MIAMI (AP) — The caretaker of foster child Rilya Wilson grew to hate the 4-year-old because of defiant behavior, finally smothering the girl with a pillow in 2000 and covering up the slaying with a web of lies, a Florida prosecutor told a jury Tuesday.
Assistant State Attorney Joshua Weintraub said in closing arguments that the law permits the jury to find 67-year-old Geralyn Graham guilty of first-degree murder even though Rilya's body was never found. Graham, who insists she is innocent, faces life in prison if convicted.
Evidence and testimony during the eight-week trial showed that Graham abused Rilya, even confining the girl in a dog cage or keeping her hidden in a laundry room for hours, Weintraub said. It was all because Rilya wouldn't do exactly as Graham ordered, the prosecutor said.
"It happened because of this woman's frustration and hatred of Rilya," Weintraub said. "This woman hated Rilya Wilson for a variety of reasons."
Defense attorney Michael Matters, however, said there was little testimony about hatred or maliciousness toward Rilya on the part of Graham. Jurors ought to focus on what evidence the state did not have, he said.
"Lack of physical evidence. Lack of a body. Lack of any physical discovery of remains. Lack of a motive for killing her," Matters said. "You should use your common sense."
Jurors are likely to begin deliberations Wednesday, after the defense finishes its closing arguments and prosecutors have a chance at rebuttal argument.
Rilya's disappearance went unnoticed by the state Department of Children and Families for about 15 months, largely because a caseworker failed to check on the girl in person. The shocking discovery that she had disappeared led to a shake-up at the agency, including high-level resignations, and passage of reforms including better tracking of foster children.
The state's case rests heavily on the testimony of three jailhouse informants who claim that Graham implicated herself behind bars when she was in jail on a fraud charge.
The star witness, career criminal Robin Lunceford, said Graham told her she smothered Rilya with a pillow in December 2000 and disposed of the body near water.
Lunceford said Graham considered the child evil and referred to the girl as "it." One of the last straws was Rilya's insistence on wearing a Cleopatra mask on Halloween rather than an angel costume, Lunceford testified.
The defense has raised questions about Lunceford's motivation, noting that she got a life prison sentence reduced to 10 years in exchange for her testimony.
Weintraub told jurors that Graham made up a series of stories for friends who noticed Rilya was no longer at her home, including a claim that an unidentified DCF worker had taken the girl for mental tests and never returned her. At other times, she told friends Rilya was on trips to Disney World, New York or New Jersey. She also told people Rilya had severe behavioral problems, including spreading feces around the house, trying to hurt her younger sister and touching men's private parts.
Investigators had no evidence to back up Graham's stories or the claims of Rilya's bad behavior.
"Lies, deceit and cover-up," the prosecutor said. "It's all lies to distract them from the horrible truth of what happened."
Sitting in the courtroom Tuesday was Pamela Kendrick, who was Rilya's foster parent until DCF removed the girl in April 2000 at Graham's insistence. Weintraub said witnesses from those days remember a happy little girl who loved dolls and was doing well in preschool.
Those who knew her during Graham's time painted a far different picture.
"Rilya was ostracized. Rilya was isolated," Weintraub said. "She wasn't smiling. She wasn't laughing. This was a sad little girl."

Artist Statement
In 1993 we were photographing the dogs at my studio on Bond St in NYC. I had them on the floor, lying on white canvas and was photographing them with a polaroid camera and black & white film. I was shooting them from above, molding them into various lines and shapes. One configuration, a circle, looked like the letter "O". A friend suggested we try other letters. So we did. A to Z and then numbers 1 to 10, and then on to punctuation. Moving the dogs across the canvas and placing them in position became a continuous, and occasionally puzzling, preoccupation. The project took about a week to complete. Later that year, we videotaped the dogs performing the letters again, carefully arranging them and then calling them away. By running the video backwards, it appears that the dogs did it all themselves.

Clarkson University's Daqing Hou Receives 2007 IBM Faculty Award
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/hou-ibm-award. jpg ]
Clarkson University Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Daqing Hou has received a 2007 IBM Faculty Award for $24,000, based on his proposal to the IBM 2007 UIMA Innovation Awards program. The Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) Innovation Awards are highly competitive and recognize the quality of a faculty member's program and its importance to IBM.
The awards program is an international competition designed to encourage the development of community and capabilities around the open source- and open standards-based Apache UIMA for academic curricula and research. UIMA is an open-source framework for the development and integration of natural language processing components. Each year, a small number of the renowned awards is presented internationally to researchers in order to promote the development and distribution of the UIMA software framework.
Hou's proposal, "FrameSense: Mining Newsgroup Discussions and Questions for Architectural Information and Answers," is to build and evaluate a text classification tool that assists in incrementally classifying a newsgroup. Newsgroups are extremely useful repositories of hard to find or undocumented knowledge about a software framework. He hopes to leverage the UIMA framework by developing and integrating with it a domain specific text classifier.
Hou hopes that his research will lead to both the creation of new documentation for, and the redesign of, the relevant parts of the software framework. Paying attention to newsgroups may ultimately improve programming productivity and program quality.
The Clarkson University Electrical and Computer Engineering Department is very pleased that Daqing Hou has received this award from IBM, says Thomas H. Ortmeyer, chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. "We value our strong relationship with IBM, and look forward to seeing the results of this collaboration. These collaborations are also very important for our students, and I know that they will benefit from this exposure to the cutting edge of software engineering."
Hou has been a member of the Clarkson faculty since fall 2006. Prior to this appointment, he did his industrial post-doctoral research at Avra Software Lab Inc. in Edmonton, Alberta. He has a Ph.D. in computing science from the University of Alberta, and master of science and bachelor of science degrees in software engineering from Peking University, Beijing.
Clarkson University crosses the boundaries of disciplines, nations and cultures in order for discovery, engineering innovation and enterprise to come together. As a result, faculty and graduates grasp the full impact of their calling, direct their research to the world's pressing issues and lead with confidence and distinction. One in seven alumni is already a CEO or other senior executive. Located in Potsdam, N.Y., just outside the six-million-acre Adirondack Park, Clarkson is home to 3,000 students preparing for rewarding careers through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, science, and health sciences, as well as unparalleled outdoor recreation and life experiences beyond the classroom.

