Sixteen and pregnant? Theres an app for that.
The Bloomberg administration has launched an app intended to reduce teen pregnancy called Teens in NYC Protection+ that provides a wealth of health data for kids who are or are thinking about becoming sexually active, The Post has learned.
Information about everything from free clinics for HIV and STD testing to receiving condoms and emergency contraception is just a touch away on a smartphone.
The Health Department has yet to publicly announce the app. But the information has been available on the nyc.gov Web site, which has a special section dedicated to teens.
Parents who visit the site are in for a surprising lesson about state law.
Teens in New York state have a legal right to get sexual-health services without the permission of parents, guardians, boyfriends, girlfriends, relatives or anyone else, the site advises.
By comparison, a teen is not allowed to go on a school trip without parental consent.

The good citizens of New York need to launch an app that ships the Nazi Bloomberg one-way to North Korea.
It's ok for teens to have sex. It's the cigarette afterwards that will get you in big trouble.
On call rubber delivery like those stupid Trojan radio ads?
Why is the left obsessed with sex?
Why is the left obsessed with sex?
I used to wonder. But then it occurred to me that it takes n effort at all to have sex. Especially today. They get instant gratification for dropping their pants. But like Cocaine, they have to do more of it because after a while, the act no longer satisfies.
Dogs don't compose music or write novels either. Even if they could, there's too much effort involved. So going with pure animal instinct gets the fastest payoff. With no thought required.
You are right, of course:
Conservatives have better sex than liberals: Report
Forgot one. There's also the "fun factor" of accomplishment in getting their partners to do the most degraded things possible. Then comparing notes.
Sounds like they're moving the old bathroom stall wall scrawl "For a Good Time Call 555-1212" to a mobile app. That's the only thing that would get teenage attention.
I find it odd that a Jew would act so Nazi like. Maybe it's the Napoleon-height thing.
"I find it odd that a Jew would act so Nazi like. Maybe its the Napoleon-height thing."
I contract out my services for Israeli companies on occasion and even the Israelis can't figure out what's going on with some Jews in America. I've had some Jewish peckerheads here on FR calling me anti-semitic because I don't cow-tow to their proper and politically correct view of Jews.
They can kiss my Marine Corps ass.
My chair-force ass as well. (maybe Zoomie in your day)
One should never fear telling the truth...even when it's ugly.

Neuvirth continues dominance over Habs
The skinny: Washington backup goaltender Michal Neuvirth was the difference as the Capitals defeated the Canadiens 3-2 Tuesday night at the Bell Centre. Neuvirth made 27 saves to post his fourth win of the season. But it wasn't a fluke because he extended his career record against the Canadiens to an impressive 5-2-0.
Lead gets trimmed: The Canadiens continue to hold a one-point lead over Boston in the race for first place in the Northeast Division, but the idle Bruins once again hold a game in hand. Washington held on to first place in the Southeast Division. The Capitals are two points up on Winnipeg and have played one fewer game.
Ovie's the man: The Capitals got on the board when Alex Ovechkin beat Price at 7:50 of the second period. Ovechkin eluded Michael Ryder as he skated parallel to the blue line in search of a shooting lane. He beat Price with a shot to the top corner on the goalie's glove side. Ovechkin has 16 goals in his last 12 games and leads the NHL goal-scoring race with 26, one more than Tampa's Steven Stamkos.
Juggling needs work: Price needed some work on his juggling as he had trouble controlling Jack Hillen's shot which went over his head, hit his skate and caromed into the net for a 2-1 Washington lead at 9:36 of the second period. Hillen was originally credited with the goal, but a scoring change awarded it to Eric Fehr. But Hillen did score what proved to be the winning goal in the third period. It was his first goal since Dec. 6, 2011.
Sticking to it: Brandon Prust was unable to control a pass from Alex Galchenyuk as they drove the net late in the first period. But Prust chased the puck behind the net and set up the trailing Lars Eller, who beat Neuvirth for a 1-0 lead at 15:44. Eller also scored a late third-period goal to make the final score close. Galchenyuk assisted on both goals and has a four-game point streak with two goals and three assists.
Slow start: Montreal was being outshot 9-0 when Rene Bourque had the Canadiens' first shot on goal at 6:22 of the first period.
What's next: The Canadiens are literally heading into a storm as they hit the road to play the Buffalo Sabres Thursday (7 p.m., RDS, TSN-690 Radio) and the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday. Ice pellets, snow and rain are forecast for the Niagara area and southern Ontario through Sunday.

Dressed up, or dressed down with jeans and a tee, these are a MR PORTER & FASHIONSPAM favourite!
Velvet has long had regal associations - in 14th-century England, King Richard II asked that he be buried in the stuff - but its more interesting, bad boy reputation can be traced back to Lord Byron. Painter Mr Richard Westall famously depicted the 19th-century poet wearing burgundy-coloured velvet, and, with the party season upon us, MR PORTER takes an endorsement from one of history's most notorious lovers pretty seriously.
We're not alone in our admiration for soft, tufted cotton, as almost all the designer brands are offering velvet jackets this season. The fabric has long had a louche image, redolent of relaxing with a glass of brandy and a cigar after a formal dinner, or Bond-esque nights out in expensive clubs. It's an image that's been refreshed this season, in that the new velvet jackets come with slim cuts, shorter bodies and softer construction.
However, if the shapes have been refined the classic colours are un-improvable, which is why Acne and Dolce & Gabbana have jackets in a shade of burgundy of which Lord Byron himself would have approved, while bottle green, burnt orange and chocolate brown line up alongside more sober black and blue. Although black and navy blue are the easiest colours to wear there's a strong logic to going for bolder hues, in that as most men already own a navy blue suit, and a black dinner jacket, this is an opportunity to expand the sartorial repertoire.
Whatever colour you go for, a velvet jacket is extremely versatile. Dressed down with jeans and a T-shirt it's right for a weekend lunch, or a casual day in the office, while, at the other end of the spectrum, it can substitute for a tuxedo over a crisp white shirt, black bow tie and tux trousers. No wonder men in search of a good time have been wearing velvet jackets since the days when Lord Byron was scandalising Europe with his bad behaviour.

