These are pictures from Friday night, the evening before Voyageur. Carlton is just south of Duluth, for those not familiar with the area.
SR starts out with a smile.
But is soundly beaten by Sammy Korir, who ran the 5k as a practice run in a time of just over 14 minutes. Here were the first three men with Korir in the middle. SR ended up taking fourth with a time of 16:32, which he was quite pleased with on a nearly 90 degree night.
Later that night, I had my standard pre-ultra panic attack, this time my problem was my S-caps hadn't arrived in the mail and we couldn't find anywhere that sold them. They told us at the packet pick-up that there wouldn't be S-caps at the aid stations, so I started freaking out. Especially if it were going to be near 90 Fahrenheit.
But I calmed down as we, just like last year, ate dinner at the Indian Palace in Duluth. We went to bed at 10 and I slept almost 8 hours. That is one great thing about being pregnant: when you lay down to sleep, you sleep. For someone who constantly has trouble sleeping, this is wonderful. Or maybe it was just my continued jetlag.
We made it to the race 20 minutes before the start and, yay, there was Helen Lavin greeting everyone. She came up and gave me a big hug, like a good old friend. It was so nice to hear her beautiful Irish accent again. AND she had a baggy filled with S-caps and she gave me the whole thing for the race. Now I was really ready. Thanks, Helen!
There were actually a bunch of people who welcomed me and they were all wondering how they all separately knew me and I felt like I was at some sort of reunion. Valeria, who narrowly beat me last year, came up to me and said, well I'm guessing that since you're pregnant, I won't need to worry about you giving me a challenge. Well that was true. Though I didn't know exactly HOW true it was.
After Andly Holak started the race, Dusty Olson took off sprinting, far ahead of everyone else. The crowd laughed, and at least I didn't guess he actually would end up one of the leaders at the end. A bunch of women started off at what I considered lightning speed and I just did my own thing, enjoying the cool morning and technical riverside trails. I made it to the swinging bridge and the first 3.4 miles at a leisurely pace. SR was relieved to see me, as he was certain I had dropped out since I was so far behind the lead women. Nope. No complaints so far.
Helen Lavin risks her life for a good photo of Sea Legs Girl.
I was already happy I had worn a Camelbak. I hadn't run with one since the Trans-Alpine and had never run with one in a compact Camelbak backpack. I found myself loving the fact I could take small sips whenever I wanted and was never annoyed by the little pack. I refilled it five times with sports drink and I am certain I drank more than twice the amount I have ever drunk in an ultra and felt a lot better because of it. I can't imagine I will ever run an ultra without one now. The shadows make it look like there are wires under my shirt, but there were no wires there to my knowledge.
The guy you see me running with on the bridge in the red shirt is Chris, who I would run much of the race with. We passed one person after another, including at least 3 women, and made it through the first 25 miles in 4:35. This was 15 minutes slower than last year, but I wasn't complaining. I was at a bit of a low and really needed a nut roll and Helen Lavin to cheer me up. Luckily both of those things were at the aid station.
It was raining at this point and that felt wonderful. It hadn't gotten nearly as hot as I had expected it to. I had a quiet moment of celebration as I completed my first pregnant marathon and, though I was tired, I knew I would make it to the end. My hip had given me no problems whatsoever and it was as if running that far and on that diverse of terrain had jarred something back into place. Incredible. Who knows.
Then I saw SR. He ran with me and joked and, though I wasn't quite in the mood to laugh, sometimes I did despite myself. Then I made up a rule that only I could initiate conversation after he brought up some stressful subject, which I can't recall, and induced an asthma attack, but my rule lasted about 30 seconds, at which point he initiated conversation again. I learned a long time ago that SR is incapable of being silent for more than 30 seconds. I told him about 40 times that "only I initiate conversation" and it failed 40 times. But I have to admit, he kept me happy. He took a bunch of pictures of me around this time.
He told me I was in 8th place for the women. And I could see when I had met the women turning around that there would be a lot faster times this year compared to last year, except for Helen Lavin's time last year. Kim Holak was pretty solidly in the lead. And I didn't know the women in 2nd and 3rd. Valeria was in 4th, looked good, and was going significatly faster than last year..
With 20 miles to go, my red-shirted friend, Chris, caught up again. We really pushed each other and enjoyed a pretty runnable section. When we came to the fabled powerlines, the mood changed and the race really became work. Because it had rained, these very steep hills became mud slides and nearly intraversable. At some point, I realized it was easier to crawl on my hands and knees than to walk up since there was no traction on my now mud-caked shoes. I heard Chris yelling loudly at the last hill. Then he took off in a burst of energy. Cool! Sadly, there would be no bursting on my part. I was feeling like a brontosaurus might feel: incapable of doing anything quickly. But I also didn't slow down too much.
SR joined me again for the last 8 miles. I needed company at that point, so it was nice. I didn't convey to him that it was nice, but it was. I didn't actually feel sore.
This is also when I announced to SR my idea of taking a good dose of magnesium that night to help prevent both muscle cramps and uterine cramps. Maybe this will be a standard for pregnant racers in the future. It is safer that ibuprofen.
Finally we emerged from the woods and there was just a half a mile to the finish. I realized I could make it under 10:35, so I started sprinting to the finish line, much to the crowd's amusement, and came in in 10:34:48. Okay, it was 50 minutes slower than last year, but I also didn't push myself like last year and felt tired, but not a ripped apart. Andy Holak handed me a super cool Voyageur mug, which all of the top 10 finishers received. I was 8th place the entire second half and that is where I stayed. There were 156 registered runners.
I saw my trail friend Chris again and he said his burst of energy had taken him to the finish line in 10:10. Wow. I was impressed. Valeria shaved a good 40 minutes off her time from last year to take 4th. She explained how she had really been pushed along by the top 3 women. But she revealed her real training secret, which is she is getting a divorce and has found herself with tons of time to train. Divorces are rarely happy events, but I found myself swept up in her optimism and fresh outlook on life.
Top three women were: Kim Holak, Connie Lutkevich and Angie Radosevich. The third place woman, Angie, is new in the ultra scene, but has a 2:48 marathon PR. She told me she ran her first marathon without "much" training in 2:50. If that is true, "talent" is more important than I'd like to admit. But interestingly, it takes more than just the ability to run a fast marathon to really excel at a trail ultra, as both the male and female winners were experienced trail runners. Chris Gardner finished first for the men in 6:55, outrunning another new ultra runner, Chris Lundstrom, who has a sub 2:20 marathon PR.
Everything about this race went better than I expected. But then again, I didn't really know what to expect. I was glad my hip didn't bother me at all. And the longest race I had run pregnant was a half marathon. I didn't know if I'd faint or die or have uterine cramping, but everything went smoothly. I got nauseated at the end, but other than that, I was really in heaven the whole day. I took all pressure off of myself and just went out to enjoy it. And I sure did. I was smiling the entire time. I absolutely LOVE the sport of ultramarathoning. AND I wouldn't hesitate to run another pregnant.
Thanks to SR for his sense of humor and encouragement as my pacer. I love you!
Running song of the day: well, I didn't listen to my ipod the entire race, since I never got bored, but one great song from our bike ride today is "Wasted Daylight" by The Stars.

