Solitaire Chess
Sequential logic puzzle based on the rules of Chess.
You may also like:
Chess is cool, but it does have its drawbacks. Namely, you have to find an opponent that is of a comparable skill level to yourself and not a complete dork. You may also not have a spare three hours lying around to devote to an epic Chess duel. Fixing these problems is where Solitaire Chess scores big!
Solitaire Chess is a single-player logic puzzle that uses the rules of Chess to exercise your noodle. To play, first choose one of the 30 included double-sided challenge cards and slide it into the top of the Solitaire Chess board. Arrange the chess pieces on the board as illustrated on the card, and then start moving. To win, you must capture a piece on every move until only one remains.
The Solitaire Chess puzzle board features a slide-out compartment underneath where you can store the 10 included game pieces, making it perfect for travel. The instruction manual includes three hints for each of the Solitaire Chess challenges, which range in difficulty from beginner to expert. Ages 8+.
Features & specs
- Dimensions: 6.75" x 6.75" x 2"
- Includes 60 challenges (30 double-sided cards)
- 10 chess pieces (Pawn x 2, Bishop x 2, Knight x 2, Rook x 2, Queen, King)
- Store pieces easily in slide-out drawer
- Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert challenges
- Ages 8+
Embrace your inner nerd!
While it may be more fun to embrace your inner athlete, let's get practical for a moment—most bosses don't care about your vertical leap. They're much more interested in what you can do with your brain. This is the muscle that Solitaire Chess is going to attack.
Start by selecting one of the 60 challenges
Solitaire Chess includes thirty double-sided challenge cards. Color-coded by difficulty level, each card indicates the starting positions for the pieces used in that challenge.
Once you've selected a card, place it on top of the Solitaire Chess game board or slide it underneath for a more secure playing surface.
Arrange the board according to the challenge card
The challenge card will illustrate the starting positions of the Chess pieces used in the puzzle. The harder the challenge, the more pieces that will be required.
Each move must result in a captured piece
After you've set up the Solitaire Chess board according to the challenge card, you must capture all of the pieces until only one remains. A piece must be captured on every move.
So, if a challenge begins with four pieces, you must make three Chess moves to eliminate three pieces. You can move the pieces in any order, but a piece must be captured on every move.
When only one piece remains, you've won!
Solitaire Chess is difficult. You must think in advance to ensure that every move results in a captured piece and that only one remains at the end. If you succeed, well, give yourself a pat on the back. And then pick a new challenge card!
Designed for compact storage, travel
The thirty challenge cards can be secured directly beneath the board surface. A plastic clip keeps them from falling out during transport.
The recessed circles on the game surface prevent the pieces from sliding when playing in the car, plane, train, or during a mild earthquake.
Stow pieces in the slide-out drawer
Solitaire Chess includes ten Chess pieces (two each of pawns, rooks, knights, and bishops, as well as one king and queen), which can all be securely stored in the pull-out compartment underneath the game board.
Hints included!
Solitaire Chess becomes exceedingly tricky as you progress through the intermediate, advanced, and expert challenges.
To save you from complete torture, the instruction manual includes three different hints for each challenge:
- The first piece to move
- The first piece to be captured
- The last piece remaining on the board
If the included hints can't get you going, solutions for all 60 challenges are also listed in the instruction manual. We won't blame you if you have to sneak a peek.

If I weren't bopping around to fashion shows this weekend, I'd be planning a vintage shopping date with my friend Lee to track down a slew of what I call "granny plaids." You know what plaids I mean: the kinds of plaids that turn up in '60s-era photos of your grandma, where she's shown sitting around playing Bridge or Backgammon, sipping a gimlet with a twinkle in her eye that says she's got a few tricks up her sleeve yet.
Don't have a granny like that? (Me neither really. I think I've just been watching too many Mad Men reruns.) Well, they're also the kinds of plaids that are so fancy and official that they're actually considered tartans and the best of the best have Gossip Girl-sounding names (and serious backstories to go with) like "Campbell," "Mackenzie," and "Dress Stewart." You'd know 'em if you saw 'em.
See the entire Celine Pre-Fall collection on Style.com
I first saw them pop up in the Celine Pre-Fall collection, which got me thinking that maybe a tour around the local vintage stores (or even a scroll through Etsy!) for similar threads would be a good way to get a jump-start on the cold-weather trend.
See the entire Rag & Bone fall 2011 collection on Style.com
But then, when I saw them again in yesterday's Rag & Bone fall 2011 runway show--this time in the form of super-sized tartans and Prince of Wales plaids--it totally sealed the deal for me and they became an Official Fall 2011 Trend. Plaids are always a fall and winter style go-to, and these brighter, bolder, faintly '60s-feeling versions are a little dressier (translation: work-friendly) than the cozy flannel plaids we've seen so much of lately.
If you're feeling a need to jump on the tartan bandwagon early, hit up your local vintage store--the more old lady-feeling the better, if you want to find some serious wool plaid goodies. Or, if treasure-hunting in thrift shops isn't your bag, try the sales racks of stores, where there's probably a slew of winter 2010 styles that are marked down, like these:
What do you think of fall 2011's "granny plaid" trend? Are you already working the '60s tartan thing? If so, where'd you buy your threads?
Update: Yup, it's totally a trend. Derek Lam, DKNY and Chris Benz had 'em too! Start raiding granny's closet!