Introduction From The Editor
The Krista Foundation for Global Citizenship celebrates its tenth year with this Special Edition of The Global Citizen: A Journal for Young Adults Engaging the World through Service. The editorial team invited Krista Colleagues, other service volunteers, and friends of the Foundation to submit suggestions for articles--either previously published in The Global Citizen or elsewhere--that they found contributed significantly to their learning about serving others well and nurturing an active life of global citizenship. We also solicited original articles from authors uniquely qualified to respond to contemporary concerns about the impact of service on the volunteer and on the community being served. Each article reflects candidly on the challenges and hardships that exist in the world today while simultaneously modeling ways to move gracefully through this world. This movement, we've found, can be likened to a dance: a dance of grief, a dance of wry humor, a dance of joy.
Volume 4: Lessons from the Field
Purchase this printed volume or subscribe to read full articles online!
Introduction From The Editor
In this, our fourth edition of The Global Citizen, we have arranged a collection of essays from young service volunteers who have learned rich lessons in the field school of service and global citizenship. We know that an essay is no substitute for personal experience and that many of these lessons can only be truly learned the hard way. So consider this a sort of companion reader for the curriculum of experience as a service volunteer and life as a global citizen.
Volume 3: Come to the Table
Purchase this printed volume or subscribe to read full articles online!
Introduction From The Editor
In an effort to explore the nature of this [service] ethic, we have arranged this issue of The Global Citizen around the metaphor of a table. Tables, be they the tables of our childhood or those of our adult lives, are by their very nature places where we gain our values. Thus, in the first article, "Come to the Table: Five Values for the Global Citizen," I have invited you to explore the nature of this ethic at each of five tables. The values set out at these tables – mutuality, influence, competence, humility, and celebration – are neither a complete nor settled set. One might question why I chose mutuality over sacrifice, community or wonder; or perhaps why hope or change were left out. By sustaining a metaphor of invitation to this series of five tables, I hope to leave space for such questions, indeed space for other tables where this ethic might be further shaped.

Introduction From The Editor
If travel and service are important to the development of leaders who engage society with a sense of civic responsibility, and this in turn helps to build the social capital required for healthy democratic governance and for societies to function well, then the Krista Foundation is doing very well to support young adults who commit themselves to significant periods of travel and service. This edition of the Global Citizen contains eight articles written by "Krista Colleagues" – service volunteers who have received support from the foundation. Their topics range widely, but each article provides a window into the transformative process of which Dr. Hunt writes. Each author grapples with a unique set of issues brought to the surface as they served others in a new place.

Introduction From The Editor
The Krista Foundation for Global Citizenship has sponsored the creation of The Global Citizen to provide a place for an intergenerational exploration of these questions. In particular, we hope to gather together and share specific experiences and reflections from those who are engaging global issues like poverty, race/culture/gender friction, and environmental stress. The majority of our contributors are young Christian activists who have chosen a path of service for the love and hope of humanity and the planet. "Veteran" global citizens, who model ways for living a lifelong ethic of service, have been invited to contribute their experience and wisdom as well.

Apparently Pretending You Work For The NSA May Scare Off Potential Muggers
from the warning:-do-not-try-this-at-home dept
"I told him that the NSA could track the phone within minutes, and it could cause possible problems for him," the victim recounted.I once heard a story (possibly apocryphal) of someone who knew someone who lived in a neighborhood known for semi-frequent muggings. He once got mugged, and immediately responded by just yelling "the refrigerators are coming! the refrigerators are coming!" and it apparently confused/frightened the mugger enough to send him running off as well. This is not to say that either of these techniques are recommended. While it's likely that jittery muggers may simply cut bait and run when faced with anything that leads to confusion or questioning, it is also possible that such actions could lead to a very different kind of attack as well. Still, at least in this instance, there's apparently a story of how the news about the NSA may have actually helped someone.
The NSA has been in the spotlight this year due to controversial and far-reaching intelligence-gathering programs it had kept hidden from public knowledge.
Perhaps wary of just how far the NSA would go to keep its assets safe, the assailant just "looked at me and ran away," the victim said.

Walla, the most popular news site in Israel, noted Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau's visit of Mr. Adnan Oktar in an item published on the 26th of October, 2011. (You can watch Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview with Chief Rabbi Lau on A9 television from here.)
Some highlights from the item were as such:
… Oktar leads the movement of reviving Islam, which is well-known in the Turkish public, and has hundreds of works dedicated to oppose the theory of evolution and about science and faith under the pseudonym of "Harun Yahya". He has hosted Israeli government officials such as Deputy Minister Ayoob Kara and attempted to organize a meeting between Rabbi Yoel Shwartz, the founder of Nahal Haredi, and the President of Iran Mahmud Ahmedinejad.
Oktar's representatives tried to encourage a movement of cooperation between peoples of religion during the summer season. Intermediaries invited Eli Yishai, Minister of Internal Affairs and the Leader of Shas which represents the Judaism movement, and Chief Rabbi of Israel, Shlomo Amar to visit Turkey. Rabbi Lau also visited Mr. Adnan Oktar in his Istanbul mansion last Tuesday.
Rabbi Lau said, "Now we should agree here to solve disputes through communication so that no blood is shed". Both of them –Rabbi Lau and Adnan Oktar- said they long for the coming of the Mashiach (Messiah) together.
This article was also published in many other news sites in Israel. Some of these are:

I really hate having to bite my tongue.... but COME ON!!!!!!!
I found this delightful picture on my Facebook Newsfeed, along with other peoples comments on Muslims, both Radical and Moderate...and I'm sitting there with a couple of thoughts that I want to express, but feel like the cost is more than the benefit.
1.) Did the author of this motherfecking picture know that it's the same God? Islam and Christianity are both faiths branched off of Judaism. C'mon! At least know some frakkin' history!
2.) A lot of people don't know what's in their own book... the bible also punishes rape victims, is cool with selling your daughters, and wants to you to make sure no one who doesn't believe in THEIR God is involved in their lives whatsoever. It's not like the bible is a kindly book, it isn't.
3.) Maybe Christians should take a look at what happened the Middle East, once the center of knowledge and learning, and then understand that conservative Christians could do the same to the U.S. Considering how adaptability has influenced my country, the fact that there are people telling us to grind to a stop because they're mildly offended by things that aren't any of their business. Considering Christianities mission to continue to treat same sex couples as some sort of 2nd class citizens, considering what's written in their own book....gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. *melts down*
I know it shouldn't be annoying, but it is. Mostly because a lot of the time it doesn't feel like it's worth the time or effort to deal with the reactions to my response, but I want to respond.
Views: 609
Brandi, I could not disagree with you more. Religion is the cause of all this suffering, torture, bigotry, dysfunction. Just look at the principles: They claim some energy created Earth 6,000 +- years ago, and made the elements in an order that makes no sense to sensible people. Man was made from dust and woman from man's rib, their delusions include their spirit giving birth to a human through a virgin and he became a sacrificial lamb for mankind, who were denounced by their maker for being who they were. (Shades of Mary Shelley's Frankenstei). His blood is supposed to save us from our sins. Excuse me! "our sins! Outrageous. And now religious people kill each other over whose god is greater, torture women and use them as chattel. Sacrifice young girls to old men for their pleasure and crucify women for being women.
My gosh! how more corrupt, insane, evil can their stories get?
The men and women who can see the delusions and denials can see beyond the traditions of 6,000 years ago and the Bronze Age sheep herders who destroyed the feminine energy of the Neolithic age and took control and created the notion of dominion over all that swims, crawls and flies. Religion is an institution of men and women who use fear to control and offer promises of some delusional heaven for following orders. No thank you. I refute all claims of religion.
Human beings are fully capable of having morals, of recognizing their bodies provide the information needed to be fully human, and our brain capacity takes us to a whole new level of being. We can stop warring. We can start empowering people to flourish ... and we all flourish.
Of course it should be annoying. It is worth the time and effort to deal with such insanity. You will be criticized, ostracized, called names, trivialized, discounted, demonized! So what? What you write must be said, loudly, clearly, concretely, and often. Being silent never solved these problems and never will. You have the wisdom, courage and compassion to speak your truth.
They're 13, 11, 6, and 1, but they don't think I'm evil. I don't think they even know I'm an Atheist because I follow a strict rule of never discussing religion with children that aren't my own. I told my friend that it's her right as a parent as long as she isn't using religion to be abusive. Patience and compromise is the best way I can handle the situation, and it's something that has to be done in life sometimes.
Kris, it's mostly for peacekeeping. I'm quite comfortable with stirring up trouble on Facebook, it's just the possibility of losing my best friend and my nieces that I'm not comfortable with.
Rachel, your desire to reply is a compelling reason for replying, especially if you can express your anger at someone more powerful than you.
Because, as we who are in serious politics know, if the more powerful person's response to you doesn't destroy you, it will make you stronger.
You won't become a stronger player, at any sport you name, by competing with lesser players. Therefore, don't waste your energy by expressing your anger at someone less powerful.
Kris, I would if it were that simple however I've had an...issue... where I don't feel comfortable with replying on FB. It sucks and all that, but yeah....
Maybe this is throwing gasoline on the fire but:
Frankly, BOTH religions are guilty of treating women as second-class citizens. One of them is just more outre' about it, at least in some places.
I've said this many times, and I see no point in stopping now: when we see religionists behaving like this, CALL THEM ON IT. Don't let their bigotry and chauvinism go unanswered. On top of that, empowering women is the key to energizing society and reducing poverty, if not eliminating it altogether.
If some limp-dick believers don't like that, that's their tough luck.

ReleasesBack to
James Spaulding
This double CD reissues the two LP volumes titled The Night of the Cookers. Since these performances (four lengthy workouts ranging from 19-24 minutes apiece) were taken from a club date that matched together the trumpets of Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan (along with James Spaulding on alto and flute, pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Larry Ridley, drummer Pete La Roca, and the congas of Big Black), this should have been a classic. However Morgan sounds quite subpar, the recording quality is just passable, the individual solos are stretched out far too long, and the overall results are a major disappointment. ~ Scott Yanow

Symphony introduces children to music
Children were cheering by the time "Yankee Doodle" flashed on the screen at Friday's Programs for Children, sponsored by the Starkville-Mississippi State University Symphony Orchestra.
"Ten American Songs" delighted "standing room only" audiences in Bettersworth Auditorium in Lee Hall on the MSU campus Friday. Three concerts designed to introduce elementary students throughout Oktibbeha County to orchestral music, featured a variety of instruments.
The score for "Ten American Songs" was written by Dr. Michael Brown, conductor for the Starkville-MSU Symphony Orchestra. Dr. Brown made sure specific instruments were highlighted in each segment of the orchestra at least once throughout the "Ten American Songs."
And the students had a wonderful time. Familiar songs representing various elements of American history was brought to life by the Starkville-MSU Symphony Orchestra, a PowerPoint presentation and MSU students acting out and leading the singing.
For the first time, audiences were invited to sing along to the orchestra. Songs such as "Hush Little Baby," "Oh Susanna!" "Yankee Doodle" and "I've Been Workin' On the Railroad were among the favorites at Friday's presentation.
Dr. Joe Ray Underwood, one of the organizers for the Programs for Children event sponsored by the Starkville-MSU Symphony Orchestra, said the event was "the total package."
"The familiar music, MSU students leading the crowd to sing, the power point presentation and the costumed MSU students illustrating the songs, it was a great way to get the kids involved," Underwood said.
Elementary education students from Dr. Karen Brown's "Creative Arts in Elementary Education" course performed elements of the familiar songs as a class project.
As part of the project, the MSU students had to find ways to illustrate and communicate elements of the songs in a creative way to the audience. The class is designed to encourage future teachers to find creative ways to incorporate music, drama, art and dance in the classroom.
Friday's program was provided by a grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.
MSU's Day One students and volunteers from the Starkville Civic League, also played important roles in Friday's programming.

Media Statements & Speeches
Commissioner John R. Norris Statement
April 18, 2013
Docket No. RM13-5-000
Item No. E-7
CIP Reliability Standards
As I vote on the CIP Version 5 notice of proposed rulemaking, I am mindful of the hard work of NERC, industry, and Commission staff in bringing these reliability standards before the Commission today. This is a major effort and I am cognizant of the tremendous responsibility that mandatory standards place on industry to help ensure that the countrys electric grid is protected from cyber attack. We are essentially requiring private industry to support a national defense effort by contributing its time and money to protect the cyber security of the electric grid.
To accomplish this massive undertaking, we must provide industry with the necessary tools. Frontline workers who will actually implement cyber security standards must have clearly defined requirements to help protect the grid from cyber attack. Right now, I am focused on implementation rather than compliance. While I believe that compliance with Reliability Standards is crucial, I also believe that, on whole, industry fundamentally wants to do the right thing. We must do everything possible to help industry succeed. CIP Version 5 will advance those aims but this will be an ongoing, evolving process because cyber threats are constantly evolving. The Commission, NERC, and industry must continue our efforts to address this threat.
Thank you to industry, NERC, and FERC staff for your work on this important rulemaking.

Andrew Higginson played very well to lead Marco Fu 4-0 and both Neil Robertson and Ali Carter showed glimpses of their best form but, overall, it wasn't great stuff.
This happens at every tournament, indeed in every sport.
Today, Ronnie O'Sullivan returns to action after losing his epic Masters final to Mark Selby at Wembley nine days ago.
It seems if you so much as mention Ronnie you upset someone, so I'll just say I hope he produces a performance he is satisfied with.
Dave Harold has beaten Stephen Hendry four times but his last win came just over a decade ago.
It was Harold who Hendry beat shortly after fracturing a bone in his elbow (or breaking his arm as the headlines screamed at the time) at the 1994 World Championship.
Hendry has declined as a force but is still a big draw. Next month, he will face Ding Junhui in a best of 25 frames televised match in Beijing – no short formats for them, they prefer proper matches – to be screened on 110sport.tv.
But the legendary Scot doesn't want to be merely applauded as one of the game's elder statesmen. He wants to win and, after a disappointing defeat to Martin Gould at Newport last year, will be highly focused against the Stoke potter.
Shaun Murphy has dealt Matthew Stevens two massive blows, both at the Crucible.
In 2005, he beat him 18-16 in the final. Three years ago he came from 12-7 down to edge the Welshman 13-12 in the quarter-finals and relegate him from the top 16.
Stevens scrapped over the line against Barry Pinches but there needn't be much read into this. First rounds are often about falling over the line.
However, Stevens has a poor record in his home event. He hasn't reached the last 16 of the Welsh Open since 2006 and will need to produce something to see off Murphy, who finished runner-up in Newport that same year.