She has make up on and you can't use photoshop on video.
Actually, with lots of makeup…and various pre-digital camera and darkroom tricks…and in this case, also an eating disorder.
Well, she has some make-up.
Pretty sure she had makeup. Just sayin'
Sorry to burst the bubble but make up was in egypt around 3500 bc.
Before makeup? What the hell are you talking about?
"Before makeup."
What are you talking about? Women (and men) have been wearing makeup for hundreds of years.
There has always been makeup in cinema. Even dating back to the silent era.
You know, they had makeup back then, too. Makeup is not a new concept. Beauty has always been unattainable, so people, especially women, have unrealistic expectations, and therefore submit themselves to surgery and makeup in order to try to reach that beauty. That woman definitely had makeup on, and the lighting was probably fixed just right.
There's makeup, and studio lighting. Pretty much same thing as photoshop.

SAN FRANCISCO — To get to one of the spiritual centers of San Francisco — a perfect microcosm of the city of evergreen revolutions — turn left after the high-rising office buildings downtown, saunter past Francis Ford Coppola's emerald-shaded seven-story American Zoetrope mock pagoda and halt just past the spot where Columbus Avenue meets Jack Kerouac Alley.
Or perhaps approach the official historical landmark by way of Grant Avenue, at the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown, wander past a long line of slightly kitschy tourist shops displaying quotes from Lao Tse and Jimi Hendrix and try to ignore the eco-conscious green Hello Kittys in store windows.
Out now onto busy Broadway, a raffish drag with Italian cafes on one side and tatty, once state-of-the-art topless parlors on the other, you find yourself in North Beach, an area (true to San Franciscan logic) not close to any beach at all. There, commanding a whole (tiny and irregular) city block, is the place that has for decades embodied and transformed the very notion of that endangered species, the independent bookshop. When I walked into City Lights Bookstore not long ago, I would have been surprised if the woman behind the cash register didn't sport a shaved head, a leopard-skin pillbox hat (in tribute to Bob Dylan?) and two separate pairs of glasses climbing up her forehead.
If San Francisco's great tradition is the overturning of tradition, City Lights is one of its essential monuments, a literally triangular storefront that never begins to look square. The first volumes that greeted me were by André Breton and Antonin Artaud, celebrated mischief makers from more than half a century ago; every book displayed in the window, in fact, was at once highly serious and not to be found in any other shop window I could imagine. Very quickly you see that City Lights is a little like that ideal, book-loving friend — imagine James Wood filtered through the eclectic, all-American, hip omnivorousness of David Foster Wallace — who has impeccable taste but knows that the real classics are books you've never heard of.
Yes, the shop's contents are divided into sections, but they aren't the ones you'd expect to find in Barnes & Noble: One is titled Anarchy, another Muckraking. One is denominated Stolen Continents. An entire large bookshelf is devoted to banned books (and impishly contains "The Great Gatsby" and "Madame Bovary"). And one set of shelves, reaching from floor to ceiling, contains books put out by the bookshop's imprint. In an age when publishing is said to be dying, City Lights is busy bringing out short stories by Ry Cooder; fiction by the undying hero of small presses, Charles Bukowski; and works by such graying revolutionaries as Angela Davis and Noam Chomsky.
This hunger for revolt is especially impressive in a place that could very easily rest on its laurels. It was at City Lights, after all, that Allen Ginsberg, Kerouac and Kenneth Rexroth found ways of making their voices heard. There's a Beat Museum now across Broadway from the bookshop, complete with the 1949 Hudson featured in the recent film of "On the Road," driven into the store by the film's main actor. But City Lights is the real Beat Museum, because it at once embodies the spirit that turned America on its head in the 1950s and invigoratingly carries it into a new generation. At the Beat Museum, you pay $8 to enter an inner sanctum of manuscripts and artifacts; at City Lights, you can breathe the air of revolution for free.
Not many years ago, such bastions of independent spiritedness and uncertain profits could be found everywhere, from Hatchard's on Piccadilly in London to Shakespeare & Co. across from Notre Dame in Paris. But in recent times, though those two survive, some of the hoariest sanctuaries of good taste and writerly sympathies, such as the Gotham Book Mart in New York and the Village Voice in Paris, have fallen victim to the irresistible pull of e-books and online retailers.
