Executive Chef Jim Butchart serves distinctive bistro food inspired by Colorado's bounty of sustainably raised meats and produce. Guests are treated to innovative dishes such as Colorado lamb Bolognese, house-made charcuterie, pristine raw bar selections and daily specials. Cocktail hour brings out Ajax Tavern's luscious cheese fondue, decadent Ajax truffle fries and other gourmet fare, all complemented by an abundance of fine wines and aperitifs. On Sunday nights, in addition to the a la carte menu, guests can partake in Sunday Night Supper, a prix-fixe menu for the entire table served family style.
Ajax Tavern is open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Reservations are taken for dinner only. Complete parties will be seated for lunch on a first come, first served basis.
Bonnie's restaurant, located on Aspen Mountain (upper mid-mountain), is popular for offerings such as white-bean chili and apple strudel. Its famous two-tiered outdoor deck is a favorite hangout spot. Open for lunch.
Located at the top of the Silver Queen Gondola, this cafeteria-style eatery serves wok fare, pizza, fresh daily stews and soups, specialty salads and sandwiches.

Back in May, I attended the International Food Bloggers Conference in Seattle, Washington. It was the first ever conference just for food bloggers, and was organized by the founders of Foodista, Barnaby Dorfman and Sheri Wetherell.
Foodista is described as "a collaborative project to build the world's largest, highest quality cooking encyclopedia". If you haven't tried it yet, it's like "wikipedia for foodies", and since I'm such a hard core "info junkie" AND food lover, Foodista is definitely one of my favorite online resources.
As a food writer working alone at home most days, Foodista is also an important part of my personal (although virtual) community. I get most of my Foodista updates via Twitter now, where I usually "retweet" and share (recipes or food stories) with my own Twitter followers. Learn more about Foodista (and Twitter) via links below.
When I first read about the International Food Bloggers Conference (IFBC) on Foodista.com, the main thing that caught my eye, was the fact that Gourmet Magazine's Ruth Reichl was the celebrity guest speaker. Like most food lovers, I've read all her books, and was eagerly awaiting (her then) soon-to-be released memoir "Not Becoming My Mother".
Hmmm… a chance to meet Ruth in real life? Without looking like a stalker? The airfare and hotel costs would probably be worth it, just for this opportunity alone!
The book I was reading at the time was Molly Wizenberg's "A Homemade Life" (she's also the author of Orangette.com), so when I saw her name on the weekend roster as well, I thought, "that's it… I have to attend IFBC!"
But here's the thing… I HATE conferences. I make fun of conferences. I make fun of people that go to conferences. I especially hated when I was forced to go to them for work. The only thing I probably dislike more than a conference, is a committee. One of my favorite quotes being, "as useless as a committee". I would think to myself, "why would I want to sit in a room full of women (or men) talking about one subject? Why not just google?".
Okay, you get it… I'm just not a "conference" type of gal. Or at least I used to NOT be. Foodista's IFBC changed it all for me. It wasn't a stuffy, "all women only" (also not for me), large venue type of event. The organizers (Sheri and Barnaby) really put on a thoughtful, relaxing and FUN weekend in Seattle.
The actual conference was held at the beautiful "Sanctuary at Admiral", a restored historical building (from 1929), located in West Seattle. It was two stellar days filled with food writers, photographers, technology pros and, of course, lots of FOOD (and wine!).
A few IFBC topics (that I was most excited about) were: "Food Porn – Food Photography & Styling", "Blogging As A Career" and "Blog to Book – Getting Your Writing On Paper". The latter in which Molly Wizenberg was on panel. She was so warm, informative and refreshingly humble. I was already a fan BEFORE meeting her, but I probably elevated myself to "Molly Groupie" afterwards.
One of the sessions that I thought would be boring, "Passionate Purveyors & Producers", was far from it! I was especially captivated by Karl Kupers of Shepherd's Grain, when he spoke about the "Find the Farmer" project. It's a website that traces flour from farm to table. Cool, right?
The IFBC nights were fantastic as well. Friday evening's welcome party was held in a funky, old building near Safeco Field, home to the Mariners. Lots of wine, food (oh, the fresh oysters!) and more wine!
On Saturday evening, it was all about Ruth Reichl. We all gathered at the Pan Pacific Hotel to hear the legendary writer read from her new book. It was just a wonderful, inspirational gathering, and the highlight of the weekend for me!
My good friend Afaf was my traveling companion for the trip, and we were both so happy to finally meet Charles Thompson, another L.A. based food blogger. It turns out that Charles knew my husband Peter from years back (they both work in movies), so the three of us (Afaf, myself and Charles) quickly bonded during the weekend in Seattle. We had two fabulous dinners out (that I'll post soon), and we even squeezed in a sneaky, quick getaway to the Seattle Cheese Festival on Sunday morning.
There were so many nice folks at the conference (I can say that "c" word without grimacing now!), and it's been fantastic keeping in touch with several on a regular basis. Here's a shout out to a few of my daily Twitter pals that I met at IFBC: @Inuyaki, @PlumpestPeach and Washington's own @PassionForEating … who just so happened to visit me for a wild night (with her family) in L.A. recently!
I know for sure I'll be going to IFBC again, and hopefully we'll have a large L.A. group attending the next one. It was a treat to get out of my "virtual" community (internet & twitter) and actually spend time with my fellow food lovers in person. It just took a special type of conference, like Foodista, to make me appreciate it!
As you can tell, Foodista isn't just the "wikipedia of food" for me. They've also been a solid support for the growth of my blog. If you're lucky enough to be named Foodista's "Blog of the Day", just sit back, smile and watch your page hits skyrocket!
A couple of week's ago, Foodista co-founder Barnaby Dorfman emailed me and asked if I'd like to be photographed for the New York Times. The article would feature Foodista as well as other web-based recipe sites. Soon after, New York Times reporter Kim Severson called and she interviewed me via the phone. Two days after that, photographer Axel Koester was in my kitchen, taking countless pictures of me making bacon-wrapped breadsticks.
The article was published yesterday… online and in print, and my husband was so excited he got up early and bought twenty copies for family and friends. I'm framing a copy for the kitchen of course, and am just so grateful to Foodista for even thinking of me! For all your support, kindness, guidance and generosity… THANK YOU!

