Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
This story appears in the July 2000 issue of . Subscribe »
When I started my consulting business out of my drafty basement, with no money and no clients, the idea that I would not want certain customers bordered on blasphemy. But what I soon discovered is that there are accounts that are, quite simply, not worth the effort. As your business grows, you will need to make some hard decisions about "breaking up" with a client or even passing on a company's business at the outset.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not advocating that you start severing relationships willy-nilly-after all, we love our clients, don't we? But all of us have limited resources, and we need to focus on those accounts that are clearly profitable while gently turning away marginal or unprofitable customers. Optimally, your sales process should prevent you from getting into sticky situations in the first place, but when you need to take a hard look at a relationship and its worth, you'll need some snappy evaluation tools.
Kimberly McCall is the president of McCall Media & Marketing Inc., a marketing, public relations and business communications agency in Portland, Maine. You may contact her at (207)761-7792 or www.marketingangel.com. She assures all her clients that she adores them.
What's It To Ya?
Even if you service only a handful of customers, you should have an idea of their lifetime values. Factor in your profit each month, the positive word-of-mouth and potential referral source they provide, and their prestige in attracting new accounts. For example, doing a small amount of work for a high-profile customer may be valuable in attracting new high-profile (and profitable!) accounts. Determine how much you must spend to keep each customer, including all overhead costs. Know how much time you need to dedicate to each customer-and don't forget your time investment in keeping up-to-date on each industry. If you have a high-tech client, for example, you'll need to invest a lot of time in keeping up-to-speed on the industry's lightning-quick changes.
Figure the costs to keep each customer, and balance those against the cost to acquire new customers. Pay special attention to your cost to retain and the cost to acquire new customers, as it is generally far more expensive to get a new customer than to keep a current one. Once you have a handle on how much each customer is worth, it will help guide you in the "know when to hold 'em/know when to fold 'em" process.
120 Days And Counting
The most common reason for ending a relationship is for late or nonpayment. But how do you know when to cut off services? Your contract should be explicit about your terms, including when accounts are payable, when they're considered past due and what late fees there are, if any. When a customer pays late, consider past history: If the client is usually great about payment and has one late month, you probably don't want to suspend service. Stay in contact and find out why you haven't been paid and when you can expect your check. If you're going to stop all services, clearly communicate the day when services will cease. Stand firm:-consider the headaches of sending bills repeatedly, the lack of cash flow and the damage to your relationship going forward. Also keep in mind the energy you expend becoming a collections agent rather than a guru for your particular service or product. If someone pays you extremely late twice, cut the client loose.
How Much?
Be prepared for this question. It's especially important if you're a consultant providing business services rather than selling your product on a large scale. You should know what you're worth and have your pricing structure well-researched by the time you go to market. If you've done due diligence on pricing in your industry and area of the country, you'll be able to handle price objections better. For example, if your hourly rate is $50 and a client insists on getting a $30-per-hour rate, you need to figure out all the ramifications of taking a rate cut. Will the project be high profile and be a good "foot in the door" with other prospects? Can you afford all your overhead costs and still pay yourself if you take the cut? What if the next client is unwilling to pay the full rate? Will you want to give up full-rate work to keep servicing the reduced-fee projects?
Clients making solely cost-based decisions may not be the best customers. They can be disloyal, always looking to jump ship when a better deal comes along. Cost-sensitive clients are also sometimes more demanding than other customers. As one of my public relations peers once said, "If they grouse about price substantially, they're gonna fly the coop."
It might make sense to pass on work that reduces profits. Jennifer Gratnick, an independent criminal defense attorney, sums up the issue in an article she penned for Guru.com: "Money is like a pilot's uniform or a doctor's lab coat-it establishes your credibility. Clients know they get what they pay for. If I quote a low fee to a prospective client, he wonders why I'm so cheap. He might hire me, but he'll always second-guess my judgment."
What We Have Here Is A Failure To Communicate
Despite your best efforts, there might be times when you encounter clients who won't openly communicate with you. This is a tough situation, because to do your job well, you need to understand your customers' directions. The best way to avoid problems is to have an understanding upfront about what you'll need and expect from the client, whether it's sales figures, customer feedback, budgets or marketing directions. If you do encounter a situation where you don't get what you need, ask for a meeting to reenergize the relationship and get back on track. Invite them to coffee or lunch and see if you can rekindle the business-friendly relationship. If you fail to get what you need after valiant attempts, it's time to consider letting the client go. You most likely won't do your best work for a company that's not fully invested in the process.
To be sure, having a bevy of customers is wonderful. But make sure you've got the right kind-those for whom you can provide superb service and who are good for your continued growth and profitability.
Complacency is deadly in any relationship. Be they friends, family or spouses, once you start taking a good thing for granted, you're headed for trouble. And it sneaks up on you, too, in the midst of 18-hour days spent putting out fires, chasing new business and paying all the bills. But whether you have three clients or 3,000, you'll need to set aside time to keep in touch with each and every good customer you have.
There are many methods for keeping up-to-date with your customers. Direct mail, e-newsletters and telemarketing are doable for just about any budget.
Set aside time at least once per month to "touch" your clients. Make sure you have something to say rather than just "Hi, we're still here." Introduce new services and offer discounts; send articles on their industries or personal hobbies. If you keep track of clients' birthdays, send a birthday card, perhaps with a small gift. And of course, the holidays are de rigueur as a time to say an extra big thank-you.
Don't overlook public relations as a way to stay in front of clients. Each time they read about you in the paper or see you on the news, it will be a great reinforcement of why they do business with you.
The smallest personal touches can also be effective: a phone call to let them know of an upcoming event, a note on a monthly invoice to thank them for their business. Just think of how many times a day you're thanked for your business-not many, right? Stand apart from your competition by minding the little details that add up to excellent service.

Now that the lost 40-minute film footage Orson Welles created for his production of the William Gillette farce, "Too Much Johnson," had been found, restored, presented and praised -- could an a stage production of Welles' vision happen?
Perhaps a Connecticut theater could step up to the plate.
After all, Welles created it in 1938 for a little summer theater in the Stony Creek section of Branford. (Most people know it as the former Stony Creek Puppet House.)
And the Hartford born-and died Gillette was one the country's most popular playwrights and leading actors of the late 19th and early 20th Century. (His most well known plays are "Sherlock Holmes" and "Secret Service.") The grand and eccentric home he created in Hadlyme, along the Connecticut River -- known as Gillette's castle -- is one of the leading tourist destinations in the state.
in 1938, Welles, then 23 and three years before he made "Citizen Kane," found the 1884 script's narrative clunky and had the idea of creating a short silent film shot in the style of a Keystone Cops comedy -- to begin each act.
But he didn't complete the work in time for the stage production's opening. The show, minus the film which explained much of the story, made little sense and the production was a disaster (though it was a box office success due to ticket sales before the show opened).
The production starred Josephj Cotton, Mary Wickes, Arlene Francis and Howard Smith, among pother members of the Mercury players. Muysic for the film was composed by Paul Bowles, who is most well known as the author of "The Sheltering Sky."
Welles planned to take the production to New York for his Mercury Theatre company. That never happened and he abandoned the project. A few months later he presented his famous "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast.
The newly found an restored film was warmly received when it premiered in Italy and the George Eastman House in Rochester, N.Y. earlier this month.
Which makes one wonder: Could a major theater -- with the resources and dramaturgical where-with-all -- create a production in Connecticut the way Welles originally envisioned it, or relatively close to that vision? Is this a project for Hartford Stage, Long Wharf Theatre, Yale Repertory Theatre, International Festival for Arts & Ideas or the Westport Country Playhouse (the latter was in operation at the time). Or try out the production in workshop at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center to see if it;s viable?
It would be a project at least to consider. It certainly would receive national and international attention. And just perhaps it could celebrate both a legendary Connecticut playwright and a genius of the stage and screen.

