West Virginia Soldiers In The War With Mexico

When the Mexican Minister, as the representative of his government officially notified Congress that in the event of the passage of the bill providing for the admission of Texas into the Union, war would follow, his declaration attracted but little attention. But when General Santa Anna equipped an army and began his march from the city of Mexico toward the Rio Grande, at the same time announcing to the excited populace of the capital of the Montezumas, that before his return be would water his horse in the Potomac river, the Americans realized the truth of the declaration made by the minister before leaving Washington. Hostilities began April 25th, 1846, and by an Act of Congress passed May 13, 1847, it was declared that, "by an Act of the Republic of Mexico, a state of war exists between that Government and the United States." There is nothing more contagious than military enthusiasm, and though philanthropists depict the blessings of peace and dilate on the horrors of war, let the drum beat and the bugle sound and the field and workshop will be deserted and the young and brave follow in their wake in quest of glory and adventure. Such was the existing condition in the United States, at the time of the declaration of war against Mexico. The President, James K. Polk, issued a call for troops and a requisition was made on Virginia. This was as follows:

Letter From William L. Marcy, Secretary Of War, To William Smith, Governor Of Virginia.

War Department,
November 16,1846.

x x x The President now directs me to notify your Excellency that one Infantry regiment of volunteers from your State is required for immediate service, and to be continued therein during the war with Mexico, unless sooner discharged. The regiment will consist of -

Field and Staff: - 1 Colonel, 1 Lieutenant Colonel, 1 Major, 1 Adjutant, (a Lieutenant of one of the Companies, but not in addition.)

Non-commissioned Staff: - 1 Sergeant Major, 1 Quartermaster Sergeant, 2 Principal Musicians, and 10 Companies, each of which to consist of one Captain, 1 First Lieutenant, 2 Second Lieutenants, 4 Sergeants, 4 Corporals, 2 Musicians, and 80 Privates.

Should the number of Privates, on being mustered, not fall below sixty-four effective men in a Company it will be received.

Guyandotte is designated as a place of rendezvous for the several companies as fast as they shall be organized, and where they may be further organized into a regiment, it not already done under a previous call. The regiment will be inspected and mustered into service by an officer or officers of the United States Army, who will, in every case, be instructed to receive no man who is in years apparently over 45 or under 18, or who is not of physical strength and vigor. x x x

Secretary of War.
To his Excellency William Smith, Governor of Virginia.

On the 18th of November - that on which Governor Smith received the above communication - he issued a proclamation calling for ten companies of volunteers to constitute a regiment to serve according to the terms of the requisition of the President. These companies when organized and their officers commissioned, were to rendezvous at Guyandotte in Cabell county, now in West Virginia, there to be mustered into the service of the United [States]. On the same day William H. Richardson, Adjutant-General of Virginia, issued "General Orders" declaring that the Infantry Regiment of Volunteers required by the Governor's Proclamation, should consist of the officers and privates as designated in the President's Requisition.

Nowhere else did the call for volunteers meet with a readier response than in the Virginia counties now included in West Virginia. In the issue of the Martinsburg Gazette, of November 26th, there appeared a call for a meeting of citizens of Berkeley county, on Friday evening, the 27th ensuing to respond to the proclamation of Governor Smith. The result of this meeting was that Captain Ephrain G. Alburtis, editor of the Berkeley County Republican, and Captain of the "Independent Blues" tendered to the Governor the services of himself and company and these were promptly accepted...

The Governor's call for volunteers met with a response as enthusiastic in Jefferson county as it did in Berkeley; and while Captain Alburtis, was drilling the "Independent Blues" of Martinsburg, Captain John William Rowan was organizing the "Jefferson County Volunteers" at Charles Town and Shepherdstown...

Organization Of The Regiment.

On the 10th day of December, 1846, Governor Smith writing the Secretary of War, said: "Give me the privilege of mustering both battalions at Richmond, and I will promptly furnish as fine a Regiment as the world can produce." With the request, the President and Secretary of War complied, and the place of rendezvous was thus changed from Guyandotte, on the Ohio, to Richmond on the James. The reasons assigned for this change were that the greater number of companies were organized east of the Blue Ridge; and that because of the bad roads and deep snows in the Alleghenies at that season of the year rendered the march to Guyandotte almost impossible. Speedily the various company organizations including those from Berkeley and Jefferson counties, gathered at Richmond where they were mustered into service by Captain Larkin Smith of the Eighth Regiment, United States Infantry. On the 22d of December the Governor and Council of State appointed John F. Hamtramck of Shepherdstown, Jefferson county, now in West Virginia, Colonel of the Regiment, and he, arrived at Richmond on the 30th ensuing, at which time there was a great military and civic demonstration. On the 3d day of January, 1847, the first battalion of five companies, left Richmond for Old Point Comfort. The same day three other companies arrived at Richmond and two others were on the march to that city. On the 26th of that month, four companies sailed in the "Mayflower" from Old Point for Mexico; fresh water and supplies were taken on board at Havanna [sic], Cuba, February 7th, and then the voyage was continued to Point Isabel, at the mouth of the Rio Grande. February 24th, Colonel Hamtramck having completed arrangements for the sailing of the remaining companies; and having received a beautiful sword, presented by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth, left Richmond overland for New Orleans. Early in March, the Regiment, complete in its organization was at Point Isabel, whence it proceeded by steamboats up the Rio Grande and San Juan rivers to Comargo, from which place it proceeded to Monterey.

A letter written at Monterey, by Dr. E. K. Chamberlin, Surgeon of the First Regiment Ohio Volunteers, under date of April 23, 1847, says: -

"The Virginia Regiment under Colonel Hamtramck escorting a train of one hundred and eighty wagons from Comargo, arrived here yesterday. They have been sixteen days on the way, having been detained by heavy rains. They were obliged to build several bridges over streams that three weeks ago had not a drop of water in them. The Regiment is one of the largest and finest appearing ones I have seen in the field. The officers are generally military men of experienc[e] and appear to be gentlemen of high honor and bearing. The "Old Dominion" may well feel proud of the force she has sent into the field." From Monterey, the march was continued by way of Santillo to Buena Vista. No braver Regiment did battle on the plains of Mexico than this.

Volunteering In Western Virginia West Of The Allegheny Mountains For The War With Mexico.

There was no company organization in Greenbrier county for the War with Mexico, but a number of men from this county hastened away to Staunton and enlisted in the Augusta County Company, formed at that place, and commanded by Captain Kenton Harper. The Roster of this Company is printed in the "Muster Rolls of the Virginia Militia," pp. 69, 70. A local historian familiar with the family names in Greenbrier, would, doubtless, readily detect and classify those from that county, who served in Captain Harper's Company. This will, doubtless, be done by some interested person in the near future.

Monongalia County Men In The War With Mexico.

