"Thank you! And, I'd like to add that we were so pleased with the program. Your crew is extremely organized, friendly, and helpful. I would definitely recommend this camp to everyone interested. Thank you for a fabulous week. This was a very memorable experience for my son."
"Just wanted to let you know that Will has been at camp now for three days and is having a FANTASTIC time. The guys that are there are all kind, fun, and helpful. He is learning and having fun. Thank you for helping me get into the camp. He is already asking to come back next year."
"This was Evan's second year at Red Sox camp, and this year was even better than last (minus meeting a player, of course). Thanks to everyone who helps this camp run so smoothly...drop off, pick up and everything in between seems to be well orchestrated. Evan wishes he could go next week as well! Special thanks to his coach Jeff, who we heard lots of good things about. We will be back next year for more. For a kid who loves everything baseball, Red Sox camp is the best."
"I just wanted to write to thank you for helping Dylan get this week at Red Sox camp. He has been excited all summer and I spoke to his mother yesterday and she said that he leaves their apartment every morning excited to go and comes home from camp in a great mood (which isn't always the case!). So THANK YOU for all your help in making this happen!"
"I would like to say how fantastic my children's experience has been this week at Red Sox Camp at Fessenden. They are having a wonderful time, they are learning alot and gaining so much confidence in their abilities. My son Jack is playing summer baseball, and when he played this week, he was so much more focused and into the game. His throwing has really improved and his hitting is better too. I also think as a parent that this is one of the best planned and run camps I have ever seen. Every detail is taken care of, and the staff is great!!! It truly is the experience of a lifetime for these kids!!!!! A+++ to everyone!!"
"The way we were greeted every time we arrived at camp, with counselors waving all the way up the driveway to the Rashi School, and the way that they opened the car door, greeted Simon enthusiastically, and helped him out was also just a very nice touch. The photo from Fenway, arriving in real time, was also a really great thing. I immediately forwarded it to the relatives. I am sure it takes a major effort to take those photos and send them out in real time. I have nothing of a constructive nature to offer at all. It was just a great experience "around the horn." I regret that I did not sign him up sooner so we could have gotten the week at Fessenden (this week), which is literally half a mile away, but that is on my end, not yours. So please pass along our thanks to the entire team. We will surely see you next year."
"I just wanted to tell you what an incredible time Abe and Simon had at Red Sox camp last week.
For both of them, this was a first time playing baseball in any kind of organized way, and I worried that they might feel out of place or unable to keep up with more experienced campers. The boys came home each day tired and happy--and looking forward to returning to camp the next day, which is all that I could have asked for. There was a great balance of practice and game playing and both boys felt like a part of the team. And I think they both learned important skills for being a good player and also what it takes to be part of a team. And from registration to drop off each morning, staff was welcoming, professional and friendly. In every way, the experience exceeded my expectations."
"I just want to say how impressed we have been with this week's camp. We have 8 & 5 year olds and they have had the time of their lives... Each day they've been excited to get ready in their official Red Sox uniform and have been totally entertained by the organized activities and structured baseball coaching. Both boys came home excited to tell us what they've been doing during the day and were frequently mentioning the coaches and how 'cool' they are! It was the first camp we've done since we moved to America (from England) so we were a little apprehensive and nervous as to what to expect. From the first moment we arrived you could see how well organized the event is and we felt at ease leaving the boys in capable hands knowing they were going to be having a fun day! A massive well done to the coaching team - you do a great job... Many thanks..."
"Dear Coaches, Organizers and Staff of Red Sox Camps, we want to express our deepest appreciation and congratulations for the outstanding opportunity our son Andrés experienced at Red Sox Camp in Dedham July 15 - 19. He mentioned several times how fun and respectful all the coaches and staff were to all the campers, which really underlines the values development over technical skills that is so important in the formation of young athletes. Andrés felt very comfortable among all of you and his fellow campers alike. I felt the same comfort with the few staff I met and spoke with briefly; you all had an energetic and professional attitude."
"As we pulled in to the camp drop-off area this morning, my son recognized some of the same counselors from last summer and became excited. When I stopped the car and one came over to help him unload, the counselor commented that he remembered my son from last summer and welcomed him back. It certainly made the morning better that there was this mutual recognition and appreciation. When I returned in the afternoon to pick him up, my son had stories of how Andy (his same counselor from last summer) had challenged him to catch, dive and retrieve difficult balls but he had managed to snag them all. Whether it was all true or not, the color and enthusiasm with which he told the story made me happy as did the tell tale grass stains, corroborating his story, on his pants."
"Over the past two years I have become friends with some of the people that run the Red Sox Baseball Camp at the Fay School during the Summer. The camp and the people are amazing and my son has learned so much from attending. And not only baseball skills but life skills that help shape our children at a young age. Many of the moms that have sent their kids there agree that during the week they are in camp, they are better kids...the eat better, the listen better, they are nicer! We often ask if the staff can contact the kids all year long to remind them of these great behaviors!!"
- Stephanie Szewczyk
"I wanted to thank you for a wonderful week at camp, Matthew had a fantastic time!!! He was literally in tears before bed tonight when he realized he was not going back on Monday. I was so impressed with every aspect of the camp and felt very comfortable dropping him off each day. Your staff was so engaging and responsible. It was run perfectly. I will be in touch for certain for August 8th-12th when you are back at Belmont Hill. Thank you again!"
- Jennifer Flaherty
"WOW!!!! My children are absolutely loving their camp this week. I would like to thank both the Director and all the staff at the camp for their kindness to our family. We are driving in over 2 hours each way to come to camp each day and they went above and beyond. My friend is racing to pick them up and was stuck in the fun traffic of Boston, they were smiling and laughing when she finally arrived and just made my kids feel great! I have been amazed with each and every person's positive and fun attitude each day and so happy that my children get to spend the week with such great influences. Thank you, thank you!"
- Anonymous
"What a great experience it's been to see him so eager and read each morning, then arriving to the extremely well-organized and enthusiastic staffers as they welcome, encourage, and teach these children, and from what I see always in a refreshingly upbeat way. I hope Matthew can return next year, and that he'll bring along a cousin or two. Thank you Red Sox Camps!"
- Anonymous
"When we pull up in the morning, Zac points out the kids and/or coaches he might know. He gets out of the car psyched up for the activities. At pick up the coaches are still smiling and greet the parents/guardians with a huge welcome. It's refreshing! Then around the corner comes Zac beaming from his day
Such a cool feeling for parents! As a recruiter for a large corporation, I seek talent that also possesses a great personality and these coaches are really great. I'd be happy to see their resumes come across my desk in the future! Thank you to everyone (administrators, leaders and coaches) who have made this week so enjoyable for our family! You are organized, fun and a group that deserves a huge high five. We'll be back next year and can't wait. Go Sox!!!"
- Gretchen Carrolla
"Personally, I think the camp is a well oiled machine. I thought the staff (Brian, Sarah, Lauren and Alex especially) were friendly, encouraging and hardworking. I never had a single issue with communication throughout the entire week. Brian will be back - he had a megawatt smile everyday and woke up every morning talking about how much he loved camp and went to bed excited for the next day. His only complaint on Friday when I picked him up - he didn't want to leave! So please beam with pride- your program is fantastic. Thank you for providing such a positive environment for my son and his friends."
- Kerri McKinnon
"THANK YOU for the best week of the summer according to my 7 year old son! He loved every minute and you all made him feel such a part of this amazing team experience. He gained such confidence and was SO happy all the way through the week. I will be recommending this camp to all our friends and you'll see Charlie again next year!"
- Anonymous
"Thanks again for another great year! I have to tell you, the guys who greet us in the morning at Fay from the Red Sox Camps are just awesome. They are so nice and literally had me laughing every day. I will look forward to sending both my boys next year! You guys do a fantastic job across the board!"
- Christine Rossi
"I am simply emailing to tell you what a wonderful time my son had at camp this week. The camp was well organized, the coaches were friendly, helpful and respectful and the smile on my son's face this whole week was priceless! I appreciate the effort and thought put into this camp. It was a fantastic experience for John. Thank you"

