Michelle Obama does it again...
Michelle Obama does it again...
Hi-Ho, the Derry-O
By Dana Milbank
Friday, September 18, 2009
Let's say you're preparing dinner and you realize with dismay that you don't have any certified organic Tuscan kale. What to do?
Here's how Michelle Obama handled this very predicament Thursday afternoon:
The Secret Service and the D.C. police brought in three dozen vehicles and shut down H Street, Vermont Avenue, two lanes of I Street and an entrance to the McPherson Square Metro station. They swept the area, in front of the Department of Veterans Affairs, with bomb-sniffing dogs and installed magnetometers in the middle of the street, put up barricades to keep pedestrians out, and took positions with binoculars atop trucks. Though the produce stand was only a block or so from the White House, the first lady hopped into her armored limousine and pulled into the market amid the wail of sirens.
Then, and only then, could Obama purchase her leafy greens. "Now it's time to buy some food," she told several hundred people who came to watch. "Let's shop!"
Cowbells were rung. Somebody put a lei of marigolds around Obama's neck. The first lady picked up a straw basket and headed for the "Farm at Sunnyside" tent, where she loaded up with organic Asian pears, cherry tomatoes, multicolored potatoes, free-range eggs and, yes, two bunches of Tuscan kale. She left the produce with an aide, who paid the cashier as Obama made her way back to the limousine.
There's nothing like the simple pleasures of a farm stand to return us to our agrarian roots.
The first lady had encouraged Freshfarm Markets, the group that runs popular farmers markets in Dupont Circle and elsewhere, to set up near the White House, and she helped get the approvals to shut down Vermont Avenue during rush hour on Thursdays. But the result was quite the opposite of a quaint farmers market. Considering all the logistics, each tomato she purchased had a carbon footprint of several tons.
The promotion of organic and locally grown food, though an admirable cause, is a risky one for the Obamas, because there's a fine line between promoting healthful eating and sounding like a snob. The president, when he was a candidate in 2007, got in trouble in Iowa when he asked a crowd, "Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?" Iowans didn't have a Whole Foods.
For that reason, it's probably just as well that the first lady didn't stop by the Endless Summer Harvest tent yesterday. The Virginia farm had a sign offering "tender baby arugula" -- hydroponically grown, pesticide free -- and $5 for four ounces, which is $20 a pound.
Obama, in her brief speech to the vendors and patrons, handled the affordability issue by pointing out that people who pay with food stamps would get double the coupon value at the market. Even then, though, it's hard to imagine somebody using food stamps to buy what the market offered: $19 bison steak from Gunpowder Bison, organic dandelion greens for $12 per pound from Blueberry Hill Vegetables, the Piedmont Reserve cheese from Everson Dairy at $29 a pound. Rounding out the potential shopping cart: $4 for a piece of "walnut dacquoise" from the Praline Bakery, $9 for a jumbo crab cake at Chris's Marketplace, $8 for a loaf of cranberry-walnut bread and $32 for a bolt of yarn.
The first lady said the market would particularly appeal to federal employees in nearby buildings to "pick up some good stuff for dinner." Yet even they might think twice about spending $3 for a pint of potatoes when potatoes are on sale for 40 cents a pound at Giant. They could get nearly five dozen eggs at Giant for the $5 Obama spent for her dozen.
But whatever the socioeconomics, there can be no doubt that Obama brought some serious attention to her cause. Hundreds of people crowded the market entrance on I Street as police directed pedestrians to alternative subway entrances. Hundreds braved a light rain and gave a hearty cheer when Obama and her entourage took the stage. "I can't imagine there's been a day in the history of our country when people have been more excited about farmers markets," Mayor Adrian Fenty, Obama's warm-up act, told the crowd.
The first lady, in gray slacks and blue sweater, marveled that the people were "so pumped up" despite the rain. "I have never seen so many people so excited about fruits and vegetables!" she said. (Must be the tender baby arugula.)
She spoke of the global reach of her cause: "The first thing world leaders, prime ministers, kings, queens ask me about is the White House garden. And then they ask about Bo."
She spoke of the fuel fed to the world's most powerful man: "I've learned that when my family eats fresh food, healthy food, that it really affects how we feel, how we get through the day . . . whether there's a Cabinet meeting or whether we're just walking the dog."
And she spoke of her own culinary efforts: "There are times when putting together a healthy meal is harder than you might imagine."
Particularly when it involves a soundstage, an interpreter for the deaf, three TV satellite trucks and the closing of part of downtown Washington.
She's no different than any other First Lady.
You can interpret this article many ways, but I see it as a way to promote healthy foods instead of the pesticide-laced products that are in every grocery store around the country. As for the excesses, that goes with being in the White House. Laura Bush did the exact same kinds of things.
I'm so tired of the media going ga ga over every little thing the Obamas do.
I was actually upset at the fact that Michelle Obama wore this to the recent Medal of Honor ceremony.
IMO this was very disrespectful. The fact that she is so concerned with fashion and flash, especially at such an event, is completely disgusting.
And yes, it was disgusting.
EDIT: Let me add that I don't view this as something "little." I see it as a reflection of her character.
As a Marine, and a combat veteran, I complained (in the political section of a forum) that she wore such an outfit to a Medal of Honor ceremony. It demonstrates that the woman blatantly placed her priority of being fashionable over paying proper respect to a deceased recipient of the Medal of Honor. IMO, that is not a trivial matter.
I don't expect you to see this as I do; however, there is no need to make this personal. My experience with this forum leads me to believe you're an intelligent man, and I respect that. We may not see eye to eye on this, but let's just leave it at that.
Agree to disagree...
EDIT: I'll admit that I actually laughed a little when I looked at my original post from your point of view. I understand where you're coming from, but it seemed as though you had some ulterior motive when you commented on my post.
For what it's worth I think you deserve a purple-heart for the sand you obviously got in your vagina while watching the Medal of Honor ceremony on Fox.
As I explained, my complaint was not about fashion itself. The display of disrespect (whether intentional or unintentional) at a posthumous Medal of Honor ceremony, and the biased media were the topics of the original post. The fact that the source of disrespect was Michelle Obama's dress is irrelevant.
You're either having trouble with comprehension, or purposely taking things out of context.
What should she have worn? Hmmm...Perhaps something more formal. The other attendees seemed to understand. I suppose she's special. Maybe she didn't get the memo? A short, low cut, eccentric dress lacking sleeves was probably not the best choice. I suppose a bikini would have also been acceptable?
I have discussed this same matter with plenty of other veterans, and most of them have been equally disgusted.
And yes, I acknowledged that I actually laughed a bit when I put the shoe on the other foot and examined my first post. The humor actually arises when you fail to read the entire post and/or take things out of context. You seem to be good at that.
Don't worry, I don't expect you to understand, mate.
I really don't care about networks or party affiliation. I watched the ceremony out of respect. Don't worry, I don't expect you to understand that, either.
Speaking of irony, it's funny that so much sand made its way in to your vagina when you read my post.
I agree with Simmons, but in general this thread has turned for the worst, and stupid.
Remember why you started.
Happy to agree to disagree with you simmons.
In my experience with the (British & Australian) military myself nor anyone else on our team would've had issue with Obama's dress - to be frank I couldn't care less. I'd have seen the media coverage which focused on it as being the thing that was disrespectful.
Perhaps it's an American thing and I won't be able to comprehend it (Though the fact that only "most" of the veterans you've spoken to were disgusted says maybe not) but I'd appreciate it if you dropped the pretense of being the only guy in the discussion with military experience. I do however see the fashion/Obamamania arguement around an event like this as taking away from the point of the ceremony itself and as such it's not too long a bow to draw to say that the discussion the media has perpetuated around this issue is the disrespectful thing and the dress has exactly FA to do with it.
Would be interested to hear what some other military guys from the US thought on the issue.
I think half the problem with the media in America is that broadly speaking it seems to be extremely partisan in nature. It's hard to get any balanced coverage on anything in the US anymore. It's either one side of the fence or it's the other. Therefore I think the assertion that the coverage of Obama has been roundly positive isn't necessarily true unless you're talking about the international media.
I think the only one who consistently makes any sense in the US media is John Stewart, and that's scary.
I respect your experience as well.
Honestly, I'm pretty tired of listening to politicians in general. I think some serious changes need to take place within our government.
As for the news coverage lacking balance, I agree with you.
Group hug?
I agreee with Simmons' POV on the subject. I think the media has ran so much on her fashion that when a situation happens that would usually warrant a subtle dress code, she'll still wear something flashy to keep the coverage coming to show her as a 'young, tone and fashionable woman.
It was inappropriate attire for a MoH ceremony. Not going to lose any sleep over the situation but it is what it is.
Kale? Yuck - may as well boil toenails and calluses for soup.
As for the dress - as a retired mil guy - I'll say its probably not appropriate, but I wouldn't have complained as it is the type of choice/behavior that I expect from the elitists in Washington.
LOL - nothing racist about it. Don't like 99% of the morons in DC, white, brown, yellow, black - mostly all tools. (Yes I know it was sarcasm.....LOL).
There are alot of organic choices I'd pick before Kale. But again - I grow food in my back yard too, tomatos, radishes, spinach, limes, oranges, carrots. (Limes are for beer.) :-9