What just happened?
That's the reaction shared by more than a few of us after Wednesday's frantic Stage 2 Re-Entry Draft saw the rights to 11 players change hands in less than five minutes. Then the aftermath saw another three players move, and there's undoubtedly more to come as MLS teams keep reshaping their rosters.
There have been bigger rashes of player movement over one day in league history – take the multiple Expansion Drafts, Roster Deadline day in 2008 that saw more than a dozen players switch teams and, oh yeah, the inaugural draft in 1996 when 160 soccer players joined MLS in less than 24 hours.
But it's rare to see a collection of such noted players – Golden Boot winners, team captains, US national-teamers, Best XI selections, MLS Cup champions and more – move so quickly in such a short span of time.
How to analyze this? It's not easy – there's no precedent for the Re-Entry Process, a stipulation of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. So looking for sage pundit advice is almost pointless. But we can break down the immediate response and take a closer look at some of the fallout by consulting the news wire of the 21st century: Twitter.
[inline_node:308775]@thechad172: The #MLSReEntry Draft might be my new favorite part of the MLS offseason. 3 months worth of free agency in 3 minutes? Yes please! #MLS
Amen, brother. It may still be a little dizzifying for most of us, but between Wednesday's Stage 2 and last week's Stage 1, we had two full rounds of teams getting a chance to select players in a combined less than 10 minutes.
As much fun as it is to dissect the NFL Draft, the excruciating wait between picks is akin to watching paint dry – while waiting for grass to grow and passing the time by reading Tolstoy. We may still not know what hit us, but we'll take it.
@Seitzy1: Why hello there seattle
And goodbye, Emerald City. Seitz was officially a Sounder for all of four hours before Seattle turned around and dealt him to FC Dallas. That encapsulated the madness of the day better than anything. In one day, the onetime heir-apparent to Nick Rimando at Real Salt Lake passed through three team's rosters – to become the heir-apparent to Kevin Hartman in Frisco.
Seitz is still just 23 and has plenty of time to develop, but he took a step backwards toward the end of the season in Philadelphia. A new start in Dallas behind arguably the best 'keeper MLS has ever had will do him a world of good.
@Morgan_Hughes: #crew96 getting jeff cunningham and stern john back in the black and gold means we could see lord GBS back in columbus in 5-7 years. #jokes
[inline_node:325027]Can't disagree here. Brian Bliss and Robert Warzycha ditched four players last month who were all in the their mid- to late 30s: Guillermo Barros Schelotto, Frankie Hejduk, Gino Padula and Duncan Oughton.
The Crew brass swore up and down they needed to get younger and spoke of handing the keys to the younger guys to begin a new era in Columbus. Two straight first-round exits from the MLS Cup Playoffs against lower seeds often will prompt a team to do that.
But picking the 34-year-old Cunningham? I scratched my head a bit on this one, too. The sentimental value of bringing the original Crew man back to C-bus isn't lost on anyone. And watching Cunningham likely set the mark for the all-time scoring record in Crew Stadium could be a fun moment for Crew fans, many of who still haven't gotten over Brian McBride picking another team for his return to MLS.
Still, this still doesn't add up to me, even if Bliss sees Cunningham as a part-time striker who can score "nine or 10 goals," as the GM said Wednesday. I don't doubt Cunningham could do it, but this is a strange message to send to the fans, more of whom have bought into the "get younger" manifesto than you'd think.
@shinguardian: Galaxy starting to look like a little Celtics like here....Cobbling together star vets (JPA, 'Dinho?) for sure MLS Cup win year?
Agreed – to a point. Shinguardian is, of course, referring to the NBA team stockpiling aging stars like they're on the sale rack at Urban Outfitters. And it worked for them, didn't it? Boston won the 2008 NBA Finals and then made a return trip this past year. So what if they're longer in the tooth? Celtics fans aren't complaining.
And Galaxy fans shouldn't, either. Dealing promising young forward Tristan Bowen across the hall to Chivas USA might have been a little alarming. But this is perhaps the most striking sign so far that MLS is maturing into a big American sporting league – salary caps quite often force teams in all sports to go for broke, because you never know if you'll get another shot at a title.
David Beckham, Juan Pablo Angel and the growing assortment of veterans in LA are certainly not young. (And slow down there on the Ronaldinho talk, Shinny.) But if they lead the Galaxy to a third MLS Cup next November, few will be sweating betting the future for the present. Our pal Alexi Lalas probably tweeted that strategy best on Wednesday:
@alexilalas22: Galaxy go all in for 2011.
Any interest in donning a Galaxy kit again, Big Red?

Diversity Win: Every Oscar Category has a Single Token Minority
The Oscars have come under a lot of fire in recent years for their clear, obvious bias towards white actors. During the 2015 and 2016 Oscars, not a single actor of color was nominated for an award. Fortunately, that has changed with this year's award show.
Thanks to grassroots pressure from people outside the Academy, the Oscars have finally begun to include a single token black person in each category, allowing them to appease their audiences while still maintaining their own racial biases. Even though there are still no other racial minorities included in the Academy Awards, such as Asian Americans or Latinos, this is an enourmous diversity victory.
Even though there are still no other racial minorities included in the Academy Awards, such as Asian Americans or Latinos, this is an enourmous diversity victory.
Almost every award has nominated one or even TWO black people, who probably won't win anything and are only there to keep the audience quiet. Denzel Washington was nominated for best leading actor for his performance in Fences. Ruth Negga for best leading actress in Loving. Progressive! Never mind that every single other person in those categories is as white as incest snow.
Even though there are still absolutely zero Latino Americans or Asian Americans nominated for an acting award, the Oscars are truly proving to the American public how committed they are to our national values of diversity and inclusion. Racism is dead!
But don't worry, conservatives. Even though the Academy is clearly listening to the American people and doing the bare minimum to prove they aren't racist, they're holding true to some of their original values. Many of the less well-known categories, such as costume design and sound editing, still are based around heavily white-centered films.
It's clear that the Oscars are working hard to change for the better. They've shown a clear devotion to diversity by including a single minority in some categories. That's the kind of progress that proves that this country is changing for the better.
WATCH: Being in Business School is actually really really hard you guys.

Buhaina's Delight - Art Blakey And The Jazz Messen
Label: BLUE NOTE
Catalog: 0838208
Format: LP
Drums - Art Blakey
Backstage Sally Contemplation Bu's Delight Reincarnation Blues Shaky Jake Moon River
Arguably the finest lineup of the Jazz Messengers (with the possible exception of the Lee Morgan edition), this incarnation of the band -- Blakey, saxophonist Wayne Shorter (here playing tenor), young trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, trombonist Curtis Fuller, pianist Cedar Walton, and bassist Jymie Merritt -- set the tone for the hard bop movement of the '60s. This release features six classic modern-jazz icons and four alternate takes. Starting with Shorter's "Backstage Sally," the band jump into a happy, staccato horn chart and the groove-style shuffle that was their signature sound. Shorter's tenor-led ballad "Contemplation" finds the brassmen solidly behind him as he unleashes a breathtaking solo, while the Fuller-penned "Bu's Delight" is a supersonic hard bopper featuring Blakey's cage-rattling drum breaks and a formidable Walton solo. Written and led by Shorter, "Reincarnation Blues" is another good swinger, with counterpoint and unison lines sprinkled in together. The stunner of the set is Walton's "Shaky Jake," a low, moaning melody with deep-blue harmony soaring over a groove shuffle. On "Moon River," a frisky bopper featuring substantial solos from Hubbard and Fuller and a joyous arrangement modified from the original blue waltz, the song's staggered phrases are introduced and interrupted by drum breaks. The second takes of "Moon River" and "Backstage Sally" are fairly close to the first takes, while the alternate versions of "Reincarnation Blues" and "Bu's Delight" run one to two minutes shorter than the originals. Overall, you won't find a better representation of what modern mainstream jazz sounds like. Blakey and his band are on it from start to finish.
Price: $39.98