In truth, even megastores have not been able to withstand such forces. The small miracle of City Lights is that it seems to survive — even to thrive — without stocking "Fifty Shades of Grey" and Dan Brown; its second floor is given over to that most unsellable form of literature — poetry — and to get to it you have to walk through a room devoted to fiction, much of it difficult and European, and then a room given over to works from Asia and Latin America.
There are many ways in which you could define the Bay Area: through its ubiquitous high-tech start-ups or its cathedrals to California cooking (Chez Panisse in Berkeley, for starters) or through its abundance of natural beauty and its sushi bars (one, not far from City Lights, advertises raw fish "Like Mom Used to Make"). Irreverence, independent-mindedness and a hunger for far-off cultures have defined it ever since people began streaming into the area in 1849 in search of new fortunes from gold, and a settlement of 812 souls became within two years a city of almost 25,000, many from China, Korea and Australia, clustered around more than 1,000 gambling houses.
Nowadays, the independent bookstore might be an emblem of this. Just off Valencia Street, some blocks away, is a bookshop that offers an hour of Zen meditation before it opens on Saturdays; across the bay in Corte Madera is constantly exploding Book Passage, a mini-empire that runs trips to Italy and writing classes and has almost an entire building devoted to travel. New bookshops are appearing as quickly around the Bay Area as they're closing everywhere else.
But City Lights is the grand old daddy of eternal youth. Its founder, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, confessed some years ago to still writing poems. Now he'll be celebrating his 95th birthday on Monday, having seen a hundred revolutions (the Beats, the hippies, the struggle for gay rights, the environmental movement and now techno-gizmos 1.0 and 2.0) come and go, each changing the world a little. When I wrote him a fan letter in my teens — I used to delight in reading his poems from the chapel lectern in our 15th century English classroom — he took the time to write back to tell me that if I wanted to meet poets, I could drop by his shop any time.
Nowadays, a large sign in the shop announces, "Democracy Is Not a Spectator Sport." One section downstairs, in the dense section devoted to the arts (and sociology and travel), is called green politics. I happened to be looking for an obscure memoir by a film critic in New York, and when I mentioned it to a passing figure, he disappeared into an office and spent many minutes trying to track it down. As he did, I lost myself in shelves devoted to urban theory and Mexican history and cultural criticism, though I couldn't for the life of me find the section that is often loudest and largest in many a 21st century bookshop: autobiographies.
There are certain beloved writers — including Alexander McCall Smith and Jhumpa Lahiri — that I'd expect to find in any independent bookshop. But City Lights is not like any bookshop I know. I couldn't count on finding these kinds of authors there, but I could expect to find books I'd never see outside a university library or a secondhand bookshop in Hay-on-Wye, Wales. After 60 years, it somehow remains radical, ahead of the curve and fresher — more clearly in love with the word — than any other bookshop I know.
As I walked back onto the street, after hours of immersion in what felt like a teeming, nondigital mind, I looked again at the woman at the cash register, who was unapologetically dismissing customers in search of memoirs. The lipsticked, shaven-headed, fey figure dealing out snark turned out to be a man. Or at least someone in transition.
Shocks, transformations, even workers who take you aback more than once in a single evening are what makes City Lights as great a sight, as well as a call to new thinking, as the constantly shifting metropolis around it. San Francisco can be hard to take in all at once; its epicenter and symbol — City Lights — can be the perfect way to imbibe the local spirit in a single evening. At the entrance to the fiction room, some wise soul has scribbled, perfectly, "Abandon All Despair, Ye Who Enter Here."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - With Facebook reportedly halting trading of its stock on secondary markets, media reports suggest that the company is set to go public in May. The social networking giant is targeting May for its initial public offering, according to The Wall Street Journal, citing a source close to the matter.
Facebook has not yet set the IPO date, but could raise as much as $10 billion in the offering. According to the company's S-1 filing, which it has amended several times, it has 845 million users, generating $3.71 billion in revenue in 2011. Facebook would be the largest social networking company to go public to date. Companies such as LinkedIn ( LNKD), Groupon ( GRPN - Get Report), and Zynga ( ZNGA - Get Report) went public amidst the social-networking craze. Facebook could not be immediately reached for comment.

