Federal Attorney-General Nicola Roxon is playing down expectations a royal commission into child sexual abuse will open the door to compensation payments for victims.
While the government would not rule out that it might be an outcome of the inquiry, it wasn't a starting point for the commission.
"That might be something that flows from the work of the commission," Ms Roxon told ABC Radio on Tuesday.
"Our primary concern is to look at the recommendations that will help fix the system for the future."
The government on Monday released a consultation paper that calls for submissions on how the inquiry should be conducted.
Ms Roxon said many victims wanted to tell their stories which was an important cathartic process.
But others did not or had spoken already in other forums.
"One of the complexities is how we meet those needs without entirely overwhelming the commission," she said.
"We want to do that in a manageable way."
It would be open to the commissioners to establish processes to set a balance.
Ms Roxon insisted the royal commission was not an alternative to reporting crimes to the police.
"It is not a prosecuting body and those processes need to be able to continue while the royal commission is under way," she said.
Senior counsel Andrew Morrison, from the Australian Lawyers Alliance, said the discussion paper left open the possibility of a statutory change by state governments which would allow victims to sue for civil damages.
It could make the trustees of the Catholic Church - who preside over millions of dollars worth of property - liable in respect of abuse and negligence by priests and teachers in Catholic organisations, he told Fairfax Media.
A 2007 NSW Court of Appeal decision found that the Catholic Church was not a legal entity for the purposes of compensation claims.
Dr Morrison said the Sydney Archdiocese should be answerable to legal claims, just as the church is in England, Wales, Ireland and the US.

Now that people in Colorado (and, soon, Washington state) can buy marijuana about as easily as they can pick up a 12-pack of Bud Light, it's a good time to ask: How risky is it to turn to pot?
President Obama has already shared his opinion, telling the New Yorker magazine, "I don't think [marijuana] is more dangerous than alcohol." The president's opinion stands in stark contrast with official federal policy that still classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug, putting it in the same class as heroin and LSD.
In this case, the president seems to be more correct than the government, says Richard Miller, professor of pharmacology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. "No question about it," Miller says. "It's absolutely clear that marijuana is much less dangerous than alcohol."
According to Miller, marijuana is the safer choice whether you're using it for a single night or a lifetime. "When people drink alcohol, they often get out of control and get violent. They crash their cars and beat their wives. But when people smoke marijuana, they get very relaxed and mellow."
Roughly 10% of people who try marijuana will eventually run into trouble, says Dr. Christian Hopfer, associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora. That's about the same odds that a drinker will abuse alcohol, he says, but there's a big difference: Alcoholism causes far more physical and emotional devastation.
The signs of marijuana addiction are subtle, he says. Adults who smoke heavily — as in four or five time a day, every day — tend to have trouble learning, remembering and dealing with complicated tasks. "They're definitely impaired," Hopfer says. "They organize their lives around using."
Fortunately, the habit is breakable. "A lot of people who use marijuana heavily in their 20s eventually quit on their own," he says. "It's probably easier than stopping [tobacco] smoking."
The toll seems to be worse for young brains. According to Hopfer, adolescents who smoke a lot of marijuana can expect to lose about 8 points from their IQ. Young users also seem to be more likely to become psychotic in later years, although the risk is still small. "About one user in a thousand will end up with a psychotic illness that they wouldn't have had otherwise," he says.
As reported in November in Current Psychiatric Reports, marijuana can threaten physical health too, although the dangers appear to be mostly small and unpredictable. After summing up studies over the last 15 years, researchers at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs found evidence linking marijuana to lung disease, heart disease and other ailments, but the actual risks were hard to pin down. For example, one study suggested that smoking a single joint increases the odds of a heart attack within the next hour, but other studies have failed to find any sign that marijuana users are more likely than non-users to suffer a heart attack over the long term.
The report also noted some growing but inconclusive evidence that long-term marijuana use could increase the risk of cancer in the lungs, bladder, head and neck. The authors noted, however, that marijuana doesn't seem to be in the same league as tobacco when it comes to the potential to cause cancer — another comparison that was practically guaranteed to cast marijuana in a positive light.
A 2013 study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine suggests that even heavy marijuana users aren't necessarily a sickly bunch. The study looked at nearly 600 primary-care patients who had tested positive for marijuana or another illicit drug. Chronic marijuana smokers were just as healthy as occasional smokers and weren't any more likely to have had a recent stint in the ER or a hospital bed.
The president's pot analysis may have been accurate, but it wasn't necessarily helpful, says Dr. Timothy Naimi, an associate professor of medicine and community health sciences at Boston University School of Medicine.
"Saying marijuana's safer than alcohol sets an incredibly low bar," Naimi says, adding that alcohol kills about 80,000 people a year. "Marijuana can still be a dangerous substance."
While the risks of marijuana may be relatively small for each individual user, Naimi believes problems are likely to grow with access to the drug. "It's five times more potent than the pot I grew up with. We've lowered the price and increased the supply. I'm not for or against legalization, but those are red flags."
Supporters of legalization often say marijuana should be as freely available as beer or whiskey. But Naimi says the nation's experience with alcohol isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of lax regulations and easy access to mind-altering substances. Instead, he says, the toll of alcohol should "give pause" to anyone hoping to bring marijuana to the masses.

Lowrie lifts Oakland over Mariners
Oakland, CA – Jed Lowrie provided the Oakland Athletics with the jolt they needed after struggling over the first two games.
Lowrie had a solo homer and three RBI among his three hits in Oakland's 6-2 win over the Seattle Mariners in the third test of a four-game set.
Chris Young, who was acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks in an offseason trade, made his first start of the season and smacked a solo shot for Oakland, which avoided its first 0-3 start since 1995.
Last year's AL West champs registered 11 hits after tallying just a run and six hits over their first two contests.
Tommy Milone (1-0) struck out four and surrendered two runs on four hits and a walk over seven frames to pick up the win.
"He doesn't let too much get to him. He just concentrates on where he's throwing that particular pitch and doesn't get too far ahead of himself," A's manager Bob Melvin said of Milone.
Joe Saunders (0-1) allowed four runs on seven hits and four walks in just four innings for the Mariners, who got solo homers from Franklin Gutierrez and Michael Morse.
"(Saunders) just didn't have the command of the secondary stuff he typically has," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said.
The game was tied at 2-2 after three before the A's pushed across a pair of runs in the fourth and seventh.
With two outs and runners on the corners in the fourth, Lowrie ripped a two- run double into the gap in right-center and in the seventh, Lowrie and Young cracked back-to-back solo shots to make it 6-2.
Earlier, Gutierrez and Morse hit solo homers in the opening frame to give the Mariners a 2-0 lead.
The A's, though, scored a run in the second and third to knot the contest. Nate Freiman slapped an RBI single up the middle in the second and Yoenis Cespedes lifted a sacrifice fly to center in the third.
Game Notes
Saunders had won four of his last five starts against Oakland ... The A's were 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base ... Coco Crisp scored two runs for Oakland.