Big Stu is 3-0 down in a ranking event on live tv and misses a blue to middle whilst trying to cannon a red and Joe Johnson says:
he didnt need to play the fancy cannon
well, pardon me Joe, but i dont think he tried anything fancy at all. hes in there fighting for ranking points and im sure the last thing he was trying was a bit of exhibitioning.
Saying that Stu has been very poor so far. Bit like Joes comments.
Wish Dave did all the matches (himself)

The match between Hendry and Ding sounds great, I wish we had more long matches in ranking tournaments.
Dave, do you know what's up with Marco Fu? After a great couple of years his form seems to have disappeared.

Ronnie closed that match with a majestic 76. Overall, he was patchy though and has a tough draw here on in.

Ronnie was terrible for most of that match yet still won easily. Doesnt say much for Stu though...

RoS was poor, but winning when playing badly is the sign of a good player I think!
On a separate note, the crowds look worse than sparse. Are the tickets too expensive, or is it just a general lack of interest? The way things are going this could be the last Welsh Open for some time, which would be a pity.

Anon 5:17, the tickets for Monday afternoon were £6.00, I was surprised that more people didn't turn out to support Matthew. For the rest of the week the tickets are £10.00 or £12.00 for the afternoon or evening sessions. Back in the day when Regal were sponsers, you could get into the early rounds for a couple of quid and watch a full day's snooker.
It's not just Newport though, attendances look sparse in the early rounds of most ranking tournaments. Most people presumably are happy to watch it for free at home rather than pay a tenner to watch it in person.
- 8:23 pm
One of the big draw backs this year is that the event is 3 weeks earlier. It's still January and most of Wales, like everyone else, is totally skint after Christmas.
Also last year the tournament fell on the half term holiday so all the kids were there all and families having days out.
This week the kids, hopefully, are in school and therefore can't come until the weekend. And probably therefore a lot of parents have said "we'll go with the kids at the weekend".
£12 is a lot of dosh to someone from the Valleys on the dole. Plus their travel costs of course.

Well what about the Hendry v Harold match? Match of the day surely? It's been a long time since we've seen Hendry play that well, devastating!
As an (obvious) Hendry supporter, it was great to see, but the real difference this time, was that his overall game was in great shape; his long potting was reminiscent of days gone by, his recovery shots to keep breaks going were going in, there was none of the unforced errors we've become accustomed to seeing. Would love to know what his match stats were ie; pot success, long pots, early in the match it was at 98% and I don't remember him missing much after that.
I do have a question for Dave though, (or more of an observation) do you think it might be anything to do with the new cue?? I know the cue doesn't make the man, but possibly the new cue has given him the impetuous to drive forward again, there is certainly a marked difference in his long potting. Willy Thorne remarked at the UK that it was strange that all his long pots were being missed on the thick side. I noticed at the Masters that he was playing better than he had for a while (with the new cue) , unfortunately so was Murphy! He got close to winning that match and but for a fluked blue, it would have been a final frame decider and any one's game. Also, at the Championship League (although the results didn't show it - 5 losses, 1 win!) he played well, his long pots were going in and the unforced errors weren't there. Had it been the longer format matches (which suit him more) I believe he would have done better, even the great Ronnie O Sullivan never made it passed the group stages.
As I said, more an observation, just wondered if anyone else noticed too? Long may it continue, whatever the reason!!

He's never really been the same since his cue got broke (2003 British Open final excepted)
- 11:15 am
Was really annoyed last night watching eurosport.
When hendry/harold went for interval at 4-0 ,the coverage switched to day/drago which was great!
The atmosphere was great plenty of oohs aahs and c'mons - brilliant.
Then DISASTER - they decide to switch from a great match with drago 4-3 up and switch back to hendry/harold. no disrespect to harold ,but why leave a great match going all the way to watch a one sided affair and harold trying for 3 snookers on the pink?

- jamie brannon said...
Although the cue was clearly a blow, it is more an age thing why Hendry has lost his way a fair bit. Even if he had his old cue I don't think he would have been winning much in the last four years. Don't forget he has won the Premier League, Malta Cup and been in a UK final since that incident. Also some of the stuff at the Crucible he played this year was vintage.
- 2:17 pm
...because those of us who had tuned in and watched Hendry take that lead wanted to watch the end of the match, whehter it took place ten minutes after the interval, or 2 hours after it.
id have thought the answer to your question was very obvious!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Last weekend, MIT's men's swimming team hosted Tufts University, Wheaton College and Roger Williams University in the annual Charlie Batterman Relays. The Engineers rocked the waters of the Zesiger Center, winning all nine events. MIT's women fared equally as well, as the two teams combined for eighteen wins and twelve meet records.
While no official team scores were recorded, the meet provided an opportunity for swimmers to showcase their talents before the competitive season. MIT seniors Jeff Zhou and Luke Cummings had a stellar day, as each participated in five of the nine victories. Freshman Wyatt Ubellacker was the most stand-out rookie, as he contributed to four MIT victories.
The Engineers will compete in their first head-to-head match on Saturday, November 21, when they face Bowdoin College and Babson College on the road at Bowdoin.

