Trial ordered for 4 charged in Detroit mob attack
DETROIT – Four men accused of punching and kicking a motorist who accidentally struck a 10-year-old Detroit boy were ordered Monday to stand trial on attempted murder charges, after a judge reviewed their statements to police and witnesses testified about the chaotic mob attack.
As Steve Utash continued to recover in a hospital bed, Judge Thomas Jackson found probable cause to move the case to trial in Wayne County Circuit Court.
Prosecutor Lisa Lindsey introduced statements to police from Latrez Cummings, 19, James Davis, 24, and Wonzey Saffold, 30, all acknowledging a role in the April 2 attack. They were ordered to trial, along with Bruce Wimbush Jr., 17, who waived the hearing.
"I pray for the man every day. I hope him and the boy are going to be OK," Cummings told police, according to Lindsey.
Witnesses to the attack described a chaotic scene.
"They were hollerin' and screamin', `Oh, my God, get him, get him,"' witness Deborah Hughes testified.
Another witness, Ashley Daniels, said Utash was attacked after he got out of his pickup to check on the boy. She said he was stumbling and his hat was knocked off after some early blows.
Daniels said Utash was dared to pick up his hat before he was hit again.
"He fell. He got up again," she said. "It was like he was almost accepting it."
Utash, 54, of Macomb County's Clinton Township, is a tree trimmer who was familiar with the east side Detroit neighborhood where a boy darted out in front of his pickup. He spent days in a coma after the beating.
Jackson noted that the legal threshold to keep the case moving at this stage is low. Defense attorneys said Utash's injuries were awful but an attempted murder charge was too severe.
"One or two may not be enough to kill anyone," the judge said of punches and kicks, "but a combination may be enough to cause one's death."
Separately, a 16-year-old boy is charged in Juvenile Court with assault and ethnic intimidation in the case. He and the other defendants are black; Utash is white.

I love Natalie Glebova, but heard she was complaining a lot on the race.
I just rewatched all of TARA's Season from 1-4.Here are some of the saddest elimination in my opinionTARA1: Ernie & JeenaTARA1: Sharon & MelodyTARA2: Brent & KinarTARA2: Aurelia & SophieTARA2: Daichi & SawakaTARA2: Paula & NatashaTARA3: Mai & OliverTARA3: Henry & BernieTARA3: Natalie & Pailin (Mostly Pailin)TARA4: Wendy & AllanTARA4: Ivan & HildaTARA4: Sunaina & DimpleTARA4: Jess & Lani

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT:ARA1 - Andy/LauraARA2 - no team, although Pailin as an individual certainly qualifiesARA3 - Mai/OliverARA4 - Ethan/KhairieMy rationale for the above is that a team must not have played a key part in their elimination through their own mistake in order to qualify on my list of a saddest elimination. As examples of other teams I considered and rejected:Mardy/Marsio - since one played golf and they were at a golf course, wouldn't he be the choice to do a ROADBLOCK?; also personal choice to eat organ meats slowly when only chance of staying in race was to eat as quickly as possible irregardless of personal convictions (note Kat in AR17)Daichi/Sawaka- failure to choose Slither DETOUR put them in last placePaula/Natasha - unable to make up any time in Budapest leg when lack of Bunching required them to do soAnn/Diane - rejection of risk strategy and choice of safe flight through London gave them 3 hour deficit to make upBernie/Henry - choice of Fill DETOUR rather than FishFaeza/ - forced choice of who to use for zipline task, followed by not grasping situation clearly and taking the risk to take 4 hour penalty immediately before Sam could do so
Joab, you're quite right. I often think you watch a different version than I do. IN the case of Mai/Oliver, they were eliminated solely because they got so far behind on the department store ROADBLOCK. The fact they they elected to spend the night in their car was because they knew they were so far behind they could never catch up.
That ROADBLOCK is a classic random task, with a spread of finishing times that did not appear to be related to the competence of the individuals doing that task. Someone has to finish last through no fault of their own and it happened to be Mai and Oliver.
Additional task * In the Sony Style Store, teams must find one of thousands of discs in the racks available that displays "Correct! You may receive your next clue." when played on their Blu-ray player, while the others will display "Sorry. Try again."

