A Nebraska man has sued Walmart for allegedly causing his wife's death by overfilling her shopping bag. William Freis says the cashier put two 42-ounce cans of La Choy and a 2-pound bag of rice in a plastic bag, which ripped open as his wife, Lynette, was carrying it. A falling La Choy can made a cut in her toe, which the lawsuit says became infected and "ultimately resulted in her death" 11 months later. Freis says Walmart should have taught workers to double-bag.
Conservative commentator and writer S.E. Cupp really, really wanted to root for the Republican nominee. But "after … witnessing some real progress in our outreach to women in the ensuing years, I did not expect an egomaniacal arsonist to come along and set all that ablaze," she writes in a new op-ed for The New York Times, "The Lonely Life of a Republican Woman."
Cupp decries the fact that Donald Trump has taken her party "back to the Dark Ages — or at least the 1950s," claiming that it is increasingly difficult for women Republicans to justify remaining with the right, even when it might be in their best interest in the long run:
Democrats' lofty language about empowering women sounds great (and way better than Mr. Trump's), but President Obama's economy has done just the opposite. By many metrics, women (and men) are worse off. The poverty rate is higher than it was in 2007. Real median household income is down. More Americans are dependent on the government for assistance. Homeownership is down. Student debt has skyrocketed, along with the national debt. We now know that Obamacare is becoming unaffordable.
None of this is empowering, not for working women, mothers, small-business owners or students. Whether you're a veteran or a millennial, it's hard to argue that big government has solved your problems efficiently, if at all.
But before we can make that case to women, Republicans will have to earn the right to be heard at all. That will require emptying the party of Mr. Trump's enablers. Who knows how long that will take, but in the meantime, women would frankly have to have been lobotomized to believe anything the Republican Party tells them. [The New York Times]

Paleontologists have uncovered countless dinosaur bones, but what they have yet to find is a dinosaur brain — that is, until now. Researchers recently realized what they thought was a run-of-the-mill skull fossil actually may contain a chunk of fossilized dinosaur brain tissue. Scientists think the brain tissue came from a "large leaf-eating dinosaur, possibly from a species similar to the iguanodon," which roamed the Earth some 130 million years ago, Mashable reports.
The brain tissue, which looks like a nondescript brown rock at first glance, was found by an amateur fossil hunter in Sussex in 2004. Scientists believe the dinosaur's head fell into a swamp when it died, which prevented the brain tissue from decaying like soft tissue usually does. Instead, The Independent explained, the brain was essentially "pickled by the highly acidic and low-oxygen water."
Still, some scientists aren't convinced this is the real deal. Lawrence Witmer, a paleontologist from Ohio University, stressed that brain tissue is "one of the first things that decomposes after an animal dies." He told NPR he thinks what researchers have discovered is "part of the protective outer covering of the brain."
However, researchers insist they've spotted what appear to be blood vessels, which, Vox noted, is "the tell-tale sign this was indeed part of a brain." "They're incontrovertible, they can't be anything else," said Alexander Liu, a co-author of the research. "They have the right diameters, they branch in the right way, they're hollow, and they are in the right places." Becca Stanek
Apple on Thursday revealed its thinnest and lightest MacBook Pros ever, previewing two versions of the laptop computer at its October 2016 keynote. The smaller version will feature a 13-inch screen and weigh 3 pounds, while the larger version will measure 15 inches and weigh 4 pounds.
The machines will come with an updated keyboard with a "touch bar," which will feature a Retina display that responds to taps and adapts to whatever software is being used; if Safari is running, for example, the bar will display browser bookmarks and search and back buttons. Apple's voice control app, Siri, will also have a dedicated key. The computers ship with four Thunderbolt 3 ports that support USB-C, and any of the ports can double as a charging port.
"The Mac is more than a product to us," CEO Tim Cook said. "It's a testament to everything we do and everything that created Apple." The laptops start at $1,499 for a 13-inch and from $2,399 for a 15-inch. Pre-orders start today, with shipping beginning in two to three weeks. The Verge has all the specs and details on their live blog, which you can visit here. Jeva Lange
Twitter announced Thursday that it will be discontinuing the mobile app for Vine, its short-form video-sharing service that has existed since 2013. The announcement follows reports earlier Thursday that Twitter would be reducing its global workforce by 9 percent, even as the troubled company's third-quarter earnings exceeded analysts' expectations.
"Nothing is happening to the apps, website, or your Vines today," the company said in a statement posted to Medium. "We value you, your Vines, and are going to do this the right way. You'll be able to access and download your Vines. We'll be keeping the website online because we think it's important to still be able to watch all the incredible Vines that have been made. You will be notified before we make any changes to the app or website." Vine has over 200 million monthly users and 1.5 billion "loops." Jeva Lange
Donald Trump thinks he could teach the secretary of defense 'a couple things' about military strategy
In further evidence Donald Trump is a self-proclaimed expert on every topic under the sun, the GOP nominee offered Wednesday to give Defense Secretary Ash Carter some advice on how to best defend the nation. During an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, the host reminded Trump that Carter had said Trump doesn't "know a damn thing about military strategy." Trump's response? "I'll teach him a couple of things."
Trump then launched into an explanation of how the military offensive to retake the Iraqi city of Mosul from the Islamic State should've been handled. "I've been hearing about Mosul now for three months. 'We're going to attack, we're going to attack,'" Trump said. "Why do they have to talk about it?"
Instead, the businessman advised, the military should have prioritized secrecy. "Don't talk about it," Trump said. "Element of surprise. General George Patton."
Listen to the rest of Trump's advice to Carter, a former physicist and Harvard professor who has been working on national security issues since the '90s, below. Becca Stanek
Though first lady Michelle Obama has already stumped for Hillary Clinton many a time, the two women will appear on the same stage for the first time this campaign Thursday at a rally Thursday in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The Clinton campaign has already hailed Obama as its "not-so-secret weapon," and the speeches the first lady has made so far have been some of the most memorable of this election, dating back to her address at the summer's Democratic National Convention.
"She has exceeded our expectations in terms of how many events she has been able to do, willing to do. Her team keeps surprising us with additional availability and we can't, from our vantage point, we can't get her out there enough. She's been an absolute rock star," Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said earlier this week.
On Thursday, Obama will "get the drum beating on early voting," a Clinton spokesperson said. President Obama lost North Carolina in 2012; Clinton is an average of 5.4 points ahead in the four-way matchup, with just 12 days to go until Election Day. Donald Trump's campaign has also been active this week in the state, which, aside from the 2008 election, has historically voted Republican. Becca Stanek
Archaeologists and restorers working in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of Jerusalem have pulled back the marble cover on what is traditionally considered to be the tomb of Jesus Christ, National Geographic reports. By removing the covering, which is believed to have been placed on the tomb around 1555 A.D. or earlier, scientists have exposed the "burial bed," where Christ is believed to have been laid after being crucified in A.D. 30 or 33.
"The marble covering of the tomb has been pulled back, and we were surprised by the amount of fill material beneath it," Fredrik Hiebert, the archaeologist-in-residence at the National Geographic Society, said. "It will be a long scientific analysis, but we will finally be able to see the original rock surface on which, according to tradition, the body of Christ was laid."
Researchers plan to study the surface in order to better understand the original shape of the tomb. "The techniques we're using to document this unique monument will enable the world to study our findings as if they themselves were in the tomb of Christ," Chief Scientific Supervisor Professor Antonia Moropoulou said.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.-- Showers and thunderstorms are expected Friday night until 1 a.m., and some could produce heavy rainfall, according to the National Weather Service.
A flash flood watch is in effect for Staten Island and the rest of New York City until 6 a.m. Saturday morning, according to the service.
Rainfall is expected to be from a half to three-quarters of an inch, and a low of around 55 degrees is expected Friday night with some windy conditions that could gust up to 28 mph, the service said.
The rain comes of the heels of back-to-back days of thick fog that reduced visability across the borough.
The weather will clear up Saturday with sunny conditions and a high temperature of 73 degrees, and it will be partly cloudy Saturday night, according to AccuWeather.