Tagged: Denver Bronco Cheerleaders
Second Loss this Year…But We Got an Ear
Texans vs Broncos
Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Peyton's house was full again 'cept for 400 or so no-shows.
Bronco fans were all eager to see what Peyton was going to look like this week. He's new(to us) still and we have no idea what to expect from him.
Once again I managed to snag free parking but you have to be extremely careful where you park.
Parking enforcement was out in full effect making sure you follow the difficult to understand parking signs. There were no shortage of tow trucks to remove your car in case you F'ked up and read the sign wrong.
Broncos introductions.
Coin toss.
Rod Smith's Number was being inducted into the Broncos Ring of Fame today so they Broncos were giving away Rod Smith trading cards.
Rod's position in the Ring of Fame is next to Shannon Sharpe.
Joe Mays get's the Mike Tyson award for ear removal when he leveled Schuab. Mays hit him so hard a piece of Schuab's ear actually came off…That's nasty!!
Quote from Schuab: "I felt fine. I just lost a piece of my ear, I was bleeding and my helmet came off so I had to come out for a play, but I was fine."

Peyton fires one to Stokely.
Less than a minute left, the last throw of the game to Decker.
Who then tossed it to Bell, who tried to toss it again but for not.
Final Score
I'm "D" the Ranter. It may be "Manning's House" but Peyton needs to get his kids in line.

'American Pie' Actor Eddie Kaye Thomas Threatened With a Knife After a One-Night Stand Gone Bad
A SWAT team was called to actor Eddie Kaye Thomas' home after a one-night stand took a very bad turn and Thomas (who played Finch in the 'American Pie' movie franchise) was threatened with a knife.
On the plus side, at least it got crazy afterwards.
Thomas escaped his home on Wednesday night, April 17, called 911 and said a woman in his crib threatened to kill him with a knife. She barricade herself inside but police later took her into custody and she was booked with felony vandalism. (We'll get to that in a minute.)
TMZ has learned that Thomas had known this chick for less than 24 hours, having met her the night before. He took her home with him, but everything went awry the next afternoon when they got into a fight and she pulled a knife on him. As unhinged hookups are wont to do.
Before she was removed from his home with tear gas (!!!), the unidentified woman totally trashed Eddie's house. And there's your vandalism charge.
We hope he's learned his lesson here. Everyone knows you should never let your overnight guests stay past noon.

Many trucking companies cut staff in the height of the recession a few years ago. Now that business is picking back up, they're finding themselves hard-pressed for drivers. The drivers who are left are charging more, and now folks who need to ship things are bitchin' about it.
Marty Koppelman, who runs a manufacturing company, told the Detroit Free Press; "It's been extremely busy, so there were not enough trucks to handle all the volume. When that happens, the truckers are very selective, so they're only going to take the loads when they make the most money and have a round trip. They know they have you. They jack that price up."
No shit, so would I.
Freep goes on cite the American Trucking Associations claiming the US needs "another 30,000 truck drivers" to bring a what I guess they consider a more favorable balance to supply and demand. Apparently about 3.2 million truckers are employed in America, moving some 70% of all US freight. The US Department of Labor puts their average income at $38,200 a year.
About a year ago, regulations changed regarding how many hours truckers were allowed to work in an attempt to mitigate people piloting semi-trucks in a haze of drowsiness. The trucking industry is of course unhappy with this, blaming "spiking trucking costs" on such limits.
Less truckers working less hours means their services are in shorter supply, and they'll be able to charge more to move the 9 billion tons of stuff other businesses need to survive. That makes higher cost for retailers, which of course they'll pass on to us consumers.
Maybe it's a good time to think about getting that Commercial Driver's License! Until we hit another recession of course, and shippers slash-and-burn drivers all over again.

Church claims weekly Big Ten laurels
Church claims weekly Big Ten laurels
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State junior Whitney Church has been named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week after putting up a phenomenal performance against Northwestern in each team's conference opener on Friday (Sept. 20).
The reigning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year picks up her first Offensive Player of the Week honor after netting a pair of goals, including the game-winner, in the Nittany Lions' 3-2 double-overtime win against the Wildcats.
Trailing 2-0 with just over 10 minutes remaining in regulation, Church posted her first goal of the season to get the Blue and White on the board at the 79:31 mark. The defender received the ball on a corner kick from teammate Raquel Rodriguez (San Jose, Costa Rica) and headed it in to bring the Lions within one. The MAC Herman Watch List selection then sealed the deal for Penn STate, firing one in from 20 yards out with less than four minutes remaining in the second overtime period.

I found this year's A-Z Challenge (2014) to be the most enjoyable. Not just because of the theme I chose, but because I adopted a different strategy to the other 2 years I have been involved. It had been suggested to me before - but, this time, I did it!
The strategy: Although we had Sundays 'off', I chose to use Sunday afternoons to write all the posts for the coming week and schedule them ahead of time. They were short posts, and I found that, although pictures are pretty, they tend to make the post look horrendously long and you give up reading after one scroll-down. So mine were short and sweet text-only - and I don't think that any readers were put off because there were no pictures!
Scheduling posts ahead of time meant that I could use the time each day to go and visit other people's blogs. This is something I failed at miserably in years gone past. But this time, I managed to visit and leave comments and read comments on my own blog and reply to those comments. I really felt as though I was participating, rather than 'oh-gosh-I've-got-to-find-the-time-to-write-yet-ANOTHER-post' and 'thank-goodness-it's-over' on April 30. In fact, on April 30 2014, I felt energised!
The only thing I would say that I found to be awkward was reading people's comments on my own blog, then going to visit them. There was VERY often no link, so either I clicked on their name, on their profile, on their 'My Blogs' - or went back to the A-Z Challenge site, found them in the linky list, clicked on them -aaargh! So many clicks! So little time! So little patience! It should be a rule that everybody makes their own hyperlinked signature, such as
My blog is at GenWestUK
It's easy enough to do, and encourages bloggers to go and visit, as all they have to do is click once, and they're there.
Otherwise: I loved the A-Z Challenge, and look forward to 2015!

