10 critical Senate races
Republicans have their best shot in years at taking back the Senate in 2014, but a lot has to break their way.
They have to pick up just six seats and defend 14, unlike Democrats who have to defend 21 seats.
Story Continued Below
The mood is right for the GOP: The president is unpopular. The economy is still lagging. And Obamacare has ticked off independents.
But Republicans blew it in 2012, letting the Senate slip away despite favorable circumstances. Democrats, meanwhile, will do their best to hang on, distancing themselves from the president and his health care law.
There will be a slew of stories about sexy races across the country, such as Liz Cheney's bid in Wyoming. But POLITICO has winnowed down the list to the 10 matchups that are most likely to flip between parties — and decide who will control the Senate.
South Dakota
Republican Mike Rounds, a popular former governor, should handily pick up the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Tim Johnson , a Democrat. Leading national conservative groups have not rallied behind his primary challengers, and he's raising more money than expected.
( PHOTOS: Senators up for election in 2014)
National Democrats have slowly begun to coalesce around liberal Rick Weiland, a onetime aide to former Majority Leader Tom Daschle, after their top two recruits, former Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin and U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson, decided to sit it out.
Democrats hope former GOP Sen. Larry Pressler, who lost this seat to Johnson in 1996 and now plans to run as an independent, becomes a spoiler. But he twice endorsed Barack Obama, who lost the state by 18 points.
West Virginia
Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito is expected to easily pick up the seat of outgoing Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller. No one has emerged yet to foist a primary on the moderate daughter of a former governor in this state, where the GOP is on the rise and anti-Obama sentiment is high.
Democrats settled on West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant after more impressive candidates passed, but her awkward attempts to distance herself from Obama and his health care law have raised questions about her chops as a candidate.
( Also on POLITICO: Top governor races to watch in 2014)
Freshman Republican Rep. Steve Daines was the front-runner, but Obama's nomination of retiring Democratic Sen. Max Baucus as ambassador to China has boosted Democratic hopes of holding the seat. Lt. Gov. John Walsh, their contender, is almost certain to be appointed by the governor to fill out the last year of Baucus's term.
Walsh, the former commander of the state's National Guard, will then be running for the Senate seat as an incumbent. That cuts both ways. It can help fill his campaign coffers and avert a more serious Democratic primary. But then he also may have a voting record to defend and will no longer be able to cast himself as a Washington outsider.
Walsh has been bloodied in recent days by revelations of a 2010 Army inspector general report that found he improperly used his position as the Guard's adjutant general for private gain, exerting undue pressure on subordinates to join a private association in which he wanted a leadership position. The candidate has denied wrongdoing, noting that he was never disciplined.
Sen. Mark Pryor, who didn't even have a Republican opponent in 2008, is probably the most vulnerable incumbent running for reelection. The son of a popular former senator , Pryor is bending over backward to distance himself from Obama in a state the president lost by 24 points. But Pryor voted for Obamacare and can be easily linked with the president in commercials.
( Also on POLITICO: For 2014, D.C. players resolve to ...)
Only three sitting Democratic senators have lost in the past decade. One was Arkansas' Blanche Lincoln — crushed by 21 points in 2010.
Republicans got a dynamite recruit in freshman Rep. Tom Cotton — a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan who went to Harvard Law. Democrats point to polls that show a tied race, but other surveys have shown the relatively unknown Cotton slightly ahead. Democrats hope to define the challenger as ambitious, arrogant and focused more on advancing the House Republican agenda than looking out for Arkansas.
Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu is a survivor. The third-termer, always a top GOP target, has never won with more than 52 percent of the vote.
Because there is no primary in Louisiana, Republican Bill Cassidy must fend off challenges from his right — a retired Air Force colonel and a state representative are both running — through November. If Cassidy can keep Landrieu under 50 percent, then there will be a December runoff.
Landrieu, whose brother is the popular mayor of New Orleans, was one of the more vocal supporters of Obamacare until fairly recently. In the wake of the botched rollout, her first campaign commercial tried to portray her as focused on fixing the law.
Working in her favor: When Baucus becomes ambassador to China, Landrieu will become chairwoman of the powerful Energy and Natural Resources Committee. The state has traditionally valued seniority, and she has allied herself with the oil industry, but will voters prioritize this over her support of the president?

Kaziranga National Park is one of the prides of India. Kaziranga is the place where the nature unwinds its pristine form in millions of hues, where wildlife roams fearlessly, where man and nature meets together. This prestigious national park of India is situated in the north eastern part of the country in the district of Golaghat and Nagoan in the state of Assam. Let's go back to the beginnings of the twentieth century in the year of 1904 when this beautiful wildlife sanctuary was created, and about 68 years later it was declared as National Park by the Government of Assam.
It is noteworthy to mention that it is the host for two third of world's population of endangered Indian one-horned rhinoceros and also declared as a tiger reserve in 2006, holding the highest density of tigers in the world. The park is also a domicile for large breeding inhabitants of Elephants, wild water buffaloes and Swamp Deer. It has been declared as a forest reserve in the year of 1908 and wildlife sanctuary in the year of 1950. Covering an approximate area of 430 square kilometers, Kaziranga was declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its unique natural environment in the year of 1985. Apart from this, the park has been identified as an important bird area by Birdlife International Society as it is a home to various species of migrating and inhabitant birds. Situated on the banks of river Brahmaputra, the sanctuary is blessed with the four different kinds of vegetation. The Tropical moist mixed deciduous forests and tropical semi-evergreen forests is marked by the 41% of the tall grasses, 29% open jungle, 11% short grasses and rest is covered with the rivers and the water bodies. Its breathtaking array of flora and diverse fauna adds value to the scenic beauty of the park.
Kaziranga National Park is solitary among the foremost National Parks on the earth and also famous as the wonderful wildlife destination of the North East India. Situated in the intense geographical location, the park presents a massive range of natural beauty. Surrounded by Brahmaputra River on the North and the Karbi Anglong mounts in the South, the park offers a splendid scenic sight. The beautiful geographical vicinity of the park makes it heaven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. The title Kaziranga adopts its name to Karbi, which is the name of a woman who ruled here in ancient time. It is the only ancient park in Assam which wraps a vast region of numerous flora and fauna.
Kaziranga National Park is one of the major wildlife tourist's attractions in India. Thousands of travelers from a different part of the country and world come here every year to unlock the doors of diverse wildlife and scout the exquisiteness of the natural empire. The perfect topography with a river and its varied grasslands winds through its entire length, Kaziranga promises an adventure that you will never forget. The tourism of Kaziranga is not just about spotting one of the many one-horned rhinoceros or tigers but also to watch the three giant herbivores that reside in the park called – The Asiatic Elephant, The Swamp Deer and the Asiatic Water Buffaloes. The park has also been demarcated as an important bird area by the Birdlife International in order to promote the conservation of endangered species.
One of the many attractions in the Kaziranga National Park is exploring the hidden mystery of the dense jungle on elephants that are steered by the professional Mahout. It is a special treat to the travelers to move in the open grounds on these majestic animals.

