Soldier, former soldier among those caught in DEA sting
A South Carolina man was gunned down by federal agents Saturday in Laredo after a sting targeting U.S. soldiers who wanted to work for the Zetas drug cartel went wrong, federal prosecutors said.
Former Army 1st Lt. Kevin Corley, 29; Army Sgt. Samuel Walker, 28, both of Colorado Springs, Colo.; Shavar Davis, 29, of Denver; and Jerome Corley, of South Carolina, drove into Laredo Saturday armed with two semiautomatic rifles, a knife and a .300-caliber bolt-action rifle equipped with a scope and a bipod, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court.
They were in Laredo, prosecutors allege, to raid a ranch where the men believed they would find 20 kilograms of cocaine that had been stolen from the Zetas.
Kevin Corley, who served in Afghanistan in 2010 and is Jerome's cousin, had been so gung-ho about his assignment that he planned to use his knife to carve a Z, the Mexican cartel's calling card, into his victim's chest, according to the complaint.
But something went wrong when the four men went to meet with the traffickers at about 12:30 p.m. Saturday at a warehouse on Laredo's northwest side. The "Zetas," actually undercover DEA agents, moved away, according to the complaint. Armed federal agents moved in. In the ensuing confrontation, an agent shot and killed Jerome Corley.
The circumstances surrounding Corley's killing remain unclear. The DEA, FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office said they couldn't comment beyond the criminal complaint. The complaint doesn't say if Jerome Corley was armed, only that agents found weapons in the van the men drove to Laredo.
Kevin Corley's girlfriend, Mikaylin Young, said she can't believe he'd been arrested.
"He's a great guy," she said. "I don't understand how this happened. It's taken me by surprise."
The two met in 2010, after he'd served in Afghanistan, she said. He rarely talked about that. He enjoys playing pool, Young said, and had played football as a young man. She described him as "easy going and drama free."
Young had met Jerome Corley, she said, but didn't know him well.
As it turned out, the Corleys had never met with any members of the Zetas. They'd been the targets of a DEA sting more than a year in the making, using wiretaps and undercover agents.
The sting began in January 2011, when accused drug trafficker Marcus Mickle, 20, of South Carolina, negotiated to buy marijuana from undercover DEA agents he thought were Zetas, the complaint alleges.
In September, Calvin Epps, 26, also of South Carolina, and Mickle put agents on the phone with Kevin Corley, then still in Army.
"Kevin Corley offered to provide tactical training for cartel members, including approaches, room clearing, security and convoy security," the complaint reads. "Corley also offered to purchase weapons for the cartel under his name as long as he could destroy the serial numbers."
By January, Corley had sold the agents Army training manuals and military equipment, including an armored vest, according to the complaint. But things escalated that month, prosecutors allege, when the agents asked Corley to participate in what the complaint described as a murder-for-hire scheme.
"The agents inquired about Kevin Corley's earlier assertion of his ability to perform 'wet work,' specifically whether he could provide a team to raid a ranch where 20 kilograms of stolen cocaine were being kept by rival cartel members," the complaint reads. "Corley confirmed that he would conduct the contract killing with a small team" consisting of his cousin Jerome Corley and Walker, the Army sergeant.
Meanwhile, prosecutors allege, the Corleys, Mickle and Epps were involved in marijuana smuggling.
On Jan. 14, police in La Salle County stopped a marijuana-laden tractor-trailer while the four men escorted it in another vehicle. In March, according to the complaint, Kevin Corley sold an undercover agent two AR-15 assault rifles, a training rifle, armored vests and other military equipment, according to the complaint. He was discharged from the Army on March 13. When the alleged hit team arrived Saturday in Laredo, a grand jury had already indicted the Corleys, Mickle and Epps for drug trafficking.
After the shooting at the warehouse, federal agents filed drug and weapons charges against Kevin Corley, Davis, and Walker. In an interview at DEA offices in Laredo, Davis said he was the driver and Walker said he was supposed to use the bolt-action rifle to cover the team's assault on the ranch, according to the complaint. Corley, the complaint alleges, said he planned to forego the $50,000 the "Zetas" were planning to pay him for the raid and skip town with the 20 kilograms of cocaine.
Corley, Davis and Walker are scheduled for a detention hearing Thursday.
Julie Domel contributed to this report.
Only one of the men caught in a DEA sting in Laredo on Saturday was a former soldier, and another still was in the military. A headline on Tuesday's page A1 of the Express-News and on mySA.com misstated the number of former soldiers involved.

Maholohet: SummerDance 2010 Heats Up at Suzanne Dellal
Video: Batsheva Dancers Create
The Batsheva Dance Company's dancers might have cooled off at the beach to make this video, but this July, they – and many of Israel's finest dancers – will be heating up the Suzanne Dellal Center's stages during SummerDance 2010. The annual festival, called Maholohet in Hebrew (a play on the words for "dance" and "hot"), will take place from July 1-August 31 and boast 84 performances.

This year's programming kicks off with a festival within the festival. From July 1-10, Madrid Dance will showcase Spanish dance including the Antonio Najarro Dance Company, Nuevo Ballet Español, Sharon Friedman and Jesus Pastor, and Pastor and José Marino. More international guests arrive later in the summer with dancers from the Paris Opera Ballet performing their own creations in Incidence Choreographique and with the Black Light Theatre from Prague in Africania.
Video: Rachel Erdos's OU' premieres at SummerDance 2010
As in previous years, premieres abound at SummerDance. This year's bounty, totaling 19 new works, will include premieres by Dana Ruttenberg, Kamea Dance Company, Tamar Borer and Tamara Erde, Portal Dance Company, DaNaKa Dance Group, Yoni Soutchy, Idan Sharabi, Ronit Ziv, Sigal Ziv, Elina Pechersky, Rena Schenfeld, Dafi Altebab, Mami Shimizaki, Sharon Vazanna, Anat Grigorio, the Jerusalem Ballet, and Rachel Erdos. Sahar Azimi, Elad Shechter, and Ido Tadmor offer pre-premieres, and Yaniv Cohen's work will be shown in its Israeli premiere.