I, for one, welcome our new iphone botnet overlords!
Apple are brown hatters, not black.
Good one. Never heard that before.
Does that mean if we go to the "wrong" web site we can enable Wi-Fi tethering without have to pay extra?
Only if you want to risk losing your service. Tethering without a tethering plan is a violation of AT&T's terms of use. It seems to me that it would be pretty easy to detect. For instance, they could check your browser agent information when you make HTTP requests. They could also look for connections over known ports that would imply you're not on a phone (such as a WoW connection). It seems there are several ways AT&T could spot that you're using a tethered connection without paying for it. So eve
imply you're not on a phone
exactly, imply. If your allowed to install apps on your phone, everything you point out is possibly a new app that AT&T doesn't know about, and would be a pain if AT&T's permission were required to install/run each new type of app. Granted, for the I-Phone crowd, requiring permission to install/use a app isn't uncharted territory. but for the rest of the smart phones, this wouldn't be very nice.
or, you know, you could have some balls and use the bandwidth you pay for $30 a month in any way you want until they tell you otherwise
Well, you're also being a bit misleading. The exploit is to remotely cause unauthorized code to run. What is most misleading about this is that it requires the phone to be jailbroken. It won't work on an OOTB iPhone.
But Miller found more than one instance in which Apple failed to prevent unauthorized data from executing. This means that a program can be loaded into memory as a nonexecutable block of data, after which the attacker can essentially flip a programmatic switch and make the data executable.
The code does not need to be installed, merely downloaded and loaded into memory. The article does not say whether or not they found a remote exploit to make the data executable. Perhaps it is presumed that one will be found.
I assumed that when I got to the bit that said "kdawson".
Perhaps, but this activity is the kind of thing Apple used as reason to not allow users their software freedom with their own phone. Around the time of the iPhone's introduction Steve Jobs told Newsweek [msn.com]:
"You don't want your phone to be an open platform," meaning that anyone can write applications for it and potentially gum up the provider's network, says Jobs. "You need it to work when you need it to work. Cingular doesn't want to see their West Coast network go down because some application messed up."
To this date, I cannot think of any cell phone viruses that have existed and spread. I would assume that is because pretty much every cell phone is different, and writing a virus for one specific phone would be a waste of time, since it would represent only a fraction of a percent of the user base. (Usually, when you write a virus, you want it to spread as far and wide as possible, right?) However, with the popularity of the iPhone, I could see a malicious person writing a virus that would infect all of the Apple phones out there, since there are a lot of iPhones on the networks.
Could this crack be used for that? If so, are we going to see an antivirus program on the next iteration of the iPhone?
Might this be the dawn of the first "apple virus" that all Mac users claim will never happen?
When I was in high school many eons ago. The game we would play is how many viri can you get on 1 floppy. We did this on macs. I had a record of 8
Are the newer macs more impervious? Perhaps. But I would venture to say MS has a leg up on them here in that they live it and breath it every day. To Apple it is an abstract thing just due to simple market share.
But a botnet of 300k in remote devices that can CALL people that would be very attractive to a spammer. The payload being a recorded message. T
"To Apple it is an abstract thing just due to simple market share."
I see how you sneaked that one in there, a sweeping statement that it is part of a much larger debate about the non-prevalence of viruses on Macs.
Much as no-one wants a diversion from the main thrust of this topic, you cannot be allowed to sneak away with such a fallacious and ill-considered statement.
Might this be the dawn of the first "apple virus" that all Mac users claim will never happen?
I know you put the smiley there, but still: who are "all" of these Mac users? I have OS X at home (Unix admin for $WORK), and I partly run OS X because there is currently no malware for it. Just as I prefer Unix for servers as they're a small target as well--in general I avoid Windows whenever I can.
There actually were viruses for Mac OS in the pre-X (10) days, but no one's bothered to really try since the current Unix-based OS came out.
Hopefully Apple will put in measures like ASLR, or SELinux-like protect
To this date, I cannot think of any cell phone viruses that have existed and spread.
Windows Mobile ?
...application development is much more stringent
Not only is it more stringent, but a helluva lot more frustrating in my opinion, because of XCode, IB, and Objective-C. Anyone have any insight into why they chose that language??
Not sure why this was modded funny, since there is a huge winmo population of phones... granted across different manufacturers, but the underlying code is the same.
Then, in addition to WinMo, there is Symbian, aren't all nokias symbian based.. thats millions of phones...
Funny because they were referring to Windows Mobile as the virus, not an OS susceptible to them . . .
Sorry, had not had my caffeine yet, no sense of humour till after.
Well, Nokia is the Microsoft of the mobile industry. There was a whole range of SMS viruses for Nokia some five years back, I think they finally started to validate the SMS'es better now.
Oh, they exist. You're right that they're not as widespread as regular ones, since the hardware and software world is much more diverse. But, they are there. For example, there was a talk at blackhat 2007 about them (slides [blackhat.com]). One interesting side part of that talk for me was the question of how to research a cell phone virus without risking infecting the production network. (The answer: one hell of a Farraday cage around the lab.)
What "lot" of iPhones are you talking about? Here in Germany, the iPhone is one of the rarest phones on the market. Because it's double the price of the best Nokia, and has only half the features. And I bet this will be the case for most of the world.
If you want to get a virus going, make it run on Symbian. Or with some luck, you can use J2ME, which pretty much every phone supports, but which is a bit hard to get to do something useful (because of the additional VM/Sandbox).
If you want to get a virus going, make it run on Symbian.
On ancient Symbian versions, perhaps. After S60v3 they added that darn platform security that won't even let you execute your own code, let alone third-party viruses.
Pirates periodically find cracks, but they tend to be model- and firmware version- specific.
Thing is, non smartphones in Europe have more features than the iPhone. Its just that the interface sucks on most of these phones.
I am going to get the iPhone because I want a device with a good user interface (currently I don't use the mp3 playback on the my phone, mostly because it requires a dock connector on the headphone), I find that the new iPhone has finally a decent camera in it.
Although the user interface of the camera on my current phone (sony ericson) is the best, bar none: slide open, press the
Here in San Francisco, I am pretty sure everyone and their mother has an iPhone. It feels like a novelty to see another phone.
It might be more prudent to fix the unsigned code execution vulnerability first, but phone antivirus is a good idea and would be innovative.
I run the VNC server on my phone (veency) and I constantly get requests to connect while I am on the AT&T network.
Just to illustrate your point
Viruses spread not because a computer can be broken into, but because a computer can be broken into AND because it can broadcast the virus to other computers.
That's why there were no wild Palm OS viruses even when Palm had 80% of the market for years, because the only way to transfer the infection from one Palm to another was for the owner of the infected Palm and the target to deliberately beam a file from one to another.
For cellphones, there's even fewer opportunities for infection, because iPhone owners
Active worms or passive viruses, they still need an infection vector. Without traffic between phones to piggyback on, there's no vector, and no propagation of the virus.
Is there any irony in that some early Apple folks started out phone phreaking?
They went from blue boxes to beige boxes to white boxes. Now the white boxes themselves are getting blue-boxed
That is, play the right piece of software at 2600 Hz into the iPhone microphone and you can use it to access the whole network instead of Apple and AT&T's walled garden.
Only this time, the wall is on your phone and not the network.
Well, it's all just chance calculation. Let's say that 1 million iPhones/iPod Touches were sold. Let us then assume that 0.5 percent of the people that buy an iPhone are Evil Haxx0rz and want to hack their new phone. I guess that no more that a half percent of *that* group succeed in finding a way to execute arbitrary code.
One of the 25 is holding his speech at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas.
You're not making any sense.
Somebody wanting to mess with their own phone is not an "Evil Haxx0r". Nor they need this, since they can jailbreak it already.
What this gives to a real "Evil Haxx0r" is the ability to mess with your phone. And though as you point out the amount of people with the ability to do such things is small, it can also be quite profitable, and programs that make it easy can be made, which will let every script kiddie on the planet exploit your phone with one click.
TFA makes it sound like there have never been any remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in the iPhone before. There have been dozens of exploitable bugs in Webkit, for example. The fact that no phones were cracked at Pwn2Own didn't prove they weren't crackable.
As I recall, Microsoft used to have an api call called PrestocChangeo or some such that did this. Probably in Win16. Always thought that changing a chunk of data into executable code was a bad idea. I would have thought such nonsense was a thing of the past but who knows, maybe that same or similar api still exists. (I'm an old guy and I don't get down to the system level calls much anymore, someone younger will need to look.)
Would those additional controls mitigate the exposure here to the non-sensitive user space?
It wouldn't be much of a 'hack' unless it included privilege escalation.
Simply get your application published and give people some incentive to download it (for free). Once your intended target or target quota has installed download a "media file" that's actually the malicious binary. Then it's just a matter of smashing your own application's stack to run the code.
I haven't done the legwork but it appears that an attack vector exists via the App Store. Applications allow downloading of data files (podcasts, for example).
Simply get your application published and give people some incentive to download it (for free). Once your intended target or target quota has installed download a "media file" that's actually the malicious binary. Then it's just a matter of smashing your own application's stack to run the code.
The "simply get your application published" bit, though not impossible to avoid, would leavea a trail leading all the way up to you.
You'd get more satisfaction out of creating a Windows virus.
Details of the exploit will be presented next month...