Debugger Limitations
There are certain situations that the debugger cannot handle, because of the way the Python programming language works. If you are having problems getting the debugger to stop at breakpoints or to display source as you step through your code, one or more of these may apply.
Always read the Trouble-shooting Failure to Debug section first. If that fails to uncover your problem, refer to the following detailed documention of debugger limitations (many of which are extremely rare and esoteric):
(1) Your source files must be stored on disk and accessible to the IDE. If you are trying to debug code fragments, try writing them to disk temporarily and setting the __file__ variable in the module name space before invoking Python's exec or eval. This will allow Wing's debugger to map code objects to the source you've temporarily written to disk.
(2) Running without saving will lead to incorrect display of breakpoints and run position because the debug process runs against the on-disk version of the source file. Wing will indicate in the Messages tool and Stack Data status indicator that some files are out of sync so this case should only occur if you ignore its warnings.
(3) You cannot run the debug program using the -O or -OO optimization options for the Python interpreter. This removes information about line numbers and source file names, making it impossible to stop at breakpoints or step through code.
(4) There are several cases where Wing may fail to stop at breakpoints or exceptions, or may fail to find source files corresponding with breakpoints or exception points. All of these are caused by storage of incorrect file names in *.pyc files:
- Moving *.pyc files on disk after they are generated invalidates the file name stored in the file if it is a partial relative path. This happens if your PYTHONPATH or sys.path contains partial relative path names.
- A similar problem may result from use of compileall.py and some other utilities that don't record a correct filename in the *.pyc file.
- If you run the same code twice using different paths to the same working directory, as is possible on Linux/Unix with symbolic links, the file names left in *.pyc may contain a mix of each of these paths. If the symbolic link that was used is subsequently removed, some of the file names become invalid.
The fix for all of these problems is to remove the *.pyc files and let Python regenerate them from the corresponding *.py files with the correct file name information.
Hint: You can open *.pyc files in most text editors to inspect the stored file names.
(5) For code that spends much of its time in C/C++ without calling Python at all, for example as in a GUI main loop, the debugger may not reliably stop at breakpoints added during a run session, and may not respond to Pause requests. See section Debugging Non-Python Mainloops for more information.
(6) You cannot use pdb or other debuggers in code that you are running within the Wing debugger. The two debuggers conflict because they attempt to use the same debugger hooks in the Python interpreter.
(7) If you override __import__ in your code, you will break the debugger's ability to stop at breakpoints unless you call the original __import__ as part of your code whenever a module is actually imported. If you cannot call the original __import__ for some reason, it may be possible to instead use wingdbstub and then call wingdbstub.debugger.NotifyImport(mod) from your import handler (where mod is the module that was just imported).
(8) If you set __file__ in a module's name space to a value other than its original, Wing will be unable to stop at breakpoints in the module and may fail to report exceptions to the IDE's user interface.
(9) If you use an extension module to call C/C++ level stdio calls instead of using the Python-level facilities, the debug process will remain unresponsive to Wing while waiting for keyboard input, I/O redirection to the Debug Probe in Wing Pro will fail, and you may run into out-of-order character reads in some cases. Details can be found in Debug Process I/O.
(10) Using partial path names in module __file__ attribute can in rare cases cause Wing to fail to stop on breakpoints and exceptions, to fail to display source files, or to confuse source files of the same name.
A partial path name may end up in __file__ only when (a) invoking Python code with a partial path name, for example with python myfile.py instead of python /path/to/myfile.py, (b) sending partial path names into exec, (c) using partial path names in your PYTHONPATH or sys.path, or (d) using compileall.py or similar tool to compile modules with a partial path name.
Because Wing does everything possible to avoid this problem in practice, it actually only occurs in the following rare cases:
- When modules are loaded with partial path names and os.chdir() is called before debugging is started. This is only possible when using wingdbstub or otherwise starting debug after your debug process is started.
- When modules are loaded with partial path names and os.chdir() is called after wingdbstub.debugger.SuspendDebug() and before wingdbstub.debugger.ResumeDebug().
- When modules are loaded with partial path names and removed from sys.modules before the debugger is started or while debugging is suspended.
- When code objects are created on the fly using compile(), the C API, or the new module, a relative filename or an incorrect filename are used for the filename argument, and os.chdir() is called before the code is executed.
(11) Wing tries to identify when source code in the IDE matches or does not match the code that is running in the debug process. There are certain very rare cases where this will fail, which may lead to failure to stop on breakpoints and other problems even when files are identified by the IDE as being synchronized:
Using execfile(), eval(), or exec with a globals dict that contains __file__ will cause Wing to incorrectly assert that the specified file has been reloaded. In practice, this scenario usually occurs when execfile() is called from the top level of a module, in which case the module is in fact being loaded or reloaded (so no mis-identification of module load status occurs). However, in cases where a module load takes a long time or involves a long-running loop at the top level, the execfile(), eval(), or exec may occur after edits to the module have been made and saved. In this case, Wing will mis-identify the module as having been reloaded with the new edits.
This problem can also be triggered if a globals with __file__ is explicitly passed to execfile(), eval(), or exec. However, it will only occur in this case when the code object file name is ?, and locals and globals dictionaries are the same, as they are by default for these calls.
(12) Naming a file <string> will prevent the debugger from debugging that file because it is confused with the default file name used in Python for code that is not located in a file.
(13) The debugger may fail to step or start after stopping at a breakpoint if the floating point mode is set to single precision (24 bit) on Intel x86 and potentially other processors. This is sometimes done by graphics libraries such as DirectX or by other code that optimizes floating point calculations.
(14) When using Stackless Python, overriding stackless.tasklet.__call__ without calling the Wing debugger's __call__ will break the debugger.