Test Recipes: TrailBlaze Bake-At-Home Energy Bars
Article Digest:
A couple months ago I was contacted by a small company in San Francisco who was bringing a new bake-at-home product to the market.
Matisse & Jack's
is trying to enable busy, but health conscious people with an alternative to the shelf-stable (and pricey) energy bar. Their solution? TrailBlaze Bake-At-Home Oatmeal Energy Bars that are quick and easy to make, are made of organic and non-GMO ingredients, and have the same nutritional properties of a
Clif Bar
. I test bake two batches and have tasters evaluate these new energy bars.
Each box contains a dry mix of whole grain rolled oats, oat bran, soy protein, soy nuts, and evaporated cane juice as the main sweetener. The Cranberry Walnut flavor (pictured throughout this article) has (you guessed it) dried cranberries and walnuts, while the Chocolate Chip flavor has chocolate chips. Each 12 ounce box makes 9 bars (although bars can be cut to different sizes and shapes).
The instructions are clearly laid out on the back of the box. Easy - Just preheat the oven to 350°F, mix the contents of the box with one of the possible wet ingredients listed on the box, spread into a greased pan and bake for about 30 minutes. The box lists three possible wet ingredients (which you must supply out of your pantry). Original is 2/3 cup applesauce and 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt. Vegan is 1 cup + 3 tablespoons of applesauce and 1 tablespoon of water. Finally, Less Sweet is 1 cup + 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of water.
To test the energy bars, I opted for the Original set of wet ingredients. I used Trader Joe's unsweetened applesauce and Trader Joe's French Vanilla Yogurt as recommended by Matisse & Jack's.
I placed all the ingredients in a bowl and turned on my oven to preheat to 350°F.
I then mixed it until the ingredients were uniformly moist.
Instead of using a lightly greased pan, I opted to cut a piece of parchment paper and line my 8x8-in. pan. I used a little butter to keep the parchment paper in place. Using a piece of parchment paper like this lets me easily remove the baked good from the pan for cooling.
I then poured the mixture into the pan and leveled it with a spatula.
All this took about two minutes. So I had to wait for my oven to finish preheating. Once it was preheated (and I had watched some TV), I placed the pan into the oven and let it bake for 30 minutes.
After the thirty minutes were up, I pulled the pan out and removed the energy bars (or giant megabar) from the pan and placed it onto a wire rack to cool. (Upon rereading the instructions, it seems you can just let them cool in the pan.)
Once fully cooled, I cut them into nine squares. Each square, when prepared in this manner, is supposed to have 180 calories, 4.5 g fat (1 g saturated and 450 mg of Omega-3), 130 mg sodium, 22 g carbohydrates (10 g sugar and 3 g dietary fiber), and 9 g protein.
The consistency of the bars was the biggest surprise to me and my tasters. The picture on the box makes the bar look like it's supposed to be dry and possibly crunchy. The bars are actually fairly moist and chewy - much more like a dense cake, nut bread, or other baked good than an energy bar. After baking both batches, I verified with Matisse & Jack's that this was indeed the correct texture and desired outcome. They said it was and they are working to get better cover photographs for their boxes to more accurately represent the product.
Of the tasters, all but one preferred them over the regular store bought energy bars. The one dissenter said it felt too "healthy" and didn't taste or feel like an energy bar. I guess that's good news for Matisse & Jack's because they were going for a new taste and texture - but it could be surprising to the other consumers who also have set expectations of what an energy bar should taste like. The texture was very well received by the other tasters who commented that other energy bars are just "hard" compared to these Oatmeal Energy Bars.
Personally, I felt that the taste was the highlight of the product. The sweetness was just right to make the bars tasty without being overly sweet. The proportions of fruit and walnut pieces (or chocolate chips) were just right to balance the taste and texture of the oats. I didn't think of it as an energy bar - it was a really tasty breakfast bar. They reminded me of the
Quaker Oats Chewy Granola Bars
. So, I went out and tried a couple Quaker Oats bars to see if they really did taste alike. There was no comparison. The Quaker Oats bars were so loaded with sugars and sweeteners (which I believe must be how they keep the bars together), that I almost couldn't stand it. There really wasn't much similarity between the products, and I found myself craving more of Matisse & Jack's TrailBlaze Oatmeal Energy Bars -- which says a lot about the product.
My only problem with it? It's not cheap. At $6 a box in stores (sold at Whole Foods Markets) and $5 if purchased from
, it's a bit more expensive than cereal. But, for a product with organic and non-GMO ingredients, it's quite competitively priced - especially if you consider that each bar costs just about 80 cents (when you factor in the applesauce and yogurt).
If you like to eat protein bars or want a quick nutritious afternoon snack, this is a product worth trying out. The time investment is fairly minimal (about 5 minutes of active time, with 30 minutes of baking and a couple hours of cooling), it is as easy to make as they claim, and it tastes really good.
Matisse & Jack's TrailBlaze Bake-At-Home Oatmeal Energy Bars
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
1 box Trailblaze Oatmeal Energy Bars Mix
bake 350°F (175°C) 30 min.
2/3 cup (160 g) applesauce
1/2 cup (120 g) vanilla yogurt

Nope, but I was given the mixes to try out.
For future reference, If I'm ever paid to promote something, then I mark it as advertising. If I recall, this has happened only once in the main articles when I promoted Iron Chef America and made it clear that I was being paid for the pitch. I also asked for forgiveness in that article. I haven't done it since.
I do get free samples to try out of products and am (in my mind) as fair as I can be when I approach the review. Sometimes, I read about the item and I go buy it, sometimes I ask the vendor for a sample, and sometimes the vendor contacts me. In this case, Matisse & Jack's e-mailed me (and I'm always a sucker for the small startup looking for help from other small startups). They sent me two boxes of the mix and I sat on it for about a month. Then I ran the tests back to back, wrote down all the notes (and kept all the photographs), and sat on it for another month. Then I sat down last night and wrote up my experience based on my notes.
There have been times when I've tested a product and felt it wasn't very good - but, in those cases, I talk to the vendor and they either explain what the products intended purpose is and I reevaluate or we agree that it's best that I not publish the article. Since I've only done a few product reviews so far, I haven't had the problem of deciding whether or not to publish a really crappy review. I'm not out here to hurt others, just provide food info, recipes, and a look at some products others may have not had a chance to try out.

Michael, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the issue. I'm relieved to see that it's something you take seriously, and that you try to do the right thing.
Back on topic, your review of Matisse & Jack's TrailBlaze Bars was serendipitous because I'm a Clif Bar junkie. :-) I order them in bulk, but they're still expensive, and they tend to get stale by the time I'm through a case. I've been looking for a decent at-home substitue, and the TrailBlaze Bars look very promising. I think they would be more economical, and could be prepared in smaller, fresher, quantities, so I've already ordered a box, and plan to give them a try.

Hmmm. I'll have to try these. They would make tasty on-the-run snacks or breakfast.
However, I think I am going to tinker around and see about baking them in a loaf pan and then cutting them across to form "bars". That was an unsuspecting kid might well think they are the sugar-laden junk bars we find in the mega-markets.

