Democrats win majority in US Senate
A clean sweep
Analysis It was only by a whisker, but Democrats managed to pull off a clean sweep of Congress in the midterm election. Two exceptionally tight Senate races, in Montana and in Virginia, ended yesterday with the Republican candidates conceding.
Democrats now enjoy a razor-thin majority in the Senate, and a substantial one in the House. From a legislative perspective, the Senate victory is the less significant one: some Democrats vote with Republicans, and vice versa, all the time. With a margin of one, the Senate's legislative output will be unlikely to change dramatically.
However, with a solid Democratic majority in the House, the Senate's slight legislative shift will be much amplified in the products of Conference Committees. In other words, the House will ultimately have its way, or near it.
But we mustn't forget that there is still a Republican in the White House, and a very stubborn one at that. Bush will be using his veto and his famous "signing statements" with great eagerness; and because the numbers in both chambers don't look good for veto overrides, we can expect either gridlock, or considerable compromise and backroom horse trading.
More important - even from a legislative perspective - is the coming change of Senate Committee chairs. Democrats will now be setting the agenda for committee hearings and investigations in both chambers, and there is much dirt associated with the Iraq war, so-called "security" initiatives, intelligence blunders, warrantless wiretaps, prisoners held in foreign rat holes, and the like, that the Bush administration will wish desperately to keep from public view.
So, the President will have his veto threat, and the Democrats will have their committee hearing threat. It's not difficult to guess which will prove the more intimidating. Indeed, we might soon be amazed by the amount of legislation the Democrats can push through. ®

Mostly airbrushed with Citadel paint, with a bit of Tamiya clear green for the eyes and additional gloss coat hand painted on the rotting flesh to add to the effect. Sneaked a bit of Nurgle's Rot as well just to add more Ooze to the rotting flesh.
Unfortunately I was completely out of idea and time with the rock base by the time I have finished with the dragon itself, so I just hastily sprayed it with sand brown, dark brown and a quick wash of nulin oil. I'll probably revisit the base later.

I have several different ninjas on the site including a simple ninja, chibi ninja, cartoon ninja, and a regular ninja. I don't know why I have so many different ninja lessons; I guess I'm crazy for these warriors.

BOCA RATON, Fla. — President Barack Obama repeatedly ridiculed GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's foreign policy views as dated and haphazard in his third and final debate with his Republican challenger, who in turn accused the president of diminishing American leadership during his first term.
Vote in our poll: Did the last debate influence your 2012 decision?
Obama took advantage of incumbency to remind voters throughout the 90-minute debate of his experience as commander-in-chief, and Romney's lack thereof. The former Massachusetts governor, meanwhile, sought to project a deep familiarity with vexing global issues.
Slideshow: On the campaign trail
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
The debate, held just 15 days before the election in the battleground state of Florida, veered at times from its stated emphasis on foreign policy and into issues of the economy and the budget – topics on which Romney holds an advantage over the president in most polls.
But Obama sought to do to Romney with foreign policy – disqualify him in the eyes of voters – what his re-election campaign had tried to do on Romney's economic proposals. The president openly mocked Romney's suggestion, for instance, that Russia is the top geopolitical foe of the United States.
"You seem to want to import the foreign policy of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s," he said.Video: Romney says Obama has projected weakness
Obama also derided Romney's vow to grow the size of the Navy as indicative of the GOP nominee's dated views toward national security.
"Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed," Obama said. "We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines. And so the question is not a game of Battleship."
Romney used his time at the debate to more broadly accuse Obama of presiding over a period of diminishing American leadership abroad.
"In nowhere in the world is America's influence greater than it was four years ago," he said.
The former Massachusetts governor also voiced directly to the president an accusation – that Obama had apologized for American values – he has made throughout the campaign.
"You said that on occasion America had dictated to other nations," Romney said. "Mr. President, America has not dictated to other nations. We have freed other nations from dictators."Video: 'Horses and bayonets'? A squabble on military spending
That attack prompted Obama to respond with a blistering characterization of Romney's own trip to the United Kingdom, Israel and Poland this past summer.
"When I was a candidate for office, the first trip I took was to visit our troops. And when I went to Israel as a candidate, I didn't take donors. I didn't attend fundraisers," Obama said in reference to a fundraiser Romney held while in Jerusalem this summer. "I went to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum there, to remind myself the nature of evil and why our bond with Israel will be unbreakable."Risks and rewards in Romney's final debate approach
Obama's tough rhetoric, though, betrayed his campaign's outward confidence amid a series of national and battleground state polls suggesting the election had tightened to a dead heat over the past month, since Romney's strong performance in their first debate on Oct. 3. Republicans argued that the president's posture was that of a candidate who has fallen behind Romney over the past few weeks.
Romney used a number of opportunities to steer the debate back toward domestic issues, on which the former Massachusetts governor has mostly staked his campaign. Romney got an opportunity to recount his five-point economic plan, and his direct-to-camera closing statement emphasized the economy as much as foreign policy.Video: Candidates spar on foreign policy in final debate
The Republican nominee also largely declined to make as sharp of a case about Obama's handling of the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Romney has used the administration's response to that incident to make up ground versus Obama, but scarcely dwelled on Libya – the opening topic of Monday evening's debate.
Romney also tried to dissociate himself with Republican hawkishness, refusing to engage a hypothetical question about Iran's nuclear program, ruling out a military strike against Libya and stating the U.S. "can't kill our way out of this mess" as it relates to al Qaeda.
The debate's tangents offered Obama other opportunities to go after Romney. The upcoming "sequester" – the automatic spending cuts, particularly to the defense budget, set to take effect at the beginning next year – prompted the two candidates to renew their squabbling over Romney's tax plan.
And Obama – whose decision to extend federal aid to Detroit's troubled automakers in 2009 has become a pillar of his pitch to voters in Midwestern battleground states – eagerly pounced on a tangent involving the auto industry to criticize Romney.
The Republican nominee also largely shrugged off Obama's attacks as obfuscatory.In post-debate spin room, conversation shifts to Obama effectiveness
"Attacking me is not an agenda," Romney said early at the debate, at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla.
Whether Monday's debate would provoke a thinning sliver of undecided voters to make a decision was another question, to which the answer wasn't immediately clear following the debate.
Both Obama and Romney had arranged major rallies with their running mates on Tuesday so as to project momentum in the closing two weeks of the campaign. Both campaigns left Boca Raton with a self-professed sense of confidence, validation or dismissal of which will come on Nov. 6.