Companies Team to Support Open Java Community
REDWOOD SHORES, CA and ARMONK, NY--(Marketwire - October 11, 2010) - Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) and IBM today announced that the companies will collaborate to allow developers and customers to build and innovate based on existing Java investments and the OpenJDK reference implementation. Specifically, the companies will collaborate in the OpenJDK community to develop the leading open source Java environment.
With today's news, the two companies will make the OpenJDK community the primary location for open source Java SE development. The Java Community Process (JCP) will continue to be the primary standards body for Java specification work and both companies will work to continue to enhance the JCP.
The collaboration will center on the OpenJDK project, the open source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) specification, the Java Language, the Java Development Kit (JDK), and Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
Oracle and IBM will support the recently announced OpenJDK development roadmap, which accelerates the availability of Java SE across the open source community.
"The Java community is vital to the evolution of the Java platform," said Hasan Rizvi, senior vice president, Oracle. "The collaboration between Oracle and IBM builds on the success of OpenJDK as the primary development platform for Java SE."
"IBM, Oracle and other members of the Java community working collaboratively in OpenJDK will accelerate the innovation in the Java platform," said Rod Smith, vice president, emerging technologies, IBM. "Oracle and IBM's collaboration also signals to enterprise customers that they can continue to rely on the Java community to deliver more open, flexible and innovative new technologies to help grow their business."
Java is a general-purpose software development platform that is specifically designed to be open and enable application developers to "write once, run anywhere." The platform is most widely used in business software, web and mobile applications.

"Holidating" is an ongoing Match.com blog series focusing on data from a recent Match.com survey on singles and the holiday season. Stay tuned for more posts examining the data in the upcoming week!
Singles! It is time to be the life of the party… the holiday party, that is. When we asked single men and women across the country to rate their favorite holiday traditions, going to holiday parties ranked high in the minds of singles. However, ask them to throw a holiday party? You'll find no one on that list!
While being a guest was the best, hosting the holidays ranked last on the list of favorites. In fact, men were more pumped about parties than women! When it comes to a hankering for holiday soirées, our survey showed that 38% of men have fete fever, while only 24% of women are equally as enthusiastic about sharing a room with revelers.
What does this mean for "all the single ladies?" It means it is time to put your party frock on and rock jingle bell rock! Finding a good date is like fishing, you are more likely to catch a good one in a stocked pond. Holiday parties are the season's best fishing holes. Get hooked now.
Furthermore, attending a holiday party ranked second with singles' favorite holiday traditions. What was first on the list? Singles singled out giving/getting gifts. However, in the same breath, more than half of singles have been disappointed by a holiday gift from a significant other. Plus, nearly 75% of women have been disappointed with a gift from a significant other at least once (versus 47% of men.)
Therefore, my vote is to move the holiday party to the top of the list. Instead of giving/getting gifts to/from your date, give the gift of gab, gatherings and good times. When it comes to being single and surviving…scratch that, thriving this holiday party season, I think Pink's lyrics say it best: "I'm comin' up so you better get this party started!"

Dicor Corp. Finalizes Sale of Alta Resources
December 9, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Dicor Corp. Finalizes Sale of Alta Resources
Elkhart, Ind.-based Dicor Corp., a leading supplier of products to manufacturers for recreational and conversion vehicles as well as aftermarket products for RVs, announced today (Dec. 9) it has finalized an agreement for the purchase of the primary products of the company's Alta Resources affiliate by American Technology.
Alta Resources is a supplier of OEM and aftermarket wiper systems and fluid containers through a partnership with Trico Corp. and also is also the leading supplier of wireless remote control systems and its Slide-Lock product for RV slideouts. American Technology, also headquartered in Elkhart, is acquiring these products while also introducing the Genesis line of remote motor controls, a new generation of remotes for RV and related industries.
Other products previously marketed by Alta Resources, including table hardware, steps and TV brackets, will become part of the product line of Dicor Corp.'s affiliate, Dicor Products.
"Alta Resources has been a valued member of the Dicor Corp. family since its founding nearly 13 years ago," said Gregg Fore, Dicor Corp. president. "The Alta Resources personnel as well as the products that will now be part of American Technology have proven to be top performers in the markets they serve. Alta Resources has been associated with American Technology for more than 10 years, so we believe this move should be a perfect fit for the people and products, making for a smooth and successful transition."
Fore said the agreement effectively enhances Dicor Corp.'s ongoing capabilities. "This transaction gives us additional resources to support the numerous innovations coming out of our other companies," he said.
In addition to Dicor Products, Dicor Corp. affiliate companies include Vixen Components, Seal Design and United Shade.
"The acquisition of the Alta Resources product lines is in harmony with our core competencies and our strategic plans for product and market expansion," noted Steve Haines, American Technology chairman and CEO. "We welcome the opportunity to expand Alta's market, and appreciate our long association with Dicor Corp."

On Wednesday November 7 2018 I went to lunch at Wendys in Lehi and ordered a Daves single with No ketchup mayo or pickles on it. I recived my food after about 4 min and drove away. I look in the bag and I got a Chicken Sandwich with Bacon and a bunch of stuff on it... Not at all what i ordered. I turn around go inside this time and wait a good 10 minutes while 4 employees stand around (fully aware i am holding an unwrapped sandwich) and proceed to tell the only woman doing her job that the Sandwich was incorrect. She took my order again they remade my Sandwich and i left. Went back to work (late because i had to exchange my food) and ate lunch. 4 hours later I receive a severe migraine nausea accompanied woth vomiting diarrhea stomach pains which eventually led to blacking out. I have never had such bad food poisoning in my entire life. Im not saying that the employees did something to my sandwich... but it wouldnt be surprised.

Organizers of Sunday's CicLAvia festival estimated that more than 100,000 people turned out to bike, walk, run and roller-skate along 7 ½ miles of downtown streets that were closed to cars for the event.
No major incidents or injuries were reported, though because of temperatures reaching the low 90s and because of low humidity, organizers had to remind people to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.
Sunday's car-free event, dubbed Heart of LA, was the third this year and the eighth since CicLAvia began in 2010 in downtown Los Angeles. The aim is to get Angelenos to abandon their vehicles for the day and rediscover their city in other ways.
"We came back to where we started it all," said Robert Gard, a CicLAvia spokesman. "People seemed to really like coming back to these streets downtown that they now know and love."


text: The Deerfield Park District was established in 1951 to provide recreation programs and facilities for residents of all ages. The park system operates on revenue received from the district's share of real estate property taxes and user fees. District taxpayers have priority in all of our classes. In 1947, some residents of Deerfield formed the Jewett Park Association and purchased from the Jewett family an 11.48 acre parcel of property, which became known as Jewett Park. In 1951, the park district was officially formed and became a member of the Illinois Association of Park Districts. The new district purchased Jewett Park from the association, entered into a cooperative agreement with the local school districts, and hired its first employee. In 1955, the district built its first facility, the fieldhouse in Jewett Park. In, 1973, the Jewett Park Community Center was opened, and in 2003, the Patty Turner Center (a joint program of the Deerfield Park District and the Village of Deerfield offering programs and services for adults 50 and above) was also opened to the public. With the construction of these two new facilities, the fieldhouse was torn down and replaced by a park pavillion with a warming house, restrooms, outdoor fireplace, a path system, new playground and more. The Deerfield Park District has grown and flourished throughout the years with the support of Deerfield's residents. Today, the park district encompasses more than 350 acres of land, which includes 20 park sites and an 18-hole golf course in Riverwoods. The district also has two outdoor swimming pools, a nature area, and a skate park. The Patty Turner Center is located at 375 Elm Street, in Deerfield. The phone is 847-940-4010. The district is governed by an elected board of park commissioners who serve four year terms of office without pay. The board meets the third Thursday of each month at the Jewett Park Community Center. Board members set policy for the district, which is administered by a director of parks and recreation and a staff of recreation professionals. The board receives community input through its citizen advisory committees, composed of appointed community volunteers, and from the general public. The Deerfield Park District has come a long way since 1951, and the amount and variety of programs and services continues to expand and evolve to meet the needs of our residents. As we continue to grow and flourish, the members of our community not only benefit from recreation and leisure opportunities for personal enjoyment, health benefits, skill development and the like, but also from both paid and volunteer work opportunities created by the Park District on a year-round basis. We look forward to continuing to serve our community with creative, safe and enjoyable offerings.