"My 6 year old son just finished up a week of Red Sox Camp at the Fay School in Southborough. My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with the experiences that he had during the past week - from meeting Wally the Green Monster, the great new baseball games he learned from his coaches, the trip into Fenway, meeting Jacoby Ellsbury, being named "Team Captain" for a day, to the smaller details like the energetic greeting that he got each morning at drop off ("Are you ready to rock, Peter?"). This past week was truly one of the best weeks of his life and also a special week for our entire family. We have ordered tickets and are looking forward to the camp reunion at Fenway in August. We are already planning ahead for next summer's camp experience! Excellent job Red Sox Camp, congratulations on a job well done!"
- Heather Smith
"This is the first time I have ever sent my son to any kind of summer camp and I could not have chosen a better one! His experience gets better by the day! The camp is run so efficiently with such a great staff we can't wait for our younger son and our nephews to go next year! It has been such an ego boost for his baseball skills, he comes home every night and makes us run him through the drills. We also love that you apply the behavior to the field and the home, Nik asks me every night how he can be a better "home captain." To top it off, he got to meet the man after whom he named his Hermit Crab - Jacoby Ellsbury. Thank you!"
- Karen Solomon
"My five year old son was overjoyed by his week at Red Sox camp. It truly was a magical experience for him and we hope to do it every summer. My husband and I were very impressed with the professionalism and courteousness of the coaches. If the camp was closer to our home we would have sent him for more than one week. Our commute was over 2 hours to the camp each day but was worth every minute. Additionally we feel it was a great value for the special experience (and extras!) that he received. We highly recommend this experience!"
- Amy Dowd
"We traveled from Atlanta to attend this camp, and I couldn't have made a better choice for my 8-yr old. From the time we arrived, the staff knew him by name and made him feel special. As an avid Red Sox fan, the trip to Fenway and interaction with Wally and the player made this camp a real treat. He actually celebrated his birthday at camp as well! The instruction was great, fun and not overly competitive. He can't wait to return next summer."
- Cicley Gay
"Overall I thought it was an amazing camp for a kid who loves baseball and the Boston Red Sox. We traveled from Connecticut for this camp. To see Bob come home every night from camp excited about the day he had and the events of the next day was wonderful."
- Melissa Holland
"My son Jesse had a wonderful time at camp this week and is begging me to sign him up for another week! I wanted to let you know how impressed we were with how organized the camp was. Whenever I asked a coach a question or to remind Jesse of something, they made sure it happened each time. There are not many camps around that take the time and effort to help parents feel comfortable in the way that you have. Jesse has been telling our entire family and neighborhood about how he was able to go onto the field and "jump against the Green Monster" and how Wally tried to steal his lunch! I can't tell you how special a memory this will be for him for many years to come - thank you for making this "magic" happen!"
- Audrey Hedoquest
"I just wanted to say how much my son enjoyed this past week at your Red Sox camp at Belmont Hill School! Your camp was extremely well organized and the instructors and staff were all very friendly and helpful. We have been to many camps in the area but never to one this well organized and exciting each day. Also, I wanted to thank you for allowing his him to be on the same team as his friend Sean. Sean is moving out of town in a few weeks and it meant a great deal for the boys to spend time together at camp. The photo of them, standing side by side at Fenway, is one that he'll always treasure. I'm so glad that my friend told me about your camp, hopefully, you'll be seeing Tyler again soon!"

#1 Remains of 12 S. Korean Soldiers Return Home from N. Korea

The remains of 12 South Korean soldiers killed during the Korean War have returned home after 62 years.
The homecoming of the remains on Friday is significant since they were excavated in North Korea and are the first South Korean soldiers who died in the Norths region during the war to enter the South.
The remains were unearthed between 2000 and 2004 when U.S. forces conducted excavation work in North Korea. The remains were transported to the U.S. before their return to South Korea.
The government and the Defense Ministry held a ceremony at the Seoul Air Base to mark the return of the soldiers, who will be temporarily interned at Seoul National Cemetery.
The government has so far unearthed the remains of some 66-hundred soldiers who were killed in battle in the Souths region during the Korean War.

LEISURAMA tells the story behind the sophisticated and creatively marketed housing communities built during the late 1950s and early '60s in Montauk, NY and Lauderhill, Fla. Dubbed "Leisurama," these new homes sold for as little as $12,995 and arrived completely furnished and stocked with every imaginable modern amenity.

Today's featured car is this 2011 Hyundai Genesis, which is equipped with very nice LED Headlights. We all know that with the Genesis, Hyundai started to take a swoopy, sleek new design direction that's been developed in an even more pronounced way in other models, but here we have a small modification, that gives the vehicle crystal clear elegant look.
In order to achieve this awesome appearance, the OEM halogen bulbs on the high beam were replaced with the more advanced 18-SMD 3 Chips 360-degree shine H7 Hyper-Flux LED bulbs. These bad boys transformed the stock yellowish halogen lights into a beautiful and exact 6000K Ultra White HID matching look without paying the HID price. Don't you like that new sleek look? Don't you think your car deserves some pampering, too?
Let's take a closer look at the pros of using LED bulbs for LED Headlights or LED Daytime Lights. Since LED technology is way more innovative and power efficient than regular halogen bulbs, driving with LED Daytime Lights on, measurably decreases fuel consumption. And that's not everything – the highly effective signal light increases the vehicle's visibility to oncoming traffic during the day, which means it also contributes to the safety improvement.
So, this equipment is perfect for both daytime and night time use and could be installed on any vehicle in no time, as it is plug and play. Please note that for some vehicles like Audi, BMW, etc., which have on board computer (OBC), you might need to add Error Free Decoder Wiring Kit in order to avoid the error message showing up on dashboard. Besides that, these H7 LED bulbs are great add-on to any vehicle, and this 2011 Hyundai Genesis doesn't need the decoder kit. No decoders are required for Hyundai Sonata, too.
If you really like the LED Headlights of this 2011 Hyundai Genesis, then you just can't go wrong with purchasing a pair of these wonderful and super bright H7 LED bulbs. Since everyone can afford this quality iJDMTOY product, you are one step closer to give your car a fresh new look.
Red Tag Sale for New and existing iJDMTOY customers can save up to 50% OFF. Deal expires soon! Don't miss it!

Suspect wanted in robbery
Police are searching for a suspect that allegedly stole money from a convenience store while purchasing an item.
At 5:42 a.m. Wednesday, a while male attempted to buy a drink and biscuit from the Little Market Basket, on N.C. 16 North in Conover. The man didn't have enough money to purchase the drink and biscuit, so he put one item back and gave the clerk money for the other.
The clerk said when the cash register opened to complete the sale, the man stuck his hand in the register and grabbed $36 from the drawer, according to an incident report.
Catawba County Sheriff Coy Reid said the cashier tried to close the register on the man's hand several times, but he got the money and ran outside.
There was one customer in the store at the time of the incident. No injuries were reported.
The sheriff's office has made no arrests in the case. Investigators are looking for a while male at about 5'7 to 5'9 in height. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a dark-gray hood sweatshirt and dark-colored jeans.
Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's office at (828) 464-5241.