Lieutenant George W. Clutter, early in 1847, enlisted a detachment of thirty-two men in Monongalia county, for service in the War with Mexico. They were known as the "Mountain Boys of Monongalia," and all left Morgantown, May 21, 1847, and proceeded to Fortress Monroe, Virginia, where they were attached to Company B of the Thirteenth United States Infantry, of which John Tyler was captain. He resigned and Lieutenant Clutter was promoted to the captaincy. The Company sailed June 9, 1847, in the brig "Tuckahoe" from Old Point Comfort, to Point Isabel at the mouth of the Rio Grande, whence the Regiment marched to join the forces of General Taylor. The names of these Monongalia county men were as follows : -

Levi L. Bryte
John W. Hayes
Elliss Mitchell
William Black
Richard Hall
John McFadden (dis.)
Jesse J. Carraco
Oakley Hopkins
William Miller
William Christy (died)

A Response To The Call Of The Governor From Harrison County.

The Harrison Republican in its issue of June 26, 1846, states that the Eleventh Regiment of the Virginia Military establishment (that of Harrison county), was paraded at Clarksburg, under Colonel Augustine J. Smith, and that forty or fifty "fell in for Mexico."'

Tender Of A Company From Kanawha County.

December 26, 1846, Governor Smith wrote the Secretary of War, saying: "Messrs. Kemper and Fry, two gallant young gentlemen from Kanawha, have just called on me to know if they can raise a company in that county for service in the War with Mexico." Their request was of course denied for the Regiment was already full.

Ready For The War In Ohio County.

The Wheeling Times, in its issue of November 25, 1846, contained a call for a meeting of the people of Ohio county on that evening, for the purpose of organizing a company for service in the War with Mexico. The ranks of the company were filled, and on the 11th of February, 1847, a meeting was held for the purpose of organization. Colonel Benjamin F. Kelly presided, and John J. Watson acted as Secretary; Daniel S. Lee was elected Captain; George W. Clutter, First Lieutenant; and John Jay Watson, Second Lieutenant. An editorial in the Argus, of February 23d ensuing, recommends that the ladies of Wheeling present the Company with a flag, before its departure. But now there was disappointment; information was received from the Governor of Virginia to the effect that the Regiment called for by the president was full, and no additional troops could be received. It was now that Lieutenant Clutter, previously mentioned, proceeded to Monongalia where he enlisted the detachment which became part of Company B. of the Thirteenth United States Infantry.

As early as December 10, 1846, Governor Smith had information that a company was being organized in Cabell county, Western Virginia, for service in the War with Mexico.

A Patriotic Demonstration In Cabell County.

The Richmond Enquirer in its issue of January 16th, 1848, has the following under the caption, "Volunteer Movements in Western Virginia."

"A letter from Cabell C. H., of the 6th of January, alludes to the .formation of a volunteer company for Mexico. The Regiment was called together on the 4th instant, when fifty-three stepped forward and enrolled themselves as ready to march and fight in their country's cause.

They were to start on the 7th for Wayne C. H., where the Regiment was to meet on the 9th, hoping to make up the requisite number. Though this company will be formed too late to be accepted by the State, it shows that there are some gallant spirits in Cabell county. The citizens of the Courthouse have subscribed $200 for their benefit, and Charles Conner (so public-spirited a gentleman deserves to be named with praise) has made a donation of $100. Again, we say, well done old Cabell! She has set a patriotic example for her neighbors, which will not be lost upon them, should the country hereafter call upon Virginia for more of her sons to fight in a good cause."

Captain Elisha W. McComas' Company C. Of The Eleventh United States Infantry.

The Virginia Regiment being full and already gone to Mexico, Elisha W. McComas and Joseph Samuels secured Commissions as Captain and First Lieutenant, and at Wheeling, and in Cabell and other counties bordering on the Ohio, raised a company which was attached as Company C. of the Eleventh United States Infantry. The Rendezvous was Guyandotte, in Cabell county, from which the Company proceeded to Newport barracks, where it was mustered into service. "Yesterday," said the New Orleans Delta, in its issue of August 5, 1847, "Captain Elisha W. McComas and Lieutenant Joseph Samuels, with seventy-five privates of Company C. of the Eleventh United States Infantry of the Regular Army, arrived on the steamer "Pontiac" from Newport barracks."

West Virginia Organizations Which Saw Service In Mexico.

Four West Virginia Organizations were accepted - two by Virginia and two by the United States - and saw service on the battlefields of Mexico. These were as follows: -

Captain Ephraim G. Alburtis' Berkeley County Company, in First Regiment Virginia Volunteers.

Captain John William Rowan's Jefferson County Company, in First Regiment Virginia Volunteers.

Captain Elisha W. McComas' Company C. of Eleventh Regiment, United States Infantry.

Captain George W. Clutter's Detachment of Monongalia "Mountain Boys" attached to Company B of the Thirteenth Regiment, United States Infantry.

West Virginia Organizations Which Tendered Their Services To The State Of Virginia But Were Not Received.

Ten Companies of West Virginians were enlisted, organized and tendered their services to the Governor of the Commonwealth for the War with Mexico, but were not received for the reason, that the National Government called upon Virginia for only one Regiment and this, as we have seen was speedily filled by men from the eastern part of the State. These ten West Virginia Companies were as follows: -

Kemper & Fry's Kanawha Riflemen of Kamawha county.

Captain Daniel S. Lee's Volunteers of Ohio county.

Captain Elisha W. McComas' Volunteers of Cabell county.

Captain - Kramer's Monongalia Blues of Monongalia county.

Captain ___ Fowler's Cheat River Invincibles of Preston county.

Captain ____ Ellison's Cavalry Company of Preston county.

Captain Byron J. Bassel's Volunteers of Harrison county.

Captain Hiram W. Winters' Bridgeport Rifles of Harrison county.

Captain Cyrus Vance's Harrison Guards from Harrison county.

Captain Cruger W. Smith's Clarksburg Rifles of Harrison county.

It is thus seen that, had they been permitted, these West Virginia Volunteers would have completely filled the ranks of the First Virginia Regiment; or bad a second Regiment been called for, were ready to organize it with a full complement of a thousand men.

Service Of Individual Soldiers.

Among the West Virginians who served in the War with Mexico, were Lieutenant Forbes Britain, Seventh United States Infantry, of Harrison county; and Lieutenant Thomas J. Jackson, First United States Artillery, the latter born in Harrison county and reared in Lewis. He was the famous "Stonewall" Jackson, of the Confederate States Army. Others who served from Harrison county, were George Duff, Hiram Applebay, Judson Holden, and George Exline, all in Company C. of the Eleventh United States Infantry, Edgar Haymond and his brother Alfred from Braxton county, also enlisted, the former dying in Mexico, the latter soon after his return. Levi L. Bryte, of Grant District, and Alexander Jenkins of Reno District, both in Preston county, and others whose names have not been ascertained, served in this war. Isaac Lewis and ____ Knopp of Mason county, were members of Company C. of the Eleventh Regiment United States Army. The Roster of this Company may be preserved in the War Department; if we had it it would be found to contain many familiar names of men in the West Virginia counties bordering on the Ohio river, especially those of Ohio and Cabell.