Kingston SSD NOW V Series 128GB Review
The benefits of owning an SSD are often tempered by the cost of ownership and the low drive capacity, not to mention the initial bad press that they received from both the press and the user base. Stuttering and low drive performance once the drives had been used caused a lot of heartache for the owners of these expensive toys. Capacity is another of the concerns when it comes down to making that decision to purchase a new drive for your desktop or portable PC. As flash technology takes off, the capacities have been steadily increasing while costs are leveling off and showing a bit of a decline. This makes it easier to justify the cost for the additional performance you get from the use of SSDs. That's not to say that the decision is easy - just easier! Controllers have become better at managing the drives and the INDILINX controller equipped drives, coupled with 64MB of cache, seemed to drive the usability factor up a notch or two. This V Series drive from Kingston is equipped with a new drive controller that was put together by both Toshiba and Jmicron, the JMF618. This controller brings along Trim support for the ride, with the SSDNow drives boasting read speeds of 200MB/s with writes speeds at a respectable 160MB/s. Priced at $279, this drive presents a value for 128GB worth of space when you compare it to the pricing on other 128GB drives. Let's see how this new controller will compare to drives with different controllers, as well as see if the lower price is an indicator of performance and if the value really is there.
Closer Look:
The Kingston SSDNow V series drive Desktop Upgrade kit comes in a slightly larger retail package than most of the drives we have looked at. This is in no small part due to the nature of what is included in the kit. The front panel shows the Kingston logo, as well as the rated capacity of the drive included in this kit.The rear panel lists the contents of the kit, as well as some of the attributes of using an SSD, such as faster boot times and program responsiveness.
The inner sleeve covering the hardware contains much the same information as the back of the outer packaging.
The hardware is held in a plastic tray and contains all of the parts needed to install this drive in a desktop computer. You get the drive, drive rails for mounting the drive, SATA power and data cables, and a disk that contains the installation guide and Acronis True Image to clone your current disk onto this Kingston V Series drive.
Let's look inside this drive before we put it through its paces.

Real-World Review
Does the 2013 Toyota RAV4 have a roomier interior?
The new 2013 Toyota RAV4 is more than eight inches longer than the 2012 model. That means it boasts a roomier interior than its predecessor, and more cargo space.
But while the overall interior is larger, the biggest gains come in the backseat. There's more legroom than last year, and the rear seats are among the most comfortable of any small SUV. The rear seats also recline for added comfort -- a feature typically reserved for luxury models.
In addition to extra legroom, the latest RAV4 is also wider than the outgoing model. That means there's a little more breathing room inside. Overall, the 2013 Toyota RAV4 offers about 25 percent more interior space -- and cargo room -- than the previous version.

Just because you have to decorate your home on a tight budget, doesn't mean you necessarily have to compromise on style.
Anton Odendaal from Rochester offers top tips on how to spruce up your space without breaking the bank: Work out your budget: the first thing that needs to be done for any effective makeover project is to clearly define your budget. " Decide what you need, and where you desperately have to spend your money. If, for example, you need seating, then this will most probably be your major spend. However, if you already have seating, then perhaps the major portion of your budget will be spent on accessories, window coverings and rugs for example.
Each project is different, but it is imperative that you do your research on what things you need, and what they cost, in order to formulate a sound budget plan that you can realistically stick to," says Odendaal. Choose a style and create a mood board: there is no room in your budget to make mistakes and buy items that don't fit in with your scheme. As such, you need to meticulously work out what you do want and what you don't want. Decide what you need, and where you desperately have to spend your money.
It is easy to be swept away with excitement and invest in items that appeal to you, but don't necessarily fit in with the décor you have chosen – this can be disastrous for your budget. The best way to avoid this is to compile a mood board. Choose your desired style and colour palette before you set out shopping for the various items on your list. You can find inspiration by scouring décor magazines, books and websites, such as www.rochester.co.za or www.houzz.com for example.
"Once you have decided on a style and colour palette, cut or print out any décor images that fit this theme. Sort through them, choose your favourites and formulate a moodboard. It should feature colour swatches that you are interested in, as well as settings that feature the look you are after. This moodboard will go a long way in helping you select items for your interior composition that complement one another."
Splurge on a signature item: It is a good idea to splurge a good chunk of your budget on a signature item that you adore – something that you will be able to keep for a long time to come. These signature items usually form the centerpiece of your entire design, and are the starting points of a good composition. If you are on a budget, you need to choose the stores that you buy from cleverly.
Odendaal says whether it is a particular sofa or occasional chair, a piece of art, or a specific type of light fitting – the signature item in any décor composition will be the item that people will notice first when they walk into a room. It tends to set the tone of what is to come. Bear in mind however, that a signature piece need not be ridiculously expensive.
Compose your lighting: A good lighting composition can make all the difference in a space. The trick to achieving good lighting is to include various layers of light – incorporate an attractive pendant light in the centre of the room for ambient light for example, and then complement it with more focused lighting in the form of table and floor lamps. "Well appointed table or floor lamps can really make all the difference – finishing off the entire décor composition," says Odendaal.
Organise your space: One of the least expensive things to do in order to truly rejuvenate a space, is to purge yourself of any unused, unwanted, or unattractive items. "Once you have ruthlessly uncluttered a space, you can truly see what you have to work with. Good storage is an essential part of any sound interior design – look around for simple storage solutions that you can use to organise and store the items you need. For the items that you don't want anymore – donate them to charity or sell them at a jumble sale or on a website like Gumtree, for example. This could be a good way of raising further cash for your makeover." Choose your desired style and colour palette before you set out shopping for the various items on your list.
Choose stylish accents and features: It's the little things that make all the difference, says Odendaal. "It's the finer details that can really set your décor scheme apart from the rest. Adding some trendy new décor accents is a quick and easy way of revitialising your interiors and giving them a fresh new look."
Shop smart: If you are on a budget, you need to choose the stores that you buy from cleverly. "It's no use shopping at high-end outlets, where you can't afford anything. However, you don't want to spend your hard earned cash on badly made, inferior quality items that will need replacing."
Repainting revolution: A fresh coat of paint can do absolute wonders to spruce up a space. "If you are on a budget, your best bet would be to choose a light-coloured neutral hue, where you can easily change the colour palette of the room by changing the various accessories, instead of having to repaint the entire room," advises Odendaal.