All Shall Be Well - Julian of Norwich
Inscription: ALL SHALL BE WELL ALL SHALL BE WELL AND ALL MANNER OF THINGS SHALL BE WELL
Julian of Norwich (1342 – to circa 1413) was an English mystic who spent part of her life as an anchorite or hermit. She had a series of visions about which she wrote and her writings have amazingly survived over the centuries. Unusually for her time she saw the Trinity as Father, Mother, Lord - which appeals today to people looking for a fresh approach to spirituality. In her prayers and meditations she assures us that in the Love of God all shall be well. "All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing(s) shall be well"..... The wording on the tile forms a spiral, in itself much used in the early Christian church of Britain and Ireland to represent growth and fulfilment. This unique spiritual gift has an optimistic message for those who need comfort and reassurance.
Fixing Points: Four holes: in each corner of the tile
Dimensions: 9.8cm x 9.8cm

That's very poor wording, so let me be more precise. Suppose $L$ is an unambiguous regular language on an alphabet $\{a_1, \dots, a_n\}$, and suppose to each letter of the alphabet we associate two non-negative integers $(x_i,y_i)$ which are not both zero. Associate to a word $w$ the sum of the pairs of integers associated to each of its letters; call this $M(w) = (x, y)$.
Let $L'$ be the language consisting of all words such that $M(w) = (x, x)$ for some $x$. Is $L'$ an unambiguous context-free language?

Long Island's longest barrier island lost more than half of its beaches and dunes when it was battered by Sandy last October, according to a federal study released Tuesday.
Fire Island, which runs along the southern coast of Long Island from Babylon to Brookhaven, will be more vulnerable to future weather systems due to extensive damage wrought by last year's historic storm, the report said.
Though damage to the island was immediately apparent -- the storm washed away 200 homes in the 32-mile island's Ocean Beach resort community -- the U.S. Geological Survey's study is the first to quantify coastal changes the storm caused.
"The beaches and dunes of the island were severely eroded during Sandy," said Cheryl Hapke, the study's lead author.
The island, a popular summer getaway, was breached in three places during the storm, causing widespread damage to the coastal infrastructure and homes, Hapke said. The storm flattened beaches and eroded the island's 15-foot dunes extensively, according to surveys immediately after the storm.
The storm's surge pushed sand into some homeowners' living rooms last fall, but the study showed that the majority of the beaches washed away by Sandy found their way offshore.
In all, 54 percent of the island's volume of dunes and beaches were washed away. Nearly half of Fire Island's dunes were also covered with water at some point during the storm.
Damage from Sandy left Fire Island more vulnerable to winter storms. Surveys conducted over the winter showed that in some areas, the beach shifted inland by as much as 189 feet. Some spots recovered early this spring, but only 18 percent of the island's pre-Sandy volume has returned.
"The impact from Sandy was unprecedented in recent times," Hapke said. "It is important that efforts to rebuild the island be guided by science, which shows Sandy profoundly altered the shape and position of the barrier island, shifting it landward and redistributing large amounts of sand."
Barrier islands typically form the first line of defense against major coastal storms like Sandy.

My paternal grandmother passed away on Friday, November 8.
I am privileged to have had the most incredible grandparents, and like each of them, Grammy Marvin was the best. Her spirit cannot be captured in words, and while her body is gone, she lives on in the countless lives she touched, no matter how briefly.
I am sure that, even on the day she died, she made someone's day with her charm, smile, and laughter.
I will always hear my grandmother's voice in my head and remember how loving, joyful, and radiant she was to the very end. She deserves the most wonderful eternity, and I am so happy knowing she's there, dancing the night away.
Love you, Grammy.