A dozen kids add the now to our then
Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear … Memory does see the past through rose-colored glasses. Looking down all the years to my own school days, I remember anticipation as it shivered through me before school started.
School is much more exciting in these days than in mine. Rote learning, regimentation, overcrowded classrooms, overworked nuns and bullies took much of the fun out of my school days. Husband and I challenge each other for the best miserable memories, me of my Catholic and he of his Lutheran school days.
Did my kids have a better time in schools of the 1970s and '80s? I'm not so sure. They had more diversity, schooling in Illinois; Texas; New Mexico; California and Maryland. Alex found inspiration, but Nat fought to be free every day of every year.
Grandparents' Days at a range of Anne Arundel schools have shown me much more entertaining and challenging classrooms than any I entered as a student. The art in the halls is museum grade, and fourth and fifth graders are learning about concepts, like Venn diagrams, I didn't encounter until college. Teachers are often young and attractive and even more friendly and compassionate.
It looks great — yet grandson Jack has fought many grades with the same rebel spirit his uncle showed.
What's it like for kids going back to school this month?
Thus began our feature, Farewell Summer, Hello School.
Every grade has its own story, and every kid's experience is unique. We'd never hear every experience, even with a force of a dozen writers spreading out through Anne Arundel and Calvert Counties. But we could manage every grade, which gave us the splendid numerology of 13 back-to-schoolers speaking up for the 2013 school year.
As well as grade and geographic diversity, we sought diversity of race and type of school in hopes of mirroring the complexity of our 21st century communities. We've talked to kids of African, Chinese and Latin — as well as European — ethnicity, some new fluent speakers of English.
Our 12 are students in traditional public schools, high-tuition private schools, a magnet school, alternative school and career center. Our ringer — 43-year-old Jon Boughey — teaches special education.
You've seen the kids (and Jon) on the cover.
Despite bullies and tough classes, these young faces are bright with anticipation. Kids return to school eager to see friends, eager for challenge, and so eager to grasp knowledge and opportunity some might even eat a bug.
Supply a Student for School
Summer staffer Maggie Stamets (beginning her sophomore year at Hofstra University in New York) agrees that a good school year begins with fresh school supplies. Not every family can afford to outfit its kids with a backpack full of school supplies, she learned in reporting for this issue on how Calvert and Anne Arundel Counties work to fill the gap.
Her story is so compelling that she and I couldn't help but get into it. We wanted to do the full backpack, so Maggie signed us up with Anne Arundel Social Service volunteer coordinator Tanya Steele (410-269-4462).
We asked for a young back-to-schooler. Steele wrote back in minutes with the name and needs of a first grader at Eastport Elementary.
Maggie will choose a character backpack tonight and fill it markers, pencils, highlighter, pink erasers, blunt-tipped scissors, tissues, hand sanitizer, Post-it notes, glue sticks and more. We'll have it delivered before you read about it.
It's as easy as that. If we can do it, you can, too.

There is not much news here to tell. I'm still pretty busy, and next week won't be different to that - which means I won't manage much stitching at all. My parents come over from Europe and I want to have the house in good shape. Girls are leaving for a trip to Europe next week. Saskia and Melanie did great in their exams. Melanie has finished school now too, last week was the official graduation. Next year she will go to university to study economics. Just as her older sister does, but at a different university. Melanie hopes she'll get a place at the university close by so that she doesn't need to move to Melbourne. After all she is only 17 years old. Anyway, they both had their exams, and both did great - and are looking forward to visit family and friends in Europe. They will stay in the Netherlands and in Germany and will be back in January. And I will miss them dearly. Not the mess they ship with though...lol.
Nex to stitch will be something for a Lizzie Kate exchange. And there is another exchange I signed up for - and seen the little time I have AND that we'll go on vacation in January together with my parents, I might do that one after the Lizzie Kate stitching. I would hate it being to late for an exchange.
For the rest I was playing around the last 2 evenings with my blog layout. And I messed it up completely...lol. Took me AGES to get it back as I wanted it. And I'm still not able to use the layout I wanted in the first place. Oh well, I might give it another try. Can't give up that easy can't I. So if you're coming along this blog and it looks silly, don't worry, it's just me goofing around. EDIT TO ADD: Finally succeeded after changing the html code. And I'm not really good with that. Which means, if someone has trouble with seeing this layout, please drop me a note.
The doorbel just rang - and I'm dancing here my happy dance. There are couple of charts around where I know for sure that I want to stitch them sooner or later. One of them is a chart from Mystic Stich, called "White Lilies on Red" - which is a chart from a painting of Vicky Horat. Because there wasn't any hurry yet and I was waiting that Mystic Stitch releases their downloadable charts, I didn't buy it. Last time I visited their page that pattern was GONE. Wrote an email and got told the contract with that artist expired and they couldn't sign another one. Can you imagine how hard I kicked myself in the butt for not buying that pattern when it was available???? I went then and had all over a look if I could find that pattern ANYWHERE - if need even second hand. But lucky me - I found it at Nordic Needle. Bought it immediately - paid a fortune for costs of sending. And it just arrived. I'm so happy about that. And what did I learn...if you know you will stitch a pattern sooner or later - go and get it, it might be gone otherwise!

Illustrator Marques Cannon has a blog full of nerd-themed art. But the Mario Kart inspired image (close-up above) originally drawn for a magazine has to be the best.
Cannon's also got Donkey Kong and Crash Bandicoot both feeling a little out of their element, if Mario's not your style. And if you needed to see one of the creepiest-yet-funny Lionel Richie and Star Wars mashups you can imagine, well, there's that too.