Upon Further Review: The FAQ
Basics for people who don't know what the hell I'm talking about, buddy, when I do UFRs. Endeavoring to have this heavily linked in them for future usefulness.
What's a "technique"? What's a one-tech, three-tech? What the hell are you talking about, buddy?
"Techniques" refer to where defensive linemen line up relative to the offensive line. As with all good indexing systems, it starts with zero, which is head-up over the center, and increases the farther you get away from the center. Helpful diagram:
In Michigan's current 4-3 under there are 1 and 3 technique defensive tackles on opposite sides of the center, and then Michigan aligns its DEs differently based on the formation of the opponent.
Basically: 1-tech = 4-3 nose tackle, 3-tech = 4-3 defensive tackle, 0-tech = 3-4 style 350 pound space eater nose tackle.
What's the difference between strongside, weakside, playside, and backside?
Strongside and weakside are pretty self-explanatory: if there's a tight end (or two) in the game or an offset H-back/fullback, the side with more players on it is the strongside and the other side is the weakside.
Here, the strongside is to the top of the screen as that's where Kevin Koger is aligned. Some formations don't have a strong or weak side.
Playside is basically the direction the play is run in, and is important on stretch plays mostly. If the offense is running to the right, the right is the playside and the left is the backside. These terms usually get mentioned in the following ways:
- The "backside" defensive end is the player who doesn't get blocked by the defense and is instead read by the quarterback.
- I'll often refer to a good block by an interior lineman, usually the center, as sealing a guy "lined up playside of him". What this means is that the defender lined up outside of the OL—closer to the area where the running back will attempt to cut the ball up—and still sealed him away.
- Other blocks will be described as an OL "getting playside" or failing to do the same, which basically means the OL gets between the DL and his attempt to flow down the line of scrimmage and tackle as the back cuts up.
What is cover one, two, three, zero?
Cover X describes how many players are playing in a deep zone. Here's a look at a conservative cover three out of the 3-3-5 stack:
And here's a cover two out of a 4-3:
Higher X means a more conservative pass defense and more holes open underneath as more defenders are dedicated to the deep area of the field. Note that cover two usually has two deep safeties on the hashes and cover 1 or 3 usually makes do with one, using the other safety in a shorter zone or as a run defender or blitzer.
There's also a variation of cover three called "quarter-quarter-halves" where there are three deep defenders but one is tasked with half the field and the other two split the other half. This is usually a response to formations with lots of receivers on one side of the field.
What's this route you named?
- Flare: running back originally lined up in the backfield runs mostly parallel to the LOS and receives a pass behind said LOS.
- Flat: usually a slot receiver or TE but can also be a fullback or RB. Basically a really short out route that attempts to exploit cover three, which usually doesn't have defenders out there. Example.
- Out: player runs some distance downfield and then takes a hard 90 degree cut to the sideline.
- In: player runs some distance downfield and takes a hard 90 degree cut to the middle of the field.
- Drag: TE or slot receiver drags across the field maybe a yard to three downfield. Usually a checkdown that comes open late if it does at all.
- Slant: Outside WR runs diagonally up the field into an area that should be good against either man or zone coverage. Usually a short route good for 6-8 yards.
- Fly: also "go": receiver runs as fast as he can straight down the field.
- Seam: basically a fly route run by an interior receiver. Called a seam because usually there are deep middle safeties and the quarterback has to find the seam in the zone between the linebackers and said safeties.
- Post: variant of fly where after 10-20 yards, depending on the coverage, the receiver breaks his go route to the inside at a 30-45 degree angle.
- Corner: A post that breaks to the outside, usually run by slots or tight ends.
- Circle: route with an inside feint on which the receiver comes to a stop and then breaks to an out. This usually results in something of a circular path. Michigan won the Notre Dame game with one. Example.
- Wheel. Running back hauls ass out of the backfield, running what looks at first like a flare route before turning it up as he nears the sideline to attack areas a wide receiver has already dragged through to clear out a zone. Example.
- Bubble screen. Slot receiver runs parallel to the line of scrimmage in an effort to get behind the block of the outside receiver and spring downfield for 6-10 yards.

'Comedy is a good way to scream,' says John Safran, 'Jew detective'
Hanging out with neo-Nazis and ISIS supporters is just another day at the office for John Safran. That a Jewish bloke from Melbourne would choose to spend time in the company of extremists is not so surprising.
Safran first appeared on Australian television streaking in Jerusalem, wearing only a St Kilda scarf and beanie. He famously turned the camera on Ray Martin and tabloid journalism when he rummaged through Martin's garbage. His last book, Murder in Mississippi, covered the death of a klansman in the deep American south. Perpetually drawn to conflict, he manages to be simultaneously laugh-out-loud funny and irreverent while addressing serious issues.
We're dining at the City Wine Shop, which he chose because it provides a great view of goings-on across the road. Turning up to a protest one day, he was confronted with a very strange picture of his hometown. "The first rally I went to I walked up from Parliament Station and all these spots I was so familiar with, suddenly there are all these police in modern riot gear. And it just looked so weird ... skinheads on the street ... I thought, I want to follow this down the rabbit hole."
Before we head there with him, we need to order. I opt for the pasta with pumpkin, ricotta and pine nuts, he orders the schnitzel with coleslaw.
Safran is charming and intense; he listens carefully, speaks quickly and is clearly passionate about his subject matter. He's intrigued by the recent conflicts in Australia, the so-called race wars and the various factions within. Originally inspired by the anniversary of the Cronulla riots, his latest offering is called Depends What You Call An Extremist: Going Rogue with Australian Deplorables. While the anniversary proved a non-event, other, similarly motivated tribes were gathering and tensions were simmering, all of which provided rich fodder for the book.
In 2015, he went along to one of the first "race rallies" in Melbourne.
"I got here and started sending sarcastic tweets about how multi-ethnic the far right was compared with what was being promised. Most people were fine and thought it was funny and whatever but there was this weird, minor blowback, like 'why are you showing this, why are you reporting on this?' I could tell there was this tension. Why are people shitty with me? The fact that people were getting annoyed, I feel like I am definitely right and they are wrong, so I followed that path."
Further digging revealed recurring religious themes in the conversation, "which I reckon a regular person mightn't be as attuned to". In a society that doesn't regularly discuss religion - same sex marriage debate aside - he found it fascinating to hear so many people referring to the Messiah.
"All this stuff that Aussies don't talk about generally because they've come from generations of families who might only ever turn up to church for Christmas or Easter. They really compartmentalise religion."
Putting himself in the thick of it - whether getting drunk with neo-Nazis or communing with klansmen - is his MO. "If I did some droll sitting at home taking the piss out of everyone, I don't think people would accept it as much. I reckon I come across as such a smartarse, I can be somewhere with a white supremacist who has killed 17 people and I'll write some snarky comment and people reading it will be like, 'Who is this arsehole John Safran?'. He's making fun of the white supremacist murderer, that's a bit mean."
Physically getting involved and engaged creates a different narrative and makes people respond differently: "I think when I'm actually there I get more forgiveness. [People think] he bothered to turn up."
The waitress interrupts to ask if we want a glass of wine. "Your food is in its photo shoot," she says; it's a red for him and white for me.
At the top of his website is the headline "John Safran, top Jew detective". It sounds like a gag yet encapsulates him perfectly; sleuthing has been his focus for years, using a combination of investigative and new journalism. "I'm absolutely using the tools of journalism but even though I do that, I am coming from more of a creative perspective, that's what driving me more. It's not as though if I couldn't do this I'd write a Quarterly Essay about the issues involved." (He'd be more likely to play guitar and sing if he could, he says, if it made a big impact on an audience.)
Popularised in the '60s by the likes of Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson, new journalism involves immersing yourself with the subject of a story. Thompson famously did so with the Hells Angels. A prolific reader, Safran is reading Norman Mailer's The Fight. (He loves Mailer's ability to inform through his writing, citing the example that boxers need to earn how to absorb punches as well as how to punch.) Truman Capote's In Cold Blood is another favourite.
"That's what one of the jokes is, no matter what [the story] is, somehow I make it about me, but it's kinda cool because it's self-aware. It doesn't have that Aussie thing where you constantly downplay it, or chip away at it."
Curious by nature, Safran is drawn to this type of event. Apparently that's always been the case. ("I've been into racists since high school," he quips.) As he gets older he reckons all storytellers have the one book in them and songwriters the one song. This conflict thing is his schtick. "Now I realise the audience is just people who like that I kind of tippy toe into the little shadows and ??? then come back and show what I found."
Humour provides levity for the inherently difficult and often ugly nature of what he writes about. He likens it to Jewish comedy after World War II. "It's not like when Mel Brooks dresses up as Hitler, he takes down anyone, it's more like the world's mad and it's good to scream. Comedy's a good way to scream. I think my book, that's more where I'm coming from. At the moment there's this real frantic energy running through the world, and Melbourne too, and me personally."
He believes comedy has been commandeered, that people today think it has to have a point. "I blame it on Jon Stewart [of The Daily Show], he's ruined everything. He presented this watertight, opening line at the top, and then it's like ??? proving the case. And then people start thinking that's the point of comedy. It becomes this weird thing, it becomes 'how many scalps did he get?' People start justifying Stewart or Stephen Colbert on, you know 'this conservative politician had to quit'."
Our conversation is wide-ranging and by the end of lunch we've covered admin, his old sparring partner Father Bob ("He was a bit freaked out by the book, thought it was really scary") and the disruption of the media ("it drives me crazy that people on Twitter are being citizen journalists; a few years ago there was such cockiness, 'oh it's fine newspapers are dying' ").
Social media plays a fundamental role in orchestrating the rallies and protests; it allows like-minded people to connect and commune in unprecedented ways. Before Facebook, "they would have had to start with the harsh reality that they could only get seven people to turn up to this pub, now they can do these things on social media, they could really develop momentum".
"The extreme groups can really latch onto that in the same way that women on Instagram will into existence that they're a model - and then they are a model. With the far right it was like that, you had these young men who willed into existence that they were a movement."
When writing the book, Safran admits he was neurotic. "I saw how tribal everyone was and it really was a bit depressing, how people are so happy with violence if it's not [against] their people. I got really ??? really negative, thinking why is everyone assuming everyone is going to come together?"
He was always "on", getting messages day and night from players at both sides of politics. Since the book's release, he has decompressed. "I thought I was being balanced, hanging out with these white nationalists - as balance I'd hang out with these ISIS supporters. Now I'm hanging out with the normies."
There are only two parts in the book "where someone from normal land comes in, like my dad at one point".
If he wrote it again, he'd include more from the non-extremists' perspective. At one stage, he writes about being here at the City Wine Shop, chatting to a waitress. "She's folding up the tables, ready for the new rally. I say to her 'When's the race war starting today?' and she says 'Oh, about midday.' So I think in the next book there will be a bit more normals."