What is it about the holidays? I am starting to believe in the existence of invisible holiday imps who make mischief and throw a wrench into my well-laid plans.
Proof of this comes every year at Thanksgiving when I think I've got it all together, but somehow it unravels and I am producing dinner for 20 under extreme duress.
I really thought I had it licked this time. We had 18 for dinner in 2011 and I had invited even more this year, but for various reasons, only 10 would be at the table. I was disappointed that so many could not come, but, on the plus side, theoretically, fewer guests means less to do.
So, I bought two medium-sized turkeys and left the rest of the shopping to my husband and trusted Thanksgiving-comrade-in-arms, Dan.
As always, the first holiday hurdle came on Wednesday, or as it is known in my house "P" Day (short for "Pie Day"). We have a tradition of offering a big variety of homemade pies on Thanksgiving Day. The pies must be freshly baked on Wednesday evening and must be made from scratch with my secret crust recipe. It's always a big undertaking since I make eight pies in one evening: three chocolate cream; one banana cream; one coconut cream; one pumpkin; one apple; and one blueberry.
I thought I was all set to get out of work at 5 on Wednesday, but there were complications and I wasn't able to leave until after 6.
There was more trouble when I walked in the door. Dan was flat on his back under the kitchen sink. There were tools scattered on the floor nearby. He was fixing our faucet that had been broken for about two weeks. He had planned to fix it during the day on Wednesday, but with a house full of kids and a long Thanksgiving grocery list to procure, he was running behind.
"I'm so sorry, honey. Almost done," he promised.
"No worries," I said. But that was a lie. I was panicking about getting those pies started. I was already at least an hour off schedule. As it turned out, I couldn't start the pies until 8 o'clock.
As I was up to my elbows in flour and shortening, Jarid, our 12-year-old son, felt compelled to express his opinion. He was blunt as always. "What are you making pies for any way? That's dumb!"
"Thank you, Mr. Congeniality," I giggled.
The last one came out of the oven at 11 p.m. They were all masterpieces, but exhaustion was setting in.
Dan and I were up early to make stuffing, wrestle with the birds and pop them in the oven. The rest of the day went well. Dinner was great. I had remembered the butter for my 93-year-old mother, and did not burn the dinner rolls. And, there were no major incidents like the year I accidentally dumped a pitcher of gravy on the floor and then slid in it nearly doing a split!
But, Dan and I were so tired when the last guest left that night, we could barely keep our eyelids open to watch the New England Patriots play the Jets, a game we had been looking forward to all day.
But there was more mayhem to come. The wooden frame of our ancient waterbed had been hanging precariously for the last few days. "I'm going to fix that tomorrow," Dan vowed before turning in.
"Really?" I asked. We both had Black Friday off. In fact, it was the first time I had had Black Friday off in 35 years and now I saw us spending part of the day fixing our waterbed. Little did I know what was coming.
The next morning as promised, Dan took the bed apart and made an unfortunate discovery. Not only was the frame broken, but the bladder — the big plastic mattress holding the water — had an irreparable leak. After a web search and a dozen phone calls, we got the bad news. Waterbed bladders are a rare commodity. As my oldest daughter Emily always says about the waterbed, "Mom, you are so 1980s."
The nearest store with a waterbed bladder was in Portland, Maine, and it was going to cost us more than $350. But, we couldn't sleep on the floor, so off we went.
Hours later we returned home to rebuild our bed. Dan had drained out the old bladder using a garden hose that hung out our window. He carefully reconstructed the frame and laid in the new bladder, which we filled with warm tap water from a hose hooked up to the sink in our adjoining bathroom.
All seemed well. We took the kids to a movie as we had promised and turned in at around 11 p.m. The new bladder felt as if we were floating on a cloud of comfort.
But, no so fast! The holiday imps reared their ugly pointed little heads again. I got up at about 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and was ankle-deep in water. It was like a tsunami in the bedroom. Even Rosie's doggie bed was soaked. Dan and I threw towels on the floor to soak up the mess. Thankfully, the source of the leak wasn't the new bladder, it was the old one. Dan and I were so tired after putting the bed together, we didn't have the energy to haul the old bladder out of the bedroom and had left it on the floor not realizing it would leak out.
The next morning, we awoke to dozens of water soaked towels and a garden hose in the bathroom.
"Got to love the holidays," I laughed.
"Yah, perfect," Dan grinned.
"Can't wait to see what happens next year."

MOORE, Okla. (AP) — Moore Public School officials said Monday they will make special enrollment and attendance plans for the upcoming school year for students displaced by the May 20 tornado.
MOORE, Okla. (AP) — Moore Public School officials said Monday they will make special enrollment and attendance plans for the upcoming school year for students displaced by the May 20 tornado.
Superintendent Robert Romines said the plan's primary goal is to minimize disruption to the students' education.
"These students have been through enough, and we want their school to be a place of comfort and consistency," Romines said.
Two elementary schools in Moore were destroyed and a third was damaged when the massive EF5 twister tore through the Oklahoma City suburb. The tornado also destroyed or damaged hundreds of homes, displacing students and their families.
The enrolment plan for the 2013-14 school year includes a temporary transfer policy to allow students living outside the district to attend their home school. The policy applies only to students whose families were displaced by the tornado and who intend to move back to Moore.
Those students may attend the same school they attended last year but parents must provide transportation if they live outside their home school attendance area. Families also must complete a new enrollment form to allow the school district to collect new contact information for students and confirm who will be returning.
Officials said damage to Highland East Junior High is being repaired and that classes are scheduled to begin Aug. 16. Briarwood Elementary will be housed at Emmaus Baptist Church in Oklahoma City while the school is rebuilt.
"This allows us to keep the Briarwood school family together and close to their home school location," Romines said.
Plaza Towers Elementary, which also was destroyed, will be housed in a building at Central Junior High in Moore. Bus transportation will be provided from the Briarwood and Plaza Towers attendance areas to the temporary school sites.