Chicken eggs are the most commonly eaten egg, which are typically classified and sold in four standard sizes: medium, large, extra large, and jumbo. They are also categorized into grades, which include AA, A or B, each grade being determined by an inspector considering both the interior and exterior quality. The outside must be smooth, well formed and consistent in color. Inside, the inspector grades the yolk structure, the density of the white and the size of the air cell. Higher grades such as AA will have a well formed yolk that is high in structure surrounded by a firm-textured white that holds closely to the yolk when it is broken open. Lower grades of eggs have yolks with less depth surrounded by thinner whites that have a tendency to spread out as they cracked open. Also, lower grades will not be as fresh as the higher grades, since they have lost more moisture and contain more air. When a recipe requires a chicken's egg, it is most always referring to "large" eggs.
The shells of chicken eggs may vary in color from white to brown, which is due to the breed of hen laying the egg. Despite the color variation, there is no difference in quality or nutritional value of the egg contents.

Mariah Carey sent a video message and the stars of the long-running British TV show "Coronation Street" were among the mourners at a funeral for Manchester concert bombing victim Martyn Hett.
The music-loving 29-year-old was a self-professed "superfan" of the Manchester-set soap opera.
Hett was one of 22 people killed May 22 when a suicide bomber struck concertgoers leaving an Ariana Grande show in the city in northwest England.
Hett's "Coronation Street"-themed coffin was taken to Stockport Town Hall in Greater Manchester by horse-drawn carriage Friday for his funeral. A producer and several actors from "Coronation Street" were among hundreds of mourners at the service, whose dress code was "black and fabulous."
In a video message, Carey said "I know you're shining down on us from heaven."
Hett's father, Paul Hett, told the gathering that his son "was inspirational and this in turn inspired everyone around him."
"In a very nice way, Martyn loved being in the limelight and the center of attention," he said. "He would be loving every minute of this fantastic celebration of his life."

Regan is used to being first at everything. Imagine her horror and chagrin when she finds out the girl everyone called Pig Face in high school is going to tie the knot before she does! But Regan sucks it up and takes on bridesmaid duties along with her childhood pals: substance-abusing, promiscuous Gena and ditzy Katie. The single ladies are determined to put their bitterness aside and have an awesomely hedonistic bachelorette party.
Armed with acerbic wit and seemingly endless supplies of coke and booze, the foul-mouthed femmes embark on one very long and emotional night filled with major wedding-dress panic, various bodily fluids, and cute ex-boyfriends.

My Last Night AWOL
August 31, 2006
I am currently in a hotel outside of Crawford, TX. Tomorrow I am going to be at Camp Casey, and I am going to give a press conference talking about the year and a half I have been AWOL, and talking about my turn-in, which I am also doing tomorrow. I am turning myself over in Fort Hood, to Fort Hood authorities, which is where I was stationed as a Military Policeman. I am turning myself in as a war resistor, a person who not only disagrees with the current administrations policies, but war in general. I am nervous, I am scared, but I am going in with my head held high, knowing that what I did was right. Sometimes doing the right thing is not a popular decision in the eyes of others. Sometimes you just need to do what you need to do to the right thing.It is 11 o'clock at night and I am very tired. Tomorrow is a long day and tomorrow is going to be a hard day, because this shaved short haired guy you see in front of you is not the guy I have been the last year and a half, and they can take my body, and they can do with it what they want, but my spirit is whole and it will be intact, and I will not let the military destroy me again and take away who I am like they did during the first 2 and a half years in the military. They are not going to win. I am going to win. What I am doing is right. I am joining a long history of war resistors, many of whom have died for their beliefs and I know tomorrow they will be looking down on me and war resistors who are alive hopefully will respect what I have to say and I hope that with as big a stage as I am going to have tomorrow that I can make people proud of my message and that I can say everything that I truly want to say.

The Red Sox and Bruins were ready to return to action after a daylong, successful manhunt for a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings brought the city, and major sports along with it, to a standstill.
The Red Sox play the Kansas City Royals on Saturday afternoon following the postponement of Friday night's opening game of the scheduled three-game series at Fenway Park.
The Bruins face the Pittsburgh Penguins, also on Saturday afternoon, in a meeting of two of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference. The game had been postponed from Friday night. The Penguins' scheduled home game against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night was rescheduled for Tuesday night.
Both the Red Sox and Bruins said on their websites that they expected their games on Saturday would be played.
Friday's postponements came about four hours before the games were to start, after authorities told people throughout Boston and some of its suburbs to stay indoors while they searched for the suspect. Early in the evening, not long after mass transit resumed, authorities apprehended Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the man known as Suspect No. 2 in the bombings.
Beyond the Red Sox and Bruins, the case impacted other sporting activities planned for the weekend.
Boston College canceled all home athletic events for Saturday, including the annual spring football game.
The suspension of Amtrak train service forced the New England Revolution of MLS to change plans and travel by bus Friday morning for their game against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night at Red Bull Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey.