For audiences who missed some of this year's most intriguing premieres, SummerDance offers a second chance to check them out. Among the offerings are Arkadi Zaides's Quiet, which recently returned from a tour of Europe, as well as the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company in Rami Be'er's Infrared, Fresco Dance Group in Yoram Karmi's Particle Accelerator, Kamea Dance Group in Tamir Ginz's SRUL, Kolben Dance Company in Min-Hara, and Animato Dance Company in Nadine Bommer's American Cinema. Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak's Rushes Plus and Ohad Naharin's Kyr/Z/na 2010, both highlights of the last season, combine excerpts of older works in a strikingly new context. And Vertigo Dance Company presents not only its recent hit Mana but also White Noise and the now classic Birth of the Phoenix.

Several evenings pop out from the schedule with a mixture of interesting fare. This year's festival includes Batsheva Dancers Create, an annual workshop featuring two programs of Batsheva's dancers in an array of their own choreography. Another intriguing evening is Noa Dar's presentation of her recent Anu alongside a work-in-progress, Banu, which is the extension of her previous creation. And audiences will have a chance to sample a combination of choreographers when established artists host up-and-coming contemporary choreographer. These programs include Dana Ruttenberg and Shlomit Fundaminsky hosting Neta Ruttenberg and Uri Shafir; Sahar Azimi hosting Elad Shechter and Yaniv Cohen; Dafi Altebab hosting Mami Shimizaki; and Idan Cohen hosting Sharon Vazanna.

SummerDance 2010 also features several companies and choreographers that add an ethnic flavor to the Israeli concert dance scene. Beta Dance Troupe blends Ethiopian traditions with contemporary choreography in Meeka Yaari and Ruth Eshel's Fathers and Sons as well as Adam McKinney and Daniel Banks's What We are Saying. Rona Bar-On, Sigal Ziv, and Elina Pechersky bring belly dance to the stage, while COMPAS, Silvia Duran, and Tania Vinokur offer variations on flamenco. Adding to the mix is Bangoura, an African dance company that will perform The dance of the drums.

Several family-friendly programs are dotting this year's bill, including the Batsheva Ensemble in Ohad Naharin's Kamuyot, Kamea Dance Group in Or Abuhav's The Ugly Duckling, COMPAS in Carmen and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and Noa Dar Dance Group in Children's Games.
Rounding out the programming are several critically acclaimed works created in recent years, including Yasmeen Godder's Singular Sensation and Yossi Berg and Oded Graf's Four Men, Alice, Bach and the Deer, and evenings of work by independent choreographers including Iris Erez, Shlomi Frige, Maya Levy, Michael Miler, and Michal Herman.

I now have 700 followers on The Pearly Life!!! I would like to thank every single one of you that followed and showed support on my posts. I honestly didn't think I would be at this point at all when I started blogging. It's an amazing and surreal experience. Angela said something about getting followers so quickly in her recent post which I thought was so true.
I feel excited, but also freaked out at the same time. It is a strange feeling to get a large influx of followers and sometimes you do not even believe it is happening to you. I feel like I may just blink and it would be over!
Blogging Goals
My blog stats tremendously improved in the month of May. I started my blog on June 2016 then abandoned it a month later. It was March 2017 that I started to take my blogging more seriously. My stats, views, likes, followers and engagement have in turn increased each month and I hope I can continue in this upward trajectory!
I would like to begin branch out on the type of posts I make. My blog is seriously lacking in the Lifestyle category so I would love to increase the frequency of those posts. I personally love a bit of diversity so I would love to blog about different topics on my blog. What would you guys like to see? I would love to hear your opinion on it!
I also see myself moving into a self hosted blogging platform like WordPress.org soon. I like WordPress.com but there is a serious lack of creative freedom when it comes to the design of your blog, SEO tools, widgets and many more. It has become more frustrating so I will begin to seriously look into moving in the coming months!
I also would love to increase my social media presence now so I am currently focusing on Instagram and Twitter. I don't know what I'm doing yet but once I figure it out I will make a post helping my fellow bloggers here! ❤
I also think it would be appropriate to do a Q&A now since I have quite a number of people subscribed to this blog. I love reading Q&A's and it would be nice to let you all know a bit about the person behind this blog!
If you have any questions please leave a comment and I will answer it in my next post or next two posts!

Creating With Innovation And Implementing Halloween Tags
What do you mean by tags? A tag is basically a small writing or some words to describe or to own something. Use these tags to Halloween parties. Where you have different things like a snack, drinks, etc., you can use Halloween tags, which are just normal tags under the theme of Halloween to address where the corresponding things are. You can also make these tags to use on yourself, like first writing you name or your nickname and then followed by the character you have picked up for the Halloween party and then combine it into a tag and use it on yourself.
This is something which will definitely catch the eye of many people, and if you are quite good at making this stuff, maybe other people will start copying you, and you will receive many compliments. To get a clear picture of such Halloween tags, you can go through the pictures at Halloween Fun site and clear out your mind in what to do.