Tessanne Chin Wins 'The Voice'
Jamaican singer Tessanne Chin won Season 5 of "The Voice" on Tuesday, beating out fellow team member Will Champlin and Christina Aguilera's 16-year-old protégé, Jacquie Lee.
Concluding 13 weeks of hard-fought competition, Tessanne scored a second win for her coach Adam Levine after a run of flawless performances — from "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Redemption Song" to her final solo performance on Monday of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing."
Just last week, the competition was an open race, with no clear winner in sight. But after Monday's final performances, all signs pointed to Tessanne. Of the three songs the finalists performed on Monday, Tessanne's "I Have Nothing" topped the iTunes singles charts overnight, while "Let It Be," her duet with her coach, hovered at number three.

View 2013 men's cross country schedule
View 2013 women's cross country schedule
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Tech's women's and men's cross country teams have some familiar outings ahead, but will also see a couple of new wrinkles in the 2013 schedule which was announced this week by coach Tony Cox.
"This year's schedule is a little bit different than it has been in past years," Cox said. "We are going to a new meet at Western Carolina, we're returning to a couple of meets that we didn't go to last year, and we've moved the date of our own Invitational up about a month from when we've been running it."
Tech's only new meet this season will be the Western Carolina
Invitational, a Friday evening event in the wooded hills of
Cullowhee, N.C., that opens the 2013 season on August 30. The men's
8K race gets underway at 6 p.m. CT.
A week later, Tech will host the annual TTU Invitational at Southern Hills Golf Course. The meet has been held on a Friday afternoon through the years, and this year's event moves to a 5 p.m. starting gun.
After missing the event for four years, the Golden Eagles return
to the Vanderbilt Invitational for the second consecutive year.
That meet will be held on Saturday morning, Sept. 14, in
"We returned to the Vanderbilt meet last year for the first time in about four years," Cox said. "It's a meet that our runners always seem to enjoy, there's very good competition, and we usually have a good fan following at the Vandy meet."
The fourth week of the schedule sends Tech to the Jacksonville
State Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 5, while the final regular
season action is the familiar Evansville Invitational on Saturday,
Oct. 19.
The culmination of the season is the Ohio Valley Conference championships, which will be hosted this year by Morehead State on Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Eagle Trace Golf Course.
"It's been quite some time since we've run on that course," Cox said. "Nobody currently on our roster has seen that course, so it will be fun to see how they approach the new layout."
The NCAA South Regional meet will be hosted by the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Friday, Nov. 15.

12" X 15" Tablemat
Nanking: Walnut/Currant/Lt.Blue/Bluebell/Ensign
The truth is, I don't like to cook....very much. But our family does like to eat, so I had to get over it. And we, as a family, embraced the importance of the family dinner table. And even though our children are grown, we still have family dinners whenever we can.
But during those busy years of child-raising, cooking a meal was both routine and special. Because I didn't particularly enjoy it, I always thought of it as a production to be accomplished. A production that needed staging....and I began to make placemats to fill that need.
I thought of my own messy family, and how we used our kitchen, and how we cleaned up....and knew an easy to clean tablemat was the ONLY answer for us. But being from a fabric background, painting was not really my forte. So I began to experiment with fabric pieces, adhesive, and floor finishes.
Our tablemats fit well with busy and MESSY families, and are equally welcoming for a formal dinner party.
Can't decide? We can send samples of any color by mail.

Welcome Back
In today's post I will be reviewing;
Product Details
- Manufacturer/Brand; Crafters Companion; Ultimate Pro: The Boxer
- Item number; 185716 Box
- RRP at time of writing: £ 15
Reason For Buying
I haven't got the Ultimate Pro set from Crafters companion, as I'd bought the individual box maker and envelope board just weeks before it was launched. This board is different to the Box making board that was previously available from the company but as I didn't have the Ultimate Pro as a base to put it onto, it wasn't a board I was going to go for. BUT I did want the Envelobox Creator, and I bought when there was a buy one get the other board free. So as a freebie it was worth a try.
Scoring board. Quote: Create custom size and shape boxes or score accurate metric and imperial measurements with The Boxer board. One side is imperial up to 8″ in one eighth inch increments. Other side Metric up to 20cm in half centimeter increments.
- Light weight but robust
- Compact, easy to store
- Metric and imperial measurements on opposite side of the board.
- SUPERB embossing tool. Great if your dexterity isn't what it could be.
- Versatile
- Step by step photos and written instruction leaflet.
There is also a separately available DVD with project ideas and tips to help you get the best from this board.
When demoing and asked on C&C, 'Can this board be used alone." Sara said "Yes".
Without any stop blocks to butt your card against, at either edge of the board, this proves difficult and unreliable.
When the board is used slotted onto the Ultimate Pro. When scoring lines beyond 7″ or 17cm, the longer pieces of card can become deformed on an opposite scoring edge. The instructions to over come this say to add a 'padding' to your Ultimate Pro by placing a spare board under the Boxer. This results in no raised edge to but your card against as it will lie flush with the top of Ultimate Pro.
Build Quality
Excellent. Sturdy plastic which makes it light but it is still robust. Watch out for moulding marks though, mine was prominent and if you aren't careful, could scratch the card as you use the board. Luckily it didn't distort the scoring lines. The hand tools are excellent, very ergonomic and comfortable to use.
Value for Money
I cannot comment as to how well this performs in an Ultimate Pro, as I don't have that board. Without an Ulitmate Pro, for me, it can't do what it's designed for accurately, without any stop blocks at the edges.
Would I buy it Again?
Sorry but without the Ultimate Pro, there are no stops on the edges of the board. For this reason ONLY I would not buy this as a standalone product. They say you can use it budged up against other things, but that isn't the way to get a reliable enough stop to measure against.
Summing up
- Well made
- Great quality
- Excellent embossing tool
This seems a good idea, that perhaps needed more work IF, it is being sold as being able to be used as a standalone board as well as on the Ulitmate Pro.
The leaflet that comes with the board, and the instructions on the separately available DVD both show that to avoid creasing larger card, when using the board with the Ultimate Pro you need to put an extra board underneath to raise it up. Then admit that you will lose the raised butting edge (lip that you hold your card up against, to keep your measurements straight and true) when you do this.
A secure and accurate 90 degree edge is essential to the whole process but used alone or raised to avoid damaging longer card in an Ultimate pro you are without it.
This is the first product of its kind from Sara that I've not had success with. I had her earlier version of this board which had box bases on one side and lids on the other. That worked as a stand alone product and had raised edges.
A great shame, adding raised long edges like on the design of the earlier Box making boards from the company and this would have worked better in and out of the Ultimate Pro. Perhaps that could be included in v2 😉

Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon

An independent lawmaker said he will propose a public scholarship for children in low-income families to give them a fair chance at a proper education, with funds for the scheme coming out of the deep pockets of the pan-blue camp.
"The KMT should think about donating cash from its abundant resources to help forward the scholarship program," Legislator Peter Lin (林進興) said.
The KMT is thought to be the world's richest political party.
Lin said he devised the scholarship proposal after being touched by the story of Lei Chia-chia (雷家佳) and Chang Ying-hua (張穎華), two high school graduates who recently competed for a place in the law department of the National Defense Management College.
The teenagers were both from low-income households unable to afford the costs of studying at a public university.
Lin said that tuition fees in Taiwan are not high compared to other countries with high-quality education systems, such as the US.
But he believed that "formulating auxiliary measures, such as more scholarship programs, is necessary to assure that the financially disadvantaged minority are not affected by the high costs of our educational policy."
He said that the idea of using KMT assets for the scholarship came up after the education debate was politicized.
"Using their party assets for the benefit of education is a good idea," Lin said. "The measure could hopefully solve a pending dispute over the former ruling party's legitimacy in possessing the tremendous amounts of property it obtained during its half-century of dictatorial rule."
Claiming that his idea has received support from other lawmakers, Lin said he will submit his proposal to the legislature when lawmakers return from their summer recess in September.
He hoped that the scholarship, dubbed the "Taiwan Hope scholarship," would be realized with a legislative resolution and set up by the government soon.
But Lin's plan to connect the scholarship with the KMT's assets came up against immediate objections by KMT Legislator Hung Hsiu-chiu (洪秀柱).
Hung blasted that "anyone who really cares about education problems would not initiate such a motion."
The scheme was proposed with bad intentions and attempts to raise debate over issues other than education, said Hung, an experienced lawmaker who has focused on educational affairs for years.
"Creating more scholarships is only an educational stopgap. The KMT refuses to give any response to Lin's proposal," Hung said.
However, TSU Legislator Ho Min-hao (何敏豪) admired Lin's idea.
"It would be great if the nation could take back the property illegally acquired by the KMT and turn it into scholarship cash," Ho said.
He said even if Lin's idea is not realized, the government needs to create public scholarships to help children from low-income households gain access to education.
A DPP lawmaker said he respected Lin's plan, but he played down the possibility of the DPP administration carrying out his idea.
"It's wrong to link the KMT's assets to the creation of a scholarship, since the KMT's illegally gained assets should be returned to the people and not be transferred by the government into a public scholarship," DPP Legislator Chen Chin-jun (陳景峻) said.
Political commentator Li Hsiao-feng (李筱峰) shared a similar view.
"The KMT's Ill-gotten gains cannot be taken as the source of a scholarship. The assets should return to the people and the country instead of being used as scholarships," Li said.

Outdoor Country-Chic Wedding at Oak View Nursery in Owatonna, Minnesota
rn High school sweethearts Trisha Ross (25 and a sales and development coordinator) and Nic Remund (24 and a farmer) held a modern, romantic celebration at Oak View Nursery in Minnesota. "We both love modern design and wanted to incorporate that into our wedding," Trisha says. "To soften it up, we added touches of blush, chiffon and greenery." Their color palette—copper, marble and blush—was chic but still rustic and warm. After an outdoor ceremony, the newlyweds hosted 250 guests in an indoor/outdoor reception on-site. "The venue had fire pits, an area for yard games, plenty of seating and indoor space."
For dinner, guests sat at long wooden banquet tables topped with silver dollar and eucalyptus garlands, copper terrariums and pillar candles. "We wanted every detail to be a reflection on our love or our personal style," Trisha says. "My favorite details were the ones that have such meaning in our hearts." One meaningful detail was the wedding hashtag #EverybodyLovesRemund, a phrase Trisha used to write on signs to cheer Nic on at sports games in high school. For a fun favor, guests took home personalized can koozies. "Slow down and make sure to build in moments and details that are meaningful and special to you and your soon-to-be husband," Trisha advises. —Carolyn Meers