Story highlights
- Michael Dunn entered his plea during a hearing Monday at the Duval County, Florida, jail
- Dunn case has been compared to the "stand your ground" case involving Trayvon Martin's death
- "There are no comparisons to the Trayvon Martin situation," Dunn's lawyer says
- Dunn said he felt threatened by the teens, but no guns were found inside their car
A Florida man charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a teenager amid an argument over loud music at a gas station pleaded not guilty Monday.
Michael Dunn, 45, entered his plea during a hearing Monday morning at the Duval County, Florida, jail.
Dunn told investigators he fired at a car in which Jordan Davis, 17, and three of his friends were sitting because he felt threatened by them. No guns were found inside the teens' car, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said.
The case against Dunn, who has been jailed without bond since the November 26 shooting at the Jacksonville, Florida, gas station, has been compared to the "stand your ground" case in which George Zimmerman is charged with killing Trayvon Martin.
Similar to Martin, Davis was an African-American teen.
Dunn, indicted on a first-degree murder charge last Thursday, is no "vigilante" but did feel threatened and shot out of "self-defense," his lawyer said two days after his arrest.
"There are no comparisons to the Trayvon Martin situation," said Robin Lemonidis, Dunn's attorney. "He is devastated and horrified by the death of the teen."
Dunn told authorities that he had asked the teens to turn down the blaring music coming from their vehicle, which was parked next to his as he waited for his girlfriend to return to the car.
He heard threats from the teens, Dunn told police, and he felt threatened and thought he saw a gun in their car. He grabbed his gun and fired at least eight shots, authorities said.
"It's about loud music and it's also about anger, about having a concealed weapon in your car, knowing you have it and feel bold enough to use it because you're being shielded in the state of Florida," Jordan Davis' father, Ron Davis, told CNN. "They tell you if you have a concealed weapon, these are some of the things you can do. If you feel you're threatened in any way, then you are allowed to use your weapon."

A former military man who'd learned how to grapple while stationed in Japan, Adams was plucked out of the indie scene of the Pacific Northwest and thrust into top-level WWF storylines as the third member of Demolition, one of the most successful acts in the WWF. Demolition were themselves a semi-sanitized, cartoon version of the Road Warriors — smaller spikes, less anabolically grotesque physiques — and the connection was perhaps even stronger than that. Demolition swiped their look from The Humungus of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, the very film from which Hawk and Animal lifted their post-apocalyptic shtick. (The Masked Man)
Clint Dempsey Is Casual And Cold-Blooded | When Clint Dempsey tried to walk the ball in against Guadeloupe, it was predictably disrupted, and he was predictably blasted for being too casual. It's a particularly biting critique for soccer, the one sport where we expect American athletes' effort to outpace their skill, rather than the other way around. But it misses the essence of what makes Dempsey Dempsey, and attempts to paint a strength as a weakness. (Barry Petchesky)
Prospecting In New Jersey | You read the draft experts' various passive-aggressive scouting reports on pro prospects like Jordan Hamilton ("He's got a great personality"), and the Internet's scouting report on Kyle Singler ("reminds me of Larry Bird"). You read the last-minute delusions. Then Jan Vesely made out with his girlfriend and you said, "Awww" — until Jay Bilas got talking about tremendous hands.
136 Bud Lights For Only $680! An Unscientific Analysis Of The Boston Bruins' Epic Bar Tab From Foxwoods | The photo of this receipt is hazy (full version here), and that's how it should be. Mere hours after riding through the streets of Boston in Duck Boats, the Bruins took the Stanley Cup to the MGM Grand at Foxwoods and set to drinking. First came the bottle of Bacardi and 18 sugar free Red Bulls. (Luke O'Brien)

Piers Morgan is not going anywhere.
In response to radio host Alex Jones's petition to deport the British host because of his gun control views, the White House released a statement Wednesday stressing Morgan's right to freedom of speech.

"Let's not let arguments over the Constitution's Second Amendment violate the spirit of its First," White House press secretary Jay Carney said. "Americans may disagree on matters of public policy and express those disagreements vigorously, but no one should be punished by the government simply because he or she expressed a view on the Second Amendment — or any other matter of public concern."
The White House's response to the petition, which has garnered more than 100,000 signatures, came two days after Jones launched into a rambling pro-gun tirade on Morgan's CNN show.