An elderly woman has died after being left without care following a raid on the company that had been looking after her.
Widow Gloria Foster, who was in her early 80s, was taken to Epsom Hospital in Surrey after being found suffering from dehydration and starvation after going nine days without the four daily visits she was supposed to have, according to local newspaper reports.
She had been receiving help in her own home in Banstead from Carefirst24, but Surrey County Council became responsible for her replacement care after a number of its workers were arrested last month.
A county council spokeswoman said: "We're very sad to hear about Mrs Foster's death, and our thoughts are with her family and friends at this difficult time.
"The safety of vulnerable adults is our top priority, which is why this tragic event is already being urgently looked at by the Surrey Safeguarding Adults Board."
She said she was unable to comment on how long Mrs Foster had been left on her own or when she was admitted to hospital.
A spokesman for the UK Border Agency (UKBA), which carried out the arrests last month, said it had met local authorities ahead of the raid to warn them of what they were going to do so they could arrange alternative care for the company's clients.
Its officers arrested six people, including a Mauritian man and a Filipino man and woman, on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and conspiracy to assist foreign nationals at Carefirst24's headquarters in Upper Mulgrave Road, Sutton, on 15 January and at a separate south London address the day before.
All those arrested were later bailed until various dates in April.
A Surrey Police spokeswoman said: "Surrey Police was made aware of concerns surrounding the care of an elderly lady from Banstead.
"The concerns were raised by hospital staff providing treatment to the woman in her 80s at the end of January.
"Officers from the Public Protection Investigation Unit at Surrey Police carried out inquiries and it was deemed that the Surrey Safeguarding Adults Board would be the appropriate agency to investigate further."