Get your PCBs made
From DP
Under construction: PCB making guide
There are many inexpensive PCB services around. Seeed Studio (our preferred) and ITead Studio make two-sided PCBs with the works starting at $1 per 5x5cm PCB. Both use the same prototyping PCB factory in Shenzhen China. Turnaround is fast, shipping starts at $3.
Others like DorkBotBox, BatchPCB, etc. pool up multiple orders and send them to the fab. Laen at DorkBotPBX offers purple PCBs that have been quite popular.
We wanted to write a tutorial on how to get your PCB manufactured using these cheap services from source Eagle files.
Check for airwires
Before proceeding it is smart to check if all yore connections are on the board. To do this you'll need the zoom-unrouted script.
- Download the zoom-unrouted.ulp
- Run it. (File > Run... > zoom-unrouted.ulp)
- Connect the air-wire, if any is found.
- Re-Run the script, and keep repeating until no air-wires are found.
Design rule check
Before sending your files to be manufactured you have make sure your design is within the specifications of the PCB service you will be using. To help you with this, the associated PCB service provides Design Rule Check files for Eagle. Grab a design rule file from your prefered PCB maker:
To run a DRC follow these steps:
- Open your PCB layout in Eagle
- Go to Tools > DRC... A DRC window will open from which you can load the manufacturers .dru file you previously downloaded. From this window you can also make adjustment to the various design specifications like minimum trace width (Sizes > Minimum Width), and trace clearance (Clearance). It is usually a good idea to increase these two settings a few mils if your board doesn't require absolute minimum the board house can produce.
- Once you've set it up just click (Check).
The DRC will scan your board and log all the errors on your board that go outside the scope of the specifications. By clicking on various log entries the portion of the board where they occur will be zoomed in, and the error in question highlighted. You go through them one by one. Once you've fixed all the errors you simply re-run the DRC again and check if everything is alright.
Generate gerbers
Once you are sure your board is electrically sound, and that it falls within the manufacturing specifications of your PCB service you need to generate files that the manufacturer can use for production. These files are called Gerbers. To generate them PCB manufacturers provide a .CAM file.
Grab the CAM file for your preferred PCB maker:
To actualy build gerbers from your board you have to start the CAM processor, by going to File > CAM Processor. A CAM Processor window will pop-up. Go to File > Open > Job... and point to the previously downloaded .cam file. Once it is loaded, just click on the process job button. And the gerber files will be saved in the same directory your source Eagle files are.
The generated files are representations of various layers the manufacturer requires for building PCBs. The files you need to manufacture your boards are:
|Top Copper
|Top Silkscreen
|Top Soldermask
|Bottom Copper
|Bottom Silkscreen
|Bottom Soldermask
|Routing and Drill
Preview gerbers
Check the files before sending them to the PCB house. To view them you'll need a Gerber viewer. Here are some free ones:
- example
- example
We use ViewPlot, and here is how to set it up to view your files. After installing it, start it up. Then go to File > Load Files, select the 7 above mentioned files, and click "Open". A window with a list of the files will pop-up, click "OK". Another pop up screen will show up, here you need to select the "Leading zero suppression" radio button, and select "2 4", and then click OK. You should get a similar image to the one below. From there you can scroll through the layers in the lower left corner drop down menu.
Zip up the files
Put it in an archive. We include a readme.txt with....
For Seeed Studio and Itead order the PCB online and email the files. BatchPCB has a web interface, DorkBotPCX has XXXXX.
Get your boards
In our experience, services take about this long:
- Seeed Studio
- ITead Studio
- DorkBotPBX
- BatchPCB
Seeed and ITead offer cheaper boards if you only test 50% of them. The tested boards will be wrapped in masking tape and/or marked on the side with a marker.
How to inspect the board, what to look for (via alignment, shorts, missing traces, etc, example images from the forum).

The overlook platform where a boy fell into the exhibit home to African painted dogs is seen at the Pittsburgh Zoo on Nov. 5, 2012.
The fatal mauling of a toddler by African wild dogs at the Pittsburgh Zoo highlights an uncomfortable truth for all zoos: No exhibit is fail-proof.
Striking a balance between providing a safe and yet authentic experience is an evolving science on its own, with the ultimate goal being to protect both animals and visitors, said Doug Warmolts, Director of Animal Care at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.
"Short of putting everything behind glass and solid barriers, it's hard to make everything absolutely safe," Warmolts said. "People's expectations when they come to a zoo or aquarium are to have a meaningful experience where they have that connection with the animals, and it's hard to do that if they're looking through a chain-link fence."
Gene J. Puskar / AP file
An African Painted Dog yawns at the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium in Pittsburgh as he lays in a pile of hay Thursday, March 12, 2009.
Maddock Derkosh, 2, fell into an African painted dog exhibit late Sunday morning at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. The boy's mother had put him on a wooden railing at the edge of a viewing deck to see the animals, officials said, and the boy fell into the exhibit. He initially landed on the netting below the deck but bounced several times before dropping about 11 feet into the dog's enclosure.

Witnesses said at least three dogs surrounded quickly, attacking him at his head, neck and legs. An autopsy revealed Monday that the boy was killed by the animals, not by the fall.
The exhibit housing the wild dogs remained closed Tuesday pending an investigation by police, who said it was still too early to determine whether criminal charges will be brought against the zoo or the boy's mother. The zoo opened for visitors Tuesday.
Accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums in September – the gold standard for zoos in the U.S. – the zoo met or exceeded all safety standards for animals and visitors, Mary Baker, the zoo's president and CEO, said Monday.
Warmolts said exhibits at accredited zoos are designed by architecture, engineering and design firms that understand zoo animals' behavior, from their abilities to jump, climb and dig to how to properly care and set standards for them in a zoo setting.
"We have to blend those together to create an exhibit that's not only a suitable and enriching environment for the animals and a safe experience for people to feel immersed into that environment," Warmolts said.
"We have fences and barriers and moats and signs and even zoo staff that can keep visitors at a certain distance from the animals. That's why what happened is very rare. But we can't always monitor them," he said.
In San Diego, officials said the incident in Pittsburgh is likely to prompt larger, industry-wide reassessments.
"The way humans interact with animals has changed drastically over the last hundred years, so certainly one of the things that zoos have had to be is highly adaptive, especially in these situations when tragic accidents happen," Christina Simmons, a spokesperson for the San Diego Zoo, told NBC News.