Supervising Peer Writing Tutors and First-Year Seminar Mentors
December 5, 2010 | 1 Comment
At the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Research, over the course of the semester, we check in with our PWTs and FYSMs to see how they are doing, to offer advice, to help them with problems that arise. Over the first half of the semester while regular training sessions are scheduled, we see PWTs and FYSMs weekly, but we are available all through the semester to offer advice and encouragement and to deal with problems as they arise. Throughout the semester, we check in with our PWTS and FYSMs in multiple ways:
Drop-in Peer Writing Tutors, fill out a daily Tuttee Log Sheet to let us know how many students they have seen each night, to report difficulties, to ask for advice: Drop-in Tutee Log Sheet.
When we complete training each semester, we ask all our PWTs and FYSMs to evaluate our training program: FYSM Evaluation of the training progam Peer Writing Tutor Evaluation of the training program.
When the semester is slightly more than half over, we ask PWTs in classes and FYSMs to complete a survey about their work in classes: Mid-Semester Survey for FYSMs in Classes Survey for PWTs in Classes. We ask their faculty members to complete a survey about their use of PWTS and FYSMS at this time, also: Faculty Survey of FYSMs in Classes.
At then end of the semester, we ask all students who has a FYSM or PWT attached to a class to complete a written evaluation: Student Evaluations of PWTs and FYSMs in Classes. This is also another opportunity for faculty to let us know how things are going, too: Letter to FYS Faculty about FYSMs in classes, Letter to CW Faculty about PWTs in Classes.
Finally, this year we have asked all PWTs and FYSMs, to complete a Self-Evaluation. This new self-evaluation form was designed by CTLR tutors and mentors this fall: Self-Evaluation Form for PWTs and FYSMs.
Each year, we review these documents to improve our programs.

PAULSBORO, N.J. (AP) — Officials in New Jersey are backing away from an earlier claim that a bridge buckled and caused a freight train carrying hazardous chemicals to derail.
PAULSBORO, N.J. (AP) — A freight train derailed Friday on an old southern New Jersey railroad bridge that has had problems before, toppling two tanker cars partially into a creek and causing a leak of hazardous gas that was blamed for sickening dozens of people, authorities said.
Members of the National Transportation Safety Board came to New Jersey to investigate, including trying to determine whether it was a problem with the bridge that caused the derailment or the derailment that caused the partial collapse of the bridge.
A delicate operation lies ahead, as a huge crane was being brought from New York Harbor to pick up tanker cars precariously dangling from the bridge.
The accident happened just after 7 a.m. when a train with two locomotives, 82 freight cars and a caboose made its way from Camden to the industrial town of Paulsboro, just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia International Airport.
Cars went off the rails on a swing-style bridge, owned by Conrail, over Mantua Creek.
One tanker containing 25,000 gallons of vinyl chloride was sliced open in the accident and some of the gas spewed into the air, while the rest turned into a solid and settled into the bottom of the tanker.
People who live nearby said the air was smoky and had a sweet chemical smell for part of the morning.
Breathing the chemical, which is used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a material used to manufacture a variety of plastic and vinyl products including pipes, wire and cable coatings and packaging materials, can make people dizzy or sleepy. Breathing very high levels can cause you to pass out, and breathing extremely high levels can cause death. Most of the vinyl chloride is gone from your body a day after you breathe it.
More than 40 people were being treated Underwood-Memorial Hospital, most having complained of breathing problems, said spokeswoman Karen Urbaniak. She said 11 arrived by ambulance and 31 walked in. All those seen by late morning were listed in stable condition.
Residents of Paulsboro, West Deptford and East Greenwich Township were told to remain indoors early Friday before an all-clear was given. One resident walked through town Friday morning wearing a gas mask.
By late morning, state Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Larry Hajna said that sensors were not measuring any amounts of the chemical at the site.
Tom Butts, the director of emergency management for Gloucester County, said it would take at least a day to get the large crane to the site from New York Harbor to pick up the damaged cars. The recovery work was expected to take place only during daylight hours and it was not clear how long it would take.
The bridge usually supports at least three major trains each day serving refineries and other customers in this industrial area. It was rebuilt after it buckled in 2009.
State Senate President Stephen Sweeney, whose district includes Paulsboro, said he had been told that complaints had been made in recent weeks about noise coming from the bridge and that Conrail was looking into it. But he said he didn't have any details.
At a news conference, Conrail spokesman John Enright said that the company is concerned with safety and cooperating with authorities, but he would not take any questions.
Early in the day, State Assemblyman John Burzichelli, a former mayor of Paulsboro who was serving as spokesman for the town, said he believed that it was a problem with the bridge that caused the accident. But he later backed off that, saying he did not know the cause.
The Federal Railroad Administration last inspected the bridge in January 2010 and found no defects. Railroads are required by law to conduct their own inspections. The FRA does not know when Conrail last did one.
Nine cars on a coal train derailed at the moveable bridge on Aug. 23, 2009, in an accident that was attributed to a bridge misalignment.