Information for Patients
Also called: Broken bone
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
Symptoms of a fracture are
- Intense pain
- Deformity - the limb looks out of place
- Swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the injury
- Numbness and tingling
- Problems moving a limb
You need to get medical care right away for any fracture. An x-ray can tell if your bone is broken. You may need to wear a cast or splint. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.

POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement.

Last weekend, Clusterstock had the opportunity to watch the founder of private equity firm Solaia Capital, Michael Carrazza, play in a polo match — it's his polo match, in fact, as the team he plays on belongs to him.
This isn't uncommon.
Unless you're a pro, there's really no other way to play polo. The sport is a "culture, and a little bit of a cult sport," said Carrazza.
In fact, polo is a global community where players from all over the world travel in a circuit with their horses and gear from the sport's home base in Argentina, to Florida, the Hamptons and beyond.
We caught up with Carrazza at the Southampton Polo Club where he's a member. The club doesn't have a clubhouse, it's actually just polo fields for serious players. There, Carrazza plays tournament leagues against other members, scopes out professionals to recruit for his team, and keeps his horses during the May to October Northeast season.
He started playing over 12 years ago, when his then boss at another private equity firm and a founder of the club, encouraged him to join the club. He had never ridden a horse before.
Now he's a sponsor — or a "patron" as the Argentines say — which means he owns his own gear, and horses. For each tournament he assembles a mix of pros to play with him. In the time that he's played, Carrazza's handicap has improved from a -2 "goals" (the lowest) to 0 "goals," the general rating of sponsors. The highest ranked players in the world, of which there are only around a dozen, are ranked a 10 "goal".
"I view the success of the game as how well I play and improve," Carrazza told Business Insider. "There is no substitute for the adrenaline rush you get when you're engaged in a play at high speed and it folds together as planned; everything has to be precisely timed."
For sponsors, being on the field is a treat, as most of them have careers that supercede the demanding sport. Carrazza himself has to juggle practicing, keeping his horses and team organized, and playing polo with running his private equity shop.
"I'm not aware of any type-B people who play polo," Carrazza said.
That sounds accurate to us.

Owning a home is an important task of every individual. This use to start as a dream but accomplishing it into reality bring great pride. Being a big and a life time investment that come once in a life of most of the individuals that can make confusion in undertaking the home buying process as a first time home buyer. There is no doubt about the mortgage process is a lengthy financial transaction that often confuse first time home buyers. Its a fact of majority that most of the individuals don't have money to just purchase a home outright, that's the reason home buyers turn toward the mortgage lenders to ask for home financing of their dreams.
There are various important things to look after for the first time borrowers but first thing that should understand is the role credit plays in the mortgage process. Prepare yourself to ask a lender to make a sizeable loan to you for an extended period of time – often 25 and 30 years. For the lenders to take on this risk, they require to evaluate your creditability and your ability to pay back the loan. Home lenders typically look at your credit report which highlights how you have dealt with other creditors in the past, your net household income, location and the value of the home you are willing to purchase. Based on such information home lender then decide on whether to extend you the credit and at how much interest rate.
Interest rate is a vital concept to understand as over the lifetime of the loan you can expect to pay back double the amount of the loan value based on the interest rate – that C$150,000 house can cost you C$300,000. What your goal being as a first time home buyer in the mortgage process is to get the lowest possible interest rate you can.
You also need to access your affordability, as most of the mortgage lenders typically consider to spend maximum 30% of your monthly income on house payments. In fact, longer mortgage term with the low interest rate can make your dream house afford to buy. It is important to buy something you can easily pay back and comfortable affording because you don't want to see yourself in a crisis situation like unable to pay your monthly mortgage payment.
Next, you should have saved up a reasonable cash reserve before going into the home buying process. You are going to ask to pay things like closing costs and down payments; try to pay good amount of a down payment as you can to reduce your credit amount as much as possible. You then will want to have a small reserve left over to furnish your new house and take care of any required repairs – remember, you own your home now and it is up to you to spend money on it to furnish or repair it if something happens!
Mortgage basics for first time home buyer can bring confidence but if you are still confused about the mortgage process and home buying, don't panic because you are not alone. There are many first time home borrowers who share the same kind of concerns and fears. Search and find in your community offline and online for the local first time home buyer groups that meet with experts from the banking and real estate industry there to answer your questions. You may also contact mortgage lenders or brokers and realtor about your finding. Look around you, you will find lot of people having successful home buying experience, and if you come prepared you can go through with the big and successful financial endeavor by getting the best possible deal on your mortgage while getting your own house.