ELLICOTT - Robert H. Jackson continues to receive some local love.
The Interstate 86 bridge in Ellicott was officially dedicated Thursday to the Frewsburg native and former U.S. Supreme Court Justice. In October, President Barack Obama signed legislation to name the new federal courthouse in Buffalo after Jackson.
Local and state officials gathered at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown for the dedication.

Local and state officials on Thursday dedicated the Interstate 86 bridge in Ellicott after Robert H. Jackson, the Frewsburg native and U.S. Supreme Court Justice. The new federal courthouse in Buffalo also now bears Jackson's name.

"It is important to celebrate historic figures from our communities," said state Sen. Cathy Young, R-Olean. "There is no better example of this than Jamestown's Robert H. Jackson."
Said Assemblyman Andy Goodell, R-Chautauqua County, "It is my hope that renaming this bridge in his honor will inspire us to follow the example of Justice Jackson to reach our utmost potential."
The idea to name the bridge, which crosses over Strunk Road in the town of Ellicott, came from Lee Harkness, executive director of the Downtown Jamestown Development Corporation. Sen. Young and Goodell pushed matching legislation through the state Legislature for the renaming; Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the bills into law in July.
"This is another great day for Jamestown," said Mayor Sam Teresi. "... This community has a rich past (and) only the future knows who will come out of the Jamestown area next."
Also present Thursday were County Executive Greg Edwards and James Johnson, president of the Robert H. Jackson Center - both of whom expressed gratitude toward Sen. Young and Goodell.
"This is great. It calls attention to us," Edwards said. "Thousands of people a day will be traveling along I-86 and be called to the people who made our past special."
Jackson, who held a private practice as an attorney in Jamestown and Buffalo, was the chief prosecutor of the Nazi war crime trials in Nuremberg following World War II. The eventual Supreme Court justice also served as Solicitor General and Attorney General, appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
A sign to officially rename the bridge the "Robert H. Jackson Memorial Bridge" is expected to be installed within the next three weeks, Young said.
"This bridge will serve as a reminder to future generations of Justice Jackson's role in our shared history," she said.

Mondraker Dune Bike - 2013 is no longer available at Merlin Cycles. However you may find an alternative or updated product below.
Mondraker Dune Bike - 2013
This item was discontinued 14th May 2014.
If you require help finding an alternative to this product please contact customer services.
Mondraker Dune Bike 2013
The entire Dune category is equipped with the new Fox 34 with 160 mm allowing us to save a bit of weight.
Dune literally reflects the Enduro concept.
Zero is the name of Mondraker's proprietary suspension system and is used on all of its full suspension bikes.
Zero power loss:
The system prevents any unwanted movements produced whilst pedalling resulting in
maximum efficiency without extra compression or extension of the rear suspension.
Zero pedal kickback:
Chain length growth throughout the suspension travel is insignificant
Avoiding any backward movement of the crank set that could lead to poor pedalling efficiency or cadence.
Zero brake jack:
Rear brake forces do not alter the suspension system.
The rear shock will absorb impacts without changing its function whilst using the rear brake.
Zero bumps:
The main characteristic of the system is its excellent absorption capacity at the same time as it provides high pedalling efficiency.
The optimized trajectory of the rear axle and the linear nature of the rear shock assure very effective impact absorption.
The Stealth Technology is the most advanced industrial design and structure optimization technology
used in the Mondraker range. Stealth encompasses all processes in the creation of the frame,
from the inspiration and creation of the industrial design to the calculation of
the most precise details that optimize each part for a specific function.
Stealth offers and innovative design, characterized by flat faces and sharp edges as opposed to the traditional curved or rounded shapes.
Each tube and part is carefully designed to carry out a specific function striving to achieve the lowest possible weight of every specific part of the frame.
Due to the optimization of the production process, selecting the best materials, using butted tubing technology and applying an alloy of different aluminium,
Mondraker's ultra light Stealth frames are extremely resistant with great stiffness, especially in the high stress areas of the frames where it suffers most.
Stealth technology is used in the Duel, Foxy, Dune, Summum and Dualen series.
Dune frame has an integrated IFD front derailleur system with an anchor rail instead of the classic brace which used to surround the seat post tube.
This system is developed and named by Shimano as Direct Mount.
Thanks to the new derailleur characteristics and the joint piece developed by Mondraker to get it fixed
to the frame we get stiffness and a precision grade more superior to the rest of derailleur in the market.