Final Fall Rankings - Golfstat
Final Fall Rankings - Golfweek
Final Fall Rankings - Golf World/Nike Golf Coaches Poll
Following the program's most successful season and a solid fall showing, Liberty's golf program completes its fall schedule with its best-ever fall rankings.
After a four-tournament schedule this fall, Liberty is currently ranked No. 24 in the final fall rankings by Golfstat and No. 18 in the latest Golfweek listing.
Finally, the Flames finished the fall season ranked No. 21 in the Golf World/Nike Golf Division I College Coaches' Poll. This marks the second time the Flames have been ranked in the coaches poll, following Liberty's No. 23 ranking in the Golf World/Nike listing that was released on Nov. 1.
California is the consensus No. 1 team in all three listings, followed directly by Texas in each of the polls. Alabama, Florida, New Mexico and UCLA round out the teams that make up the remaining programs in each of the three Top 25 rankings.
Liberty, winners of back-to-back Big South titles, won the 2012 NCAA East Regional in Greensboro, last May, and finished 10th out of 30 teams at the 2012 NCAA Men's Golf National Championship at Riviera Country Club.
Liberty finished one shot outside of advancing to the match play portion of the national championship tournament in the Flames' first trip to the national championship event.
This fall, Liberty finished in the top five in each of its four tournaments, including the program's 22nd Division I team tournament victory.
Liberty posted a convincing victory at the Rees Jones Intercollegiate at the Haig Point Golf Course, winning by 24 strokes over East Carolina and 26 over host South Carolina.
The Flames are slated to face many of the top programs in the country during the spring, with tournaments hosted by Arizona (Arizona Intercollegiate – Jan. 28-29), Florida (Gator Invitational – Feb. 9-10), USC (The North Ranch Intercollegiate – Feb. 25-26) and Texas (Morris Williams Invitational – April 13-14).
Following Christmas break, Liberty will return to action on Jan. 28-29 when the Flames travel to Tucson, Ariz., to compete in the Arizona Invitational at the Arizona National Golf Course.

Black Truffle and Chanterelle Risotto (and the Great Valentine's Dining Dilemma)
To dine out or to dine in? This is the dilemma I am faced with every year for Valentine's day.
The case for Dining Out is simple: Going out to eat for Valentine's Day means I get to eat a fancy, exquisite, delicious meal that is prepared for me. Read: I don't have to do any work. There is a certain romance and ambiance that comes with eating out. There are new places to try (and cross of our list!). There are no dishes to wash at the end of the evening.
On the other hand, however, the Dining In option also presents a worthy argument: Dining at home is quiet, romantic, and intimate. It is much cheaper than going out. You don't have to deal with the hassle of reservations or crowds. There isn't a crappy pre fixe Valentine's menu. You are in control of your destiny! A night in can be as simple or fancy as you want it to be, in the comfort of your own home.
All that to say: I'm conflicted! Last year, Nich and I stayed at the Ace Hotel downtown and had dinner at Clyde Common. It was fabulous! We got all dressed up and had a night on the town and it was all so magical. This year, however, we are scaling it back a bit. Nich just started a new job and doesn't have any vacation time yet, so we can't get away for the evening. We've been debating about whether or not we are going to make reservations anywhere for dinner, but truth be told: I just don't feel like it. I think I'd rather stay in.
The only issue I'm having with staying in for V-day this year is that Nich and I already had the perfect "date night in". It was last Friday and we didn't have any plans for the evening and Nich had a grand idea. Fresh Oregon Black Truffles were on sale at Pastaworks, and he (wisely) suggested we needed to take advantage of these beauties while they lasted. We picked up one sizeable truffle and at $160.00/lb it only came out to $6.50 (That is a steal for black truffles!). Since the truffle was surprisingly affordable, we decide to splurge and get some local chanterelle mushrooms as well. Inspired by CM's truffled risotto (and squash blossoms!), I knew exactly what we were going to do with our beautiful truffle and chanterelles. We were going to make risotto!
A couple of hours later, and Nich and I were in culinary heaven. We feasted on Black Truffle and Chanterelle Risotto, Blood Orange and Hazelnut Salad, and paired it with a bottle of 2007 Erath Estate Pinot Noir. It was utter decadence (and it was all local!). I think we really, truly outdid ourselves this time. Which, then, leaves me to wonder: What the heck am I going to do for Valentine's Day? How can we top this? But, maybe – just maybe – that is precisely the point. Maybe we can't top that meal, and maybe we don't need to. Call me old-fashioned, but I'm of the opinion that romance doesn't need to be confined to one particular Hallmark holiday. Sometimes, the best dates just happen on a random weeknight. Its not that I have anything against Valentine's Day – I want an excuse to drink champagne and eat chocolates as much as the next – but I'm a firm believer that Valentines should be one date night among many.
That being said, I really have no idea what we're doing for Valentine's day this year. All I know is that we are staying in! I can figure out the menu later, right? As for you, dear reader, you're set. I just figured out your Valentines plans for you: Make this risotto, open a bottle of wine, and spend the evening with the one(s) you love. Or don't make it on Valentine's day (to heck with romance!)! Just promise me you'll make it at some point. This is simply too delicious, you must try it for yourself sometime.
P.S. If fresh truffles aren't available in your neck of the woods, don't sweat it. You can subsitute with a couple dashes of truffle oil (which is available in most specialty markets, Whole Foods, New Seasons, etc). Or you can skip the truffle altogether and just use chanterelles or other mushrooms!
(Adapted from Burwell General Store and this recipe on Open Source Food)
3/4 cup arborio rice
6 cups (or so) of Organic chicken, vegetable, or mushroom stock (We used chicken)
3 Tablespoons butter
1 cup (or more) of chanterelle mushrooms, washed and cut into quarters
1/2 black truffle, minced
1 large shallot (or 2 small shallots), minced
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
2 tsp fresh sage, minced
salt & pepper to taste
1. Heat stock in a small pan, preferably next to the burner you'll be cooking your risotto on. Keep stock heated over low heat while you make the risotto.
2. Heat butter in a large saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add in the minced shallots and cook for 3-4 minutes. Next, add in the chanterelle mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes. Once the mushrooms just barely begin to brown, add in the arborio rice. Stir well, to ensure that the rice is evenly coated in butter (add more butter if need be.) Add in a dash of the minced truffle, and stir to coat. After the rice is coated and sizzling (about 5 minutes), deglaze the pan with white wine (i.e. pour in the wine!).
3. Stir the rice constantly, and allow the wine to absorb. Once the wine has absorbed, start adding the stock in 1/2 cup at a time. With each 1/2 cup of stock, keep stirring and allow the stock to absorb completely before adding the next half cup of stock.
4. After about 30-40 minutes, the risotto should be thick and creamy. Test the rice, and when it is just barely al dente (tender with a tiny bit of crunch) stir in the parmesan, sage, salt, pepper, and the rest of the minced black truffle. Allow to cook for just a minute or two more, then remove from heat.
5. Garnish with fresh shaved parmesan, sage leaves, and shaved black truffle. Serve immediately! (Note: if using truffle oil instead of fresh truffles, stir in the oil with the parmesan and sage).