Robins remain on course for play-off spot
Cheltenham maintained their play-off ambitions with a comfortable 4-1 home victory over Accrington.
Right-back Keith Lowe's first goal of the season put the Robins on course in the 12th minute, heading in after Alan Bennett flicked on Russ Penn's cross from the right.
Ben Burgess headed home Lowe's cross in the 56th minute for the first goal of his loan spell from Notts County.
Stanley goalkeeper Lee Nicholls kept the score down with a string of saves, including one fine reaction stop from Marlon Pack.
But the stopper should have done better with Pack's free-kick in the 62nd minute, which evaded his dive and nestled in the bottom corner.
Bennett missed from close range after Steve Elliott nodded a cross into the six-yard box as Cheltenham pushed for a fourth.
Accrington pulled one back in the 76th minute when Will Hatfield crossed for Bobby Grant to touch in from almost on the line, but it was comfortable for Cheltenham and Kaid Mohamed made it 4-1 in the first minute of stoppage time.

WASHINGTON -- Around the country on Election Day 2012 with AP reporters bringing the latest developments to you:
Polls are starting to close on the East Coast. The AP has called Kentucky (and its eight electoral votes) for Republican Mitt Romney, and Vermont (three electoral votes) for President Barack Obama.
"I learned a big civics lesson today." -- Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity, who tweeted a picture of his filled-out ballot (for Mitt Romney, natch), only to learn that appeared to break the law in New York state.
-- David Bauder -- http://twitter.com/dbauder
There are people who believe in voting, and then there's Elisa Kennedy.
The National Association of Secretaries of State honored California's longest-serving poll worker with a medal Tuesday for her years of service -- 75 of them, to be exact.
Kennedy, 96, born before women got the vote, began volunteering as a poll worker in San Francisco shortly after she reached eligible voting age. FDR was president -- and it was his first term.
"A lot has changed in politics and in the world since Elisa first volunteered as a poll worker 75 years ago, but her commitment to democracy and her devotion to her community has remained constant," Secretary of State Debra Bowen said in a statement.
Kennedy, who has worked nearly 120 elections, said it's the "wonderful people" who keep her coming back.
"I find it very rewarding, in that I've met so many people through the years and it's been a great satisfaction to me," she said in a statement.

It's the economy, stupid.
Preliminary results from a national exit poll for The Associated Press and the television networks show that 60 percent of the 18,237 voters surveyed by Edison Research said the economy was the biggest issue facing the country.
That's about the same percentage as the last general election four years ago.
Next were health care (18 percent of those surveyed) and the deficit (15 percent).
A measly 4 percent said foreign policy was the top issue.
Of those surveyed, 77 percent of voters called the economy not so good or poor.
The biggest economic concerns were unemployment and rising prices.
Most voters -- about 6 in 10 -- said taxes should be increased.
-- Frederic J. Frommer -- Twitter http://twitter.com/ffrommer
Unlike many kids who get Election Day off from school, the president's daughters, Malia and Sasha, weren't so lucky. They were flying to Chicago after classes with their grandmother.
The president's sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, and her family were also joining the Obamas in Chicago.
The first family planned to eat dinner together at their Chicago home.
-- Julie Pace -- Twitter http://twitter.com/jpaceDC
Lines in Iowa, with its six electoral votes, weren't too bad at polling stations Tuesday -- in part because up to 45 percent of the state's voters cast ballots early.
About 670,000 people had voted in Iowa by Monday night, according to Chad Olsen, a spokesman for Secretary of State Matt Schultz.
It's the sort of thing happening all around the country, though not necessarily in such high numbers.
Based on Monday's projections from George Mason University, 46.8 million Americans -- more than one-third of those expected to cast ballots -- would have voted by the time the first polls opened Tuesday morning.
One intriguing U.S. House race in Iowa is in the 4th Congressional District, where Republican Rep. Steve King has cruised in every race since he was first elected in 2002. The 63-year-old King acknowledged this year's challenge from Democrat Christie Vilsack has been difficult. Vilsack is married to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, who was Iowa's governor for eight years.
-- David Pitt -- Twitter http://twitter.com/DavePitt
Paul Ryan, his voice hoarse from days of breakneck campaigning, called in to Sean Hannity's radio show to urge anyone who hasn't yet voted to get to the polls.
"What I always tell people is, it's not over till it's over," he said.
Ryan told the conservative talk show host that good signs abound for him and Mitt Romney, from high turnout in Virginia to the thousands of supporters who turned up at rallies in the final days.
"We know people are going to look at long lines and they might think, `Oh gee that's just too long.' Don't let that happen," Ryan said. "The future of your country is at stake."
Ryan was in Virginia, where he had just wrapped up a visit to a victory center in Richmond. From there, the vice presidential nominee was heading to Boston to meet up with Romney for the election night festivities.

An update from the president's basketball game: Former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen was one of the players, and Obama snagged him for his own team.
Also on Obama and Pippen's team was Alexi Giannoulias, a former Illinois state treasurer and 2010 Democratic U.S. Senate nominee.
"It was a lot of fun," Giannoulias said. "We won. I scored more points than Scottie Pippen, which was my dream come true."
On the other team were childhood friends Mike Ramos and Marty Nesbitt, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, a former captain of Harvard's basketball team.
The two five-player teams played four 12-minute quarters, and referees were brought in to call fouls.
Giannoulias said Obama's team won by "like 20," with a score of "like 102, 105, 108 or so to 80-something."
The basketball game is an Election Day tradition for Obama. In 2008, Obama played basketball with aides before winning the kickoff Iowa caucuses. They decided to make the games an Election Day tradition after he lost the next contest, the New Hampshire primary, on a day when they didn't hit the court.

They're sticklers about stickers in Nebraska's Dakota County.
The Sioux City Journal says the county has a stash of "I Voted" stickers on hand -- but Clerk Ted Piepho says the stickers aren't usable because they're not bilingual.
According to Piepho, a federal mandate requires all election items in Nebraska must be offered in English and Spanish. He says the budget didn't have room this year to buy a batch of bilingual stickers.
Raise a glass, Indiana voters!
A state law barring alcohol sales before the close of polls on Election Day has been lifted, so there's no longer any need to wait to celebrate if you think your preferred candidates won -- or drown your sorrows if you're worried about defeat.
The first polls close in parts of Indiana at 6 p.m. EST.
The state legislature passed a law in March 2010 that repealed a ban on selling alcohol while polls are open. That ban had been on the books for years, according to John Livengood, president of associations representing Indiana's restaurants, hotels and liquor stores.
Only two states -- Kentucky and South Carolina -- still bar the sale of alcohol on Election Day.
-- Howard Fendrich -- Twitter http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich
This just in from AP's Steve Peoples, in the air with Mitt Romney headed from Pittsburgh to Boston:
Speaking to reporters aboard his campaign plane on his last flight on the campaign, Romney said he just finished writing his victory speech on the flight from Pittsburgh to Boston.
"It's about 1,118 words. I'm sure it'll change before I'm finished because I haven't passed it around to my family and friends and advisors to get their reaction. But I've only written one speech at this point."
He said he had no regrets: "I feel like we put it all on the field. We left nothing in the locker room. We fought to the very end and I think that's why we'll be successful."
He also talked about his parents. "I think about my dad from time to time. And my mom. I sure wish they were around to be part of this," he said. "I hope they're able to watch in their own way."
-- Steve Peoples -- Twitter http://twitter.com/sppeoples
Actress Kate Walsh is a self-described "one-percenter" now, but in a personal video posted on her website, she says she grew up with government assistance.
Walsh speaks directly to the camera in the 6 1/2 -minute video she calls "My Story: Why I'm voting for Barack Obama." The 45-year-old actress explains that her father was an Irish immigrant and her family relied on food stamps when she was growing up. As a young woman, she amassed more than $30,000 in student-loan debt before quitting college to pursue acting. With no health insurance, Planned Parenthood provided her annual check-ups.
"It wasn't until I was 36 years old and I got on `Grey's Anatomy' that I could finally pay back my student loans once and for all," she says. "And now, today, having been on television for a number of years, I am one of those one-percenters. And I'm not looking for a tax break or a tax cut. I just want to know how my taxes are going to be spent. And I want them to go back into the programs that will help the rest of America, the 47 percent, that, for me, are the foundation and the bedrock of this country. Because that's where I came from. That's who my people are."
She says she made the video "to explain a little bit about where I came from and why I'm doing what I'm doing" to support Obama and encourage people to vote.