5 dating tips for women over 40
Dating tip 1: Get healthy.
Get toned and healthy; this will improve your self-confidence and overall health. When you look good you'll feel good!
Dating tip 2: Wear the right clothes
Though you may not want to try to dress like a 20-year-old, dress to accentuate the body parts you are most proud of. Wear clothing that is appropriate for your body type and that makes you feel wonderful.
Dress to kill…for confidence.
I get asked by so many women what to wear for both photos and a first dates, and here's what I tell them every time: It's better to show up in last year's clothes with this year's confidence, than last year's confidence and this year's clothes. (and when you feel confident it will also show in your online dating photos and attract more people)
Think about it.
Confidence and sex appeal is about owning who you are. Even if you have the most gorgeous Valentino dress, shoes by Jimmy Choo and half a million dollars' worth of jewelry by Tiffany's, if it doesn't feel right or it just isn't 'you' then it will never work, you'll be uncomfortable and ill at ease — and nothing kills a date faster. Find clothes that you feel confidence in you and you'll be a knockout. Smart, successful men want to spend their time with women who are relaxed, confident and at ease.
Dating tip 3: Learn to listen.
Pay attention to the small details and remember them. If you want to really impress him, bring up a small detail he mentioned on the last date.
Tip 4: Be discreet.
Don't talk about past relationships and their details. He may act like she wants to know, but he really doesn't want to know. Trust me on this one!
Dating tip 5: Relax.
The most important tip for women over 40 who are dating is simply to relax. Don't compare the way you look now with the way you used to look ten or twenty years ago. Today you're wiser and smarter and way less "needy" than many younger women, so enjoy yourself and shine.
Dating online? The most important thing you need to know…
Having a great dating profile photos is the single most important thing you can do when dating online, so visit LookBetterOnline and find out why more than 98% of our customers get better dates, and see how with great profile pictureswe can help make your online dating experience successful and more fun than you thought possible!

Hanover Hill and Gowanda Meadows Site Manager Susan Castle (right) received the 2012 New York State Rural Development Site Manager of the Year award from Multi-Family Housing Program Director for Rural Development Mike Bosak at a recent ceremony.
Castle is the site manager of the Hanover Hill and Gowanda Meadows apartments for Belmont Management Co. Inc.
The President of Belmont Management Bob Miller praised Castle for her work.
"Of all the site managers in New York (Sue) won the site manager of the year award. ... At Belmont Management we like to participate in this because in our minds site managers have a special place. ... They are the face of Belmont Management to the public, they work with local officials, visiting government officials and th public at large. They have a long list of tasks we ask them to do every month, in addition they serve as problem solvers for our residents, coordinators for our maintenance jobs ... they wear many hats," Miller said. "So when someone rises up and does an exceptional job they should be recognized ... What makes Sue special is she wears all these hats ... and she does it with a smile ... and she puts on a very positive face for her and Belmont Management."
Multi-Family Housing Program Director for Rural Development Mike Bosak also had good things to say as he presented Castle with her award.
"It is always interesting to look at the submittals because they are very telling. Belmont Management is a great company ... but like Bob said, the site manager is where the rubber meets the road. You are interacting with the tenants, who are our number one customer ... and that's what's important. Everything in (Sue's) submittal was positive, the residents love you. You make it feel like home and that is critical ... You are definitely deserving of this award," Bosak added.
One of Hanover Hill's residents affirmed the good things said about Castle.
"We are very lucky to have you as manager ... we just want you to know you're a good person, you're easy to talk to, if there is anything wrong, you are right on the ball and I think the world of you. I couldn't find a better place to move. I love it here. We just want you to know we appreciate all that you do," she said as she handed Castle a card from the residents of Hanover Hill.
Castle thanked her family but said the best part of the award is having her submission book back.
"The best part is I got my submission book back. It has all the letters the residents wrote. It's very humbling," she said.
Castle's submission book, which looked like a scrap book of photos and recommendation letters, was on display for all to look through. Those in attendance were able to eat, talk and congratulate Castle on her achievements.
Susan lives in Silver Creek with her husband Al and their three children Garrett, Alyssa and Jonathan.

If you didn't have diabetes before reading "Our families were always footsteps away throughout the hills" in the Sunday, Sept. 2 "Memories" column, you will afterwards.
Steven LoBaido's saccharine-sweet homage to the America of the 1960s through 1980s in the upper-middle-class Dongan Hills Colony immerses you so far under in American jingoism you may never come up for air!
The "never-ending" Italian food, the mushroom-, apple- and berry-picking, the "natural bubbling brooks" — oh, gag me with a spoon!
Would he be as patriotic if he grew up in the projects? How about if his relatives didn't own a farm and were "instruments of production" in some non-unionized factory, exploited by capitalist bosses?
Patriotism isn't painting flags all over town; patriotism is about making this country a better place to live.
How about striving for a more equitable graduated income tax? How about making CUNY a free university as it was up until the 1970s? How about free health care for everybody? How about the workers owning the means of production?
Next time Steven LoBaido writes one of these hawkish tributes, put on a warning label to take a shot of Insulin!

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — Keeping the kids entertained throughout the summer can get expensive and with gas prices as high as they are it may seem that your budget can't take any more family outings.
But there are many things a family of four can do in the summer that will not break the bank that cost under $50 for two adults and two children.
We've listed a few examples for you with their prices, but when checking for venues near you, remember to check your town government's homepage for discounts on local attractions, as well as coupon sites before your visit. You may be able to save even more. If there are seniors in your family, the savings will be even better and if you are an active member of the military or a veteran, also check for special rates.
Go to a museum
Choose a museum that appeals to your children's or family's interests and you will get something with a double value: Museums are fun and they're educational. The 150th anniversary of the Civil War makes it a great time to visit the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, Pa., for $32.Children's Museums are always a great value for the little ones and many have interactive exhibits that will keep the family entertained the entire day. The Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose, Calif., is one of the largest in the U.S. and it will cost a family of four just $40.
Have a child who will be studying the World Wars as part of their curriculum next year? The National World War I Museum and Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Mo., has the largest collection of WWI artifacts in the U.S. and for a family total of $36, visitors also get a trip to the top of the Liberty Memorial, where they can get a bird's-eye view of the city. That also leads us into our next fun family outing….

Big tub of Maggie Beer's Choc Orange ice cream. Always worth the guilt.
some gummy dinos with my kid on. . . saturday? last wednesday? Yeah, last wednesday. It was yogurt pick-up day.
I'm surprised nobody has said "my girlfriend" or something like that.
I made some of my mint chocolate brownies for my girlfriend last weekend and had to have one. They're a thin, chewy brownie with a layer of mint buttercreme on it, then topped with melted bittersweet chocolate. It was worth feeling like death for a little while.
organic popcorn (my daughter makes awesome popcorn, she puts the salt and butter in with the oil).
Half a bag of peanut butter chocolate chips, and a 3.5 oz bar of white chocolate.
Milk chocolate covered cashews. I was bonding with my family while holding vigil for my MIL who is in hospice. Wine and chocolate. I skipped the wine.
However, I'd break Primal again for some of those tamales!
Um...yesterday a slice of sourdough bread with cream cheese and homemade raspberry jelly, then at my parents a creme horn pastry and then a coke float made with Mexican coke and Trickling Springs vanilla ice cream for dessert.
A couple of dark, local IPAs. Had to wait a few hours before I could drive again.