LONG BEACH, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara's swim teams participated in the third day of the Big West Championships at Bellmont Plaza and yet again, dominated.
UCSB's women's swim team sits in first place by a margin of 47 with 601 points. The men's team is in second place by a ten point margin behind UC Davis with 615 points.
The 400 individual medley was the first event of the day and senior, Jessica Schwalb for the women's team stomped on the competition coming in first with a time of 4:17.54, beating the second place finisher by three seconds. Schwalb's time qualified for the NCAA "B" qualifying standard. The next Gaucho to come in was Kelsey Lewis, in fifth, with a time of 4:25.91. Coming in seventh was junior, Brittany Borowitz with a time of 4:31.74. The last Gaucho to touch the wall at tenth was Mariana Prutton with a time of 4:29.44.
The men's team fared just as well with Evan Simoni finishing first for the Gauchos and placing third overall with a time of 3:57.19. Ryan Garcia touched fourth with a personal best time of 3:58.02. Next for UCSB was junior, Shane Hurter touching seventh with a time of 4:02.45.
It was a close finish in the 100 butterfly for the women with senior Naomi Javanifard getting out-touched by Northridge's Yuli Gavrilova. Javanifard finished second with a time of 54.44 while Gavrilova touched at 54.25. Both women qualified for the NCAA "B" qualifying standard. Katie Ure came in fourth with a time of 55.37 and Laurel Ferguson placed sixth with a time of 56.84.
Not be outdone, the UCSB men's team had four swimmers in the finals for the 100 butterfly. Danny McClary was the first Gaucho to touch the wall, placing second with a time of 48.22. McClary's time qualifies for the NCAA "B" standard. Jon Kraetsch placed fourth with a time 49.17. Next was Christ Wiggin whacking the wall with a time of 49.38 and placing fifth. Max Horrell rounded out the depth for the Gauchos coming in seventh with a time of 49.59.
The Gaucho women, yet again, dominated another event having five of the eight swimmers in the final heat for the 200 freestyle. Katie Stover touched second with a time of 1:49.26. Right after her was Courtney Bauer touching third with a time of 1:51.20. Katie Tomkinson placed fifth with a time of 1:54.29. Next was freshman Emma Hunt touching with a personal best time of 1:52.54. Last but certainly was not least was Olivia Plume placing eighth with a time of 1:52.77.
The Gaucho men were just as dominant having, like the women, five of the eight swimmers in the finals for the 200 freestyle event. Scott Vogelgesang placed first with a quick time of 1:37.57 qualifying him for a NCAA "B" standard. Ryan Hanni was next placing fourth with a time of 1:38.77. Dan Morris touched fifth with a time of 1:39.60; in sixth was Joe Plume with a time of 1:40.32; and seventh was Kevin Kuhn with a time of 1:41.35.
Freshman Emily Adamczyk was the lone swimmer for the Gauchos in the 100 breaststroke finals, finishing third with a quick time of 1:04.12.
The men also had one swimmer in the 100 breaststroke finals but that did not stop UCSB from dominating. Tim Freeman touched first with a very quick time of 53.90 setting a meet and Big West Conference League record. This time qualifies for a NCAA "A" standard.
Travis Jepson and Walt Gault finished ninth and 13th in the consols with time of 57.07 and 57.60.
In the 100 backstroke Javanifard received another second place finish with a time of 55.33 qualifying for the NCAA "B" cut standard. Sasza Lohrey placed fifth in the finals with a time of 57.25. Kendall Neely finished ninth in the consols with a personal best time of 57.34.
In the 100 backstroke for the men, Kevin Ferguson placed first overall with a time of 48.68, qualifying for a NCAA "B" standard. Freshman Brandon Shilling placed sixth with a time of 51.31 followed by Max Horrell, who placed seventh with a time of 52.22.
Chris Peterson placed ninth in the 100 backstroke consols with a time of 51.36.
The men's and women's swim teams finished the day off on a high note with two first place finishes in the 200 freestyle relay. The women's "A" team of Neely, Javanifard, Lohrey, and Stover touched first with a time of 1:32.31, qualifying for a NCAA "B" standard cut. The men's "A" team of Kuhn, Peterson, Hanni and Ferguson came in first with a fast time of 1:19.71. Their time qualifies for a NCAA "B" cut standard.
The final day of the Big West Championships continues tomorrow.

LOS ANGELES — Whether Colonial Williamsburg, Boston's Freedom Trail or Washington's monuments, tracing the steps of patriots, presidents and pioneers never ceases to inspire.
Same holds for iconic sports arenas. Among those of us who revel in the games people play, there's nothing like a pilgrimage to Lambeau Field, Madison Square Garden or Augusta National.
Luxury suites and wider-than-a-city-block flatscreens don't define these experiences. Tradition and history do.
Late Saturday night, the University of Virginia played football at America's most historic sports venue: the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Sharing Exposition Park with museums, gardens and the Los Angeles Sports Arena, this 87-year-old stadium looks its age, battered and yellowed.
But, oh, that welcoming arch, emblazoned with the Olympic rings and topped by the Olympic torch. And, oh, what has transpired here — all, smog permitting, with a view of L.A.'s skyline and surrounding mountains.
The Coliseum hosted two Summer Olympics, two Super Bowls, including the first, and one World Series. The NFL's Rams and Raiders played here, as did UCLA's Bruins and baseball's Dodgers.
Southern California's Trojans, Virginia's opponent Saturday, have called the Coliseum home since its 1923 opening (construction cost $800,000), staging classics with rivals such as Notre Dame, UCLA and Oklahoma, and winning 11 national championships in the process.
Now consider some of the individuals and teams crowned here.
Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers at the first Super Bowl in 1967; Babe Didrickson in the 1932 Olympics, Carl Lewis in the '84 Games; Don Shula's 17-0 Miami Dolphins at Super Bowl VII — their victims were the Washington Redskins.
Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale pitched here before Dodger Stadium opened; Frank Gifford, O.J. Simpson and Marcus Allen ran here for the Trojans; Pop Warner, Bear Bryant and Joe Paterno coached here against USC.
Some or all of those names and events may escape young folk, but that's their loss. For those of a certain vintage, the Coliseum is hallowed ground.
And it's not only sports. Billy Graham, Nelson Mandela and Pope John Paul II spoke on this field. Springsteen, the Stones and U2 rocked the joint.
The old Yankee Stadium rivaled the Coliseum. Steeped in baseball lore, of course, the House that Ruth Built also saw heavyweight title fights, intersectional college football games such as Army-Notre Dame and the NFL's first overtime championship contest, between the 1958 Baltimore Colts and New York Giants.
But like many of its vintage, Yankee Stadium was replaced by a new model.
Among football stadiums, Miami's Orange Bowl once rated with the Coliseum. Bobby Bowden and Tom Osborne won national championships there, Bart Starr, Joe Namath, Johnny Unitas and Terry Bradshaw quarterbacked Super Bowl victories there.
But the Orange Bowl, too, went the way of the wrecking ball. In fact, the Miami Hurricanes' final home game there was a 48-0 loss to Virginia in 2007.
The only member of Virginia's football program to play in the L.A. Coliseum before Saturday is linebackers coach Vincent Brown. He and the 1989 New England Patriots fell to the Los Angeles Raiders 24-21.
Not surprising, the place's history was lost on Brown.
"Naturally I tried to keep my mind on what was going on in the game," Brown said. "As a player at the time, there was a guy on the other side (to worry about) named Bo Jackson."
For what it's worth, Jackson did minimal damage that day, rushing for 60 yards on 24 carries and catching two passes for 35 yards before a less-than-half-full house.
With a 93,607-seat capacity, the Coliseum is as big as it is old. Game 4 of the Dodgers- White Sox World Series in 1959 attracted 92,706, a Series record that never will be broken.
The Trojans haven't drawn a sellout since their home opener two years ago against Ohio State, but the venerable Coliseum still stands tall, even after suffering nearly $100 million in damages during a 1994 earthquake.
If 6.7 on the Richter Scale wasn't her demise, surely she'll endure a while longer.