Since the emergence of cable and satellite television services there has been struggles among platforms to increase their attractiveness to audiences and to draw market share from terrestrial television in developed nations. These struggles have had affected content producers, broadcasters, platform operators and regulators attempting to fashion socially optimal broadcasting systems.
In the first competitive struggles between terrestrial broadcasters and cable operators, broadcasters controlled the highest quality contemporary programming and cable operators primarily competed by offering a wider variety of channels and providing premium movie channels. In many locations broadcasters actively sought regulatory policies to keep their channels from appearing on cable in order to reduce its attractiveness as a competitor.
As cable matured and satellite services emerged, the nature of the struggle shifted as greater subscription and advertising revenues allowed cable networks to offer higher quality contemporary programming. In this competitive phase, terrestrial, cable and satellite operators began struggling for exclusivity of content that would drive audiences to the platforms. Gaining exclusive rights to first broadcast runs of motion pictures, sporting, musical and other events, and high quality original programs became primary goals. In this environment, producers of content and owners of event rights sought to maximize their returns across the platforms. while platform operators sought to maximize their returns by gaining market power through exclusivity. This led to negotiations based not only on transmission rights but exclusivity rights as well, which dramatically pushed up costs of some content—especially sports rights.
As cable garnered a larger audience share, broadcasters that had previously been opposed to carriage of terrestrial signals on cable because asking regulators for 'must carry' rules to require cable operators to carry terrestrial channels so they could have additional access to audiences or audiences in places their terrestrial signals had not previously reached. This was especially useful for advertising supported channels, both public service and commercial.
In recent years, the widespread success of cable and satellite platforms and the shift of wealth from terrestrial to other platforms has led broadcasters to demand payments from cable and satellite platform operators for carrying their channels. The newer platforms are resistent and in some nations the struggle over payments remains on-going.
The digitalisation of terrestrial, cable, satellite, and broadband platforms has now created multiple opportunities of distribution of audiovisual materials and is creating a new environment in which additional competitive struggles are taking place among platform operators. At stake are the significant potential gains from advanced paid video-on-demand services and IPTV. Platform operators—DTT, cable, satellite, and telecommunications firms that offer broadband services—are now struggling to ensure that they are not competitively disadvantaged compared to other operators. Operators that control or have high market power over platforms, especially broadband links and systems needed for advanced services or interactive DTT services, will have significant advantages in the next generation of services. Consequently, there is a great deal of effort on the part of major platform operators to acquire access to all platforms and services through ownership, alliances and joint ventures and in many cases there are outright efforts to control those platforms and servcies.
The trajectory and outcome of this competitive struggle is particularly important because it will have significant impact on the range of services and costs for services available to the public. These developments also have significant importance for the relationship between content producers and platform operators because the means of compensation is likely to evolve from current transmission rights and exclusivity rights payments to one involving revenue and profit sharing. This has significant implications to the funding and ways that contemporary terrestrial television programming is created and role of terrestrial broadcasters in the new environment.

David Bromberg, the 68-year-old "Godfather of Americana," lives and works in a handsomely refurbished 19th-century brick building in Wilmington, Del. Not bad digs, to be sure, but the place pales in comparison to what he calls the "rock 'n' roll musician's house" he lived in when he was one of Marin's resident rock stars in the 1970s.
"I had a great house up in the hills above Fairfax with a view of Mount Tam," he said by phone from Wilmington one afternoon this week. "God, what a beautiful house. I'll never live anywhere that nice again."
For the past decade, Bromberg has shared a block-long loft with his wife, musician-artist Nancy Josephson, above his violin store and workshop in Wilmington, where the couple have been named "city ambassadors," hosting weekly jam sessions that have brought live music back to their downtown neighborhood and resuscitated his moribund recording and performing career.
"When I moved to Wilmington, the mayor told me there used to be live music up and down the street where my shop and my home are on. And I figure the only way to get that started again was to start a couple of jam sessions, so I did. I thought I'd endure them for a couple of months and they'd live or die. Then some really good musicians started coming, some from quite a distance, and I started really enjoying playing music again."
Before his late career revival, Bromberg hadn't played professionally for 22 years.
"I stopped for way too long," he admitted. "Twenty-two years, that's two generations of people I missed."
Bromberg's disenchantment with the music business began when he was living in Marin. He'd been playing guitar since he was 13, and he studied musicology at Columbia. As a collegiate habitue of the Greenwich Village folk scene in the mid-1960s, he refined his guitar playing and also became proficient on pedal steel, dobro, mandolin and fiddle. Jerry Jeff Walker once said he was "the reason man created stringed instruments."
With those kind of chops, he was soon a first-call session guitarist on scores of recordings, including albums by Bob Dylan, Link Wray, the Eagles, Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson and Carly Simon. A sensational performance, singing and playing for 600,000 music fans at Great Britain's Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 led to a four-album contract with Columbia Records. His self-titled 1971 debut boasted a songwriting collaboration with George Harrison, who played slide guitar on the tune, "Holdup." Jerry Garcia and three other members of the Grateful Dead were guest musicians on the next two albums he recorded here.
Those records were all kitchen sink eclectic, amalgams of folk, blues, bluegrass, ragtime, country and world music before it was called that.
I remember seeing him play with his big band — featuring a horn section, a violinist and a passel of string players — for a wildly enthusiastic crowd packed into the Lion's Share, a club that used to be a hot spot in San Anselmo. He had an ecstatic post-gig glow when I met him backstage after the show, but, underneath all the surface excitement, all was not well with him. By the end of the decade, the constant touring and the pressures of the music business had worn him down, sapping his creative energy.
"I left Marin at the end of 1979," he recalled. "I was burned out, but I was too stupid to recognize it as burnout. I was on the road at one point for two years without being home for as long as two weeks. That will do it to you. And when I got home, I wasn't jamming with anybody, I wasn't writing and I wasn't practicing. I didn't want to be one of those guys who drags his ass up onstage and does a bitter imitation of something he used to love. So I decided to find another way to live my life."
The other way of living his life surprised his fans and colleagues. He had begun collecting American violins in his mid-20s, so he decided to move to Chicago to study violin making, eventually starting a business appraising and selling the instruments. He would occasionally perform, but compared his involvement in music to a former major leaguer who plays softball once in a while at a company picnic.
In 2002, Bromberg and his wife were lured to Wilmington, where the city made them artists-in-residence and helped them establish his retail store and repair business. At the weekly jam sessions, his feel for performing started coming back.
"It was a lot of work to build up some chops," he recalled. "I don't feel I can play with the speed I used to, but I sing a whole lot better now, and that more than compensates."
Since then, he's recorded three albums. The first, 2007's "Try Me One More Time," earned him a Grammy nomination.
"My name had never appeared on the same page as the word Grammy before," he said, still sounding astonished.
That was followed by "Use Me," a concept album with songs written or selected by friends like Dr. John, Keb' Mo' and Linda Ronstadt. He also went back on the road, but this time on his own terms, reuniting with his big band and playing in smaller ensembles. When he plays at Sweetwater Music Hall on March 21, it will be with a quintet.
Two years ago, his comeback, not to mention his life, were threatened when he felt a tightness in his chest while touring in Japan and Italy.
"I had an 85 percent blockage in my arteries that I had no idea about," he said. "I had three stents put in. And all of a sudden, I had much more strength in my voice. When I was in my 20s and 30s, I probably had as much strength, but I didn't know how to use it. After I got those stents, it was, 'Holy cow.'"
Bromberg's albums have always had a kind of zany humor to them. And his new one, "Only Slightly Mad," is no exception. It's a signature genre-bending Bromberg album, but there is a hard-won wisdom in some of his songs, and an inspirational message in the gospel flavored original, "I'll Rise Again." In the middle of the song, he was moved to go on a free-form rap that sounds like a preacher speaking to his congregation.
"I may be down, but I know I'm gonna rise again, because I've been down in that pit when it seemed it had no bottom," he says as the music swells. "And I'm sure we've all seen that pit. Maybe for some of us, it's not as deep as for others. But for some of us it's so deep it looks like there's no way out. But I believe there's a way out for everyone. It could be religion, it could be therapy, it could be money, it could be music. There are even hotlines. There are ways to get out. You just have to keep looking for the ways out. This is a beautiful world, and it's a privilege to live in it."
After he listened to the playback, he considered taking that part out.
"I realized I exposed a lot of myself in it, and I wasn't sure I could handle having it on a CD that people would listen to," he confessed. "Then I realized that when you take that kind of a chance, that's when you do something good. You've got to let it out. So I did. I was talking from the heart."