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony
|Ladies' Night
Head over to Tony's posh apartment on Feldspar Street in Algonquin, where you'll find Tony in a bit of a tizzy. It seems that Tony has been stood-up by his friend Gracie, and she could very well be missing. Kidnapped, even. Tony is a complete mess here, and even pulls a gun on Luis before holding that very same firearm to his temple, threatening to kill himself. As the drama crescendos, Luis brings things back down to Earth, and agrees to go look for Gracie for Tony. Tony comes along for the ride, and the mission begins in earnest.
Tony and Luis will get into a car, at which point you can begin driving towards yet another helipad located in Liberty City. The idea here is to drive over to the helipad directly over the Booth Tunnel (which gaps the West River from Algonquin to Alderney and back), and as usual, your GPS will get you there easily enough. When you arrive at the gate surrounding the helipad, knock it down or scale the fence, and get into your chopper. Tony will follow suit. The idea here is simple -- use the helicopter to follow a red car that will hopefully bring you to the location of Gracie. After all, she's been kidnapped by some pretty ballsy men, so the only way you're going to find out where she's being held is to follow the red car directly to the source.
Thankfully, the game's broken helicopter controls shouldn't burden you too much during this mission, both because you should be getting somewhat used to them by this point in the game, and because you don't have to partake in any combat here. So, be thankful as you fly around in pursuit of the bright red car. This car's location won't appear on your HUD, so you're going to have to follow it with your own eyes, using the on-screen prompt to zoom the camera in towards the car's location if you happen to lose it. When it reaches the Booth Tunnel towards Alderney, zoom over to the other side of the tunnel in Alderney and wait for the car to emerge. Then, follow it to a parking garage, and then finally to a house in Alderney that presumably holds Gracie. As long as you never get too close to the car with your chopper, tipping off the driver that you're following him, you should be as right as rain in executing this easy, late-game mission.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT received a strong pitching performance from junior Aric Dama (Winfield, Ill.) in game one and then unleashed a 16-hit attack in game two that resulted in a sweep over WPI in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference baseball doubleheader. MIT improved to 18-14 overall and 9-10 in the NEWMAC while WPI fell to 21-15 and 9-9 after the final conference games of the season.
Dama picked up his third win of the season for MIT in the opener, going all the way in the seven-inning contest. He allowed just four hits and one earned run while striking out seven without issuing a walk. Sophomore Eric Johnson (Rutland, Mass.) also went all the way for WPI, giving up eight hits and three earned runs over his six innings on the hill.
MIT opened the game with a run in the bottom of the first when senior Torre Swanson (Redding, Calif.) led the game off with a single, eventually making his way to third with two down. Junior Ricardo Perez (Vienna, Va.) then brought him in with a single. Freshman K.J. Parent (Knoxville, Tenn.) made it 2-0 in the second with a home run to left.
Sophomore David Trujillo (Sutton, Mass.) reached on an error to start the third for WPI, which then proceeded to load the bases on a hit batter and an infield single. Senior Nick Bean (Middleboro, Mass.) then became the second batter hit in the inning, forcing in the first WPI run.
MIT got the run back in the bottom of the inning when Swanson led off again with a single, moved to second on a sacrifice and then stole third. Sophomore Creed Mangrum (Sandy, Utah) legged out an infield hit that was not able to score Swanson, and proceeded to steal second, beating the throw to the bag. The throw down was high and got away, allowing Swanson to trot home to put MIT back up by two.
WPI got back to within one in the fourth when senior Mitch McClune (Pembroke, Mass.) was hit by a pitch and eventually came around to score on a wild pitch. MIT answered with a run in the fifth when freshman Karl Sorensen (Blacksburg, Va.) led off with a single and eventually reached third on a sacrifice and a ground out, coming home on a WPI fielding error. Dama then finished the game off by retiring the last six hitters he faced.
MIT scored in the first inning of game two as well, getting back-to-back doubles from sophomore Sean Karson (Winter Park, Fla.) and senior Bryan Macomber (Los Altos, Calif.). MIT scored three more times in the third to go up 4-0, getting RBI singles from Karson and Mangrum, with another run scoring on a wild pitch.
Senior Kyle Bartosik (Manchester, N.H.) got WPI back in the game with a two-run single in the fourth. In the fifth WPI tied it up, getting another two-out, two-run base hit, this time off the bat of Trujillo to make it 4-4.
In the bottom half of the inning MIT broke the game open with five runs as it batted around. Mangrum and Perez started the inning off with a single and a double before Macomber was hit by a pitch to load the bases. That brought sophomore Sam Miraglia (West Babylon, N.Y.) out of the WPI bullpen to face freshman Hayden Cornwell (Newport Beach, Calif.). He hit into a force play to bring home one run, with junior James McKinney (Wakefield, R.I.) and senior A.J. Hansborough (Deltona, Fla.) following with run-scoring singles that made it 7-4. Swanson then finished off the scoring with a two-out, two-run double down the left field line.
Sophomore Brandon Lowe (Brier, Wash.) came out of the bullpen to get the final out of the fifth inning and wound up picking up his third victory of the season. Junior Henry Zhu (Overland Park, Kan.) blanked WPI over the final four innings, allowing three hits while striking out four.
Senior Chris Hendrix (Richardson, Texas) started for MIT and went 4.2 innings, allowing nine hits and four runs while striking out four and walking three. Freshman Andrew Portera (Alpharetta, Ga.) was the starter and loser for WPI, allowing nine hits and seven runs over four innings, striking out one.
MIT will host Fisher College on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. in its next contest. WPI will play Nichols College at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday in a game that will be played at Holy Cross.

What's in the Box:
How to Install the Wireless PIR Motion Detector:
Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Detectors protect space by 'looking' for changes in infrared (heat) energy levels caused by movement of an intruder. The passive infrared detectors are passive devices. i.e., they do not transmit any form of energy. When a person enters and moves within the detecting zone, his body which is at its normal temperature of 98.6 degree F., radiates more (or less) thermal energy than the surroundings and such minute difference in thermal energy is detected by the PIR. In simple words, PIR keeps a picture of the heat levels in its view and keeps on comparing the new view with the stored one. In case there is any change then they activate the alarm
Installation Diagram:
- Short circuit "5S" for testing and "5MIN" for normal use; Fix the sensor onto the bracket
- Adjust the sensor to a proper angle and then slide the power switch on the side to "ON", and it will enter into the normal working state after 30 seconds
- Upon the working light flashes frequently in green, please replace the batteries
How to Install Wireless Door Sensor:
Your home security wireless door sensors are important detection points - 75% of all break-ins occur through a door. Use common sense when installing home security wireless sensors - remember that the objective is to make sure that the sensor and magnet are located within 3/8" of each other. (See Figure 1) Be sure the home security wireless sensor and magnet are not obstructing the opening of the door
- Hold the home security wireless sensor near the top of the door, close to the opening edge of the door (not the hinge side). This is the mounting location for the sensor. Hold the magnet on the doorframe next to the sensor. The alignment marks must match up. (See Figure 2) The sensor and magnet must be within 3/8 of an inch from each other in order to operate properly. This is the mounting location for the magnet
- Now that you have determined the proper location you can attach the home security wireless sensor and magnet. Thoroughly clean the mounting location with a clean, dry cloth. Remove the protective backing off the 3M strip on the sensor. Make sure the home security wireless sensor is straight and is close to the edge of the door. Attach the sensor to the door. Press firmly and hold in place for 30 seconds
- Now remove the protective backing off the 3M strip on the magnet. Make sure the alignment marks are facing each other. Attach the magnet on the doorframe next to the sensor. Press firmly and hold in place for 30 seconds. When the magnet is moved more than 1/2 inch from the sensor, the alarm will be activated if the home security wireless system is armed
About Wireless Home Security Alarm Systems:
Home security systems are steadily moving towards a more wireless solution. With news stories about children abducted from home, and increases in burglaries and home invasions, security is very important for households. Families have an innate desire to protect themselves and their belongings from intruders. Home security systems are being installed to act as the eyes and ears of families while they are away from home or asleep at night. Not only a valid defense against theft, wireless home security systems fight against fires and aids in other medical related emergencies
- Benefits: One of the greatest benefits to using a wireless home security system is the easy and quick installation. For most wireless systems, you only need to connect the device to an existing phone line, and it is ready to go. Another benefit is the cost; wireless systems costs are considerably cheaper than the other types of home security systems. This is largely due to the reduced need for the installer to deal with structural issues in your dwelling
- Features: The most well-known features of wireless home security systems are burglary, fire and medical monitoring and alarms. Other types of alarms that are associated with the device are emergency, gas and flood warnings. Other features includes integral keypad, hand-held transmitters, several different arming modes, choice of alarm types, programmable power supply, event logs and fixed frequency receiver types
- Other Uses: Wireless home security systems are not just attractive because of their easy installation practices. Homeowners like them because of their other uses as well. One use is the ability to contact the fire department if a fire breaks out while no one is at home. For other systems, to have this feature included will cost more than it does with wireless systems. With some of the wired systems out there, the fire alarm option can cost up to $1000 for installation and $20 a month in monitoring. For wireless systems, there is no or little installation cost, and monitoring isn't required. Wireless alarm systems can also be connected to lights and appliances in the home. Would-be burglars can be deterred when lights and appliances are turned on and off at random times. This gives the appearance that someone is home even when no one is
- Wireless Sensors: For the wireless alarm system to work, several wireless sensors are placed around the home. Burglary sensors are attached to doors and windows. When a door or window is opened while the alarm is engaged, the wireless sensor sends a signal to the main device. The device then blasts a siren and/or contacts the police, depending on the programming settings. In case of a fire, the sensor picks up on smoke in the environment, much like a smoke detector. A signal is sent to the system, and the fire department is notified through the connected phone line if the alarm isn't disengaged within a set time frame
How to Buy a Home Alarm System:
Each year more than 2 million American homes are burglarized, according to the National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association (alarm.org). Most of them have no alarm system. Electronic security devices provide affordable peace of mind, and recognizes and reacts instantly to unauthorized entry
- Survey your home and determine how many windows and doors you want integrated into the system
- Contact your insurance agent, a security system adviser, the NBFAA or your police department's crime prevention department for names of security system companies. Ask each company for an inspection, a recommendation and a quote in writing
- Decide whether you want to contract with a 24-hour central monitoring station for a monthly fee. If your system detects a break-in, it alerts security professionals to dispatch local police. Less expensive dialer accessories can link sensors to your phone lines and call preselected numbers if security is breached
- Consider your family's lifestyle. Do people or pets sometimes roam the house at night? Select appropriate sensors and locations
- Choose a system with a control panel that can monitor all the zones in your home. Each window or door integrated into the system is considered a zone. A basic system (about $400 without monitoring) can control eight zones, but many can be expanded to watch up to 32
- Determine locations for the control panel and keypads. The control panel commands the system and the keypads allow you to program the system and turn it or its components on and off. A typical setup puts one keypad near the front door and another keypad--and perhaps a panic button--close to the bedrooms
- Look for systems that connect to lighting controls, smoke and carbon monoxide sensors, and flood detectors. Also make sure system switches won't freeze in cold climates. (See How to Buy a Home Automation System.)
- Choose a user-friendly code that everyone in the family can remember in an emergency. Try the keypad to assure that it's easy to use
- Realize that it's difficult to retrofit a hardwired security system. With a wired system, you'll have to drill holes in walls so wires can be routed. If you want to avoid this expense and inconvenience, choose a wireless system