Republican candidate Chris Christie met with The Star-Ledger Editorial Board today to discuss his run for governor.
Christie presented his plans to repair the state's economy, improve education, reform health care and revitalize the state's cities.
Christie also defended himself against criticism that he has failed to release details on how he will cut the state's budget.
"If you're waiting for me to lay out a balance sheet for you . . . I'm not going to be doing that," Christie said.
When asked about how independent candidate Chris Daggett is affecting his campaign, Christie was dismissive. He called Daggett's candidacy "an amusement."
"He's not going to be governor of New Jersey. We all know that. It's either going to be me or it's going to be Jon Corzine and I'm not worried about Chris Daggett in the least," Christie said.

Thank you Stillaguamish Tribe
For the past 91 years, the Snohomish County Chapter of the American Red Cross has been building on a legacy of neighbors helping neighbors. Thanks to the ongoing financial support received from a wide representation of county benefactors, the chapter continues to be a valued resource to the Snohomish County community in times of disaster. Latest to join our family of Red Cross major donors is the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians, based in Arlington.
Recently, Stillaguamish tribal leaders Eddie Goodridge, Jr. and Shawn Yanity presented the chapter with a gift designated for use in our disaster relief work throughout the county. We are grateful to the Tribe for its outreach and spirit of humanitarianism in helping Red Cross assist those Snohomish County residents whose lives are touched by disaster.
The Stillaguamish Tribes generous gift will provide direct financial assistance to families displaced by fire, flood or other natural or man-made disasters. Our disaster action teams are trained and ready to respond to house and apartment fires and other local emergencies 24/7, and typically are called out an average of every 2-3 days. When they respond to a family whose immediate needs include shelter, food and clothing, funds from this gift will help to meet those needs.
While our chapter continues to evolve to meet new challenges, the need to prepare for disasters will never change, nor will our feelings of gratitude for the support of all of our donors. We want to thank the Stillaguamish Tribe and all donors for making a difference in the lives of so many.
When you help Red Cross, you help Snohomish County.

The Fredonia State women's basketball team returns three of its five starters, including SUNYAC scoring champ Becky Hebert, heading into the 2012-2013 campaign. The Devils, 10-15 overall last year, will use that veteran presence to continue to climb up the SUNYAC standings.
Hebert and fellow junior Jaimie Warren form the foundation of the offense and give the team a solid one-two scoring punch.
Hebert's 20.5 ppg ranked 12th nationally in addition to tops in the SUNYAC. Hebert was Second Team All Conference and d3hoops.com First Team East Region. Her 472 points was the second-best season total in team history. Hebert's stat line also included 5.1 rebounds, 21 three pointers and a 78.1 free-throw percentage.

Fredonia State returns SUNYAC scoring champ Becky Hebert.
Warren added 12.0 points per game, ranking eighth in the conference. She was the Devils' top rebounder at 8.2 per game. She also converted 14 threes and shot 73 percent from the charity stripe. Add in seven double-doubles, and Warren put together an outstanding sophomore campaign.
Senior Jenna Austin is the third returning starter. Austin led the team with 23 three-pointers and grabbed 3.6 rebounds per game out of the guard spot.
All told, the Devils return seven players. Seniors Alex Casella and Anna Riley provide a veteran presence off the bench. The other senior, Grace Moore, returns after a one-year absence from studying abroad. As a sophomore, she averaged 6.9 points per contest.
New additions include a pair of Jamestown Community College transfers, Nikole Lindquist and Jillian Brunswick. The duo had previously teamed up at Pine Valley High School. Lindquist averaged 11.7 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, including 26 three pointers. Brunswick pitched in 8.0 ppg as a sophomore.
Three freshmen have been added to the roster - guard is Brittany LaForce and forwards Sabrina Macauley and Katie Devine.
The Devils will need to replace the duo of all SUNYAC point guard Nicole Calbi (10.5 ppg, 5 apg) and forward Liz Wierbinski (7.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg).
Head coach Donna Wise looks to team speed and quickness to be a strength this year. "We will be scrappy on defense and have more scoring threats than last year," said the Blue Devil boss.
The Devils tip off the season 7 p.m. today vs. Nazareth at Steele Hall.

Please note that the positions mentioned in this post have since been filled.
We currently have two fantastic positions to fill:
Two things to pay attention to:
The word multi platform: Indeed, we are looking for people who are comfortable with print (you know, paper), the web (you know, that thingy we go on to facebook), and TV (we don't produce any, we just help those who do). We want to work with people who get it on on paper AND print, to help us come up with the best ideas, the best concepts, and the best way to bridge all these mediums.
The "s" in "Accounts" : Toast is not the kind of place where we lock ourselves up in our room and focus on one lone project for 6 months at a time. Ooh no! Here, each week, you will have to juggle (not literally and not too much) with several projects at once. The volume of work means you should be busy, but happy, all the while juggling—not literally, of course.
So there it is. If you are interested in one of these positions, or know someone who is, give us a shout! As for your résumé, the best place to drop it is riiiight here: email@example.com (photo via Flickr)