To prepare for Election Night, Romney staffers are walking across the stage at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, holding hands and waving to the cameras. At one point, a male and a female staffer held hands and hugged briefly. Then the man strode to the podium and waved to the bank of cameras.
The checks show staffers and TV crews how the shot will look when Romney strides in to make his speech late on Tuesday evening.

Stop us if anything in here sounds familiar.
Election. Burglary. Political party office.
Police detectives are investigating an overnight burglary at the Seattle headquarters of the Washington state Democratic Party. Someone arriving for work found a broken window and open door and got police involved at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday.
It's not yet known what might have been taken -- and police spokesman Mark Jamieson says there's no immediate indication of a political motivation.
He calls it a burglary in a building that happens to house campaign folks.

One more thing to add to the list of potential nightmare scenarios if the presidential election is extremely close: Provisional ballots that aren't counted for days or weeks.
Voters cast provisional ballots for a variety of reasons, including failing to bring ID to the polls, not updating voter registration after moving or trying to vote at the wrong precinct.
A federal election law passed after the 2000 presidential election gives voters the option to cast a provisional ballot, if poll workers deny them a regular one. In Ohio and Pennsylvania, voters who don't bring an ID to the polls can still have their votes counted if they produce an ID after Election Day. In Ohio, provisional voters have up to 10 days post-election to produce an ID.
If voters in Florida don't bring an ID to the polls, they must sign a provisional ballot envelope. Canvassing boards then will try to match the signatures with those in voter registration records, a process that conjures up images of the 2000 presidential election in Florida.
"It's a possibility of a complete meltdown for the election," said Daniel Smith, a political scientist at the University of Florida.

After landing this afternoon at Pittsburgh International Airport, Mitt Romney walked from his plane to a fence on the edge of the runway. What he saw: a huge crowd gathered in a nearby parking garage to watch his arrival.
"That's when you know you're going to win," Romney said after waving to the roaring crowd.

Michael Oreskes, a veteran political journalist since the 1970s and now The Associated Press' senior managing editor for U.S. news, will be checking in briefly with Election Watch throughout the day. Here is his first report:
Once, admittedly a long time ago, campaigning for president on any day -- let alone Election Day -- was considered undignified. Candidates were limited to campaigning from their front porches.
That was then. Now we are seeing scenes America has never experienced before as part of its greatest unifying event, Election Day.
There was the president of the United States, on hold, waiting for a supporter in Wisconsin to come back on the line so he could make a final plea for turnout. Obama was visiting a campaign office near his home in Chicago.
That scene was nothing compared to what was playing out in Ohio. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan were hopscotching the ultimate battleground state in a last ditch appeal. And Ryan had a shadow: Vice President Joe Biden somehow flew in too, in a last-ditch effort to mess up the Republicans' final message.
So much for campaigning from the front porch.
-- Michael Oreskes
Paul Ryan has a backup plan.
In addition to being Republican Mitt Romney's running mate, the Wisconsin congressman is seeking re-election to the U.S. House. Ryan has held his 1st District seat in southeast Wisconsin since 1998.
State law allowed Ryan to run for VP and Congress at the same time.
It's been an uphill climb for his challengers for the House, Democratic businessman Rob Zerban and Libertarian Keith Deschler. Zerban tried for weeks -- unsuccessfully -- to get Ryan to debate him.
And what if Ryan wins twice Tuesday?
He would have to resign from Congress and a special election would be held to fill the House seat.

Edgartown on the island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts
The Mayhews were an old colonial family in Massachusetts, and they produced a prodigious amount of ministers. Several Reverend Mayhews served on the island of Martha's Vineyard, and Experience Mayhew was a missionary who put the Wampanoag language into writing and produced religious books in their own language. Reverend Mayhew was beloved by the Praying Indians on Martha's Vineyard. When he was just 22 years old, in 1642, he was the first to minister to the native people in New England. In 1652 he opened a school to teach the Indians to read.
My sister was married on Martha's Vineyard, and has lived in Tisbury for twenty years. At her wedding to a local fisherman in the village church in Tisbury she lamented that she would always be an outsider, not an "islander". When I told her that she was descended of seven generations of Mayhew islanders, including the Reverend who founded the very church where she had her wedding I think I made her very happy! Since then I have discovered hundreds of island names for our family tree!
My Mayhew genealogy:
Generation 1: Matthew Mayhew, born about 1550, died about 1614, married on 2 October in Tisbury, Wiltshire, England to Alice Barter, daughter of Edward Barter and his wife, Edith. Matthew was the son of Thomas Mayhew and Alice Waterman.
Generation 2: Governor Thomas Mayhew, born about 1593 and died 25 March 1682 in Tisbury, on the island of Martha's Vineyard; married first about 1620 in England to Abigail Parkhurst; married second about 1634 in England to Jane Gallion. I am descended of two children, by Abigail (Thomas (see below) and Hannah who married Thomas Daggett/Doggett).
Generation 3: Reverend Thomas Mayhew born about 1620 in England, died about November 1657 at sea on a voyage to England; married to Jane Unknown. Six children. I am descended of two children, John (see below) and Jedediah Mayhew who married Benjamin Smith.
Generation 4: Reverend John Mayhew, born about 1652 in Edgartown on the island of Martha's Vineyard, died on 2 February 1689 in Chilmark, on the island of Martha's Vineyard; married in 1672 at Tisbury to Elizabeth Hilliard, born 22 January 1654 in Hampton, New Hampshire, died 1746 in Chilmark, daughter of Emmanuel Hilliard and Elizabeth Parkhurst. Five children.
Generation 5: John Mayhew, born 1676 in Chilmark, died 3 March 1736 in Chilmark; married on 27 November 1700 in Chilmark to Mehitable Higgins, daughter of Owen Higgins and Seaborn Tew. Seven children.
Generation 6: John Mayhew, born 1701 died on 16 January 1790; married on 29 October 1730 in Falmouth, Massachusetts to Ruth Davis, born 5 July 1705 in Falmouth, died 16 Jan 1790 in Chilmark, daughter of Benjamin Davis and Mary Robinson (a descendant of Reverend John Robinson of the Pilgrims). Five children.
Generation 7: Mary Mayhew, born 22 May 1734 on Martha's Vineyard, died in Nova Scotia; married Caleb Rand, born 10 January 1730 in Charlestown, Massachusetts, died 25 September 1776 in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia, son of Caleb Rand and Katherine Kettell. Eleven Children.

The Owen County High School boy's golf team began the 2012 campaign last week.
The team was on the course July 30 at Sugar Bay where they took on Walton-Verona High School. The match was a good early season test against the team that captured the NCKC and All 'A" championships a year ago.
The Bearcats would get the better of the Rebels on this day as they won the match by 10 strokes.
Zach Ripy led Owen County with a nine-hole total of 40 while Cole Hamilton fired a 42.