Where are the Rosters of these Company Organizations? Lost or preserved, which? Some are doubtless lost; others may yet be found in the possession of individuals; in county record offices; in the Archives of Virginia; or in the possession of the War Department of the National Government. Doubtless search will be made for them in the future.

Murphy 'still gets butterflies' performing at home

Chip Ellis
Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. will sing the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and others April 6 at the Municipal Auditorium.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- There's an old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," and "America's Got Talent" winner and West Virginia native Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. isn't really changing anything -- well, mostly.

"Fans come up to me after shows and they tell me, 'Don't change anything,'" Murphy said.

And then they ask him to add another song from the 1960s "Rat Pack" milieu or maybe a little Motown music.

"People want to hear it," Murphy said, and shrugged.

And Murphy said he wants to give them what they want.

Murphy will be singing the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and many others April 6 at the Charleston Municipal Auditorium.

The show is a benefit for Charleston's Community Music Association and Junior Achievement of West Virginia, and will also feature a full slate of performers with deep West Virginia roots, including former "American Idol" contestant Chase Likens, Morgantown-based country group the Davisson Brothers, Taylor County's breakout country performers Taylor Made and Charleston-area bands Johnny Staats and the Delivery Boys and the Carpenter Ants.

For Murphy, it's another show in his home state, which he said is still a treat.

"I love playing in West Virginia," he said. "But I still get butterflies every time I go out on that stage."

The former carwash employee turned talent contest winner said he's still adjusting to it all: the crowds, the fans and some of the darker aspects of success.

Still, there's a lot to like. Winning on "America's Got Talent" has created many opportunities.

He's been able to travel to places he never thought he'd see and do things beyond his dreams.

"We were in Stuttgart and Frankfurt in Germany," he said. "We performed for veterans on Veterans Day. That was really fun."

He also got to sing the national anthem at a Miami Heat game, which was a big deal for Murphy, a huge basketball fan.

"I'd never been to an NBA game," Murphy said. "Growing up, I was, like, this huge Michael Jordan fan. I loved the Chicago Bulls."

With a brisk touring schedule, Murphy has done well financially. He's no longer scraping by. With his earnings, he was able to buy a five-bedroom house and install a small recording studio.

"It's a kind of country-city place," he said, smiling broadly. "That sort of fits me."

But fame and success have come at a price.

Murphy said, "I've lost friends, I've lost family. They just stopped coming around."

His wife, Jennifer, nodded her head and said the same thing had happened to her. "I've got girlfriends who just stopped coming by, stopped talking to me."

Neither of them are sure why. They don't feel any different than they've always been. They don't think they're really showing off that much, even though, yes, Murphy has had some success.

They're not sure what's scared people off.

Murphy said right after he won "America's Got Talent" in 2011, things got a little crazy. He started making money and, perhaps not surprisingly, people came asking for money.

A lot of them were people Murphy didn't even know.

"People came from out of state," he said. "I saw people from Texas, California, Ohio. It was really crazy."

Others closer to Murphy didn't ask for anything, but they didn't seem to want anything to do with him either.

"I don't know if they're sad or if they're mad," Murphy said. "So I guess being successful has been a blessing and a curse at the same time."

The worst of it has been Murphy's elder brother, Anthony Page. Originally, Murphy said his brother called their carwash Three Brothers Car Wash, which referred to Page, Murphy and their younger brother, Alfonzo.

"But I was never around," Murphy said. "I'd go out and tour and I was gone. When I'd get back, I didn't want to do anything."

Murphy said his brother eventually changed the name of the shop, but they haven't talked about that or anything else.

"He's been busy," the singer said. "He's been putting in some storage units."

He hasn't been in a lot of contact with his younger brother either, though he said Alfonzo was working at a wood products plant.

Murphy regrets what he's lost, though he's not sure what to do about it -- at least, not as sure as what he wants to do with his career.

Although people know him for performing standards, he'd like to show the world he can do more. He's working on his own original material.

In his home recording studio, he has a copy of Pro Tools 10. "It makes a $10,000 studio sound like it's worth $100,000."

Murphy hopes to record some new tracks, which might lead to another record, and maybe help a few others record songs as well.

There's a lot of talent around, he said.

The trick may be finding time to get it done. After the Saturday show, Murphy will be in and out of the state, with shows in Arizona, Michigan and back to Las Vegas.

At some point, he's supposed to go to China for a taping of "China's Got Talent."

"They had me record a promo for it," he said. "I had to speak -- what is it -- Mandarin? That was crazy."

He said he also has a book coming out and may appear in a movie.

"I can't talk too much about that," he said.

It was a pretty good weekend for Mountaineer basketball. On Saturday, West Virginia announced that 6-foot-10 center Aaric Murray will join the WVU program for the 2012-13 season and will have two years of eligibility remaining after sitting out next season.

Murray spent the last two years playing at La Salle.

And then earlier tonight, after getting input from pro scouts at an NBA combine hosted by the New Jersey Nets, 6-foot-8 forward Kevin Jones announced that he was returning for his senior season at WVU.

Including Murray, Huggins signed eight players in this year’s recruiting class, but keeping Jones in the fold is by far Huggins’ top recruit. Jones and senior guard Truck Bryant are both 1,000-point scorers (the first time West Virginia is welcoming back a pair of 1,000 point scorers at the same time ever) and the two are the most experienced players on the team.

In fact, only five players with any game experience are returning for the 2011-12 campaign (Jones, Bryant, forward Deniz Kilicli, guard Dalton Pepper and forward Kevin Noreen) making this easily Huggins’ most inexperienced team since his return to West Virginia in 2007. It will be West Virginia’s biggest rebuilding job since John Beilein’s final season in 2007 when he led the Mountaineers to 27 victories and an NIT title.

Last year, Jones averaged 13.1 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, playing extremely well down the stretch by producing a season-best 25-point, 16-rebound performance in the regular season home finale against Louisville and adding 15 in a Big East tournament opening round loss to Marquette.

He produced 17 points and nine boards in West Virginia’s NCAA tournament first round victory over Clemson and reached double figures in six of his final eight games of 2011.

“I’m excited about coming back to West Virginia and playing with my teammates for my senior season,” said Jones.

Jones will enter his senior season with 1,165 career points, which currently places him 29th on the school’s all-time scoring list. A productive 2012 will easily get Jones into the top 10 in scoring.