The U.S. Department of Education on Thursday declared Oregon at "high risk" of failing to evaluate teachers based partly on student test scores, triggering intense federal scrutiny of Oregon's progress over the next nine months.
To escape some No Child Left Behind requirements, state leaders promised federal officials last year that, by this summer, Oregon would have a plan to evaluate teachers and principals using standardized test scores as a significant factor.
But officials at the Oregon Department of Education decided they needed another year to figure out the best approach. The Obama administration said Thursday that Oregon can have until May 1 -- but absolutely no further extensions.
If Oregon can't pass muster by then, the state will have to resume following the federal No Child Left Behind law, triggering sanctions for almost every Oregon school that receives federal funding. Those 600 schools, which include 60 percent of the state's elementary and middle schools, would be put on a federal needs-improvement list and have to offer students a priority transfer and free transportation to a school not on the improvement list.
Oregon schools chief Rob Saxton said he's confident that won't happen.
Oregon is far enough along in planning its new approach, he said, that it could have submitted a plan this spring. He and others in Oregon, however, want to come up with a more refined method after more testing and analysis, and federal officials agreed to grant more time.
"We think the product we are going to end up with is going to be very high quality," Saxton said.
He acknowledged that Oregon missed its summer 2013 delivery date but said he takes issue with the "high risk" label and will ask federal officials to rescind it.
"If they do, great. If not, that's OK too. I don't like anybody saying anything I do is high-risk, but OK, we'll tell you why we think it's not high-risk and you can call it what you want."
Because Oregon didn't meet its deadline, it will be required to submit monthly progress reports to the U.S. Department of Education and will be subject to greater scrutiny.
Washington and Kansas also were declared "high risk" states Thursday and will face the same level of increased oversight. They, too, were cited for problems with their plans to evaluate teachers using standardized test scores.
The decision on the three states was signed by Assistant U.S. Secretary of Education Deborah Delisle. The rationale and consequences were explained by a deputy at the department who demanded anonymity in exchange for providing the information.
Teachers unions, including Oregon's, have done their best to quash or tame plans to judge teachers in part by how much progress their students make on state tests. They say test score gains are an inaccurate way to gauge a teacher's effectiveness, in part because which students a teacher is assigned can strongly influence how much scores improve.
Researchers agree that, even when measurements account for students' backgrounds and circumstances, many teachers' ratings bounce around from year to year. Basing the ratings on multiple years' results can help mitigate that, some researchers say.
The Obama administration, through U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, has insisted that teachers who teach reading or math in a grade in which state tests are administered be judged using test score gains as a "significant factor."
So far, 40 states have secured waivers from parts of the No Child Left Behind law by agreeing to judge principals and teachers that way.
A small group of Oregon districts already rate teachers based in part on test score gains and pay rewards to those who earn top ratings. But those districts use schoolwide gains, not the scores of each teacher's own students. Each teacher's performance during classroom observations also counts toward his or her rating.
The 2011 Oregon Legislature passed a law, known as Senate Bill 290, that requires teachers to be evaluated in an entirely new way, beginning this school year. Huge committees of educators have worked to fine-tune plans, and more than a dozen districts piloted variations on SB 290 evaluations.
In every district this year, teachers will be observed many times and will be rated on a four-point scale, from not acceptable to proficient, on a host of techniques that research has shown effective teachers use.
Teachers also will have to set goals for improving their students' achievement as measured in a way the teacher and principal agree to, including on tests. But during this school year, the student achievement gains won't count toward the teacher's overall rating.
Saxton's appeal for Oregon to be cleared from the "high risk" label is due to the U.S. Department of Education by Aug. 28.

Ralph McDaniels, creator and longtime host of the pioneering music video program Video Music Box, spoke at length with weekly online radio talk show The NY Hip Hop Report about the progression of his illustrious career, current projects and the upcoming kickoff to a year's worth of special events lined up to celebrate the show's 30th anniversary.
McDaniels shared details and personal stories of his early days at WNYC, recalling as his career carried him from intern to show host, first at VMB pre-cursor Studio 31 Dance Party and then on to the now-iconic Video Music Box, which brought music video television to the New York City masses, particularly videos by black artists and the newly emerging rap scene which at the time was completely underserved.
"I was in college, and interning [at public television station WNYC] as a behind the scenes dude, pulling cables… Grunt work, whatever I could do, for free.. A 'go-get-some-coffee-type-dude'," McDaniels recalled, laughing. After being hired as an engineer, McDaniels started to see opportunity to create a show. Music videos were still primarily performance videos, but McDaniels saw the potential.
"Studio 31 Dance Party was basically my idea of taking these performance videos, putting them together and airing them." It lasted for about a year, and despite Ralph's insistence, the station still wasn't sold on the idea of a consistent music video show, until ABC came out with New York Hot Tracks, hosted by WKTU on-air personaliy Carlos DeJesus.
"This is exactly what I was talking about," McDaniels remembered. "I needed that to show them, so I made a copy, showed them and they were like, 'You're right. This would work. Can you do this?' and I said 'Yeah, this is what I've been telling you. I've been trying to do this for a year and a half.' Finally, they said 'Well, what's the name of the show?' I said 'Video Music Box.'" And in May 1983, anchored by the now-hauntingly-familiar thumping beat of Whodini's "5 Minutes of Funk" in the intro, Video Music Box was born.
It soon became the highest-rated show on the station and continues to air new episodes, 30 years later.
The man affectionately known by a generation of hip hop fans as "Uncle Ralph" went on to share several anecdotes about the excitement surrounding the young days of hip hop on television. During the 40-minute long interview, he reminded listeners how Video Music Box served as launching pad for countless hip hop artists, both by broadcasting videos, as well as though videos he and partner Lionel "Vid Kid" Martin directed for iconic hip hop luminaries such as Nas ("It Ain't Hard To Tell"), Wu-Tang Clan ("C.R.E.A.M."), Black Moon ("Who Got The Props"), Supa Cat ("Ghetto Red Hot") and many others.
Show host Manny Faces, editor-in-chief of New York-focused hip hop publication Birthplace Magazine, asked McDaniels about his attempt to bring the successful Video Music Box concept to MTV. Despite McDaniels' popularity with hip hop artists (Nas, for instance, insisted that it be McDaniels who put together his press kit), and the success of Video Music Box on a regional level, MTV wasn't ready.
"Yeah, we approached them in 1986," he said, "And they said, 'Mainstream TV's not ready for hip hop. I said, 'Did you ever go to the Fresh Fest? You play Run-DMC! ALL kids are wearing Run-DMC gear and listening to the music." His pitch fell on deaf ears, yet once again, McDaniels was ahead of his time, as it was only a year before the network saw the light, and brought YO! MTV Raps to the nation.
Though you could still sense wisps of nostalgic frustration in Uncle Ralph's calm baritone voice, he made it clear he held no grudge, and in fact, focused on the silver lining to the circumstances.
"People were like, 'Yo, what do you think? Is that your competition?' I said, 'No, now the music can go further.' If I or The Vid Kid did a video, it automatically got played across the country. That made our work get seen by people in other areas we didn't reach."
McDaniels sprinkled several historic anecdotes throughout his interview (2 Live Crew's Luke gave Video Music Box and in fact, the New York audience, credit for blowing up), spoke on meeting iconic artists for the first time (On Big Pun: "We had him in our talent show on 125th. As soon as you saw him, you knew, this dude was NICE.") and spoke at length about the many upcoming events planned for both the 30 year anniversary of Video Music Box and the 40th anniversary of hip hop, also occurring in 2013.
"The whole concept for the year is 'bridging the gap' between the 'true school' and the 'new school,' to bring knowledge to both schools," McDaniels explained. "I feel like the true school forgot that they were 18 or 20 years old at one time, and [today's] 18 year old sometimes doesn't respect the older artist that has been around, for whatever reason. So I think it's an opportunity now with the 30th anniversary to bring both of those generations together. That's why we have [people like] Joey Bada$$ and Afrika Bambaataa on the same panel to discuss these concepts and ideas."
Other events in the works include a concert highlighting female hip hoppers, both upcoming as well as pioneers and a possible Central Park concert, similar to one that was held to commemorate Video Music Box's 25th anniversary. McDaniels also hinted at an end-of-the-year show at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Listeners were also the first to hear that this year's annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival, which McDaniels hosts regularly, will be dedicated solely to the legacy of Video Music Box's 30 year history.
Perhaps most exciting for fans of archival goodies that have been leaked in the past, McDaniels mentioned his plans to finish a book and DVD project that he's "been trying to get out forever," and to release additional documentary footage, much of it previously unseen. "Some stuff you've seen, and a lot you haven't," he promised. "I was really digging in the video crates and pulled out some stuff I know isn't out there on YouTube."
In all, the lengthy, informative and entertaining interview painted a fascinating picture, as McDaniels spoke in a captivating manner about his career, current projects and future aspirations.
It was also clear throughout that Ralph McDaniels has no intention on hanging up the fabled VMB microphone any time soon.
"I wouldn't think that I would still be doing this thirty years later," he stated. "But every time I think, 'Ah, that's enough,' I still think there's a lot of work to do, a lot more information that needs to get out, not just the music side, but in general, for the community."
It is for that continued respectful dedication to documenting hip hop music and culture, we think we can speak for the community when we say invoke the classic New York City hip hop salutation and say, "We'd like to give a shoutout… To Uncle Ralph."