Shoppers returned�to the Lakeland Farmers Market on Sunday, a day after the 79-year-old owner of a coin and gun booth was shot during a robbery.
LAKELAND | Families flocked to the Lakeland Farmers Market on Sunday to buy produce and clothing items a day after a gun booth owner was shot in the stomach during a robbery.
While the market appeared to be back to normal and Mexican country music blared through the small shops, booth owners said they were more vigilant because of the shooting.
The 79-year-old man who was shot Saturday was in stable condition Sunday at Lakeland Regional Medical Center and is expected to recover, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.
Officials haven't identified the man as they search for six suspects who apparently participated in the robbery at the market on Swindell Road.
Deputies said the suspects are black, appeared to be teenagers, and some had dreadlocks. Deputies also are searching for a black, newer-model Suzuki hatchback with tinted windows and stock rims.
Terry Barlow Jr., who along with his father is the general manager of the market, said the wounded vendor has sold items at the market for years. They said Saturday's shooting was the first the market has had since they began working there.
Sheriff's officials said the shooting occurred Saturday morning after two men stopped at the coin and gun booth and asked about buying a gun. When the owner refused to sell them a firearm, they left but said they would return.
A group of six men returned to the booth armed with a hammer and smashed the glass cases where the guns were displayed. Deputies said one of the men shot the booth owner in the stomach.
Brian Porter shared the booth with the man who was shot. He said he sold the coins and the 79-year-old man sold the guns.
Porter said he didn't recognize any of the suspects as being previous customers. He said they were all wearing hooded sweatshirts.
"They meant business," Porter said. "And they knew what they were going to do."
As he packed up items in his booth Sunday afternoon, he said that selling guns can be a risky business. He said he's been robbed three or four times but it's never ended in a shooting.
"No place that sells guns is safe," he said. "This is a bad world out there."
Barlow said he and a few others serve as security, but the market doesn't have off-duty officers or deputies working.
Silvia Torres was cutting a woman's hair at her booth Sunday and said she had just learned about the shooting.
"I think we need to be more careful," she said in Spanish. "I've never been robbed."
Roslae Blanc sells undergarments at a booth near Porter's and said the shooting didn't seem to affect her customers Sunday, but it worried her because there are children at the market.

text: Lock in Prices to Make Money on 2014 Crops January 27, 2014 09:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Boyce Thompson AgWeb Email Farmers need to carefully monitor the markets to profit on new crops, two marketing experts tell "U.S. Farm Report." Farmers might have to overcome a reluctance to lock in prices using futures contracts if they want to make money on 2014 corn and soybean crops. That was the opinion shared by Andy Shissler of Roach Ag Marketing and Chip Nellinger of Blue Reef Agri-Marketing during the "U.S. Farm Report" Marketing Roundtable. Although both analysts expect an acreage shift from corn to soybeans this year, Nellinger thinks the shift will be marked. "I'm in a minority," he said. "But in talking to farmers, I think there's already been a big shift from corn to beans, even in the best areas of the Corn Belt where it's always been corn, corn, corn." Shissler, on the other hand, believes the shift might not be as pronounced if corn prices gain on bean prices in February or early March. "But at this point we are probably going to lose some corn acres," he said. Shissler holds out some hope that corn prices will rally before June, allowing farmers to "make a little bit of money." If new-crop corn prices move into the profit zone, "farmers better be ready" to pull the trigger on futures, he said. Farmers should closely monitor soybean prices as well. Although soybeans look profitable now, Nellinger warns that prices could fall once the size of the 2014 crop becomes clearer. He adds that the size of the Brazilian crop looks "really big," bigger than the U.S. crop. "When you get bean rally up around $11.50, you need to do something to protect your profit margins on new-crop beans, especially if you plan on planting more of them," he said. "Farmers haven't done much to protect those prices. If you take 50 to 70 cents out of new-crop bean prices, all of a sudden it's not profitable anymore."