With 688 rebounds, Jones also has a shot of becoming just the fifth player in school history to grab 1,000 career boards. The four in the 1,000-rebound club are Jerry West (1,240), Lloyd Sharrar (1,178), Warren Baker (1,070) and Willie Bergines (1,025).

Baker, a teammate of Huggins at WVU, is the last Mountaineer player to grab 1,000 career rebounds 35 years ago in 1976.

“Kevin went through the process in a systematic and professional manner by exploring his options,” said Huggins. “He was able to gain feedback from NBA professionals that will help him in the future. We’re pleased that he will be a Mountaineer for his senior season.”

Mountaineer Nation is also pleased.

Mountaineers to Tangle With Texas Tech

  • |
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University women’s basketball team will travel to Lubbock, Texas for an 8 p.m., tipoff with Texas Tech on Wednesday.

Currently in a tie for third place with Iowa State in the Big 12 standings, Texas Tech enters Wednesday’s game with a 16-6 overall record and a 6-4 Big 12 record. Texas Tech is currently 11-2 when playing on its home court, only falling to Iowa State and Baylor.

The Mountaineers are currently 13-8 overall and 5-5 in Big 12 play. WVU enters Wednesday’s game on a two-game win streak, defeating a pair of ranked opponents in No. 19/19 Oklahoma State and No. 21/20 Oklahoma. The Lady Raiders are on a two-game losing skid after falling 90-60 to Baylor on Jan. 30, and suffering a 67-52 loss at Iowa State this past Saturday.

Senior Chynna Brown leads the Lady Raiders in scoring with 11.9 points per game and rebounding with 5.5 boards per game. Brown averages 15.7 points per league contest, the fourth-highest scoring average just in front of WVU’s Christal Caldwell, who averages 15.6 points per Big 12 game. Brown holds the team’s highest field goal percentage (45.2%) on 108-of-239 shooting and also the team’s highest 3-point field goal percentage (40%) with 28-of-70 threes made this season.

Behind Brown, senior Casey Morris averages 11.6 points per game and 10.8 in league games. Morris has collected the most threes for the Lady Raiders this season with 46 on 35.4 percent shooting. Morris also helps Texas Tech force turnovers as she has recorded a team-leading 47 steals, while Brown and Monique Smalls have grabbed 42 steals each.

Kelsi Baker rounds out the top three scorers with 10.2 points per game and 9.6 points per Big 12 game. Senior Christine Hyde is the Lady Raiders’ second-leading rebounder with 5.4 boards per game and leads the team in free throw shooting, converting 88.2 percent (30-34) in Big 12 games, the fourth-highest percentage in league play.

Texas Tech leads the all-time series 1-0 after defeating the Mountaineers 77-73 in overtime at the WVU Coliseum on Jan. 22, 2013. The Mountaineers led by as many as 11 points in the first half of that game and held a 38-29 lead at halftime, until Texas Tech came out shooting and went on a 14-3 scoring run. Tied at 69 at the end of regulation, the Lady Raiders used 6-of-8 shooting from the free throw line and a single field goal to take the final lead.

Coming off back-to-back 20-point outings, Caldwell continues to lead WVU in scoring and has led in five of the last seven games. Behind Caldwell, Taylor Palmer averages 11.4 points per league outing, but has been in a scoring slump, limited to single-digit scoring the last four games. Ayana Dunning rounds out the top three scorers in Big 12 play with 8.9 points per game.

Wednesday’s game is the second Play 4 Kay game WVU will participate in this season as its last outing at home against Oklahoma was also a Play 4 Kay game to help with breast cancer awareness.

The game will be broadcast live nationally by FOX College Sports and will air tape delayed on Root Sports Pittsburgh, starting at 10 p.m. Fans can listen to the game live on WAJR. Live stats and a recap of the game can be found at WVUsports.com.

Fast Food Fashion: Supersized Style

More than 26 million Americans wear uniforms every day. Most of those who are made to wear them are teenagers, the most style-conscious subgroup in our image-obsessed nation. Yet they have the rep as the ugliest, most ill-fitting and uncomfortable togs to roll off the conveyor belt.

Hurrah for fast-food uniforms.

A job that requires a uniform is one tough gig. The clothes are an itchy reminder that your time isn't your own, that, for the duration of your shift, you have to conform to a staple-bound employee handbook and some halitosis-prone middle manager's low expectations. It's a dress code dominated by niggling and arbitrary rules: Black shorts, but never navy! Slap a belt on those khaki pants! Wear that foam visor bill forward (or get garbage duty)!

Ah, the humiliation!

For some, leaving that McJob in the dust means gleefully trashing the visor and greasy apron forever. Others take morbid delight in continuing to wear the evidence, as if wresting the uniform from its context also robs it of its power. "I survived, see. This is ironic."

My friend Greg Ferencko, now a math professor at Tacoma Community College, routinely wore his McDonald's socks (reddish-burgundy ankle jobs with those yellow arches stitched into the sides). "You can't just go out and buy these," he'd say, pointing proudly to the pilling acrylic. "You have to work there to get these."

Jack Green, an incoming Lewis & Clark law student, has pulled paychecks from a trio of take-out joints: Gyros Gyros, Taco Bell and Burgerville (but alas, not Jack in the Box). Jack recalls his Burgerville uniform with fondness. "It was blue, and blue's a good color on me." He's pretty sure it's still at his parents' house.

Yes, there is a kind of utility chic in those tunics, polos and poly-blend pants. It's a style with history. Not only was it a way for all-consuming corporations to extend their brand, but it was also a neat way of cleaning up your employees. It helped define and enforce the personnel/patron relationship.

The paper hats that spiffy 1940s soda jerks wore were a nod to military efficiency and authority--in a crowded drugstore of unruly sockhoppers, there could be no doubt who was in charge. The sex appeal of skating carhops rolls all over our fantasies. One can catch glimpses of fast-food chic in the opaque militarism of Prada and the Gap's shrunken polos and cotton everypants. And why not? As a look, it's inherently youthful. Remember Kevin Spacey in American Beauty donning a fast-food uniform right about the time he started working out and smoking a lot of dope? For the yuppie who has moved on and up, the rigidity and desperation of a fast-food job sweetens into nostalgia.

Well it should, because the kooky uniform is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Consider Mattel's latest, the McDonald's Fun Time!™ Barbie. This fashion doll, which retails for around $16, wears a red-and-yellow McDonald's crew uniform and a hat splashed with the Golden Arches. She's traded in her handbag and cell phone for a plastic cash register and food tray (also included!). The outfit itself, white shorts and a casual yellow T-shirt with festive piping, wouldn't look out of place at a golf event or company picnic. From Barbie on up, uniforms have infiltrated daily apparel.