CRYSTAL QUEST Whole House Acid Neutralizing 2.0 Water Filter Systems contain naturally occurring, crushed and screened white marble, calcium carbonate media. It is used to neutralize acidic or low pH waters to a neutral, less corrosive effluent. Acidic water can leach unhealthy levels of copper from pipes and cause greenish-blue stains on fixtures. It can cause many other corrosion problems as well and drastically shorten the life of all water-using equipment, including dishwashers, washing machines and hot water heaters, as well as fixtures. When acid pH water (below 6.8) is passed through the filter, calcium carbonate is slowly dissolved into the water, increasing the pH to a neutral level. An automatic backwashing cleans the bed and prevents compaction. will normally last approximately 3 years. The media slowly dissolves over time and will need to be refilled about every 2-3 years, depending on the amount of water you use, and the pH of your raw water entering the unit. It travels through 3 stages of filtration. In Stage 1, water flows through a 20-inch sediment filter cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand dirt. It also extends the life of water softeners, water filters, and prevents damage to control valves or pumps. Next, water flows through an acid neutralizing filter media mineral tank. Finally, in the third stage, water flows through a 20-inch solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOCs), insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents. CRYSTAL QUEST Whole House Acid Neutralizing 2.0 Water Filter System also features: A Poly Glass mineral tank, Riser style 1-inch internal flow distributor, a solid state microprocessor with LED display Electronics control valve and a Stainless Steel Bypass Valve.

Several people emailed recently with links to stories about former B2K member Raz B allegedly in a coma in China. Raz B has been covered extensively at Rod 2.0 ... but the recent reports were not posted as I am often very reluctant to post stories that I believe are false.
The claims that Raz B were in a coma were a hoax, reports CNN. Read the last graph for an extra dose of shade.
The R&B singer was hurt in a nightclub brawl near Shanghai, but his injuries were not serious, manager Elayne Rivers told CNN Monday. "The comments about Raz being in a coma did not come from his official representative," Rivers said.
The singer's brother, who performs under the name Ricky Romance, said in a statement sent to CNN Monday afternoon that he had been "misled by unknown reasons." ...
A celebrity news website first reported the original member of the boy band B2K was in a coma Saturday, identifying its source as Toy Jones. Although Jones gave CNN the same information Sunday, she declined to give the name of the hospital -- only saying it was in the Zhejiang province near Shanghai.
CNN chose not to report the story until the story until details could be confirmed by the U.S. State Department, officials at the U.S. embassy in China or Chinese officials. Raz B also reached out personally to CNN in an e-mail asking that nothing be published. ...
Dozens of news agencies around the world—including in China—repeated the coma story, giving Raz B more publicity in one weekend than he's likely had since his group disbanded nine years ago.
"TMZ first reported the coma story, [claiming] Raz was placed on life support a day after undergoing surgery for injuries suffered from getting smashed in the face with a bottle while performing at a club in China," reports E!
De'Mario Monte Thornton—better known as Raz B or Raz—was one of the founding members of the chart-topping boyband B2k. The group took off in 1998 and disbanded in 2004. After the breakup, Raz went out of his way to cultivate gay fans, performing at several Black gay prides and portraying an HIV-positive gay youth on the groundbreaking television series Noah's Arc, among other things.
In 2007, Raz made international headlines after claiming in a YouTube video that he was molested by another singer and B2K's former longtime manager. Raz later retracted those claims ... and has since made additional claims that he and his fellow band members was sexually molested and/or exploited.
Raz was formerly an LGBT ally but has since gaybaited a number of entertainers. In early 2011, Raz and his brother Ricardo "Ricky Romance" Thornton were engaged in a Twitter and YouTube war with former B2K lead singer Omarion. Ricky Romance blasted Omarion and claimed the singer was "fully gay" and it was an "open secret" in the industry.
Hopefully Raz will get the help that he needs. And it's even more obvious after this latest incident that an intervention is long overdue.

Hemophilia is a genetic disorder characterized by spontaneous hemorrhage or prolonged bleeding due to factor VIII or IX deficiency. Annual incidence is estimated at 1/5,000 male births and the prevalence is estimated at 1/12,000 which causes increased bleeding and usually affects males. About 70% of the time it is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, but around 30% of cases arise from spontaneous mutations. Haemophilia A (incidence) occurs in approximately 1 in 5,000 males.The incidence of haemophilia B is 1 in 30,000 in male population.Of these, 85% have haemophilia A and 15% have hemophilia B. Haemophilia A is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, and thus occurs in males and in homozygous females.
Signs and symptoms
Characteristic symptoms vary with severity. In general symptoms are internal or external bleeding episodes, which are called "bleeds".Patients with more severe haemophilia suffer more severe and more frequent bleeds, while patients with mild haemophilia typically suffer more minor symptoms except after surgery or serious trauma. Moderate haemophiliacs have variable symptoms which manifest along a spectrum between severe and mild forms.
Most severe haemophilia patients require regular supplementation with intravenous recombinant or plasma concentrate Factor VIII. The prophylactic treatment regime is highly variable and individually determined. Apart from "routine" supplementation, extra factor concentrate is given around surgical procedures and after trauma.

Ilfracombe is a seaside resort and civil parish in North Devon, England.
Ilfracombe is most famous in the wizarding world for being the location of the Ilfracombe Incident in 1932, in which a Common Welsh Green dragon attacked a group of sunbathing Muggles. In the largest group of Memory Charms performed in the 20th century, a vacationing wizarding family by the name of Toke removed the memories of the incident from all Muggles involved. However, despite their mass memory charming, some individuals managed to escape with their memories intact, including a certain "Dodgy" Dirk who maintains to this day, much to the obvious confusion of Muggles, that a "dirty great flying lizard" punctured his lilo.[1]

Tallinn triumph continues Spain's U19 dominance
Sunday 15 July 2012
Article summary
It took Spain 80 minutes to break down Greece in the UEFA European Under-19 Championship final but their victory in Estonia was a sixth in just 11 editions of the competition.
Article top media content
Article body
Spain have long been the team to beat at the UEFA European Under-19 Championship, their defeat of Greece securing their sixth title in 11 seasons.
The Iberian side have dominated since the competition switched from being an U18 event in 2002; La Rojita won only one of the 17 editions of the European U18 Championship but have been without peer in the new competition. Fernando Torres scored the only goal of the first final as Germany were defeated in Oslo and 1-0 was also the scoreline in Spain's next triumph, against Turkey in 2004.
Italy triumphed in 2003 and France added to their four U18 titles two years later before Spain regained the initiative, defeating Scotland in the 2006 showpiece and Greece a year later to become the first team to retain the trophy. Germany got their name on the cup in 2008 and 12 months later Ukraine became the first host nation to take the spoils when overcoming England in front of a record crowd of 25,100 in Donetsk.
In 2010 France also triumphed on home soil, overcoming Spain, but La Rojita were back the following year to finally see off the Czech Republic in a thrilling final in Bucharest. The 2012 competition would end in similar fashion as Greece succumbed by the same scoreline as in 2007 to become only the second team to lose two finals after England, runners-up in 2005 and 2009.