'The Lady': Re-creating 15 years of house arrest [Video]
When Luc Besson was making "The Lady," his bio-pic about Burmese dissident and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, he couldn't just set up his camera on a studio backlot and start rolling.
Much of the drama takes place at the home outside Yangon (Rangoon) where Suu Kyi, played in the film by Michelle Yeoh, was held under house arrest for nearly 15 years. To replicate the exact look and feel of her domestic prison, Besson relied on Google Maps images, eyewitness recollections and whatever else he could find.
Shooting primarily in Thailand, the filmmakers knew it was crucial for their movie to look and sound as authentic as possible: from the stirring words that Suu Kyi has used in defending democracy, to the classical music that was played when her son accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on her behalf in Stockholm. (For the record, it was Pachelbel's "Canon in D.")
Yeoh, who was born in Malaysia and speaks English, Cantonese and Mandarin, even went so far as mastering enough Burmese to be able to deliver one of Suu Kyi's key speeches in her native tongue.
Here's an exerpt from the filmmakers' conversation last week with The Envelope at the Arclight theater in Sherman Oaks.

NFPA has created a free deluxe storybook app and eBook to help you reach out to preschool through grade 5 students. Join Sparky the Fire Dog® in celebrating fire safety and reading! Just follow these easy steps, and reading in an elementary classroom will be a breeze. Meet with your fellow firefighters to gain support and participation in the Read for Fire Safety program. Share the Sparky's Birthday Surprise app and Rescue Dogs, Firefighting Heroes, and Science Facts e-book with the firefighters.
What to do
When you meet with the principal, bring an IPad, Kindle Fire or other tablet so you can show the Sparky Birthday Surprise app, The Case of the Missing Smoke Alarm app, and the Rescue Dogs, Firefighting Heroes, and Science Facts eBook. Leave the Read for Fire Safety letters to be distributed to classroom teachers.
Here are some ideas to help schools participate:
Provide reading opportunities outside the classroom
Timo Juurakko, a Public Education Network Representative, in Maple Ridge, British Columbia had a successful Read for Fire Safety event at Maple Ridge Elementary school with a kindergarten class.
One week follow-up - Contact the school for a list of teachers and grade levels that would like a firefighter to visit the school for Read for Fire Safety. Make a schedule of classrooms and assign a firefighter to be the reader. Firefighters may need to use personal tablets or the classroom teachers may have tablets. Be sure tablets are available for each reading session.
Ways to show your iPad on a projector screen
The app and e-book can be displayed in the classroom using an LCD projector and a VGA cable. However, using an IPad, you will need an Apple adaptor – available at an Apple store ($30). Some schools will be fully equipped with wireless equipment and you will be able to project via the wireless network. Check with the school for the best way to project the app and e-book in a classroom. It's a good idea to test the equipment, app and e-book before the day of readings.
Train your readers
Train the firefighters who will be participating. They should be comfortable with the equipment and accessing the materials. Demonstrate the interactivity of the app by showing the firefighters what they should touch on the app for example, the fire house garage door opens when touched, drawers will open when touched, etc. The firefighters should be comfortable turning the pages, projecting their voice and emphasizing the important safety messages presented.
Interactive activities to use with white boards are available. Firefighters and teachers can use these together to reinforce fire safety messages learned in the app and e-book. For schools that do not have interactive white boards, worksheets are available to use in the classroom. It's important to know what equipment you will have available in the classroom, so you can prepare what you will do beyond reading. If using an interactive white board, ask the classroom teacher to take the lead and you can assist and also learn how to use this fun teaching method. If you use worksheets, be sure to make enough copies for each student. Interactive activities and PDF worksheets can be found at sparkyschoolhouse.org.

YouTube launches new app for iPhone, iPod touch
(CBS News) YouTube announced Tuesday the launch of its new app for Apple iPhones and iPod touches.
The new app has been overhauled to include a larger library of videos, a new swipe-out YouTube guide and the ability to share on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. An iPad version of the app is also in the works.
YouTube app no longer default on iPhone, iPad
''We are offering a better user experience to iPhone users,'' Francisco Varela, YouTube global director of platform partnerships, told the Associated Press. ''We will now have content parity on all our mobile platforms.''
The move to release an app ahead of Apple's press event and the imminent launch of iOS 6 has sparked speculation that YouTube's parent company Google is making a preemptive strike. Apple is widely expected to announce its next iPhone on Wednesday in San Francisco.
Apple and Google's relationship has become increasingly competitive since the partnership was initially formed for the launch of iPhone 1 in June 2007.
In 2008, Google launched its own mobile operating system Android. Apple's late co-founder Steve Jobs famously said to his biographer, "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."
Apple announced in August that YouTube will no longer be the default video app on iOS devices. At the time, Google said it was working with Apple to ensure "the best possible YouTube experience for iOS users."
It's worth noting that the default YouTube app previously installed on iPhones is designed by Apple using Google's application programming interface (API). An API is a set of tools that lets third-party developers write custom programs for a service. The new YouTube app is built by YouTube engineers, giving the company more control of the features and design.
Google did not comment on speculation over the timing of the launch, and released this statement to CBS News:
"Today we launched a new app available for download dedicated to giving users the best YouTube experience on iOS devices. The new app brings more videos and channels, makes it easier to find what you're looking for, and gives you more ways to share the videos you love."