Eric and I met in our early college days but didn't start dating until our last semester senior year; an honest "what do we have to lose?" moment.
June babies are fortunate enough to have three beautiful birthstones from which to choose; the pearl, moonstone, and alexandrite. For our monthly birthstone series, we're focusing on the classic pearl. Many know that pearls are a naturally occurring gem, harvested from mollusks who form the birthstone in response to irritants that enter their shell. Unlike gemstones, which must be cut and polished, the pearl is complete when harvested, shiny and smooth. In its creation, nature teaches us that something everlastingly beautiful can be achieved by overcoming temporary challenges.

MONTREAL - There will be no charges laid against police who shot and killed two people in Montreal last year, including an innocent bystander on his way to work.
A statement from the province's Director of Penal and Criminal Prosecutions about the June 2011 tragedy said there were no grounds for charges.
"No criminal infraction was committed by officers with the Montreal Police Service," said the statement issued Thursday.
That assessment was based on an investigation by provincial police — who reviewed the work of the Montreal police officers involved in the shootings.
The incident earned national attention, triggered an angry anti-police march, and prompted calls for procedural changes at Quebec's police forces.
Officers shot a homeless man, Mario Hamel, during a public disturbance. Their gunfire also struck Patrick Limoges, who happened to be walking by on his way to work at a nearby hospital.
Montreal police said they were called as a knife-wielding Hamel tossed garbage around downtown Montreal. Hamel, a mentally ill 40-year-old who lived in a downtown shelter, was cornered by police, ordered to drop his weapon, pepper-sprayed, and ultimately shot.
The 36-year-old Limoges was across the street when he was struck by a police bullet.
In Quebec, it is customary when a police force is involved in a shooting for another to handle the investigation. The debate over who should be leading those investigations was rekindled following the tragedy.
The provincial government has since introduced reforms intended create a civilian oversight body that would monitor such investigations. But its critics — including Quebec's ombudsman — have said the changes don't go far enough because police still have too much latitude.
That 2011 incident and other recent shootings involving police in Montreal have also prompted adjustments to intervention tactics, like making a few more tasers available.