Last Friday night the Williston Red Devil football team played host to the Ft. White Indians at Booster Stadium.
The game between the two teams took on a tale of two halves aspect as the Red Devils dominated the first half on both offense and defense.
The Red Devils offense scored two touchdowns while the defense forced two turnovers on downs, one fumble recovery and one interception.
The Santa Fe Lady Raiders volleyball team came to Williston's gym on Thursday night Sept.13, and stunned the Lady Red Devils in three straight games.
The Lady Raiders controlled the court in game one as they dropped many shots where the Lady Red Devils were unable to return the ball, 25-13. The Lady Raiders continued their domination in game two as they downed the Lady Red Devils 25-6.
The Newberry volleyball tournament was held Aug. 23 at the Newberry Gym.
The Williston Lady Red Devils won both their matches in two games each in the best of three matches.
The Lady Devils were led in game one against the Dixie County Lady Bears by a host of players.
Morgan Vanasco lifted the Lady Devils to a 9-3 lead with her serves and the team never looked back on their way to a 25-20 win.
It wasn't their best game, and several players played with nicks and dings, but the heart of the 2012 Williston Red Devil football team members showed through Aug. 24 as they traveled to Fernandina Beach.
It was a first quarter that saw both the Red Devils and Pirates unable to get their offenses moving.
The first quarter ended in a 0-0 tie.
The Red Devils began to click midway through the second quarter as quarterback David Heinkel hit Damien Strange with a 62-yard touchdown pass.
It was certainly not the Red Devils from the past on offense and their defense was outstanding as time and time again they shut down the Tavares Bulldogs offense.
Williston senior Rea Samuels has been considering her many options for the last several months leading up to her graduation from Williston High School.
A four year track and field star who has dominated her competition, Samuels has chosen to accept a four-year scholarship to attend McPherson College in McPherson, Kan.
Her father, Hector Samuels, spoke to the large crowd of family and friends who attended her signing May 15, in the school cafeteria.
The outstanding season for the Williston Red Devil Baseball team came to an end May 11, as the Red Devils fell to Bishop Moore 9-3 before a super large crowd of Williston Red Devil fans.
As the Red Devils were unable to pull off a come-from-behind win. the crowd rose to itsfeet in true appreciation for the young men who wore the Williston uniform and played with sportsmanship and pride all season long.
This season proved to be the best season for a Red Devil baseball team ending with a 25-4 season record, and two playoff wins, a first in nearly 90 years.
It is called spring football practice at high schools all over the state of Florida. The Williston Red Devils are no different than other high schools as they begin to work out the kinks, get unused muscles tightened and begin to work on skills needed for the athletes come next fall.
Not all of the Red Devil team members are taking advantage of the spring practice that started May 1 and ends with the annual spring game to be played May 24.
Several potential team members are involved in AAU basketball and are not available for spring football practice.
Thirty-nine runs crossed home plate April 10 before the Lady Indians took down Williston's Lady Red Devils in a 21-18 win.
After the Red Devils scored two runs in the top of the first inning off a two RBI single by Jasilyn Williams, Chiefland's Taylore Fuller led off the bottom of the first inning with a home run on a ball hit off the fence in the corner of the right field alley.
Mychayla Franklin collected another RBI for the Lady Indians to tie the game at 2-2 after one full inning of play.
Senior Akiria Strange lifted the Williston Lady Red Devils to their third win of the season with a three-run homerun that cleared the fence by 5 feet.
With two runners on base and trailing the Lady Bears 5-4, Strange blasted her first home run of the year for the senior night win.
Strange has played in right field for the Lady Red Devils this year. The three-run homerun lifted the Lady Red Devils to a 7-5 win over the Dixie County Lady Bears.