Though many local residents may have plans to shop outside of Leavenworth today for Black Friday sales, local merchants are attempting to capitalize on the biggest retail shopping day of the year by offering discounts.
Though many local residents may have plans to shop outside of Leavenworth today for Black Friday sales, local merchants are attempting to capitalize on the biggest retail shopping day of the year by offering discounts.
Some Leavenworth stores have special hours today.
Brendan Sheehan, owner of Santa Fe Trails Bicycle and Coffee Shop, said his store planned to open at 6 a.m., with bigger discounts being offered to early shoppers. The store normally opens at 9 a.m., but might benefit today by also having a coffee shop inside.
Sheehan said Black Friday turnout is likely to be greater elsewhere in the Kansas City area, but a "crowd of folks" typically visit his store on Black Friday.
"We get pretty good participation," he said.
Other stores may not have opened early, but are conforming with Black Friday tradition with discounted specials.
"It's big for us," said Deanne Montgomery, owner of Picket Fences & Petals, of Black Friday.
She said the Leavenworth business will have a storewide sale, but it will open at its usual time of 10 a.m. The regular hours allows shoppers to stop by after they've hit the big box stores.
"We'll continue with specials through the weekend," she said.
Jennifer Daly, president of the Leavenworth-Lansing Area Chamber of Commerce, said shopping locally is important to smaller communities like Leavenworth and Lansing. Money stays in the community and helps fund public improvements for things like roads and parks, she said.
"Businesses really are the heart and sole of the community," she said.
Daly said it's important to shop locally not only on Black Friday, but throughout the year.
Claudia Samouce, office manager of Artistic Works By Lu, said she knows people head out during the early morning hours on Black Friday to shop at large retailers, but they can shop local later in the day. Artistic Works By Lu, for example, is offering a happy hour sales event from 3 to 6 p.m.
She said the downtown store tries to promote a Black Friday experience that is opposite from what one would find at bigger shopping malls.
"We've always just tried to have the relaxed atmosphere," she said.
Samouce said the store usually gets Black Friday customers who are accompanied by people visiting them during Thanksgiving holiday weekend. She said local customers enjoy showing off the town.
Kathryn West, co-owner of The Pot Rack, said her downtown store generally sees good traffic the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving.
"It's clearly a busy time for us," she said.
But, because the store sells kitchenware items, it typically sees increased business in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.
"The whole week is generally pretty busy," she said.

UPPER WEST SIDE — With a massive marble bar, swiveling chairs, chandeliers adorned with musical instruments and retro cocktails, the Dakota Bar is looking to help revive the bar scene on the Upper West Side.
The bar — at 72nd Street and Columbus Avenue and owned by former model and Wine and Roses founder Jennifer Klein — will have its grand opening on Valentine's Day following a year of renovations.
"We felt this corner needed something — something whimsical," said Klein. "There are so few places to connect and smile and meet your neighbors."
The Dakota Bar — opening in place of Indian restaurant Earthen Oven — will be open from 3 p.m. until 1 or 2 a.m. daily with an extensive wine and beer list and a roster of signature cocktails.
The drinks will "have a nostalgic feeling, using gum drops, liqueurs, and sugar daddy cocktails and caramel liqueurs," said Klein. She drew inspiration from drinks she remembers her mother drinking, like the Pink Squirrel, typically made with creme de noyaux, white creme de cacao and light cream.
Klein will also serve a variety of wine-based cocktails: "You could start with Cabernet with fruits and simple sugar and pick any kind of liqueur."
Or she said she'd mix white wine with vodka and herbs. "We are here with [older] people who could relate to nostalgia...and a lot of younger people will [also] relate," she said.
In April, Klein will debut a "punch brunch" with several different punches alongside a full brunch menu.
Klein said she and her husband, Todd, who live a block away, have always had a fascination with the Dakota, and decided to name the bar after the legendary building.
The 1,200-square-foot restaurant fits 100 people and Klein said, "everywhere you sit, you can see out the windows." The bar has a wall of south and west facing windows that will showcase the sunset and can be opened in the summertime, she said.
A glamour shot of Klein from her modeling days and dark tables add to the bar's grown-up feel in the family-friendly neighborhood.
To add to the atmosphere, which features large green bar chairs and maroon swivel chairs, the bar will "play great funky music from every era," she said.
Though the Dakota Bar is surrounded by popular restaurants, Klein said the bar's emphasis is on the drinks menu. "We're not a restaurant," she said. "We're a bar first."
However, the food on offer will come in big portions.
The menu includes: 10 salads, 10 pastas, 10 "really big sandwiches," Charcuterie, pates, and cheese boards with three to 12 cheeses.
"We want to fill everybody up," she said.