MOBILE, Alabama -- International Shipholding Corp. in Mobile said Monday it has purchased a vessel equipped to ship cars, trucks and construction machinery in a deal valued at $27.5 million.
In a press release, the company said it had paid $3.5 million in cash for a 1999-built pure car truck carrier and sold its 1994-built PCTC, Green Cove, to the seller.
The newly purchased PCTC will be reflagged under the U.S. flag and renamed Green Cove.
"We are pleased to have enhanced our fleet with a modern, higher specification PCTC, which will provide us with expanded capability and flexibility in the transportation of cargoes," Erik Johnsen, president of International Shipholding, said in a statement. "This transaction further demonstrates management's ability to both realize value and increase the commercial potential of its fleet for the benefit of its shareholders."
International Shipholding said it currently owns and operates seven PCTCs.
The publicly-traded company employs about 155 people and owns and operates a fleet including time charters, where customers pay a daily rate for the use of an entire ship, and vessels where customers lease cargo space on a voyage-by-voyage basis.
Earlier this month, the company announced an agreement to acquire Tampa, Fla.-based U.S. United Ocean Services LLC in a $111 million deal.

I have been struggling with oversupply for 8 weeks now. I feel that finally it may be under control. My baby has had stools ranging from yellow/seedy to green/moucosy. I am block feeding in 8 hour blocks and my babies stools are still green and moucosy and today I saw spots of blood in it. I don't feel my supply is as out of control anymore and to stay on one breast for 8 hours seems excessive for my baby to still have green stools. BUT, yesterday I noticed that he may have had a bit of eczema on his cheek and he has always been prone to hives/rashes since he was born. He does seem to have a stuffy nose on and off especially after nursing. Does anyone think this could be some type of food intolerance in my diet? Or is it just the oversupply/foremilk/hindmilk imbalance. This is getting so frustrating!!!
Thanks in advance!

FLORENCE, Alabama - The GED test will become harder to pass in 2014 after it is redesigned by the new owner of the testing firm, The Times Daily reported.
The GED will undergo the biggest redesign in 69 years now that Pearson Vue Testing, a for-profit company, bought GED Testing Services, a non-profit group that administers the high school diploma equivalency test, the paper reported.
The new test to be rolled out in January 2014 will be tougher to pass, and will be taken on computer instead of with pencil and paper, The Times Daily reported.
"Ultimately, it will be harder to obtain a GED diploma once these changes go into effect," Donnie Sweeney, director of the Northwest-Shoals Community College Adult Education Program, told the newspaper. "I don't see that computer-based is better because some people today that take the test don't have those typing skills."
Sweeney said anyone considering obtaining a GED needs to enroll now before the changes go into effect.

NEWAYGO COUNTY, MI -- A 13-year-old girl died after a two-car crash Sunday in Ensley Township, the Greenville Daily News reports.
The paper identified the victim as Dayzi Georgiades, an eighth-grade student at Central Montcalm Middle School
Central Montcalm Public School Superintendent Kristi Teall on Monday evening confirmed that an eighth-grader at the school had died, but would not confirm the student's identity.
State police could not be reached Monday night.
Early investigation of the crash shows that a vehicle traveling west on 120th Street around 4:30 p.m. Jan. 6 lost control. The vehicle crossed into the oncoming lane and struck an eastbound vehicle.
All three occupants in the eastbound vehicle were transported to Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital. One person was in critical condition on Sunday, while the other two were stable, police said.
The single occupant in the first vehicle was also transported to Butterworth and is in stable condition, police said.
All of those involved in the crash wore seat belts. Alcohol and drugs were not factors in the crash, police said.

The Friends of Thirteen, alongside the Macaulay New Media Lab at Macaulay Honors College, CUNY, presented a community screening of the Independent Lens film Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines. The film, directed by Kristy Guevara-Flanagan, and aired recently on THIRTEEN, examines the portrayal of women in comics and pop culture through history, questioning the lack of women as heroes in the center of their own journey, and explains how young girls need to see larger-than-life fictional characters (like Wonder Woman) in order to foster desire for high achievement in the future.
The evening began with introductions from Dr. Ann Kirschner, University Dean of Macaulay Honors College; and WNET President & CEO Neal Shapiro. Neal Shapiro welcomed Macaulay to a fresh perspective on public television: "When you think of public media, you think opera, ballet – but we also look at pop culture," he said. "A year from now, you won't remember which Housewife was the meanest. But you will remember what you're about to see."
CUNY students and community members enjoyed a free screening of the film, followed by a discussion panel moderated by Portfolio TV co-host, So-Chung Shinn. Panelists were Karen Boykin-Towns, Vice President of Worldwide Policy, Pfizer and Friends of Thirteen Board Member; Susana Polo, Founding Managing Editor of The Mary Sue; Shelby Knox, Feminist and Director of Women's Rights Organizing at Change.org; and Dr. Jonathan Gray, comic book scholar and Assistant Professor of English at John Jay College, CUNY.
Macaulay New Media Lab students worked closely with WNET staff to operate cameras that streamed the panel discussion live to THIRTEEN's audiences through the station's livestream page. If you didn't tune in last night, you can watch the discussion any time here. The audience was also able to join the discussion on Twitter using #WWomen13.