At 10 a.m. last Saturday, Kelly Heney packed her Chevy Suburban with soccer equipment and drove two of her sons, Seamus, 10, and Liam, 8, from their home in Hamilton to a game in neighboring Wenham. While she was helping coach her boys to a win in the team's season finale, Bill Heney, her husband, stayed home with the couple's other three sons, Aidan, 13, Cormac, 5, and Nolan, 3.
For the Heney family, the weekend sports schedule was just beginning, though.
At 1:30 p.m. Kelly (coaching) and Cormac (playing) rushed off to another soccer game, followed by a flag football contest (Liam) and a hockey game (Bill coaching, Cormac playing) in Newburyport. Save for a wrist injury to Aidan and the winding down of the soccer season, the weekend would have looked a lot like the previous one, which was crammed with 15 games and practices that began at 5 p.m. Friday and did not end until early Sunday afternoon.
"Sports are what we do. And it's cheaper than juvenile detention," joked Bill Heney, an attorney in North Beverly, who has helped start a youth hockey program, the North Shore Ice Hawks, that reserves ice time in nearby towns only, and at reasonable (i.e. not predawn) hours. Its family-friendly mantra: "More time on the ice, less time in the car."
The Heneys are hardly alone in having to play athletic air-traffic controller, juggling schedules for multiple kids playing multiple sports or on multiple teams (school, town, club, travel, AAU) for a single sport, all taking place at different times and at different fields, gyms, or rinks, some far-flung.
Couple these complex logistics with concerns over potential injuries to young bodies, behavior-challenged parents, and the overscheduling of kids, then add the cost of team fees, equipment, private lessons, camps, clinics, and travel expenses. One might reasonably ask: Why do so many families make such all-in commitments?
The answer is, legions of parents maintain that the benefits of participating in youth sports — physical fitness, learning about teamwork, reducing video screen time, etc. — outweigh the negatives.
Many experts agree, at least up to a point.
John O'Sullivan, author of "Changing the Game: The Parent's Guide to Raising Happy, High Performing Athletes and Giving Youth Sports Back to Our Kids," believes that youth sports are valuable, both from a healthy lifestyle perspective and because they expose kids to "core family values," as he puts it.
But as sports programs have become more organized, more multilayered, and more specialized, O'Connor acknowledges, seasons have lengthened and families have scrambled to keep up.
"It's created an added burden on parents to get their kids there," he observes. "Most parents I know are happy to deal with it, but it is a logistical challenge."
Many families combine old-school methods, such as posting a calendar listing all their sports dates on the refrigerator, with newer, more high-tech methods to keep track of everything. The Heneys, for instance, regularly check town team websites for scheduling updates. Marcia Pereira of Medway, the mother of two sports-active children, relies on Cozi, a free iPhone app with a shared calendar feature to which all her family has access.
No iPhone app, though, can reduce the amount of travel involved in youth sports these days once kids start playing at a level beyond beginner.
Business school professor and author Mark Hyman, whose books include "The Most Expensive Game in Town: The Rising Cost of Youth Sports and the Toll on Today's Families," generally believes in youth sports, too, as O'Sullivan does, if not in the outsize expectations some parents place on them, whether it be earning a college scholarship or even gaining a shot at professional sports, which very, very few young athletes ever do.
Hyman takes note, though, of how radically the sports landscape has changed in recent times, generating far more options — and complications — for modern families.
While he was growing up, Hyman says, "we played in our own neighborhood, against neighborhood kids. The idea of driving to a neighboring state to play a game was not really considered. As a result, the time commitment for parents was much more manageable.
"Now you have families traveling virtually every weekend, not only to a neighboring town but sometimes hundreds of miles away. It creates tensions that families didn't face much 30 years ago."
Pereira describes her family sports commitments as "a juggling act, always a battle" to make everything run smoothly. Both she and her husband work full-time, and Pereira also serves on the board of her local Pop Warner football league.
The couple's son Marek, 11, plays football, basketball, and lacrosse and wants to add baseball next spring, she says. Daughter Sasha, 6, has already taken up cheerleading, gymnastics, swimming, dance, and softball.
"Fortunately, we live in a great community where a lot of people are willing to pick up other kids and take them to practice," Pereira says."There's no being shy about asking, though. And you have to be willing to reciprocate."
Pereira, who drives a Mini Cooper, says friends tease her about deliberately picking a car that's highly impractical for hauling around football players and their bulky equipment. "I didn't plan it that way, though," she says with a laugh.
Beyond the organizational issues are the strains on the ties that bind. Having multiple kids involved in multiple sports can be like installing a hurry-up offense in a family playbook already bulging with other obligations.
There are carpools to be coordinated and child-care coverage to be organized. Sacrifices in "family time" are a routine part of the playbook. Which parent should attend which child's game when conflicts arise, as they inevitably do?
Moreover, when away games are far away, these decisions can get even tougher. Childhood may be fleeting, after all, but so are the hours in a busy family weekend.
"Our rule is, if both of us can go to a game, we go together — with any kids who are available, although we don't make them watch," says Christine Gillis of Ashland about how she and her husband try to stay involved while preserving as much family-together time as possible. Her four kids (Larry Jr., 14; Natalie, 13; Julia, 12; and Matthew, 9) are active in an impressive array of sports, including football, lacrosse, basketball, track and field, soccer, swimming, gymnastics, and wrestling. Larry Gillis, her husband, has coached youth sports as well.
Home games take priority over travel games, according to Gillis. When games overlap, mom and dad do their best to divide and conquer. With so many kids playing that many sports, though, blanket coverage is often impossible.
That being the case, Gillis has resigned herself to missing some of her kids' games without feeling guilty about it, as many parents might.
"I don't want them performing sports for me anyway, but for themselves," she says.
"It is a tap dance," says Kevin Breen of North Andover, whose two sons — Connor, 14, and Jack, 11 — play or have played football, basketball, and baseball. Breen has coached both boys in town sports and serves as president of his local Little League. They've also joined AAU baseball teams that train indoors all winter long, then play as many as four games per weekend during the spring. Come summer, each team travels to at least one out-of-state tournament, requiring mom and dad to book hotel space and plan accordingly.
"Basketball almost feels like a season off to us," says Breen.
Paying for all these commitments requires making other lifestyle choices, he adds. "I'm driving around in a car with 130,000 miles on it. And for us, summer vacation could be a hotel room in Rhode Island rather than a family trip to Disney World."
Bill Heney concedes that managing a sports-packed calendar may not work for every household. "It's a time commitment and a money commitment, but to us, it's worth it," he says. "What makes it special is, it's something we all love and can do together as a family."

Chris Seddon, Chairman of St Cuthbert's Society, writes:
St Cuthbert's Society was founded in 1854 and has had a proud association with Ushaw ever since. Originally an association of Alumni of the College, the Society now invites membership from all who have an interest in the future of the former St Cuthbert's Seminary and look to it performing a wider mission but one still rooted in Catholic educational activities.
Please consider joining us; you would be very welcome.
Becoming a member will not involve you in any need to give any time, it will only involve a modest yearly subscription fee!
It is intended that the society maintains its original object of forming a centre of union for the alumni and friends of Ushaw.
However, the closure of the seminary brings new challenges and new opportunities.
Become a member and help shape the future of the society.