Pseudopod 329: Red Rubber Gloves
by Christine Brooke-Rose – presented here through the kind courtesy of her literary executor, Jean-Michel Rabaté, who has allowed us to produce this story.
This week's episode sponsored by Audible.com; they offer Pseudopod listeners a free audiobook download of their choice from Audible's selection of over 100,000 titles.
"Red Rubber Gloves" was originally read by your editor in the late 1970s (when he was a small lad) in a collection called TALES OF UNEASE edited by John Burke and published in 1966. The book was a tie in to a soon-forgotten, and now seemingly lost, regional television anthology horror show of the same name that ran on London Weekend Television.
CHRISTINE BROOKE-ROSE (1923-2012) was one of the greatest British experimental novelists (the novel, BETWEEN (1968) is written entirely without using the verb "to be"), as well as a critic and a leading interpreter of Modernism. She was born in Geneva, Switzerland. During World War II she worked at Bletchley Park as a WAAF in Intelligence, later completing her university degree. She then worked for a time in London as a literary journalist and scholar. Because she often used alternative narrative devices (including unorthodox chronology and unusual typography) to create alternative realities, her work is sometimes classified as science fiction, though much of it is beyond category. As with much postmodern fiction, her writing — organized around an unspoken compact between the author, who is unspooling the text, and the reader, who is watching it unspool — is about the act of writing itself. As her New York Times obituary said "Ms. Brooke-Rose was a linguistic escape artist. In book after book she dons self-imposed syntactic shackles, and in book after book she gleefully slips them."
Your reader this week – Kim Lakin-Smith – writes dark fantasy and science fiction short stories that have appeared in numerous magazines and anthologies including Black Static, Interzone, Celebration, Myth-Understandings, Further Conflicts, Pandemonium: Stories of the Apocalypse, The Mammoth Book of Ghost Stories By Women, and others, with 'Johnny and Emmie-Lou Get Married' shortlisted for the BSFA short story award 2009. She is the author of the gothic fantasy Tourniquet; Tales from the Renegade City, the YA novella Queen Rat, and Cyber Circus which was shortlisted for both the 2012 BSFA Best Novel award and the British Fantasy Award for Best Novel.
Her short story 'Beyond Hope' features in Solaris Rising 2, which is launched at this year's Eastercon. Later in the year, her crossover YA novel Autodrome will be published by Snowbooks. Autodrome is part Speed Racer, part Death Race – on the same day that 15 year old Zar Punkstar qualifies as Pro Leaguer, he finds his inventor father murdered. His opposition are polished Pro Leaguers, hired thugs, and parts pirates. But who to trust in a world of competitors?

"In the kitchen window of the right-hand house the panel of two squares over two over two over two is open to reveal a· black rectangle and the beginning of the gleaming sink. Inside the sink is a red plastic bowl and on the window-sill are the red rubber gloves, now at rest.
In the morning the sunlight slants on all the windows, reflecting gold in some of the black squares but not in others, making each rectangular window, with its eight squares across and four squares down, look like half a chessboard gone berserk in order to confuse the queen and both her knights.
In the black rectangle of the open kitchen window the sunlight gleams on the stainless steel double sink unit, just beyond the cream-painted frame. Above the gleaming sink the red rubber gloves move swiftly, rise from the silver greyness lifting a yellow mass, plunging it into greyness, lifting it again, twisting its tail, shifting it to the right-hand. sink, moving back left, vanishing into greyness, rising and moving swiftly, in and out, together and apart.
On closer scrutiny I can see that in the left-hand house the wooden frames of the thirty-two black squares, eight by four in each of the rectangular windows, are painted white. It is only the right-hand house which has cream-painted windows. They all looked the same behind the trees against the strong September sun that faces me on my high balcony. The left-hand house seems quite devoid of life. Possibly the two rectangular windows, one above the other in the square end of the inverted U, are not the windows of the bathroom and kitchen at all in the left-hand house. It is difficult to see them through the apple-tree, and of course through the goldening elm in the garden at the back of my block. In the right-hand house, however, the lower room is definitely the kitchen, in the black rectangle of which the red rubber gloves move swiftly apart, shake hands, vanish into greyness, lift up a foam-white mass, vanish and reappear, move to the right, move back, lunge into greyness, rise and move swiftly right. Beyond the red rubber gloves is a pale grey shape, then blackness."

Mavericks, Nuggets clash in Big D
The Dallas Mavericks are officially out of playoff contention, but still have four games remaining on the slate, starting with Friday's home tilt with the Denver Nuggets.
The Mavericks had reached the postseason 12 straight years, last missing back in 1999-00, and won it all in 2010-11. They had a modest two-game winning streak stopped with Wednesday's 102-91 loss to the Phoenix Suns.
Shawn Marion scored a team-high 22 points and Dirk Nowitzki followed with 21 for the Mavericks, who have lost three of five games and shot 40 percent from the floor. Vince Carter tallied 18 points off the bench for a Dallas team that did not win any quarter.
"I guess we just under estimated them tonight and they came in here and got a win. They were on a 10-game losing streak I think and they played a back to back last night and came in here and won," Marion said.
Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said it was disappointing not to reach the .500 mark and hopes his team can stay focused over the last four games. Dallas is in foreign territory not preparing for a playoff run and is 22-16 in Big D.
The Mavs will play New Orleans twice and Memphis to wrap up the season.
Denver is one of the hottest teams in the league and just defeated the mighty San Antonio Spurs, 96-86, on Wednesday.
Andre Iguodala had a triple-double with 12 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, while Wilson Chandler and Corey Brewer scored 29 and 28 points, respectively, for the Nuggets, who have won five in a row and 20 of the last 22 games. Chandler has taken over for injured forward Danilo Gallinari, who's out for the season with a torn knee ligament.
The Nuggets are aiming for homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs and currently sit third in the West standings -- one game ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies.
"We need homecourt in the first round, so we're going to get every win we can get," Brewer said after Denver's 21st win in a row at home.
Brewer has scored 20-plus points in three straight games.
Denver point guard Ty Lawson has missed five straight and eight of nine games with a nagging heel injury and is questionable Friday. He leads the Nuggets with 16.7 ppg.
The Nuggets have never won 55 games in a season since moving to the NBA and are 32-3 when allowing fewer than 100 points in a game.
The Nuggets look for a three-game season sweep of the Mavericks Friday and just posted a 95-94 win over Dallas on April 4 in the Rockies. Iguodala made the game-winning layup with 2.8 seconds remaining and Brewer blocked Anthony Morrow's potential game-winning 3-point attempt at the end.
Denver last swept Dallas in a season series in 2008-09 (4-0).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Two goals during the final 12 minutes of regulation helped lift MIT past Babson College, 4-2, in NEWMAC field hockey action on Saturday afternoon. With the win, the Engineers (13-4, 6-2 NEWMAC) secured the No. 3 seed in the upcoming NEWMAC Tournament while the Beavers (10-8, 5-3 NEWMAC) claimed the No. 4 spot. Both squads will host a quarterfinal game on Tuesday, Nov. 5 with opponents to be announced following the conclusion of the regular season.
MIT put the pressure on early, forcing senior goalie Kayla Florence (Milton, Mass.) to make three saves in the opening minutes. Babson responded with two shots on goal before senior Alex Cabreros (San Diego, Calif.) sent a pass from the near side that bounced off several sticks in the arc before classmate Julia Pochini (Acton, Mass.) tapped it in after 11:54 elapsed.
The Engineers responded with the equalizer almost six minutes later. During a scramble in front of the net, the ball was sent to the far side of the arc where it was corralled by junior Elizabeth Dethy (Morristown, N.J.) who put a shot back into the scrum that was redirected by classmate Caitlin Mackey (San Diego, Calif.) at the near post. MIT controlled the action down the stretch, generating seven penalty corners and six shots on net before going up 2-1 with 2:53 left in the half. Following a penalty corner, senior Michelle Teplensky (Somers, N.Y.) fired the ball towards the cage but it was lifted up by sophomore Morgan Gulliver's (Stamford, Conn.) stick. However, freshman Krishna Jaitly (Bethesda, Md.) batted the airborne ball into the top left corner of the goal.
The Cardinal and Gray carried the momentum into the second stanza but Babson fought off the hosts' attempts at gaining some breathing room. Sparked by a pair of penalty corners, the Beavers' offense found its rhythm as senior Morgan Lockwood (Feeding Hills, Mass.) and freshman Victoria Spofford (Merrimac, Mass.) made a pair of deep runs only to be thwarted by MIT's backline. Babson broke through in the 54th minute when sophomore Elizabeth Holmes (Southborough, Mass.) found junior Caroline Malone (Walpole, Mass.) in transition for the tying marker.
Despite the setback, the Engineers continued to attack and eventually took the lead for good at the 12:54 mark when senior Molly Duffy (New Providence, N.J.) tapped in the rebound of her previous shot. The game became a back-and-forth affair during the next few minutes as the Beavers' best opportunities were a Lockwood bid that was turned away by sophomore goalie Evie Kyritsis (Mountain Lakes, N.J.) and a penalty corner both occurring in the 61st minute. MIT kept Babson pinned in its defensive end for the remainder of the game, capping the scoring on another Mackey-Dethy connection with 36 seconds on the clock.
In net, Kyritsis made four saves for the Engineers while Florence amassed 18 saves for the Beavers.