DJ Brett Henrichsen has a Sand Blast Weekend!
It's becoming the Jersey Shore's, if not the entire northeast coast's, most anticipated beach party of the summer season. Sand Blast Weekend, the wave-riding, sun-soaked, pool party, dance floor extravaganza that is rapidly joining Asbury Park's calendar of "must attend" music festivals is back...and yes - it's bigger and better than ever!
The hottest beach bodies will be converging for Sand Blast Weekend when it takes over the most popular seaside community on the fabled New Jersey coast. July 20 - 22 all the boys (and girls) will be staking claims on Asbury Park. Little more than a decade ago the growing township began to experience a glowing renaissance, drawing the attention of the LGBT community who sought to revitalize the area and turn Asbury Park into the newest gay summer retreat.
Sand Blast Weekend, produced by long-standing Asbury Park resident Brad Hurtado has consistently demonstrated the local community's dedication to not only welcoming the diversity of the changing neighborhood landscape, but also providing one of the year's most magnificently attended parties of the music festival (or circuit party) summer season. Sand Blast Weekend is three days of parties with the Atlantic Ocean for a backdrop.
Summer's Master-Beach Blast!
Thousands descend on Asbury Park for dance parties on the legendary Asbury Park Convention Hall, pool parties hosted at the classically renovated Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel, artful walks along the historic downtown main street, and at the center of it all is the main event, Sand Blast Beach Party.
The crowning jewel of the Sand Blast Weekend of festivities will be this year even more special with the addition of super-star, mix-maestro DJ Brett Henrichsen, who is continuing to spread his Masterbeat brand to the northeast headlining the biggest and best beach party of the year.
Sand Blast's event producer Brad Hurtado courted the West Coast's most notable DJ to play the entire Beach Party set and make his Asbury Park debut. "When Brad approached me about Sand Blast, I knew I wanted to do the Beach Party, and that I wanted to play the entire set," Henrichsen told us. "I wanted to get back to the old days of one DJ playing an entire party. I really enjoy playing from start to finish because you can really take the party on a musical journey."
Anyone who is familiar with DJ Brett Henrichsen and his infamously popular Masterbeat events, knows that the mix-master takes to his turntables with a serious vengeance. "I've been playing a lot internationally and look forward to bringing that sound to Sand Blast - it will be very appropriate for the beach party." No stranger to the outside beach party format, Henrichsen has played Fire Island's Ascension and Palm Spring's White Party. "Some of my favorite parties to play are the outside day events."
You Can't Beat This
This year Henrichsen added Los Angeles Pride to Masterbeat's busy calendar of music festivals and took over Hollywood's Universal Studios, and is continuing to grow events around the country, making Sand Blast a luxury stop apart from his usual circuit tour.
"I've actually never been to Asbury Park," Henrichsen admits, "but am very excited for my first time. I'm told there will be some hotties there - I will be keeping my eye out!" He'll also be keeping his ear close to the speakers, as Henrichsen is promising Sand Blast Beach Party revelers a party for the record books. "It will be a great musical journey," and a sun-drenched event you won't want to miss.
Grab your sun block and prep for your road trip! Asbury Park on the Jersey Shore is calling and this Sand Blast Weekend will prove itself masterfully beat heavy at the skillful hands of DJ Brett Henrichsen! The beach party weekend begins July 20, three hot days and nights of the most exciting fun in the sun on the east coast.