While many Americans have already received tax refunds for last year, a growing number are getting some rather frustrating news — a notice that their check has been cashed by someone else.
Despite efforts by the Internal Revenue Service to target tax cheaters — the agency last week said it prevented $20 billion in would-be fraudulent refunds in 2012, up from $14 billion the year before — tax-related identity fraud is on the rise. The IRS Identity Theft Protection Specialized Unit received nearly 450,000 cases of identity theft last year, up 78% from 2011. "This is a major problem, and it can tarnish just about every aspect of your life, " says Michelle Wynn, a tax attorney with IRS Medic. See: How to avoid tax scammers
Many legitimate taxpayers don't realize their refund has been stolen until they prepare their returns — and have them rejected by the IRS. Others will receive a letter from the IRS stating they may owe more taxes because their returns didn't include all of the income being earned under their name and Social Security number — a sign that someone else may be working under their personal information, says Wynn. See: 8 most common tax-filing blunders
What should victims do? Step 1, says the IRS, is to call the agency to launch an investigation. The IRS will then move to confirm the taxpayer's identity, track down the thief and (hopefully) recover the refund. The IRS says the average case takes about 180 days — and that it's looking to cut down that time. But some victims have to deal with the IRS for years, especially in complex cases where the fraud went on for multiple years, the national taxpayer advocate, Nina Olsen, noted in her last annual report to Congress, in which she identifies the most serious problems facing taxpayers.
Taxpayers who suspect their identity has been stolen should call the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 800-908-4490 and fill out an IRS Identity Theft Affidavit, Form 14039 (link). The IRS may ask for certain documents to help verify the taxpayer's identity, such as a photo ID, W-2 forms and previous tax returns.
Some rare cases will require legal action. For example, if the IRS tries to seize your property or checking account for a tax bill triggered by fraud — a scenario that may happen if the fraud goes undetected for years — you may have to make your case in court, says Wynn. Identity theft victims should also check for signs of abuse in previous years, says Wynn, recalling one client who didn't realize his identity had been stolen until he received a collection notice for a previous tax year.
Tax experts recommend getting what's called a tax account transcript from the IRS, a free document that lists the income being reported under a Social Security number, along with marital status and the types of returns filed. (Order a transcript at IRS.gov.) Victims should also check their credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com (link) and alert the reporting agencies about any loans or credit cards that fraudsters may have opened in their names.
The Federal Trade Commission, which listed identity theft as the top consumer complaint made to the agency for the past 11 years, also has some tips for reporting such fraud, including filing a report with the police department and placing a fraud alert on your credit reports. (link)
The IRS has been ramping up its anti-fraud efforts over the past few years. Through a "massive national sweep" this year, the IRS caught 389 identity theft suspects, and made 109 arrests and 189 indictments. And the agency now has more than 3,000 employees working on identity-theft-related issues — double the amount in 2011. One small step taxpayers can take to possibly speed up their investigation and take advantage of that added staff, say pros: Keep calling. "The more often you're calling in, the more they're looking at your file," says Wynn.

On the eve of a huge solidarity rally planned Thursday for Freedom Plaza in Washington, and with new recruits emerging daily across the nation, the emphatically diverse "Occupy" protest movement is already facing a Shakespearean-level dilemma: To be or not to be specific about its demands.
If it refuses to spell out actionable agendas, will it get anything at all? Ay, there's the rub.
"Occupy Wall Street" has listed virtually every progressive concern of the early 21st century in its current manifesto – from environmental degradation and corporate greed to animal rights and gender, race, and age equality, as well as collective bargaining rights. Now a new item has emerged, listing access to higher education as a basic human right, perhaps not surprising considering the youthful face of the movement.
Such idealism is all well and good for a protest moment, but not enough for a genuine movement, says Professor Ted Morgan of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, author of "What Really Happened to the 1960s: How Mass Media Failed American Democracy."
"For this to move from a colorful, attention-grabbing protest, they are going to have to reach into communities, connect with workplaces, churches, schools," he says. "That's how you build organizations that create change.
"It takes a long time, and it's not as exciting or dramatic as camping out in front of City Hall," he adds with a laugh, "but that's how grassroots change happens."
The team behind "Occupy Los Angeles" is finding its own way. They just have their own way of going about it. Taking a page from the Wall Street playbook, the dozens of Angelenos hunkered down Wednesday in the first big rain of the season say they meet every night at 7:30 on the steps of City Hall.
"Everyone is welcome," says Lisa Clapier, who directs media for the group from a small tent with tables filled with laptops, coffee makers, donated donuts, coolers, and a small generator. But, she adds, "They have to come as an individual. They may not come as a group with their own agenda."
She notes that a local activist ensemble tried to press its concerns on the group at the Tuesday night meeting. "We kicked them out as a group," she says, adding, "but let them know they were welcome to voice their individual issues any time."
As unions and other traditionally Democratic groups have joined marches and expressed support for the Occupy movement, many original members have shared their concern that the movement will be co-opted by these organizations with strong political ties.
"We're happy to have them be in solidarity with us," says Ms. Clapier, "but we don't want to be tied to their positions."
Interviews with those at the "Occupy Los Angeles" encampment outside City Hall – the 300 or so people who spend the nights here pitch their tents on the sidewalk to comply with "don't sleep on the grass" ordinances – show most participants feel this movement is just beginning and getting more structured every day.
Whereas a march by members of New York's "Occupy Wall Street" to the Brooklyn Bridge last Saturday resulted in hundreds of arrests, this encampment is peaceful and trying to work with city officials.
The group assembles every night at 7:30 on the steps nearby and holds a general council. Joe Briones, a 27-year-old film major at nearby LA City College, lives at the site and still attends classes via subway.
"We feel we are working hand-in-glove with the city here," says Mr. Briones. He explained how volunteers Googled the term, "general assembly formats" and have copied one used in Spain.
"This is direct democracy," he says. "People propose ideas and if the group doesn't like it, it gets thrown out."
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa visited Wednesday after a City Council hearing that was streamed live on websites, with council-invited speakers stepping up to the mike for a minute each, distilling what each thinks the council can do to meet the group's list of broad goals.
"Four city council members came out and talked to us yesterday and shook our hands and told us they are in solidarity with our goals," says Clapier, who acknowledges that at the moment the goals are focused on the big picture. She says the group is whittling down a list of some 50 goals to 12 by next week.
Margot Paez, a director, writer, and actor, is attending the encampment as both a protester and a journalist for insightoutnews.org.
"I am watching these developments from the inside and am really struck by how the mainstream media has tried to write this off as a bunch of hippies," she says. "I consider it my contribution to help correct that misconception."
The challenge for many protest movements as they try to evolve is that "building more formal organizations will necessarily exclude some participants and issues," says Marc Dixon, assistant sociology professor at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.
It is important to recognize that the protesters have succeeded in one significant way already by bringing some of these issues to the public, he says, "be it economic inequality, the undue influence of Wall Street, or enlivening the democratic process."
Bringing attention to neglected issues is one thing protest movements do well, he notes. But they run the risk of not putting forth a more explicit program or demands while media and public attention is greatest.
"As media attention wanes, their leverage with policymakers also declines and the potential for significant political change diminishes," he points out. "It is hard to imagine a more opportune time than now."