Guide to most family-friendly cruises
Nearly every cruise line has expanded its kid-friendly offerings in recent years -- from dedicated children's play areas to kid-friendly amenities to special cabins for larger families.
Looking for a cruise that will keep every member of the family happy? You need a ship that offers a range of activities for both the young and the old.
The good news is that nearly every cruise line has expanded its offerings for children in recent years as the market for family cruises takes off. On the biggest ships, it's no longer uncommon to have expansive on-board children's play areas broken down into separate zones for different age groups; multiple family-friendly pool areas; deck-top water parks with multiple water slides; video arcades and other kid-friendly amenities (Royal Caribbean's two latest ships, Allure of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas, even have family-focused outdoor amusement areas called the Boardwalk with hand-carved wooden carousels, carnival games and an outdoor high-diving show).
In general, the biggest mass-market lines (with the biggest, most amenity-filled ships) also tend to be the best for families because of the sheer volume of child-friendly things to do on their vessels. Lines that operate smaller vessels, including the major luxury lines, generally offer fewer activities for children. In addition to Disney Cruise Line, which has staked its business on catering to families, large mass-market lines Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian and Princess are top choices for families due to the diversity and quality of their children's programs and on-board entertainment.
Which specific ship is the best for your family? It'll depend, in part, on the age of your children. Some lines (Disney, for instance) are particularly appealing to families with younger children, while others are great for tweens and teens. Royal Caribbean, for instance, draws many families with older children due to its many teen-luring deck-top amusements such as rock climbing walls, miniature golf courses and (on its latest ships) surfing pools and zip lines.

MORE: Who wins the cruise ship entertainment smackdown?
Be warned that the family-friendliness of ships varies not just from line to line but within fleets. In general, the newest ships at the big mass-market lines tend to have the most family-friendly amenities. And at any given line, a bigger ship generally will have more children's attractions than a smaller one. There will be a lot more for children on Princess Cruises' 4-year-old, 3,080-passenger Ruby Princess than it's 13-year-old, 688-passenger Pacific Princess.
In a nod to larger families, several lines such as Royal Caribbean and Disney have been adding more specialized family cabins that can hold five or even six people at a time (in contrast to the typical two- to four-person capacity of traditional cabins), and connecting cabins also are becoming come common. In recent years, several lines also have followed Disney in bringing characters on board some of their ships, notably Norwegian (with Nickelodeon characters such as SpongeBob) and Royal Caribbean (with DreamWorks characters such as Shrek). Disney cruises, of course, feature an array of Disney characters, including digital animated characters in kids clubs that converse with children.

MORE: Five things on the Disney Dream that will leave you dreamy
Overall, if you've never been on a cruise ship before, you may be surprised by the depth of children's programs on many ships as compared to resorts on land. On the biggest ships operated by such lines as Carnival and Disney, it's not uncommon to have dozens of children's camp counselors on every cruise, and scheduled children's activities run from early in the morning until well past dinner time (usually for no extra charge).
Carnival, which carries more children than any other line, is typical in offering separate programs on every ship for those ages 2 to 11 (Camp Carnival); 12-14 (CircleC) and 15-17 (Club 02). Camp Carnival is broken into three groups, ages 2-5, 6-8 and 9-11, with each offering such counselor-led activities as finger painting, game playing, dance parties and talent shows. The tween group, Circle C, offers its own set of supervised activities, as does the teen-focused Club 02. On all Carnival ships, there are dedicated space for Circle C and Club 02, with the latter getting its own teen club with video monitors, non-alcoholic bars and dance floors.
Carnival says its children's counselors all have experience or education in child care, are trained in first aid and CPR, and undergo background checks before they're hired.
There is no charge for kids to attend the Carnival children's programs from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. An after-hours program for 2- to 11-year-olds available from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. costs extra.
ARCHIVES: Carnival to offer late-night kids program on cruise ships fleetwide
Until recently, few cruise lines offered programs for children under 2. But a growing trend among major lines is to offer day-care services for babies as young as 6 months old. Royal Caribbean's Royal Babies and Tots Nurseries, now on five ships (Allure of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas, Freedom of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas and Radiance of the Seas) offers parents a by-the-hour drop-off option for babies as young as 6 months for an hourly charge.

Einstein main content.
November 15, 2002 — January 1, 2003
Important information about Museum entry on November 21.
November 15, 2002 — January 1, 2003
He was daring, wildly ingenious, passionately curious. He saw a beam of light and imagined riding it; he looked up at the sky and envisioned that space-time was curved. Albert Einstein reinterpreted the inner workings of nature, the very essence of light, time, energy, and gravity. His insights fundamentally changed the way we look at the universe—and made him the most famous scientist of the 20th century.
We know Einstein as a visionary physicist, but he was also a passionate humanitarian and anti-war activist. Born a German Jew, Einstein truly considered himself a citizen of the world. His celebrity status enabled him to speak out—on global issues from pacifism to racism, anti-Semitism to nuclear disarmament. "My life is a simple thing that would interest no one," he once claimed. But in fact, his letters, notebooks and manuscripts tell a dramatically different story. Einstein saw the universe as a puzzle, and he delighted in trying to solve its mysteries. All he needed to contemplate the cosmos was his most valuable scientific tool—his imagination.