May have to treat myself to an early Christmas present. EE should be very proud of the reputation they've built.
I ordered my son one of the ready to ship topquilts last night. I was amazed at how fast I received the confirmation and shipping notice last night. I noticed the product description lists a couple of different type of pad straps. Is it obvious the way the different types are used? Anyone know of any videos on youtube showing the use? I searched and found videos of people describing how great the quilts are, but I couldn't find anything showing the straps.
Excellent products. I own 2 of the RevX TQs.
I have the RevX 20 myself and love it. I'm really curious about the new Enigma line. Does anybody have any info on how they are?
Love my 10 degree rev x. Considering going ahead and getting a 40 degree rev x.
Question for any current owners...how does the temp rating compare the the actual warmth in said temp?
Would you go for a lower rated quilt or are they generally pretty accurate?
Just placed my order for the ProdigyX 40

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Four members of the University of Delaware men's soccer team earned more post-season accolades as they were named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/Continental Tire All-South Atlantic Region Team.
Junior goalkeeper Borja Barbero and freshman forward Guillermo Delgado were named to the NSCAA All-Region first team while senior midfielder Vincent Mediate and junior defender Ignacio Martín earned third team honors.
"Whatever accolades come the way of these young men, they most definitely deserve," said Delaware head coach Ian Hennessy. Hennessy himself was recently named the NSCAA South Atlantic Coach of the Year.
The NSCAA, which is the world's largest soccer coaches' organization, is a non-profit organization with a mission to educate coaches, encourage excellence and serve the soccer community. It is the world's largest soccer coaches' organization with members at every level of the game. The membership is primarily made up of coaches, but also includes administrators, referees and others in the soccer industry. The NSCAA provides its members ways to enhance the game of soccer by providing a national education program, interaction and networking opportunities, and membership benefits.
Barbero, a 2013 season transfer from Iona College, made an immediate impact on the Blue Hen defensive unit. The junior became the first goalkeeper in Delaware history to earn All-Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) First Team honors this past season. Barbero played 1,817:27 minutes in goal, setting a new single season record for the Blue Hens. Barbero stopped a league-high 70 shots, while only allowing 25 goals and registering five shutouts.
Delgado, who set new Delaware program records for goals (15) and points (35) by a freshman in a single season along with the record for consecutive games scoring a goal (5), earns yet another post-season honor. In November, Delgado was named CAA Rookie of the Year and was an All-CAA First Team and All-Rookie Team selection. The freshman finished the 2013 season leading the Blue Hens and CAA in goals, points and game-winning goals. On the national scene, Delgado is the only freshman that ranks in the NCAA top-five in goals and points.
Mediate, a highly decorated senior, earns the first NSCAA All-Region honor of his career. The Southlake, Tex. Native was as the heart and soul of the Blue Hen midfield this season. The senior scored one goal and added two assists for Delaware this season. Mediate played in 76 career games for the Hens breaking the program record for career games played.
Martín, who earned the first All-CAA honor of his career this season, also earns his first NSCAA All-Region honor as a Blue Hen. Martín started in 19 of Delaware's 20 game-season as defense. Martín aided the Blue Hen defense that allowed only 100 shots on goal this season compared to the Delaware offense's 159 SOG.
Delaware led all CAA teams in placing four student-athletes on the All-South Atlantic Region team. Barbero, Delgado, Mediate and Martín were four of 12 student-athletes who represented the CAA on the All-Region team. Simon Cox of Northeastern and Will Smith of William & Mary were members of the first team while Jacob VanCompernolle of UNCW, Dante Marini of Northeaster, Kevvin Tribbet of Drexel and Chris Griebsch were named the All-Region second team. Tal Bublil and Nathan Page represent Drexel on the third team.
"Our region includes Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) teams, two of which (Maryland and Virginia) are in the Final Four of the NCAA College Cup this weekend," said Hennessy. "It is arguably the toughest region in the nation and to have four honorees is quite the honor for our team and our University."
NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division I Men's Soccer All-Mid-Atlantic Region Team:
First Team
GK – Borja Barbero, Jr. (Delaware); D – Simon Cox, Jr. (Northeastern); D – Will Smith, Sr. (William & Mary); D – Grant Van De Casteele, Sr. (Notre Dame); M – Nick Besler, Jr. (Notre Dame); M – Eric Bird, Jr. (Virginia); M – Justin Portillo, Sr. (Coastal Carolina); M – Ribeiro Pedro, Sr. (Coastal Carolina); F – Guillermo Delgado, Fr.