Many, many people have written in asking why we have to pay just to enter a station. They argue that it's a ripoff to swipe the farecard and then have to pay the minimum fare if, say, there's a major delay and they decide it's quicker to get to their destination by exiting the system immediately to walk or get a cab instead of dealing with MetroMess.
Here's WMATA's answer:
Metro uses a two point fare system, you swipe your card when you enter and again when you leave. It is expected that when you enter the system you do so with the intent of going someplace other than where you started, and we collect the fare accordingly. We also have in place a policy that states if a major delay or incident happens, the General Manager has the authority to invoke our "Zero Fare Policy" which allows customers to leave the system from the same station they enter at with no fare charged. (Board notification is required every time this is enacted as it violates our tariff)Here's what San Fran's BART does if you decide you don't want to ride:
Now, image you and a friend (Internet, Craig's list) both ride every day. You get on at Vienna and travel to Metro Center and your friend conveniently gets on at Metro Center and travels to Vienna. You determine that if you meet at, let's say Rosslyn, he gives you his fare card and you give him your fare card, you would both have fare cards showing you leaving from the same station you entered and…
You can find our tariff here: http://www.wmata.com/about_metro/docs/WMATA_Tariff_Effective_06272010.PDF
You would pay a fare of $5.20 because the gates presume you've been riding around for any period of time less than three hours.Photo: sabine01
To avoid such a charge, see the station agent instead of going through the fare gate. If the ticket is still open and has not been used for exit, the agent can reset that ticket.

Continuing what's proving to be a comparatively wet July, isolated showers and thunderstorms are expected across Southern California Friday, with a flash-flood watch issued for some valley and mountain areas.
Brief rainfall in the early morning hours hit across Southern California, bringing some lightning. Warm and humid conditions were expected as more rain was forecast for the rest of the day.
The morning's rain puts the month at a tie for the fourth-wettest July in Los Angeles since weather records were kept in 1877. Downtown LA has received 0.09 inches of rain this month, one of only 20 Julys in which rainfall has ever been recorded there.

After 11 a.m., a flash-flood watch is in effect through the evening for the San Gabriel Mountains, the mountains of Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and the Antelope, Apple, Coachella and Lucerne valleys.
Normally dry washes and small creeks can overflow rapidly during heavy downpours, the National Weather Service warned.
"Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation," the service stated.
In areas recently burned in the San Jacinto Mountains – during the 43-square-mile Mountain Fire – flooding, mud and debris flows pose a risk, according to the National Weather Service. Full containment of the Mountain Fire is expected Tuesday.
On a mostly cloudy day, Friday's highs are expected to be around 70 at the beaches, lower 80s inlands and in the low 90s in the valleys.

Internet governance was on the agenda at Thursday's bilateral cyber meeting.
Hours before kickoff at the much-anticipated U.S. vs. Germany World Cup game, the two countries held what was planned as a friendly match to hash out cyber matters.
The U.S.-Germany Cyber Bilateral Meeting in Berlin wrapped up around 5 p.m. German time (11 a.m. EDT), according to the State Department's Office of the Coordinator for Cyber Issues. State officials said they will release a joint statement on the event later today.
The talks were expected to cover the protection of key industry sectors, cybercrime and Internet governance.
The latter has become as contentious as soccer in some corners. Europeans allege the United States could abuse its position as the steward of the Web's address directory to advance economic and intelligence agendas.
A Commerce Department agency currently administers changes to the Internet directory and contracts out some duties to the U.S.-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, an international nonprofit.
Earlier this year, German Chancellor Angela Merkel backed the idea of carving out a separate European Internet to shelter her citizens from U.S. surveillance. In 2013, documents leaked by ex-National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden indicated the United States had been monitoring Merkel's cellphone calls. She denounced spying among friends as unacceptable.
Amid the uproar, the U.S. government has announced plans to cede control of Internet-naming responsibilities -- such as approving the suffix .futbol – to "the global multistakeholder community."
But as of Wednesday, Europe continues to attack ICANN as unfit for Internet governance, AFP reports. France reportedly failed to halt the assigning of new names, which it wants restricted to protect regional products such as Champagne. Now, the country intends to start discussions with other European nations on control over the Internet. Earlier this week, ICANN leaders said France has not exhausted all options to raise concerns and should do so.
State cyber coordinator Christopher Painter on Thursday led the U.S. delegation. Delegates included representatives from Commerce, the departments of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense, as well as from the National Security Council.
The meeting is expected to be followed tomorrow with a live-streamed U.S.-German cyber dialogue, in which White House counselor John Podesta and other federal representatives will discuss big data, privacy and economic innovation, among other issues.
The open dialogue is scheduled to be hosted by German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Other anticipated speakers include Federal Trade Commission chief Julie Brill, former U.S. Foreign Service senior official Jim Lewis, now a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and former Commerce counsel Cameron Kerry, now a researcher at the Brookings Institution.
The two countries held their first bilateral engagement June 14 in Washington.