Israel, ban the bomb: Updated
By Ariel Natan Pasko
Mordechai Vanunu -- the Israeli nuclear whistleblower -- Israel's own Benedict Arnold, has been released after serving 18 years in prison. He was jailed for spilling the beans about Israel's nuclear weapons program back in 1986. He's been lionized as a hero by the usual anti-Israel, anti-America, and anti-west crowd, including British actress Susannah York, who flew into Israel special to greet him upon his release. But Vanunu is hated with all the fury that traitors usually are by "Joe Israeli."
Vanunu, who worked at the Dimona Nuclear Research Facility, left Israel in 1986, converted in Australia to turn-the-other-cheek Anglican Christianity, and flew to Britain to tell the Sunday Times all his secret nuclear knowledge. Unrepentant about what he did, since just before his release, he's insisted that Israel is illegitimate, and that Jews don't have a right to a Jewish State. Vanunu has called Judaism and Islam "primitive," and claimed that his version of "kill me please" Christianity is more morally developed.
I guess he hasn't paid much attention to the news in the last few years. "Christian" America hasn't been too willing to "roll over and play dead" since 9/11. American hasn't chosen to give in to terrorism and Israel shouldn't either.
Israel should get rid of its Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) programs -- its alleged nuclear arsenal -- Vanunu and his friends say. Yet, Iran is working as we speak to get the bomb. Syria has lots and lots of chemical weapons (CW) and missiles to attack with. So does Egypt. In fact, Egypt like its Arab brother Iraq used its chemical weapons in the past. Egypt in the 1960s in Yemen; Iraq in the 1980's against the Kurds, Iraqi Shiites, and Iranians. India and Pakistan have the bomb, so does North Korea. I won't mention the five permanent members of the UN who do too. And Libya?
Libya, that on again, off again sponsor of international terrorism since the 1970s, has plenty of chemical weapons -- about 100 tons of mustard gas and nerve agents, according to the CIA -- and missiles that could hit Israel and most of Europe. The Germans sold the missiles to them in the 1980s. They also have Scuds from North Korea. Libya also has sought dual-use capabilities that could be used to develop and produce biological warfare (BW) agents. But now Libya's leader, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi -- or is that gadfly? -- has announced that he will scrap Libya's WMD programs. He promised to put his nuclear facilities under greater international inspection. Sounds like, Iran, huh?
So what do all these Middle Eastern "Ban the Bomb" advocates start to do?
Commenting on Gaddafi's actions, Libya's state-run press made clear that Israel would have to follow suit with its weaponry. The Al-Jamahiriya newspaper said Libya's decision had reversed the "race" to produce weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East and placed "exceptional pressure on Israel" to come clean on its own nuclear weapons, which it has neither admitted to nor denied possessing.
Following Gaddafi's announcement not long ago, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher called on Israel to follow Libya's example and get rid of its nuclear weapons program. Maher said, "I hope that other countries in the region...would follow such an example...get rid of and put an end to any nuclear weapons production program," Maher said. Maher did not specifically name Israel, but said, "You know, of course, who I mean." When asked if the international community should start looking at Israel's nuclear capabilities, Maher said: "I said that the steps which Libya took should be a model to follow. This is clear. I won't add anything."
The same day, Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa, joined in saying, "The Libyan position confirms the importance of pressuring Israel to comply with all laws banning nuclear proliferation and joining the NPT" [nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty]. Moussa added, "It is not logical to make an exception or to be tolerant of Israel on this issue." The Arab states have spoken.
Then, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak called on Israel to eliminate its WMD. "We welcome the Libyan decision," Mubarak told journalists during a visit to Sadat City, in southern Cairo. "Israel must also eliminate its weapons of mass destruction." Egypt has for some time called on the Israel to ratify the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and make the Middle East a region free of WMD. Mubarak said that in the mid-1990s he discussed with former Israeli prime minister and current opposition leader Shimon Peres (Labor) the matter of Israel dismantling its nuclear arsenal. Mubarak claimed that Peres -- father of the Israeli nuclear program -- told him that the issue would be resolved following a settlement between Israel and the Palestinians.
That's Egypt; former user of chemical weapons itself. That's Egypt, who according to the Monterey Institute of International Studies -- which tracks weapons issues -- has its own stockpile of deadly Sarin and VX nerve agents, and is believed to working on an offensive BW program as well.
Iran also praised Libya's decision to abandon its WMD program, calling for pressure against Israel to do the same. Iranian officials released a statement that the time has come for the international community to exert pressure on Israel to abandon its nuclear program, referring to Israel as the main threat to the region. That's Iran, the country that not long ago was parading around its new Shahab 3 that could hit Israel -- allegedly -- with markings on them for "Tel-Aviv" and "Jerusalem."
What's with all this concern about Israeli WMD all of a sudden?
The answer is that with the fall of Saddam's regime and American occupation, Iraq has been temporarily taken out of the WMD loop, or so it seems. With the Libyan declarations and Iran's recent signing of the additional protocol of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which opens the way for unannounced UN inspections of suspect sites, the door has been opened for increased pressure on Israel. Iran and Syria know there's still a lot of focus on their own weapons programs -- US President Bush just signed the Syrian Accountability Act which puts a spotlight on Syrian WMD -- so why not try to divert attention toward Israel. Notice the Syrian moves at the UN not long ago calling on Israel to disarm and make the Middle East a "nuke-free zone."
Israel has had a frosty "peace" with Egypt since 1979, and a not much warmer "peace" with Jordan since 1994. Israel has been in a "peace process" for the last ten years with the Palestinians. That "peace process" has cost Israel over 1,300 lives from Palestinian warfare. Although the military balance vis-a-vis the Arab-Islamic world has shifted further toward Israel's favor in the last couple of decades -- do to its growing technological edge -- Israel's "will to fight" or "staying power" has slowly been eaten away in the last decade. Continuous guerilla war and terrorism from the Palestinians, combined with a world-wide propaganda campaign, has put Israel into a defensive posture, and caused it's leadership to refrain from using its substantial firepower. Now, the Arab-Islamic world is trying to pressure Israel to give up its strategic arsenal as well.
According to the latest accounting -- September 2003 -- of the Jaffe Center's "Middle East Military Balance," the Arab League states and Iran -- minus Iraq -- vastly outnumber Israel in conventional forces; men under arms, tanks, artillery, combat aircraft, transport aircraft, and helicopters. Let's ignore their naval advantage for purposes of this discussion. Take a look at soldiers -- both regular and reserves -- Israel has about 650,000 troops vs. 2,750,000 for the Arab League/Iran. Israel has 3,675 tanks and 3,900 artillery pieces, against 15,075 tanks and 17,400 artillery pieces for the Arab League/Iran. Despite Israel's highly touted air force, in numbers it's vastly outnumbered. Israel has 537 combat aircraft, 64 transport aircraft, and 239 helicopters. The Arab League/Iran combo has 4534 combat aircraft, 558 transport aircraft, and 1897 helicopters.
In conventional terms, Israel is outgunned, period. And I haven't even taken into account the greater Islamic world beyond Iran, or the threat of terrorism. Israel's last line of defense is its non-conventional deterrent. Now it becomes clear why those who would threaten Israel most, have joined the "Ban the Bomb" parade.
Israeli policy has always been that it will, "Never be the first state to introduce nuclear weapons into the Middle East," a policy of ambiguity. But from Vanunu in the 1980s on, cracks have opened in the Israeli "plausible denial" routine. Even Shimon Peres some years back, slipped, and implied that Israel does have the bomb. Most estimates place it more precisely at about 200 bombs on the low end, up to as many as 500-600.
In the last few years, Israel took charge of three German built submarines. They liked them so much, that they requested Germany to sell them some more. But due to reports that Israel had modified cruise missiles with nuclear warheads to be launched from the subs, Germany declined. I don't have any "inside" info on that, but I sure hope it's true. That would give Israel the "strategic triad" of land, air, and sea launched nukes. Just what Israel's "friends" need to keep them at bay.
As long as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah elements, al-Qaeda, and whoever else wants to destroy Israel; as long as Iran, Syria, Egypt, Libya, and whoever, continue their own WMD programs; as long as the balance of forces favors Israel's enemies; Israel needs to continue to build up its own non-conventional weapons capabilities, and be prepared to use them. Israel has a moral obligation; in fact, it was created to make sure, a second Holocaust never happens.