Karen Hooks, of Dover, pled guilty to abusing her son's corpse and lying to investigators about his whereabouts in Delaware Superior Court at the Kent County Courthouse Friday morning.
Karen Hooks, of Dover, pled guilty to abusing her 2-year-old son's corpse, lying to police twice as they investigated her son's whereabouts and for collecting state benefits for her dead son under false pretenses during a hearing held Friday morning at Kent County Courthouse in Dover.
A bailiff led Hooks into Courtroom No. 5 on the second floor of the courthouse wearing an orange, state Department of Corrections jump suit with her hair braided back and her wrists and ankles in shackles. There, she and her appointed public defender, Paul Swierzbinski, faced Superior Court of Delaware Judge James T. Vaughn in the matter of the State of Delaware vs. Karen Hooks.
Deputy Attorney General and Chief Kent County Prosecutor Kenneth Haltom and co-lead counsel Jason Cohee told Vaughn that Hooks faced a maximum of seven years in prison, and he asked Vaughn to order Hooks to pay $4,500 in restitution to the state after she collected state aid for her son despite his death.
The abuse of a corpse was a misdemeanor while the other three charges were felonies, Cohee said.
Hooks was then sworn in on the Holy Bible and faced Vaughn.
"You understand your guilt for all four offenses?" he said.
"Yes, sir," Hooks said.
"You understand this could result in seven years in prison?" Vaughn said.
"Yes, sir," Hooks said.
Vaughn asked a few more questions before he was satisfied that Hooks had pled guilty in sound mind and with no coercion.
He then set her sentencing for Jan. 15, 2013 in Superior Court.
Haltom then asked that Hooks continue to be held at the Delaware Department of Corrections in lieu of $100,00 bond. He also asked for a pre-sentence investigation, which would give Vaughn the ability to learn more about Hooks' character, not to mention receive letters from people writing on her behalf.
Swierzbinski did not dispute the bond.
Haltom also pointed out that the investigation into the death of Hooks' son as a possible murder was still ongoing.
"Further charges could be pending," he said.
"We understand that," Swierzbinski said.
After court proceedings, Haltom was asked about the belief that Hooks had been pregnant prior to her 2-year-old's son disappearance. He said that was part of the ongoing investigation but could not say anything on the record beyond that.
The Delaware State Police Homicide Unit arrested Hooks, of Squire Circle in Royal Grant Development, this past summer, Master Cpl. Gary E. Fournier said. Detectives began their investigation into a missing child complaint on July 9 after receiving information from the Delaware Division of Family Services that a pregnant woman was no longer pregnant and her 2-year-old child was missing.
On July 13, Hooks told investigators that her son, Justice, was in the care of a female friend in Smyrna, Fournier had said. She also denied the fact that she was ever pregnant.
Detectives determined that Hooks' story did not add up and, out of concern for Justice, obtained a search warrant on July 25 for the house on Squire Circle, Fournier said. During the search, a suspiciously wrapped package was located in a storage area shared by Hooks and another female roommate, he said.
The contents appeared to be human remains and were removed by officials from the Delaware Office of the Medical Examiner and transported to Georgetown for examination. A post-mortem was performed and it was determined that the remains were of a male child.
Hooks was arrested and taken back to Troop 3 where she was arraigned at Delaware Justice of the Peace No. 2 on the charge of Abusing a Corpse. She was committed to Delores J. Baylor Women's Correctional Institution in lieu of bail and has been held since.

Each week, Weekend Edition Sunday host Rachel Martin brings listeners an unexpected side of the news by talking with someone personally affected by the stories making headlines.
As immigration legislation moves through Congress, there are still major obstacles to any kind of compromise. It's a tense waiting game for those in the country illegally — even for those who supposedly have a leg up in the process because they have married a U.S. citizen.
Pediatric nurse Caly Muniz Castro works at a respiratory clinic for children. Her husband, Jones Muniz Castro, is in Brazil, hoping to receive legal status in the U.S. Caly shares her story with Rachel Martin, host of Weekend Edition Sunday.
"We've been married about a year and a couple of weeks," Caly says. "Unfortunately, we just spent our one-year anniversary very far apart from each other. He's in Brazil and I'm here in Minnesota."
Join Our Sunday Conversation
Do you think it should be easier for illegal immigrants to become U.S. citizens? Tell us on Weekend Edition's Facebook page or in the comment section below.
When it comes to America's immigration system, there's a lot of waiting involved; waiting for Congress to hammer out a deal to reform a system almost everyone agrees is broken. The illegal immigrants here in the U.S. living in the shadows waiting to get caught, hoping they won't. And those who've been sent back to their home countries, where they wait for word on whether they'll be allowed to return to the U.S. as legal residents.
The Senate has passed an immigration reform bill and Members of the House are meeting to discuss the issue this week. But there are still major obstacles to any kind of compromise, mainly the so-called pathway to citizenship that would allow illegal immigrants to apply for legal status after 10 years. It can be a long waiting game, even for those illegal immigrants who've married U.S. citizens and supposedly have a leg up in the process.
CALY MUNIZ CASTRO: My name is Caly Muniz Castro and I am a pediatric nurse. I work at a respiratory clinic for children. And I'm married to Jones Muniz Castro. We've been married about a year, in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, we just spent our one-year anniversary very far apart from each other. He's in Brazil and I'm here in Minnesota - Minneapolis, Minnesota.
MARTIN: Caly Muniz Castro is our Sunday Conversation. Her husband, Jones, is an illegal immigrant and is currently stranded in Brazil, hoping to get legal residence status in the U.S. She spoke to us from outside Minneapolis. And I started by asking her what first brought her husband to the U.S. in the first place.
CASTRO: His brother, who he was very close to, was killed in a motorcycle accident. And his family was very concerned for him at the time. He was becoming quite reckless with his own life - suicidal. Once they found out that his uncle was going to come here, they really wanted him to go with to just sort of get a change of atmosphere, to hopefully, you know, kind of kick him out of that rut and basically to save his life.
MARTIN: But he did come to the United States illegally.
CASTRO: Yes, he did. They came here through a network of coyotes, which is people that bring people over illegally. They all flew together to Mexico. Once they were in Mexico they drove up to close to the border, and then they spent the next few days walking through Mexican soil into American soil. And then, another coyote met with them on the other side and brought them further into the States.
MARTIN: How did he make a living when he got to the United States?
CASTRO: His uncle has some connections with some people here to start working doing siding on housing. And so, that is what he has done in various locations over the years.
MARTIN: So how did you meet?
CASTRO: We salsa dance, Latin dance, and we met through mutual friends and we just got to talking. And, you know...
CASTRO: ...went from there.
MARTIN: And what attracted you to Jones?
CASTRO: You know, when we first started talking, it was odd. It was like we were just best buddies, not even romantic. But just like a good guy-friend that I would've known forever. And he was just so easy to talk to. And after meeting a couple of times, the attraction is just grew - it was just so nice. And it was kind of hard to resist, especially when, you know, you've kissed a lot of frogs in your life when you meet a man that's just so caring and sweet as he is.
MARTIN: Did he talk to you about his immigration status, that he was in the country illegally?
CASTRO: Yes, not right away. But probably within a couple of weeks of knowing each other, we did talk about it.
MARTIN: Did you think through the repercussions of being married to someone who may be and ultimately was forced to leave the country?
CASTRO: Oh, definitely. But unfortunately, both doesn't always listen to logic.
MARTIN: A year after dating the two of you got married. And that didn't resolve the issue. I mean, I would have thought that since you're a U.S. citizen, that after he married you, it would put them on a fast-track to becoming a legal resident. Were you surprised to find out that that was not the case?
CASTRO: No, I knew the case up front. A lot of people don't know and just, you know, seeing TV here, Hollywood, think you get married, you're done, you're there. But it's actually a very difficult process, one that we've been working on pretty much since the day that we got married. You know, and there's just no guarantee either. We still don't know what's going to happen.
MARTIN: Ultimately, Jones was forced to leave the U.S. He is now in Brazil.
CASTRO: Yes, and then that's part of the process, also, that a lot of people don't realize, is they actually have to out of the country to do an interview and a medical exam and all these other steps, and so we've been separated since the end of January.
MARTIN: Did people take you aside before you got married and sat you down and say, Caly, do you understand the repercussions of married someone who is here illegally?
CASTRO: Most of them had concern but didn't actually sit me down. My father did. He was very concerned. You know, he just wants the best for me. I'm his youngest daughter. But he was the most protective and the most concerned. But he ended up falling in love with Jones just as the rest of my family and friends. And so, they're all rooting for us. They're all on our side now and they hate seeing us go through this.
MARTIN: You said you have a lot of friends who came to the U.S. illegally. Are a lot of those people talking about these issues - this idea of a pathway to citizenship - which is something being floated right now in the legislation? Did they talk about that as a viable option, even though it could take at a minimum, 10 years?
CASTRO: Mm-hmm. It's the hope and dream of a lot of people, it really is. But so many people are afraid to even start the process because by starting the process you're drawing attention to yourself, which means that the government can turn around and just deport you.
MARTIN: Why not move to Brazil? Have you thought about that?
CASTRO: Yes. That's actually part of the things that they need to consider for our waiver. For me, it would be very difficult. On an emotional standpoint, I'm very close to my family and friends and I have two young nephews that I'm extremely close to - and so is Jones. But also on a professional standpoint, I would not be able to get license there to work.
MARTIN: How often do you get to talk to Jones?
CASTRO: He lives in the northern part of Brazil and the technology there is not very reliable. About 90 percent of the phone calls I make to him don't go through. And the last time I was able to talk to him was almost a week ago.
MARTIN: I imagine this is delaying a lot of other plans in your life, and I understand the two of you want to start a family.
CASTRO: Yeah. You know, we got married with just a few of my family members but we've love to be able to celebrate it and to say our vows in front of all of our family and friends.
MARTIN: Caly Muiz Castro, her husband Jones Muniz Castro came to the U.S. illegally. He is waiting legal U.S. status in Brazil. Caly, thanks so much for talking with us.
CASTRO: Thank you very much and thank you for allowing me to spread the word about what is going on in the process that we're going through.
MARTIN: You're listening to NPR News.