Reality TV show judge wont curl up and dye
But Michael Carl knows the hairdos and donts on Bravos new Shear Genius.
Michael Carl had a glamorous New York Monday.
He picked up Versace gowns for the Metropolitan Museums Costume Institute Ball; supervised a fitting for actress Paula Patton that involved two racks of designer dresses (they went with an Alberta Ferretti); wrote a fashion bulletin; and put together looks for an upcoming photo shoot.
The fashion director for Allure Magazine regularly flies to Paris and Milan for shows and recently finished a short stint in L.A. as a judge on Shear Genius, the latest in Bravo TVs run of best-and-bitchiest reality contest shows, this one about hair design hopefuls.
Carl went from the island to la grande ville a couple of years after his 1993 graduation from Bainbridge High.
While he planned to pursue hotel and restaurant management, a New York summer vacation immersed him in the quintessential young persons experience of the city. He was hooked.
I just fell in love with New York and decided there was no other place I could ever live, he said.
Within three months of camping out in a friends three-story brownstone and getting a cashier job at Ralph Lauren, Carl was one of the top three on the sales floor.
His insiders view and fashion eye eventually got him into magazine work at Jane, Nylon, Interview and finally, his current position at Allure.
And now, he feels like a true New Yorker.
By his own account, Carl had a clean-cut high school experience on Bainbridge. In a town that periodically scrutinizes its teen-related pain points, Carl said he didnt have much trouble making his own fun.
He hung out at friends houses, went to the movies old movies feature prominently in some of his Bravo TV blog entries and played a lot of bingo.
Carl and a friend regularly headed across the bridge to the Clearwater Casinos modest predecessor, where theyd sit with all the ladies and play 9 or 10 cards at a time.
While the regulars didnt take kindly to two upstarts horning in on their action, they warmed eventually.
It was hysterical, Carl said. We could sit there for hours. I never won the entire time.
Many a guru has made sport of Northwest fashion. Some say it reached an apex with Vogue Magazines December 1992 Grunge and Glory spread and from there, had nowhere to go but down. Others say that in fact, that spread encapsulated the areas fashion nadir and that things stayed pretty flat, and pretty plaid, after that.
Either way, Carl, despite his urban edge, puts forth a low-key and possibly even Northwestern philosophy on fashion, which is that its all about what makes us feel good.
The most important thing to do, he said, is dress in the way that makes you feel comfortable and natural.
He added, I really love the way women dress on Bainbridge.
In high school, Carl observed a down-to-earth integrity among his Bainbridge peers that he said remains today. Birkenstocks, jeans and pony tails were the norm, and he thought the girls carried off their bohemian sensibility beautifully.
The cutest girls certainly werent wearing heels, he said. Girls on Bainbridge make it their own.
Carl filmed Allure-sponsored Shear Genius over a few weeks this past winter, joining host and ex-Charlies Angel Jaclyn Smith and fellow judges Sally Hershberger and Rene Fris to separate wheat from chaff.
Over-the-top challenges included creating a trademark Hershberger shag, designing a period hairstyle and making hair art on a budget of bits and pieces culled from the aisles of Michaels craft supply store.
But as is the case with Bravos other reality contests, Project Runway and Top Chef among them, viewers dont tune in to learn from the contestants expertise.
What compels them to watch what happens, in Bravo-speak, are the insecure bravado, bad behavior and resulting icky tension surrounding every challenge.
Carl insists he was shielded from the shenanigans during filming and that hes only now seeing the show as the rest of America or at least, Bravos core demographic is.
As a judge, I didnt have any idea of the drama that was going on, he said. Personality played absolutely no part. I was really judging the hair.
Carl describes Shear Genius as a fun, punchy interlude in what he expects to be a long career in fashion. Hes starting to get an inkling of life down road after fashion, which could indeed involve a hotel in a laid-back locale.
In the meantime, hes happy making periodic family visits to Bainbridge Go Spartans and doing the New York thing.
Im just having a great time doing my job, he said. Im 32 years old and fashion director at Allure Magazine. Im really proud of that and happy with that.
Hair apparent

New Year's Day 2013 NFL Mock Draft
1. Kansas City Chiefs – Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
The Pinstripe Bowl has everyone reeling on Geno's viability as No. 1. I can't vary from this one. Just think it's a must for the Chiefs to find identify their QB from this draft and stick with it. I think this one comes down to Geno Smith and Mike Glennon with Geno getting the nod. As much as I like the idea of taking Joeckel, drafting a QB in the second, and picking up a veteran I can't see it happening.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars – Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
This is the only pick in the top five that I feel pretty confident about. The Jags need to find a dynamite pass rusher early in the draft. They don't get much better than Werner. He can stop the run and get after the QB which is much needed for Jacksonville.
3. Oakland Raiders – Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
Terrelle Pryor played decent for the Raiders in the season finale. Possibly good enough to develop him under Carson for another year. I have been a proponent of the Raiders taking a QB in the first round but I'm wavering with all the needs on defense. Sheldon Richardson is a dynamic athlete that can change the game from his DT spot. The Raiders will move on from Richard Seymour and Tommy Kelly, leaving them with little quality on the interior of their defensive line. Trust me on this one, Richardson will rise as we get closer to the draft.
4. Philadelphia Eagles – Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
The Eagles need to focus on strengthening their offensive line. With Jason Peters back next year, the Joeckel selection allows them to move Todd Heremans inside and gives them a strong offensive line. This is the best option given Nick Foles lack of escapability and a promising running game.
5. Detroit Lions – Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
I can't see the Lions re-signing Cliff Avril unless he comes on the cheap. KVB has seen his better days and the lack of a pass rush has really hurt this defense. Moore is a little undersized but plays bigger against the run that one would expect from a DE his size. He's a relentless pass rusher that instantly makes this defense better at pressuring the QB.
6. Cleveland Browns – Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
Sheldon Brown is no longer a viable starting CB in the league. He's lost a step (or three) and the Browns defense needs to find a running mate with Joe Haden. Milliner is a big, physical corner with the movement skills to give the Browns two of the best, young corners in the league. The Browns are absolutely broke at LB and could use an upgrade at that position. If Jarvis Jones' neck checks out, he could be a solid option at No. 6.
7. Arizona Cardinals – Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas
The Cardinals can't afford to stifle this team with Kevin Kolb, John Skelton, or Ryan Lindley. They have to find a franchise signal caller and taking a shot on Wilson at No. 7 is a must.
8. Buffalo Bills – Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
The Bills will be looking for a QB early in the draft but can't afford to miss with a new HC in place. They will look to start off a new coach on the right foot with a solid defense. The Bills roster isn't as bad as their record would indicate. Putting Jarvis Jones on this defensive roster makes it more than formidable and adds a pass rusher not named Mario Williams
9. New York Jets – Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
The Jets desperately need a QB but I can't see them taking a shot on Matt Barkley or Mike Glennon at No. 9. If they elect to go with a veteran they need to add some weapons on offense. Patterson may run sloppy routes and lack the experience of a Keenan Allen but he's got an opportunity to be special. Guys that are 6'3″ and 205 pounds shouldn't move with the ease that Patterson does with. I think Patterson rises quickly up draft boards the closer we get to April.
10. Tennessee Titans – Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
There are some bigger needs for the Titans but finding a stud DT at No. 10 is not a bad option. The defense really struggled to stop the run as they lack a big body in the middle. Lotulelei gives them a run stuffing DT that can push the pocket.
11. San Diego Chargers – Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
The Chargers offensive line is atrocious. That's putting it nicely. I think the Chargers need to find at least two starters on the OL if they want to be competitive in the near future. Phillip Rivers has played poorly but needs some help from his OL and running game. Adding a talent like Matthews in round one should have Rivers jumping for joy on draft day.
12. Miami Dolphins – Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
This pick has to be a pass rusher or pass catcher. Jordan offers so much upside opposite Cam Wake. He also gives this defense the versatility to play multiple fronts as he can stand up and drop into coverage as well.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
Banks is a bit of a reach for me at this point but the DB spot is a must early in this draft. Banks has the size and speed to be a solid corner in the league. He lacks the physicality to be a top flight corner but I can't see the Bucs passing on a corner unless they fall in love with a prospect that falls into their laps.
14. Carolina Panthers – Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
Carolina finished the season out on a high note and could have saved Ron Rivera's job. That said, they have nothing in the middle of their defense. Hankins has top five potential but wore down late in games and throughout the season. This pick could wind up a steal if Hankins commits himself to being great in the league.
15. New Orleans Saints – Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame
Clearly DE or DT is a bigger need for the Saints but they need quality leaders on this defense and Te'o fits the bill. Vilma was the heart and soul of this defense during the glory years and Te'o could be the guy to take them back to playoff contenders in 2013.
16. St. Louis Rams – Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Fisher has carried a high grade on my board for a long time and he showed well in CMU's bowl game. Not that he needed to but it certainly helped solidify his standing as the top senior tackle in the draft and a worthy top 20 pick.

