Ashley Madison: Infidelity, Controversy, and...Baby Names?
Last week AshleyMadison.com, a "dating" site for people who want to cheat on their partners, got its name in the news again. Their ploy this time was very publicly offering to buy all the advertising spots relinquished by other advertisers on Rush Limbaugh's radio show.
Through one publicity stunt or another, AshleyMadison.com has introduced most of the public to its rather nose-crinkle-inducing mission, as well as its double-barrelled name title. But who is this famed adulteress, Ashley Madison? A 21st century Madame Bovary, finding herself in the throes of passion of one extramarital affair after another?
In a past interview with the L.A. Times, the site's founder Noel Biderman gave the answer -- there is no Ashley Madison. Indeed, the name Ashley Madison was inspired by...baby names. Back in 2001, the male company founder picked two names from the top of the popularity charts to craft an imaginary female proprietor for the site.
His goal, according to the Times, was to attract women to the site. That makes sense. The site is, after all, essentially a giant pick-up bar of the sort that offers "ladies night" discounts to lure in elusive female customers. And using a female name to make women feel welcome and comfortable is an old trick. Male authors of Harlequin-style books routinely use female psuedonyms.
But using baby name stats to target the psyches of young married women and lure them from their partners? Well. That's a use of baby name culture even we didn't see coming.
Let's take a look at their 2001 baby name choice, shall we? In 2001, Ashley was the #4 most popular baby name, while Madison was #2. Ashley's trendiness differed from Madison's however: by 2001, Ashley had been on top for nearly two decades since it first climbed to #4 in 1983. Madison's popularity climbed sharply starting in the late 90s, breaking into the top ten only in 1998. That left Madison still sounding more like a last name, whereas Ashley was a well-established, young and fashionable first name.
So in 2001, Ashley Madison was deemed a name likely to appeal to the same kind of women who choose baby names -- roughly 18-40, and in relationships. How the women were to go from looking at baby names to planning an extramarital affair is left to the imagination.
What might the site be named if it were created today? Chloe Sophia (#9 and #2)? Emma Olivia (#3 and #4)? Or do you still need the surname heft Madison offered? Perhaps Ava Madison, then (#5 and #8)?
And what happens to the Ashley Madison brand as the names age? 11 years into the company's life, that's already started. While Madison is still a top-10 name its popularity has fallen by almost half, and Ashley is down to #27. The company can hardly rebrand every ten years to keep up with changing tastes in baby names.
They may not have to, though. If you look at those romance-novelist pen names, it turns out that they almost always choose names typical of middle-aged women. Those are the cozy confidantes who will guard your secrets. So for better or worse, the name Ashley Madison could well keep attracting unhappy wives and lovers for another generation.
What do you think of the co-opting of baby names for the infidelity-based dating site? Do you think this was an effective strategy to draw women to the site? What do you think will happen to Ashley Madison as those names become less trendy?

A word from Andina
Andina draws inspiration from the native culinary traditions of Peru, as well as from the contemporary cooking by some of Peru's leading chefs. Owner Doris Rodriguez de Platt, collaborates with Andina's kitchen team to develop a menu that celebrates her family's Andean roots, interweaving the ideas and techniques of both Criollo and Novo-Andean cuisines. The kitchen sources native and local ingredients to create dishes at once traditionally rooted and personally inspired. Founded in 2003, Andina emerged as one of the region's leading Peruvian restaurants and continues to generate wide appeal within the food communities in and around Portland, and much further afield.Continued