Leicester claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over fellow strugglers Preston in a forgettable npower Championship clash at the Walkers Stadium.
An entertaining opening quarter with plenty of goalscoring chances was as good as it got for the 21,212 in attendance as the encounter descended into a lacklustre affair.
If one team deserved to take the spoils though it was Leicester and they did so courtesy of Paul Gallagher's well-taken 36th-minute finish, the midfielder proving the difference against the team he spent four months on loan with in 2007.
It never promised to be a classic between two sides struggling at the wrong end of the table and with the two worst defensive records in the second tier.
And, crucially, it was Leicester who had their first clean sheet in 15 games to thank for all three points, although former centre-back Wayne Brown almost snatched a point for North End when his injury-time header drifted just inches wide.
Foxes boss Sven-Goran Eriksson made seven changes to the side which started Tuesday`s 4-1 Carling Cup defeat to West Brom, reverting to his strongest line-up.
Darren Ferguson, in contrast, made just one switch from the line-up which saw off Crystal Palace 4-3 last weekend, Adam Barton coming in for the suspended Jon Parkin.
And it was the 19-year-old midfielder who should have broken the deadlock with just 25 seconds on the clock but he could only curl wide from 12 yards.
But he was not the only guilty party as the opening 20 minutes somehow passed by goalless.
Matchwinner Gallagher saw his blistering 30-yard drive tipped over by Andy Lonergan before Martyn Waghorn sliced wide for the hosts when in a really good position.
Barton then had another opportunity to open the scoring but saw his header pushed for a corner by Chris Weale, who should have been made to work harder.
Yet, as entertaining as the first quarter was, the following 15 minutes were beyond pedestrian - with North End almost completely stepping off the gas.
And it was Gallagher`s perfectly-timed strike which woke the home fans from their slumber, the former Blackburn man receiving a neat pass from Yuki Abe before finding the bottom corner with a left-footed strike from 12 yards.
Leicester goalkeeper Weale did his best to hand North End an equaliser at the end of the first half with a sliced clearance which fell to Barton, who saw his goalbound effort blocked.
The second half continued in dull fashion and failed to get any better.
Preston defender Brown was booed at every opportunity on his return to the Walkers Stadium following his summer exit by mutual consent after a training ground bust-up, and his 67th-minute booking was no exception.
But a complete lack of goalmouth action after the break, with not one single chance of note, meant the final whistle could not come quick enough.
Yet it was Brown who came within a whisker of providing a dramatic conclusion when his 94th-minute header drifted just wide.

We here in the IT community are clearly concerned about our weight. More specifically, we're concerned about our weight going up and up like a growth chart for a high-transaction OTLP database. (SQL tie-in for ya, there.)
Starting to move…
We're starting to do something about it. I know people in the SQL community on no-carb diets, healthy eating plans, couch-to-5k, 10k and marathon training, and more. We have apps and tricks, support groups and blog parties. And now, coincidentally, we have the general #20PoundsBeforeTheSummit commitment, and the #Gethawt Game On! competition.
The #20PoundsBeforeTheSummit hashtag is, I think, each individual's online commitment to do what it takes to lose 20# pre-November. The GetHawt Game On! competition is a way to jump-start that weight loss, and have some big fun at the same time. Starting next week, we'll team up, track points, lose weight, and talk ungodly amounts of smack about the opposing teams.
Playing the Game
There's a $25 buy-in, and teams are limited to 2-4 members, so you also have the chance to win some serious bank…you know, as serious as a 4-week online challenge can get. (A 2-man team wins from a pool of 16 players? That's $200 per winning player.)
So consider this your invitation, your kick in the ass, your moment of inspiration to get off the couch and get going. Forget the excuses and all the reasons you have NOT to play. Why not just do it and have fun? At the absolute worst, you'll lose $25 and make steady improvements on your own well-being.
Meet me on Google+ (search for the Jennifer McCown with the email@example.com email) at 12pm CST today, June 26 (or Friday June 29) to get some questions answered and get fired up.
And some notes…
- Don't want to lose weight? Set some other fitness goal! We're accommodating.
- No partners? No worries, we'll pair you up.
- No, I'm not making one single dime off of this. ALL of the buy-in pot goes to the winners.
- Yes, this is based largely off the honor system. There's no other way to do it, what with us all being geographically dispersed. I'm still putting in my $25.
Happy days,

Atlantic City's Poor Endure Sandy Quietly, Humbly
Low-income residents of Atlantic City were hit hard by Superstorm Sandy, and many lost all they had.
More than two weeks later, many of the multibillion-dollar gambling resort's poorest residents are enduring hardships like no heat or hot water, ruined clothing and lost possessions with quiet acceptance.
Rather than complaining about what they don't have, many say they're grateful for what still remains.
"It's a blessing," can be heard over and over in storm-tossed neighborhoods.
The Rev. Collins Days, of Second Baptist Church, says many of Atlantic City's poor are used to hard times. Census figures show one in four of the city's residents lives in poverty.
They struggle as the 12 casinos came through the storm unscathed, and try to lure back gamblers.

The Cullen Girl
Meeting and Mixing everything up?I walked into the room, the air was filled with freshly cut grass and the smell of the woods. It seemed amazing to be in a home where I can be loved and possibly accepted. Both Emmett-I guess that's his name, I haven't fully memorized their faces, so let's call the well built one that looks like a teddy bear that-and Jasper, I guessed it was Jasper, the way his face looked made him look like a Jasper. Edward, I think that's the other guy's name is, walked out quickly not even bothering to look at me. His bronze hair stood up as he caught my smell. He stood at possibly a few feet tall, possibly around 6'1.
I couldn't take my eyes off of them, they were inhumanely beautiful. But, weirdly enough, they looked nothing alike.
The room was covered in lilac wall paper, hammering in with portraits of flowers. Delicate like roses had outsmarted the rest of them by standing out the most amongst them all. There was also wooden floors below my now naked feet, nothing was on them except for socks. The bed had resembled one of those from the Victorian times. The comforter was as soft as a feather and as warm as a bowl of soup. Yes, very weird saying… but, I usually always describe things in that kind of way.
I looked towards the window. Ageless trees had blocked view of the condensing clouds that were now overhead. Rain had hit the glass window lightly. I wanted to lose myself in a daydream at that very moment. I imagined myself running into the forest, deeply into the heart of the woods. Where no could find me. I could only find myself there and no one else.
It then fled as soon as I heard a slight knock at the door.
"Well, I see you are calmly enjoying yourself." I turned to see a young girl, about the age of thirteen, walk in. She had the same bronze hair as the guy I figured was named Edward, and the beautiful woman, Bella? Yeah, let's call her that, She also had a mixture of Bella in her. Chocolate brown eyes that were amazingly mysterious and beautiful.
"Yeah, I am… so, you're Renesmee?"
"Yes… and you're Milla… now that we got that out of the way, tell me about yourself." She sat down on my bed, patting the spot next to her for me to sit. I slowly walked over and sat next to her.
"Well, I've been moved from family to family after running away from each of them. But, what some of them don't know is… the second to last family I had began to abuse me, they neglected and domestically abused me. I couldn't bare to be there…. So I…"
"Ran away," she looked at the ground as she finished the sentence. I nodded. For a while we sat there in silence.
"So, I guess it's time for dinner." She sighed, she got up and left the room, I silently followed, not bothering to let her know I'm there.
Everyone was sitting at the table, Nessie, I assumed I should call her that besides Renesmee. What a mouthful it was, sat at the nearest chair right by a handsome guy. He, like all the others, was built, he had short hair and smile that was to die for, his eyes were also the type where you can get lost in. I hid behind the banister, brushing up against the stands of the staircase.
"So, where is she?" The tall man asked, holding onto Renesmee's hand.
"She should be down in a few minutes. I was just up there, and she seems even more quieter than me, and I'm a-" She was cut off by a hand hitting the table. They turned, the tall guy's nostrils flared. He gazed at me, a sly smile appearing on his face. The now golden brown eyes were all staring as the guy looked to the top of the banister.
"So, you're her?"
"I'm who?" I asked, quickly walking down the stairs and towards the others, keeping a short distance between us.
"You're Milla?"
"Milly for long ways."
They all smiled, I could sense that it was fake.
"Milla, food is ready." A woman, looked to be around thirty five, called to me, I guessed Esme. I walked over, each of them moving to give me a way to walk to an open chair. I sat there, dazing in thought as I began to pick at the spaghetti that was still sitting on my plate, untouched.
"Sweetie," Esme began, sitting at the chair besides me and placing a delicate finger on my hand. "I know you've been through a lot… but, please try and eat." She smiled happily. I smiled back, but deep down inside it wasn't a smile, it was fear.