My collection of jazz essays finally published, and I'm excited for you to read it. It's an ebook called This Is and includes essays about the talent and tragedy of saxophonist Hank Mobley, the untold story of lost pianist Jutta Hipp, the creative influence of drugs and sobriety as seen through the film The Connection, the on-stage murder of trumpeter Lee Morgan, a close listen to Mile's Davis' song "So What" across ten years of its evolution, the scores of unreleased music in the Blue Note vault, as well as other stories of joy, genius and struggle. I designed the cover from William Gottlieb's archival photographs, and Publishing Genius' Adam Robinson generously did the layout.
You can buy it here, online.
Here's what a few of my favorite writers said about it:
"The richness of the eight essays in Aaron Gilbreath's This Is is a fitting tribute to the richness of jazz itself. Gilbreath weaves unique insight with a profound understanding of the history of jazz. His crisp prose and diverse range make you want to turn the page and run to the record store in equal measure." -Roxane Gay, author of Bad Feminist
"Aaron Gilbreath's writing about jazz is as friendly and welcoming as any you'll find." -Luc Sante, author of Low Life and Kill All Your Darlings
"Aaron Gilbreath writes about Jutta Hipp and Miles Davis and Lee Morgan and Jackie McLean and others long gone with curiosity: he lines up the questionable historical record with what's knowable and provable, and finds out where the lessons are." –New York Times jazz and pop critic Ben Ratliff, author of Coltrane: The Story of a Sound and The Jazz Ear: Conversations over Music
"Aaron Gilbreath is an outstanding jazz writer, with a deep appreciation for the music's tradition and an engaging prose style." -Ted Gioia, author of The History of Jazz and Delta Blues
"In these vivid, affectionate essays, Aaron Gilbreath moves in pure and distinct prose among stories and histories, moments and decades, mystery and clarity. His account of Jutta Hipp is one of the finest pieces I've read on the forgotten fringes of the music industry. This Is is an essential read for anyone who loves mid-century jazz culture and wonders about the dynamics of expression." -Joe Bonomo author of Sweat: The Story of The Fleshtones, America's Garage Band and Jerry Lee Lewis: Lost and Found
I hope you dig the book!

LAS VEGAS, January 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Yifang Digital Technology Co., Ltd. received the "Annual Best Innovative Application Award" for its latest stylus pen for Windows 8 use, the Touch 8, at the awards ceremony of the "2012-2013 Consumer Electronics Top 10 Brands from China". The ceremony was held in Las Vegas on January 9, coinciding with the 46th Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which took place from January 8 to 11. The ceremony attracted the presence of more than 300 media outlets home and abroad and drew attention from the industry around the world, and it gave the Chinese consumer electronics industry an opportunity to collectively demonstrate their brand strengths and showcase their premium quality and wisdom to the world. Sponsored by IDG and co-sponsored by top research firm IDC and CEO CIO Magazine, the annual event aims to present the glamour of Chinese brands to the world. Yifang was the gift sponsor that provided the magic power of Touch 8 digital pens during the award ceremony.
(Onsite photo: http://www.cebrands.cn/news.asp?op=read&cate=&ID=93 )
Shenzhen Yifang Digital Technology Co., Ltd. debuted its latest products at CES as well, including tablet PCs and stylus pens, but its sole patent product, the "Touch 8" pen, was their shining star.
Touch 8 is a Windows 8 peripheral device for the "post-mouse era" that upgrades a PC screen to a touch screen, improving the Windows 8 user experience. The technology of the touch pen, which stems from Israeli two-dimensional positioning and tracking military technology, enables users to activate all applications by simply touching, sliding, swiping and dragging the pen. It can be used to view the web, check email, zoom in and out on pictures, play games, and annotate documents, all by touch. All in all, the Touch 8 easily solves problems brought by Windows 8's launch.
Yifang Digital has more than 90 patents, and holds the proprietary intellectual property rights of its Windows 8 touch pen. Therefore, there are no similar products on the market. The sole technology guarantees the quality and upgrading services of the pen. It is also cost effective and easy to use; the computer recognizes the pen as a human interface device and no separate drive need be installed, making it useful for a variety of occasions, such as business meetings, and in education and entertainment.
As a whole, it is easy to understand why the award was granted to Shenzhen Yifang Digital Technology Co., Ltd. and the magic of this stylus pen.
During the award ceremony, Jennifer Xu, Vice President of IDG Asia Pacific, said, "Today, China's consumer electronics companies are supplying increasingly greater driving forces to the global industry. Meanwhile, the convergence, penetration and innovation by the Chinese companies are accelerating on the whole. IDG would like to give them an opportunity to display on the international arena."
This was not the first time for Yifang Digital to attend CES. As a private enterprise, Yifang Digital will continue to enter new areas in the global market to create the perfect product "made in China", and the company will commit to providing world-class "made in China" digital products and services to global markets with the tireless spirit of innovation.
A Brief Introduction to Shenzhen Yifang Digital Technology Co., Ltd.
Founded in 1992, Yifang Digital is committed to offering world-class consumer electronic products. In early 2010, the company acquired Pegasus Technologies from the Israeli inventor of the ultra-sonic digital pen. Yifang Digital also holds a wide portfolio of 90 patents covering ultra-sonic digital pen technology and products that are supported by two research centers in Shenzhen and Tel Aviv, with 300 engineers and programmers. Yifang Digital also has permission from Apple Inc. to offer stylus pens for Apple's iPads and iPhones. To offer customers a better sourcing option, Yifang Digital has one of the best R&D teams consisting of innovative professionals experienced with the Android platform and tablet products. This capability has helped the company to develop its Nextbook-brand line of tablet PCs, which has ranked as one of the top-10 tablet PC brands in the US. All Yifang Digital's products are RoHS, CE and FCC-compliant.

It should come in your Anglophile "handbook" (maybe there should be one) before induction to the club. But there are a bunch of British-American words that can surprise the best of us.