There are no words. It's a phrase I've seen or uttered far too often as of late. First, in my close circle of friends when it came to a tragic accident that took the life of the toddler of one of my dearest friends. I walked around in a fog for weeks with a loss I can't understand. Now, again, in the past week, I've seen it spread throughout the food blogging community. We were talking of indescribable loss. The sudden loss of the husband of fellow blogger, Jennifer Perillo.
Her husband, Mikey, passing away last weekend of a sudden heart attack while out bike riding with one of their two daughters. I don't know how she did, but she put together word after beautifully written word, about her dear husband in a post named, "For Mikey". She also made his favorite pie, Creamy Peanut Butter. Food is love, and in this case, it connects time and space, for the love of one dearest husband loss.
The food blogging community, as always, came together. Today, bloggers across the world making this pie, some variation, or their own #apieformikey . It's our way of supporting a friend, that some of us know so well, some have never met.
I was lucky enough to spend a little bit of time with Jennie at Eat, Write, Retreat. I got to share a quick breakfast with her and my dear friend Ethan Adeland (who by the way, gave his pie to a woman's shelter, and wrote a wonderful post for his friend). She spoke of her husband, her girls, her love for sharing local and from-scratch food. It's a passion we share. Just days ago, we tweeted back and forth about a cherry-infused grappa, and our love for the spirit. I'm not going to pretend to know Jennie like so many of you do. I know her enough to know she's a kindred spirit, full of love and light.
When devastating loss comes to pass, we often share in gifts of food, because it's one way of trying to fill the massive void a loved one leaves behind. Today, I share my version of Jennie's pie for Mikey with you. I share because I think she's a beautiful person, I think her daughters are amazing, I share because I can't imagine the loss she's feeling. I share because my husband loves this pie as much as Mikey did (and I'm sure still does), and I can't imagine losing him, his smile, his love for life.
Oreo Peanut Butter Pie
(printable recipe)
Serves: 10-12
A recipe (with a couple of changes) from the lovely Jennifer Perillo
- 8 ounces Oreo Cookies
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 4 ounces finely chopped chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (I omitted)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup creamy-style peanut butter
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 -14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- more crumbled oreos for garnishing
- Pulverize the Oreos in a food processor until they're fine crumbs.
- Combine melted butter and cookie crumbs in a small bowl. Stir with a fork to mix well.
- Press mixture into the bottom and 1-inch up the sides of a buttered springform pan.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave. Pour over the bottom of cookie crust. Sprinkle the peanuts over the top, if you're using it. Put the pan in the fridge while you make the filling.
- In the bowl of standing mixer (or a regular bowl if using a hand mixer), pour in the heavy cream and beat until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a small bowl and put in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the filling.
- Rinse out your standing mixer bowl (or take out another) and place your cream cheese and peanut butter in it, and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Reduce mixer speed to low, and gradually beat in confectioner's sugar.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Increase the speed to medium and beat all the ingredients are combined and the filing is smooth.
- Finally, take your whipped cream, and fold in 1/3 of the whipped cream into the filling mixture (it will lighten the mixture, making it easier to fold the rest of the whipped cream in).
- Fold in the remaining whipped cream.
- Pour the mixture into your springform pan.
- Sprinkled the crushed Oreos for garnish on top.
- Refrigerate for three hours or overnight before serving.

HONOLULU (AP) — Honolulu police officers are urging lawmakers to keep an exemption in state law that lets undercover officers have sex with prostitutes during investigations, but they won't say how often — or even if — they use the provision.
HONOLULU (AP) — Honolulu police officers are urging lawmakers to keep an exemption in state law that lets undercover officers have sex with prostitutes during investigations, but they won't say how often — or even if — they use the provision.
The idea has shocked advocates and law enforcement experts in the sex trade, who note that many prostitutes have been forced into that line of work.
"I don't know of any state or federal law that allows any law enforcement officer undercover to ... do what this law is allowing," said Roger Young, a retired special agent who for more than 20 years worked sex crimes for the FBI from Las Vegas and who has trained vice squads around the country. "Once we agree on the price and the sex act, that's all that you need. That breaks the law."
Honolulu police say they need the legal protection to catch lawbreakers in the act. Otherwise, they argue, prostitutes will insist on sex to identify undercover officers.
This year legislators moved to revamp Hawaii's decades-old law against prostitution. They toughened penalties on pimps and those who use prostitutes. They also proposed scrapping the sex exemption for officers on duty. The legislation was amended to restore that protection after police testimony. The revised proposal passed the state House and will go before a Senate committee Friday.
During recent testimony, Honolulu police said the sex exemption protects investigations and should remain in place.
"The procedures and conduct of the undercover officers are regulated by department rules, which by nature have to be confidential," Honolulu Police Maj. Jerry Inouye told the House Judiciary Committee. "Because if prostitution suspects, pimps and other people are privy to that information, they're going to know exactly how far the undercover officer can and cannot go."
They also assured lawmakers that internal policies and procedures are in place to prevent officers from taking advantage of it. The Honolulu police vice officers who investigate prostitution haven't been accused of sexual wrongdoing in recent memory, spokeswoman Michelle Yu said in an email, but added that in 2011 a parole officer was fired after being charged and convicted of sexual assault against a prostitute.
Advocates warn that the provision is an invitation for misconduct.
"Police abuse is part of the life of prostitution," said Melissa Farley, the executive director of the San Francisco-based group Prostitution Research and Education. Farley said that in places without such police protections "women who have escaped prostitution" commonly report being coerced into giving police sexual favors to keep from being arrested.
"It doesn't help your case, and at worst you further traumatize someone," said Derek Marsh, who trains California police in best practices on human trafficking cases and twice has testified to Congress about the issue. "And do you think he or she is going to trust a cop again?"
Charlie Fuller, executive director of the International Association of Undercover Officers, laughed when he heard about the Hawaii law. Contrary to Hollywood movies that portray undercover officers having to break the law to blend in with bad guys, Fuller said good investigators always have other options.
"A good undercover," he said, "is going to get probable cause before they have to cross that line."