The Jets get serious for about three days, the Cowboys make us wish we had Mental Image Wipes and the Saints teach us how little this week's opposing quarterback has in common with last week's opposing quarterback. Peyton Manning is the Chuck Berry of the no-huddle offense, but Joe Flacco's tribute band is shaping up, and if the Raiders don't remind you to get your oil changed, nothing will. Or, as the Chiefs might say on Twitter: Get a clue! This week's Lowdown was made possible by a handshake agreement.
(All times Eastern; all Sunday games ranked by quality of matchup.)
Detroit Lions at San Francisco 49ers
8:20 p.m. Sunday, NBC
Line: 49ers by 8
There's a standard exercise called The Handshake Problem that can be found in most elementary math textbooks. "Seven people are at a dinner party. Each person shakes hands with every other person exactly once. How many total handshakes occur?"
There are three correct answers to this problem: 1) Twenty-one handshakes. 2) If the people who wrote math textbooks were ever invited to dinner parties, they would know that people do not stand around shaking hands. Seriously, all of that awkward human contact sounds like it's happening around the Dungeon Master's kitchen table. 3) If Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz are two of the guests, there is one handshake, followed by 30 minutes of cursing and bludgeoning.
The Handshake Problem for promoting an NFL game is different for the one used to teach counting principles. "Two playoff teams featuring diverse and fascinating characters like Randy Moss, Ndamukong Suh, Calvin Johnson and Patrick Willis square off in a nationally televised prime-time game. How do you promote the game?"
The accepted answer: as a pro-wrestling grudge match between the coaches, with photos of each pictured in the throes of a wide-mouthed bellow, as if they are about to swallow each other's faces. A better answer: as a chance for the 49ers to prove, just as they did against the Packers, that one-dimensional passing offenses are no match for their defense.
Prediction: 49ers 22, Lions 20

New York Jets at Pittsburgh Steelers
4:25 p.m. Sunday, CBS
Line: Steelers by 5
In the long history of motivational speeches, Henry V on Saint Crispin's Day and "Win one for the Gipper" may have to move over for Rex Ryan's Week 1 sermon to the Jets: "If you're tired of the media portraying you as a bunch of clowns, honk your noses twice."
As every parent of a teenager knows, nothing projects maturity like stomping your feet, rolling your eyes and demanding to be treated like an adult. The Jets cleaned their room without being asked one time; now, they expect the car keys and no curfew. Beat a playoff opponent on the road, boys, and then we'll talk. Darrelle Revis (concussion) is questionable, and the Jets are already retreating from their Week 1 offensive success, dropping coy Tim Tebow hints to scare the Steelers into preparing for the quarterback who stunned them in last year's playoffs. Meanwhile, Bart Scott ended four days of merciful media boycott to lobby for the Jets to bring back Plaxico Burress, who helped make 2011 so magical. So if you were trying to pinpoint exactly when the Jets' counterproductive habits would return, don't bother. They're already here.
Prediction: Steelers 23, Jets 10

Baltimore Ravens at Philadelphia Eagles
1 p.m. Sunday, CBS
Line: Eagles by 1
Forget everything you thought you knew about the Ravens' offense, which used to be the 1976 Mercury Cougar of NFL schemes. The Ravens now have fuel injectors. Their new no-huddle offense allows Flacco to make adjustments at the line and distribute short passes instead of just methodically handing off to Ray Rice or trying to launch a low-orbital aircraft. The new system takes some getting used to -- while Peyton Manning appears to be barking invasion plans at the line of scrimmage, Flacco looks like he's taking lunch orders -- but it worked to the tune of 430 total yards against the Bengals. Also, the Ravens' defense is still great, and the more Ed Reed hems and haws about his hamstring, the more likely he is to play.
Meanwhile, Andy Reid is slightly adjusting the Eagles' homeopathic run-pass ratio so LeSean McCoy can have more than seven first-half carries. In a world where the Ravens' offense is opening up, is it possible to dream of the Eagles' passing game throttling down?
Prediction: Ravens 20, Eagles 16

New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers
1 p.m. Sunday, Fox
Line: Saints by 2½
Cam Newton, the quarterback the Saints face this week, sure does have a lot in common with Robert Griffin III, the quarterback whose Redskins beat them last week. For example, they're both … quarterbacks! And Heisman Trophy winners! (So is Sam Bradford, who for some reason doesn't draw the same comparisons.) And … they're both fast, as are most young quarterbacks. Also … hey, help me out, Panthers coach Ron Rivera!
"They are two different guys physically," Rivera told CBSSports.com. "Cam's got probably 50 pounds and four inches [on Griffin]."
No, no, coach. We are looking for similarities. Both are right-handed, for example, unlike Tim Tebow, a recent Heisman-winning quarterback who can run. Perhaps Saints defender Jonathan Casillas, who has prepared for both quarterbacks, can pinpoint what makes Newton and Griffin so similar.
"Cam is like Ben Roethlisberger. He holds the ball looking to make a play, and it can hurt him at times, but he's so strong and so powerful, he can throw the ball downfield with D-linemen hanging on him."
Roethlisberger? We're talking about Newton and Griffin here, who are nearly identical except that Newton is much bigger and has a markedly different college background (one-year phenom in the SEC versus three-year starter for a rebuilding program) and playing styles.
There is one other big difference between Griffin and Newton: The Saints showed last season that they could figure out Newton. Newton threw two touchdowns and ran for a third in a narrow Saints win in their first meeting, but was held to just 158 passing yards in a 45-17 Saints win in the rematch. So really, this is a matter of apples and oranges, and it's easy to see the difference if you peel beneath the surface.
Prediction: Saints 34, Panthers 27

Kansas City Chiefs at Buffalo Bills
1 p.m. Sunday, CBS
Line: Bills by 3
No two teams punish preseason optimism like the Bills and Chiefs, who treat the start of the year like a boozy Flugtag, their lovingly assembled contraptions never able to fly so much as plummet. An early Chiefs-Bills game is a favor by the schedule-makers to those of us who were yet again taken in by each team's veneer of competence: At least one team will justify our preseason enthusiasm by being .500 for a few days. Unless there is a tie. Please don't be a tie.
Ryan Fitzpatrick called the Bills' loss to the Jets a "wake-up call." A team that went seven years without a winning record, then 0-4 in the preseason, does not need a wake-up call. It needs the hotel manager standing over the bed with a strobe light and a bullhorn. The Chiefs, meanwhile, used their official Twitter account to tell a disgruntled fan to "get a clue." Hey, if we were looking for a clue, we wouldn't be following the Chiefs on Twitter!
Prediction: Bills 19, Chiefs 13