- Deserves its great ratingOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/15/2014We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here. Two of our guests had to cancel at the last minute, and two of our guests were stuck in traffic and arrived late. They were very accommodating and didn't hurry us. Unique and delicious food too!Special Features:
- Excellent FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/13/2014The Food here was great, but it's not really a good place to go if you want to have a conversation. The tables are so close together that you feel like you're sitting with strangers. The service is also really, really good. I'm not sure how the servers negotiate the space, but they do. They are fast, courteous, and very attentive to the needs of their guests. Thank you for a great evening, Andina!Special Features:
- Peruvian Tapas?! Yes Please!volleyballbettyDined on 9/13/2014Andina is a happening place! We had a 5:30 reservation for dinner because that was all that was available 2 weeks out for a Saturday night, but the place was packed and lively even then! Ended up sitting at the bar and had the most amazing Octopus with chimichurri sauce - divine! Drinks were strong, bartended was friendly and helpful, and really enjoyed our evening there. The happy hour is great too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lunchDarlaVIPDined on 9/11/2014The yucca fries instead of bread was a nice treat. the portions were good, a little heavy on the salt for the entrees but the flavors were excellent. The Pisco Sour was very good.Special Features:
- Top of its classMrfearlessVIPDined on 9/10/2014Another outstanding meal. Menu always changing but some meals impress every time. Specials are creative and made with fresh ingredients sourced locally. The fish is always seasonal and prepared in inventively clever and tasty ways. Bar does great job with standard cocktails, but has premium specials that are worth the trip alone. Pisco sours are not found everywhere, but are house specials at this pan-Latin, Peruvian-themed restaurant. Try it, you'll love all of the taste sensations. Modestly high noise levels, but not uncommon for trendy restaurants in the Pearl.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tasty but LoudcopyjerkDined on 9/10/2014The food was absolutely phenomenal, I just wish we would've been seated somewhere other than the middle of the room (very loud, no walls to block sound). If you're a party of two, you're apparently a target for the waiters to seat you in such a place, smack-dab next to ANOTHER couple. Yeah, it's not like I'm bringing a date and want just a little privacy... 10 stars for the food, though! Ask for a booth (wish I had)!Special Features:
- Great eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/10/2014Really enjoyed everything Shared a lot if different dishes and all was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top notch food and serviceOhiotravelersDined on 9/10/2014My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary. We ordered several tapas and all were excellent. The chef sent out an additional lamb skewer we had not ordered. We ordered a dessert to share and were surprised when we saw they had written Happy Anniversary in chocolate syrup on the plate and did not charge us for the dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 60th at AndinaTommyTDined on 9/10/2014I could have celebrated my 60th anywhere in Portland but I chose Andina. Our table for 8 in the bar was reserved for us and I had pre-ordered the menu for the evening earlier in the week. The group enjoyed cocktails until the food just started coming and we all just cruised along together enjoying the excellent service and fine presentation of all the dishes. Our 3 hours together was like a smorgasbord of Peruvian Cuisine. My 60th dinner party couldn't have gone any better! THANKS Andina!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go DownstairsJackDined on 9/8/2014Andina's is always great been dining there since 2002. Only complaint we have ever have is it can become a bit "energetic". This week we had the bottom table next to the men's room. A little discussion with the hostess and we discovered that they have a downstairs which is often less crowded. Even after 10 years of patronage we never new about this. We gladly went to the "Garden Court" and it was great. Intimate, quiet and just what we were looking for. If you like this kind of ambiance, ask for downstairs seating. Not always available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Andina sparklesOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/8/2014Interesting food beautifully prepared. Four tapas between two of us was plenty. Staff very knowledgeable and efficient. Huge space but still felt intimate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Happy Anniversary indeed...HungryGuyDined on 9/8/2014I went with my girlfriend for our first anniversary after a significant amount of research into restaurants in Portland. Andina shone in every list of reviews and recommendations I read and my local friend said it was excellent, so I walked in with high expectations. My expectations were more than met: Service was attentive and fluent in Spanish (I prefer ordering in Spanish when I can; it makes it feel more authentic) The restaurant was attractive and well-maintained. The food! We had six small plates and every single one of them was perfectly prepared, well-balanced, and interesting. Also, when the desserts came they had "Feliz Aniversario" written on the plate in chocolate. The desserts themselves were superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful dinnerLove2travelDined on 9/8/2014After two days of international dishes from the renowned food trucks in Portland, this was our first relaxing sit down dinner during our 4-day visit to Portland. We love to try different dishes so the tapas were perfect for us. It began with the special wild salmon sushi, followed by scrumptious crab avocado, scallops with carmellized onions, green mango cebiche, and topped off with the 3-pot creme brûlée dessert. What a fantastic meal! It's no wonder the whole restaurant was filled with happy and satiated diners! The waitstaff were all very personable, friendly and professional, especially our initial personal waiter.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent for special occasionNicoleDined on 9/7/2014The quality is well worth the price. Everything we ordered was thoughtfully put together and extremely tasty. We particularly enjoyed the oysters, and the range of small to large plate offerings. It was easier to judge portions and enjoy the complex dishes without leaving feeling overly full or still hungry. It was also nice to be out among adults, in a childfree but lively space. This was our second visit and we will definitely return!Special Features:
- LovechocolateVIPDined on 9/7/2014First time in a Peruvian restaurant. The waiter was so nice, smiling and friendly but then somehow we waited for our food for approx 40 min. The people who arrived after us were eating way before us. Not a good start. What we ordered was good, I saw at the end that I missed out on yucca fries(bummer!) wish I knew.. The quinoa chocolate dessert was amazing!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014I would have liked to try everything on the menu. Make sure you make a reservation early in the week.Special Features:
- Yum!PortlandNewbieDined on 9/4/2014Lots of unique dishes, enjoyed reading the description for each menu item. Small plates is the way to go so you can try several items.Special Features:
- Good but not quite up to the hype.evavitaDined on 9/3/2014in a city with so many great restaurants, Andina gets a lot of hype. Dined here the other night with some friends and we had a mixed experience. The cocktails were great (fantastic pisco sour, mohitos) and loved the appetizers (ceviche, fantastic empanadas). We were looking for a pinot noir from the northwest and were recommended a bottle after some discussion with us - we found it thin and not very pleasant at all. To be fair, she did exchange it for us after we all agreed it was unpleasant (at $70 a bottle). Her next recommendation was terrific and we really enjoyed the wine. The main courses were where we felt a little disappointed. Place was SUPER busy with a couple of small babies nearby-bill was close to $400. Spendy place for PDXSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/1/2014Overall very pleasant dining experience, food was outstanding, homey atmosphere. Very knowledgeable waiters, who cater to your needs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special OccasionPaulDined on 8/31/2014My wife and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary here. We were in Portland on holiday (our first visit to the city) and this dinner was one of the highlights of our trip. Fabulous food. Professional and delightful service. Two hours of culinary heaven.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MargaretVIPDined on 8/30/2014Fantastic restaurant - very interesting and delicious food. Great serviceSpecial Features:
- Great food!GDO1Dined on 8/30/2014Angina has GREAT food! Make sure and make a reservation as it's a popular restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not sure what the fuss is aboutOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/29/2014Perhaps it is because we are from out of town (NYC) or perhaps we just lucked out with our other dining choices in the area, but this was a distant 4 out of 4 of the dinners we had in Portland despite being our 2nd most expensive meal. To be fair, we probably would have spent more if our waiter wasn't in such a hurry for us to leave (service was extremely rushed, and we got the sense that he was doing us a favor by giving us his 5 minutes of time). The food was delicious and classics were perfectly executed but we can't understand why this is such a popular place as there are many, many better options in town.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/29/2014Food service was simply too slow to overlook. 3 people with salad and entrée only. The entire dinner took over 3.5 hours. Everything elese was excellent but the wait for wine, salad and entrée were too long.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OverratedFoodieVIPDined on 8/29/2014This was our second time and the second was no better than the first dining experience. There is nothing special about the food and I have concluded that it is highly rated because it is a different cuisine than is normally seen in the area.
- Peruvian piece of heavennwfoodieDined on 8/29/2014This is one of our favorite spots in Portland. We make sure it fits in our plans every time we visit. The service is excellence and the food is a combination of simple perfections and creative deliciousness. The live spanish guitarist is a bonus on weekends. There is a reason this spot was busier than anyplace else we walked past in Pearl Friday evening. It is consistently satifying.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!k8k8Dined on 8/29/2014Andina is hard to get in if you don't plan in advance but it is well worth the wait. We don't live in Portland but when we visit we try to include a meal at Andina. We are vegetarians and they always have very tasty vegie choices. The flavors are amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Second Time, Still Outstanding!barrelracerfoodieDined on 8/28/2014We chose Andina to celebrate our anniversary and what a right choice this was! The food is creative & flavorful, the signature drink was out of this world. We received our desserts as a gift from the restaurant with a beautiful note in liquid chocolate to celebrate our anniversary, truly a surprise and so delicious. Many restaurants will comp a pre-determined dessert for an event, but Andina gifted us our choice, so generous. The owner stopped by our table and was so genuine and took a moment to bless our anniversary, she is a true gem. We will always choose Andina as one of our dining spots when visiting Portland.Special Features:
- Food and service great!footladyDined on 8/28/2014Our waiters eyes lit up when explaining the menu. The selection and interesting foods were a foodies dream. However sitting a women in direct line of the men's washroom and a table that had a very busy, very narrow aisle way, with a loud group of cursing men made our experience less than desirable. Too bad. We won't be back or recommend it to anyone else especially when we made reservations several weeks prior. It seemed that they were oblivious to the tables obvious challenges.Special Features:
- So disappointed!Bite2eatDined on 8/28/2014Took our daughter and son-in-law here for a special occasion to celebrate and were so disappointed! Both my daughter and my fish dishes were raw in the center. The waiter was extremely apologetic and sweet and offered to have them redone,saying it would only take 5 minutes. We waited 20 min to get our second meals, in fact the bus people cleaned up the two men's dishes and tried to pick up our silverware and we had to explain we hadn't gotten our meals yet. Nice that we were given a one bite appetizer to eat while the men were eating and some ice cream later but the whole celebration dinner was ruined having to eat in two shifts!
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/28/2014Food and drinks were excellent. The service, once we were seated, was great. Our server was very knowledgeable about the food preparation questions we had. Interesting flavors thoroughout the meal. And the pisco sours were to die for.Special Features:
- noisyjojojoDined on 8/27/2014We were put in a corner table at the end of the room. At first, I was going to ask that they move us as it was a VERY SMALL table and I am 6'10. Also being a tucked away table sometimes they take a beating in the service area. That did't happen here, service was suberb with the exception of forgotten cream and sugar which was quickly remedied. The back corner spot was also far less noisy. We could at least carry on a conversation although one of the parties near us was extremely loud. Had we been "out in the open" there would have been no way we could have heard each other without shouting.Special Features:
- wonderful find new Latino cuisinehannahthedogDined on 8/26/2014super-fresh ingredients, imaginative combinations, beautiful, vibrant decor, surprisingly quiet (no music helps) given that the Restuarant was packed, and a new Latin cuisine (to us), 5 star service that was somehow there when you wanted it and not there when you didn'tSpecial Features:
- froglcmVIPDined on 8/26/2014I felt like there's a lot of hype around this restaurant and the food was just average. Cocktails were delicious and atmosphere was fun and lively.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/26/2014Food was good but not outstanding, I will go back again but only on a special occasion. Thought the service was fantastic except for the long wait time for our main course to come out. took about 1 hour for our food to arrive at our table after ordering, maybe even longer.Special Features:
- DelectableBob2014Dined on 8/26/2014Repeat customers from Seattle. My only recommendation is to reserve *way* ahead of time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Table Next to Restroom -- TWICEPortlandFoodieDined on 8/26/2014This is our second time there. Both were special occasions for us. Unfortunately, on both occasions, we were seated (table for 2) right next to the men's restroom -- even though BOTH of my Open Table reservations explicitly asked not to be seated near a toilet. This time we asked to move tables. Let's face it: it's impossible to celebrate an anniversary or share a romantic meal when men are constantly heading in/out of the john! I've traveled extensively throughout Latin America and lived there for 5 years. The food at Andina is authentic & wonderful, esp the tapas but we won't be back.Special Features:
- Kaeli19Dined on 8/25/2014We loved this restaurant. This was by far our best meal and liveliest spot of our vacation to Portland. I can't recommend more highly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointsGrahamDined on 8/25/2014Especially love the ceviche! Street car accessible. Peruvian food at its best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Andina - one of PDX's top choicesbReasonableDined on 8/24/2014Very good food, nicely presented. We chose about 4 small plates, 2 mediums for 2 of us and were pleased with all . None totally wow'd us but none were less than very good either (we're much pickier than most . . . so prepare to be wowed). Service was excellent . . . many waiters bringing many dishes from multiple directions. You do have to catch-and-ask if you have questions; but, when you do, the answers are knowledgeable and thorough. My only negative is that it was WAY too loud. All surfaces, ceiling, walls, floors, are hardwood and the voices just reverberate into a loud din. Loud enough I may take ear plugs next time. My cocktail that had a ginger sugar fused on th glass - not granular - smooth and wonderful addition.Special Features:

Seventies-Meets-Thirties Backstage At Zac Posen
Should you have been confused by all the marabou, the cutouts, and that oddly placed neckerchief in look three at Zac Posen's spring show this morning, his go-to makeup artist, Kabuki, offered up an explanation. "The show is about playful glamour with a touch of eccentricity, inspired in part by the late Seventies and a young Diana Vreeland in the thirties," he told us backstage. This meant pink pigment on lids and cheeks for a "floral and rosy—almost seashell" effect that the face painter created using MAC Pigment in Vanilla on the inner corners of the eye, blended outwards into its Pigment in Fuchsia, which was diffused to the temple. MAC's Fluid Line Eyeliner Gel in Blacktrack rimmed the upper and lower lash lines to frame said elaborate shadow job, which was further showcased by its Zoomblack Mascara and extra eyelashes that were drawn onto the skin with eyeliner. "That's the eccentric part," Kabuki said of the look, which he tweaked with an orangey/red pout topped off with a coat of clear gloss.
"A labor of love," is how Posen himself described his collection as he weaved in and out of the backstage area—and "labor" is a word hairstylist Jimmy Paul would likely attest to. "We tried a million things and then I did this post-disco rockabilly look and it all came together," Paul said of the pompadour-esque updos he created by fashioning deep side parts, pulling hair up at the hairline and then sweeping the excess into a ponytail or a bun. His secret? "Lots and lots and lots of hairspray"—particularly Bumble & Bumble Spray de Mode and its B&b Shine Spray for a polished finish.—Tina Isaac