Evil toy giants aren't the only ones to have seized on fast-food style's appeal. Cut to haute couture: When John Galliano strode the catwalk last winter, he flaunted a burger-vendor hat complete with the legend "Galliano King: Make Mine a Whopper." Meanwhile, who wasn't tickled to bits by the racy, futuristic McDonald's staff costumes Jean Paul Gaultier threw together for Luc Besson's '90s suck-classic The Fifth Element? Or completely charmed by '80s icon Judge Reinhold in his Fast Times at Ridgemont High pirate getup?

Fast-food fashion is taking hold, if quietly. A survey of the Pioneer Place food court proves the point. Say goodbye to the retro hilarity of Hot Dog on a Stick--no matter what cuisine you're serving, caps and polos are what you serve it in. Distinguishable, but not distinguished. Uniform, but not uniformed. If it's an attempt by employers to make employees feel more at ease, more like themselves while at work, I'm not fooled. Robin Davis, a Cool Temptations employee, had to buy her black polo and black pants but still thinks of them as a uniform (she changes into jeans immediately after her shift). Sure, the clothes are probably smeared with fro-yo and berries, but it's a symbolic gesture, too.

"I have to wear these clothes every day," she says. "I don't wear them any more than I have to."

7 Jobs Affected By Layoffs, Attrition In Watertown School District

Seven positions in the Watertown City School District will be eliminated this year.

At a Watertown school board meeting Tuesday afternoon,  Superintendent Terry Fralick said three people will be laid off, including one high school art teacher and two workers in the buildings and grounds department.

Four other positions will be eliminated by workers who are resigning, retiring or finishing a special assignment.

Those include two teachers, a clerical worker and an intern who has been working as an assistant principal.

"We are going to be losing talent and we are going to have some programs that are in the high school art program that are going to be cut back," Fralick said.

The cuts will help the district save $476,000.

Fralick says the budget is so tight, the district will likely use up its fund balance of approximately $11 million.

"Our fund balance is going to be depleted in a year and a half unless we receive a significant increases in state aid," Fralick said.

School leaders say cuts have nothing to do with the performance of the people being let go. They say these cuts will be painful for everyone.

"You'll likely see some larger classes, you'll likely see fewer electives," said Michael Flick, the school board's president.

"You start cutting back to just core classes, the things you have to deliver," Flick said.

The school board adopted the 2013-2014 spending plan earlier this month.

It would raise tax levy by 5 percent and dip heavily into reserves.

The public votes on the budget next month.

School officials still have tough decisions ahead. Fralick says the district will have to make about $1 million in cuts over the next few years.

County Responds To Griffo's Suggestions

St. Lawrence County WWNY

St. Lawrence County officials are responding to a state senator's suggestions for how they can get permission to increase the county's sales tax rate.

Sen. Joe Griffo announced Thursday that he would support a sales tax increase for St. Lawrence County, if the town, villages and people of the county agreed.

He also suggested the county undergo a comprehensive audit and create a fiscal advisory committee that would do an independent review of the county budget. That committee would be made up of professionals from the private sector.

County officials countered in a written statement, saying St. Lawrence is one of only five counties that still charges a local sales tax of 3 percent on top of the state's 4 percent.

Increasing it by 1 percent, they say, will put the county on an equal footing with most of the rest of the counties.

Officials say the county "has put its financial house in order" and has opened its books to the senate's finance committee, undergone a two-month audit with the state comptroller’s office, and asked the comptroller’s office for recommendations.

What follows is the county's response:

We are pleased to see that Senator Griffo has softened his stance against raising the sales tax for St. Lawrence County. This increase, if approved, will allow the county to reduce the property tax for county residents by 14.3 percent in 2014 -- the same amount that it was increased this year. We will remain under the governor’s property tax cap -- the amount devised by the Governor’s staff to account for normal inflationary costs -- for the next four years.

The Board of Legislators, working with the county’s budget team, has developed a five-year plan that stabilizes the county’s finances and allows for repairs to critical infrastructure -- such as replacement of leaking roofs as well as replacing trucks with an excess of 200,000 miles.

Additionally, the plan calls for the county to build its fund balance from the current balance of $4 million (2 percent of budget) to $10 million in the next five years, still substantially below the comptroller’s recommendation of approximately 17 percent of budget ($32 million). However, this will help reduce the need to borrow annually for cash flow.

We are hopeful that our state representatives will approve Home Rule legislation for sales tax, which will finally provide St. Lawrence County the same tools as 57 other counties in the state. St. Lawrence is one of only five counties that remains at a 3 percent local sales tax while most are at 4 percent.  The extra 1 percent equals approximately $14 million per year and will alleviate the need for excessive property tax increases.

While St. Lawrence County has trimmed its budget by over $13 million over the past four years, including a reduction of 150 positions or 15 percent of our workforce, we remain unable to meet the growing costs of state mandates without the 1 percent sales increase.

In the past four years, the county has cut valuable services to county residents including elimination of:

- Certified Home Health Agency, which provided homecare for residents in following hospitalization and those who are in need of long term in-home care

- Cancer Services Program, which provided mammograms and screenings for those who do not have insurance or cannot afford them

- MOMS Program for pregnant mothers

- Physically Handicapped Children’s Program

- Dental Sealant Program

- Electronic home monitoring for inmates

- Rural Bus System;

- Economic Development Department;

- Partner Agency Funding to 11 organizations

Additionally, the county has reduced:

- Services in the Senior Nutrition Program

- Services for the Senior in-home Assistance Program

- Home Repair Program for the Elderly

- Contract agency funding by 10 percent

The Board of Legislators believes it has put its financial house in order. We have opened the books to the senate Finance Committee as requested by Senator Patty Ritchie, undergone a two-month audit with the comptroller’s office, and sought the assistance of the comptroller’s staff in recommendations to continue to stabilize the finance of the county.

We, now, turn to our state representatives to provide the county with parity and equal treatment by giving us the same tools as almost all other counties in the state through authorizing the Home Rule legislative approval to increase the sales tax to 4 percent.

Microsoft Corp., the world’s largest maker of software, is looking forward to design chips on its own, according to claims made in an interview. The company, who has been trying hard to penetrate the market of consumer electronics for several years now, does not specify its plans, but one of the targets of the firm is to create a microprocessor for the next-generation Xbox game console.

New York Times reports that Microsoft has established its Computer Architecture Group that will develop various chips in Redmond, Washington, and Silicon Valley, California. The details of the effort are pretty vague to date, however, one of the things is quite obvious: development chips for its custom devices, such as Xbox.

“One reason for the effort is that Microsoft needs to begin thinking about the next-generation design of its Xbox game console,” said Charles P. Thacker, a veteran engineer and Microsoft engineer who will head the Silicon Valley group. Voice recognition may also be an area where the research could play a significant role.

For the first Xbox console Microsoft used an off-the-shelf microprocessor, but for the current-generation Xbox 360 the company utilizes a custom-made PowerPC architecture processor that it co-developed with IBM and even supervises its manufacturing process. Perhaps, the next-generation Xbox game console will employ a custom-designed microprocessor fully designed by Microsoft’s own engineers.