Max Gutmann
Born: November 23, 1923
Radauti, Romania
Max was raised in the Romanian town of Radauti, a trading and woodworking center near the Ukrainian border. The Gutmanns had a traditional Jewish home, and Max's father was on the board of directors of the local Jewish community. Max's father dealt in grain, feed, and livestock and he was a purveyor of horses for the Romanian military.
1933-39: My pony, Lisa, was kept in our stables with the other horses. The secondary school I attended was semi-private; it was governed by the state, but each student had to pay a tax to attend. After school I sometimes studied Hebrew with a tutor. In 1938, when I was 15, I read in the newspaper how Jews in Germany were losing their rights and their property. My family was afraid that similar constraints would be imposed on us in Romania.
1940-44: In June 1940 my father was injured after being thrown from a train by Romanian fascist Iron Guard members. Six months later he died of his wounds. When the Romanians deported Radauti's Jews in October 1941, we were sent east to a ghetto in Transnistria. There we lived in one room with 16 people, mostly relatives. I worked in a slaughterhouse. When we threw away the bones, skin and organs, hundreds of starving people gathered and fought over them. After three years of suffering, we were liberated by the Soviets in March 1944.
After the war, Max returned to Radauti. In 1958 he left for Vienna, and immigrated to the United States in 1959.

Firecrackers, cardboard boxes and clocks are among the items remaining after a bomb failed to explode in New York Times Square. The device was a dangerous Rube Goldberg contraption and for once such a setup wasn't cartoonish or amusing.
This time instead of giggling and staring, we're left in terrified awe of the parts this car bomb was built from:
The device and the way it was designed speak to a "grandiose purpose." It was apparently fashioned in short order and with seemingly common tools. The clocks were on the floor of the back seat area, and the plastic gas containers were on the rear seat, on either side of a 16-ounce canister with M88 firecrackers. Behind that, the three propane containers were arrayed, one with some firecrackers affixed to it. And behind that was the gun locker, inside a cardboard box, containing eight bags of nonexplosive fertilizer.
Instead of catching a mouse, accompanying a song or amusing children, this particular Rube Goldberg contraption could've taken lives. It's just another chilling reminder of how the things which amuse us in simple, innocent ways could could be the stuff of nightmares. [NY Times]

From Exploitation to Companionship: Urban Chickens Find Justice in Minneapolis
April 9, 2012 1 Comment
Advocates for animals take their victories when and where they come, be they big or small, real or symbolic, overdue or ahead of the curve. Last week, a decision in Minneapolis was a very big, very real, and very forward-thinking victory for urban animals—particularly chickens.
As Ian Elwood reported, the city's new farming regulations dictate that "chickens are viewed by the city more like companion animals and less like livestock." Not only do clarified rules prohibit chickens (all animals, in fact) from being kept in community gardens, market gardens, or on urban farms, but—perhaps most importantly– they cannot be slaughtered within city limits. Commenting on the possible benefits that might accrue from this decision, Mary Britton Clouse, of Chicken Run Rescue, speculates that urbanites will adopt chickens "as companion animals" rather than as objects of exploitation. Provided that most urban animal owners currently raise chickens for eggs and either kill them or pawn them off on shelters when egg production drops, any effort that encourages treating chickens like companion animals is welcome progress toward animal justice.
The reason behind Minneapolis' change of heart involves the failure of the JD Rivers Garden Project. Designed to teach children the virtues of gardening, the program decided to add chickens to its urban farm. What better way to teach children the centrality and supposed importance of animals to agriculture. Or so it was thought. Instead of lessons in the subtleties of mixed farming, children learned that neglected chickens suffer. Vandals destroyed chicken coops, thieves stole chickens, ramshackle coops made of discarded chain link fences made poor homes, and—when you get right down to it—these animals were implicitly deemed unworthy of decent protection. Over the course of a summer, children who were supposed to learn the beauties of urban agriculture absorbed the lesson that, in the end, these animals don't matter.
What they witnessed was emblematic of what's happening nationally. The trend toward keeping animals on urban farms is growing rapidly and cities lacking the foresight of Minneapolis are repeatedly being caught off guard by unintended (but easily predictable) consequences. The short-sightedness of the urban farm animal trend is manifest in the fact that the surrender of unwanted chickens, as Chicken Run Rescue calculates it, has gone up 800 percent since 2001. Craigslist now has categories for "poultry swaps"—code for "please take my chicken I'm done using her."
The brilliance of the Minneapolis legislation is that it recognizes the basic truth that urban agriculture thrives best when it exclusively cultivates a wide range of plants for people to eat. In Elwood's words, "Minneapolis can serve as an example to other cities that are considering adding animals to their urban farming laws. The city has taken great strides toward achieving food justice, while encouraging residents to grow bountiful crops without putting animals in danger."
A victory indeed.