Justifying Giant Gems.:
Gunpla is amazing!Hi there. I had an idea always cooked up that revolved around an entire society that uses large Power Crystals for just about everything. Like for example, flight or magnetic anti-gravity can be achieved by having a huge emerald stone underneath the vehicle. Now I know gems are NO WHERE that size in real life, but I was wondering if there was a way to justify a world where there is just a bunch and bunch of gems to be cut and refined for society beyond "Magic".
2 Septimus Heap, Wed, 3rd Oct '12 4:08:18 PM from Zurich, Switzerland Relationship Status: Mu
A Wizard boyActually, I am sure giant crystals of that size exist in RL. Wait a moment... Here we go. Up to 12 meters tall and 2 meters wide.

3 Madrugada, Wed, 3rd Oct '12 9:25:18 PM Relationship Status: In season
ZzzzzzzzzzCrystals can get huge in real life. What's unusual is gem-quality crystals — with the right color, translucency/transparency/opacity(depending on the gem), clarity, lack of contamination or structural flaws, and such like things that keep a crystal from being sufficiently attractive to be used as a gem.
'He strutted across the bedroom, his hard manhood pointing the way' sounds like he owns a badly named seeing-eye dog. 'Sit, Hard Manhood!
Gunpla is amazing!So just justify it by having the world have a bunch of large unrefined gems and the refining part be a huge industry?
5 Freezair For A Limited Time, Fri, 5th Oct '12 7:33:59 PM from Planet Claire
Responsible adultSomething like that'd work, yeah. It's worth noting that in real life, there's really no process for taking a less-than-gem-quality crystal and making it, well, gem quality. But you can use gem shards as "seeds" to grow bigger gems through artificial means, so if the society is hypertech-y enough, you could possibly justify it by saying that they've refined the means to make large, gem-quality crystals artificially.

Eye'm the cutest!^ Well considering you can make diamonds literally from scratch... @Topic: This occurs in reality. A number of fairly hefty gemstones have been unearthed before. Likewise the crystal caves like that mentioned in Mexico. There are a few theories/hypotheses that what was found in Mexico is a lot more common than thought, particularly in geologically active regions (mountain ranges, volcanic areas, plate boundaries). Also this has occurred in space. One recently discovered exo-planet is believed to be a giant diamond. No not covered in diamonds, the whole planet is one diamond. (This one.)