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New York Giants
1 p.m. Sunday, Fox
Line: Giants by 9
No coach preaches fundamentals as often or as vehemently as Tom Coughlin, but Greg Schiano is doing his darnedest to catch up. Schiano's emphasis on Football 101 during the Buccaneers' offseason became mythology; we were left with an image of Schiano pointing down and stating "this is grass" while his players took copious notes. The back-to-basics approach paid off against the Panthers, who were shocked to discover that Bucs defenders knew how to wrap their arms around ball carriers and force them to the ground, a technique Schiano refers to as "tackling."
Coughlin is not one to be outdone when it comes to stressing the mundane, particularly after a sloppy season opener in which the Giants demonstrated poor fundamentals. Coughlin spoke of "a renewed conviction about preparation and about practice," and ordered his Giants to "grind," which doesn't sound racy or awkward the way he says it. Eli Manning, meanwhile, mouthed the usual Coughlin-isms about better practice principles and execution. If only all of life's problems could be solved by doing the same things we always do, only slightly better. Wait, maybe they can be …

Dallas Cowboys at Seattle Seahawks

Line: Cowboys by 3
Poor Jerry Jones. His Cowboys defeated the Super Bowl champions in the season opener. A new star emerged in wide receiver Kevin Ogletree. The Cowboys' brightest stars -- Tony Romo, DeMarcus Ware, Jason "Titanium Spleen" Witten -- twinkled as brightly as possible under the prime-time television lights. But all anyone wanted to talk about was Jones' son-in-law, Shy Anderson, who in the fine Carlo Rizzi tradition ("give him a living"), was immortalized as the First Eyeglass Wiper to the King.
Now, Anderson has a plan to market "Jerry Wipes." Yes, it has come to pass that one of the marquee sports franchises on the planet, the one that helped invent the idea of using brand recognition to create an international fan base, is planning to market a product that sounds like it should be advertised during midday health-and-well-being programs hosted by women in lab coats on local cable. Again, poor Jerry Jones, who brought all of this on himself.
Prediction: Seahawks 23, Cowboys 20

Oakland Raiders at Miami Dolphins
1 p.m. Sunday, CBS
Line: Raiders by 1
Whenever a long snapper gets hurt, 31 other teams scramble to find backups on their active roster, while the rest of us suddenly remember to tend to life's easy-to-neglect periodic maintenance tasks. Have your smoke-alarm batteries been changed this millennium? Did you install your most recent anti-virus software from a floppy disk? Have you changed the baking soda in the fridge, or is the crisper supposed to smell like Cameron Wake's gym bag? A long-snapper cataclysm like the Raiders suffered on Monday night has a silver lining: No one is talking about their lifeless, checkdown-heavy offense. The Dolphins could use a distraction like that. But first, they must determine who their backup long-snapper is. And make sure there isn't a family of raccoons nesting in the dryer vent.
Prediction: Dolphins 16, Raiders 10

Having noticed how rugged and courageous Tom Brady looked while playing with a gauze bandage over the bridge of his nose, Kevin Kolb takes the field this week with his entire face wrapped up like a mummy from a "Scooby-Doo" cartoon. The illusion of bravery is shattered, however, when Kolb sees his own image on the stadium screen, panics and runs screaming toward the right sideline.

Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars
1 p.m. Sunday, CBS
Line: Texans by 8
Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt, who had 1½ sacks and several deflected passes against the Dolphins, said that he figured out the Dolphins' snap count by watching HBO's "Hard Knocks." Watt sounds like the detective in forensics shows who finds the clue in the hostage video that everyone else misses. "There, over the victim's shoulder, magnify and enhance! Out the window … see it? It's the sign for Pariani's Bakery! The hideout is in the wharf district! Also, if you look at the television in the corner of the room, Ryan Tannehill is bobbing his head before taking the snap!" Watt's plan to get an edge this week backfired when he cued up tape of the Jaguars' offense and immediately lost consciousness.

Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals
1 p.m. Sunday, CBS
Line: Bengals by 8
Much has been made about the fact that Brandon Weeden's current quarterback rating of 5.1 is roughly comparable to the 5.02 ERA he amassed when he was a minor league pitcher. But the numerological coincidences do not end there. Weeden's average score during his three years as a competitive figure skater (he wedged it in between his pitching stint with the Staten Island Yankees and his brief sumo period) was 5.35. When Weeden refinanced his home in the fall of 2007, he earned a 5.05 percent interest rate. And the thunderous sound of Browns fans demanding Colt McCoy registered 5.2 on the Richter scale on Monday morning. Weeden is sure to perform better in the future than he did against the Eagles. Take it from the Browns, who have averaged 5.25 wins over the last eight years.

Minnesota Vikings at Indianapolis Colts
1 p.m. Sunday, Fox
Line: Even
Maybe it's just the transcription, but when describing the Vikings' offense Christian Ponder sounds like an 8-year-old who just drank the milk at the bottom of a bowl of Cocoa Frosted Hyperactivity Blasts cereal. "I just go out there and play with that sense of urgency and I think that starts with the tempo that you call the play and you break the huddle immediately and you get everyone to get up there and run the play," he told ESPN 1500 in the Twin Cities. "With our no-huddle, it can be a very fast-paced offense. But also, we can slow it down and try to make sure we try to get in the right play and stuff." Maybe the Vikings should rechristen their scheme the Run-on Sentence Offense.

Robert Griffin III has already become so ubiquitous that his face is more recognizable among American preschoolers than those of President Obama and SpongeBob combined. Griffin also looms large over the Saints-Panthers capsule, so let's use this space to say a few pertinent things about the Rams. 1) Their defense appears to be much improved, now that Cortland Finnegan has replaced the little rabbit from the dog track at cornerback. 2) Their offense still operates like some kind of cosmic punishment for Steven Jackson's past-life sins. 3) Their special teams are spearheaded by kicker Greg "The Leg" Zuerlein, who had three field goals last week, and by kickoff returner Isaiah Pead, whose name is impossible to say out loud without picturing a soccer mom changing a diaper.

Chargers running backs ran 17 times for 22 yards on Monday night. Titans running backs rushed 14 times for nine yards on Sunday. The Chargers are waiting for Ryan Mathews to return from a collarbone injury, but he's doubtful for Sunday, which means more Ronnie Brown and Curtis Brinkley. The Titans are waiting for the Earth to start spinning backward so Chris Johnson can go back in time and have his 2009 season all over again, which means another week of Titans running backs averaging 23 inches per rush.