An Open Letter to One Direction
Dear One Direction,
I hate you. Or, well, I wanted to hate you. Unfortunately, however, I do not hate you. Rather, I hate what you're doing to me.
To be honest, I thought you guys were all fifteen. That's not an insult! You all have a certain boyish charm! Imagine my surprise when I Googled you and realized you were my age. Actually, this will work out when we date, because I'm nineteen and just recently stopped getting children's menus at restaurants. (Yes, we're going to date. I can't say for sure whether there will be a rotation, or if we'll all date at the same time. We can hash out the details over some tacos. I hear you like tacos, Harry.)
For weeks, I literally couldn't tell you guys apart. My twelve-year-old cousin painstakingly tried to break it down for me by highlighting each of your unique qualities; I remained convinced, however, that we now had five British Justin Biebers running amok, and I just didn't need that kind of turmoil in my life… especially after my Cody Simpson phase, during which I screamed "iYiYiYiYi!" for weeks on end and hated myself.
But then the earth shifted. Stars aligned. A butterfly flapped its wings somewhere. Suddenly, I could NOT get enough of your stupid songs on the stupid radio, and I devoured your stupid interviews like they were Three Musketeers bars, which is not a comparison I use lightly. Now I know more about you than I know about myself. (Will this be awkward on our first date? Should I pretend not to know so much so you can tell me yourselves, thereby creating a bond as opposed to a one-sided romance? Oh! OH! I know! It'll be like that scene in 10 Things I Hate About You, wherein Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger take turns saying rumors they've heard about each other and then confirm or deny them. Just pretend you've heard things about me so this will work.)
For instance, I hear that you, Harry, have kissed two fans. Why not make it three? I've never kissed a boy before. You should probably be my first kiss, because one day when I'm famous (for inventing something wildly unnecessary but inexplicably popular, like the Snuggie, or for rescuing a child from a rogue lion at the zoo), it'll be one of those fun facts they put on-screen at the theater while you're waiting for the movie to start. It'll say "Fun Fact: Elodie Parker's first kiss was Harry Styles." And people will say, "Wow! That is a fun fact!" But if you're not game for a smooch, how about a handshake? A fist bump? Maybe eye contact? Can you imagine what my cousin would say if I told her I made eye contact with Harry Styles? I'd be the Cool Older Cousin, which would rectify a certain un-coolness I boasted when I kept getting your band's name wrong like some kind of really out-of-touch senior citizen. (I kept calling you "New Direction" or "Old Direction," and she gave me this absolutely scathing look that said, "You're dead to me.")
I'm following you all on Twitter. You should follow me on Twitter. This will help our burgeoning relationship. I can get regular updates and watch as you do interviews and travel around the world, and in return you can watch as I try to do perfectly ordinary things like use public transportation and somehow wind up paying homeless men twenty-five cents for knock-knock jokes.
Look, let me break it down for you. I need you all to stop being so charming and likable and START ratcheting up some realistic human flaws! Your hair's too smooth, Liam, and Harry, your smile is too adorable! Niall, your laugh is FAR too contagious! There are YouTube videos dedicated to your constant giggling! And Louis? You look way too good shirtless, so get that under control. ALL of your accents are way too attractive, so those will have to go. And Zayn? Come on, Zayn! I was recently watching an interview in which you were facing the camera directly and saying words, but I lost track of everything because your eyes started to twinkle. I'm serious. I do not kid about twinkling eyes. How did you even do that? Was it a conscious move on your part to render countless girls suddenly bamboozled? You could've been saying, "You know, sometimes I think we should reenact the Donner Party tragedy for a reality TV show, except with kittens," and I would've been nodding enthusiastically. Also, the depth and intensity with which you stared into the camera made me feel as if you were staring into the darkest corners of my soul. (Stop that.)
It doesn't help that your music is so damn catchy. Not all of it, but enough that I want to buy everything to satisfy what I'm convinced is an evolutionary-based NEED to dance. I also saw you on iCarly, and I haven't been that jealous of Miranda Cosgrove since she got to spend YEARS with Drake Bell and Josh Peck and basically live the life I always wanted.
I hope you're all happy. You know, I was perfectly happy before I had this all-consuming obsession akin to the Freddie Prinze Jr. infatuation of 2011. Congratulations. You have awoken the untamable beast within me. I'm a Directioner now, and I am neither proud nor ashamed—it's simply a path I must take, a destiny I had to choose. I've known it for some time—perhaps I knew it all along.
Your Fan and Soon-To-Be Girlfriend(ish),
I may or may not have snorted an actual Cheez-it out my nose from laughing so hard while reading this post. Are you a One Direction fan? Do you hate how much you love them?

Politico writes: "For the media, Palin is great at the box office. Among modern American political figures, she is second only to Barack Obama in generating clicks (for Web sites like this one) and ratings (for the cable news networks hungering around the clock for fresh material.) For Palin, she gets the exposure she needs to maintain her public profile and stir up chatter about a potential presidential candidacy -- both of which help her continue to rake in millions of dollars in speaking fees. She also gets a villain, with which to further energize her supporters…"
More: "The problem is that this relationship -- what in Hollywood they call 'Frenemies'--treats Palin as if she were the central figure in the politics of 2012. No realistic appraisal of Palin's current strengths and weaknesses or the history of Republican politics suggests this is necessarily true. A new poll out Thursday should make we in the media take a look in the mirror and ask: Should we really be giving so much attention to somebody who faces so many hurdles to becoming president or even the GOP nominee in 2012?"
If she runs, however, National Journal's Ron Brownstein says she might have pull with "beer-track" voters. "One lesson from Nashville is that if Palin ever takes the leap from celebrity to presidential candidate, the populist guns that conservatives have aimed against Democrats for decades could be loudly brandished inside the Republican tent."
Meanwhile, McCain leapt to Palin's defense for scrawling notes on the palm of her hand. "I guess it's OK to use a teleprompter but not OK to write something on your hand," McCain said during an appearance on Fox News.
Remember, McCain is in a potentially tough primary battle with conservative former congressman J.D. Hayworth. McCain is no Tea Party favorite, but Palin will seek to give him a boost when she campaigns for her former presidential running mate next month.