Apple has unleashed the latest generation of its genre-defining smartphone product, the iPhone.
The iPhone 5, actually the sixth version of the device, brings the biggest redesign since the iPhone 4 in 2010, including a larger screen, revamped connector and earphones, along with 4G connectivity.
The smartphone has already shifted more than 5 million units in just the opening weekend after it went on sale on September 14. But that was not surprising considering it racked up 2m global pre-orders in just 24 hours the previous week, smashing the 1m record of the iPhone 4S.
Cutting through all the hype, anticipation and multi-million sales, Apple has produced a smartphone that is beautifully designed and easy to use, but does not offer any major surprises or new ideas. Yes, this is the best iPhone yet, but it arrives in a much more competitive market than its predecessors.
Taller, brighter and slimmer iPhone
The iPhone 5 is certainly one of the most beautiful smartphones that we have ever handled. The anodised aluminium body has a tactile quality and the phone feels great in your hand. In terms of looks it is rather like a taller, leaner iPhone 4S.
The phone is pretty much the same width as the 4S, with extra height and a bigger screen. It is 18% thinner and 20% lighter and somehow feels smaller overall.
A highlight of the redesign is the larger, 4-inch screen (up from 3.5 inches in past iPhones), which has the same stunning Retina high-resolution technology, boasting 1136 × 640 pixels, with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
The increase in screen real estate means more space to browse the web, look at apps and watch video in widescreen. It offers 44% more colour saturation than iPhone 4S and uses in-cell technology, integrating the touch layer into the LCD allowing for a thinner form factor.
High-resolution screens in smartphones are now becoming pretty much standard, and even though Apple has increased the size to four inches, that is still smaller than other handsets on the market.
Whilst the Samsung Galaxy S3's 4.8-inch screen may make the handset arguably feel a touch unwieldy, Motorola's new RAZR i comes with a 4.3-inch screen in a body no bigger than the iPhone 5. Apple's display is certainly on par with industry standards, but is not exactly setting them.
There have been reports of damage to the iPhone 5 body, but we found the phone to be pretty durable.
A6 Processor
Apple has ushered in the next-gen A6 processor in the iPhone 5, a chip that is 22% smaller than the A5 processor in the iPhone 4S but delivers twice the CPU performance and graphical power.
It clocks at 1.2GHz, compared to 1.5GHz or even 2Ghz in other handsets, but the operating memory has been doubled from 512 MB to 1GB. The performance seems quick, particularly in terms of downloading apps, but we are not convinced this is a giant leap on from the iPhone 4S.
In a very basic test, we loaded a video from BBC iPlayer simultaneously on an iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, and there was very little in it in terms of load time for the stream. On one occasion, the 4S actually outperformed the new iPhone.
However, the new processor certainly excels in gaming. Playing Jetpack Joyride is a smooth and fluid experience, boosted by the increase in screen size. The iPhone was already an impressive handheld gaming machine, but it just got even better with iPhone 5.
Better battery... at last
After the iPhone 4S was released last October 2011, the smartphone was criticised by some users for the rapid battery drain, even on just mild usage.
So, it is welcome that Apple has fitted a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery that is claimed to support around eight hours of talk time and eight hours of 3G/4G browsing, along with ten hours of video playback, and 40 hours of music playback.
Compared with an iPhone 4S, the new iPhone does appear easier on its battery, no longer draining the juice so quickly and thus enabling the user to spend almost an entire day away from the charger.
The rear camera in the iPhone 5 is still 8-megapixel as in the iPhone 4S, but Apple has made some big improvements to the technology.
Despite being 25% smaller than the 4S, the new iSight snapper takes better photos thanks to the sapphire crystal lens cover that reduces damage while also taking clearer images.
Comparing photos on the old and new smartphone shows the bump in quality. Textures are sharper and more defined, and lighting is more reflective of real life.
Apple has also introduced a variety of new software features to the camera, the most notable being Panorama images that involve sweeping the camera along against an on-screen prompt. This enables you to take pretty incredible Panorama images of up to 28 megapixels.
Elsewhere, the previous jitters in video capture have been smoothed out and face detection works with up to ten faces. But one of the biggest areas of improvement actually comes on the front.
The new front-facing 1.2MP camera supports FaceTime HD video calling and super-sharp self-portraits, as well as taking 720p HD video. This really does make a welcome difference.
iOS 6 and the tale of missing cities
The latest version of the iOS mobile operating system, iOS 6, was released on September 19 for newer iPads, iPod Touch and iPhone models, and it comes pre-loaded on iPhone 5. The new software brings 200 new features, but for a lengthier rundown please see our review.
One area we do want to discuss, though, is Apple's new Maps tool. The application replaces Google Maps as the pre-loaded service in all newer iOS devices, but it has already had a very rocky start to life.
Whilst the application is beautiful to look at, particularly in the stunning 3D flyovers of major landmarks and locations, the absence of Google's hard-earned mapping, satellite, Street View and local information has been sorely felt by iOS users.
Despite Apple teaming up with sat nav firm TomTom, there have been reports of entire towns being missing from the application, and there is an overall lack of sharpness and detail in the maps.
Apple knows that it has come up short and is busy pulling in expertise from third-parties and hiring GIS and mapping experts. Apple Maps will also get better the more it is used and expanded.
In the meantime, you can still access Google Maps via the Safari browser and even tag it to the Home Screen. This means that the mobile browser can be just loaded with one click. It is not ideal, but will provide a stop-gap until Apple gets its act together or Google releases an iOS app of Google Maps, as it has done with YouTube after Apple also ditched that as a pre-installed service on iOS 6.
Lightning connector and new EarPods
The iPhone 5 arrives with completely redesigned earphones, dubbed EarPods. The old in-ear buds were widely disliked by users, but these are a big step forward by Apple. Formed from one piece of plastic, the buds sit much more comfortably in the ear and have been designed to direct sound more efficiently.
The bump in sound quality is evident and there seems to be more definition of sound, particularly in the bass. They are also more aesthetically pleasing, appearing a bit like the little white robot called EVE in Wall-E in the animated film by Pixar, the animation studio that had Apple co-founder Steve Jobs as its early backer.
Another new accessory that arrives with the iPhone 5 is the smaller dock connector, which is used to charge the phone and connect accessories, such as speakers.
Some critics have claimed that the new Lightning dock slips out too easily, but we didn't find that to be a major issue. The connector fits in snugly and stays fixed even when hanging the handset from the cord. It is also really nicely designed and much less cumbersome than the old 30-pin dock.
There is, of course, the issue that all existing accessories that are geared to the old connector will not work with the new iPhone 5, and Apple has been rightly criticised for selling an adaptor for £25. But the firm had to make this change at some point in order to save space in its devices, and it was always going to be a difficult transition.
4G is coming... soon
As announced at the blockbuster iPhone 5 product launch on September 12, Apple's new smartphone follows the latest iPad in supporting Long Term Evolution, or 4G, connectivity.
For us in the UK, the even more exciting news was that this would be coming to Blighty on the new EE network, the brand formed by Everything Everything that also includes Orange and T-Mobile.
EE has indicated that its 4G service, made possible after media regulator Ofcom permitted EE to reuse its existing 1800 Mhz spectrum, will deliver mobile internet speeds around five times faster than those of traditional 3G networks.
However, the EE network is still listed as "coming soon" and so we were unable to test out this next-generation network technology. File this one under 'eagerly anticipated'.
Apple's new smartphone delivers an improvement on the iPhone 4S in terms of screen, connectivity, form factor and camera. But whether this is enough for 4S owners to justify splashing out on the upgrade is open to debate, particularly as this is the most expensive ever iPhone.
Apple has played it rather safe with the iPhone 5, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. It has taken the successful design blueprint of the iPhone 4, and then made a new handset that is taller, leaner and more refined. There are improvements here, but more like tweaks to make life easier than major changes to the way we use phones.
The iPhone 5 arrives in a competitive market, including various popular Android phones and the emergence of Microsoft's Windows Phone platform. But it is still the major contender in the smartphone race and always an option that should be considered when upgrading.