Denver Broncos at Atlanta Falcons
8:30 p.m. Monday, ESPN
Line: Falcons by 3
There's a classic scene in the movie "Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll" in which Berry complains to Keith Richards that a roadie has changed the settings on his amplifier. "It sounds the way I wish it to sound. The way it's GOING to sound if I am playing," Berry says. "That's the way Chuck Berry plays it! You understand?"
Someone messed with Peyton Manning's settings in the first half of the Steelers game. The Broncos huddled, the offense looked highly scripted and Manning took a few uncharacteristic hits in the pocket. In the second half, the Broncos looked the way Manning wishes them to look, the way they are going to look if Manning is playing. The no-huddle is Manning's 12-bar blues, the audible at the line his note-bending guitar fill.
Matt Ryan may not be a legend like Manning, but Roddy White, Julio Jones and Tony Gonzalez support him with an impressive wall of sound arrangement. The Broncos may not be up to beating a solid-all-around team like the Falcons on the road, but they are going to be very good as long as they play the way Peyton Manning plays.
Prediction: Falcons 27, Broncos 24

Blue Jays expect Reyes back Friday in Cleveland
MINNEAPOLIS -- Jose Reyes still appears on track to re-join the Blue Jays in time for their upcoming weekend series in Cleveland.
Reyes played in an extended spring training game in Florida on Monday and was in the lineup for Class A Dunedin on Tuesday night. He's expected to appear in at least two official rehab games before the Blue Jays re-evaluate his situation.
The All-Star shortstop has been out since he suffered a strained hamstring during his first at-bat of the season on March 31. He's eligible to come off the DL on Wednesday, and while that won't be happening it also doesn't appear as though Toronto will have to wait much longer.
"That's the plan right now unless he has a little setback," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Tuesday afternoon. "He'll play [Tuesday and [Wednesday] and then probably travel on Thursday to Cleveland and be ready to go Friday. That's the plan."
Blue Jays closer Casey Janssen also made his first official rehab appearance for Class A Dunedin on Tuesday night. Janssen pitched one scoreless inning and allowed one hit with one strikeout. The timeline for his return isn't as clear as the one for Reyes.
Janssen is expected to need at least two more appearances in the Minors before returning. That would seem to make it unlikely Janssen would join the Blue Jays in Cleveland. A more realistic scenario would see him activated off the DL for Toronto's home game against the Orioles on April 22.
Janssen, 32, has been out since he suffered a strained lower back late in Spring Training. Right-hander Sergio Santos entered play on Tuesday night with four saves during Janssen's absence.

Bosnia and Herzegovina
Since 1995, the international community has invested an enormous amount of resources and effort to help Bosnia and Herzegovina develop into a modern multi-ethnic democratic state. And with good reason. The lack of an appropriate response to the vicious war fought between 1992 and 1995 proved humiliating for the international community, Europe in particular, and disastrous for the people of the region.
ESI has been active in Bosnia since 1999, producing over 20 reports and discussion papers, more than for any other country we have covered. We have followed the development of post-war power structures, analysed economic challenges, developed a proposal for constitutional change, and critically examined the question of international power and its limits. We have also followed Bosnia's EU accession process and the challenges ahead.

The Simulation Group within Mott Macdonald has been using CFX-4 and CFX-5 from ANSYS CFX for more than 12 years to solve a wide variety of problems relating principally to fire safety, wind engineering and power generation.
The Maitreya Project International is planning to build one of the largest statues of the Buddha in the world. The statue, with a height of 152m and a design life of 1000 years, is to be located in northern India. Mott Macdonald has been acting as consultant for a number of aspects of the design as well as the project management. The unusual nature and size of the structure mean that a number of advanced analysis techniques, including computational fluid dynamics, are required to overcome the many design challenges. During the preliminary design phase, one key issue to be addressed was the effect of extreme wind loads on the structure. It was decided to use a CFD approach for the initial determination of these loads, to be backed up by wind-tunnel testing and further CFD studies later in the project.

Vermont Vital Records
This entry was originally written by Scott Andrew Bartley and Alice Eichholz, Ph.D., CG for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
The first settlers of Vermont carried on the early New England tradition of recording events at the town level. The vital records are incomplete before mandatory registration began in 1857, but where they exist before ca. 1820 it is common to find an entire family recorded as a family group. In some cases, although the event was recorded in a particular town, it may have actually occurred in another town or state where the family previously resided. Not all the births were recorded, even for families that did report some. Marriages and deaths in the pre-1857 period were less likely to be recorded.
What was recorded, with some exceptions, has been extracted from the originals in the towns and indexed in a central file held by the Vermont Public Records Division Vermont Public Records Division. All events indexed up to the last five years can be seen in person or ordered from the division's new facility at 1078 U.S. Rt. 2, Middlesex, VT (Exit 9 on Interstate 89). The mailing address is General Services Administration, Drawer 33, Montpelier, VT 05633-7601.
Anyone can search the microfilm at the Public Records Division at no charge, or a search can be requested by mail for a charge of $9.50 per event. This cost includes a certified copy of the microfilmed index card, if found, containing a reference for locating the original record in the individual town records. The microfilmed card index is broken down into five time periods: 1760'1870; 1871'1908; 1909'41; 1942'54; 1955'1979; and then yearly from 1980 up to, but not including, the most recent five years. The statewide index was created between 1919 and 1920. The state's Vital Records Office (see below) transfers all but the last five years to the Public Records Division. Separate cards for births, marriages (both bride and groom), death, and cemetery records are in the index. Cemetery cards, however, appear only in the 1760'1870 microfilm grouping. The statewide index was created from 1919 to 1920, and in the process, the state surveyed all the cemeteries in Vermont to record deaths before 1857, the year mandatory recording began. Generally, only those gravestones that were still standing in 1919, and mentioned deaths before 1857, were included in the survey and therefore in the index.
Vital records for only the last five years are found at the Vital Records Office , 108 Cherry St., P.O. Box 70, Burlington, VT 05402 . All earlier records are at the Public Records Division. Files are open to the public but accessed by a clerk. The cost, either in person or by mail, is $9.50 (in 2004) per event.
No thorough survey has ever been taken to determine whether some towns' early vital records were inadvertently missed in the statewide index. It is known that Holland, Sheffield, Maidstone, and Troy vital records were not included, and some vital records from Burlington in the 1870s seem to be missing entirely.
After 1857, many births were recorded before a child was named. Unnamed infants are listed in reverse chronological order in the front of that surname's listing in the card index. The index is filed in strict alphabetical order. Variants in spellings must be checked thoroughly.
Microfilm copies of the vital records indexes, in the same five time periods described above through 1979 and then in yearly groupings through 1990, are available at the New England Historic Genealogical Society (see page 13) and through the Family History Library (FHL) in Salt Lake City.
The online subscription database at <www.ancestry.com> includes the Vermont death index, 1909'2008 and Vermont Death Index, 1981-2001 . You can also find Swanton, Franklin county, Vermont, Church Records, 1872-1934: Saint Mary's Church Death Records.
While the state issues a certified copy of the microfilmed index card as its 'official' record, the original record is in the town clerk's office, often recorded with other family vital records, may provide additional information helpful in research. Once the index card has been located with the reference for the original record, it is often important to obtain a copy of the event as it appears in its original form. The reference on the index card will indicate where to locate the event in the town's original records. Since a large majority of the town's original records are also on microfilm in the Public Records Division, microfilm copies of the originals can be researched there. Vermont's town records before 1850 are also on microfilm through the FHL, although the holdings are not as complete as at the Public Records Division.
The Public Records Division has a separate statewide microfilm index for divorce decrees (1861 to 1968); the decree books themselves are also microfilmed and available there. Summary divorce papers (1968'1979) are arranged alphabetically by surname in one group at the division.