Post subject: Sounds Good
1)I thought you did a fine job of being up front that you were given the product to try, and if you continue like you did here or with the Iron Chef post, I for one won't have any problems.
2)I agree that the Alton Brown Bars were my first instinct when I read this. If you ever get a chance to run a side by side of them, I'd be very interested to see that.

Soy nuts aren't common in American kitchens either, but they are available in specialty stores and supermarkets catering to the higher end customer. Basically, they are just soy beans that have been soaked (in water), then cooked in an oven until they are mostly dried out and crunchy.

I've been looking around for recipes for granola bars/protein bars/energy bars other than the ones from Good Eats but have had very little luck on the internet. Does anyone know of any good ones? The Good Eats bars don't seem like they would really fit my taste...
I may end up just messing around with ingredients in the Good Eats recipes, but another recipe to compare to would be great.

Post subject: Alton Brown Granola Bars
I too just recently saw the Alton Brown episode where he makes the granola bars homemade and they looked great. I liked the point he made about the huge decrease in sodium when you make them yourself. The bars you made here look really good, but I think if I'm going to go to the trouble of making them myself, I'm going to go ahead and make them from scratch and not a box.

Lupicia Grab Bags
I'm waiting very impatiently for my $60 bag. It's now in Roseburg, Oregon and should arrive by tomorrow afternoon (or I may EXPLODE!). What did people do before the internet?
I just got mine. Not happy with result at all, feeling like its all crappy tea they threw in. No tins or teawares. Dont think I will be ordering happy bag in the future as it left me unhappy:/
What teas did you get? :-/
Mine is same as CK's list below. I bought happy bag from store some time ago and see alot of repetition here. Maybe they need to get inventories of unpopular teas? Oh wells. My friend bought Happy bag in Japan (fukubukuro) which contains better stuff :/
Which of CK's list did you get since CK listed three. Really sorry you are not happy with yours. I had been feeling by looking at what people are getting that Lupicia is in fact giving really good teas. I have noticed however not many tea wares included. On one hand I would far more rather have more tea than a tea ball I would not use but on the other hand it would be really cool to get some kind of travel cup, or something more unique than a tea ball.
Otherwise I am impressed with the teas people are listing.
I got CK's mom's package. For lupicia, quality of tea is somewhat guaranteed. My term of "crappy" meant among teas lupicia carry, they threw some really non-popular ones. As I mentioned in previous comment I bought lupicia's happy bag from store months ago for grand opening and I do see a lot of repetition. At manufacturer's point of view, I guess it is a good event for them to clear out inventory thus creating win-win situation for everyone (especially for those who have not tried lupicia tea or have it in stock) It just wasn't for me. Fukubukuro in Japan contained handy cooler so I expected same for usa but I guess they don't really care.
Yeah I agree you can't go TOO wrong with Lupicia quality but I see your point about wanting some of their more popular blends. You got a cooler? That sounds nice! Did you at least get the canvas bag from this Happy Bag? I thought I had seen where in the past all the teas came in nice canvas bags but I am not seeing anyone mention them here.
I did not get handy cooler – I don't think happy bag in lupicia usa offer handy cooler this year. My friend who ordered fukubukuro (happy bag) in lupicia Japan got it though. I don't think lupicia usa happy bag offer canvas bag this year either. (haven't seen it.)
Well that's kind of a downer. I was excited to go shopping and put my items in my Lupicia canvas bag. Oh well.
Boo! I am experiencing similar disappointment with not getting the special edition tin of Momoko which seems to be the standard regardless of bag value. I have sent inquiry to customer service to see if the oversight is something that can be rectified. I know this may sound greedy but with such diligent inventory of contents revealing a surprising lack of variety, I want what everyone else received.
Update: response from LUPICIAUSA two days after email confirms everyone gets a tin of Momoko and I will get this soon.
Got my order in today, shipping was faster than expected :) bought my mom and dad each their own $60 bag and a $100 bag to share with my sister. I thought the bigger bags would have tea ware things but not such luck for me but still got plenty of tea I like. It looks like most bags have similar teas in them.

I have almost duplicate of $100 bag excepting for a double of sencha 'Chiran' instead of CK's pineapple oolong and no tin of any kind. If my bag offered a different tea, I can understand their choosing to substitute with another tea bag with or without a tin, but not only do I not have the tin, my bag has less one tea type. I am glad Lupicia tea gets such enthusiast reviews but I feel the lack of corporate excitement for fukubukuro in the U.S. is a cultural thing.
Got my $60 Happy Bag today, lots of neat-looking stuff in here. 12x 50g packs, 1x tin, and 2x 10-pack bags. I'm a tea noob, so this seems like a whole world of tea to me. I feel like I got a good deal (and more tea than I can drink in 6 months). Pic here: https://twitter.com/beckymew/status/287473092278763520/photo/1

The peach melba is a rooibos so I'm giving it to a friend who likes that stuff (pleh). Especially excited about the assam and black teas. The tin of Momoko is very pretty, but I have so-so luck with green teas so we'll see how that goes.
You just made my day. So excited to get the 60$ bags that kittenna and I split. Should be fantastic!
Sil – I have yet to see the contents of a bag that I would be unhappy to get! I am SO EXCITED!!!! Hoping for a tin of Momoko as everyone seems to be getting, and Momo Oolong Super Grade teabags…. Strawberry Vanilla sounds great… oh man oh man!
I have to second that all the bags look great! I'd be happy with any of them, tracking says mine won't get home until the 9th and the wait is killing me.
Alphakitty – ours is also scheduled for arrival on the 9th (with momo). Super anxious! Hahaha.
Did anyone order the $30 bags online and get "Strawberry Vanilla"? That's the tea I really want.
I ordered the $30 one. I haven't gotten it yet but when it does I'll let you know what I got :-)
Ugh, I got a shipping notification for mine on the 2nd, but it still isn't in transit according to UPS! This happen to anyone else? I want my tea!
My $30 bag is one state away as of this afternoon. Soon… :D
My 60 dollar bag comes tomorrow! WOOT!

Bahrain jails 29 for trying to reach uprising hub
MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — A defense lawyer in Bahrain says 29 protesters have been sentenced to one month in prison for trying to enter a heavily guarded area that was once the center of the Gulf nation's anti-government uprising.
The court decision comes as some opposition groups, inspired by Egyptian crowds that helped topple President Mohammed Morsi, are calling for stepped-up protests.
Lawyer Mohamed al-Wasti said Friday the group was convicted of trying to bypass security cordons last year to reach Pearl Square, the hub of protests in early 2011.
Al-Wasti said the protesters plan to appeal Thursday's court ruling.
Bahrain has faced nearly 29 months of unrest as Shiite-led protesters seek a greater political voice in the strategic Sunni-ruled kingdom, which is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.

HIGHLAND, Ill. – After an impressive 10-4 victory over Fontbonne on Friday, Greenville Baseball saw their 2011 season draw to a close on Saturday night at the hands of Webster University. The Panthers failed to capitalize on a three-run lead, and dropped the final game of the double-elimination SLIAC Tournament 9-3 in harsh weather conditions at Glick Park.
Greenville College Baseball finished the 2011 season 18-22 (16-8 SLIAC), and earned second place in the SLIAC.
In Friday's matchup with Fontbonne the Black & Orange dominated early, notching nine runs through four innings on their way to the 10-4 shelling. Freshman lefty Tyler Mitchell was solid from the rubber in the game, surrendering only three earned on five hits to pick up the win.
Kyle Hobar and David Massengill headlined the club's efforts at the plate. Hobar batted 2-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBI, while fellow senior Massengill posted three runs and two RBI while batting 3-for-5.
In the SLIAC Championship Greenville drew first blood, claiming the 1-0 lead in the first inning behind Coverts clutch RBI double. The senior was GC's key offensive contributor in the game, batting 2-for-4 with the RBI.
Despite the early score Saturday's championship contest proved to be a pitchers duel through six innings, with Greenville's Covert looking sharp on the mound. Covert dealt six innings of four-hit shutout baseball before Webster exploded in the seventh with five runs on four hits to take the 5-3 lead.
Covert finished with six and two-thirds innings of work with five earned on seven hits before being replaced by Scotty Voyles.
After facing three batters in the eighth, Voyles was relieved by Massengill who looked to work GC out of the late-inning jam. However the damage was already done and Webster notched four runs and mounted a 9-3 lead produced by a stunning three-RBI double.
Greenville failed to score in the ninth and fell 9-3 in the season finale.
"After a really difficult beginning to our season, the guys displayed their character by rebounding to play an outstanding conference season," remarked head coach Lynn Carlson. "They finished the year playing their best baseball in the SLIAC Tournament and not many people thought they were capable of the success they achieved," he added. "They enjoyed being together and persevered through their struggles. I am very proud of these young men."

2nd Annual ECWA Women's Super 8 ChickFight Tournament results
ECWA proudly presented the Super 8 ChickFight Tournament on Saturday October 17, 2015. It was a night of new champions, debuts, and a fantastic display of professional wrestling by all involved. Here's a brief recap & results review for those that may have missed the event:
Super 8 Quarter Finals
Brittany Blake defeated Terra Calaway via small package: The much stronger and bigger Calaway dominated this match from beginning to end. Even with an impressive display of power, Blake's resourcefulness proved true as she rolled up Calaway for the pinfall out of nowhere.
Deonna Purrazzo defeated Miranda Vionette via submission- What started as a game of the two opponents one upping each other turned into an impressive display of chain and mat wrestling. Vionette, a relative rookie, made too many mistakes. Purrazzo capitalized and scored a submission victory.
Kennadi Brink defeated Savannah Evans via pinfall- Evans was a last minute replacement but certainly didn't wrestle like one. Her size and strength put Brink on notice early on. But with Brink's new look came new moves as she put on an impressive display of speed attacks for someone more known for her power. In the end, Brink's experience was too much and she scored a victory.
Tessa Blanchard defeated Daysia Gilbert via slingshot suplex- Gilbert was also a last minute replacement but impressed going toe for toe with last year's champ. However, Tessa's vastly grown in the last year and with growth comes strength as the girl with a famous last name would not be denied a victory with her trademark sling shot suplex.
PCA (Ricky Martinez & Damian Adams) w/ AJ Pan defeated the Extreme Rednecks (Chuck & Kyle Payne) w/ The Don to become the NEW ECWA Tag Team Champions- The Rednecks came in on a huge roll as of late. But the PCA is not known for playing fair… Chuck and Kyle took turns mostly dominating the challengers and keeping AJ Pan out of the equation. But in the end, a distraction caused by Meisure Ooh La La's assault of the Don and the Rednecks inability to communicate proved too much as Ricky Martinez downed Chuck for a 1..2..3.
Bobby Shields retains the ECWA Mid Atlantic Championship via DQ- Shields came to the ring and issued an open challenge to anyone in the locker room. Enter Ricky Martinez. A great back and forth match ensued. Martinez would seemingly close in on a victory but the resilient champion would rally. Just as it looked like Shields was closing in on a victory, Martinez would deliver a low blow ending the match in a DQ. Afterwards, the PCA would beat down Shields repeatedly.
Super 8 Semi Finals
Deonna Purrazzo defeats Brittany Blake via submission- The feisty Blake came out on all cylinders attacking Purrazzo. Flying around the ring with a beautiful mixture of aerial and ground attacks it looked like curtains for the Italian beauty. But Purrazzo's MO lately seems to be weather the storm and brutality attack her opponent. Weakening Blake slowly but steadily the strategy worked once again as Purrazzo forced Blake to submit.
Tessa Blanchard defeats Kennadi Brink via submission- This one promised to be a slugfest and it was from start to finish. Tessa trying to steadily weaken the much stronger Brink. And Brink trying to deliver deciding brutal blows. Back and forth they went trading impressive moves. But as such is the case in most Super 8 matches one miscue by Brink and Blanchard immediately went for the kill forcing her to tap out with an arm bar submission.
Sean Carr defeats Matt Saigon to become the NEW ECWA Heavyweight Champion- In what could very well be the craziest Heavyweight title match in ECWA history, this was one to remember. Carr, the cocky loudmouth, proved yet again he's an amazing wrestler with a great display of ground and pound on the now former champion. Saigon's power was neutralized for most of the contest but tried to steal one at the end… unfortunately an unconscious ref, Carr using the belt to hit Saigon, a new ref, and then a controversial ending as Carr pinned Saigon to win the championship despite seemingly having his foot on the bottom rope as the referee counted 3 made for one crazy ending as Carr wins the championship.
Deonna Purrazzo defeats Tessa Blanchard via submission to become the NEW ECWA Woman's Champion and the 2015 Super 8 ChickFight Champion- In what many call a women's match for the ages with two wills to win… only one could walk away champion. Purrazzo and Blanchard put on a dazzling display of wrestling in, above, and out of the ring much to the crowd's delight. Blanchard's anger made her never give up, asking to be hit and then delivering devastating blows herself. Purrazzo showing her chain/mat wrestling skills are unmatched always there to answer the defending champions rally. In the end, Blanchard threw everything she had at Purrazzo with submissions and her trademark slingshot suplex. But Purrazzo's amazing toughness was far too much… Purrazzo pounced locking in her wrenching arm bar submission. Battling for minutes, Blanchard eventually had to tap out.

Dear Chloe,
Not long ago you asked me if I love work more than I love you and your brother.
The question breaks my heart, and as you are almost 8, I'm pretty sure it was designed to. Don't worry; I don't hold it against you. Daughters are meant to know and agitate their mother's vulnerable spots—it's part of the special intimacy we share. I did the same thing to my mom, giving her the business for going back to work part-time when I was even older than you, after she'd spent years at home raising me, my brother and sister. I'll be sure bring our conversation up over and over again when you're an adult and facing the same kinds of comments from your own daughter, like my mom does to me. (P.S. Mom, really sorry—again!)
You've never really known a time when I stayed home. I went back to work when you were three months old, and save for eights months I was at home when your brother was born, it's always been that way for you. Although it felt surreal to walk out the door and leave you behind the day my maternity leave ended, and I couldn't quite believe I was doing it until I was, it was also a relief to relax into some normalcy after the wondrous upheaval you brought to my life.
Some people work to earn a living, and some people are lucky to get paid to do what they love. I am lucky to be one of the latter. I knew what I wanted to do the day my 8th grade teacher read my story to the class and told me I was a writer. I still get flushed cheeks and fluttery insides when I've managed to wrestle the words to outline the shape of my thoughts. I think I recognize the same blissed-out look on your face when you're painting, but maybe there's an even bigger passion in you waiting to be discovered.
Plus: Having it All: What That Means to These Moms
What if I told you it was your art…or me? Sure, you'd choose me (I hope) if you had to, but wouldn't that feel like an unfair choice to make? Right now you say you don't want kids thanks to the most annoying brother in the whole wide world. Maybe you'll change your mind. And if you do, I hope your love of creating doesn't get sacrificed for the people you love, whether you make money from it or not. I hope you choose a partner that wants that for you too.
But back to your original question. There are many reasons mommies work—and they might not be what you think they are. These are mine.
I work because I love it.
I work because scratching the itch to create makes me happy, and that happiness bleeds over into every other area, including how patient and engaged and creative a mother I am.
I work because this nice house and those gymnastics lessons and those sneakers you need to have are all made possible by two incomes.
I work because I want you and your brother to be proud of me.
I work because I did this before you were born, and I'll still want it to be there after you go off to college.
I work because—despite my being the parent who's almost always the one walking through the door at 6pm, the one who rarely travels for work, the one who's keeping track of the fact that the permission slip for the field trip is due tomorrow—you'd never ask your father why he works. His love is a given that long hours at work do nothing to diminish.
I work because even at your young age you've absorbed the subtle message that women's work is less important and valuable—and that the moms who really love their kids don't do it.
I work because by the time you have your own daughter, I cross my fingers this will not be so.
So, to answer your question: I do love work, but of course I love you and your brother much, much more. If I had to choose, I would choose you guys.
But I'm so happy I don't have to. And I hope you never do either.

GREENWICH, Conn. - A husband-and-wife chef duo who moved their "slow food" catering business, Maison Privé, to Greenwich from Manhattan last year now plan to open a private supper club and tasting room for clients.
Jim and Jen Vellano's fundraising campaign on Kickstarter recently achieved full funding, which should allow the couple to finish renovating a former butcher shop on Hamilton Avenue to become The Tasting Room at Maison Privé. In the monthlong campaign, they raised nearly $15,000 from 70 backers.
"Our vendors are all in place, the sign is ready to go and the front door has been ordered," they wrote on their Kickstarter page after reaching their goal. They're hoping to open for business in May.
The Vellanos are proponents of the slow food movement, sourcing in-season ingredients locally. They both have top credentials, having worked in some of Manhattan's best restaurants - Per Se, Daniel, Cafe Boulud, Blue Hill and others. They met on the job, got married and have been running Maison Privé since 2008.
You can read their story on Kickstarter and see their menus on their Maison Prive website .

WASHINGTON (AP) — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says a victory by a candidate he supported in a House primary in Illinois is a sign of things to come for gun-control legislation.
Bloomberg's PAC, Independence USA, poured more than $2 million into ads supporting Illinois state Rep. Robin Kelly, who won a special primary on Tuesday. Those funds have been credited with helping Kelly defeat former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson, who opposes an assault weapons ban
Bloomberg says Kelly's win reflected the public speaking out against those who stand in the way of tougher gun restrictions.
Bloomberg spoke after meeting with Vice President Joe Biden and senators from both parties to discuss efforts to curb gun violence.

My advice would be to go for the mid size if you can. I dont know what will give you the best shot in OCI, but I have friends that did in house jobs there first summer, and the places didnt do offers. So, if 3L OCI falls through, you are going to want to have something to fall back on, and the mid size firm is going to be more likely to wanna keep you around.Firms are still giving out interviews and stuff, so dont give up yet on big law this year.
I still have a little time to decide, but I'm leaning towards the in-house option. (It's actually Fortune 100--not that it makes big difference.) The main thing is that I'm really not interested in the small-medium firm, and I can just as easily get the same type of offer again next year from similar place. I know that the GC does not hire straight from law school (thank you all for assuming I know nothing...). What I am really most concerned with is what looks best on my resume for 3L OCI, i.e. the prestige of Fortune 100 versus the practical experience of a law firm. Also, thanks to those who suggested big law in small markets, but I am unfortunately tied to the city where I live now.

NHTSA — Tires Problems

The 2004 Ion was part of GM's massive ignition switch recall where it was revealed they waited 10 years – and let 13 people die – before doing anything about it. It also features GM's now infamous VTi continuously variable transmission. Let me tell you, the only thing the VTi did continuously was fail on its owners. GM scrapped it after only two model years.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shailene Woodley is known for her hugs. The 22-year-old "Divergent" star gives hearty embraces — often more than one —to everyone she meets.
"It's very disarming" said co-star Theo James in a recent interview. "She (first) hugged me at our test. Yeah, she's a big hugger."
It's not just her co-stars who feel the love. Woodley also hugs nearly every journalist she meets during interviews or on a red carpet.
Woodley and James star in the anticipated first film adaptation of the young adult trilogy by author Veronica Roth. "Divergent" follows 16-year-old Tris (Woodley) as she finds her place in a future dystopian society where people are separated into groups based on their virtues.
Ashley Judd and Tony Goldwyn play Tris' parents in the film out March 21.
Judd said she and Woodley have their own special, two-sided squeeze so they "both get heart."
"It was about 6 o'clock in the morning on my first day of work," recalled Goldwyn of his first Woodley hug. "We were driving over together and she leapt out and gave me a long hug. I was like 'wow.'"
Unfortunately for "Divergent" actor Ansel Elgort, his first encounter did not go as well.
"My first Shailene hug was when I met her for the audition and I was taken by surprise," Elgort said. "I thought maybe she knew me or something or I don't know and I didn't really hug her back really. I was like 'oh hey' and gave her a couple pats and said 'it was nice to meet you.' And to this day she tells me that she wasn't sure she's going to like me or not because I didn't hug her back. She thought I might not be a real grounded person."
Was Elgort able to make amends?
"Yeah, now when I see her I make sure every time to give her a very long truthful hug," he said.

For the most part, The Fletcher School website follows punctuation, capitalization and usage guidelines outlined in the Associated Press Stylebook Online, which is available to the entire Fletcher community through the Ginn Library (password required).
Fletcher-specific style guidelines are included in the A-Z guide below.
Capitalize and spell out formal titles such as professor or dean when they immediately precede a name. Lowercase elsewhere:
Professor of International Law John Smith
John Smith, professor of international law
the professor
Associate Dean Jane Smith
Jane Smith, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences
Exception: Named and Endowed chairs and professorships are always capitalized.
Alan K. Henrikson, the Lee E. Dirks Professor of Diplomatic History
Abbreviations, Salutations: In a salutation, abbreviations are permitted only when followed by first and last name together. Spell out salutations when followed by the last name only:
Prof. John Smith
Professor Smith
Always identify faculty members by their academic rank and department in published materials. If a faculty member holds many titles, use the one most relevant to the content the name is being used in.
If spelling out the degree use all lowercase letters: bachelor of arts, doctor of philosophy. Do not follow the name of the degree with the word degree. Use an apostrophe in the short term: bachelor's degree, master's.
For professional degrees, DO NOT use periods for the purposes on The Fletcher School website.
BA, MIB, PhD, MALD, LLM
Do not include a courtesy title for an academic degree followed by the abbreviation in the same reference:
WRONG: Dr. Paul Parry, MD, is chair of the department
The title of "doctor" is only used in reference to those with MDs, and then only on first reference. People with PhDs are not referred to as Dr.
Capitalize only when using the full, formal name of a department. Lowercase other forms:
Use a hyphen when writing out an academic year instead of slashes or other marks. Spell out the entire year:
WRONG: Parking passes from the public safety office are now available for the 2012-13 academic year
CORRECT: Parking passes from the public safety office are now available for the 2012-2013 academic year
Use the abbreviations Ave., Blvd., and St. only with a numbered address: 136 Harrison Ave. Spell out and capitalize when part of a formal street name without a number: Harrison Avenue. Lowercase and spell out when used alone or with more than one street name: Washington and Harrison avenues. All similar words (alley, drive, road, circle, terrace, etc.) are always spelled out.

David Beckham joins Paris St. Germain
David Beckham pledged to donate his salary to a children's charity Thursday after signing a five-month contract with French Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris-Saint Germain, the latest stop on his globe-trotting career.
The 37-year-old former England captain joined PSG after turning down several other offers and pledging to effectively play for free. He was presented Thursday at the French club's Parc des Princes stadium after passing his physical.
No financial details were given as to how much Beckham's salary would be or the name of the charity. Beckham said the decision was taken early Thursday morning.
"It's something I'm excited about and now it has finally happened," Beckham said during the news conference Thursday. "I am very lucky because I got more offers than I have probably had in my career, at my age. I chose Paris because I can see what the club are trying to do. Now there is a club that is going to have a lot of success over the next 10, 15, 20 years. To be part of something with this growth is exciting to me."
Of his five-month contract, Beckham said he wants to help the club "grow" regardless of the length of his stay.
"I don't expect to come into this team and play in every single game. I don't expect to start. I have to work for that," he said. "It is a bonus they are in the Champions League. I've been lucky to win it in the past and I know how important it is for clubs."
Beckham said he was not sure when he would make his debut with the club.
"I don't' know. This literally all happened at 1 a.m. this morning and it was only finalized at 11 a.m. this morning," he said. "I've been training at Arsenal so it won't take me long to get up to speed. I definitely won't be ready next Friday but in a few weeks. No matter what my age, I still feel 21 most days."
The Qatari-owned Ligue 1 club has been the highest-spending club in Europe in the past year. Beckham said he will donate a "huge sum" of his salary to a children's charity in Paris.
On his Facebook page, Beckham posted a photo of himself with the comment: "On way to Paris, excited. I will update you all later."
The 37-year-old former Manchester United star had been considering offers from clubs around the world after leaving the Los Angeles Galaxy in December to end a six-year stint in Major League Soccer.
PSG is in the Champions League knockout stage, which gives Beckham the prospect of winning a league title in a fourth country. The club faces Valencia on Feb. 12 and March 6.
Beckham joins a roster of international stars accumulated by PSG over the past two years, since the Qatari investment company bought a majority share in the club in May 2011.
The team includes Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic (who leads Ligue 1 with 19 goals), Brazil's Thiago Silva and Lucas, and Argentina's Ezequiel Lavezzi. Those four were bought last summer for a total of $140 million.
PSG currently leads French Ligue 1, in search of the club's first league title in 19 years.
David Beckham skyrocketed to fame at Manchester United, where he debuted in 1992 at age 17. He won six Premier League titles, two FA Cup trophies and the 1999 Champions League as part of United's famed treble-winning side.
In the summer of 2003, he transferred to Real Madrid for $41 million. After falling out of favor and failing to win a league title in his first three seasons, Beckham finished well, playing his way back into the starting lineup as Madrid won La Liga in 2007, clinching the title in Beckham's final match.
In January of 2007, Beckham announced he was heading to Los Angeles. After signing a contract with a total value of $250 million, he and the Galaxy failed to make the playoffs his first two seasons. But they reached the MLS Cup in three of his last four years, winning titles by beating Houston in 2011 and 2012.
Forbes said Beckham earned $46 million from salary ($4 million with the LA Galaxy) and endorsements in 2012, ranking him 35th on the Forbes Celebrity 100 List as the world's highest-earning soccer player.

Some Interesting News...
"Everyday Cheapskate" is a frugality column by Mary Hunt that is carried by our newspaper and I also receive it by e-mail. In today's edition, she writes about working all weekend to clear out a lot of unwanted and unused possessions from her house and garage.
I've renewed my determination to ask myself these questions before I bring anything of significance into this house:
Can I afford it?
Do I really need it?
Do I need it now?
Do I have something like it already?
Can I find a cheaper substitute?
Is this the best deal?
Then I'm going to go home and sleep on it for 24 hours.
The phrase she uses, "I've renewed my determination..." suggests how easy it is for even a preacher to fall into sin.
Mary Hunt's website, "Debt-Proof Living", has practical advice for living frugally, including 97 pages of helpful hints from readers. You can read her column online at twincities.com..
The topic of frugality reminds me of the Aymara lady who used to come to our house in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, to wash our clothes and sweep the floor. She saved every tiny scrap of cloth that I discarded while sewing. I don't know what she could possibly have sewed with those little snips of cloth, but probably she used them for some other purpose.
We are blessed with so much in the United States; we are rich beyond belief, and we don't even appreciate it. Can you imagine? We even print articles in the newspaper that urge us not to buy a lot of things we don't need.

VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced today the acquisition of Danish goalkeeper David Ousted – pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate and Visa. Per club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed. Ousted will be introduced to the Vancouver media on Friday and will be eligible to play in Major League Soccer on July 9 when the international transfer window opens.
Whitecaps FC goalkeeper David Ousted
- Played 10 seasons in Denmark, including four seasons in top flight Superliga
- Earned 35 clean sheets in 103 matches for Randers FC over three seasons
- Helped Randers FC finish third in the 2012-13 Danish Superliga to qualify for the UEFA Europe League
- Made six appearances for Randers FC in the 2010-11 UEFA Europa League
"David is a solid goalkeeper with a commanding presence at the back," said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. "He's been an outstanding performer in Denmark over the past couple of seasons and I'm delighted to welcome him to the club."
A native of Greve, Denmark, Ousted joins Whitecaps FC following a successful 2012-13 season with Randers FC, backstopping his club to a third-place finish in the Danish Superliga, which earned them qualification to next year's UEFA Europa League. The 6-foot-4 stopper made 39 total appearances in 2012-13, earning 14 clean sheets. Six of those appearances came in Randers' run to the Danish Cup final, where they lost 1-0 to Esbjerg fB.
The rangy goalkeeper first joined Randers in 2010, when he made his debut in the UEFA Europa League in a 6-1 win against F91 Dudelange. Ousted went on to make 85 league appearances for the Horses and 103 appearances overall, with 35 clean sheets during his three seasons. During that time, Ousted led his side to promotion from the Danish 1st Division after finishing second in 2011-12 and then followed that success with last season's third place finish in the top flight Danish Superliga.
The 28-year-old goalkeeper started his career with Danish giants Brondby IF in 2003 and remained there until 2006, with brief loan spells at lower division sides Nykøbing Falster Alliancen and Akademisk Boldklub. Following a short stint at Danish First Division side Hellerup IK in the 2006-07 season, Ousted joined SønderjyskE in 2007 and helped them earn promotion to the top flight in his first season with SE. Ousted made 62 appearances for the Haderslev based club.
Internationally, Ousted made one appearance with Denmark's U-19 national team and was also called into camp with his country's U-20 and U-21 national squads.

Vietnam, China make no progress in oil rig talks
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — A top Chinese diplomat and Vietnamese officials made no progress in talks Wednesday about an increasingly bitter confrontation over a giant oil rig China deployed in the disputed South China Sea, officials said.
State Councilor Yang Jiechi is the most senior Chinese diplomat to visit Vietnam since China placed the rig off the Vietnamese coast last month. Both countries have accused the other of violating their territorial rights and instigating clashes between ships around the rig.
A Vietnamese official familiar with the talks said no progress was made during the discussion between Yang and Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
He said the two sides still insisted on their opposing positions.
China's Foreign Ministry said Yang blamed Vietnam for interfering with the rig's operations and causing the present difficulties in their relations.
Yang said Vietnam should stop the disruptions and take measures to secure Chinese property and people in Vietnam, according to an account of his remarks released by ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying.
The rig's deployment in early May triggered anti-China demonstrations and some turned to riots, which resulted in the deaths of five Chinese nationals and injuries to hundreds more. Hundreds of factories were damaged and dozens were burned. Many of them were built with Taiwanese investment.
Yang also met with Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and Communist Party chief Nguyen Phu Trong.
Dung told Yang that China's placement of the oil rig in Vietnamese-claimed waters was a "grave violation of Vietnamese sovereignty, .... threatening peace, security, maritime and aviation safety in the region," Vietnam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. It said he demanded that China withdraw the rig and the vessels escorting it and resolve disputes by peaceful means in accordance with international law.
The two ideological allies fought a brief border war in 1979, and skirmishes also occurred in 1988 when China used force to occupy Johnson South reef in the Spratlys. Relations were normalized in 1991.
China claims most of the South China Sea, rich in natural resources and one of the world's busiest sea lanes, bringing it into disputes with neighbors, including the Philippines, a U.S. ally.