We're a company that develops cutting edge software that helps small-medium / independent merchants sell more and run their business efficiently.
One thing that makes us different than our competition is that a lot of our technology is internet based (hence CLOUD Retailer.com)
The kinds of apps we might provide are things like;
--point of sale (the cash register / barcode scanner / receipt printer / credit card processing equipment a clerk would used to ring a sales transaction at a store)
--e-commerce systems
--inventory, product, pricing/promotion, employee, and customer management / customer loyalty systems
--IPhone apps that allow a retailer to control their store from afar
--Etc etc.
We are delivering apps that are significantly ahead of the curve in our industry and because of our web 2.0 type model we're able to do it with huge value per dollar spent by the merchant with us.
Our target market is small to mid sized retailers internationally.
We are very often replacing old school cash registers and competitive point of sale softwares.
Most of our clients are thrifty but place strong importance on quality and will pay for things that clearly make their life easier and/or create a strong return on investment - which we do!
We're very open to ideas! The only requirement is that you come up with a logo that communicates our brand well and looks HOT!
Would also be nice if the logo could be easily used in multiple forms of media. Outside of the website it will be used on business cards, company shirts, letter heading, email signatures, etc.
Use the information about us to help with the imagery you come up with.

We have been amped about Forza Horizon here for a few weeks. It may not be a sim racer in the truest sense of the word, but does that matter when a game is this much fun?
While the full official car list is yet to be announced, the first downloadable cars were just released. They're good ones.
Since you can't import all your cars from other Forza games into Horizon (there are a few crossovers), the good folks who make the game want to make sure you're happy with the downloadable content.
The cars that will be available for the first month of the game are below:
- 2012 Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione
- 2012 Lamborghini Aventador J
- 2012 Gumpert Apollo Enraged
- 2012 Alfa Romeo 8C Spider
- 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302
- 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
Six pieces of awesome to blast around Colorado in. Forza has also announced another bit of downloadable entertainment that they're calling the "Rally Expansion Pack." Details are scarce, but it'll also have new cars, events, and achievements. They are also guaranteeing DLC cars for the first six months of the game, which is where they have Gran Turismo beat.
Great. It sounds like we'll be wasting a lot of time in front of the TV for the next few months.

Climate's best hope: Another Bush?
Environmentalists won't want to hear this, but the best hope for saving the planet may be another president named Bush.
Jeb Bush built solid green credentials during two terms as Florida's governor, spearheading a $1 billion public land acquisition program, Everglades restoration and water quality. Of late, he's using his credentials as a fiscal conservative to challenge his party's "anti-science" wing.
Story Continued Below
He's no Al Gore, but Bush's recent book tour — which continues Wednesday with a speech to the World Affairs Council in Dallas — has included an emphasis on energy that goes where few other Republican leaders have been willing to go: arguing the country's natural gas boom can curb greenhouse gas emissions.
As Bush begins to position himself for a presidential run in 2016, former aides and even some greens admit he could be positioned to achieve global warming's equivalent of a "Nixon to China" moment, especially if he had to work with a Democrat-led Congress.
( PHOTOS: Republicans, 2016 contenders)
"I can see him coming around to some combination of a cap-and-trade program as the best alternative to regulate and at the same time not completely abandoning his principles on something by going to a place where we're scientifically uncertain," said David Struhs, who served six years as the Bush-appointed head of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
"Those are the kinds of conversations that he can engage in in a way that a less familiar politician, particular in the Republican Party, can't do, even if they're intellectually capable of it," Struhs added. "They have to go hard right to prove they're conservative. Jeb Bush is given a pass there because he's already been there. He's already done it."
Greens of course won't be jumping to volunteer for another Bush campaign, especially after eight tumultuous years battling Jeb's brother on air and water pollution policies and complaints that the last White House muzzled climate scientists. Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden or another prominent Democrat will surely be most environmentalists' first choice to replace President Barack Obama.
But there are also plenty of reasons why Jeb Bush could be the man to bring climate change legislation to the promise land, helping on an issue that's dodged consensus for more than two decades and which lately has taken on an air of partisanship relegating it to Washington's back-burner.
Consider how Republicans are connected to the country's major environmental laws and policies. President Richard Nixon created the EPA and signed into law the Clean Air Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act and Endangered Species Act. Aides to President George H.W. Bush helped construct the cap-and-trade concept and then crafted the last major set of amendments to the Clean Air Act in 1990.
And while George W. Bush was all over the place on climate change — he abandoned a 2000 campaign pledge to cap emissions from power plants and fought all the way to the Supreme Court against the premise that EPA even had the authority to regulate greenhouse gases — by the end of his second term, he'd come around in support of a cap-and-trade bill.
Under Obama, climate legislation has been trapped in a partisan logjam ever since the first-term passage of a House cap-and-trade bill and then the unsuccessful attempt to find 60 Senate votes on a companion measure. Some backers of tough climate policy say Jeb Bush could help bring Republicans back to a debate the party has not wanted to engage in because of Obama.
"When we have a Republican in the White House, it forces the Republicans representing moderate states or districts to show that they're not captured by every plank of the Republican platform," said one long-time climate policy advocate. "On this issue that probably means showing they're more open to dealing with climate change than one might assume."