Questioning women: Inquiring minds / meaningful looks
March is Women's History Month, and currently two of the brightest art sparks in town are either femme-powered or femme-focused. In the case of the former, seven women artists and art historians are fostering intellectual inquiry into all things art-related with a new community website, theartklatch.com. Meanwhile, the Niche in the Fine Arts Library is screening Kate Gilmore's performance videos dealing with feminine expectations.
I'll give you a topic: Art. Discuss.
Cvillemuse.com may be no more, but the tireless Kate Daughdrill, cofounder of The Garage, and six of her friends– Leah Cupino, Jenny Garnett, Carissa Henriques, Lauren Maupin, Stephanie deSocio and Kathryn Wagner–have created a new blog, the Art Klatch, dedicated to critical discourse about art in the Charlottesville community. Arising from a desire for serious conversation, the website officially launched February 20.
According to Daughdrill, Art Klatch's organizers will contribute posts every Tuesday and Thursday, while Wednesdays will feature a guest blogger. The site also features a sidebar of suggested articles, exhibitions, and other items of interest to art-lovers. Daughdrill says the group plans to host monthly Art Klatch meetings at a local bar to discuss specific topics, which she hopes will lead to "little moments of community in real life."
With posts ranging from a reflection on the power of moving images to a lament about factors that deter devotion to art, the site is already averaging 80 hits a day. "We would just love to see an active community of people who are commenting," says Daughdrill. "We need a forum like this to engage and learn and to have people respond to ideas."
The Niche in the Fine Arts Library continues its series of women's videos involving performance with three shorts by New York-based artist Kate Gilmore, whose work humorously yet painfully depicts the difficulty of fulfilling and/or breaking free of society's feminine dictates. In each piece, a fixed camera records Gilmore, all girlied up in lipstick and frilly clothes, as she inhabits a world of childlike stars and hearts. Try as she might to perform her roles prettily, she nevertheless gets brutally assaulted with rotten tomatoes in With Open Arms, and scratched by splintering wood in Star Bright, Star Might.
Any woman who has had a male stranger admonish her to "smile" will recognize Gilmore's artistic territory. Fortunately, Daughdrill and the Art Klatch crew would rather hear her talk about art.
The Art Klatch is at http://www.theartklatch.com. Kate Gilmore's videos, With Open Arms, Star Bright, Star Might, and Baby, Belong to Me, are on view through March 8 at the Niche in the Fine arts Library. Fiske Kimball Fine Arts Library, Bayly Dr. (across from the Architecture School). For more information, visit The Niche's blog: http://thelibraryniche.blogspot.com

NEWS- Garrett's plea: Publicist guilty of reduced charge
After more than a year of courtroom delays, the forgery case against publicist-to-the-stars and chicken farmer Tommy Lightfoot Garrett came to an end on Friday, April 18 in Buckingham County Court with more of a whimper than a bang.
Garrett, who had been facing 15 felony counts of forging and uttering, pled guilty to just one reduced charge– entering the property of another with the intention of damaging it, a class-one misdemeanor. He was given a 12-month suspended jail sentence, two years unsupervised probation, and was ordered to pay his victim, David Kimbell, $3,500 restitution.
The plea deal, announced in court on Friday, kept court-watchers from hearing what promised to be riveting testimony detailing the allegations behind the charges– that over the course of at least 18 months in 2004 and 2005, Garrett forged checks he'd stolen from Kimbell, whom he'd befriended several months before Kimbell's grandmother died in November 2002.
Kimbell says both he and Garrett attended St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Buckingham County and that early in the friendship he was impressed by Garrett's Hollywood connections (among the 70 clients on Garrett's website for his publicity firm, Icon PR, are Tab Hunter, Glenn Ford, and Ruta Lee) and grateful that Garrett had offered to help him sell a screenplay he'd written.
"I'm a trusting person," says Kimbell, explaining he had no reason to doubt Garrett's celebrity connections or his honesty. Within months he had granted Garrett "carte blanche" access to the New Canton home he shared with his dying grandmother. He had also, he later found out, given him carte blanche access to the balance transfer checks sent to him by credit card companies.
Garrett, whose website claims offices in Manhattan, Chicago, and Beverly Hills– with two more opening in D.C. and London– has long maintained his innocence of the forgery charges. His first attorney, Dana Slater, whom he later replaced with James Ghee, called the allegations "false" and "outrageous." Garrett, Slater said, was "trying to help" Kimbell, who she claimed was having trouble taking care of himself at the time.
In fact, there is some record of Garrett's concern for Kimbell. In 2005 Garrett went to the Buckingham magistrate's office to ask that Kimbell be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility. Kimbell says– and shows documents to confirm– that he was quickly released after psychiatrists could find no basis for the commitment.
"He was trying to project this whole thing that I was incompetent," says Kimbell of Garrett.
Kimbell's not the only person to have a legal run-in with Garrett, who first gained media attention in 1995 thanks to a $930,000 lawsuit he filed against the owner of the Bremo Bluff funeral home. In that suit, Garrett alleged that Charles Colbert had reneged on a promissory note, had falsely accused him of stealing, and had inflicted intentional emotional distress by calling him a racial epithet and for allegedly taking indecent liberties with corpses.
A jury didn't buy the necrophilia portion of Garrett's claim, but did award him $41,000, according to archived articles in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Colbert counter-sued and settled out of court with Garrett and several media outlets for an undisclosed sum.
Both Colbert and Kimbell say they would like to have seen the original forgery charges stick, but Kimbell says he's relieved the legal ordeal is over and that there has been a conviction– even if only for a misdemeanor. "He's a convicted criminal," says Kimbell. "He's not a felon, but he's a criminal."
Buckingham County Commonwealth's Attorney E.M. Wright declined comment on the case or his decision to offer the deal.
Following his guilty plea, Garrett left the courthouse accompanied by Ghee, his Farmville-based attorney. Dressed in a black suit, he remained silent as Ghee, citing the reduction of charges from 15 felonies to one misdemeanor and the removal of any mention of forgery, pronounced his client "vindicated."

text: During World War II, to deter air and submarine attacks, the Federal government's Office of Civilian Defense and the various State Defense Councils enforced a variety of blackout restrictions. This was particularly important along Florida's long, exposed coastline, where lights from houses, hotels, and amusement parks could silhouette allied merchant ships and make them inviting targets for German U-Boats. Civil Defense wardens enforced these blackout regulations, which remained in effect for the duration of the war. Reproduced here are blackout orders issued by Florida Governor Spessard Holland and the commanding officer of Key West and distributed by the Civilian Defense Council of Palm Beach.