"The Christian Crisis"
John Main OSB, THE PRESENT CHRIST (New York: Crossroad, 1991), pp. 74-76.
The call to the modern person, the call to all of us, is to become spiritual, and to become spiritual we have to learn to leave behind our official religious selves—that is, to leave behind the Pharisee that lurks inside all of us—because, as Jesus has told us, we have to leave behind our whole self. All images of ourselves coming as they do out of the fevered brain of the ego, have to be renounced and transcended if we are to become one with ourselves, with God, with our brethren—that is, to become truly human, truly real,truly humble.
Our images of God must similarly fall away. We must not be idol-worshippers. Curiously, what we find is that they fall away as our images of self fall away, which suggests what we always guessed anyway, that our images of God were really images of ourselves. In this wonderful process of coming into the full light of Reality, of falling away from illusion, a great silence emerges from the center. We feel ourselves engulfed in the eternal silence of God. We are no longer talking to God or worse, talking to ourselves. We are learning to be—to be with God, to be in God. [. . . .]
On the spiritual journey it takes more energy to be still than to run.. . . .Most people spend so much of their waking hours rushing from one thing to another that they are afraid of stillness and of silence. A certain existential panic can overtake us when we first face the stillness, when we first enter into this state of pure being. But if we can once find the courage to face this silence, we enter into the peace that is beyond all understanding. No doubt it is easier to learn this in a balanced and stable society. In a turbulent and confused world there are so many more deceptive voices, so many calls for our attention. [. . . .]
We trivialize ourselves if we set limits to the energy available to us for this inner journey—the journey to our own heart, to the presence of Christ within us. . .The power source from which we draw our dynamism for this journey is inexhaustible, as St Paul tells us, "It can be measured by nothing less than the power that God exercised in raising Jesus from the dead."
Meditate for Thirty Minutes.... Remember: Sit down. Sit still and upright. Close your eyes lightly. Sit relaxed but alert. Silently, interiorly, begin to say a single word. We recommend the prayer-phrase "Maranatha." Recite it as four syllables of equal length. Listen to it as you say it, gently, but continuously. Do not think or imagine anything—spiritual or otherwise. Thoughts and images will likely come, but let them pass. Just keep returning your attention—with humility and simplicity—to saying your word in faith, from the beginning to the end of your meditation.
After Meditation...
"Infinite Silence," Fr. David Maria Turoldo (born 1916, Servite order), from UDII UNA VOCE, Mondadori, 1951.
Lord, for You only do I sing,
that I may ascend
to where only You are,
infinite joy.
To joy turns my weeping
when I begin to invoke You.
Only in You do I rejoice,
awesome vertigo.
I am your shadow.
I am deep disorder,
my mind the faint firefly
in the deep darkness
who goes looking for You, inaccessible light.
For you this heart faints,
this shell that is full of your Echo,
O infinite Silence.

Maybin was fined $7,875 for ``unnecessarily'' striking Luck with his elbow after blocking him during an interception return by Antonio Cromartie. The penalty wiped out Cromartie's touchdown.
Detroit defensive end Lawrence Jackson was fined $15,750 for hitting Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick below the knees in the Lions' 26-23 overtime victory. Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson was hit for a $10,000 fine for simulating shooting a gun during a touchdown celebration.

In the same year the King conceded to William de Ferrers that of 300 marks by which he made fine with him because he had married Sibilla his daughter to Francus de Bohun without his assent and licence that the render should be 20Li. annually until the sum was paid. In the same year both William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, and Agnes, his countess, were deceased, and their lands taken into the King's hands and committed to custody, as we learn from an entry on the Fine Roll, dated at Westminster 25th September 1247 ; and on the 10th of November following the King took the homage of William de Ferrers of all the lands and tenements which had been those of Agnes, late Countess of Derby, of which the Castle of Chartley, com. Stafford, was the chief seat.

Toyota Released Online Prius c Configurator
- The new Prius c features four trim levels.
- Base models start at $19,710 including destination.
- Fuel economy will top 50 mpg in city and highway driving.
Although Toyota's newest Prius is a few weeks away from going on sale, interested car shoppers can now configure one online. The automaker recently released an online configurator for the Prius c, which is the newest - and smallest - member of the Prius family.
According to the Prius c's configurator, the compact hybrid is available in four trim levels. The base-level model, dubbed the Prius c One, starts at $19,710 including destination and offers a surprisingly generous list of standard equipment that includes automatic climate control, Bluetooth, a 3.5-inch center-mounted display screen, and a USB port and iPod connection for music.
Buyers interested in adding a few extra features can step up to the Prius c's mid-level Two and Three trim levels. Starting at $20,660 including destination, the Prius c Two adds a 60/40 split-folding rear seat with adjustable headrests, a tonneau cover for the cargo area and cruise control, while the Prius c Three includes Toyota's keyless "Smart Key" access, a standard navigation system and HD radio in its $22,395 base price.
Topping the Prius c's range is the upscale Prius c Four, which starts at $23,990 with shipping and adds eight-spoke alloy wheels, heated exterior mirrors with turn signals, heated seats and integrated fog lamps to its list of standard equipment. Among the Prius c's available colors are an orange shade dubbed Habanero, a light green called Summer Rain Metallic and several variations on white, gray, red, black and blue.
Each Prius c model also includes a standard 99-horsepower 1.5-liter hybrid four-cylinder powerplant, which is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission for a whopping 53 miles per gallon in city driving and 50 mpg on the highway. Only available with front-wheel drive, the Prius c seats five passengers and features four doors plus a rear liftgate.
Expected to debut this spring, the Prius c is slotted below the original Prius and the larger Prius v in the growing Prius family. According to Toyota, the Prius lineup will be supplemented yet again later this year by the upcoming Prius Plug-In Hybrid, which features a plug-in drivetrain capable of running on pure electricity for limited distances.
If you're interested in viewing the online Prius c configurator and building one yourself, check it out here. [http://www.toyota.com/priusc/]
What it means to you: A new entry-level Prius makes hybrid technology even more accessible to buyers.

in fact you should not use the residuals but the phenofile shoud contain the original phenotype and the covariates also.
However, it is still not clear if the invmat correlation matrix should be generated from a run of polygenic_hglm where the covariates were included or when they were excluded.
So is this the proper approach?:
1) Use polygenic_hgm with trait.type = "binomial" to compute the required correlation matrix, while adjusting for the covariates:
Code: Select all
polygene <- polygenic_hglm(obesity ~ age + as.factor(sex) + I(age^2) + age:as.factor(sex), ibs2, data, trait.type = "binomial",verbose=TRUE)
invmat <- polygene$InvSigma * polygene$h2an$estimate[length(polygene$h2an$estimate)]
2) Then use palogist --mmscore to regress the binary trait against exactly the same set of covariates plus the SNP of interest.
The InvSigma matrix is computed by the polygenic_hglm program as follows:
Code: Select all
Sigma <- tVar * out$esth2 * relmat + diag(tVar * (1 - out$esth2), ncol = length(y), nrow = length(y))
out$InvSigma <- ginv(Sigma)
Code: Select all
tVar <- res_hglm$varRan + res_hglm$varFix
out$esth2 <- res_hglm$varRan/tVar
so it is scaled by the esth2 estimate of heritability, but if we are estimating h2 while adjusting for exactly the same set of covariates,
then I think this might be O.K.
Thank you,