In Chicago, officials at the Brookfield Zoo said Monday that the events at the Pittsburgh Zoo have so far not prompted the change of any of their practices or protocols.
"We have, like all other accredited institutions, procedures and policies that we follow in the event of an accident -- even a person having a heart attack -- and we also drill on those events too," said Bill Zeigler, the Brookfield Zoo's Senior Vice President of Collections and Animal Programs.
Even with safety standards enforced, Wamolts said, the zoo industry is constantly dealing with "human error" by its visitors.
"What happened is very rare," Warmolts said. "We're always in the process of evaluating and reviewing and making adjustments as needed, and it's an art to try and determine how to do that. What's more common is people exhibiting inappropriate behavior. It's just unfortunate."
Medical examiners say a 2-year-old boy who fell into a Pennsylvania zoo exhibit was killed by the dogs and not by the fall. WPXI's Cara Sapida reports.

When Sega first released Virtua Fighter 5 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, it entertained the masses with its slick animation engine, quality 3D backdrops, and elegant fighting style. The 360 version came with extensive online fighting options, making it a clear-cut winner — for the time being — with players who earned their skills in the arcade. Since that time, fighting games have moved on extensively, between Capcom's crossover brawling affairs and Midway's rebooted Mortal Kombat. Now Sega is eager to get back into the ring with a new version of Virtua Fighter — one that offers a number of new options and a much cheaper price. We recently got a chance to try it out at the company's Digital Day event in San Francisco.
First off, most of the options that were in the original game are present in the Final Showdown expansion. You'll find all the modes included, along with a Practice Dojo. Here, you'll attempt to complete objectives and master moves using one of the game's numerous characters. It's a great mode to simply pass the time with or perfect your skills before you head online to take on the world.
Yes, for the first time in the series (the original game didn't offer it), Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown will bring online play to the PlayStation Network. (It'll be compatible with Xbox Live Arcade as well.) The game will introduce a great new matchmaking feature, where you won't always be paired up against those who could thrash you in a heartbeat with the drunken Shun Di. Instead, it carefully examines your skill level and pairs you up against someone with an equal set-up, so you stand a better chance of winning the match. You'll still have a fight on your hands, though, so be ready.
Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown's cast of characters is quite the delight. A lot of old favorites return, including the leather-clad Sarah Bryant, still as sexy as ever; the traditional brawler Akira, who also appears in Dead Or Alive 5 (obviously, he's much more natural here); the crazy Shun Di, who powers up with a new move every time he takes a swig from his bottle; and the returning Taka-Arashi, a Sumo wrestler who first debuted in Virtua Fighter 3. A new character, Jean Kujo, also joins the fracas, bringing a number of charge moves that make him devastating.
For a downloadable fighter, Virtua Fighter 5 looks razor sharp. The environments are somehow better than in the previous retail version, though the animations continue to be spot on, from Sarah's spin kick to some of Shun Di's more ridiculous grabs. It's a polished engine, and the best Virtua Fighter we've seen to date. The audio is still what it is, with voices that either fit a character or make them sound worse (at least Sarah sounds nice) and decent background music.
But gameplay is the main draw here, and we're happy to report it's completely intact. During the demonstration, Sega broke out the deluxe fighting sticks to show just how dedicated the game is. It feels just right, between setting up Sarah's lightning kick attacks and Wolf's crazy wrestling moves. We didn't have a problem executing any of the moves, even in the thick of a versus battle. Granted, your performance may vary if you're using a regular Xbox 360 controller, but fighting fans will feel right at home here.
Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown is yet another awesome release in Sega's digital library, and one that fighting fans will definitely want to save some time for when it debuts this summer.

Jesse James said he cheated on "perfect" wife Sandra Bullock with multiple women because his father used to beat and emotionally abuse him as a child, leading him to think he didn't deserve to live a fairy-tale life.
"I've basically never felt good enough for anyone," the 45-year-old bad boy motorcycle mechanic and reality star told ABC's Vicki Mabrey Tuesday in his first TV interview since a cheating scandal tore apart his marriage.
In the interview, James acknowledged stepping out with more than one woman but said the count "doesn't matter."
He said once news of an affair with a tattoo model hit the tabloids he sat Bullock down and told her "basically everything."
"I think she's had her suspicions in the past," James said. "But I lied my way out of it. I lied to everyone about everything -- even to myself."
U.S. & World
He said he used to rationalize his cheating ways by thinking the "Blind Side" star would "find out what I am anyway and leave me anyway."
Bombarded by paparazzi, James fled to a Tucson facility for sexual addiction and anger management treatment where he learned his issues ran deeper, he said.
"After about two days I realized, 'Wow, I'm kind of more messed up than most of the people here.' It was like peeling an onion," James said. "Every day it was a new revelation about myself and the things I've been doing. I cried more in rehab in the last 30 days than I have in my whole life. No BS. That's the truth."
Over the course his monthlong stint in treatment, James said he realized he "never had a chance to be a kid" because his father used to "terrorize" him. (James' father denied all abuse allegations to ABC News in an email).
"He beat my ass pretty good a bunch of times," James said. "I just remember, like, clinched teeth, [a] strained-neck look on his face."
James became overcome with emotion when describing one incident in detail, and then briefly halted the "Nightline" interview to regain his composure.
At age seven, James said, his father chased him in the dark until he fell and broke his arm. Afterward his father laughed and called him a "dummy."
"I was a terrorized kid and, I mean, it's really tough for me to think about now because ...[my son] Sunny is the age that I was when my dad broke my arm," James said tearfully.
The psychic damage from James' childhood later manifested through infidelity and other destructive behavior, he said.
"I don't think I have a sex addiction where I'm running around trying to have sex with everyone and I can't stop," James said. "I think I do things to sabotage my life, including having extramarital affairs, texting, overworking myself, injuring myself, doing stunts and stupid things. I think I do a lot of things in my life that I shouldn't be doing that aren't conducive to being a perfect husband, you know, and the affairs are just one of them."
Despite breaking Bullock's heart and the divorce being "100 percent" on, James said he still has hopes of the pair reconciling. He said he wants to earn forgiveness and become a "decent person."
"If you can squint and visualize that, that's the basis for recovery," James said.