The American Dream: Out of Reach?
Jon Proctor knows the road to self-sufficiency is a long one. It is even longer when the weekly paycheck totals a little more than $200.
"We're trying to get back on our feet," the 55-year-old divorced father of six said, explaining he has managed to schedule only about 30 hours a week stocking shelves at a Safeway supermarket on the overnight shift. Proctor, a Vietnam-era Army veteran, has moved among several Safeway stores in the Maryland suburbs of Washington and now in Alexandria, Va., where he stays in Christ House, a transitional housing residence for single men. Life, he admits, is far different now than when he worked for 15 years as an electrician and later as a bouncer at a bar, earning as much as $500 a night.
Proctor landed at the residence run by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington, Va., 18 months ago when his 25-year marriage dissolved. He moved out of a comfortable Bethesda, Md., home with little more than his clothing. He said he has been "on top" and is "now at the bottom."
"So if anybody's out there who has the same feeling of 'Hey, I've got it made,' don't count on it," he said, "because you could be in my situation in a heartbeat."
Proctor is among the growing number of America's poor. The Census Bureau reported on Sept. 13 that in 2010, 15.1 percent of Americans—46.2 million people, an all-time high—were living in poverty, the third straight annual increase in poverty.
Mentesnot Tejeji, resident manager at Christ House, said the number of people at its evening meal has doubled since he joined the staff in 2007. "We're starting to see new faces," he said. Tejeji suspects many of the newcomers face the difficult choice between paying for rent and utilities or for food.
The growing poverty points to serious challenges facing Congress and President Obama. Bishop Stephen E. Blaire of Stockton, Calif., chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, said on Sept. 14: "If people don't go back to work, there's not going to be money out there in the community.... To me it's a very simple matter." He called upon Congress and the White House to "set aside the political stalemate that keeps people from working together."
"We have to keep people first," Bishop Blaire said. "I don't have the answers for what government can do and I don't think that's even our role as a church. Our role is to say the government needs to accept its responsibility. But it's not just the government; businesses, various entities, everybody has a responsibility."
Charles A. Gallagher, chairman of the sociology and criminal justice department at LaSalle University in Philadelphia, sees worsening poverty ahead unless any new jobs created offer a living wage and good benefits. He fears that the American dream will be unreachable for millions of Americans faced with the prospect of working permanently in low-wage jobs.
"If people at the bottom of the economic ladder can get a job at all, they're going to be stuck in a job that pays minimum wage with no benefits. They will be assimilated into America, but they will be assimilated into the underclass," he said.

Nice little series so far, worth following.
Didn't think Kashiwagi would reveal to him that she's Sayane so early on in the manga. I would've thought the author dragged this far more than that, not that I mind though, just wondering how the following chapters will do without Yuuto being clueless - that was actually where the plot was shining up until now. Anyway, I'm optimistic.

I hope that something develops between Kashiwagi's and Sakuraba's friends though... the mildly yuri and comically threatening overtones exuded by Fukuda are the only thing that feels out of place in this title... she's almost too aggressive and possessive and needs somewhere else more healthy to direct her attentions... like Kusano. Along that line, when faced with the boy-love question, Kashiwagi reacted VERY negatively to the suggestion... it could be a very funny setup to have her reject the girl-love concept just as vehemently right in front of Fukuda, thus accidentally crushing her affections and driving her to Kusano for solace and starting their relationship right there... Then you get the typical "2nd couple gets together and cheers on the faltering 1st couple" dynamic, which is always pretty amusing to me.

Just for clarification: Chapter 14 ended with her walking away mad at him, right? The other part about the cushion/t-shirt was just an omake. So volume 2 ends pretty much on a bad note. Did I get that right? I was a little confused when reading it at first.

Fukuda, subplot with that redhead sidekick generic friend of the hero makes it really dull and boring. Add this with a complete bitch persona that Fukuda has towards the hero, makes her very hard to tolerate.
If not for these two annoying sidekicks I would say it is pretty good manga but since chapter 6 the enjoyment factor went down (yuri undertones, bitch persona, a very predictable and dull side-characters supposed romantic subplot - all it makes a rather bad mix).

fyi- if you've already graduated, there's nothing you can to do raise your LSDAS GPA
liesQuote from: 'blueskies on April 25, 2010, 03:19:58 PMfyi- if you've already graduated, there's nothing you can to do raise your LSDAS GPA
I was admitted to a T4 school last year, and I am currently in the top 20% of my class. Depending on your goals, I would say you are definitely not wasting your time. I am relying on my job experience to make me more marketable as an attorney. There's no reason why you can't do the same. Oh, you are in the top 20% of a Fourth Tier school? That really impresses employers these days! <sarcasm> What sort of unique job experience do you have that will make you more marketable as an attorney in these days when many T1 grads are working at Wal-Mart? You don't have some family connections that will get you a job, do you? I hope to God you are not borrowing a lot of money to finance your dreams. Sorry to be so harsh, but the legal job market is brutal, and having a positive attitude is not much help. Unless you get into a T14 school, rank at the very top of a lower ranked school (like first in your class, not top 20%), have family connections that guarantee you a job or are not borrowing any money to go to school, going to law school is pure idiocy. You'll realize this in about 4 years.
Consider, to do patent law or IP you may not need a JD. To take the patent Bar you simply need an appropriate "engineering" degree -- check their web site.IMO, If not going to a T1, you are wasting your time (I'm a T4 graduate) - will need some serious stick to get there w/ a 2.0 GPA.

This review sums it up pretty well:http://www.amazon.com/review/RRQ64ODPXJW/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B003I84KTS
It fucking blows my mind seeing people with full headphones on strolling around. Not to sound like some super spy wanna-be but I prefer to be aware of my surroundings. When I do jog and listen to music I have earbuds on.. pretty low usually.
Not paying attention to your surroundings is a great way to get mugged.
I like earbuds rather than headphones, and I tend to buy Klipsch ones. Not cheap - I got the iPhone compatible ones on sale (I think $80) and they sound good and last me a while. This is my second pair because I got the first caught on something & ruined, but both were pretty good to me.