Xye Elliott testified Tuesday that she initially thought Armani Carson fired the two bullets that struck her during a September 2012 drive-by shooting in the Uptown section of Harrisburg.
But on second thought, she's now sure that Carson wasn't the gunman, the 18-year-old told a Dauphin County jury.
Carson wasn't sitting in the right spot in the car to have fired the shots that hit her in the right leg, Elliott said. She said she's now certain that another man who was wearing a black hoodie and was sitting in the back seat of a burgundy Toyota shot her during the incident in the 500 block of Woodbine Street.
Elliott was the latest of several prosecution witnesses to recant an identification of Carson, 19, as the shooter during his trial on attempted murder and other charges.
Elliott testified that she was shot in the right ankle and grazed on the right thigh by bullets fired from the passing car as she sat on a porch.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Michael Rozman is contending that Carson shot Elliott unintentionally while trying to shoot his ex-girlfriend, Ashlee Manning. Carson and Manning had a heated argument about their 7-month-old daughter just before the shooting.
Assistant Public Defender Mary Klatt is countering that Carson couldn't be the shooter because he was in the front passenger seat of the car and the gunman had to be sitting in the back behind the driver.
Under Rozman's questioning, Elliott said there is much she can't remember. She said she can't recall repeatedly telling others, including police, that Carson was the one who shot her.
She admitted to telling Detective Rodney Shoeman during an interview in the hospital that Carson was the gunman, and that she signed a photograph of Carson and wrote on it, "This is who shot me."
However, Elliott said that as she thought more about the incident, she changed her mind. The gunman had to have been in the car's back seat, she said.
When Rozman asked who told her where Carson was sitting in the car, Elliott said she couldn't remember.
Questioned by Klatt, Elliott said she was heavily medicated for pain when Shoeman visited her in the hospital.
"You weren't in any condition to be giving a statement?" Klatt asked.
"Right," Elliott replied.
Conrad's trial will resume Wednesday in President Judge Todd A. Hoover's courtroom.

It may have taken baseball teams a while to get on to the diamond this spring.
But when Manchester finally got to start its season Thursday, it made its opener count.
The Flying Dutch went into extra innings with Addison, with both teams scoring seven runs through the first seven innings.
Addison was able to tack on three runs in the top of the eighth to take a strong lead with a half-inning left.
But the Panthers went on to commit four errors in the bottom of that inning, and Manchester came all the way back and won the game on a walk-off sacrifice fly by Michael Golding in a 12-11 win.
"We capitalized on their errors," Manchester coach Corey Fether, also the school's girls varsity basketball coach, said. "We had two practices outside this week, so it's great to be outside, and we're just happy to get that one out of the way -- even if it was a little sloppy."
Ryan Stiles went 3-for-3 including a double for Manchester (1-0), while John Beuerle had a double and a single. Dillon Novak also had two hits.

Most of the galaxies that have been observed from the early days of the universe were young and actively forming stars. Now, an international team of astronomers have discovered galaxies that were already mature and massive in the early days. Fifteen mature galaxies were found at a record-breaking average distance of 12 billion light years, when the universe was just 1.6 billion years old. Their existence at such an early time raises new questions about what forced them to grow up so quickly.

An overlooked gem of Washington's Interstate 5 corridor is Sedro-Woolley in Skagit County. The friendly town is just far enough east of the freeway (five miles) that most drivers blast right on by, except for those headed to North Cascades National Park.
S.R. 20, the North Cascades Highway, passes through town, but it misses Sedro-Woolley's historic downtown. I got to spend six hours knocking around town recently while my vehicle's fuel pump was being replaced. I didn't know that you could still have car repairs done at a gas station, but it's still possible in small towns.
During my time in Sedro, I scoped out the many chainsaw carvings that line the downtown streets. I saw an eagle, a mariner, a totem, a bear, a salmon, a man and child playing, a bench, a gold miner, another bear, a logger, more bears, another eagle and an otter. My head was ringing from the imagined noise of the chainsaws that carved them.
If you hadn't guessed it, Sedro is home to the annual Wood Fest the first weekend each April. It also hosts the Logger Rodeo in the days leading up to the Fourth of July (at 74, it's the state's oldest Independence Day celebration). The town also has a long railroading history.