"Isolation booths" mimic treatment of prisoners
Paul Joseph Watson
November 29, 2012
Concerns that schools are becoming more and more like prisons have been bolstered by the revelation that numerous school districts are using "isolation booths" to place unruly children in solitary confinement as a punishment for bad behavior.
The controversy erupted after concerned mother Ana Bate found out from her son that Mint Valley Elementary School in Longview, Washington was using a padded isolation chamber to deal with students with "behavioral disabilities". Bate obtained photos of the isolation box and posted them on Facebook, prompting outrage and interest from local media.
The school claims the isolation box is a "therapeutic booth" and that only children with special needs and parental permission are placed inside. However, Candace Dawson told KATU.com that her son was put inside the booth without her permission.
"He said that's the naughty room," Dawson told KATU News. "That's what he called it. He said when kids are naughty they get put in there." Dawson filed a formal complaint yesterday.
KATU also received a separate letter from another mother saying her child was also put inside the box without her permission.
The isolation box is also in use at dozens of other school districts in the local region, including Hillsboro, Battle Ground and Reynolds.
Bate's son told his mother he was "distraught" at being forced to sit near the booth for 4 hours as a punishment for "roughhousing" on the playground. During that time, he said he saw several other children being placed inside, suggesting the use of the box is commonplace and not in extreme circumstances as the law in Oregon and Washington mandates.
"[He was] thinking it was scary, it was abusive, are they gonna do this to me?" Bate told KATU.
The isolation box is not a far cry from solitary confinement that is used in jails as a punishment for dangerous prisoners. Although the children are placed inside the box for a limited time, the psychological effect is far more likely to be damaging than "therapeutic," as the school claims.
Solitary confinement is considered by many to be a form of psychological torture. Both the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch have warned that solitary confinement is traumatic for young people. Studies into solitary confinement used in prisons have found the method to be "counter-productive" and have noted that it actually increases violent tendencies.
Forcing children to go into solitary confinement, in some cases without parental permission, is another example of how schools are beginning to resemble prisons to a greater and greater degree.
From surveillance cameras in school bathrooms, to palm-scanning for school meals, in addition to regular police drug raids, schools are increasingly being used not just for education but indoctrination – teaching children that they are prisoners of the state and acclimatizing them to being constantly spied on and subjecting them to prisoner training.
"If you feel like you have to lock a child up, they shouldn't be in public school," Ana Bate told KATU. "I don't think it gets any clearer than that."

From low-distortion embeddings to information locking
Speaker(s): Patrick Hayden
Abstract: I'll describe a connection between uncertainty relations, information locking and low-distortion embeddings of L2 into L1. Exploiting this connection leads to the first explicit construction of entropic uncertainty relations for a number of measurements that is polylogarithmic in the dimension d while achieving an average measurement entropy of (1-e) log d for arbitrarily small e. From there, it is straightforward to obtain the first strong information locking scheme that is efficiently computable using a quantum computer. This locking scheme can be interpreted as a method for encrypting classical messages using a key of size much smaller than the message length. Other applications include efficient encodings for amortized quantum identification over classical channels and new string commitment protocols.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — A jury was selected Wednesday in the child molestation scandal that brought down Joe Paterno, and the makeup of the panel left no doubt this is Penn State country.
The seven women and five men who will hear opening statements on Monday in the case against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky include an engineering administrative assistant at Penn State, a dance teacher in the school's continuing education program and a professor who has been on the faculty for 24 years.
They also include a Penn State senior, a retired soil sciences professor with 37 years at the university, a man with bachelor's and master's degrees from the school and a woman who's been a football season ticket holder since the 1970s.
One of four alternate jurors was selected Wednesday, a woman in her 30s who graduated from Penn State in 2007 with a degree in human development. Three more alternates remain to be picked, and a prosecutor said he thought those selections could be finished Wednesday afternoon.
The selection process moved swiftly even though the rural area is rich with Penn State employees, alumni and fans. The judge, however, said Penn State connections would not automatically disqualify potential jurors, so long as they could pledge to be impartial.
Sandusky faces a total of 52 counts involving 10 alleged victims over a 15-year span. He has denied the allegations, and defense lawyer Joseph Amendola's potential witness list has seven Sandusky family members on it, including his wife, Dottie, and two sons.
Amendola on Wednesday asked again for a delay, alleging that an ABC News report saying that the accuser identified in court papers as Victim 4 would be the first witness violated the gag order Judge John Cleland issued in April. Cleland denied Amendola's request.
The lawyers who will argue the case said on the way into the courthouse Wednesday they were happy with the process so far.
During a midday break, lead prosecutor Joseph McGettigan, a senior deputy attorney general, said "So far, so good," on way to smoking a cigarette at a picnic table outside the courthouse.
Amendola arrived with Sandusky just after 8:15 a.m. and told reporters he was confident the nine jurors picked on Tuesday would give them a "fair shake." Sandusky himself did not say anything as he entered the building in Bellefonte, about 12 miles from the university where he once worked.
But he displayed the most emotion yet during the two-day selection process during a break Wednesday. Sandusky turned to two media representatives in the room and asked rhetorically, "What did you guys do to deserve me?" He chuckled before adding, "How did you guys get stuck with this?"
Besides the panelists with ties to Penn State, jurors include a 24-year-old man with plans to attend auto technician school, a mother of two who works in retail, a retired school bus driver, an engineer with no Penn State ties and a property management firm employee.
But the breadth of Penn State connections was evident again in the second day of jury selection, an exhaustive process done in phases. Groups of 40 were questioned at a time, and those who weren't excused from that portion were then questioned individually to finally determine if they can be seated.
Of the 40 initially questioned Wednesday, 10 indicated they worked at Penn State. Nineteen indicated either they or a close family member had volunteered or financially contributed to the university.
Fifteen said they knew someone on the prosecution's witness list, while 20 knew someone on Sandusky's defense list. Eighteen indicated they had jobs or other responsibilities in which they were legally required to report instances of alleged child abuse.
Sandusky was quiet in court during this phase early Wednesday, leafing through a binder with plastic-covered pages and pausing at times when Cleland commented from the bench.
More than 600 jury duty summonses were sent out to residents in Centre County, the home of Penn State University's main campus.
Sandusky's lawyer won the right to have jurors chosen from the local community, and prosecutors had concerns that Centre County might prove to be nearly synonymous with Penn State.
All the jurors will have to say under oath they can be impartial.
Besides Sandusky family members, other names on the defense's potential witness list include the widow and son of Joe Paterno, the late Hall of Fame football coach who was dismissed by university trustees in the aftermath of Sandusky's arrest.
Assistant coach Mike McQueary and his father are also on the defense witness list.
Mike McQueary, on leave from the team, has said he saw Sandusky naked in a team shower with a young boy more than a decade ago and reported it to Paterno. Mike McQueary is also on the prosecution's list, along with young men who have accused Sandusky of abusing them.