Currently it is unclear whether Microsoft plans to construct its own microprocessor architecture, such as Power or x86. Given that the former is now an open standard, the company may start developing custom chips instead of investing billions of dollars in creation of its own architecture and then building software for it.

Microsoft effort in chip design does not fit into industry trends actually: for several years companies in the information and technology (IT) markets have been trying to focus on as low amount of different areas of the business as possible. For example Philips sold its semiconductor division earlier this year, whereas IBM got rid of its personal computer business back in 2004 to focus on other areas.

Intel Corp. and Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST) late on Monday disclosed plans to jointly develop and deliver Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Fibre Channel (FC) enterprise-class solid-state drives (SSDs) for servers, workstations and storage systems. Intel will concentrate on entry-level SSDs, whereas Hitach-GST will focus on enterprise-class solutions.

“We understand the needs of today's enterprise customers and are committed to delivering breakthrough products that increase their data center performance and reduce total cost of ownership,” said Shinjiro Iwata, executive vice president of strategic business operations at Hitachi GST.

The two companies will work together exclusively to deliver enterprise SSDs with SAS and FC interfaces, with the first products expected to be available in early 2010.

Hitachi GST will continue to provide its OEM customers with a comprehensive portfolio of enterprise storage products that includes traditional HDDs and forthcoming SSDs. Intel will continue to develop, market and sell its award-winning product lines of high-performance SATA SSDs.

“By expanding our product line-up to include both traditional enterprise hard drives and new SSDs, Hitachi GST will continue to provide customers with a proven set of products tailored to meet the high-performance, high-reliability requirements of today's data center,” Mr. Iwata added.

The new SSDs will be branded and exclusively sold and supported by Hitachi GST and use Intel NAND flash memory and SSD technology. Hitachi GST has expertise in drive firmware, reliability, qualification and system integration that, together with Intel's technology and manufacturing capabilities, is expected to deliver world-class solutions with the performance and reliability that enterprise storage customers demand.

The new generation of solid-state drive technology complements existing enterprise-class hard disk drives (HDDs) and is intended for use in storage applications that require extremely high Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) performance and power efficiency.

“The new solid-state drives for the enterprise include a number of architectural breakthroughs and improve performance and energy usage models that will change enterprise computing,” said Randy Wilhelm, vice president and general manager, of Intel NAND solutions group. “Intel and Hitachi GST share a common objective in delivering SAS/FC products based on solid-state technology that will help enterprise customers meet the skyrocketing demands for performance while reducing space, power and cooling costs.”

XBox Live in Dance Paradise

I tried to access the XBox Live portion of Dance Paradise twice today, through the main entry screen, and it didn't work. When I first logged into the game it recognized me yet when I 'clicked' on the XBox Live icon it had me log in and then loaded the main entry form again.

I was just wondering if this worked for any of you and if so is it just a temporary glitch in the system or do I have to do something to fix it.

Whitepaper: Accelerating CVA Computations the Easy Way

The risks associated with over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives were the key contributing factor to the 2007/2008 global financial crisis. Therefore financial institutions worldwide have drastically shifted the focus of their risk management
towards counterparty credit risk (CCR), i.e., the risk associated with a counterparty default before the end of an OTC contract.

Several CCR measures are in use in practice, e.g., credit valuation adjustment (CVA), and international regulatory frameworks (i.e. Basel III) introduced more measures and increased the computational complexity. In addition, banks are
striving to quickly respond to market and regulatory changes through flexible in-house software. This makes fast and maintainable software implementations essential.

This white paper examines the implementation of CVA algorithms. It outlines their typical structure and explains how the increasing complexity in the algorithms consumes vast computing resources. It is shown how such algorithms are typically implemented in C++ and executed in a grid infrastructure, before introducing how great speed-ups can be achieved. Using a real-world case study from a tier-one investment bank, the paper demonstrates how performance can be doubled on an existing CPU grid infrastructure and how a ten-fold speed-up can be achieved with a combination of CPU and GPU resources. Such speedups are achieved while keeping the developer productivity high, cutting the total cost of ownership.

ARP Diesel Head Stud Kit 247-4203

1989-1998 Dodge 5.9L Cummins 12V
Mfg. Number:
XDP Part Number:
$5 Price Beat Guarantee

To overcome head gasket failures that can occur in diesel engines employed in truck and RV applications, industry leader ARP has introduced extra heavy-duty head studs for the popular Ford, Dodge and GM powerplants. These ARP studs are rated at 220,000 psi tensile strength, and provide the clamping force required to keep cylinder heads from lifting due to higher combustion pressures. The studs are manufactured in ARP's Santa Paula, CA plant from proprietary ARP 2000 material, with threads rolled after heat-treat to provide optimum fatigue strength. They are centerless ground to assure perfect concentricity. The ends of the studs are broached to facilitate easy installation. This feature also enables the cylinder head to be removed in tight quarters. Also included in each kit are heat-treated, chrome-moly steel 12-point nuts and parallel-ground washers. They are black oxide finished for extra durability.

Rosie Perez Remembers Her Dear Friend Heavy D

Thousands of people had their hearts broken over hearing about the untimely death of Heavy D. One such person was Rosie Perez. The beloved actress got to know Heavy D and forge a solid friendship with him over the years. Here, Perez gives XXL her heartfelt memories of how she became friends with Heavy and how she was hit with the shocking news of his passing. —As told to Mark Lelinwalla

I met Heavy because Andre Harrell, who was President of Uptown Records at the time, hired me to choreograph the music video “We Got Our Own Thing” and subsequently the Heavy D Tour. This was either 1990 or 1991. My first impression of him was he was very gentlemanly and very respectful and fun and very business-like. Our friendship then evolved quite naturally. He even dated a member of my family! We were very close and the closeness was immediate. He was a very lovable guy, very much his own man. He didn’t adhere to the latest trends, he set them. And [he was] a family man, if you met Heavy and he liked you, you met his family. On tour that’s when we got really, really close. I thought he was a supreme dancer. He had immense amount of ability and physicality that you wouldn’t think of somebody his size. At the time, he lost an immense amount of weight but his weight was never a factor and it was impressive. Very, very impressive that if you showed him something once he got it. I spent much more time with his dancers, not because they were less talented, it’s because they were less focused. He was very, very much a focused man because he enjoyed what he was doing; he didn’t see it as work. Heavy was always on time, he was already ready. He wasn’t your typical rapper filled with bravado and having to prove to be a superstar. He was very comfortable in his role as an entertainer. That’s how he presented himself in his business. Everything was easy, everything was comfortable, everything was fun because everything was in place. When he showed up for tour and got on the tour bus it was all about practical jokes because he made room for that because everything else was set.