Frying pan bread with roasted capsicum and pumpkin spread
41 comments:
Sorry to hear about your oven. I'd be the same, I can't cope without my oven, but glad you could improvise with this delicious looking dish! I love the sound of the roasted capsicum and pumpkin spread.ReplyDelete
Yummo! This would actually be nice with some cheese as well!ReplyDelete
Woah, look at all those pumpkins! But you know what people say - through adversity comes invention...or something like that =pReplyDelete
I'm Chinese and ovens are not part of our traditional repertoire but if the stovetop died, oh dear...
This bread is new to me, I like all the different flours you've used.ReplyDelete
Ha, been there, done that! My oven broke last year, and since then, I've tried to rely less on it. I'll be adding this great recipe to my repertoire (love that it's gluten-free, too!)ReplyDelete
I love the sound of your frying pan bread - and it's gluten-free too...yippeee! Thanks for posting. I'll have to give it a go :)ReplyDelete
Maria, this is perfect for my celiac friend --and for me as well, of course! thanks a lot for this recipe, it's amazing.ReplyDelete
Never had this bread before, sounds great!ReplyDelete
Somtimes the best things are born out of difficulty, so while I'm sympathising with your oven problems, I am glad this wonderful looking bread came along...ReplyDelete
That looks healthy, enjoyable and delicious! Nice.ReplyDelete
Well, at least you came up with some ingenious idea for pan-bread! Awesome!ReplyDelete
looks really delicious, good idea. i wouldn't cope - i haven't even had a chance to clean my oven its so often being used!ReplyDelete
I only have access to an oven at my boyfriend's, otherwise I would bake more often. The frying pan bread is a great idea and the spread sounds delicious too!ReplyDelete
It's painful living without an oven, isn't it? I was without one for weeks this winter during our kitchen reno and I missed it terribly!ReplyDelete
Now that is how we like to hear it here in the south! Fryed bread! we love doing this with our cornbread and this version of your buckwheat bread is AMAZING! I seriously can't wait to give it a try. Might add in some cornmeal to the bread- would that mess it up you think? Love the idea of pumpkin spread. Wish we still had pumpkins here in the supermarket.ReplyDelete
My oven broke for about two weeks last summer and I went stir crazy. My fingers literally started itching. It was not. Good. So I hope yours gets fixed soon!ReplyDelete
And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who hoards pumpkins while they're in season. This recipe sounds amazing!
So sorry to hear about your oven woes! Sounds like it is time to bring out the raw food in the interim. A change of pace is a good, thing, right? :) Sounds like you are making the most of it, anyhow.ReplyDelete
What a creative recipe and your spread looks yum-o! Have you grown all those beautiful pumpkins yourself?ReplyDelete
Love this recipe, that too without gluten. So sorry about your oven, but you are really creative and came up with this great recipe.ReplyDelete
Wow, that's so interesting that you used a frying pan to make this lovely bread! I always love seeing recipes that are adapted to be made with different kitchen tools. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe and inspiring idea, Maria! :)ReplyDelete
Hi Maria! Wow pumpkin spread. I'd LOVE to try that. And your frying pan bread is so nice. Another post with beautiful recipe and pictures. Have a great weekend Maria!ReplyDelete
I love all the ways you are using pumpkin- it's such a lovely product and I really enjoy your interpretations!ReplyDelete
Get the whole oven thing, mine is so old, broken seal & have to constantly "intuitively" adjust the temperature & times :) Pumpkin spread will fit in perfectly as a little snack in my pursuit of healthier living!ReplyDelete
Your pumpkins are beautiful and I love how versitile they are. Well done! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat EatersReplyDelete
this sounds wonderful. the little breads are so cute :) hope your oven is back to normal soon -- though I'm sure you'll come with lots of creative oven-free recipes in the meantime!ReplyDelete
One week without oven is not easy .. nope! Did I get it right ? did you make bread in a pan ?! that would be super creative...ReplyDelete
I love pumpkin seeds and i usually like to just plain roast them and enjoy.. This sounds great too and with that roasted capsicum .. it will surely go very well:)
i love this...it looks & sounds awesome. dayleReplyDelete
- Anonymous21 May 2011 at 09:46
I love the idea of using kabocha. It's my favorite pumpkin. Now I have a new recipe that requires kabocha!ReplyDelete
Even without an oven you manage to impress and leave me drooling!ReplyDelete
THis bread looks amazing and the capsicum spread???? mmmmmmmmmmm! Can't wait to try it!
Oh yum, how delicious!ReplyDelete
I can relate to your ordeal a bit. Last weekend my electricity went out (and right in the middle of cooking dinner - ack) and then it stayed out for 12 hours. Our alternative was ordering pizza and no other prolonged cooking issues like you are having, but 12 hours with no computers, TV or kids video games! We were going nuts!
Hope you get things fixed soon. Looks like you are doing just fine in the meantime :-)
I know how you feel mine blew up on an evening when I had friends coming around for dinner and I had to do some quick thinking and change all my dinner plans around. I now know roast lamb can be done in a pot on top of the stove! This recipe looks delicious and I think the spread would make a great alternative to butter on sandwiches as well or just spread on crackers.ReplyDelete
i can see how that bread is comforting! maybe you'll discover lots of great new non bake recipes in the process! :) so may be a good thing?! hahaReplyDelete
interesting how diff cultures have diff primary kitchen gadgets - my mum has an oven that she hasnt used in 5 years i think lol.
Speaking of being 'away from life's necessities'....I'm off camping this weekend. More on that another day.ReplyDelete
I love pumpkin and butternut squash and this skillet bread looks perfect for dunking or dipping into something spicy.....
I can live without running water and electricity but I hyperventilate when reception drops out on my phone!! Good work for surviving without your oven. How creepy re Friday 13th!ReplyDelete
I would be devastated too if the oven breaks down. YOu've been inventive, as usual with this recipe. Applause.ReplyDelete
Sadly, no, I cannot live without modern conveniences. I admit it. Being without an oven would make me crazy. I hope yours is repaired soon! This frying pan bread does look like a great way to get by in the meantime though. The crispy edges look delicious.ReplyDelete
What an interesting recipe! I will try this when pumpkin weather comes, for sure. The idea of combining hot red pepper with pumpkin is curious for me,though I enjoy trying new tastes and textures (as long as they aren't slimy with eyeballs and testicles...oops, I meant tentacles. Oh dear...) I do hope your oven gets fixed soon. It is an opportunity to try more recipes using your barbeque. A gal friend of mine had no choice, as her stove top didn't work either, and she became so expert at it, I dare say that I haven't had better meats and garlic bread ever since. Her tri-tip was the best!ReplyDelete
Your skillet bread looks and sounds delicious. I am sorry to hear about your oven. That is a real burden for a baker to bear. I hope it is soon fixed. Have a great day. Blessings...MaryReplyDelete
That's annoying about your oven. Well done for making the best of a bad situation though :)ReplyDelete
Yep, I'm totally with you on this. I love getting away from "it all" but if a spanner is thrown in the works like something unexpectedly breaking then I start complaining immediately! Pretty impressed with how you've dealt with it though.. I'll try and channel you next time soemthing like this happens to me :)ReplyDelete
I'm torn - I like the *idea* of camping and taking a break from the modern world...but I have to admit that I like my appliances and toilet paper too much :) Nonetheless, that doesn't mean that I can't take things a bit easier by making something as easy and simple like a frying pan bread :)ReplyDelete

How does dblp handle first names, middle names, family names, non-western names?
The dblp dataset does not differentiate the parts of a given name into first, middle, or family name, even if the author's cultural background allows for such categories. This means, most of the time we simply do not know this kind of information. In some places of our website (e.g., when sorting by "last name"), we try to heuristically guess the family name as the last part of a name string (excluding "Jr.", "II", "III", etc.). Of course, this is not always correct.
Whenever possible, we include an author's middle name(s), although most of the time just as abbreviated initial(s). Middle names are very helpful to distinguish homonyms.
In some cultural backgrounds, names are traditionally used in the order 'family-name given-name' (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, and Korean names). Nevertheless, in dblp, we try to store a name according to the western convention; although, we have to admit that we may not always correctly know which part of a name is a family name or a given name. The correct handling of non-western names is still a challenge for western digital libraries.

Amazon Sees Sunshine in a Cloudy Play
Opportunity in Cloud Computing Is Big Enough for Both Google and Amazon.com.
Amazon.com investors shouldn't sweat Google's stepped-up efforts in cloud computing—yet.
Google has formally launched its Compute Engine, a cloud-based service that effectively rents out to businesses large and small the Web search giant's huge network infrastructure. This is similar to the efforts Amazon has made with its own Web-services business known as AWS.