Hmmhmmhmm. I know this is Twilight fanfiction, and I generally dispporve of fanfiction. It tends to be sloppy, and done in an hour over a wave of enthusiasm.
But, I do admit, the first page is done okay. No, I'm sorry to say I can't tell you that its good, and it does need improvement, but that's why I review, hmm?
First off, your usign first person narrative because Stephanie Meyer did it, and you want to be a character in the story. That is the weakness of all... (more »)

having written both my stories from multiple points of view, i suggest you refrain from explicitly saying things like:
"From Alice's point of view."
Instead try to make it clear through thoughts, conversation, surroundings, and the characters actions who is currently holding the point of view.
Just some friendly advice. :)

Well, I think I'd better tell you before that sometimes I don't understand because my "mother language" isn't English, if not Spanish. So I'll read it again more carefully and try to understand. ;)
But I really love this book!

David Hall: The 1934 is easy to obtain in circulated grades, as all all non-variety 1934 to 1928 Buffalo nickels. In mint state condition, the 1934 is much rarer than the other Philadelphia Mint isues of the 1930s. It's rarity is more like the P Mints of the 1920s. Gems are available and they are usually very well struck with the deep frosty type luster.

Cote d'Ivoire: Refugee Mother Fears For Husband And Home
When fighting broke out in Cote d'Ivoire after contested presidential elections, Nadine, a pregnant mother of three, fled to Liberia. But her husband stayed behind to protect their home. She hasn't heard from him since. As she waits for news and a signal they can return home, Nadine and her kids are getting by on food aid.
by Alexandre Brecher
"We were so afraid it would turn into another civil war," said Nadine who is pregnant with her fourth child. "There was so much violence against women in the last war that we had to leave. We couldn't risk it."
But Nadine's husband stayed behind, determined that his family would have a home to come back to after things calmed down. That was two months ago and Nadine hasn't heard from him since.
Helping those in need
- Recent fighting in Cote d'Ivoire has resulted in over 32,000 refugees fleeing into Liberia.
- Local rice prices in Liberia have increased by 25-50 per cent since the crisis began.
- WFP has launched an emergency operation to more than 40,000 families affected by the conflict on both sides of the border.
Not alone
"I'm not alone. A lot of women are in my same situation," said Nadine, who is one of over 32,000 Ivorian refugees who have come to Liberia in search of safe haven. Most of them are women and children who crossed the border after a dangerous and exhausting trek.
Like Nadine, many of them arrived in Liberia's Nimba county, a prosperous farming community which is more than able to feed itself. But families there are unable to bear the burden of such a large influx of refugees.
Nadine and her children were among those fortunate enough to find shelter with a host family, but they are still dependent on assistance agencies like WFP to meet their material needs.
Malnutrition rates are generally higher in Cote d'Ivoire than they are in Liberia. According to aid workers, many of the refugees were undernourished to begin with and arrived across the border without having eaten for days.
Nutritional support
To help them, WFP is providing refugees with specialised rations like High Energy Biscuits (HEBs), which require no preparation and require all of the vitamins and nutrients that a person needs to be healthy.
In addition, WFP-supported clinics are providing Nadine and her children with the nutritional support they need to be healthy.
"Since we arrived, we've never been without the basics we need to survive," says Nadine. "We're grateful for that, but what we really want is to be able to go home."

Morning Five: 09.14.11 EditionPosted by nvr1983 on September 14th, 2011
- The NCAA has been getting a lot of criticism lately. Ok, they always get a lot of criticism. Despite what some people thinks sometimes the NCAA gets things right. The case of Lionel Gomis is one example of that. Gomis, who is starting his freshman year at Siena, grew up in Senegal moving from house to house after his mother died when he was 14 and unable to go to school for two years due to financial hardship before he was brought to the US as sports development program enrolling in a school in the United States. Gomis was able to overcome his rough beginnings and receive a scholarship at Siena. However, a NCAA rule that was recently adopted that stated a student-athlete had to complete his or her core curriculum in a five-year period. Due to the two years that Gomis was not in school in Senegal he failed to meet these requirements so the NCAA said that he would have his eligibility reduced by three years (two years for the time he was not in school in Senegal and one year when he came to the United States and had to be reclassified due to his limited English proficiency). If the decision was upheld, Gomis would have only been able to play one year of college basketball. However, the NCAA ruled yesterday that Gomis would get two years of eligibility back for the time he missed in Senegal although they were sticking with their earlier ruling regarding his reclassification so as of right now he would not be eligible to play until next season. Siena is appealing that part of the ruling, but it looks like the NCAA may have gotten one right (at least partially)
- Last week, Billy Donovan welcomed Erik Murphy back to the Florida basketball team without having to miss any playing time after his involvement in an incident in April where he was arrested with two others (Cody Larson and team manager Josh Adel) for breaking into a car outside a bar after getting into an argument with staff about a lost wallet. Larson's status is a little less certain as he was previously arrested for sharing hydrocodone pills (his account of the story). Larson appears to have gotten a bit of good news as he has avoided any jail time for now after accepting a plea agreement of 200 hours of community service, submitting to a substance abuse evaluation and potential treatment, paying the victim $240 and writing him a letter of apology, paying $200 for costs related to the case, serving one year of supervised probation, and not consuming any alcohol or other controlled substances during that year. The next step is whether or not the agreement will affect his previous case in South Dakota. If a court there decides that it does, Larson may face additional penalties including potential jail time as a condition of his suspended sentence in his home state. Neither UF nor Donovan have released a statement on Larson yet.
- Yesterday, we mentioned that the proposal to name the court after Gary Williams at the Comcast Center was facing significant resistance. It looks like it wasn't that significant as Maryland announced yesterday that it was going to name the court after Williams. We all know what Williams has accomplished and his resume at Maryland stacks up well with any ACC coach of recent vintage outside of Mike Krzyzewski, Dean Smith, and Roy Williams. Even though naming the court after Williams will cost the school the potential revenue for naming rights for the court it does open up a myriad of advertising opportunities for antiperspirant deodorant.
- Normally, the hiring of a Division II coach without a major track record or a history of scandal wouldn't merit an inclusion in our exclusive Morning Five. However, when the coach is Mark Prosser, the son of the late Skip Prosser, it qualifies. Yesterday, Prosser was named head coach of Brevard College after working as an assistant at Wofford since 2008. For Prosser, who had spent five years as an assistant at Bucknell before going to Wofford, this will be his first college head coaching position. Prosser has a tough task ahead of him as Brevard went 13-14 last year and only his predecessor, Mike Jones, had spent more than four seasons as a head coach at the school.
- USC guard Jio Fontan underwent ACL surgery yesterday at a Los Angeles orthopedic center that deemed "successful" although we are not that certain about a claim this early well before many complications can occur. For his part, Fontan appeared upbeat heading into surgery and looking forward to rehab as he sent this tweet prior to his surgery and apparently responding to well-wishers after his surgery via his Twitter account. We wish Fontan the best in his rehab and hope to finally see him playing in a Trojan uniform in the near future.