I remember [on the set of In Living Color] – he had this thing with splashing water on me and I couldn’t stand it because it messed up my hair and he knew it; he loved it. He’d love to see me— see my response. When I roll with the punches with a good practical joke – and I retaliate by putting a sock full of make-up power and running into the room and hitting him. The staff of In Living Color was like ‘Who is this girl?’ You know, it was so much fun. That’s who he was. It was like, “Ok, we got that out of the way, now let’s have fun.”

I [heard the news of his death when I] was driving home from the veterinarian from picking up my dog and my best friend Julie, who also worked at In Living Color, called me up and her first words were, “Oh my God, are you okay?” and she was screaming and crying. “Why wouldn’t I be okay,” [I asked] and then she was like, “Oh my God, you didn’t hear?” and then she told me. I literally had to – I couldn’t say anything, I was just quiet, I was stunned and shocked. I had to pull over because it was very, very sad and very, very shocking because he was a great person, a very lovable person. He always treated you with hugs and say, “Don’t forget about me, I love you. I love you very much, don’t forget to call, to check in with me,” and it was heartbreaking, you know. Especially for hip-hop to lose a gentleman and then the acting roles. He ventured into acting and he was fucking awesome. At lot of rappers become actors and they just become extensions of the persona that they put out there as an artist. With him he was an actor, he let all of Heavy D go away and became the person he was hired to play, and that’s a sad thing to lose as well. Everyone’s saying about his music career, but let’s not forget about his acting. He didn’t have any big major roles, but I remember watching him on Broadway with you know, Lawrence Fishburne. He held his own. He was amazing. Overall, he was a family man. He gave it his all, gave it all as a family man and that’s what’s more heartbroken – heartbreaking it’s just really, really sad. ‘Cause his only thing he would say is “I’m living for my daughter right now” and that’s just a beautiful thing. So my heart goes out to his family.”

    Thanks for sharing your wonderful memories of Heavy D, Rosie. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to meet him or see him perform live, but I’m glad I grew up on his music in the 90s. I knew he had a daughter, but I didn’t know what a dedicated parent he was until recently watching interviews in which he mentioned her. ~May God bless his family and friends.

  • Fireforreal

    Somebody like Heavy D makes me see how far hip hop has come finacially but declined creativley. This was a time when you had Public Enenmy,EPMD,Slick Rick,LL,NWA etc…. so many diffrent artist’s with such diffrent styles and you respected them because they were there own people not a bunch of talentless copy cats who care more about who’s featured on there album or what producer does the tracks.

    Thank you for publishing Ms. Perez’s statement. It is good to read such a long, informative piece from someone who personally knew him. Thank you! And my condolences to you for losing a good friend. And the same to his family. I’m with you Phumi on the low traffic here.

    Thank you Rosie, Thank you Lord for Heavy D!!!!! He will be missed.

T.I. Describes Joint Album With B.o.B. As A ‘Hybrid’

T.I. and B.o.B are both gearing up to release solo projects next year, and since they’re already spending so much time in the studio together, they decided to collaborate on a joint album as well. They’ve revealed that the LP will be called The Man and the Martianand Tip says that the album will be a true blend of their respective sounds. “Initially I’m the Man and he’s the Martian—to the naked eye,” T.I. told MTV News. “But once you scratch beneath the surface, you’ll find that he’s the Man sometimes and I’m the Martian.” Read more…

Big Sean and Naya Rivera Make Their Official Couple Debut

It looks like Big Sean has a new squeeze.

According to the Daily Mail, the G.O.O.D. Music rapper and actress Naya Rivera made their public debut as a couple at the premiere of the Jackie Robinson biopic 42 this week. Rivera is perhaps best known for her role on the sitcom “Glee.”

The two reportedly met at Sean’s surprise 25th birthday party last month. The two were later seen in the audience at Rihanna’s recent performance at Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Monday.

Check out additional pics of the couple at the Daily Mail.

Young Jeezy Becomes The Senior VP of A&R at Atlantic Records

Corporate Thug is right.

Young Jeezy confirmed rumored reports of him accepting an executive position with Atlantic Records with a couple of tweets this morning (August 9).

“From the streets to the Boardroom,” Jeezy tweeted out to the masses. “SVP of A&R at Atlantic Records I am. Let’s Get It! #itsthaworld

“Corporate thuggin to the max!” he added just over a half hour later.

In doing so, the Snowman confirmed DJ Greg Street’s announcement, on Atlanta’s V103 radio dial, of Jeezy becoming the new Senior VP of A&R for Atlantic Records.

DJ Folk, who handles A&R for Jeezy, then tweeted: “The announcement Greg Street made on the radio a sec ago gonna fuck n—as up when they catch wind of it lol”

Tone Trump, a newly-signed rapper to Jeezy’s CTE World crew, was ecstatic for his boss.

“To see somebody that come from the same struggle as me make a power move like that is inspiring,” Trump told XXL. “The fact that it’s my big homie makes it even more special. It’s Tha World!”

Accepting the position, puts Jeezy in a similar situation to that of Rick Ross in the sense that Snow is a Def Jam Records artist, but now has an exec seat with Atlantic Records and Rozay is also a Def Jam artist, but his label, Maybach Music Group is distributed by Warner Bros. Records.—Mark Lelinwalla

No. 2 Yale Lightweights Look to Reclaim Durand Cup

Yale's Varsity Eight (Photo Courtesy Carol Hsin)

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The No. 2 Yale lightweight crew team is back in action this Saturday, traveling up to Hanover, N.H., to race No. 5 Dartmouth on the Connecticut River. At stake will be the Durand Cup, which has been awarded to the winner of this race annually since 1958. Yale will look at take back the cup, as it fell to Dartmouth in the varsity race last year.

Last week, Yale successfully completed a double header, winning six of eight races on the day. In the morning against Penn and Columbia, the Yale first varsity, second varsity and first freshmen all finished ahead of their opponents. The varsity was locked in a close race against Columbia, but used strong moves to pull away and win by 2.1 seconds. Similar racing followed in the afternoon, with the Yale first varsity, second varsity and first freshmen all defeating Cornell. The varsity eight rowed a rhythmic piece in finishing 5.4 seconds ahead.

At last year's regatta, Yale won four of five races, however Yale lost by 2.7 seconds in the varsity race to lose the cup. Yale finished ahead in the second varsity, third varsity, first freshmen and fourth varsity races. Last weekend, Dartmouth's varsity lost to Harvard by 4.2 seconds, while the freshmen lost to Harvard's freshmen by 13.6 seconds. However, Dartmouth was able to secure victories in the second varsity race as well as the varsity fours race.

Racing is scheduled to begin at 9 am.