Red Truck Diesel Summer Steelhead Fly Fishing Outfit:
Nothing beats catching a steelhead on a fly rod…especially a summer run fish, and there's no denying that a steelhead caught on the skate or swing is top shelf. If you agree with this, you'll probably also agree that using a well-designed, perfectly-balanced two-handed outfit is the most efficient and enjoyable way to work your angling magic on your favorite summer run river. That's exactly why we designed our Red Truck Diesel Summer Steelhead Spey Outfit.
Much has changed since the old days, when a longer, heavier two-handed fly rod was necessary to cast a classic steelhead fly to the mark. Today, due primarily to more efficient fly line systems, our two-handed rods are shorter in length and lighter in rod rating, making a day spent casting much more enjoyable. Take our Diesel 12'6″ #6 two-handed fly rod for instance. When fishing summer run rivers, it's the perfect length…long enough to make for easy casts and smooth mends, yet short enough for improved balance and bushwhacking. Our Diesel rod's finish gives a nod to rods from the past with a raw, classic "snake belly" appearance. Of course our rod comes well appointed with high-grade cork and bomb-proof guides…we even include a real aluminum rod tube for protection. No cheap nylon covered tubes here.
As mentioned, today's two-handed line systems (if properly selected) can make for easier, more-efficient casts, as well as the ability to quickly adjust your line to match the fishing conditions. We've tested all the fly line options and found the best solution for casting enjoyment and fishing function. The included Running Line shoots like a dream and feels great in your hands, even on a chilly morning. We've added the right Compact Scandi head when it's time to skate a dry or swing a classic summer pattern. When necessary, you can take your fly deep by using the included Skagit head and appropriate Flo or Commando tip. Bottom line, you'll always have a fly line option regardless of your fishing conditions.
Of course you'll need a quality fly reel to store the perfect fly line system and do battle with a spirited summer steelhead. For this reason, we at Red Truck designed our Chrome fly reel. Classically styled with a simple and proven click and pawl drag system, this reel not only looks the part of a true, two-handed fly reel, it also sounds the part. Our click and pawl drag will sing with pleasure when a rosy-cheeked bullet asks for line. Of course our Red Truck Chrome fly reel is fully-machined from aircraft-grade, bar-stock aluminum and then anodized for a long life on the river, but more important…it's a fly reel that your grandfather would approve of
When combined, our Red Truck Diesel Summer Steelhead Spey Outfit walks the fine line between casting enjoyment and fishing function. Balance, stability and efficiency are words we use to describe the experience you'll have when you cast our best work. As you probably know, you won't catch a steelhead on every cast, so you better enjoy every cast between your fish…at least that's what we believe. It's time you treated yourself to a summer run steelhead on the swing…it's also time you treat yourself to a Red Truck balanced outfit.

I wonder if the geometry of crinkled aluminum foil has been studied?
The above is a photo of foil I flattened to reuse. It might be described as a partition into nearly-uncreased polygons, each polygon of not too many sides, and arranged in a rather un-Voronoi like pattern. It superficially resembles a rugged mountain terrain seen from a great height.
I searched a bit for some mathematical analysis of this pattern without luck. Has anyone seen such an analysis? There might be some interesting mathematics here...

Sexual Health Testing in Burleson TX
At Health Testing Centers we make sexual health testing in Burleson easy and convenient by allowing you to avoid the hassle and embarrassment of visiting your doctor. We provide direct access to the same CLIA approved labs in Burleson, TX and FDA approved tests that your doctor would utilize. Also the results are delivered directly to you and are not a part of your permanent medical record.
STD Statistics in Burleson
Sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) remain a critical problem both nationally and in Burleson, Texas. Without proper treatment, they can lead to cardiac and neurological problems, organ damage, ectopic pregnancies, mental illness and even death. In addition, they have staggering economic costs that number in the billions of dollars. The data show two other interesting trends in Burleson, Texas. Consistent with the national average, women are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with herpes for reasons that still remain unclear to public health officials. Cases of HIV-AIDS in Burleson, by contrast, show a markedly higher rate of this STD among men. This could be due, at least in part, to the fact that males tend to engage more frequently in high risk behaviors such as intravenous drug use. Of particular concern to Texas health officials is the rapid increase in chlamydia cases in Burleson. Rates of infection are particularly high in young women between the ages of 15 and 19, and the consequences can be life-changing. Using the Center for Disease Control's 2016 STD Surveillance Report for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis and extrapolated using the latest 2011 US Census, it is estimated that 2.4 incidents of syphilis, 181.5 cases of chlamydia and 53.9 cases of gonorrhea, would be attributed to Burleson in 2016.
STD Treatment and Counseling in Burleson
When ordering an STD package or individual test from Health Testing Centers that tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, or HSV type 2, a physician consultation and treatment are included when there is a positive result. If you test positive for any of the 4 mentioned STD's, a telephone or video consultation will be provided at no additional cost by one of our third party physicians. The physician from PWN Health will contact you within 4 to 24 hours of receiving your test result. At the end of the consultation the physician may prescribe the necessary medication for treatment. It is up to the sole discretion of the physician to provide any medical treatment based on test results and any medical information they received during the consultation. Cost of the prescription is not included.

STD Testing Labs in Burleson, TX
Whether you're concerned about possible STD exposure or simply want a quick, convenient and confidential way to take control of your sexual health via routine STD screening, our STD testing centers near Burleson, TX can help. Our testing locations offer private, top-quality STD testing just like you would receive from your doctor's office without the added expense and inconvenience of an office visit just to have that doctor place the order for those tests.
Why is testing important?
Because STDs are more common than you may realize, with nearly 20 million new STD cases occurring every year, according to nationwide CDC estimates. Their affects can be quite serious. For instance, HIV infection can progress to AIDS, and gonorrhea, Chlamydia and syphilis can lead to infertility without treatment. These examples show just how important it is that these and other STDs do not go undetected for lack of a simple health test, easily done via STD testing centers near Burleson, TX.
When should you seek STD testing?
Clearly, if you know or suspect that a partner is affected by a sexually transmitted disease, looking into STD testing centers near Burleson, Texas is important to protecting your health, as is seeking immediate treatment should you receive positive results. However, STD testing is also essential for all sexually active individuals. That's because STDs don't always come with obvious symptoms. Some may produce no symptoms at all, while others may present mild ones that are easily mistaken for a cold or flu. For this reason, ensuring your sexual and overall health means getting regular screening tests for common STDs. Just how often you should schedule test days depends on your individual circumstances. If in doubt, consult a healthcare professional for an appropriate testing routine for your needs.