One of the suits rises out of notorious police torture scandal
By Don Babwin
Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago City Council committee preliminarily approved settlements Tuesday in two police misconduct cases that would cost the city nearly $33 million, including $22.5 million for a California woman that apparently would be the largest payout to a single such plaintiff in the city's history.
The full City Council is expected to sign off on the settlements Thursday.
The bigger of the two would go to the family of Christina Eilman, who will require care for the rest of her life for severe brain injuries suffered in a 2006 fall from a 7th-floor window at a Chicago housing project where she had just been raped.
The second settlement would pay $10.25 million to Alton Logan, one victim of the city's notorious police torture scandal involving officers under former Lt. John Burge. Logan spent 26 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit, and his award would be the biggest handed out in any case to stem from the investigation into the Burge unit, which framed black murder suspects and tortured many into confessing.
The aldermen voted unanimously to approve the settlements after Alderman Edward Burke said he was "embarrassed and ashamed" that the city had put Eilman's family through a such a long legal fight, and another alderman suggested the city should have paid far more to Logan, who spent more than a quarter-century behind bars before he was released in 2008.
The alderman asked few questions before voting on just the latest Chicago police misconduct cases in recent years. Among other crimes, officers have been convicted of robbing suspected drug dealers of hundreds of thousands of dollars and beating a man who was handcuffed to a wheelchair. In November, a federal jury awarded $850,000 to a female bartender who was beaten by a drunken off-duty police officer, concluding police adhere to a code of silence in protecting rogue officers.
In often graphic detail, city corporation counsel Steve Patton outlined police actions or inaction that justified the size of the settlements.
Eilman, he said, was trying to fly back to California in May 2006 after visiting Chicago but wasn't allowed to board her flight at Midway International Airport because she was acting strangely and violently. Police took her to the airport's train stop, but she began disrobing, danced suggestively and verbally attacked people around her, including a blind man.
Police took her to a bus stop, but the behavior continued, so they arrested her. She continued acting strangely while in custody, babbling and even smearing menstrual blood on the holding cell's walls. Her parents repeatedly phoned police from California to tell them not to release the 21-year-old college student because she was bipolar and clearly having a breakdown. Still, Eilman was released to fend for herself near the last standing high-rise of the Robert Taylor Homes, a notorious South Side public housing complex that since has been demolished.
Patton said Eilman ended up in a vacant apartment on the high-rise's seventh floor, where a man raped her at knifepoint.
"She was thrown or jumped out of a seventh-story window," Patton said. Authorities still don't know exactly what happened because the fall caused massive brain injuries, leaving her with the mental capacity of a child, according to court documents.
Eilman's case was to go to federal trial next week. Patton suggested a jury could have awarded her family far more money than the settlement amount.
Burke, who chairs the finance committee, said he was embarrassed by the officers' behavior and ashamed he and other members didn't order the city to settle with the family sooner. Cleary angry, he read from a federal appellate court opinion allowing Eilman's lawsuit to proceed last year.
Police didn't so much as walk her to a train station, warn her about the dangers of the neighborhood or "even return Eilman's cellphone, which she might have used to summon aid," he read. "They might as well have released her into the lions' den at the Brookfield Zoo."
Logan's lawsuit is one of several stemming from one of the darkest chapters of the Chicago Police Department's history.
Logan was arrested in 1982 in the slaying of an off-duty Cook County corrections officer, who was shot to death at a McDonald's while working as a security guard.
Logan and another man were convicted, even though there was no physical evidence linking Logan to the crime. Logan was freed in 2008, months after two attorneys representing the other man came forward with a confession from their client that attorneys did not reveal until he died because they were bound to honor the attorney-client privilege.
According to Patton, there were many problems with the investigation, including there being no evidence Logan even knew his co-defendant. While there was no evidence Logan was tortured by Burge's detectives, another man gave authorities information implicating Logan after being tortured. Furthermore, Patton said Burge has admitted he believed Logan was innocent. Burge has been convicted of lying under oath by testifying in another case that he never witnessed or participated in the torture of suspects.
Alderman Ray Suarez suggested the city was getting off easy with a settlement that, after attorneys' fees, will pay Logan less than $8.75 million.
"He spent 26 years in jail (and) I think $8 million is really not enough," Suarez said.
But Logan himself said the money will "bring a measure of happiness because it will allow me to live in a comfortable manner." Besides, he said at a news conference at his attorney's office Tuesday afternoon, his eyes welling with tears, "Nothing, no amount of money will ever make up for the time I lost.... I lost everything."