Yale Seeks Second Straight Victory

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's soccer team has three games left before the start of Ivy League play on Oct 2 at Harvard. Two will be in the friendly confines of Reese Stadium. The one road trip is Tuesday, but it won't take the Bulldogs very far from campus. Yale makes the short journey up I-91 to meet Quinnipiac at 4 p.m.

The Bulldogs (1-5) hope to build on Saturday's thrilling 2-1 overtime victory over Sacred Heart. Andy Hackbarth scored the winning goal on a penalty kick late in the second extra period. There were a number of positives in the game. Yale's defensive pressure forced Sacred Heart into a number of turnovers. Offensively, the Bulldogs generated good pressure.  A pair of freshmen teamed up to account for Yale's goal. Cody Wilkins dribbled down the near side and sent a perfect cross to Peter Jacobson, who banged it in.

Quinnipiac (0-4) has struggled to score goals early in the season. The Bobcats' only goal came in a 2-1 loss to Loyola, Md., on Sept. 11. George Ellis has started three games in goal and has a 1.70 goals against average.

Yale and Quinnipiac played a spirited 1-1 tie last year in New Haven. The two goals were scored 33 seconds apart late in the first half. Scott Armbrust scored for the Bulldogs, while Dwayne Mars had the Bobcats goal.

Shortcomings in media coverage and under-reporting of potential worldwide ramifications are explored in a journal article outlining ways to improve public understanding of, and action on, risks facing coral reefs across the globe.

Media take a hit — justifiably, many might say — in a recent “Finding Nemo” report arguing that important coral species and sources of human food are being imperiled while the media are fiddling around with other things.

A University of Texas photojournalism graduate student and high school journalism teacher, Tara Haelle, points the finger squarely at journalists in a November 7 “Coral Reefs in Crisis: Finding Nemo May Become a lot Tougher” 1,800-word report in The Sustainability Review.

She paints a bleak picture of the state of coral reefs as the result of the “triple threat” of bleaching, higher prevalence of disease, and ocean acidification. Many thousands of miles of now-starving coral reefs will recover, “but in their weakened state, they’ll become more susceptible to the diseases proliferating as sea surface temperatures rise,” she wrote, calling corals “the bedrock of marine ecosystems.”

“The public needs better media reporting and guidance to address the problem; we lack both at the moment,” Haelle wrote, expressing optimism that both “can be remedied.”

Reporting dire impacts around dinner tables and the likelihood of significant economic losses, Haelle quoted experts pointing to the potential for reverberating impacts and job losses worldwide.

Her antidote? Better media coverage of “what’s really going on and what to do about it.” And motivating people about issues “so seemingly remote, in both miles and years. Reporters must clearly explain what’s causing the degradation of our coral reefs and why it matters.”

She acknowledges that “it’s hard to personalize something like bleaching that’s only visible underwater at certain times” and difficult to illustrate ocean acidification. Haelle quotes University of Texas environmental journalism professor Kris Wilson as saying reporters must “transcend the journalism of proximity” and “take something abstract and bring it to a level to feel it’s a part of their readers’ lives.” One example: pointing to medicines derived from coral reef-dependent species.

“Fundamental differences between scientific thinking and journalistic storytelling ….” That’s another challenge, she reported. “The scientific method requires scientists to accept uncertainty in much of what they do; even gravity is still a theory.” She pointed also to the vastly different time-frames scientists and on-deadline reporters deal with, and to differences in their approach to and understanding of uncertainty.

“Most regrettably,” Haelle said reporters “often leave readers feeling powerless” through artificial he said/she said and false-balance reporting that may belie scientific consensus and through reporting in ways that “sound doomsday trumpets without informing readers how to take action.”

2013 NFL Draft 9th Pick: CB Dee MillinerCollege: AlabamaHeight: 6'0"Weight: 201Headline: The Milliner Peninsula? Initial Reaction:With the 9th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the New York Jets selected CB Dee Milliner out of Alabama. A consensus top 10 overall pick, its fair to say the Jets received good value in their selection of Milliner. Many draft experts had Milliner in the top-5 if not for a recent reported shoulder injury.  The problem many Jets' fans will have with this, Milliner is basically asked to replace what many believe to be a Hall of Fame cornerback in Darrelle Revis (traded to the Bucs for the 13th pick). New GM John Idzik needed to hit a home run here and no one can really say that he did. Further Analysis:If Jets' fans had the wherewithal to calm down a bit, the selection of Milliner does make some sense. The trade of Revis left the Jets with a gaping hole in the starting secondary and Milliner slides right into the starting mix next to Pro-Bowler CB Antonio Cromart...

Driven out of New York after failing to live up to a hefty contract and back to the depths of Double-A after almost a decade of Major League service, Oliver Perez faced a crossroads in his professional life last year. Despite the continual adjustments that came with the new territory of relief pitching, Perez’s return to the Major Leagues was successful. The lefty turned into one of the better comeback stories in baseball in 2012, as he posted a 2.12 ERA in 33 appearances for the Mariners and became a reliable veteran for skipper Eric Wedge in a bullpen brimming with youth. Perez had a good enough season that he’ll surely garner some offseason interest, with the Mariners among the interested clubs. Seattle has exclusive rights to re-sign him before all free agents hit the open market Thursday night. - Josh Liebeskind, MLB.com

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Building big leads doesn't seem to be a problem for the Detroit Pistons. Maintaining them is something they haven't mastered. The Pistons led the Atlanta Hawks by 17 points with seven minutes remaining on Friday, then barely held on for an 85-84 victory at The Palace. They have won four in a row despite being outscored 75-52 in the final quarter of their last three games, including a 22-11 deficit to Atlanta. It's been a season-long trend, as they lost eight games this season after establishing double-digit leads. "We've been improving," said center Greg Monroe, who had 18 points and nine rebounds. "We still have a ways to go but we're finding ways to win now." Austin Daye scored a season-high 20 points off the bench for the Pistons (13-22) and Jason Maxiell contributed 10 points and 10 rebounds. Rodney Stuckey, who missed the previous three games with a left ankle sprain, added 10 points. They can sweep their five-game homestand with a victory over ...

Hood Gets By Spartans in CAC Tilt

FREDERICK, Md. – The York College women's tennis team suffered a 7-2 loss to Hood College Saturday in Capital Athletic Conference action from Frederick, Md. The loss drops the Green and White to 5-10 on the season (2-4 CAC) while the Blazers improve to 7-10 (2-4 CAC).

Both of York's triumphs came in singles matches as Nicole Olson and Emily Price tallied victories. Olson snagged her team-best eighth triumph of the season courtesy of a straight-set 6-0, 7-5 win at fifth singles.

Price, in just her rookie season, has now collected four victories in seven singles matches as she picked up the win in the sixth spot. Price nabbed a 6-2, 6-3 result.

The Spartans return to action on Sunday, April 15, as they host CAC foe Frostburg St. in an 11:00 am match in York, Pa.