Miami Heat's Win Streak Reveals LeBron James' New Nasty SideMarch 28, 2013
LeBron James was unusually upset following the Miami Heat's 101-97 loss to the Chicago Bulls that snapped their 27-game winning streak. In fact, through the final quarter of the game, he was downright nasty.
The biggest helping of nasty came with four minutes left in the fourth quarter after James had taken a huge hit on a drive through the lane. In response, he came back on the other end and dished it right back with an elbow to Chicago's Carlos Boozer.
Realizing they were losing control of the game, the referees did what was necessary after watching a replay and called LeBron for a flagrant foul.
It was a very controversial call at the time, as most were divided on whether or not it should have been deemed flagrant. At the very least, it was no worse than the collision that James had been involved in on the previous play.
If the Bulls hit James with a lead pipe, would it be a flagrant? They've been aiming at James' head all night.— Hardwood Paroxysm (@HPbasketball) March 28, 2013
This does not appear to be a flagrant. However, I am frequently wrong.— SBNation NBA (@SBNationNBA) March 28, 2013
Upon further review, it appears that there was something vindictive about the elbow. It was definitely intentional, as LeBron extended his arm with the intent of doing additional damage.
He grits his teeth, looks at Boozer in the face, lowers his shoulder and swings.
Was it worse than the blow he endured on the other end? Absolutely not. However, it was retaliatory and premeditated.
Through the end of the game, there was no legitimate malice on the part of James, but he matched the Bulls' ruggedness, giving them something to think about until the final buzzer sounded.
The Heat fell five points shy of extending their streak, and off to the locker room they went, forgoing the usual hugs and handshakes with the team responsible for its defeat.
On the way down the tunnel, a fan tried to grab LeBron's headband. Thankfully for the rest of the fans in attendance (and David Stern), "The King" had a much cooler head than Ron Artest back in 2004 at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
The agitated display continued following the game, as James used an interview to vent his frustrations with the referees.
"It's been happening all season & I've been able to keep my cool. But it's getting to me." - @kingjames on foulsTune in to @nbatv now— NBA TV (@NBATV) March 28, 2013
LeBron: "I believe, and I know that a lot of my fouls are not basketball plays..."— Ethan J. Skolnick (@EthanJSkolnick) March 28, 2013
More LeBron: "First of all, Kirk Hinrich in the first quarter basically grabbed me with two hands and brought me to the ground...."— Ethan J. Skolnick (@EthanJSkolnick) March 28, 2013
Here's a look at the Hinrich tackle in question. Something tells me the Bulls point guard is going to be high on the Chicago Bears' list to replace Brian Urlacher (via Gifulmination.com).
More LeBron (part 3): "And, you know,the last one, Taj Gibson was able to collar me around my shoulder and bring me to the ground."— Ethan J. Skolnick (@EthanJSkolnick) March 28, 2013
LeBron was definitely manhandled at times, and there were plenty of situations in which he should have been given a foul call and wasn't. It's easy to see why he got so frustrated, which led to lashing out at his opponents during the game and wanting to call out referees after the contest.
Retaliation on the court will always be acceptable to a certain extent, and I don't think LeBron took it too far Wednesday night. He gave Boozer a measured body shot, and that was that.
However, complaining after the fact is something that fans (and other players, for that matter) will always view in a negative light. He likely has a fine coming for his postgame rant.
It might be a while before we see the goofy LeBron face again, at least in big games like this one.
Let's all hope that Chicago can put it together so that we can see these two teams meet in the playoffs. Something tells me that would be an entertaining, physical series.

Last year 151 children in Shelby County were confirmed to have been abused physically, sexually or through neglect. And what truly disturbs those who work with children is that each year many more abuses go unreported.
Most people in the community are unaware of the number of child abuse cases that happens here. That is not so for Beverley Hilger, whose passion is helping local children. As an advocate for abused children, Hilger sees the reality of the child abuse in Shelby County every day.

Hey folks,
I've spotted some stains on the board and have reached out to David but unfortunately he is not sure what to do, so opening it up to the forum.
I've tried cleaning with detergent, vinegar and mineral oil. Once cleaned and slightly damp it seems that the stains have been removed but they soon appear once the board has dried. Applying mineral oil produces the best result but again the stains appear as the layer of oil wears away.
Any tips on reducing or removing this?

For Reporting Texas
Joshunda Sanders, a freelance writer and journalist, says that an African American couple on a visit to Austin from New York a few years ago approached her to say they were thinking of moving here with their children: Was the city hospitable to black people?
"I had to honestly tell them that Austin is not the best place to raise their children," the 36-year-old Bronx native said. She added that she was concerned how the couple's school-aged children might fare in a city that lacks black cultural outlets and spaces.
After living in Austin for eight years, Sanders herself left in 2013 for what she considered a more black-friendly city, Washington D.C. And she is not alone in her feelings about the city's climate for black professionals.
A number of African American Austinites told Reporting Texas that a lack of a black culture in the capital city and the high cost of living leaves them feeling left out. They also cite Austin's history of segregation and racism, as well as friction between black youth and the Austin Police Department as reasons why Austin can feel less than hospitable. In addition, limited opportunities for networking with other black professionals is less than ideal for African Americans wanting to settle into a permanent home. Others, though, have found a home in Austin.
Austin's African American population dropped to 8.1 percent in 2010, from 10 percent a decade earlier, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. Sanders moved to Austin in 2005 to work for the Austin American-Statesman and to attend graduate school at UT, where she later became a journalism lecturer. Ultimately, she found the experience isolating.
"I knew that I would be the only black person that 95 percent of white people would encounter on a given day," she said.
Beverly Silas, president and CEO of Beverly Silas and Associates, a public affairs firm, said substantial numbers of black professionals occupy prominent positions in Austin, but they are scattered throughout the area.
"You won't find an area in Austin where your next-door neighbor is black," Silas said, adding that there are few cultural outlets, such as media, that cater to the black community.
Michael Hurd, an African American historian and freelance writer, agrees.
"There's not a lot of African American culture here," said Hurd, 65. "Austin has a global image because of SXSW, but not so much jazz and R&B.
"When you talk about food or entertainment, there are times you just want to be around people that are like you and not feel out of place," said Hurd, who is also the co-editor-in-chief of the Texas Black History Preservation Project.
Richard Reddick, a 41-year-old assistant professor of educational administration at UT-Austin, who grew up in the city, said that what he terms "exurbanification" is not unique to Austin — it's a national trend.
"Blacks are leaving cities for suburban areas for a number of reasons — jobs, more favorable housing markets, just to name two," Reddick said.
As a result, historically black communities become whiter, the cost of living there increases, and blacks are forced out because they cannot afford to pay escalating taxes.
"The communities that used to be affordable and populated by black professionals are now prohibitively expensive," Reddick said.
According to Reddick, how youth of color fare in Austin can have a profound effect on perceptions of the city. Any instance of harassment or police brutality against black youth affects the psyche of black professionals who have to worry about how their kids will experience life in the city, Reddick said in an email.
Sanders called Austin "hostile" and said the hostility was not necessarily overt, but rather played out as "micro-aggression." White people tend to have a very passive attitude toward the lack of diversity in Austin, she said.
Beverly Silas, the businesswoman, said that when she served on the board of Austin's Capital Metro in 2010, the search committee was looking for a president. She told them not to bring in a black person.
"I explained that it would be detrimental to bring a black professional to Austin because the climate is not receptive," she said. "There is no infrastructure in place to support African Americans here."
In the latest census data available, 3.9 percent of Austin's businesses were black-owned in 2007, compared to 7.1 percent for Texas as a whole. The Greater Austin Area Black Chamber of Commerce wants to increase those numbers. President Natalie Cofield is evangelizing—encouraging black people to come to Austin.
Speaking on a recent panel discussion broadcast on KLRU, Cofield said the chamber is working to build "vibrant businesses, vibrant economies and vibrant organizations that are really going to serve as the roots that people are looking for."
Cofield said the chamber is taking a "very aggressive and proactive stance on evangelizing Austin across the country, so much so that when we travel people say, 'I have never had someone tell me they want black people in their city before.'"
Rich Reddick, the education professor, sees some progress: earlier in 2014, Alpha Phi Alpha, a historically black fraternity with more than 175,000 members nationwide, held its annual convention in Austin. Another step forward is the Black Chamber's program to to recruit black professionals in the IT field. And organizations like 100 Black Men are re-activating and bringing black professionals together from different areas of expertise as well.
But for Sanders, more needs to be done.
"There needs to be incentive programs that attract black professionals and black business owners to Austin," she said.
The University of Texas has drawn some African Americans who have stayed. Carishia Williams, a 23-year-old restaurant hostess and a UT graduate, has been living in Austin for five years.
"It just suits me," Williams said. "It's not perfect, but I've fallen in love with the city."
She said that if there are no spaces for black people in Austin, then they must create new ones.
While Williams saves money to pursue a doctorate in psychology, she's making Austin her home. She feels a connection to the city through UT and said a lot of her friends from college have stayed, too.
Although she has seen obstacles to employment in the city, she said she believes part of the reason is because she is young with a low level of experience and not just that she's a black woman. She did say that if she were back in her hometown of Dallas, she would have a better job by now.
But she doesn't want to give up on the city.
"I like the party scene out here, and there is always something to do," she said. "Sometimes I do feel out of place, but I can imagine that could happen in any new city that I move to."