Following Two Years of Declines, Hotel Guest Satisfaction Increases to a Seven-Year High
Share This Page
The Ritz-Carlton; Kimpton Hotels; Hyatt Place; Holiday Inn; Drury Hotels; Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham; Homewood Suites and TownePlace Suites Each Rank Highest in Guest Satisfaction in Their Respective Segments
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: 24 July 2013 — Following two years of declines, hotel guest satisfaction has increased significantly, reaching its highest levels in the past seven years, according to the J.D. Power 2013 North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index StudySM released today.
Key Findings
- Overall guest satisfaction has improved to 777, up 20 points from 2012.
- This marks the highest satisfaction index score for the hotel industry since the introduction of the current study methodology in 2006.
- The number of interactions a guest has with the hotel staff may have a significant impact on overall satisfaction.
Overall guest satisfaction averages 777 on a 1,000-point scale, up 20 points from 2012. This marks the highest satisfaction index score for the hotel industry since the introduction of the current study methodology in 2006. Satisfaction has increased in all seven factors, with the largest increases in reservation, cost and fees, and check-in/check-out.
- Luxury: The Ritz-Carlton (for a fourth consecutive year)
- Upper Upscale: Kimpton Hotels
- Upscale: Hyatt Place
- Midscale Full Service: Holiday Inn (for a third consecutive year)
- Midscale: Drury Hotels (for an eighth consecutive year[2]
- Economy/Budget: Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham
- Upper Extended Stay: Homewood Suites[3]
- Extended Stay: TownePlace Suites
- Make the hotel work for you. Contact the property ahead of time and ask for suggestions for things to do; have them book restaurant reservations; and get all the directions you need before you arrive.
- If you are a frequent guest of a particular hotel, know the name of the front office manager and communicate to them ahead of your arrival to ensure they are aware of your visit. Loyalty still goes a long way in the hotel business.
- If you have special requests, call the hotel directly, talk to the front office manager, or email them with your needs. They are usually willing to work with you when given ample time. Don't wait until you arrive to make complicated requests.
- Don't assume all hotels are alike. Take advantage of all the information available to make an informed choice. If you know what you are getting ahead of time, you are less likely to be disappointed with your stay.
[2]This segment was previously called Midscale Limited Service.
[3]The Upper Extended Stay segment is new to the study in 2013. Homewood Suites previously ranked highest in the Extended Stay segment.

SOUTH WAYNE, Wis. (WTAQ) - Three people were killed and five others were injured when a car and a pickup truck collided head-on near South Wayne in southwest Wisconsin.
It happened about 2 a.m. Sunday on Highway 11. Lafayette County Sheriff Scott Pedley said the truck was towing a flat-bed trailer when it veered across the center line and hit the oncoming car.
The car driver, 67-year-old Richard Christen of Monroe, died along with two of his passengers – 70-year-old Carol Wenger of Monroe and 65-year-old Kathryn Olin of Brodhead. A third passenger in the car and all 4 people in the pickup truck were taken to a Monroe hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The truck was driven by a 20-year-old man from Glen Haven. The sheriff said alcohol did not appear to be a factor. Officials said the two people who died in the car were the only ones not wearing seat belts.
Highway 11 was closed for 6-and-a-half hours Sunday morning in the South Wayne area. Sheriff's deputies, the State Patrol, and the Lafayette County coroner's office continue to investigate the crash.

"Charter schools were originally created to serve as labs of innovation, developing best practices, and then sharing them widely to improve the work of all students."
— Shannah Varon, executive director, Boston Collegiate Charter School
The Charter School Exemplary Collaboration Award, a National Activities grant-award competition in the Charter Schools Program (CSP), is designed to provide just what Ms. Varon describes – an opportunity for high-quality charter schools with innovative ideas and a history of results to share their promising practices with non-chartered public schools and districts. The Collaboration Awards, funded for the first time in 2012, are grounded in a belief that trust and teamwork between high-quality charter schools and non-chartered public schools will accelerate educational excellence in all public schools. Additionally, successful joint ventures between schools can vary in their structures and objectives, while still remaining focused on the goal of strengthening a community and its schools.

TEB Dalton 19 Departure Now by Pilot Request Only
At last week's meeting of the Teterboro Users Group, violations of the Dalton Runway 19 departure at Teterboro (N.J.) Airport were a concern. A recent clarification among air traffic controllers has established that pilots can use the VFR departure only if they request it; ATC cannot offer it. The clarification comes as some departing pilots continue to violate the Dalton departure altitude restrictions, putting them at risk for separation conflicts with arrivals inbound to nearby Newark Liberty International's Runway 22. According to Ralph Tamburro, traffic management officer for NY Tracon, there have been three violations so far this year, from crews unfamiliar with the airspace. "The procedure is pretty straightforward," he told AIN. "The issue is you are staying at a relatively low altitude." During peak arrival periods at Newark, flights departing TEB's Runway 19 on IFR flight plans can face lengthy delays waiting for a gap in the larger airport's arrivals. Using the Dalton VFR departure can minimize that delay as departing aircraft are required to remain below the separation minimums. While the "request only" policy is intended to limit the use of the departure to crews that are aware of its existence and presumably its restrictions, some fear that reduced use of the VFR departure will further increase delays at TEB.

Addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky is speaking out about his daughter Paulina's eating disorder.He told "Extra" in a statement, "We are so proud of Paulina and her outreach to help others and particularly empower women. When she recognized she needed help she sought treatment and actively engaged in the process. And now she is using her insights to help others."
Fans were in shock on Tuesday to learn that Dr. Drew Pinsky has been battling prostate cancer for the past two years. After his scary diagnosis, Pinsky continued working on his HLN show while doctors closely monitored his tumor, eventually deciding to operate. No one had a clue that he was in the midst a health crisis.Dr. Drew on Call" host is speaking out about the diagnosis, telling "Extra's" Mario Lopez, "I kept it hidden because I felt like I should probably talk about it when it's over."
Dr. Drew said, "God bless Judge Dabney for finally requiring her through the courts to get treatment. This should save her life," pointing out that LiLo can "only leave when cleared by the medical director. I promise you she will not be ready in 90 days."
As for reports Lindsay was out partying last night, Pinsky is not surprised. "When someone is planning on going into treatment, they will frequently go out for a last hurrah."
Said Dr. Drew, "Whenever the child becomes a pawn or in the middle of a conflict between parents, that's never good for the kids."
Find out what else Dr. Drew has to say about the volatile situation, along with his take on his new MTV special "I'm Positive" -- about the reality of living with HIV.
In a preview clip from Tuesday's episode of "Dr. Drew" on HLN, the "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" star feigned sleep so she didn't have to answer host Dr. Drew Pinsky's questions.
Take a look!
"Extra" sat down with Dr. Drew Pinsky to talk about the tragic death of "Top Gun" director Tony Scott. "It's complicated and it's awful," he told us.
Colorado shooting suspect James Holmes dyed his hair weeks before opening fire at a midnight showing of "Dark Knight Rises." Sources say he used evidence bags as hand puppets and reportedly sat bug-eyed, twitching his eyebrows after his arrest early Friday morning. What does it all mean?
Addiction expert and "Lifechangers" host Dr. Drew Pinsky sat down with "Extra" to address the latest celebrity headlines, starting with Gerard Butler, who attended the Oscars on Sunday after finishing treatment in rehab for prescription pills.
Dr. Drew said, "It's a bad idea for Gerard Butler to be socializing just weeks after coming out of treatment for addiction. Usually, they should lay low for six weeks to twelve months."

There's currently a thread in GM about the top 5's trajectories in the last year, and it made me realise something nice. Currently, Maria has 7560 points. Coming out of last years AO, she had less than 3000 (2936) - an improvement of over 4600 points. That's seriously awesome, considering the lower end top 10 players don't even have 4600 points. All is not well, but it sure as hell isn't the doom and gloom we all felt the other day!
Yes, it's something Maria should be very proud of.
However, it's cold in high places, 3,700 of Maria's ranking points came from 3 slams alone. Hopefully Maria will continue to excel at slams and even better, to win 1 or 2.

The question everyone keeps asking continues to go unanswered tonight as we pass the day two mark of the investigation into the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. We did get some answers from police today. We got names, and details about the weapons used, and that's good. Police need those details as part of their investigation and we need them to try to help us make some sense of it all. I keep going back to the look on my 8-year-old daughter's face when I had to explain what had happened yesterday morning in a town we have close ties to. Her eyes looked at me, simultaneously filled with searching, hurt and disbelief, as she muttered the first and only word she could: "Why?"
The way her face changed, the way she changed in that moment of speaking that elusive, solitary word, will haunt me forever.
Since the blur of information and misinformation that was yesterday, police have been able to provide a clearer picture of what went down at Sandy Hook School sometime after 9:30 Friday morning. We know that an armed man, who is widely being identified as 20-year-old Adam Lanza, forced his way into the building and murdered a 47-year-old principal and a 56-year-old school psychologist.
We know that they did not succeed but gave their life trying, and will forever be hailed as heroes, along with the two first grade teachers and two classroom aids that put themselves between their kids and danger before bullets from an assault rifle covered them all. We know that sometime after that, the shooter took his life using one of the three guns he was carrying on his bulletproofed body.
I drove through Newtown, Connecticut last night, very late when I knew the roads would be quiet and news crews packed up for the night. I needed to reconnect with the community where I once worked and knew the members of the school community intimately. I drove past St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church where members of the town gathered earlier in the night to pray, and passed several houses completely dark and wondered, "Did one of those children live there? Is that why all the lights are out? Why?"
None of us are going to stop asking "why" Adam Lanza did this until we get an answer. Police say they have gathered "good evidence" in the home he shared with his murdered mother Nancy Lanza as to a possible motive, which might explain some things.
But it still won't answer the "why."
Just like I could not answer my daughter. We sat together for a little while watching the TV, me trying to explain as best I could to a little girl what was developing and what she would likely hear more about at school on Monday and the weeks to come.
But after a short while, something pretty astounding happened. She lost interest in the chatter on the TV and started playing games on my phone. Pretty soon she was even smiling. Wait a minute, how is this possible? She had not even gotten her answer, and yet she had already moved on.
That is the question we all should be asking instead of the "why." Because it doesn't exist.
My daughter asked the question, but she already held the answer. And we do, too. We may never forget or completely heal, but yes, we will all somehow get through this, each in our own way. It took a child to teach me this.