Perrella Receives Men's Cross Country Award
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Junior Nathan Richards was elected by his teammates as captain for next year at the Bulldogs' annual cross country banquet on Tuesday. Senior Jeff Perrella also received the Mike Stanley-John Cleary Class of 1954 Men's Cross Country Award for the second year in a row.
Richards consistently ran in the Bulldogs' top seven this past season and has played a key role in post-season, coming in seventh for the team at Heptagonals Championships and third at NCAA Regionals. On the track, Richards has also excelled in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, scoring at outdoor Heptagonals last season and qualifying for IC4As last spring. Richards is a biology major in Timothy Dwight College.
Perrella received the Mike Stanley-John Cleary Class of 1954 Men's Cross Country Award, given to "the outstanding member of the Yale men's cross country team who excels in Dedication, Commitment, and Inspiration to the sport of cross country." Since transferring from the College of William and Mary to Yale in 2007, Perrella has made a huge impact on the Bulldogs. This season, Perrella earned both All-Ivy and All-East honors this and became the first Bulldog to qualify for the NCAA National Championships since 2004. Perrella is an Economics major in Saybrook College.
Richards and the rest of the Bulldogs will be back on the track at the College Invitational on Jan. 15 at Coxe Cage.

Quinn Cook hit a 15-foot floater with 29 seconds remaining and scored his team's final 8 points as No. 5 Duke held off a number of second-half charges from No. 2 Louisville to win the Battle 4 Atlantis title game in Paradise Island, Bahamas, Saturday night.

Chane Behanan hit a layup with 1:23 remaining to move Louisville to within 68-66, but Cook converted a difficult layup on the other end. Behanan missed one of two free throws on the next possession and Cook sank the floater and his final four throws to preserve the win.

Hi Everybody,
Weve just launched a new web control that might be of interest to some of
you here. Its called DbCombo, and its a combo box that is linked in real-time
to a database query. As you type, the combo box automatically matches your
text to entries in the database all the matching entries are displayed
below in a drop-down, and can be picked from.
The advantage is that the whole data list isnt delivered to the browser
(as with a normal select box) and so huge data lists can be picked from.
For example, on our site you can test DbCombo by choosing a word from a database
of 140,000 words. The component will automatically revert to non-real time
operation (postback) on older browsers that dont support the necessary scripting.
Please check it out at www.dbcombo.net. Let us know what you think!
Kind regards,

Story highlights
- Coy Mathis wins complaint under Colorado's Anti-Discrimination Act
- She was denied the use of the girls' restroom at her elementary school
- Coy was born a boy but identifies as a girl
- Ruling says district was "objectively and subjectively hostile"
A transgender first-grader who was born a boy but identifies as a girl has won the right to use the girls' restroom at her Colorado school.
The Colorado Rights Division ruled in favor of Coy Mathis in her fight against the Fountain-Fort Carson School District.
Coy's parents had taken her case to the commission after the district said she could no longer use the girls' bathroom at Eagleside Elementary. In issuing its decision, the state's rights division said keeping the ban in place "creates an environment that is objectively and subjectively hostile, intimidating or offensive."
The Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund praised the ruling that was filled under Colorado's Anti-Discrimination Act. Michael Silverman, the group's executive director, called the ruling "a high-water mark for transgender rights."
This is the first of it's kind ruling in the country regarding the rights of transgender students. No court, no tribunal has ever said what the Colorado Division of Civil Rights has said today which is that trangendered students must be treated equally. They specifically referenced the outmoded concept of separate but equal and told us that separate but equal is very rarely equal and it is certainly not equal in Coy's case.
Coy's mother, Kathryn Mathis, said she's pleased that Coy can return to school and put this behind her. The first-grader has been home schooled during the proceedings
"We're very thrilled that Coy is able to return to school and have the same rights that all the other girls had, that she should have had and was afforded by law to begin with. We're extremely happy that she's going to be treated equally and we thank the civil rights division for coming to this conclusion," Kathryn Mathis said. "We're very grateful to the voters of Colorado for putting its laws into place to begin with."
A girl's life
For most of the past year, Coy has dressed as a girl.
Coy's passport and state-issued identification recognize her as female.
Mathis said she got a call "out of the blue" from the school in December saying that Coy could use the boys' bathroom, gender-neutral faculty bathrooms or the nurse's bathroom, but not the girls' facilities.
The district "took into account not only Coy, but other students in the building, their parents and the future impact a boy with male genitals using a girls' bathroom would have as Coy grew older," a letter the family's attorney received in December said.
"However, I'm certain you can appreciate that, as Coy grows older and his male genitals develop along with the rest of his body, at least some parents and students are likely to become uncomfortable with his continued use of the girls' restroom."
CNN was unable to reach the school district early Monday for comment on the ruling. But in February, the district's attorney, W. Kelly Dude, said: "The district firmly believes it has acted reasonably and fairly with respect to this issue."
A little-studied group
Transgender children experience a disconnect between their sex, which is based on their anatomy, and their gender, which includes behaviors, roles and activities, experts say.
For the general public, transgender identity may be a new concept, though many might recall Chaz Bono, the child of entertainers Sonny and Cher. Born female, Bono underwent a transition in his 40s to become a man. He wrote in his book "Transition" that, even as a child, he had been "aware of a part of me that did not fit."
He appeared last year as a man on "Dancing with the Stars," in part, he said, to destigmatize being transgender.
Comprehensive data and studies about transgender children are rare. International studies have estimated that anywhere from 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 1,000 people are transgender.
Some children as young as age 3 show early signs of gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder, mental health experts who work with transgender children say.
These children are not intersex -- they do not have a physical disorder or malformation of their sexual organs. The gender issue exists in the brain, though experts do not agree on whether it's psychologically or physiologically based.
Many transgender people report feeling discomfort with their gender as early as they can remember.
Gender identity is often confused with sexual orientation. The difference is that "gender identity is who you are, and sexual orientation is who you want to have sex with," said Dr. Johanna Olson, a professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of Southern California, who treats transgender children.
Children around age 3 are probably not interested in sexual orientation, she said. But experts say some children who look like they will be transgender in early childhood turn out to be gay, lesbian or bisexual.
Differences in schools
School policies toward transgender students vary across the United States.
In New York, for example, the law says students can't be discriminated against on the basis of their gender identity.
But in Maine, a court ruled in November that a school district did not violate a transgender student's rights when she was told she couldn't use the girls' bathroom.
Dude, the Colorado school district's attorney, has said there is nothing in that state requiring public schools to permit transgender students to use restrooms intended for the gender with which they identify.
At the time, he argued that the Fountain-Fort Carson School District adheres to the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act in all respects: "Coy attends class as all other students, is permitted to wear girls' clothes and is referred to as the parents have requested."
On Monday, Silverman underscored what he described as the unfairness of Coy's situation.
"By denying Coy the right to use the little girls restroom like all the other little girls at school it had created an environment that was hostile, discriminatory and unsafe. Coy was treated in what was referred to as an exceptional way, which limited her educational opportunities. In the end, we've been saying from the start, that Coy wants the same dignity, respect and opportunity, and deserves that, as every other student in Colorado. The state of Colorado has now said that's exactly what she deserves," Silverman said.