NEW ORLEANS - Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco apologized for his word selection in criticizing the NFL's decision to hold next year's Super Bowl in an outdoor stadium at a cold-weather site.
On Monday, Flacco was asked about the game being played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
"I think it's retarded. I probably shouldn't say that. I think it's stupid," he said.
On Tuesday, he was contrite.
"Obviously, it was a poor choice of words," he said. "At home, I have a close relationship with Special Olympics. I didn't mean to offend anyone."
Flacco would like nothing more than to return to the Super Bowl next year, even if it might be in freezing conditions for the first time. It's in his home state to boot.
The fifth-year pro from Audubon, N.J., preparing for Sunday's Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers, is not a fan of playing the next big game in East Rutherford.
"I think it's obvious reasons," Flacco said. "They've done it the way they've been doing it for 47 years. There's a lot that goes into this game, more than just playing the game: It's about the fans and it's about the players that played for the right to get there. There are a lot of things that go into it and it's just kind of a crazy decision, I believe."
� NFL honors
Celebrity presenters for "NFL Honors," the TV show featuring The Associated Press awards, will include Steve Carell and Channing Tatum.
The program will air Saturday night, Super Bowl eve, from 9-11 p.m. EST on CBS, which also is televising the game on Sunday.
Other presenters will include Connie Britton, Jason Clarke, Josh Charles, Craig Ferguson, Nina Dobrev, Jeremy Renner, Olivia Munn, and Zoe Saldana.
The AP will present the league's MVP, Coach of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, and Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year during "NFL Honors."
Actor Alec Baldwin will host the show, which will feature live performances from One Republic and New Orleans' natives The Soul Rebels.
� Necklace? What necklace?
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was asked about the "necklace" he wears on the sideline during games that includes a Sharpie. He seemed taken aback.
"Well I take great offense that you call it a necklace. It's a whistle," he said with a smile, drawing laughs from the media. "It's a coaches' whistle that coaches have long worn around their neck. I believe every coach should have a whistle. It's hard to imagine going out to practice without a whistle.
"Then I just put a pen onto the whistle string. It's not complicated at all. If I need a pen, it's just right there."
� Moss wants more
Last week, the Ravens' Ed Reed said he plans to be back for another season. On Tuesday, the 49ers' Randy Moss said he wants to come back, too.
One of the first questions Moss was asked when the 49ers kicked off Super Bowl media day Tuesday was whether Sunday's game would be the final one of his 14-year, five-team, potential Hall of Fame career.
"I've thought about it," the 35-year-old Moss said, "I do want to play another year."
Moss has seen limited playing time this season with 28 catches for 434 yards and three TDs, plus five catches for 71 yards in the playoffs.
The 34-year-old Reed promised to be "playing next year," ending speculation he was about to call it a career. Reed, a nine-time Pro Bowler and probable Hall of Famer, is finishing his 11th season, and was one of only two players on the Ravens' defense to start all 16 regular-season games. He has a club record 61 interceptions and the NFL-record of 1,541 yards in interception returns.
NEVER TUCKERED OUT: Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was extremely patient telling every single person just how much it means to be an undrafted rookie in the Super Bowl.
Even the guy who asked him to answer a series of questions in hash tags, Twitter-style.
"In Twitter hash tags? All right, let's try it out," Tucker responded to the odd request in a day full of them.
Being at the Super Bowl? "Hash tag, awesome."
Beyonce Knowles? "Hash tag, awesome."
Destiny's Child reunion? "I mean, hash tag, awesomer, I guess. That's a pretty good group."
Winning the Super Bowl? "Hash tag, unbelievable."
DANCIN' NINER: The 49ers' podium move of the day goes to Vernon Davis. The tight end sat up straight in his seat and demonstrated longtime long-snapper Brian Jennings' unique pregame ritual for the media day crowd. Davis crossed his arms in front of his face and fluttered them in a smooth, downward motion.
Yoga or tai chi, perhaps?
"It's yoga, tai chi," Davis said. "It's weird, but it works for him."
Davis' pregame routine sounds rather boring in comparison: He eats lots of vegetables and a chicken breast.
MARYLAND CONNECTION: The University of Maryland has produced several notable NFL quarterbacks, including Boomer Esiason, Frank Reich and Neil O'Donnell.
The quality of quarterbacks in College Park hasn't been up to that standard lately, but there will be two Terrapins with solid hands playing in the Super Bowl.
Tight end Vernon Davis will start for San Francisco and wide receiver Torrey Smith is starting for Baltimore.
"He's one of the greatest Terps," Smith said of Davis. "He's a great guy and we hang out in the offseason."
This isn't for bragging rights.
"We're not really playing against each other since we're on the same side of the ball," Smith said. "And so, either way, the University of Maryland wins."

We not only own Milestones downtown, but we also have made our home upstairs. It's been this way for more than 10 years and for the most part we enjoy it. We have a nice comfortable home with a deck with a fountain, a garden, and a gentle breeze that flows through the loft on a warm pleasant day when I open the windows. I like the sound of the fountain when I'm on the deck, working in my kitchen or in the sitting room. I like sitting quietly listening to music while I read.
After reading last week's editorial by DGG, I've given considerable thought to what nickname I might receive as I say we absolutely object to music playing downtown 11 hours a day. We would object to waking up to it, if we're trying to watch TV, or if we're just appreciating the quiet time when everyone leaves for home about 5 p.m. and I work in my gardens...just me and the birds.
The Christmas barrage was more than enough for us. We don't want someone else's music choices coming into our home. I might be having a Nora Jones kind of day or a Brad Paisley or even a Beyoncé day. The male side of "we" prefers no music at all. We should be allowed that choice in our home.
I did read the names of the "Chamber" members and did not see any who would be subjected to the music for long periods. They are all people who are either shut up in their air conditioned offices or not even in town.
We would expect that our neighbors where we live would object if we were noisily upsetting their households, just as we hope our neighbors would respect us enough not to disrupt our home life with their choices.
If anyone does not understand our objections, I'll be glad to find a big ol' boombox, set it up on their front lawn and let it play full blast while they are home relaxing for a few hours. It's just a thought.
We do object to any music playing downtown all summer, and bravo, DGG.
– Ray and Cheryl Cowgill

Cute, but I take issue with the "Gnostic Atheist" quadrant. In my experience, while it is theoretically possible for there to be people like that, it is a non existent caricature. Even the famous Richard Dawkins stops short of such an absolutist stance. Likewise, the "Agnostic Theist" is a theoretical possibility--and I have come across one or two, but they are very rare and far and few between, and most of them tend to put themselves in the Agnostic camp.
Insofar as I'm concerned, There Are No Gods ... and until someone can come up with indisputable evidence to the contrary, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
And you bear out my point with your "insofar as I'm concerned," we are almost all so bloody scientifically minded that we qualify just about everything (heck, I just did it twice)
You say that like it's a bad thing! [grin!]
Good point.
The proof of whether or not god (or any gods) exist is in the evidence. Here is how that breaks down.
1. The sacred writings claiming to be the word of god in some way. Upon examination these writings are flawed and contain no evidence at all. They are the writings of men, and god is not trying to communicate with you.
2. The wonder and awe of the earth and the universe itself. We know very little but science is explaining more of it every day. None of it is explained by sacred writings.
If you know the above to be true, then you know that god is not trying to get in touch with you, or reveal himself to you. It would appear that god is strictly imaginary.