sustainable uprising
Thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators have poured into Cairo's Tahrir (Liberation) Square as protests against Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, entered their 15th day despite a slew of concessions announced by the government. Tens of thousands of protesters have also come out on the streets in Alexandria, Egypt's second largest city. There were also reports of a protest outside the parliament building in the capital. Witnesses said protesters had pitched a tent in front of the building and are likely to stay there. According to Hoda Abdel-Hamid, Al Jazeera's correspondent in the Egyptian capital, the crowd at Tahrir Square grew rapidly on Tuesday afternoon, with many first-timers joining protesters seeking Mubarak's immediate ouster. The newcomers said they had been inspired in part by the release of Wael Ghonim, the Google executive, after what he said was two weeks of detention by state security authorities.Ghonim was the person behind a page called "We are all Khaled Said" on the social networking site Facebook, which is being credited for helping spark the uprising in Egypt."I came here for the first time today because this cabinet is a failure, Mubarak is still meeting the same ugly faces ... he can't believe it is over. He is a very stubborn man," Afaf Naged, a former member of the board of directors of the state-owned National Bank of Egypt, said.
"I am also here because of Wael Ghonim. He was right when he said the NDP [ruling National Democratic Party] is finished. There is no party left, but they don't want to admit it," she said.
Amr Fatouh, a surgeon, said he had joined the protests for the first time as well.
"I hope people will continue and more people will come. At first, people did not believe the regime would fall but that is changing," he said.
Another Al Jazeera journalist, reporting from the square, said the protesters' resolve seemed very high. Many said they would not leave until their demands are met.
The determined protesters have reportedly composed a 'revolution anthem' to boost morale.
Meanwhile, about 20 lawyers have petitioned Abdel Meguid Mahmoud, the country's prosecutor general, to try Mubarak and his family for allegedly stealing state wealth.
Ibrahim Yosri, a lawyer and a former deputy foreign minister, has drafted the petition.
Constitutional reforms
But Mubarak's message has thus far been that he will not leave until his term expires in September.
However in a statement made on Egyptian state television on Tuesday, Omar Suleiman, the country's vice-president, said that a plan was in place for the peaceful transfer of power.
He annouced formation of two independent committees for political and constitutional reforms. Suleiman said that one committee would carry out constitutional and legislative amendments to enable a shift of power while a separate committee will be set up to monitor the implementation of all proposed reforms. The two committees will start working immediately, he said.Suleiman stressed that demonstrators will not be prosecuted and that a separate independent fact-finding committee would be established to probe the violence on February 2.
The government had offered on Monday a pay rise to public-sector workers, but the pro-democracy camp said the government had conceded little ground in trying to end the current crisis.
"[The pay rise] doesn't mean anything," Sherif Zein, a protester at Tahrir Square told Al Jazeera on Tuesday.
"Maybe it will be a short-term release for the workers ... but most of the people will realise what this is, it's just a tablet of asprin, but it's nothing meaningful."
Beyond Tahrir Square, life has been slowly getting back to normal in other parts of Cairo with some shops and banks reopening.
Tourism sector affected
However, the country's tourism sector is still suffering, with the area around the famed pyramids remaining closed. The Credit Agricole bank says the protests are costing Egypt more than $300m a day.
"There is a lot of popular public sentiments in Cairo and wider Egypt regarding what those protesters are trying to achieve but at the same time, people are trying to get back to live as normal lives as possible," our correspondent said.

Boise State's heralded football team will move from the WAC to the Mountain West Conference, effective this fall, and the Broncos have already started to make friends. San Diego State's head coach, who I'm told is a guy named Rocky Long, is already whining about the famous blue turf in Boise's home digs.
Rocky Long? That can't be right, can it?
"I think they ought to get rid of that blue turf. I think it's unfair," said Long, the former New Mexico coach who is in his first season as the Aztecs' head coach.
When asked to expand, Long said, "it takes the visiting team a quarter or two to get used to that different field."
Long said players "track the ball differently" on the blue turf, particularly since Boise State traditionally wears all-blue uniforms on the blue turf.
I honestly haven't watched enough games at Bronco Stadium to really weigh in with an educated opinion, but if the field is flat and the players are standing up, what difference could the color of the turf possibly make? My only gripe is that it would be harder to visually pick up dog debris. You'd need a pencil just to get that stuff out of your cleats.

Don't Pop Your Cork on Mondays!: The Children's Anti-stress Book
Landmark Editions, 1988 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 48 pages
Explores the causes and effects of stress and offers practical approaches and techniques for dealing with stress in daily life.
What people are saying - Write a review
Bar none, "Don't Pop Your Cork on Monday's, by Adolp Moyer has been my finest "go to book" for my psychology patients and my own children for the past 30 yrs. Bc of its length, I've read it in 3 parts esp to preschool children. ALL ages NEED to SEE, then NEVER forget, the clever illustrations which are inextricably linked to make this book experience so powerful and UNFORGETTABLE ! In this small treasure, Dr. Moyer defines good and bad stress, how to identifying stress in ourselves and others, and when to "lie low." The situations are real but hilarious. Then, Dr. Moyer takes his readers to beautiful places with useful de-stressing techniques. Over the years, I've used Dr. Moyer'. books with preschoolers through senior professionals! The attorneys were often the most initially resistant, then its greatest advocate! One attorney/Partner bought a copy for all of his staff at Christmas. He would periodically "test" his staff and say, e.g., "duck," and his staff present would put their hands over their bellies and take deep breaths! Then all laughed. Interestingly, stress levels in office went way down while productivity levels noticibly increaced!
Dr Moyer's others books on emotions were also excellent. E.g., one Lilly's boy with major anger problems would carry the "Monster" against his chest, and would repeat, "I don't want to let the monster out...!" There were some children who experienced severe grief. Dr. Moyer's book on Grief helped the child and the entire family! --in many cases! Reading this this a small group of children is a gentle way to get them to learn and talk about their grief! (And how some had "stuffed" their grief and their feelings were coming out often as anger and behavior.
Dear Dr. Moyer and your creative illustrator, THANK YOU!!!
From a grateful colleague and thousands of "non cork poppers,
Dr. Teresa A. Upton, Ph.D. *** (I wish these books could be reprinted at a lower more affordable price.

It's understandable that you'd like a little more formal scheduling to your casual sex, but remember that the guy reads X-rays and MRIs, not minds. When you need medical attention – or certain attention from a certain medical professional – you need to make that known, same as you would with a friend: Don't be so available on a moment's notice and also ask him to make advance plans. (Enough with this "Undress and put on a robe; the doctor will be with you shortly.")
An apple a day…mainly keeps the creditors away from the apple growers. To keep this doctor away, let on that you're longing to use him as a boyfriend instead of just for sex. The thing is, this seems like exactly the right time for you to have exactly the wrong man. Having your sex life staffed up can help you avoid any temptation to get into a relationship, and you can instead figure out and fix whatever led you to be in a 10-year emotionally abusive thing. You may ultimately find casual sex too upsetting, but understanding where your feelings are coming from might help you intellectualize your way out of letting them rule you. Regularly reviewing all the ways this guy's wrong for you is another way to put the meaningless back into meaningless sex. Remember, the only aisle you should be walking down with him is the one between your bed and your dresser.