My first thought when I woke up this morning was how lucky I was to go check on my son sleeping safely in his bed and that there are parents out there that didn't get to do that today. I think we have to look at mental health differently after this. There is a teen being raised in my family with mental problems and he has gotten violent before and I know for a fact the people raising him aren't qualified and are probably making him worse. They refuse to discipline him and he plays video games 24/7. I have friends that run a home for people with high functioning mental disabilities and their hands are tied in so many ways that it is crazy. Most of their residents are fine but they have on that is out of control and there is nothing they can do. There isn't going to be an answer why to this because this boy was mentally sick and we can't make sense of this. We have to be able to take care of our mentally ill people better than this because right now it seems like we are sitting by while they either kill themselves or others.
Some information from Erik Medhus (a guy who died a few years ago) about why this occurred was channeled today and posted on the blog Channeling Erik.
And children aren't as knowledgeable and experienced (thus having fewer and/or less stringent expectations about how the world ought to be), and often aren't as empathetic as adults are (as their brain is still developing) so it can be much easier for them to not put much thought into the lives of others as we do, especially when it doesn't affect them directly (and thus not spend much time worrying about things such as this).
I'm afraid we'll never know the true reasons for this tragedy. My heart is breaking for these children and these heroes who tried to protect them. This tragedy highlights the very worst, but also the very best of human nature. These faculty and teachers tried to hurl themselves in front of this gunman to protect these children, this is the definition of being a hero. I can only hope when my DD goes to school she has a dedicated teacher like these teachers.
I am afraid we will never know why

San Diego State University
Project Overview
A second objective was added to the project with the availability of state-of-the-art eye-tracking equipment. In 1995, two eye-tracking systems were acquired under a separate DOD award through the Defense University Research Initiative Program (Grant No. N00014-95-1-1091). These systems were used here to evaluate the performance of officers as they interacted with several versions of the TADMUS decision support system (DSS).
The techniques developed in the initial phase of funding were used in the large
collaboration study by SPAWARSYSCEN and NAWCTSD researchers at the Surface Warfare
Officers School in Newport, RI, under the second phase of funding. This phase
spanned 1998-2000. During this time, the model was applied to two aspects of
tactical decision making: verbal communication among team members and access
of information from the prototype display.

A suspected drunk driver slams into a valley bus stop after hitting four other cars on Saturday afternoon. Fortunately no one but the driver was hurt. Several witnesses said they tackled the driver as he tried to take off.
"I thought I was going to have to jump on the guys hood and roll over," said Michael Reo. "The other car crashed into him and saved me."
Reo was riding his bike near Sahara and Jones. He does it all the time. He said a car narrowly missed him and accelerated straight into a bus stop.
"He was swerving," said Reo. "He was fishtailing and he lost control. I saw him go directly into the bus stop. I saw people scatter everywhere. Luckily no one got hit."
Metro said the man behind the wheel faces charges for drunk driving. He ran a red light as he was making a left on Jones. He then crashed into two cars. He tried to get away and then he crashed into two more cars and the bus stop. Several witnesses tackled him.
"I have a lot of martial arts and wrestling experience," said Dwayne Kittell. "I just made sure we can pin him to the ground."
"He put all those lives in danger at the bus stop," said Cory Nelson. "I wanted to make sure whether it was on purpose or on accident he didn't get away."
Nelson said the bus stop crash on Spring Mountain and Decatur that killed four pedestrians in July is still fresh on his mind.
"After what's happened in this city," said Nelson. "It's awful."
As for Reo, he calls them heroes and he's thankful for their help. He said it could have been worse.
"People did a good thing," said Reo. "They didn't let him just get away. He caused a lot of damage. I saw an elderly lady sitting right here and I'm surprised she jumped out of the way in time. He's lucky he didn't kill nobody."
The driver was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. Metro said he once he's released from the hospital he will be booked at the Clark County Detention Center for driving under the influence.

Disabled Chicago cop cut off after safari findings surface
Officer had claimed an injury made it impossible for him to safely fire a handgun
By Chris Fusco and Tim Novak
Chicago's police pension board suspended the disability benefits Thursday of a police officer who, after going on disability because of an injury he said made it impossible for him to safely fire a handgun, has shot and killed several animals while on safari.
The board took up Siedlecki's case as the result of a Chicago Sun-Times investigation of disability payments to police officers and firefighters in Chicago. Siedlecki, who now works as a lawyer and a funeral home director, was among officers cited in the "Disability Pays" series who are collecting disability checks while working other jobs.