Meg Whitman, former eBay executive, won the Republican nomination for governor in California on Tuesday.
The Associated Press called the race shortly after 8:30 p.m.

News from around the country and around the globe
Check Live Election Night Results
Results for Republican Governor Primary
Whitman, the billionaire former eBay chief executive who poured tens of millions of her own fortune into her first-time bid for political office, easily won the Republican primary for California governor Tuesday, advancing to face a Democratic icon, former two-term Gov. Jerry Brown, who secured his party's nomination on Tuesday, too.
Whitman, 53, worked on the presidential campaigns of Mitt Romney and John McCain. She has spent much of the primary in tightly scripted appearances and was criticized early on for avoiding detailed questions from political reporters.
The opponent Whitman beat Tuesday, state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, is a wealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneur who spent $25 million of his money on his race.
With 22 percent of precincts reporting, Whitman had 63 percent of the vote compared to Poizner's 27 percent.
"I am battle-tested and I'm ready to give Jerry Brown the toughest election fight he's faced in his 40 years of politics," Whitman told raucous supporters at a hotel in Universal City. The group erupted in cheers, waved the state flag, and screamed "We want Meg! We want Meg!"
Poizner conceded defeat, but hedged on whether he would throw his support to Whitman who holds more moderate views.
"If Meg Whitman runs on conservative principles, she deserves our full support," he said.
The heated battle with Poizner to win over conservative GOP primary voters forced Whitman to move to the right on issues such as abortion and illegal immigration, moves that could hurt her against Brown in November.
Democrats and moderate independents comprise two-thirds of the electorate in California. Without a serious primary challenger, Brown has positioned himself as a moderate, pledging not to raise taxes and to make the kind of spending cuts that Whitman also campaigned on.
The gubernatorial race promises to be the most expensive in state history.
Whitman has already spent more than $81 million on her primary race, all but $10 million of it her own, far outpacing any previous primary contest in California. She had previously said she would spend $150 million in all on her gubernatorial bid, but has declined in recent weeks to say whether that number is now higher.
Earlier on Tuesday, a confident Whitman was practicing her acceptance when a San Francisco Chronicle reporter recorded her teleprompter speech.
Whitman proclaimed "Thank you so much ... What a great night! This victory is yours! I just received a very gracious phone call from Steve Poizner conceding the race." The Chronicle reporter captured the whole thing using a small camera.
It can be viewed on the San Francisco Chronicle website.
NBCLA reporter Conan Nolan covering the Whitman victory party reported that she planned on accepting the nomination before Poizner concedes. The very first poll results released Tuesday night showed Whitman leading Poizer about 2-1.

Verreault-Paul, Solar Bears agree to terms
Orlando, FL - The Orlando Solar Bears, proud affiliate of the NHL's Minnesota Wild and Toronto Maple Leafs and AHL's Iowa Wild and Toronto Marlies, announced today that they have agreed to terms with forward Francis Verreault-Paul. Orlando acquired the rights to Verreault-Paul in a trade with the Bakersfield Condors on Francis Verreault-Paul October 25.
Verreault-Paul (5-10, 187 lbs.) completed his first professional season last year, splitting time between the Greenville Road Warriors and Bakersfield Condors. He was fourth in scoring on Greenville at the time he was traded to Bakersfield in late December and finished the season with 16 goals and 31 assists for 47 points and 152 PIM in 60 games and was selected to play in the ECHL All-Star Classic in Colorado. He made his professional debut at the end of the 2011-12 season picking up one assist and four PIM in six games with the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League.
A native of Roberval, Quebec, Verreault-Paul played four seasons (2008-2012) at McGill University of the CIS (Canadian Intramural Sport) where he scored 87 goals and added 69 assists for 156 points to go along with 371 PIM in 93 games. In 2011-12, he helped McGill win the University Cup Championship while being named to the CIS All-Tournament Team and winning the CIS University Cup Most Valuable Player Award.
His amateur career also includes five seasons (2003-08) with the Chicoutimi Sagueneens of the QMJHL where he served as an alternate captain for his final two seasons. Verreault-Paul skated in 301 games for Chicoutimi, registering 507 PIM and 189 points on 89 goals and 100 assists. He won a bronze medal in 2003-04 playing for the Canada-Quebec U17 Team at the U17 World Hockey Championships.
The Orlando Solar Bears, the ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Minnesota Wild and Toronto Maple Leafs and AHL's Iowa Wild and Toronto Marlies, play all of their home games at the 2012 Street and Smith's Sports Business Journal Sports Facility of the Year, the Amway Center.

did a big breakfast at Christmas like some do, a few croissants maybe.
Birthdays the same – beautiful fresh orange juice, homemade jams.
Easter Sunday is always special. Somehow the soft boiled egg
is transformed into a celebration, accompanied by soldiers, generously
spread with butter. Some would add a lick of marmite, others anchovy
paste – rather grown up and maybe, if you'll excuse the pun, over-egging
the cake.
I'm a purist – soft-boiled so the white is just set, the yolk runny
and golden. I peel the top – I don't cut it as some do. I don't know why –
maybe it's the ceremony of it all. Anticipation. With each dunk or scoop
of the spoon I add more sea salt and pepper though so that each
mouthful is generously seasoned – eggs just cry
out for it.
The toast, too, is important. It must be white, but country
bread, not the sliced supermarket stuff. And the actual level of
toasting – I like a degree of variance in my soldiers, some very dark
and others ghostly pale – the perfect blend of textures and flavours.
So – although all your effort may go into a beautiful leg of lamb
studded with its traditional friends of garlic, anchovy and rosemary,
spare a thought for breakfast – and enjoy a perfect, runny, soft, dippy

JT and the underground Chinese
Here's what I like about the new Justin Timberlake video for Take Back The Night:
-it's not 8 minutes long
-his rolled up pants (but not as much I like them on Zachary Quinto)
-that dope little kid with the badass moves
-great aerial footage from his concert
Here's what made me laugh during the new Justin Timberlake video for Take Back The Night
-his black bib or bulletproof vest, however you want to see it
-how he's fronting like he hasn't just ripped off MJ
-how he drives away from the real people in the real neighbourhood in his toy vintage car to go back to his gated community
-for the first time, he doesn't look like a teenager anymore. Age is settling into JT's face, can you see it?
Here's what made me side-eye while watching the new Justin Timberlake video for Take Back The Night
-he walks into the back of a Chinese shoppe with the mah-jong going and an old Chinese dude reading the paper with his leg hitched up on his chair and instead of scrambling to hide the money and find their immigration papers, they grin and high-five him like it's totally normal…?
Um, that's not how that sh-t goes down in any underground China hang I've ever been to. And on this I consider myself an expert. Because that's where I grew up. That's my grandmother in the corner there greedily waiting for her winning tile. That's my uncle sucking on a toothpick with a newspaper waiting for an unwelcome to crash the place before kicking the sh-t out of him.
But hey, it's Justin Timberlake with the all-access pass in every 'hood because he's just so popular like that. Please.