Vaginal Cancer
When cancer starts in the vagina, it is called vaginal cancer. Vaginal cancer is extremely rare, but does affect approximately 1,000 women each year in the United States.
Most vaginal cancers do not present with signs and symptoms, but if symptoms are present, they may include:
- Unusual vaginal bleeding/discharge
- Change in bathroom habits to include blood in stool/urine, frequency or constipation
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
There is no way to know who will be diagnosed with vaginal cancer. However there are factors that increase the risk of diagnosis: having HPV, a history of abnormal Pap tests, being HIV positive and smoking.
The risk of vaginal cancer can be lowered by getting the HPV vaccine as recommended, limiting the number of sexual partners and not smoking.

The days are long gone when a handful of Internet banking and bill pay providers dominated the credit union marketplace. While Digital Insight is still the major player with Net banking, commanding 18% of the CU market for CUs over $25 million, other players such as data processors and tech CUSOs are nipping at DI's heels. In the bill pay arena, data processors play less of a role, although IntegraSys has almost 10% of the market for CUs over $25 million. Online Resources and Metavante are the top vendors with almost 15% market share each.

Hubble Finds Searchlight Beams and Multiple Arcs around a Dying Star
This Hubble telescope picture of the Egg Nebula, also known as CRL2688, shows a pair of mysterious "searchlight" beams emerging from a hidden star and criss-crossed by numerous bright arcs. This image sheds new light on the poorly understood ejection of stellar matter that accompanies the slow death of Sun-like stars. The nebula is really a large cloud of dust and gas ejected by the star, expanding at a speed of 115,000 mph (20 km/s).
A dense cocoon of dust [the dark band in the center] enshrouds the star and hides it from our view. Starlight escapes more easily in directions where the cocoon is thinner and is reflected towards us by dust particles in the cloud, giving it its overall appearance. Objects like CRL2688 are rare because they are in a very short evolutionary phase. However, they may hold the key to our understanding of how red giant stars transform themselves into planetary nebulae, the glowing remnants of dying stars.

Videogame history project successfully emulates CRT on LCD
See old games how they were meant to look
We thought fuzzy images went out with cathode ray tube monitors, but a team of boffins at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed an app that mimics the visual characteristics of CRTs on today crisp, pixel-perfect LCD screens.
And it's all been done in the interest of historical research, specifically the evolution of videogames.
According to GIT Associate Professor Ian Bogost, emulation software is all very well at allowing modern historians to examine old videogames, but they don't give you the true feel of playing an arcade game or 8-bit computer programme, all of which were orginally displayed on CRTs, either monitors or TVs.
More to the point, many of them were written to take advantage of the quirks of CRT display technology.
To change that, GIT coders Edward Booth, Michael Cook, Justin Dobbs, Will Rowland and Prince Yang took the open souces Atari VCS 2600 emulator Stella and tweaked the graphics routines to emulate phosphor glow, colour bleed and the noise associated with hooking a CRT up to a source through an radio-frequency modulator.
Pics posted by Bogost on the GIT website show how well the team managed to recreate the look of CRT on LCD, but he said you really appreciate the difference when you play the games.
Oldsters will be able to relive youths misspent in arcade halls, while younger players will get to game the way their dads did. Researchers into videogame history will be able to see games how they would have appeared when released.
Bogost said the five coders were working with the Stella development team to get their modifications incorporated into the emulator's official release. You can download Stella here.
We're anticipating the code being incorporated into a future Blu-ray Disc playback app to allow the latest HD movies to be viewed in VHS-o-Vision. ®