Chinese vice president to visit North Korea
BEIJING (AP) — China's vice president will visit North Korea this week for Korean War commemorations following a period of strained relations between the communist neighbors.
Vice President Li Yuanchao will be the highest ranking Chinese official to visit North Korea since Kim Jong Un took over as leader of the impoverished hard-line communist state upon his father's death in December 2011.
The trip lasting Thursday through Sunday affirms a warming trend in relations between a deeply isolated Pyongyang and Beijing, its only real ally and key source of economic assistance.
The statement posted Wednesday on the Chinese Foreign Ministry's website said Li will visit for 60th anniversary commemorations of the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, in which China fought on the North's side against U.N. forces led by the United States.
That shared history, in which troops sent by Mao Zedong likely saved the North Korean regime from annihilation, has been the default fallback for the sides through periods of ambivalence bordering on animosity.
Most recently, Beijing was deeply offended by Pyongyang's actions following Kim's ascension, including conducting rocket launches, a nuclear test and other saber-rattling that spiked tensions with South Korea and the U.S.
Beijing considered the moves an affront to its interests in regional stability and showed its displeasure by joining with the U.S. to back U.N. sanctions and cut off dealings with North Korea's Foreign Trade Bank.
North Korea also frustrated Beijing by refusing to agree to high-level meetings and incensed the Chinese public after a Chinese fishing crew was detained.
The bad blood led to an unusual half-year gap in high-level contacts that ended in May when Pyongyang dispatched one of Kim's close allies to Beijing to reaffirm to close traditional ties and commit North Korea to eventually rejoining six-nation nuclear disarmament talks hosted by Beijing.
Despite the improvement in ties, policy toward the North remains one of the most debated issues among the Chinese foreign relations establishment, with some scholars going so far as calling for Beijing to end its economic and diplomatic support for Pyongyang.
Yet North Korea remains a crucial buffer between China and the 28,000 U.S. troops based in South Korea, and Beijing wins credit internationally by exercising what influence it has over the regime to moderate its behavior.
That means China will retain its support for Pyongyang, even while becoming more critical of some of its actions, wrote Ren Xiao, director of the Center for the Study of Chinese Foreign Policy at Fudan University in Shanghai.
"China is bound to adjust its North Korean policies, but it doesn't mean Beijing will side with the U.S., Japan, and South Korea. Rather, it will respond to the North's extreme moves that offend China's interests and will make the North correct those moves," Ren wrote in a recent essay for the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Although the Foreign Ministry gave no details, Li is almost certain to meet with Kim and other top North Korean readers, since to not do so would almost certainly be taken as a snub.
Those discussions are likely to focus on Beijing's much cherished goal of coaxing Pyongyang back to the nuclear talks that also involve the United States, South Korea, Russia and Japan.
There has been no significant progress toward resuming the long-stalled discussions since the North Korean envoy's visit to Beijing, while the North has devoted its attention instead to bilateral talks on restoring exchanges with South Korea.
North Korea walked away from the six-party nuclear disarmament talks in 2009 over disagreements on how to verify steps it was meant to take to end its nuclear programs.
Since its third nuclear test in February, North Korea has said any future diplomatic talks would have to recognize it as a nuclear power.
Washington has said it won't accept that and demands that talks be based on past commitments by the North to abandon its nuclear programs.