Puzzles to fill a special need
Love for autistic sister figures in new bakery's hiring plans
Sara Mae Hickey knew she wanted to be a difference maker for a long time. She considered the Peace Corps after she graduated from Skidmore in 2012, but she soon realized her most important cause was at home — her sister Emily.
And so at 23, Hickey is the owner of Puzzles Bakery & Cafe, which is set to open sometime between April and June at 515 State St. in Schenectady and will employ adults on the autism spectrum and who have other disabilities, a group studies have shown to be severely underemployed. She's also the president and founder of the nonprofit The Autism Initiative, which helps provide educational and recreational programming to those in the autism community.
Hickey's sister Emily, who is on the cusp of turning 21, has autism and is considered low-functioning. She requires constant care, has a limited vocabulary for her age and is unable to live on her own. When Hickey was in kindergarten, she toted a pamphlet about autism along to class, a result of her parents' longtime involvement with the local chapter of the Autism Society of America. In a lot of ways, Emily's disability shaped Hickey's path.
"My whole life she's always been a big inspiration to me. I've always seen the bigger picture. We know so many families who are affected by this disability," says Hickey, who has bachelor's degrees in anthropology and government from Skidmore College and a master's certificate in nonprofit management from SUNY Purchase. "I don't think everyone really understands it's a lifelong disability. These children become adults, and they live a very long time."
The newest statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show 1 in 50 U.S. children have been diagnosed with autism. A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry last year showed young adults with autism spectrum disorders have worse employment outcomes in the first few years after high school than peers with other disabilities, such as learning disabilities, emotional disturbances and speech or language impairments. About 53 percent of young adults on the spectrum have ever worked for pay outside the home within the first eight years out of high school. About 21 percent of young adults on the spectrum worked full time at a current or most-recent job, with the average pay of $8.10 per hour. The disorder is a spectrum. Many think of those on the spectrum as simply "quirky," intelligent people who sometimes possess unique gifts, such as author, advocate and professor of animal science Temple Grandin, But it is called a spectrum disorder for a reason. Sometimes, like Emily, young adults on the spectrum face a host of challenges, including communication and self-care, and are not capable of living on their own.
By showing how well it can work at Puzzles, Hickey wants to encourage other businesses to pursue hiring adults with developmental disabilities. She said there are already government programs that provide incentives, such as covering the employee's wages while they learn the skills needed to do the job.
Hickey says she hopes Puzzles — named after the puzzle-piece symbol often used to represent the mysteriousness and range of the disorder — will be a place where young adults with various challenges can find a role, whether it's making coffee, chopping vegetables or delivering food to tables. She says it's unlikely Emily will be able to work at Puzzles because she'll be headed to a day program for adults with disabilities, but she will be a frequent visitor.
The effort has become a family project. Hickey's father, Dan Hickey, purchased the building on State Street and is refurbishing some upstairs apartment units as an investment. Her mother, Elaine Hickey, serves on the board of The Autism Initiative. Dan Hickey is also doing much of the construction work himself, along with volunteers and some hired contractors. Hickey was able to secure a $50,000 grant from Schenectady Metroplex Development Authority for exterior renovations, including an outdoor patio. She's also in the process of securing a loan.
She's had some experience in the food industry, working at Panera Bread and other restaurants, and has hired a graduate of Schenectady County Community College's culinary arts program to serve as kitchen manager. The business will employ adults without disabilities as well, and will try to hire as many adults with disabilities as possible by offering short shifts. Puzzles will also work with the Wildwood Programs and Schenectady ARC to provide internships, job shadowing experiences and employment opportunities to those students and adults. The bakery and cafe will serve sandwiches, baked goods and soup.
"I do envision this being something more of a chain," she says. "I'd like to have as many as possible so we could employ as many individuals with special needs as possible."

I have read that there are cooks in steakhouses like Ruth Chris and places of that type that when someone orders a well done steak will break out an inferior cut of meat.
JRPfeff I know Ruth Chris offers a description of doneness for their steaks which includes well-done. They don't cop an attitude no matter how you choose to have your steak prepared.

Don Draper, in the stunning last scene of the Season 6 finale of "Mad Men," takes his three kids to a crumbling Victorian home in Pennsylvania, barely recognizable from flashbacks as the brothel that was his childhood home. "This," he says, "is where I grew up."
He exchanges glances with his troubled teenage daughter Sally, perhaps more shocked by her father's honesty than by his revelation as Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides, Now" fills the silence.
Don's disclosure and the song, all about the push-and-pull realities of growing up and grappling with the kind of happy illusions ("ice cream castles in the air") he peddled as an ad man, not only proved a haunting ending to the season. The sequence also set the stage for the AMC drama's bisected final season, which arrives Sunday with the promise of finally bringing Don Draper's two lives together.
It's impossible to know, of course, exactly how "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner will end his 1960s-spanning story of a man on a collision course with himself. But it's always been headed toward Don confronting his dual life: as Dick Whitman, the poor orphaned farm boy son of a prostitute who died in childbirth, and as Don Draper, the hard-living, lady-killer advertising genius for whom touting material comforts offers a fantasy of the happy home life he craved as a boy.
While layers of his life have peeled away over the first six seasons, confronting the truth isn't about saving Don/Dick's soul anymore, as much as saving his own children.
Many viewers and critics, for good reason, have seen the story of "Mad Men" as a dual tale of Don and his protégé, Peggy Olson, another master of reinvention who harbors a secret of her own. But we've also seen Don's personality rub off, to different extents on Joan Holloway, the ad firm office manager turned partner, ambitious junior partner Pete Campbell and the mysterious accounts executive Bob Benson, whose full story has yet to be told.
Still, there are indications suggesting the show ultimately will end as the story of Don and Sally, who has good reason to be disillusioned by her dad. She caught him in an inmate moment with a female neighbor last season. When an older African-American woman broke into her father's apartment, Sally didn't know whether to believe the burglar's story that she raised her father. That led Sally to later deliver to her father perhaps the defining line of the series, or at least last season: "I don't know anything about you."
With the show presumably moving into 1969, the year of Woodstock, we can expect more father-daughter clashes. Don, now in his early 40s, seems increasingly out of step with the times. But Don's search for his identity is very much a 1960s journey, even if he favors gray flannel suits over tie-dye.
In his own way, he's turning on (even if the hard-drinking Don leaves the acid trips to Roger Sterling). He's tuning in (finally dealing with his past). And he's dropping out (getting ousted from his firm after an ad pitch for Hershey in which he went from celebrating the chocolate bar as "the childhood symbol of love" to sharing boyhood memories of a prostitute who used to reward him with a Hershey bar for rifling through her johns' pockets).
Much gets read into the pre-season ads for a show that's ostensibly about the advertising business. Last season's primary print campaign – an illustration of two Dons going in opposite directions with police and a cab nearby – suggested escape. This year's promo photos also focus on transportation, with some of the characters in an airport and others on a plane.
With the final season split into two seven-episode installments set for his year and next, "Mad Men" is far from over. But there's no escaping that the trip is coming to an end, with the people in Don's life perhaps taking off in different directions as he gets ready, as Joni Mitchell wrote, to look at life from both sides, now.