Loans For Small Businesses – Find a Business Loan in Three Simple Steps –
Find a Business Loan in Three Easy Steps
Loans For Small Business
The Huffington 1 Post recently reported; that getting a loan for your small business, it may come down to where you go, not whom you know. Banking Grades 2. a new grading tool found that some of the nation's biggest banks have the worst performance in terms of small-business lending.
Meanwhile, banks that recorded the best small-business lending performance are the ones most entrepreneurs could not readily identify by name.
This may not be a coincidence. Alternative lending institutions generally are much better at making small-business loans than bigger well-known banks. This is because loan officers and credit officers typically work more closely with loan applicants by working on a loan together, the officer can find the best way to get it done, based on your business specific needs. Small-business loans typically require careful thought and creativity.
Experian Business Loan Finder excels in matching you with the right type of loan for your needs.
Get Matched With a Lender
One of the biggest ironies in the lending and banking world is the actual definition of small in the term small business loan. The Small Business Administration 3 defines small as a retail business earning $7 million a year in revenue.
Ninety-eight percent of businesses earn less than $1 million a year in revenue. Classifying businesses in arbitrary size categories causes traditional banks to miss out on many sound and ultimately profitable investments. That s why evaluating every business based on its need is at the forefront of how we match businesses with lenders.
By considering your business and its unique needs, we can match you with a lender and financial products and services tailored to meet your needs. Experian Business Loan Finder has worked with hundreds of businesses, both small and large. Each business is matched with a lender that works hard to understand the specific needs of the business and is dedicated to finding creative lending solutions appropriate for both parties.
Success Story
Losina Art Center, located in San Diego, Calif. has created an environment where beginners, emerging artists, and accomplished professionals can learn and work creatively together. Almost immediately after the art center opened its doors, the need to expand to meet customer demand became apparent.
Owners Billy Beatty, and his wife Olya Losina, did what most small business owners do. They started visiting the banks in the area to find a loan. Unfortunately, going bank to bank isn t the best way to find financing.
After completing a profile, the owners were connected to a lender willing to finance their business. Before long, the business had the capital it needed to expand and grow.
How It Works
We work with thousands of small-business owners every year. Each business is matched with a lender that works hard to understand the specific needs of the business and is dedicated to finding creative lending solutions that are most appropriate to the situation.
- Take a couple of minutes to answer a few questions and create an account
- Lenders will contact you in a few days
- Review your loan options
- Choose the perfect loan
- Work with your lender to complete the loan process
There are no fees to start or to set up your account, with your business loan information.

Defenders of the school bake sale, rejoice! The Massachusetts Legislature is stepping in to save your homemade lemon squares from the horrors of government overreach!
That was the triumphant news from Beacon Hill this week, after a loud and predictable brouhaha over rules handed down by the state Department of Public Health. Announce a ban on anything — sugary sodas, inefficient light bulbs — and the talk-radio hordes will go wild. And depriving innocent children of the chance to make money selling cupcakes? It's heresy. The Boston Herald collected dismissive quotes from TV's "Cake Boss." Anderson Cooper, arbiter of all things good and right, put the bake sale ban on his "RidicuList." Now, state lawmakers have cooked up a scheme to allow towns to exempt themselves.

I just loved the recent news that Match.com—probably the most famous online dating site—is going offline.
Well, not completely offline. But after turning the dating world upside-down back in 1995 by putting the mating ritual onto the web, Match management is going old-school.
The company announced recently that it will add live events to its romance rodeo, all the better for clients to lock eyes, catch their breath and lose their hearts.
I wonder which relationships will last longer—those launched online or in real-time?

Silver Wheaton : Cramer says sell.
Ebix : Ebix is a good enterprise software company, the "Mad Money" host said. However, he thinks Guidewire Software is even better.
American Realty Capital Trust : Cramer prefers Annaly Capital Management because of its dividend.
Yum! Brands : Cramer thinks this is a terrific stock.
Medtronic : Cramer is a seller of Medtronic. He would buy Allergan instead.
NovaGold Resources : The company's splitting off of its copper assets will create a lot of value, Cramer said. However, no one likes the gold miner stocks. He would "keep it in check and wait for it to go below $7."
Time Warner : People may not realize it, but TWX is a housing play, Cramer said. He likes it very much.
CSX: Cramer doesn't like the coal stocks and CSX ships a lot of coal.
When this story was published, Cramer's charitable trust owned Yum! Brands.

Cleaning Up the Leftovers
THAT OTHER CC AKRON/CANTON CHANGE: With all the attention about the item involving the replacement of Al Franken with Ed Schultz on Clear Channel Akron liberal talker WARF/1350 "Radio Free Ohio", we forgot word on another change in the cluster.
OMW hears that WARF sister talker WHLO/640 is picking up Premiere's new weekend show with Bob Costas. WHLO will air the Costas show Sunday evenings between 8 and 10 PM, starting this Sunday.
It feeds as early as Saturday morning at 6 AM, where Salem sportstalk WKNR/850 airs it in Cleveland. Or, according to their website, maybe they air "award-winning broadcaster Bob Castas"...whoever HE is.
But we like the Sunday night placement. Not only are we generally not awake at 6 AM on a Saturday - who is? - but that's where Costas' old show "Costas Coast-to-Coast" aired. It seems to us to be the perfect time, though we suspect some sports fans are watching "NBC's Sunday Night Football" at that hour instead.
SPEAKING OF FOOTBALL: OMW gives a nod to Wooster's WQKT/104.5 "SportsCountry" for an annual tradition.
The Dix Communications country/sports outlet is airing every single game in the state High School Football Championships, starting today and ending with tomorrow's Division I championship contest between Mentor and Hilliard Davidson.
WQKT has been doing this for many, many years, and they air all of the games no matter who is playing...even if there are no Wayne or Holmes County teams in the contest.
By the way, that Division I game tomorrow night will be carried on the radio in Cleveland by Salem. No, not on sportstalk WKNR/850, but on sister talker WHK/1420.
WKNR's website is still promoting the game, though, with the station's Mike Catan and Josh Sabo doing the honors of calling the game, along with Casey Kulas and Chris Fedor.
UPDATE 12/2/06 10:05 AM: We're told that the game is airing on WHK because of a Cleveland State Vikings game on WKNR. We keep forgetting that WKNR actually has the Vikings...
SHE'S ABOARD: Since our last item about the appearance of former WYTV/33 meteorologist Melissa Mack on Cleveland FOX O&O WJW/8, it appears she's been permanently announced as part of the "FOX 8" news team.
OMW readers saw her being introduced on the station's "FOX 8 News in the Morning" as a new second meteorologist to Andre Bernier on that show, and it was also announced that she'll be seen on the station's noon newscast.
That information is confirmed by her brand new FOX 8 bio page, which - according to the time stamp - was put on the MyFoxCleveland.com site just this morning.
And in case you missed her introduction, you can watch one of her first appearances on Thursday morning via video on this page...
BYE, BYE, JERRY, JERRY?: It's almost anti-climactic considering the downward trajectory of Jerry Springer's radio career path, so we'll not even give it a full item.
But it appears the TV Talkmeister may be stepping down from his midday radio talk show, which started as a Clear Channel project, and eventually was picked up by Air America Radio.
That's a nugget in this column by Chicago Sun-Times radio/TV guru Robert Feder. Feder reports that Springer's just lost his Chicago affiliate, with Jones Radio's Stephanie Miller picking up an 8-11 AM live clearance on Windy City rimshot liberal talk outlet WCPT/850.
From Feder's column:
Jerry Springer, whose talk show has been airing from 8 to 11 a.m., exits the Newsweb Corp. station for now -- and could be stepping down from radio entirely.
We don't know if Feder knows something, but Springer is partially based in Chicago, where he tapes his TV show, and splits his radio time with Cincinnati's Clear Channel facility.
But we do know that Springer is talking to not a lot of people on the radio lately. We'd be hard pressed to come up with an affiliate list for him outside of his Cincinnati flagship, WSAI/1360.
Stations have dumped him right and left (or left and left), and Chicago was his only major market affiliate outside of the Queen City. The move of his show from the main Air America Radio schedule to its syndication arm screamed of "we're parking it here while he's still doing it"...
6 comments:
Speaking of WYTV. Jim Loboy who has been on WYTV on some weekends was on Friday Morning doing weather. Did Jim leave HOT101 for WYTV? Jim is part of the Hot101 wake up crew with AC and Kelly.
As far as the high school football championships go, CSU hoops is airing on WKNR tonight at 8 pm.
Since 850 is the Viking Flagship, they are obligated to carry that game. But they're able to keep the football game in house by shifting it to WHK.
Loboy used to do weather for 33 back in the 90's. Then he went to TV 21 for awhile when he was off of WHOT.
I believe 'HOT still gets their weather from TV 21, as do the other Cumulus stations.
Doesn't Clear Channel use Channel 33?
If Loboy is doing weather on the CC stations, that would be quite funny.
K-105 and WSOM use weather for WYTVand For the people on MY-YTV is a co production of WSOM/WYTV. Clear channel uses WKBN/WYFX for weather/news. So when you hear Loboy doing weather updates on K-105 for WYTV it sounds a little out of place for him since he is on hot 101 and until a few years ago on rock 104 which btw 104's studio is across the hall form k-105's studio on simion road.
But at one time WYTV supplied weather/news to the clear channel stations inculding 570 WKBN.
Yep WHOT/WYFM get their news/weather from WFMJ and the CW guy/gal from WBCB does weekends on WHOT.
i do believe that costas premiers sat night at 7pm on CC newstalker WKBN Radio.