Destination Sets Numerous Additional Records Including:
•Record International Visitation of 6.2 million
•Highest-Ever Annual Hotel Occupancy Rate of 76.8%
•Most Room-Nights Sold at 27.2 million
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (January 6, 2014) – Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board (LA Tourism) President & CEO Ernest Wooden Jr. announced today that Los Angeles welcomed a record 42.2 million visitors in 2013, a 2% increase over 2012's 41.4 million, beating mid-year projections by 150,000 visitors and breaking visitation records for the third consecutive year. The announcement was made at the California Science Center, one of the city's landmark cultural institutions and a top attraction, which is also home to the U.S. Space Shuttle Endeavour.
"The continuing, record-breaking growth and strength of tourism in Los Angeles is a shining light for our economy, creating good-paying jobs for our families, benefiting local businesses, and generating significant revenue for the city that goes toward the important public services our city needs," said Mayor Eric Garcetti, who has been a strong champion of growing the tourism industry in LA. "Angelenos should be proud that our great city is such a highly desired tourist destination for visitors from across the U.S. and around the world."
Total domestic visitation to Los Angeles reached 36 million visitors in 2013, a 1.9% increase over 35.3 million in 2012. Domestic overnight visitation achieved its highest historical level with 22.3 million overnight visitors. This constitutes 490,000 new domestic overnight visitors and a growth of 2.2%.
Total international visitation set a record with 6.2 million visitors, a 2.6% percent increase over 2012. China was the biggest driver of overseas visitation with a year-over-year growth of more than 21%, and solidified its position as LA's No. 1 overseas market. LA Tourism recently opened a second office in China (offices are now in Beijing and Shanghai) and will continue to develop innovative marketing efforts to attract this large and growing market.
LA's hotel occupancy and hotel room nights sold both set all-time record highs in 2013. Hotel occupancy for the year reached 76.8%, surpassing the previous 2012 record of 75.4%. LA County's hotels sold a record 27.2 million room nights in 2013, an increase of 2.1% percent over 2012.
"The third consecutive record-breaking year for tourism underscores that Los Angeles has emerged as a leading global tourist destination," said Ernest Wooden Jr., LA Tourism's President & CEO. "We are on track to reach the goal of 50 million visitors by 2020. The fact that 2013 visitation exceeded projections for organic growth shows the impact that LA Tourism's ongoing marketing efforts, the efforts of our tourism partners, and the coordinated improvements in public infrastructure and major improvements at LAX Airport have on our economy. This is a huge achievement for the Los Angeles tourism and hospitality industry."
"The Endeavour helped attract nearly 2.8 million guests to the California Science Center during 2013, its first full year on exhibit – including more than 21,000 visitors in a single day. We are pleased Endeavour contributed to the continued growth of Los Angeles Tourism," said California Science Center President and CEO Jeffrey Rudolph.
Highlights of 2013 destination marketing efforts include:
•Resuming LA Tourism's television and digital advertising campaigns in key domestic markets in 2013 after a several year hiatus. Advertising ran in LA's top domestic feeder markets in San Francisco, San Diego, Phoenix, Sacramento, Fresno, and New York City.
•Expansion of global consumer marketing efforts in China, Canada, the U.K. and Australia.
•Heavier focus on destination promotions centering on the city's cultural and special event offerings, including a fall "Museum Season" program, as well as efforts behind this past week's Rose Bowl and Rose Parade festivities.
•The re-launch of a consumer-centric website www.discoverLosAngeles.com, providing visitors from all over the world with information to help plan their visits to Los Angeles. The site has more than doubled the previous site's traffic to more than six million visitors in the last 18 months. discoverLosAngeles.com was recently named one of the top 20 tourism websites in the world by travel website Skift.com in 2013.
• Los Angeles also became the first city in the country to attract more than 1 million Facebook fans this past year.
Coming in 2014 - Preliminary forecasts indicate that visitation to the destination will continue its strong growth trend. To keep the momentum going strong in 2014, LA Tourism is rolling out a new integrated consumer marketing campaign in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada and China, as well as a new comprehensive media campaign focused on growing international meetings and conventions business in Los Angeles; and enhancing sales efforts around the world to mine meetings and conventions business for LA in collaboration with the convention center and its new private operator, AEG Facilities.
Tourism is among the largest and healthiest contributors to the Los Angeles economy, bringing $16.5 billion in direct spending to Los Angeles for a total economic benefit of $30.5 billion in 2012. Tourism directly supported 324,000 jobs in the LA region in 2012. Visitation to Los Angeles generated $179 million in transient-occupancy taxes for the City of LA in FY12-13, a 10.7% increase over $162 million in the prior year. Tourism also generated $2.1 billion in total local and state tax revenue.

Blockbuster CEO Is Still Confused By The Long Tail
from the have-you-taken-a-look-at-your-competitors? dept
In response to a question regarding the small catalog of Movielink, Blockbuster's digital download service, Reyes responded, "When was the last time you watched 10,000 movies, you know? I don't care how many movies are available to me. As my personal taste as a customer, I want to watch the new stuff so whether we have 10,000 movies or 200 movies it doesn't matter if I don't want to see any of the movies that we have." The point of the long tail is not to ignore the hits, but to make available more. While Reyes's quixotic opinion may appease viewers with very limited tastes, when distribution and content creation is exceedingly cheap, it makes no sense to limit content. In his original article on the concept, Anderson noted that one-fifth of Netflix rentals are outside the top 3,000 movies. Clearly, a sizable minority of movie-watchers want to see films outside Movielink's inventory that "is heavily weighted toward newer releases and mainstream staple titles."

Karachi: Pakistani cricketer Saeed Ajmal is all set to take part in the Australian Big Bash League after the Pakistan Cricket Board`s (PCB) granted permission to three players to participate in the event. While the PCB gave Ajmal, Shahid Afridi and Umar Akmal the green signal on Cricket Australia`s insistence, the former captain ended his contract with the Sydney Thunder while Umar Akmal`s participation in the Australia event is also doubtful.
Afridi has decided to appear in the national Twenty20 event, which is scheduled from December 2 to 10, reports The Express Tribune. Ajmal, who has signed with the Adelaide Strikers, is likely to leave on December 5. "I will play a few matches for my domestic team before leaving. We were okay with the PCB`s decision earlier but since we have now been granted permission, there`s no harm in featuring in the contest as it will be a good experience before the tour of India," Ajmal was quoted, as saying. Afridi, though, has ended his contract saying he wanted to focus on the domestic tournament as he looks to regain his form before the squads for the series against India are named.
Umar, who was contracted with the Sydney Sixers, was also doubtful. According to his brother Kamran Akmal, the middle-order batsman was contracted to play at least three matches for his side. "Initially, Umar signed a contract for five matches but after the sudden change in the domestic schedule, he had to cut it down to three. But since he`s unlikely to play three matches due to the board`s permission, he`s unsure about his plans," said Kamran.

If this does happen please let it tour the world, especially come to California =). I think that would b a show that no one will forget =).