"He made, you know? As he always does. He made it look good. He made it look easy. But that jump was frickin' huge. I'm sure driving towards that jump at 105 miles per hour it looked like a toothpick. And it wasn't steep – it was only angled at 10 degrees – but at 105 miles per hour it probably looked like a Supercross triple jump."
This was Jeremy McGrath, seven-time Supercross Champion and member of the Greaves Motorsports Monster Energy/Toyota Off-Road teammate, making sense of it all a few minutes after Johnny Greaves – the most prolific driver in close-course racing history – had lofted his 3,800-pound PRO 2WD truck over a mind boggling gap of 301-feet to set a new World Record.
It all began on blustery Friday morning, December 18, 2009, when the Greaves Team, working out of a drafty barn nestled on McGrath's ranch on the FAR outskirts of San Diego, California, switched out a 500 gear to a 488 gear to conjure up enough top-end out of the 351 cubic inch, 800-horsepower Toyota NASCAR Camping World Truck Series engine to push the beastly Toyota towards the heavens – and more importantly – over a 180-foot gap and towards the 300-foot mark.
It didn't come easy for Greaves and the Toyota as variables such as wheel spin, revolutions per minute, traction, wind and peak horsepower at the peak time (at the peak of the jump) all had to be factored into a certain ad hoc calculus and tweaked with before the Wisconsin native finally, after several attempts, came up aces high at the 301 mark. An hour later and in a small ranch house, we spoke with a happy and admittedly relived Greaves.
Johnny, it's been about an hour since you touched down with a new World Record of 301 feet. How do you feel? Do you feel happy? Do you feel like you've pulled off a huge accomplishment? What's going through your head? I'd have to assume it's a different feeling than winning a race?
Yeah. It's a whole special prize in itself. You know it's a whole special prize in itself. You know, it's all that stuff. I was relived. I didn't want to stop until I got it done. I really thought we were close enough to get it done. At the same, I didn't know how many times you could push that button! So, I was relived to finally get it done and I'm totally pumped. I was beginning to think we weren't going to get it today. I just said, "All right. A couple more shots and this is all she's got."
It took you a number of attempts to set the record. What was happening? I know Shaggy (Toyota engine tech) showed me the telemetry of the engine after each jump and we could see the RPMs and overall powerband of the engine was all over the place…
Yeah, what really helped out was that he showed me that when I short shifted that I got my speed up so much earlier and it gave me the speed at the ramp. Before, I was gaining the speed right at the bottom of the ramp and I needed that five miles per hour going up. I was 104 miles per hour at the bottom of the ramp and then I was able to easily able to pick up that one more mile per hour. We needed to be at 105.5 miles per hour and that's exactly what I hit it at and we got exactly 301 feet. It's pretty cool when you can work with a group of guys that can tell you "this is the ramp we need and this is the speed we need" and it's done.
Does this accomplishment feel different from, say, winning a race?
Oh yeah. This is something that, well, who is going to take it away? Nobody for a while. You know a race is a week-to-week thing and it's great and championships are great, but this is going to go in the record books. It's super to have this kind of accomplishment.
You went 260 feet while practicing on Thursday. When you woke up this morning, did you feel confident about things or were you nervous at all?
I was a little bit nervous. I woke up and I was going to go ride down there and look at the ramp and talk about what we need to do, but my brother was already in Jeremy's horse barn tearing the truck apart and getting the gearing right and I was like, "All right, it's on!" I knew the hardest thing to deal with today was that we moved the ramp back 80 feet, so there was very little room for error or to be able to ease into it. Yesterday I could ease into it. I think the first time I hit the ramp, I hit it at 75 miles per hour and flew 200 feet. But I still plenty of cushion. Today the gap was 200 feet, so anything less than 95 miles per hour and I was going to auger into the face of the landing.
This morning, when you came at the jump at 95 miles per hour and in a wail of 9,200 revolutions per minute – the Truck sounded like a Formula 1 car – to make your first attempt, you lifted a little. How was that first jump? We're just sort of feeling it all out?
We had a plan. Yesterday we didn't jump with the hood on because they really act different with the hood. So on the first jump, I definitely lifted. I wasn't even trying for anything but to get across and get the feel for how the truck was going to react. After two jumps, I really got the feel of how to get the truck to fly and rotate right and how much throttle I needed in the air to keep it somewhat flat with the ground.
So, like a motocross bike, you were using the throttle up in the air to keep the truck balanced. Is that why you used the P2 truck as opposed to the P4 truck?
Yeah, you can really manipulate the flight of the truck with the rear wheel – just like a dirt bike. I'd actually hit the jump and rag the brake a little bit and get it to flatten out. Once I got the feel for that, then I was like, "All right, I'm good. Wide open!"
After you nailed a couple of jumps, were you like, "I think I can do this if I can just time it up right"?
There was a little bit of wind and when we caught the tailwind just right, it would give me that extra three feet each time. The last time I went, I was like, "This is everything she's got" I got on the road just right, got my speed up just right and was at 105 and a half when I left that ramp. It rotated right so the front wheels would land first and it worked out.
Right from when you dropped the truck in gear, can you explain how the final run went?
Yeah – I don't even know how long the road was, it had to be three-quarters of a mile long – but the dirt way back in the woods was so soft that first gear was just like "WAAAAHHHH!" I couldn't get hooked-up. So then I short shifted to second to try to load the power and try and get hooked up. So I just short shifted and just let it eat in third as long as I could. That's what I did. I had to keep the powerband up over 7000 RPM because these motors like to stay up there. But man, that's a long way to stay wide open.
What did the jump look like when you were heading at it, pell-mell, at 105 mils per hour?
It looked like a house in front of me. And then when you'd hit it, you were up there so high that I couldn't even see the ravine or the valley until the truck started rotating down and where the mark was. I knew, "Okay, I'm getting close to the mark." It was cool. Originally I didn't want the truck to be that high in the air, but once we did it, it looked so cool I was like, "It looks so cool, we've got to be that high." For anyone to appreciate it, that really shows the distance and the height.
Has any obstacle you've come across in racing compared to this?
No. Thrill-wise, this was the greatest thrill. It's almost scary because it was kind of getting god to me, you know? (Laughter). But I kept saying to myself "You're not going to get away with this for 10 laps!" So I finally said, "Let's get it over with and hold it wide open and do it." It's the greatest thrill I've ever had. You can't believe how long you're in the air and just up in there in this massive truck floating through the air.
What if what you did today sets off a jumping war, would you go out and do it again?
I think so. Maybe next year or something. Now I'll be able to sleep the week before because I've done it. I'm not a stuntman or a jump guy, but Monster gave me the opportunity to do this and I took it.
You're 2009 TORC racing season was pretty up-and-down. Does the record make up for some of the off-song results?
You know I'm the type of guy that likes to win a lot and I had one of those seasons where I didn't win much. I won three races. But I go back at it and we had a lot of races where we could have won, but we had a new truck. I kind of just wiped that slate clean and this is like my new beginning. This is the beginning of 2010, so look out boys!