Two Clarkson Professors Honored With Emeritus Status At Commencement
Two retiring Clarkson University professors were honored at the school's 112th commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 8.
M. Lawrence Glasser, professor of both Physics and Mathematics and Computer Science, and Samuel B. Feitelberg, professor of Physical Therapy and founding associate dean of Health Sciences and former chair of the Department of Physical Therapy, were each named professor emeritus in honor of and in appreciation for their years and level of service to the University.
M. Lawrence Glasser was a member of the Clarkson faculty for nearly three decades. He joined the Mathematics and Computer Science Department as professor in 1977, and the Department of Physics in 1983, where he recently served as chair.
Glasser has diverse research interests. His research in solid state physics focuses on quantum physics of semiconductor nanostructures and high-temperature superconductors. In statistical mechanics, Glasser's interests rest in exact solutions of models for phase transitions, while in more mathematical fields he studies supersymmetry in quantum mechanics, lattice sums, and the asymptotic properties of special functions. His work in this broad intersection of math, chemistry and physics has been frequently cited internationally. In 1978 Glasser was honored by Clarkson with the John W. Graham Jr. Faculty Research Award.
Glasser worked closely with other Clarkson faculty in the development of the Clarkson Center for Quantum Device Technology. The Center, which is housed in Clarkson's Center for Advanced Materials Processing, was established in 2001 through a $1.6 million grant received from the National Science Foundation. The Center brings physicists and engineers together as they use quantum physics technology to build smaller, faster computers and other devices. The cutting-edge research conducted by Glasser and others at the Center puts Clarkson on the national stage of quantum technology.
Glasser had authored or co-authored over 250 publications in top research journals, such as the Journal of Physics, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, European Journal of Physics, Physics Review, and the Journal of Science and Engineering. He also presented his research as an invited lecturer at dozens of universities, institutes and conferences during his career.
Glasser received his doctoral degree in Theoretical Solid State Physics from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1962. He worked as senior physicist for Battelle Memorial Institute from 1963-64, then joined the department of physics at the University of Wisconsin as assistant professor for one year. He returned to Battelle as an Institute Fellow from1965-74, then spent three years as professor of mathematics at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, before joining Clarkson in 1977.
Samuel B. Feitelberg
In nine years of service at Clarkson, Samuel B. Feitelberg significantly contributed to Clarkson's program offerings through the establishment and accreditation of Clarkson's Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) program. Feitelberg's accomplishments in the Department of Physical Therapy and the Center for Health Sciences connects Clarkson's name with one of the nation's most dynamic health fields.
Feitelberg joined Clarkson in 1996 as its first dean of Health Sciences to bring to fruition the University's vision of establishing a premier MPT program with state-of-the-art facilities. Having previously founded and headed up PT programs at Downstate Medical Center at SUNY, Brooklyn and at the University of Vermont, Feitelberg was aptly suited for this task.
Much of the success of the Physical Therapy program at Clarkson can be attributed to Feitelberg's ability to attract first-rate faculty and develop innovative programming. The MPT program uses a Problem-Based Learning approach, introduced by Feitelberg, which prepares graduates to successfully enter a rapidly changing health care profession. Feitelberg also helped affiliate the program with nearly 175 health care facilities around the country to provide students with clinical experience and internships.
Under Feitelberg's guidance, five Clarkson MPT graduate students volunteered to educate athletes at the 2003 Special Olympics. To fund their trip, the students worked with Feitelberg to develop an interactive health care program, "Brittany's Knee Injury: A Health Team Approach," which was supported by grants from the Northern Area Health Education Center that provided high school students interested in health care professions with authentic medical problem-solving experience. The five Clarkson MPT graduates received letters of commendation from U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for their achievements.
Feitelberg received his Certificate in Physical Therapy (1953) and a Master of Arts (1954) from Columbia University. He holds a Certificate in Health Administration (1980) from Harvard University Graduate School of Medicine. In 1953 he took a position as staff physical therapist at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. In 1959 he was appointed chief physical therapist.
Throughout his nearly five-decade career, Feitelberg has been recognized with numerous awards and honors, including the American Physical Therapy Association's (APTA) Lucy Blair Service Award (1983), the APTA'a Diversity 2000 Award (1996) and the title of Professor Emeritus from the University of Vermont (1996). He was named an APTA Catherine Worthingham Fellow (1997) and was awarded the prestigious Polly Ceralosi Lectureship (2004).

After more than a week of relative inaction, House Republicans have readied a proposal to temporarily extend the imminent debt ceiling, which they will bring to the table later today during a meeting at the White House with President Obama.
House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said he would support a six-week extension of the debt limit to remove the issue from the table while Republicans and Democrats try to resolve the government shutdown.
Though the White House has repeatedly stated its preference for legislation that both reopens the government and raises the debt limit, Press Secretary Jay Carney said that the proposal was at least a step forward.
"The president is happy that cooler heads at least seem to be prevailing in the House, that there at least seems to be a recognition that default is not an option," he told reporters.
But whether conservative Republicans, who have proved to be highly influential in the House, will also throw their support behind Boehner's plan is unknown. Boehner made no mention of Obamacare in his remarks this morning, and the right wing of the party has already come down hard on Rep. Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) for his Obamacare-less overture to Democrats.

I just got a copy of your lastest book, The Digital Negative (Kindle version, easier to get it in Spain), and I was reading the second chapter when I came a across a reference: "The Digital Print [Peachpit]", does this mean that we can expect a new book from you soon?
The Amazon page lists Sept 24, 2012...as far as I know, that's still the expected ship date.
Yep, The Digital Print is the next book in the series due April 2013 or so.
The Digital Negative (Kindle version, easier to get it in Spain)
Maybe a direct download from Peachpit would have been provided a better quality product, because they have separate formats for a number of devices.
However, a lot of the thinking is new and of course, there's PV 2012 which wasn't around when we shot C2PS.
I'll have a dead tree copy in my hands in two or three days....
What about putting "target outlines" in various places on the image to highlight where the various types of sharpening or whatever are best illustrated. This would spoil the images should some crass person want to hijack them, and also, help those of us that want to try it ourselves with an easy to reference place in the image.

STOCKTON - Jacob Rosales was prepared to step in as Bear Creek High's ace this spring, after a junior season that included five victories and nearly a strikeout an inning.
STOCKTON - Jacob Rosales was prepared to step in as Bear Creek High's ace this spring, after a junior season that included five victories and nearly a strikeout an inning.
Then he twisted his ankle in a pick-up basketball game, and simply throwing a strike became a challenge.
"I felt pretty stupid, going out there and getting hurt playing basketball," Rosales said. "I'm just now starting to feel better."
A healthy Rosales threw six strong innings of relief Wednesday, helping the Bruins rally from a six-run deficit to stun Lincoln 11-7 in a battle of San Joaquin Athletic Association contenders.
"That's a change for Bear Creek, being called a contender," said Rosales, who allowed a run and six hits over the final six innings. "In the past, people called Bear Creek a 'spoiler,' never a 'contender.' "
The win puts Bear Creek (12-5, 5-3 SJAA) in the thick of a four-team league race, with Tracy (11-5, 6-2), Lodi (10-9, 6-2) and Lincoln (9-7, 5-2).
"Our coach likes to remind us that it's been 14 years since Bear Creek made the playoffs," said Rosales, 1-2 with a 7.95 ERA before Wednesday's outing. "By now, everyone knows the number is 14."
The important number on Wednesday was six, the number of runs Lincoln scored off starter Justin Kottinger. Joe Montes' two-run homer in the second made it 6-1 and ended Kottinger's day. That's when Rosales entered.
Rosales gave up a quick run, but he shut out Lincoln over the final five innings. The Bruins backed his play with 11 runs and 14 hits, led by Marcos Jimenez (2 for 4, 3 RBI) and Kottinger (3 for 4, 2 RBI).
Bear Creek tied it 7-7 after three innings, then Kottinger's RBI single put the Bruins up 9-7 in the fourth, and two more in the sixth provided a cushion.
Rosales ended the game with a dazzling piece of deception. With two runners on, he baited the runner at first to take a lead - then pivoted and threw to the base, where Kottinger slapped on the tag.
"When I went out in the second, down by five, I didn't feel any pressure," Rosales said. "Once we got back in the dugout, we were excited because there was a lot of game left to play. I could feel myself finding my rhythm in the third inning."
The Bruins scored four runs in the second, two in the third and two more in the fourth. Lincoln's staff never did find an answer to the Bruins' bats, allowing season-highs of 11 runs and 15 hits.
"It's not just one swinging a hot bat, it's a bunch of guys who are swinging well," Rosales said. "It's difficult to beat a strong lineup."