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Barry University men's and women's tennis teams will compete in the Sunshine State Conference Championships beginning Thursday at Rollins College.
Both the men's and women's conference tournament champions will earn automatic qualifiers to the 2014 NCAA Division II National Tennis Championships.
The SSC is one of the elite NCAA Division II conferences in tennis. The league consists of five top-10 ranked women's teams in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association national poll: No. 1 Barry, No. 5 Lynn, No. 7 Saint Leo, No. 8 Rollins and No. 10 Florida Southern. On the men's side, No. 2 Barry, No. 4 Saint Leo and No. 8 Lynn are among the nation's best.
SSC teams have collected 12 national championships in tennis -- 7 men and 5 women. They have also earned a total of 16 national runner-up trophies -- 10 men 6 women.
Barry has won three national titles in the last four years. The Buccaneers men won in 2013 and 2010, while the women won in 2011.
The Buccaneers top-ranked women's team (20-1, 8-0 SSC) captured the first-ever SSC women's regular-season title, and are seeking a fifth straight conference tournament crown.
The rest of the women's seeds are as follows: No. 2 Lynn (20-2, 7-1 SSC), No. 3 Saint Leo (17-4, 5-3), No. 4 Rollins (16-5, 5-3 SSC), No. 5 Florida Southern (16-5, 5-3 SSC), No. 6 Nova Southeastern (13-10, 3-5 SSC), No. 7 Tampa (11-7, 2-6 SSC) and No. 8 Florida Tech (10-12, 1-7 SSC).
Florida Southern, Rollins and Saint Leo all finished their conference slate with a 5-3 record, and all three teams went 1-1 against the other two conference opponents. The next tiebreaking criteria after head-to-head is the position of each team in the most current NCAA or ITA South Region rankings. Based on the most current rankings, by the NCAA, as of April 16, Saint Leo earned the No. 3 seed, Rollins fourth and Florida Southern fifth at the SSC tournament. The Lions currently rank No. 3 in the South Region, while Rollins ranks fourth and Florida Southern ranks sixth.
No. 1 Barry will face No. 8 Florida Tech 11:30 a.m. Thursday at Bert Martin Courts. No. 4 Rollins will take on No. 5 Florida Southern also at 11:30. The winners will meet in the semifinal round on Friday at 12:30 p.m.
The other side of the bracket will have No. 2 Lynn and No. 7 Tampa squaring off at 1:30 p.m. Thursday. The winner of that match will face the winner of No. 3 Saint Leo and No. 6 Nova Southeastern in Friday's other 12:30 p.m. semifinal. Saint Leo and Nova Southeastern are also scheduled to play at 11:30 a.m. Thursday.
The women's final is set for 12:30 p.m. next Saturday.
The No. 2-ranked Buccaneers men's team (19-2, 6-0 SSC) also captured the first SSC regular season title this year, and are in search of their third straight conference tournament title. The Bucs earned a first round bye.
The rest of the men's seeds are as follows: No. 2 Lynn (12-5, 5-1), No. 3 Rollins (11-9, 4-2), No. 4 Saint Leo (17-4, 3-3), No. 5 Florida Southern (10-9, 2-4), No. 6 Florida Tech (7-12, 1-5) and No. 7 Eckerd (4-11, 0-6).
First round matchups in the men's draw all begin at 9 a.m. Thursday. No. 2 Lynn will face No. 7 Eckerd for a spot in the semifinal round against the winner of No. 3 Rollins and No. 6 Florida Tech. On the other side of the bracket, No. 4 Saint Leo and No. 5 Florida Southern will meet for a chance to play No. 1 Barry in the semifinal round. Both of the men's semifinal matches will be played 9 a.m. Friday. The men's final is 9 a.m. next Saturday.

TOM WITHERS,AP Sports Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) — Indians closer Chris Perez deactivated his Twitter account following two rough outings, and after receiving a slew of negative comments.
Perez took down (at)chrisperez54 on Monday, not long after the two-time All-Star gave up a ninth-inning home run to Seattle's Endy Chavez. It was the second straight poor performance by Perez, who allowed back-to-back homers in the ninth on Saturday. The Indians won both games.
Several fans sent Perez harsh comments and there were a few profane remarks made toward him following Monday's win, which completed a four-game sweep by the first-place Indians, who entered Tuesday's game against Detroit leading the AL Central by 2 1-2 games over the Tigers.
Although he was one of the AL's top closers last season, Perez became a target for some fans when he criticized them for not supporting the Indians. Perez has always been active on Twitter, posting a daily favorite song and interacting with his followers.
In a statement released through the team, Perez didn't specify his reason for deactivating his account.
"The decision to deactivate my Twitter account was a personal choice I made in order to maintain the greater focus on the success of the team this season and our shared goals moving forward," he said. "We have an extremely positive and supportive group of players, coaches and staff members in our clubhouse and I want to participate in activities and routines that contribute positively to the culture we're building here.
"Out of respect for my teammates, I want to minimize any potential off-the-field distractions so this is the only time I will comment on this topic. Thank you for your understanding."
Perez was not in Cleveland's clubhouse before pregame batting practice and he did not speak with reporters after leaving the field.
Indians manager Terry Francona was aware of Perez's decision to abandon the social media site.
"I don't know if it's a good idea or a bad idea," he said. "I understand his reasoning was to focus more on what we're doing. I thought his thought process was really good. I don't think I've looked at a Twitter in my life. I don't even know if I know how. But I like his reasoning. I'm cool with it."
Francona wasn't with the Indians last season, but he knows Perez was a polarizing figure. Francona contacted Perez shortly after he was hired by the Indians and said the hard-throwing 27-year-old has been great to deal with and focused this season.
"Terrific and more," Francona said. "His level of communication with me has been fantastic."
Perez, who recorded 39 saves in 2012, is 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA and six saves this year.