How much information do you believe Facebook (FB) has on you? What about Google (GOOG) and LinkedIn (LNKD). A lot, clearly. These websites track our every click, adding the information to a gigantic and ever-growing database.
Of course big data collection goes beyond internet usage, it follows your consumer purchases, travel plans, television shows, and much more, making it nearly impossible to be illusive.
To what end? Why should I care?
The collection of data makes it easy for a computer to compile and spit out a thorough description of your life: hobbies, personal and professional interests, religious beliefs, family associations, and more.
Disturbingly, buying a certain combination of products triggers the type of promotions you receive, which are based on some very intimate predictions data collectors make about you.
This was highlighted in a New York Times article by Charles Duhigg that featured Andrew Pole, a Target (TGT) statistician helping the retail giant identify pregnant customers, even if they were trying to keep it secret. "Pole's computers," Duhigg writes, "are able to identify about 25 products that, when analyzed together, allowed him to assign each shopper a "pregnancy prediction" score. More important, he could also estimate her due date to within a small window, so Target could send coupons timed to very specific stages of her pregnancy."
Big Data for Big Profits
Perhaps you feel this very specific catering is convenient, or maybe invasive, either way it is incredibly effective. From a financial perspective, the companies that best optimize this kind of data are in the strongest positions to profit.
Continuing off this pregnancy example. Pole says "We knew that if we could identify [pregnant women] in their second trimester, there's a good chance we could capture them for years. As soon as we get them buying diapers from us, they're going to start buying everything else too."
Wouldn't you want to invest in the companies that leverage this trend? Kapitall has created a hepful infographic that quickly walks through the core of big data, and the companies who leverage them.

LA Kings Drinking From Stanley Cup During Vegas Rager -- PARTY! [PHOTOS]
L.A. Kings Stars BOOZIN' FROM STANLEY CUP ... During Vegas Rager!
They don't call it the Stanley CUP for nothing -- which is why a bunch of L.A. Kings players used it to serve up champagne to hot chicks in Vegas last night ... and TMZ Sports has the pics.
Jarrett Stoll -- along with Drew Doughty and cup-winning goal scorer Alec Martinez -- hit up Beacher's Madhouse at the MGM Grand in Vegas ... and partied with Lord Stanley's hardware until it passed out.
Everyone had a blast -- and they weren't stingy with the trophy ... letting all sorts of people take a sip of the bubbly they kept pouring inside it.
Even Paris Hilton showed up to the party -- though it's unclear if she took a swig.
Stanley Cup -- it's probably hung over right now.

You might not have felt anything at that moment we met
This particular song tells a story about a one night stand and certainly does not reflect my relationship with cobalt blue. But there's something about the title that resonates to me. It literary just happened in one night: The downward spiral of our relationship...
It's a big surprise how swiftly everything just went rogue. We just went out for a movie one Thursday evening, everything was fine. We ate in Sumo Sam. Everything just felt good and right. Then come Friday evening, we were nuking it out through texts. One accusing one of doing something against the other. We separated ways by Saturday.
It's already been a week since then. Of course, I have thought about everything that had transpired. I believe everything started when I was asking him what are we going to do in Pampanga. It was Friday and I was in San Fernando for an Official Business. We were scheduled to go there that Saturday since he invited me to go there the week prior. It was his way to make up to me since his parents did not permit him to join me in Tagaytay.
He mentioned that he just wanted to watch a movie there. I was berating him to look for more things to do because if all he wanted was to watch a movie, why do we need to go to Pampanga? (Vista Mall Bataan has movies showing) "Ikaw naman nag-aya neto.", I kept telling him because in my mind, it was him who wanted to go to Pampanga. So I figured he wanted to do something there that is not available in Bataan and I was pressing him to tell me what it is. He responded that what he planned in mind was just to watch a movie and I was just demanding things. Note: Everything he said is non-verbatim. I only read his message once and is only recalling it by memory. I have his message in my phone but I don't like to read it anymore. His response really blew my fuse especially combined with the hot climate in San Fernando that time...
I hastily replied that of course I have the right to demand! I am giving him my time even though there are many people who are asking for it. He is my priority! I am always trying so hard to fit everything in my schedule so that I can give ample time to everyone! I just don't want to waste my time. I have sacrificed other lakads for this!
He replied that I was nagging him about my time and he didn't ask for it. Gawd, I was getting all the more frustrated with our exchange then. I replied that he's important to me that's why he is my priority and that I am not nagging him about my time, I simply want him to understand where I'm coming from. He replied claiming something about me being selfish for the time that I am asking. He mentioned something about him lacking the time to spend at home and having no time to speak with his parents. Which I countered with what I have always telling him, he was the one who invited me to go to Pampanga in the first place! He countered that he does not know Pampanga very well since he doesn't always go to the place. He kept insisting that I am the only one demanding to do things because his original invite was only for a movie.
In the end, I relented. I said it's fine if it was only a movie and provided some choices for other activities. Like the new cafe I saw by the intersection; That Buffet that we always eat to; etc. I remember I texted those while I was enroute back to Bataan. After a while, I was already crying in the bus. I was just told I was demanding and selfish by that one person I care about the most. It really took a blow on me. I couldn't accept those allegations especially coming from him.
When I arrived at our office, I broke down. I couldn't bare the pain anymore. His words pierced right through me. Good thing I was alone and was able to really let it out. I cried a good cry then went all serious. I started typing very long texts. I answered all his claims about my selfishness, my being demanding, and some other things. I mentioned that all I wanted was bit of his time because that's all what he can offer me. I asked him if he still wanted to be in this. I reminded him that I asked him before and he said it was okay with it. I defended myself that whatever issues that he has with his parents, I'm out of it. Ever since I knew that he's getting scolded when he gets home late, I make it a point that our affairs are only until 8PM. And that all our Manila trips at most are overnight only. If he feels he doesn't talk to his parents that much then he should initiate the conversation since he's staying with them at home. I sent the texts around 10PM and then went home.
I woke up around 2AM and read his replies to my texts. He started with that he may continue the debate and he will just end up at the losing side. He should be the one in control of his life and that he cannot meet me halfway anymore. He said he wanted to go back to the time that he was alone. So that I will not be sad and cry anymore in the office. He points out that I cry in the office and everyone knows it's because of him. His last message was not to proceed to our trip to Pampanga. Of course that devastated me, again, like I said, I sacrificed other events just to go on this trip to Pampanga with him.
I replied to his message that I will respect what he has told me in those texts and as my last request, let's proceed to Pampanga. After that, I texted my partner-in-crime with a message telling her that the #TimeLimit has been set.
I went back to sleep with a heavy heart. Honestly, it wasn't that much of a sleep because I kept waking up every fifteen minutes.
I understand that I may have been the trigger to this. Especially that I kept berating him that he was the one who invited me. On my end, as I mentioned, I just wanted to know what will transpire with our little trip. It's not like he's the one paying for everything. I need to know how much will be our projected expenses so I can sweep it in my budget.
And the things that he mentioned against me, being selfish, being demanding, being the one in control of his life. Ha! I have given nothing but options to him. I always base my decisions to him. I let him decide because I wanted someone deciding for me for a change. That is except for things that I know he needed, like the X-ray for his injuries, blood chem, and Rehab Med consultation. Doctors orders. No buts.
I am out with his dilemma with his parents. Why is he pinning that on me?
Time is important to me as I always have tons of things to do. I set them aside because he is important to me. And it seems he doesn't understand that part. Yeah, the part that he's important to me. Sad noh?

San Francisco — The California Supreme Court has approved a live television broadcast of its oral argument session in the statewide redistricting case of Vandermost v. Bowen (Citizens Redistricting Commission, Intervener) (S198387) from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Tuesday, January 10, 2012. The case addresses the district lines that will be used for the California state Senate elections later this year.
Oral argument will be broadcast and webcast live on California Channel, a public affairs network that reaches 5.6 million people (http://www.calchannel.com/. An archived audiocast will be available on California Channel the following day.
The Supreme Court will hold the special session in the Supreme Court Courtroom in the Earl Warren Building, Fourth Floor, 350 McAllister Street, San Francisco 94102. Overflow seating will be available in the Sequoia Room of the William C. Vickrey Conference Center, Hiram Johnson State Office Building, Third Floor, 455 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco (map).
Another room on the same floor will be designated for credentialed news media. The Earl Warren Building and the Hiram Johnson State Office Building, both located in the Ronald M. George Judicial State Office Complex.
Legal briefs in the case are available on the California Courts Web site.
Case Expedited to Meet 2012 Deadlines
The Supreme Court has expedited the redistricting case in order to accommodate statutory election deadlines.
On December 9, 2011, the Supreme Court issued an "order to show cause" in response to a petition seeking relief under article XXI, section 3 of the California Constitution, on the ground that a referendum measure challenging the Citizens Redistricting Commission's certified state Senate district map is likely to qualify for the November 2012 ballot and hence stay implementation of that map.
In light of the very short time frame imposed by the impending 2012 electoral cycle, the court sought and obtained expedited briefing, requiring briefing by the parties by December 19, 2011, and briefing by any amicus curiae by December 22, 2011.

A photograph of John Lennon and Yoko Ono taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz shortly before the former Beatles was murdered is now up for auction.
The Associated Press reported that a photo of the couple embracing will be auctioned through Swann Auction Galleries on Oct. 19. Leibovitz took the photograph for Rolling Stone magazine on December 8, 1980, the day that Lennon was shot to death in New York City.
A private collector is selling the photograph, which is expected to fetch somewhere between $10,000 and $15,000. According to the AP, the sale is not related to Leibowitz's recent entanglement regarding her debts and rights to her photographs.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The photo is not the iconic picture of a nude Lennon and clothed Ono, which appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone a month after Lennon's death. In 2005, the American Society of Magazine Editors chose that image as the top magazine cover of the last 40 years.

|Easton Express, Friday, 15JAN1926, pg 8
"Bail of Alleged Pickpocket Forfeited
When the name of Albert Smith was called in court at Belvidere yesterday there was no response, and Judge Harry Runyon promptly ruled that his bail bond of $2,500 be forfeited. Court attaches say that the bond was furnished by a casualty company. A short time after Smith had been arrested friends came to his rescue, with the result that the bond was accepted and the defendant lost no time in getting away from this vicinity."
I'm sure his friends were not at all pleased at losing such a sum of money. That's a lot today, but we're talking 1926. Not cool. Perhaps this transcription will add a little spice to someone researching Mr. Smith's family tree!

Waino optimistic about making next start
NEW YORK -- Manager Mike Matheny wasn't quite as optimistic as Adam Wainwright that the right-hander will be able to make his next scheduled start, on Sunday against the Pirates, but both are equally relieved that the injury Wainwright sustained to his right knee in lunging for Chris Young's bloop on Tuesday night is not nearly as bad as it first looked.
"I will be throwing a side [session] tomorrow," said Wainwright on Wednesday. "Everything is good. To be honest with you, I am better than I thought I would be. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was just a hair sore with full extension of my leg. But I can fully extend it and straighten my leg out with no problems.
"Last night I didn't really want to do that, was guarding against it. I probably already feel 50 percent better than I did last night."
Young's out, recorded by first baseman Matt Adams while Wainwright hobbled past the bag, ended both the seventh inning and Wainwright's night. Kevin Siegrist and Trevor Rosenthal finished the Cardinals' 2-0 win.
Matheny said it is "too early" to be certain that Wainwright will be good to go in four days, but he wasn't going to rule it out after watching his pitcher work out on Wednesday.
"He was actually doing some leg workouts -- modified and lightweight -- but all his movements looked right," said Matheny. "He said he is feeling really good about where he is going to be.
"Right now we are really grateful, because that looked like it was going to be pretty bad. When I see [the knee] giving out on him like that, for him not to be hurt worse, you have to realize he has been doing a lot of [things right] as far as preparation and stability.
"The things he is doing in the weight room really come to light in a situation like that."

The Small Business Administration has eased the rules for its 504 loan program to facility refinancing. For the first time, small businesses can use this loan program to generate working capital. Chris Hurn of Mercantile Capital Corporation, an SBA lender in Orlando, Florida, said the new opportunity to refinance will help owners turn their real estate equity into working capital.
The SBA's 504 loan program is a long-term financing vehicle made through a Community Development Corporation, which is a private, nonprofit corporation which is set up to contribute to economic development within its community. Usually, there is a first (senior) loan for 50% of the cost of the project. Then the 504 loan can provide up to 40% of the cost of the project; the 504 loan is 100% guaranteed by the SBA. In effect, the small business borrower only has to come up with 10% of the cost of the project.
The program can be used to buy or improve realty or long-term machinery and equipment. Until now, the program could not be used for refinancing. However, under a temporary program set to run through September 27, 2012, the program is available for the refinancing of a commercial mortgage that is more than two years old. Under a rule adopted on October 12, 2011, borrowers can finance up to 90% of the appraised value of available collateral, which could include fixed assets acceptable to SBA, such as commercial real property. This allows borrowers with more than 10% equity to be able to obtain additional proceeds to pay for eligible business expenses.
Under the 504 loan program, repayment is made over 20 years. There is no cost to the borrower for refinancing. The current interest rate is 4.69%, an all-time low.