Women have been earning more undergraduate degrees than men in the U.S. for at least 30 years, according to U.S. Census data.
But you might not know that to look at the ranks of college commencement speakers this year.
Of a sampling of more than six dozen speakers at U.S. colleges and universities this spring reviewed by MarketWatch, more than two-thirds, are men. At Ivy League schools, the disparity is even wider. Only two of the eight Ivy league schools are featuring women as commencement or class-day speakers.
Two speakers have been forced to bow out of commencements in the wake of student and faculty protests. Christine Lagarde withdrew from Smith College's ceremony amid student and faculty protests of the IMF. Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, will be replaced by former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean at the Rutgers ceremony on Sunday.
In addition, another prominent woman commencement speaker, Jill Abramson, was just ousted from her job as executive editor of the New York Times. She's slated to speak at Wake Forest University's ceremony on Monday.
Only one man has been forced to withdraw so far this commencement season, former UC Chancellor Robert J. Birgeneau, who was scheduled to speak at Haverford's ceremony.
See map below for a look at where some of the more notable commencement addresses by women have occurred or will occur this spring.

The resignations in the last 2-3 weeks of the CEO and chairman of the Cattlemen's Beef Board (CBB) put the checkoff into a position where trust can be regained. The resignations hopefully will also prevent the checkoff from again serving as the base from which to launch political attacks.
But the resignations merely put us in a position to begin to address some of the real and substantive issues that do exist. They don't fix the problem.
The bottom line is the checkoff has been a huge success, the state beef councils and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA), the primary contractor, have done great work on behalf of the industry and building beef demand. The program is underfunded, however, and more dollars are needed to accomplish what is needed to be done.
That means we have to remove the obstacles that are real around the checkoff. Some of those – like avoiding a situation where the executive committee pursues an agenda contrary to the industry's interests – are structural and would require a change to the Act & Order; similar to what would be required to raise the checkoff assessment.
Before anyone would want to attempt that type of change, the industry has to build a strong consensus on the direction it wants to take, and clear up any problems and misgivings. That appears to be a long ways off after recent events, but some sort of industry working group that would look at these issues makes sense.
Beyond making adjustments to the Act to make it more efficient, responsive and effective, there are other issues the industry can begin dealing with today.
Certainly, we need to refocus on the activities the checkoff is designed to do. But that doesn't mean we can't simultaneously look at ways of addressing the concerns people have about the checkoff. The most important thing is to not get bogged down in the red herrings.
The CBB has done a solid job of spending our dollars and ensuring compliance with the Act & Order, and it will continue to do so. When I talk to people with concerns about the checkoff, many of these concerns center around disagreements with NCBA policy and a belief that NCBA is benefitting directly or indirectly by being the checkoff's major contractor.
I'm not sure how this issue is resolved because they are correct that NCBA does benefit from its affiliation with the checkoff. The organization benefits by garnering some of the credit and visibility for being the primary contractor on checkoff projects. And NCBA's participation allows it to more efficiently use its own staff.
But the converse is that NCBA needs some benefits; after all, the organization works on a cost-recovery basis with no ability to profit from checkoff activities. NCBA doesn't even get paid until after their work is completed; not to mention the bureaucratic red tape that's involved in handling checkoff projects.
The bottom line is that there is no other entity to perform this work. And it's difficult to attract others to the job when the process is so cumbersome and presents a proposition that's financially neutral at best. How do we foster or develop the expertise in others to do this type of demand-building work? How do we maintain the efficiency and gains the industry created with this infrastructure? And, finally, how do we get everybody in the industry to step back and look at the big picture of building beef demand?
I don't have all the answers. But I do know there are very good people serving as voluntary leaders who can and will step forward to get us moving forward again.
I'm not naïve. We've seen some of the organizations aligned against NCBA take steps to elevate the drama. And these groups have never been particularly supportive of the checkoff, to say the least. So if the checkoff can't be used as an instrument to damage NCBA, or if the program could possibly even benefit NCBA, then those individuals and organizations are fine with destroying the program.
The industry can't let that happen. Nor can NCBA continue to allow its name and image to be attacked for doing the work no other entity has the capability or inclination to do. The solutions become workable if the intent is to build beef demand in the most effective and inclusive manner as possible; they become unsolvable if the intent is otherwise. Hopefully, now the discussion can return to what it should have been all along.