It can only be described as a victory for democratic rights: an Italian court has ruled against utility company Enel and its desperate bid to silence Greenpeace Italy.
Enel, incensed by an embarrassing analysis of its dirty coal habit, took Greenpeace Italy to court, objecting to a study that revealed the company's coal emissions kill 366 people in Italy every year.
The company then tried to censure Greenpeace Italy with legal action, seeking a court ruling ordering the Greenpeace Italy website detailing Enel's deadly emissions to be taken offline. The lawsuit failed on all counts.
What Enel should have done instead, was face up to the facts of its unhealthy addiction to coal and invest in renewable energy.
It did neither and in a telling blow earlier this month, the Italian court denied Enel's request to shut down Greenpeace Italy's website and noted that Enel had failed to present any facts to dispute the analysis that Greenpeace Italy had used. Greenpeace Italy had even given the company the chance to check the accuracy of its calculations.
In the ruling, however, the judge said the "essential core" of Greenpeace Italy's information was accurate and the "harshness of expressions" used to criticise Enel was justified.
Greenpeace Italy executive director Giuseppe Onufrio put the ruling into its true context, describing it as "a victory for a fundamental democratic principle" – the right to criticise.
Onufrio also said the court ruled that harsh language cannot be censured if it is based on scientifically grounded data and arguments. And the evidence against Enel is alarming.
The calculations Greenpeace Italy used for its campaign were based on data and methodology from the European Environment Agency, the top EU environmental agency. The study looked at air pollution from all industrial facilities in Europe, including Enel's plants.
Greenpeace Italy commissioned Dutch independent research institute SOMO to adapt the methodology of the EU agency to Enel's coal-fired power plants to determine the number of deaths caused by its emissions.
The independent analysis of data showed that, including the deaths in Italy, air pollution from Enel's entire fleet of coal plants brings the number of deaths to more than 1,000 a year in Europe.
The public has a right to know about the huge impacts of Enel's dirty coal emissions.
In 2011, Enel, with carbon dioxide emissions of 36.8 million tonnes, was the major CO2 emitter in Italy, and at 78 million tonnes was the fourth largest emitter in Europe.
The company's CO2 emissions in Italy are equivalent to the total emitted by the steel and concrete producing sectors and about 55% more than what is emitted by the big oil refining groups.
These are facts that Enel wanted to hide. But it doesn't end there.
The analysis also estimated that the damage to Italy from Enel's coal plants amounts to 2 billion euros a year and the annual costs for all of Europe are 4.3 billion euros.
Ultimately, instead of a obtaining a ruling forcing Greenpeace Italy to silence its campaign, Enel ended up being ordered by the court to pay the costs of the hearing.
And this isn't the first time Enel has tried to use legal means to silence its opponents.
The company has previously threatened to sue Greenpeace Italy and Greenpeace International for 1.6 million euros following peaceful protests.
Sadly, demanding huge sums of cash is a preferred route for big companies trying to frighten off its critics.
Greenpeace Italy will not be silenced and is urging Enel to come clean.
Instead of going to court to try to hide its deadly secrets, the company should cut its coal-based production in half by 2020 and get out of coal completely by 2030. Enel should replace coal with clean and renewable sources of electricity.
Italy requires renewable energy, not censorship.
Brian Blomme is a climate and energy communications manager for Greenpeace International.

Woman Impersonates Nurse to Steal Drugs from Seattle Hospital
(SEATTLE) -- Dressed in slacks, a blue blouse and fluent in medical terminology, an unidentified woman walked into the rooms of two patients at the Swedish Medical Center, posing as a nurse. She then cut the tubes connecting them to their pain medications, according to the Seattle Police Department.
The nurse impostor, who police say walked confidently into the patients' rooms without arousing suspicion, is still at large.
On April 13, police said, the suspect entered a patient's room as he slept and tampered with his patient-administered pain medication machine. When the man awoke and asked the suspect what she was doing, she told him she would get his nurse, the police report said.
"When his nurse did come in, she found that the line from the machine to the witness had been cut and that the pain medication was dripping on the floor," the police report said.
Shortly after the first incident, police said a second report came in that the suspect was seen peeking into rooms on another floor and had entered the room of a second patient, whose family was visiting.
When an alarm sounded at the hospital, police said the suspect fled. A family member from the second patient's room reported there was blood on the floor and that the line to her mother's pain medication had been cut, police said.
The phony nurse walked out of the hospital undetected with two feet of tubing in tow, security told police. A nurse advised police that a negligible amount of pain mediation would have been inside the tuning, police said.
Swedish Medical Center notified police four days after the breach, said Det. Mark Jamieson.
He said it was unclear why the hospital waited to notify authorities.
"It's possible there is surveillance video. Our detectives are working with the hospital," he said.
Ed Boyle, spokesman for the hospital, said an internal investigation has been launched into the incident.
"Swedish is and has been working closely with Seattle Police over the course of the last week in hopes of identifying the suspect and preventing any further incidents at Swedish or any other area hospitals," he said in a statement. "Although a delay in reporting the incident to Seattle Police occurred, Swedish security staff continued to investigate the incident."
The suspect is described as a white female in her mid-30s to early 40s with blonde hair that is either shoulder length or pulled back into a pony tail.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Seattle Police Department.