Vagos motorcycle club targeted in Southern California crime sweep
There are 4849 comments on the SF Gate story from Mar 9, 2006, titled Vagos motorcycle club targeted in Southern California crime sweep. In it, SF Gate reports that:Hundreds of law enforcement officers targeted the Vagos motorcycle club Thursday in a Southern California sweep that netted 25 arrests of leaders and associates of what officials labeled an outlaw gang.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at SF Gate.
#1 Mar 10, 2006
I was in southern California two weeks ago and went to a bar where there were many Vagos members and other motorcycle club members, and not only was there no violence, they were there raising money for the Boys and Girls Club.
Perhaps the ATF ought to take a closer look before they make broad sweeping accusatory comments about groups of people. If the group they targeted was based on skin color, it would have been blatant racism, now wouldn't it?
United States
#2 Mar 10, 2006
Don't worry, I'm sure the fuzz plated some evidence and smoked the rest
#3 Mar 10, 2006
Racism? Maybe, it was based on smell, fly impacted teeth, matted windblown knappy hair, and alcohol smelling burps. Well, maybe that's racist, too. After all, anything and everything is based on racism now days.
#4 Mar 10, 2006
...for the record, it is spelled, " planted !". lol
#5 Mar 12, 2006
Well i can speak first hand,I feel that this whole ordeal should not have happened because the Vagos Motorcycle CLUB not GANG is a family kind of club. As a friend of mine said "THERE MIGHT BE A FEW BAD APPLES IN THE GROUP BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE THE WHOLE CLUB BAD.AND PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS. SPEAKING AS A CHILD OF A MEMBER THIS WHOLE BUST IS WRONG. BUT THERE IS ALOT OF STUFF THAT I DONT KNOW.THEY ARE PEOPLE TOO
#6 Mar 13, 2006
Yea, so are the families are major South American drug cartels. So are the families of the Coyotes that leave undocumented immigrants in the desert to die. So are the Asians who deal in the trade of human flesh. They're all people, too. And they're nice to their families. It doesn't make what they're doing any less wrong, or illegal.
#7 Mar 26, 2006
Those ATF Agents that investigate and perform these search and arrest warrants use evidence to in order to get the warrants in the first place, not "broad sweeping accusatory comments". Remove your head from your butt, ok?
#8 Apr 2, 2006
Hey "not an idiot" the fed that obtained the warrant to raid he HA clubhouse in SD a couple years ago admitted he lied to obtain the warrant. MILLIONS $$ and who knows how many man hours. What a PATHETIC waste of tax dollars.
A while back the ENTIRE (19 cops) LA Sheriffs "Major Narcotics Crime Unit" (now defunct) went to jail. Isn't it funny none of the bikers they were investigating did?
If I had to guess why so much money is being wasted persecuting bikers I'd say it's because now that most of he meth is being manufactured in Mexico, narks aren't getting the bribes they were once accustomed to.
Kind if funny the MC that is involved with the Mexican street gangs that distribute the chit isn't getting messed with like the clubs that haven't been involved in it for a couple decades don't you think?
#9 Apr 4, 2006
The bikers didn't, because all of the evidence obtained had to be thrown out. It wasn't, because they weren't guilty, it was, because of a technicality in the law.
#10 Apr 15, 2006
I ride with the Vagos all the time and I have never seen anything out of the ordinary... Simple as that
#11 Apr 15, 2006
"Ordinary" is subjective to the collective one is referring to.
#12 Apr 24, 2006
the cia dont like any one getting a slice of there dope pie
#14 May 5, 2006
so are ignorant stereotypical, mindless people. Do you really think one bad apple makes the whole tree bad?
#17 May 7, 2006
One bad apple rots the whole barrel.
#18 May 9, 2006
I don't think it is possible for him to remove it, they are probably both one in the same. Hey jackass, what evidence do YOU have that they were raising money for the "Boys and Girls Club"???
#19 May 9, 2006
There's good and bad in all walks of life if you realy want to know what goes on then hang out, you'd be surprised to find that the code of ethics involved in the motor cycle club sub-culture is alot more demanding than your back stabing "day to day" society. there's good cops and bad cops just like I'm sure there's good Vagos and bad Vagos just like anything else...
#20 May 10, 2006
Don't kid yourself. They're more then a regular MC club raising money for charities, but not really 1%'s either. They're "wanta-be's". I grew up around them in Adelanto. Back then they thought they were tough because Boston could tell the barmaid at the Hanger Inn not to wear red and white clothes. I don't think he would have pushed that view down the hill.
#21 May 10, 2006
All crap aside, I never seen or heard of them causing problems when I was coming up, but that was a long time ago. They kept to themselves, and when they partied, the cops used to go sleep at the dump. (Funny to remember that). But I NEVER heard of them causing problems with the average Joe on the street. Maybe they've changed now - gotten a lot worse and drawn the interest of law enforcement. I'm not sure. I can say that there's a lot more white collar crimes going on that are more dangerous to America then what I remember of the Vagos.
United States
#22 May 14, 2006
With typing like that I'm sure they plated something, perhaps your skull