Heidi, Seal, and the Kids Have Fun Exploring a Halloween Pumpkin Patch!
Halloween-loving couple Heidi Klum and Seal packed up the car and headed to Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch in LA yesterday. Johan, Henry, Leni, and Lou carefully selected their own pumpkins then raced down the patch's inflatable slides. Seal brought along his camera and captured all the sweet moments during their afternoon outing. The fun didn't end at the patch, as Leni, Henry, and Johan changed into Indian costumes and headed off to a party. October is annually an exciting month for Heidi and Seal, who host one of Hollywood's spookiest soirees, though this year the celebration will be held in Las Vegas. When we spoke with Heidi at the launch of her fragrance, Shine, she wouldn't confirm if she'll be wearing another sexy Halloween costume, though she did say this year's outfit would be very "hairy."

Sorta like the United Nations appoints goodwill ambassadors to promote itself globally, America produces some other kind of ambassadors to highlight our culture. Here's Ice-T shooting video of his visit in the McLaren F1 pits last weekend, meeting people you'll never meet.
Update: As DasWAuto points out below, the video as we first saw it included only Ice-T's insightful commentary (including "Here are some people that you'll never fucking meet"), not obnoxious music. We've substituted another video of Ice's visit, this time walking down the grid.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Fired Male Who Reported Sex Harassment by Male Co-Worker, EEOC Charges In Lawsuit
DALLAS — MKB Construction, Inc. violated federal law by firing a worker for reporting sexual harassment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
The EEOC alleged in its suit that commercial subcontractor MKB Construction, Inc. (MKB) fired painter David Morales for reporting sexual harassment on the job. Morales worked at the company's Fort Bliss jobsite, located at the army base in El Paso, Texas. According to the EEOC, a male co-worker opened the door of a portable toilet Morales was using and stared at him, later threatening to rape him. The co-worker also grabbed him and simulated a sexual act.
Morales, who worked a distance from the trailer that served as an office, waited until the end of the day to walk the 25-minute distance to the trailer to report the harassment. After urging him not to call the military police, MKB management fired Morales the next morning, alleging that he was at fault for not having reported the offense before the end of his shift.
Discharging an employee because he reports discrimination, including sexual harassment, violates the anti-retaliation provision of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC investigated the case and then filed suit, Case No. 3:11- CV-00404-KC in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, El Paso Division, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief, including the formulation of policies to prevent and correct retaliatory treatment as well as damages for Morales and punitive damages against MKB.
"Employees—whether men or women--should feel encouraged to report sex harassment at work without repercussions of any kind," said Toby Wosk Costas, supervisory trial attorney for the Dallas District Office. "In this case, reporting male-on-male sexual harassment on the job led to the loss of employment. The EEOC filed suit so that other employees do not have to fear reporting these kinds of incidents in the future."
"The excuse made by this employer for firing a worker who simply sought to shield himself from unacceptable conduct sends a terrible message," said Robert A. Canino, regional attorney for the EEOC's Dallas District Office. "When Mr. Morales hoped to avail himself of MKB's alleged 'open door' policy, he could not have known the company would be showing him out the same door the next day."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

Over 40 Years of Searching For Members of the Reason Bell family of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama
Our Reason Bell was born about 1817, supposedly, in South Carolina. He married Louisa. We aren't for certain of her maiden name but it's been reported that her name was Donovan, Donnelly or Donaldson. There is no proof or documentation to verify any last name for her. At some point, Reason moved to Gilmer County, Georgia, where he and Louisa had Mary A., born 1838, Martha, b, 1940, Nettie, b, 1842, Julia Ann, b, 1844, John T, born 1848 and James David, born 1853. We suspect another child was born between 1848 and 1853. All of these children were born in Georgia, probably around Gilmer County, but we have not been able to find any birth records.
This family is found in the 1850 Gilmer County Georgia Census. By 1860, the entire family has moved to Cherokee County, Alabama. They are still located in Cherokee County in 1866. By 1870, Reason can't be found and the rest of the family members are located in Calhoun County, Alabama.
We are desperately seeking help in finding records of any kind for Reason Bell PRIOR to 1850, specifically, names of his siblings and parents in an effort to find his actual birth place. We are also searching for verification of Louisa's maiden name and family information.
After 40 years of research our brick walls continue to loom above us providing no clues to this family prior to the 1850 Gilmer County Georgia Census.
Any help in locating any information is appreciated.
You can email us direct at email@example.com if you can help us.
Our sincere appreciation to you in advance for your help.

CHAPEL HILL – The North Carolina High School Athletic Association celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. Consisting of more than 400 members and coordinating with 400 high schools in North Carolina, the NCHSAA tries to use education based athletics.
Executive director of the NCHSAA, Davis Whitfield, comments on some of the goals for the program.
"We have a strong student services program where we teach leadership, integrity those values that we feel like education based athletics provides for our young people in North Carolina" said Whitfield.
After 100 years of teaching high school athletes core values and improving athletics around the state, Whitfield considers NC high school athletics to be very strong and full of rich talent.
"Athletics is strong in North Carolina right now, and we're excited about that, there are more and more young people participating, there are new programs that are growing" says Whitfield.
High school athletics doesn't end with the players, but that it also extends into the community. Athletics can help bring communities together and create a stronger bond between the people of the communities and the high school.
"I think you have something special with high school athletics because you not only represent your high school but your community and families and in a way that brings your community together" said Whitfield.
For the upcoming year, the NCHSAA has several changes planned to improve athletics. Whitfield says the association plans on investing in communication technology to improve communication with the schools, provide professional development for both students and coaches, provide additional revenue for the schools, as well as some building renovations.
"Well we've got a lot of work ahead of us Ron, we just completed the first year of our strategic plan so we'll move into the second year of that, and certainly with that, that lays out a plan and a map for us to pursue over the next three to five years" said Whitfield.
The Association also has a commemorative book available for the 100th anniversary of the association. The book contains a history of some high school athletics in NC and several great pictures and information. For more information on a commemorative book call 919-240-7401.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsNews & Views
Finish Line - Caption Contest - July 2014
Laughing in the face of deadlines
Panhandle Performance's Mark Biddle is a long-time friend of the magazine; he knows the drill by now. The second we took this picture at a Duck race at South Georgia Motorsports Park, he knew it was bound for this page.
Of course, the "truck"Mark's driving is unlike anything we've ever seen on these shores, much less South Georgia. It's owned by Chris Lancaster, who is standing directly behind Mark, who is in the driver seat, which seems to be on the wrong side. Drag radial racer Sean Lyon is in the passenger seat, and that's Chris' buddy Kyle "Dutch Boy"Vanderpoorten next to him in the back.
The truck is Chris' tow vehicle at the track for his '91 LX coupe (with a four-eye front end) that he races in Ultra Street at Duck races, but Chris tells us he also drives it around his Bonaire, Georgia, hometown—to the amusement of everyone who sees it. As you can see, the boys are up to no good, cruising the pits of SGMP in search of who knows what.
Like Panhandle's Mark Biddle, you should know the drill by now, too. Make us laugh the most, and you'll receive a crisp, new 5.0 license plate.