Commerce Commission delays Chorus copper pricing D-Day
Phone companies and ISPs have been on tenterhooks waiting for a regulatory determination that will influence the price of everybody's home line, and broadband - but will have to wait a little longer.
The Commerce Commission is delaying its final decision on the price Chorus can charge for its copper lines to coincide with a draft decision on wholsale broadband pricing.
The decisions were initially planned for Friday November 23 and Friday November 30 November respectively. Both will now be announced on Monday December 3.
The Commission has decided to combine the announcements because the new price for the copper lines (unbundled copper local loop or UCLL - essentially, the wholesale price Chorus charges a phone company or ISP for a line) has a direct impact on the draft price for the unbundled bitstream access (UBA) or wholesale broadband service.
Why it's so important
In a draft copper line determination, the Commission has set the average wholesale price Chorus can charge at $19.75 a month – a $5 trim that caught many on the hop and enraged some Chorus investors.
Chorus has argued that lowering the price it can charge for a copper line would (as well as diminishing it revenue in our still copper-heavy world) hinder fibre uptake.
"This is possibly the single most important issue before the industry right now," Telecommunications Users Assocaition (Tuanz) head Paul Brislen said in a recent Q&A with NBR readers.
"Chorus argues that we should raise the price of copper lines so as to avoid the situation where customers decline to move to fibre because they've got it good in the Old World.
"I would argue the opposite - copper isn't a competitor to fibre, it's the 'gateway drug' that will lead users to fibre.
"At the moment I get about 12Mbit/s down and less than 1Mbit/s up. That's fine (the upload speed rips my shorts, but hey I can live with it).
"My kids are using more bandwidth every day - in the next five years I'd expect us to be connecting to the net at the same time as each other more often, and that'll mean my 12Mbit/s becomes our 12Mbit/s and that'll suck.
"I'm not getting fibre at least until 2015 (probably later I suspect) which means I'll want faster copper services in the short term. For that I need a competitive ISP market in the copper world and for that we need copper prices to continue trending down.
"We've really only had competition in New Zealand landline telcos since the introduction of unbundling. Before that we saw the same products and services being resold by all the wholesale customers - it was a resale market at best.
"Now we actually have competition, we have differentiation and we have a degree of dynamism. I want that to continue because it's these guys not Chorus who will provide us with the products and services that encourage us all to eventually move to fibre.
"I'll settle for 30Mbit/s down and 10Mbit/s up on copper next year and when fibre arrives I'll have a reason to move up. At the moment there's no reason."
Chorus [NZX:CNU] closed flat at $3.23.
Chorus says copper lines regulation threatens to derail fibre
Telecommunications network operator Chorus says copper lines regulation threatens to derail investment in building a national fibre network by undercutting the new technology.
Chief executive Mark Ratcliffe told shareholders in Wellington the decision to split Chorus out of Telecom as a standalone entity was on the idea that "fibre pricing was set so as to be attractive in comparison to the copper pricing" and that regulation could undermine that goal.
"Investors continually said they don't understand the rationale for pricing on copper-based services potentially being reduced at the same time that taxpayers are supporting a government-backed generational change to fibre," Ratcliffe says in speech notes published on the stock exchange.
"They are clear that reducing the price of copper services will inevitably slow the uptake of fibre."
Chorus was spun-out from Telecom as a separately-listed company last year to free up the telecommunications company from its regulatory burden and allow the network operator to successfully win a billion-dollar subsidy to build a nationwide fibre network and rural broadband system.
Some 80% of the network company's revenue is still derived from the ageing copper network and is subject to a pricing review by the Commerce Commission.
"It is crucial that any regulatory decisions reflect the generational investment that we are making and support an efficient industry transition," Mr Ratcliffe says.
"The commission's final UCLL (unbundled copper local loop) decision due late next month, followed by a draft decision on broadband access pricing shortly after, will be the clearest indications yet on whether fibre is indeed to be the industry's focus."
Chorus reported a profit of $102 million, or 26 cents per share, in the seven months ended June 30, on sales of $613 million in its maiden result as a standalone company.
Chairwoman Sue Sheldon told shareholders the looming regulation means the board has not been able to firm up guidance on dividend payments beyond the 25.5 cents per share return flagged for 2013.
"Because Chorus is a wholesale provider, there is nowhere for a revenue shortfall to be absorbed, if Commerce Commission price reviews mean that Chorus does not recover its costs," she says.
"Without the regulatory uncertainty, the board expects Chorus would have been able to announce a dividend policy consistent with modest long-term dividend growth, subject to the standard caveat of there being no material adverse change in circumstances or operating outlook."
Ms Sheldon says the board is considering a dividend reinvestment plan might apply from the 2013 dividend and beyond.
Chorus shares were unchanged at $3.36 in trading today and have gained 8.3% this year. The stock is rated an average "outperform" based on 10 analyst recommendations compiled by Reuters, with a media target price of $3.45.
Comments and questions7
What should be done is to mandate a fibre connection (at no cost to the home owner) when fibre has passed the property to enable quick uptake of services. This will quickly eliminate the copper network and reduce the duplication. This is being done in Aus.
What you propose is logical. The forums are full of reports of especially the youth market (usually renters) getting stupid quotes and contracts offered which no one in their right mind will take up. I dont expect any 'associate' of Telecom to actually make any good decision on near anything. They are followers not pioneers.
The problem is a legislative one: they will need to amend the regulations for Chorus and the other UFB networks to madate it. It will also improve network reliability. Actually, the biggest challenge will be to get UFB in apartments as all owners have to agree en-masse for installation into every apt in one hit.
We cannot have Chorus and Crown Fibre set up a regime that bumps up the price of copper in order to force customers to move to fibre.
Give customers a reason to move to fibre, don't drive them there with artifiically high pricing in copper and by destroying what competition there is in the broadband market today.
This is just a sop to a complete failure of due diligence. Chorus keeps bleating on about what it expectations and hopes were about how the market would develop. It seem to think it's outrageous that consumers should keep buying copper bb when it wants them all to switch to fibre. Well - bad luck. We'll siwtch when there is a case for it - we won't switch just to help you make your numbers and enrich a small set of investors.
Remember 25% of New Zealanders are outside the UFB area (including myself). Would they raise the price of copper for us knowing we cannot connect up to fibre?! I would sign up for fibre even if it costed a little more, out here copper lines are hopeless because of the huge distances. It's the rural places that actually "need" fibre.