The estates of three people who died in a horrific 2008 boat-barge crash and two other occupants gained $8.1 million in judgments against the barge owner but will not see the money for at least a year or possibly ever.
Most of the money -- $7.5 million � was awarded by default several months ago to the estates of the three people killed when the boat they were riding in crashed into a 120-foot barge off the shore on Anchor Bay on Lake St. Clair.
Killed were Joseph Hamilton, 42, of Bloomfield Hills; his girlfriend, Kathleen O�Neill, 39, of Harrison Township; and Sawson �Susie� Bell, 36, of Pontiac.
Brian Lepp, then 38, of Troy, the boat�s operator, received $200,000, and passenger Robert Diegel, then 39, of Macomb Township, received $400,000 for their injuries in default judgments this fall.
Judge Richard Caretti of Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens approved the $2.5 million awards to each of the three estates that were requested by the plaintiffs based on the fact that the decedents were relatively young and would have provided years of companionship to loved ones as well as economic benefits, said Bob Tyler, attorney for the Bell and O�Neill estates, and Hamilton�s attorney, Gary Blumberg. They also experienced pain and suffering, they said.
�You have a general sense of the value of a client,� Tyler said. �If we had gone to trial perhaps we could have gotten a larger number. (But) it made sense from a practical sense. I think Judge Caretti thought it was a reasonable amount.�
�It was a terrible, terrible accident in which three people were killed and two others were injured,� Blumberg added.
But the money right now is uncollectible. The judgments were made against barge owner Shepard Marine Construction Inc. in Roseville, the only remaining defendant of an original dozen. Shepard has since gone out of business and at the time of the incident its liability insurance had not been renewed. That oversight is being blamed on Shepard�s insurance agency, Guy Hurley Blaser & Heuer in Troy, which the plaintiffs sued Wednesday in Macomb Circuit Court.
�Defendant Guy has acknowledged in its file that defendant Shepard explicitly requested that it obtain, secure and maintain liability insurance coverage prior to the subject incident,� the lawsuit says.
�There is recorded communications between Guy Hurley and Shepard Marine where Shepard Marine says, �Did you get the insurance yet?� (Guy Hurley) had the money they were holding that would�ve paid the premium,� Tyler said.
A spokeswoman for Guy Hurley Blaser & Heuer said Thursday the company had not been served and the owners declined to comment.
Craig Prate, Shepard�s attorney at the time of the crash, is no longer associated with Shepard.
The case against Guy Hurley Blaser & Heuer will take a year or more to litigate, Tyler said.
If the plaintiffs don�t gain a judgment against the insurance agency, collecting the money �is problematic� due to Shepard no longer in business, Blumberg acknowledged.
Hamilton�s estate includes a 10-year-old daughter, and Bell is survived by two young sons, the attorneys said.
Softening the financial blow to the plaintiffs is that four of the plaintiffs, excluding Lepp, last year divided a total of $500,000, less attorney fees, from Lepp�s insurance, resulting from a lawsuit filed in Oakland County Circuit Court in Pontiac.
Lepp did not return a telephone message left at his business.
The tragic crash marred the 2008 Memorial Day holiday weekend. Lepp was operating his 38-foot watercraft called �Rum Runner� the night of May 24 when it crashed at high rate of speed into the dimly lit barge. Lepp and Diegel, who were on the top area of the boat, suffered head injuries and have recovered, attorneys said, while the three deceased were in the lower cabin compartment.
The barge was removed within days.
The Macomb County Sheriff�s Office cleared Shepard and Lepp from wrongdoing, although officials indicated had asked Shepard to remove the barge since it was no longer in use. The barge was placed there in 2007 to store mud collected during a canal-dredging operation for a Harrison township subdivision.
But a subsequent U.S. Coast Guard investigation concluded Lepp may have been driving too fast and that the barge may have had insufficient lighting to warn boaters in the MacRay Harbor.
�Excessive speed from the R/V (recreation vessel) Rum Runner and an improperly lighted barge may have contributed to this casualty,� the report says.
Instead of the two dim amber lights typically used for road barricades, the barge should have been illuminated by �all-around white lights of an intensity to be visible for at least one nautical mile,� the Coast Guard report says.
The report recommends a $6,500 fine against Shepard for the lifting deficiency. A Coast Guard spokesman could not confirm whether the fine was assessed, nor could a conviction be located at federal and district courts.

The great West Indian team of the 1970's and 80's used four fast bowlers only because it lacked a quality spinner. However successful this team was, on certain occasions the lack of variety in the bowling attack was clearly a weakness. Clive Lloyd, who is a first cousin of Lance Gibbs and played alongside him in the WI team for many years, certainly recognized the value and importance of spin. (Lloyd faced, among others, Bedi, Chandrasekhar, Underwood and Abdul Qadir in their prime).
Sobers, whose most effective form of attack was fast medium bowling, is not a bowler who should be the principal spinner in an all-time team. I would expect him to bowl seam most of the time, reserving his chinamen and googlies for occasions when the team needs to buy wickets and runs are no object, and bowling orthodox slow left arm (as the second rather than the primary spinner) mainly if not exclusively when the conditions favor spin.
It may be too late to matter but for what it's worth my vote for the bowlers would be:
