[To the letter from Mrs. Weiss to Professor Harrison, published some time ago, giving her memories of Edgar Allan Poe, she added a longer postscript suggested by reading Professor Harrison's biography. We give it herewith. — EDITOR.]
HAVE you an account of Poe's two public recitations in Richmond of "The Raven" and the "Poetic Principle?"
(I may here mention what was known to all Poe's intimate friends, and from his own lips — that his engagement to Mrs. Shelton was positively broken off before he left Richmond.)
Now let me make some miscellaneous comments on your biography, the MS. of which you kindly submit:
It must be admitted that Edgar Poe did repeatedly, as occasion suited him, misstate his own age, as on page 2d.
It is doubtful whether Mr. Poe did actually ever "look forward to the inheritance of a large fortune" (p. 1), for he was not by any means the only one whom Mr. Allan considered in the disposition of his property, and he must have known what Mr. Allan frequently declared to be his intention, to provide liberally for Edgar in establishing him in some business which would afford him ample self-support. It was generally understood in social circles that the greater part of his fortune, in event of his wife's death, would be settled upon her sister, Miss Anne Valentine. She had been his first love, whom he addressed before he did her sister (this she told me as a secret) — he being at that time a poor man, rather rough and uncultured in mind and manner. It was said after his wife's death, he (in case of his own death unmarried) settled his handsome home on [column 2:] her as a home, or intended so to do; and certain it is that she continued to reside there with his widow until her own death. She was homely in person, but of a lovely disposition, and being, like Mrs. Allan herself, tactful and diplomatic, the two ladies agreed excellently well together. It was only in my mother's house and in confidential conversation with her and one of her own relatives, my Aunt Valentine, that I ever knew of Miss Anne's taking Edgar Poe's part against Mrs. Allan, she maintaining that the former had been "more sinned against than sinning." It was said that she often, after his rupture with the Allans, secretly supplied him with money.
Page 5. My mother remembered perfectly Mrs. Poe's appearance on the stage in Norfolk, she having been taken to "the play" as a treat. She looked, according to my mother, more like a girl of sixteen than a woman of thirty, which was said to be her real age, she being some years older than her husband. She was petite and very graceful, with a round, childish face, short dark curls and beautiful large laughing eyes. She was considered rather childish and silly, and not a talented actress, tho her beauty, piquancy and coquettish ways made her a great favorite on the stage. My mother said that her son resembled her in feature.
P. 23. Rosalie — not Rose — was — baptismal name of Poe's sister. [page 444:]
P. 27. I do not think that Edgar was "spoiled" by Mr. Allan. The latter was, from all accounts, an impulsive, quick-tempered man, and, as I have heard stated, very strict with the child, permitting no act of disrespect or disobedience to pass unpunished, unless at his wife's entreaties. I remember nearing of an instance of this. My uncle Valentine, who was as fond of fun as Edgar himself, taught the latter many mischievous little tricks, among which was that of pulling away a chair from a person about to sit down. Edgar was too little (about four or five) to discriminate as to the proper subjects for this joke (which had been positively forbidden by Mr. Allan) and one evening at a "tea-party," seeing a certain rather corpulent and dignified lady about to seat herself, suddenly snatched away her chair, he himself falling on the floor in an exuberance of delight. Mr. Allan's action was prompt, and when, after a brief absence with Edgar, he returned to the company, his wife took an opportunity of slipping away in order to comfort her pet.*
In regard to the engagement with Mrs. Shelton, it was broken by Mr. Poe himself in consequence, as we understood, of her refusing him a loan for the establishment of The Iris [Stylus], in the success of which she had no faith, and accusing him of wishing to marry her for her money. Poe himself, greatly disgusted, broke the engagement, and ceased his visits to her. He went for a stay of some days at the country home [Duncan's Lodge, on Broad Street, opposite the Lee Monument] of his friend, Mr. John Mackenzie, and I well remember that during his absence Mrs. Shelton one day came to see Mrs. Mackenzie, with whom she had no previous acquaintance, and had a private talk with her in the parlor, as was whispered in the family, about Mr. Poe's letters to her. I do not know what letters these were which she was so anxious to obtain and which he refused to give up unless she returned [column 2:] his own. There was certainly a bitter estrangement for a time, nor was there ever to us any evidence of a reconciliation — tho a letter from Poe and one from Mrs. Shelton to Mrs. Clemm, now in evidence, would indicate that the engagement was renewed, and Mrs. Shelton, on Poe's death, donned "widow's weeds" of the deepest mourning. He himself always denied, even in public, that any engagement existed between himself and Mrs. Shelton, and spoke of the schoolboy love affair with her as a case of "measles." Observe also Mrs. S.'s own statement on page 315 that she "was not engaged to him, but there was a partial understanding." With these contradictions the case is one difficult to be understood.
I did not know Mrs. Shelton, but saw her on two occasions — once, when she milled at Mrs. Mackenzie's, and again at Poe's lecture at the Exchange Hotel. She was a tall, rather masculine looking woman, with good features, hollow cheeks, thin lips and large blue eyes with purplish shadows about them, which had once probably been handsome. She was richly dressed, but had not a — particle of grace or style, and her countenance was wholly expressionless. She impressed me as being hard and cold — the type of a thoroughly respectable, sensible, matter-of-fact woman, with whom no one could associate an idea of romance or poetry. I heard her spoken of as "a rich widow," but she lived in a plain manner, in an ordinary, substantial brick house with a high square porch and not even a flower to ornament the front yard. Miss Van Lew once pointed out this house to me, a few doors above her own, saying, "I used to see Mr. Poe go in there when he first came to Richmond, but not during the last part of his stay here. Once or twice they walked out together, and we could not but notice the contrast between them even in size."
This house [now No. 2613 E. Grace Street, near, not opposite, St. John's] was opposite St. John's* Churchyard, where Poe's mother was buried.
Poe's last visit in Richmond was to Mrs. Shelton on the evening before his departure for Baltimore. In returning [page 445:] from her house he stopped, as was his custom, to rest at the office of Dr. John F. Carter, and then, instead of going on to the Swan Tavern, crossed over to Sadler's restaurant, whence he repaired at a late hour to the Baltimore boat, which was to leave at four o'clock. It was said that he was sober, but it is now certain, on the authority of Dr. Carter, that he did not send for his baggage at the Swan, and this explains a point which has been much commented upon by his biographers, who assert that his baggage was stolen from him in Baltimore. It was, after his death, forwarded to Mrs. Clemm in New York by Mr. John Mackenzie.
Speaking of Mrs. Shelton, Rose Poe — who was altogether without tact or judgment, wishing "to see her brother and Mrs. Shelton together," as she said — one day went to that lady's house when she knew that her brother was there. She was shown into the parlor, where she found him lying on a sofa with a headache from his long walk. Mrs. Shelton called her into the hall and said, "He does not need you here, and I will take care of him myself," — and so dismissed her, to her great indignation.
Shall I confess that I have little faith in the sincerity of Poe's love rhapsodies, especially as regards Mrs. Whitman? His letter to her (how could she ever have made it public?) is clearly no genuine love-inspired epistle, but an elaborate work of art intended to please the lady. A poetic college youth might have written such to a romantic girl in her teens, but between a man and a woman of nearly fifty such a passion as is here portrayed - such ideal visions of love in a cottage, etc. appear rather exaggerated. A gentleman who knew both Poe and Mrs. W. told me that her portrait had been greatly overdrawn and that he did not credit her account of Poe's insane conduct at her house; that he could not imagine Poe acting as described, and he also doubted whether the lines, "I saw thee once, once only," were addressed to her. But it is impossible to know to whom Poe's poems were originally addressed, except in the case of Mrs. Osgood, who appears to have been a genuinely sweet, feminine and lovable woman. It is strange, and to me incomprehensible, how freely all these women, down [column 2:] to Mrs. Shelton, have informed the public of their love passages with the poet. Mrs. Shelton had no children. Some of her family, the Roysters, are still living — in Hanover, I believe. They and the Sheltons were plain, respectable people — her husband, if I am not mistaken, a prosperous grocer on Church Hill. I believe that Mrs. Shelton was really anxious for the marriage with Poe. Mrs. Osgood accuses Mrs. Whitman and others of seeking Poe's acquaintance and attention, or, to use a common expression, "running after him," and this may he as well applied to Mrs. Shelton. After his wife's death she was continually inquiring about him of Mr. Thos. Mackenzie, and even sent messages — remembrances and regards — and hoped he would visit Richmond. Possibly letters may have passed between — them (the letters which she was afterward so anxious to regain possession of?). Mrs. Clemm, I heard, who had not favored Mrs. Whitman, was anxious for the match with Mrs. Shelton, whom she had known in Richmond, and with whom she anticipated a quiet and comfortable home. But when, after Poe's death, his poverty-stricken mother applied to Mrs. Shelton for a slight pecuniary aid, she received no response. Two weeks after Poe's death Mrs. Shelton made her appearance at church and on the street clad in deepest widow's weeds, which she wore for the prescribed conventional period. It is true that she used to be sarcastically pointed out as "Poe's Lenore." She was very "close" with her money, but appears to have been a good woman — pious, and on good terms with her relatives and acquaintances, and much esteemed by them.
About Poe's last lecture in Richmond — it took place, not, like the former one, at the Exchange Hotel, but at the "Odd Fellows' Hall," just below, on Franklin Street (afterward police court). With mv mother and sister and Rose Poe, I attended, and, arriving late, found about s'xty persons, mostly of Richmond's repsentative [[representative]] society, assembled — the Cabells, Carringtons, Miles Careys, Daniels, Ellises, etc. — an appreciative audience. Mrs. Shelton was pointed out to me occupying, with a male friend, a conspicuous front seat exactly opposite the platform. This was, I think, during the [page 446:] period of their estrangement. Mr. Poe, clad, as usual, in black, stepped upon the platform, and, gracefully bowing, commenced his lecture ("The Poetic Principle"), his hands resting upon either a railing or a low writing desk in front of -him. During the whole lecture he never changed his position or made a gesture even with his hands, but his expression was constantly changing, and it was almost impossible to remove one's eyes from his face. The audience seemed fascinated and listened breathlessly and almost as motionless as the speaker. Upon concluding he again bowed, and then, without a pause, came quickly down the steps to where we were seated, in doing so passing Mrs. Shelton without notice. He looked unusually pleased, and handsomer than I had ever seen him. People observed him curiously and some waited, evidently desiring to speak to him; but he appeared oblivious of their presence, not once glancing toward them. His face, with the beautiful, soft smiling expression of his eyes, I can this moment in memory behold as plainly as I then did. Rose, who was very proud of her brother, and also of herself as "the poet's sister," was almost absurdly happy, and remarked: "Edgar, just see how those people are staring at us — the poet and his sister."
I can recall him in various situations — once, strolling meditatively and alone — in the old Hermitage road at twilight, and, again, holding a skein of yarn for Mrs. Mackenzie to wind. It was on a Friday that I was introduced to him, and on the following Sunday at church I was surprised to see him enter and very quietly -take a seat just across the aisle opposite us. He sat motionless and attentive during the service, only once or twice turning his head and glancing up at the choir during the fine singing. I observed that his appearance attracted attention, tho he was not recognized as the poet about whom everybody was then talking: He walked with us up Franklin Street to my uncle's, Dr. Archer's, but would not accept his invitation to enter. My uncle remarked, as he left, that he still looked much like the Poe whom he had when post-surgeon at Old Point often seen there in the uniform, of a private.
On the day following this my mother, [column 2:] sister and myself were going down Main Street, when we passed Mr. Poe and Dr. Gibbon Carter with several other gentlemen at the entrance of the American Hotel. We stopped at a jeweler's, when presently they appeared and stood just outside, while my sister and myself in the doorway talked to them. Mr. Poe stood bareheaded, with his hat and cane held behind him, the beau ideal of a courteous, elegant and high-bred gentleman, — as, indeed, he appeared to me on all occasions. These brief glimpses may serve to give some idea of his general manners and appearance.
I have often wondered whether the renewal of the engagement with Mrs. Shelton (if there was a renewal) was the result of that lady's offering to assist Mr. Poe, pecuniarily, in establishing the Stylus. In my last interview with him he appeared so cheerful and confident of its success.
I do not know what became of the review of my poems which Mr. Poe in my last interview with him told me that he was writing-probably it was only a beginning, and as such valueless after his death-and so I missed being immortalized.
I once on a quiet, drizzling summer day had an hour's talk with Mr. Poe in cur own parlor about "The Raven," when he said: "Do you know that 'The Raven' was originally not a Raven at all, but an Owl? " I hardly noticed then what if I had been older' would have so much interested me. I only asked why he had made the change. To which he replied, " For sake of the 'nevermore.'." I afterward mentioned the circumstance to Dr. Holland (editor of Scribner's), who said that he had heard something of the same kind, but did not credit it. For this reason I refrained from mentioning it in my "Last Days" of Poe. But in reading the poem one comes upon words and expressions which irresistibly remind us of the Owl, the bird of wisdom-Minerva's bird, which "perched upon the bust of Pallas" — more appropriate to an Owl than a Raven —
"Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore," etc., etc.
Moreover, owls are night-birds and, [page 447:]
as is well known, are attracted to lighted windows at night, which doesn't apply to ravens.
"And its eyes have all the seeming of a demon that is dreaming"
is decidedly owlish. But I would not venture at this late day and with no proof to put forth this claim of Owl versus Raven.
In an article of mine published some 15 or 20 years ago, on "The Sister of Edgar A. Poe," I gave the following account of the Poe children, the first glimpse which we have of Edgar, and on the authority of my own mother. I have no copy of the magazine in which it was published (The Manhattan or Cosmopolitan), and must, therefore, quote from memory.
In November, 1811, my mother, as a child of ten years (sister of the late Dr. Robert Archer Richmond), was living in Norfolk; and a daily visitor at the house of her aunt, Mrs. Butt, on Bermuda Street In the attic of the adjoining house were lodged Mr. and Mrs. Poe, two small children, and a nurse — the latter an old Welsh woman (she may have been Scotch) called Mrs. Tubbs or Tibbs. Tibbs, who spoke imperfect English in a way which amused my mother. Mr. Poe was sick in bed, and the nurse kept the two children mostly out of doors, the weather, tho in winter, being mild and sunny. The eldest, a beautiful boy, was very gay and restless and not easily controlled, while the girl was quiet and generally sat on the nurse's lap. Both were apparently wayward, spoiled children. My mother recalled how one day the boy persisted in running to and fro across the narrow street, and came near being killed by a runaway horse, when the nurse dropped the little girl and rushed toward him, crying, "Ho! Hedgar! Hedgar!" People would often stop to admire the children, and my mother repeatedly heard the nurse say in answer to an inquiry, Rosie is two years (and certain months) old, and Hedgar is just four." Note that this was in November of 1811.
To obtain additional evidence on this point, I some years since wrote to my old friend, Mrs. Byrd, a daughter of Mrs. Mackenzie, and with whom Rose Poe had been brought up, knowing that [column 2:] at the time of the children's baptism or "adoption" their ages had been registered. The following is her answer, here copied verbatim, from the original note now in my possession:
You ask the date of Edgar's and Rose's birth. From a remark of his [in a letter in answer to her wedding invitation: S. A. W.], he said that if I had put off my marriage one week it would have been on his birthday. I was married the 5th of October. He was born in the year 1808, Rose in 1810. Their mother died 8 Dec. 1811, & on the 9th the children were taken to Mr. Allan's & our house. Their mother was boarding at Mrs. Fip's, (a milliner) in Richmond, & was buried at the old Church [St. John's] on the hill. Mr. Poe died first, in Norfolk, I think.
It is certain that Mr. Poe died in Norfolk; where the company with which they were playing (Mr. Placide's) were compelled to leave him on account of his illness, while they went on to Richmond. On hearing of his death one of them returned to Norfolk and brought the whole family to Richmond, intending to take them to their friends in Baltimore, but Mrs. Poe being taken with pneumonia, died as above. Mrs. Mary Carter (daughter of Major James Gibbon and mother of the late Mrs. Minnegerode), who was always very severe in her condemnation of Edgar Poe's Baltimore relatives in connection with their treatment of the children, asserted that Mr. Placide took pains to inform them to inform them of the pitiable condition of the family; he himself being very generous in providing for them; but it does not appear that they made any response until after Mr. Allan and Mr. Mackenzie had at their own expense had Mrs. Poe buried in St. John's churchyard. The grave is now unknown, tho "close to the Eastern wall," as I have been told.*
On the whole, the old nurse's account would appear to be the most authentic and reliable, she being in a position to know certainly what she stated, while the other testimony was only from hearsay. Also her account would agree with Poe's own statement to Mrs. Byrd that the 12th of October was his birthday.
"Grandmother Arnold" was this old Welsh or Scotch nurse, Mrs. Tubbs — or Tibbs, as she was known in Richmond. In her last illness Mrs. Poe called her "Mother," while she always addressed [page 448:] the latter as "Betty." It was said by some that the name of Arnold was an assumed stage name — evidently preferable to Tubbs.
The company with which the Poes were playing was Mr. Placide's, not Mr. Green's, the latter and his wife being leading members of the company.
Mr. Gill asserts that the father died, three years later [than his wife] of the same disease. Mr. Gill is all wrong.* Mrs. Poe's lodgings were plain but respectable, in the house of a milliner, in the damp, low-lying portion of Main Street, just above the Old Market known as "Bird in the Hand." There could have been no such wretched surroundings as described by Gill. The pawning or selling of her clothes is due to Mr. Gill's very fertile fancy.
Neither Edgar nor Rosalie was in the legal sense "adopted" by Mr. Allan or the Mackenzies; they were simply "taken in," as any charitably disposed person might arrange to protect, two destitute orphan children.
The "fashionable school" spoken of [column 2:] was not "kept by the Mackenzies," but by Miss Jean Mackenzie, sister of the gentleman who "adopted " Rosalie.
[Thus far Mrs. Weiss still further expresses her emphatic dissent from the statements made (page 112) in the letter from Mr. Allan's niece accusing Poe of forgery and of brutal conduct during Mr. Allan's last illness. She adds:] The account which I have heard of this occurrence is (with some slight variation) simply this — that Poe, having been informed that Mr. Allan had expressed some kind feeling toward him, went to the house and requested to see him — and that this being refused, he stepped into the hall and insisted upon the message being delivered to Mr. Allan himself; whereupon Mrs. Allan ordered the servant to "put that drunken man out of the house." This was all.
I, of course, do not intend in the least to disparage your correspondent, who has simply told what she had heard and believed, but I consider that I have the best and most reliable authority, in a word, of such well-known ladies as Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Mackenzie, Mrs. Peter Chevalie, Mrs. Julia Mayo Cabell and others of equally high standing. The occurrence was well known and much discussed in society.
[The following footnote appears at the bottom of page 444, column 1:]
* Our knowledge of the now well-known fact that Poe enlisted in the United States army is due not to Mr. Gill or Professor Woodberry, but to Mrs. Weiss whose uncle, Dr. Archer, was post surgeon at Old Point at the time and often saw Poe in his uniform as a private there. Following out Mrs. Weiss's suggestion, Professor Woodberry then went to work and established the fact by documentary evidence obtained from the War Department. Honor to whom honor is due. — J. A. H.
[The following footnote appears at the bottom of page 444, column 2:]
* The church celebrated in Virginia annals as the place where Patrick Henry pronounced the famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech. — J. A. H.
[The following footnote appears at the bottom of page 447, column 2:]
* Of course this contradicts all the traditional accounts of Poe's birth day and year, the records of the University of Virginia, etc. Poe himself gave varying accounts of his age, substituted his sister's age for his own, etc. What are we to believe? — J. A. H.
[The following footnote appears at the bottom of page 448, column 1:]
* There is indubitable evidence, in an unpublished letter. written by Poe himself, giving the history and genealogy of his family, that his father died several weeks after his mother. Mrs. Weiss corrects the statement (p. 8) that "little Rosalie came after her father's death, to add to the distresses and troubles of the mother," holding that she was at least two years old at this time. — J. A. H.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Cornhole, the strange-sounding game made popular in backyards and at football tailgate parties, is taking on a serious side this week.
The American Cornhole Organization will crown its world champions as about 380 competitors from 17 states vie for $10,000 in prize money in singles and doubles events.
Cornhole involves tossing one-pound bags filled with plastic pellets into a hole in a slanted board 27 feet away. Players earn points depending on whether the bags land in the hole or on the board. The first one to 21 points wins.
The Guy family of Alexandria, Kentucky, has won six of the eight singles titles.
Bret Guy, 20, is the defending champion. His father is five-time champion Matt Guy. They also are doubles partners.
"Any day of the week, anyone can get knocked out," said Bret Guy, who has been playing since he was 9.
Other than lots of practice, he has no special formula to winning.
"I just try to throw it in the hole. Anyway I can," he said.
The American Cornhole Organization debuted in 2005 to develop the competitive side to the game. President Frank Geers said it's more economical than golf and doesn't require large groups of people.
"Cornhole gives a person with that competitive itch something to do," Geers said.
Toby Smith, of Blacksburg, Virginia, went to a Virginia Tech football game at Wake Forest in 2006 when he was recruited to play cornhole at a nearby tailgate party. He has been hooked ever since.
Smith, a 35-year-old engineer, has cornhole boards set up at his office so he can practice for an hour or two after work.
"It's gobs of strategy," Smith said during a break in the tournament.
Some throws are meant to push other bags into the hole or block an opponent. The "airmail," or a high lob, goes directly into the hole.
Although its origins aren't clear, with different groups and regions laying claim to popularizing the game, cornhole's name derives from bags that were originally filled with corn.
For the organization, that changed when one of its clients, a cruise line, complained that the corn attracted rodents on its ships. The bags also were prone to mildew, bugs and would lose weight and density over time. For consistency's sake, plastic resin pellets replaced the corn, Geers said.
The tournament, which ends Saturday, will hand out grand prizes of $1,100 for the men's singles winner and $1,000 to the winning men's doubles team. There are also women's competitions.
"When you're out there throwing, it's serious," Smith said. "And then as soon as it's over, it's time to buy somebody a beer."

S&P Constructive on Junk Bond ETFs
Increased confidence in an economic turnaround and the Fed's efforts to keep interest rates low are catalysts that could continue to bolster junk bond ETFs this year, says S&P.
Editor's Note: This content was originally published on Benzinga.com by The ETF Professor.
Despite ongoing bubble calls and speculation the asset class is overvalued, junk bonds and the ETFs where those bonds make a home continue to defy the critics. Even after modest losses Monday, the largest high-yield bond ETFs are still found trading just pennies below their respective 52-week highs.
S&P Capital IQ says "high-yield ETFs will likely benefit from an improving economy and low-rate environment."
In a research note published Monday, S&P Capital IQ notes nearly $10 billion flowed into high-yield bond ETFs last year and that "high-yield defaults are at only 2.7% vs. a 4.5% long-term average."
While there has been ample talk that high-yield bonds are heading toward a bubble, some investors have noted the current environment for the asset class is not reminiscent of past bubbles. The argument being that much of the new issuance seen in 2012 was used for refinancing purposes, not to fund dividends or leveraged buyouts.
Increased confidence in an economic turnaround and the Federal Reserve's efforts to keep interest rates low for the foreseeable future are catalysts that could continue to bolster junk bond ETFs this year, according to S&P.
"In this low interest-rate environment and with confidence in the macro economy spurring investors to take on more risk, we think investors will continue to find high-yield ETFs attractive, in part because of their low cost structure," S&P analyst Todd Rosenbluth said in the note.
S&P Capital IQ highlighted the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (NYSEARCA:HYG) as one ETF investors can use to gain exposure to high-yield corporates. HYG is the largest junk bond ETF by assets with over $16.1 billion as of January 11. The fund has a 30-day SEC yield of 5.11 percent and an effective duration of 3.92 years.
Consumer staples, energy and financial services are HYG's largest sector weights. S&P said HYG hauled in $4.5 billion in new investments last year, making the number eight ETF of any type by 2012 inflows. HYG has gained about six percent in the past year.
HYG's most direct competitor is the $12.8 billion SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:JNK). JNK features a 30-day SEC yield of 5.19 percent and a modified adjusted duration of 4.16 years. Modified adjusted duration is an option-adjusted measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Calculated as the percentage change of a portfolio's value for a 100 basis point change in yield, according to State Street.
As has been previously noted, JNK has a tracking error issue, meaning the ETF has a tendency to lag its benchmark index by wide margins. S&P said JNK its index by 100 basis points through November 2012. JNK's tracking error issues have made it the preferred vehicle for professionals looking to short a broad basket of high-yield bonds.
S&P also highlighted the duration in its note, saying "Duration is another important consideration when investing in bond ETFs. Duration is a measure of the price responsiveness of interest-sensitive assets to changes in the interest rate, stated in years. So, if a fund has a duration of two years, that suggests for every 1% increase in the interest rate the price of the fund may drop by 2%."
The SPDR Barclays Short Term High Yield Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:SJNK) one of the most successful new ETFs to come to market last year, is the lower duration answer to JNK. SJNK features a 30-day SEC yield of 4.56 percent and a modified adjusted duration of about 2.1 years.
SJNK has risen about three percent in the past year, but the ETF's ability to attract assets stands in stark to contrast to speculation that cash has been fleeing high-yield bond funds. On December 4, SJNK had less than $519 million in AUM, but started trading on Monday with almost $701 million in assets, according to State Street data.
"The assets this ETF attracted in such a short time are pretty impressive. Along with its low-cost structure and relatively large payout, it provides exposure to high yield with a duration offset for the investor who believes interest rates may climb faster than either the Fed or Standard & Poor's Economics believes," Rosenbluth says.

Hundreds rally, seek end to strikes on Gaza
DENVER (AP) — Hundreds gathered for a rally at the State Capitol and a march through downtown Denver to call for an end to what they called a humanitarian crisis brought on by conflict in Gaza.
Demonstrators waving red, black, white and green Palestinian flags and signs that read "End Collective Punishment" gathered on the Capitol lawn Saturday. Police said the group marched peacefully through Denver.
The rally was organized by a coalition of groups supporting a Palestinian homeland. One of the rally's leaders is Nadeen Ibrahim, president of the Muslim Student Association at the University of Colorado, Denver.
Rocket attacks from Gaza and Israeli military action over 12 days have killed five Israelis and 342 Palestinians. United Nations officials say that about 50,000 Palestinians are already staying in UN shelters.

Illness claims Lakes Region school chiefBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
January 13. 2013 11:37PM
BRISTOL - Newfound Regional School District Superintendent Dr. Marie Ross, who officially stepped down from her post because of illness last month, died Saturday night at the age of 58 from a cancerous brain tumor.
Ross, who had what was described as a stroke and a "brain bleed" on Sept. 29, had been thought by her family to be recovering, according to her daughter, Marina MacDonald.
"We thought she would recover 100 percent from her stroke ... We later found out that she had a glioblastoma on Nov 15," MacDonald said. "We spent her last weeks celebrating her life, spoiling her in any way we could, and making her wishes come true."
"She believed it most important to be a kind, giving heart than anything else in this world. Her kindness, generosity and constant concern for others were ever present up until the very end."
Ross lived in New Hampton with her husband, Sherman Ross, and had three adult daughters, all of whom were working Sunday to organize a remembrance ceremony at an as-yet-undetermined date, Sherman Ross said. Ross also has one son, Josh.
"They're working hard at it right now," he said Sunday afternoon.
School officials also thought she was recovering, School Board Chairman Vincent Paul Migliore said. "We were shocked and saddened to hear her condition was terminal last week," he said.
Ross suffered a stroke while visiting her youngest daughter in Maryland. She was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital's Neurocritical Care Unit and was "closely monitored for additional swelling as a result of a fairly large bleed in her brain," her daughter said on a website dedicated to her mother's recovery titled "We Love Marie Ross."
She had been superintendent at Newfound since 2005. She began her career as a teacher at Grace Christian School in Merrimack in 1985 after spending years raising her four children at home. She then taught at Reeds Ferry Elementary school, served in the Nashua School District as curriculum coordinator, and was an assistant superintendent for the Laconia School District. She also taught at Notre Dame College in Manchester.
The district has hired an interim superintendent, Dr. Phil McCormack, and is searching for a new superintendent.
"It is a sad, sad day for us all in the Newfound District, but mostly for those who were closest to Marie, as she was a beloved figure who brought an unmatched level of positive energy and enthusiasm to her role and was a very important member of our community.
She will be both fondly remembered and sorely missed, Migliore said.

Sophomore Fatima Bawany Organizes Outreach Program at Mary's Place
Since she was a senior at Brighton High School, Fatima Bawany '15 has been looking for ways to inspire the young refugees with whom she volunteers. Now, thanks to a $10,000 grant from Davis Projects for Peace, the University of Rochester undergraduate is launching a summer enrichment program with Mary's Place Refugee Outreach and the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence. The three-part project, which includes a retreat focused on leadership development, a photography project called a View of Hope, and workshops on educational opportunities after high school, runs from Monday, July 15 through Saturday, Aug. 10.
The first part of Bawany's project, "Voices of Hope: Empowering the Next Generation of Refugees," includes a five-day retreat for up to 25 high school and college-age youth associated with Mary's Place and other refugee communities in the area. Through interactive workshops developed in partnership with the Gandhi Institute, participants will learn about essential leadership skills such as communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration. Partners also will work with youth to identify ways they can contribute to their community through service and organize two projects carried out by the youth.
The second part of Bawany's program was inspired by a documentary that followed children as they took photographs of their daily lives. Bawany will provide each participant with a disposable camera to capture anything during the project that inspires them or gives them hope. At the end of the project, "A View of Hope" gallery and reception will underscore community support for the refugee youth and allow these young people to express their ideas creatively. "By seeing such a high level of support, the students will gain confidence in their potential to succeed," she said.
Understanding the importance of college readiness, Bawany is organizing a weeklong college fair for the group, which rounds out the third part of her Davis Peace Project. Students will visit local colleges, meet college representatives, and develop communication skills, such as essay writing and public speaking. She has also created a handbook of resources that includes information on college fairs and visitation programs as well as vocational preparation workshops in the community. The handbook will be available to youth associated with Mary's Place.
"The project's main message is: 'you can be a leader in your community,' that with the right resources and support, they can do something meaningful and create positive change," she explained, noting that one of the most valuable aspects of the project is in providing the students with tools to succeed.
The following activities are open to media:
Leadership Retreat Conclusion, "Soccer for Peace" Game
Friday, July 19, 3:30 to 5 p.m., M.K. Gandhi Institute (929 S. Plymouth Ave.)
Participants will conclude the five-day leadership retreat by writing messages to each other. They also will play a game called "Soccer for Peace," an alternative soccer game in which the rules center on promoting gender equality, collaboration, and community rather than competition.
Community Service Project at Gandhi Institute
Saturday, July 20, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., M.K. Gandhi Institute (929 S. Plymouth Ave.) Participants will plant flowers along the Genesee River and discuss why it is important to care for the environment. The students will plant from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and picnic from 1 to 3 p.m.
Community Service Project at Mary's Place
Saturday, July 27, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Mary's Place Outreach (414 Lexington Ave)
Participants will construct a piece of art that promotes understanding and acceptance, or help maintain a garden for Nepali refugees.
A View of Hope Gala
Saturday, August 10, 1 to 4 p.m., M.K. Gandhi Institute (929 S. Plymouth Ave.)
A gala at the Gandhi Institute will showcase the students' work and raise awareness about the refugee population in the Rochester area. Students will receive certificates, display their photographs from A View of Hope, and perform cultural songs. This event is open to the public and will be business casual.
Members of the media wishing to schedule interviews or photo opportunities should call Fatima Bawany at 585.465.3568 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger Kansas Preview
October 5, 2011
Brad Keselowski
No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger
Hollywood Casino 400
Kansas Speedway
October 9, 2011
TV: ESPN at 2:00 PM Radio: MRN/Sirius Channel 90 at 1:00 PM
No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger News and Notes
• This Week's Charger… The No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger team will race chassis PRS-753 during Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway. Keselowski last raced this chassis to a third-place finish at Michigan International Speedway in August.
• No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge in 2011... After 29 points-paying events, Keselowski and the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger team are ranked sixth in the 2011 Chase for the Championship standings. Keselowski is just 14 points behind leader Kevin Harvick following a 20th-place finish in the AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway last Sunday.
• Recent Winner… Keselowski picked up his first career NASCAR Cup Series victory as a member of Penske Racing in the STP 400 at Kansas on June 5. The victory began the start of a torrid summer stretch for Keselowski, in which he picked up two more wins and qualified for his first Chase for the Championship.
• Uncharacteristic for BK… Keselowski's 20th-place finish at Dover last weekend marked only the second time in the last 10 races that the driver of the "Blue Deuce" has finished outside the top 10.
• Have At It, Brad… The featured tag line on the bumper of the "Blue Deuce" this weekend at Kansas will be "Have At It, Brad." With his aggressive driving style, Keselowski has embodied NASCAR's "Have at it, Boys" mantra.
• Have a Beer with Brad… Keselowski will make an appearance at Danny's Bar and Grill located at 10940 Parallel Parkway in Kansas City, Kan., beginning at 7:00 p.m. ET on Friday, October 7.
• The Rest is History... Penske Racing has competed in every NASCAR Cup Series event held at Kansas Speedway since the racetrack opened in 2001. In that first event, Ryan Newman and Rusty Wallace finished second and fourth, respectively, to capture two of the organization's five top-five finishes at the track. In 26 combined starts, Penske Racing drivers have captured two wins (2003 – Ryan Newman, 2011 – Keselowski), nine top-10 finishes and have led 498 laps at Kansas Speedway.
Brad Keselowski on returning to Kansas Speedway as the most recent winner at the track
"Wow. So much has happened this year since we won at Kansas, but I don't want the significance of that win lost in the fact that we won two more races and made the Chase. That win at Kansas was special because we knew we were doing the right things to be successful, but just didn't get the luck needed to win. Winning at Kansas was a validation, of sorts, and it was definitely the catalyst for what we were able to accomplish as the summer months wore on. We won the race on fuel mileage, but we had a very fast car throughout the race. We ran in the top-10 most of the day. With a fast Miller Lite Dodge and good fuel mileage, I'm confident about our chances this weekend."
Brad Keselowski on rebounding from his finish last weekend at Dover International Speedway
"You know, 10 races is a long time to go without having a few problems. We had some misfortune at Dover with the power steering belt getting knocked off, but we were able to battle back and get the best finish we could. It's tough when you have a good car – and we had a really good car at Dover – and you can't capitalize on the points leader having a bad day. But to look at it objectively, we only lost three points to the leader and we only sit 14 points back with seven races to go. That's not a bad position to be in, especially when you're still considered to be a dark horse or underdog. But we do want to send a message this weekend that we are going to fight to the finish."
Crew chief Paul Wolfe on Kansas Speedway
"Even though we were able to get the win in June from the 25th position, we really want to qualify better this weekend at Kansas. Track position and clean air are key at that track. Once we got Brad out in front, it was like it was a completely different Miller Lite Dodge. Not only were we able to pick up the win the last time we were there, we also learned a lot about our car. We've seen improvement each time we have gone back to a track for the second time and I expect the same thing this weekend. The Chase battle is getting tight so we want to come out of here with a good finish."

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – For the third time in school history, the 16th ranked Florida State indoor volleyball team is set for an NCAA Regional Championship, as they will face Wisconsin (25-9) at 4 p.m. (CT) on Friday in the Sweet 16 Round. The Seminoles, (26-7) join three other Big Ten Teams in the Champaign Regional.
"It is, hopefully, going to be some great volleyball and we're looking forward to the opportunity to be here and represent the ACC," head coach Chris Poole said. "We know that certainly the Big Ten is a great conference they have done a great job all year. We expect all the teams we meet to be very good."
The match with the 12th-seeded Badgers will be the first of two in the Champaign Regional on Friday night as Illinois and Purdue will battle at 6 p.m. at the State Farm Center on the campus of the University of Illinois.
"We teach the girls that when its game time you look across the net and just see jerseys," Poole said. "You don't see faces or worry about names, you're just trying to play at the highest level you can. Certainly I think that our players are playing with a lot of confidence right now. There's no way of knowing how everyone is going to respond. We have pretty good balance offensively. I think some things we're talked about are consistency, trying to cut down on errors, trying not to let things overwhelm us. Knowing how well Wisconsin has done this year you can't just say `well, we've got an advantage in this part of the game.' They have great middles, a great setter, they have great defense, outsides that are very good, great passing, so there's not a true weakness to them. It's going to be which team is going to be more consistent starting off. It's going to be real important to keep our heads, not panic, and recover."
The winners of both matches will move on to play at 5:30 p.m. (CT) on Saturday night, with hopes of advancing to the NCAA Volleyball Championships in Seattle, Wash. next weekend.
In its school record setting fifth-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, Florida State found its way into the Sweet 16 after defeating Georgia Southern (3-0) in the first round before pulling off a shocking upset over fifth-seeded Florida in the Gainesville Sub-Regional last weekend.
Sophomore outside hitter Nicole Walch is hitting .306 percent throughout the NCAA Tournament on 37 kills. Walch led the Seminole attack and hit for double-double figures in each of those matches.
Wisconsin found its way into its 11th Sweet 16 appearance in program history after a pair of 3-0 defeats over Milwaukee and California.
Florida State has never face Wisconsin in school history, however senior right side hitter Elise Walch spent her freshman season as a member of the Badger squad, where she hit 2.56 kills per set.
"I'm excited to see some former teammates," Elise Walch said. "They've got a great program there. But for game time, it's just like any other game and it's any other team on the other side of the net and we're going to play our game."
Friday's matches will be streamed live through ESPN3.com and Saturday's Regional Final will be aired on ESPNU. Live stats and other information can be found to the tournament website.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's official purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to a 13-month high in April, signaling the economy has found a footing and may be recovering from a first-quarter trough, but smaller factories are still struggling.
The pick-up in the PMI to 53.3 from 53.1 in March indicated a further expansion in the vast factory sector, although it was slightly below market expectations of 53.6. Readings above 50 signal expansion while those below 50 point to contraction.
The manufacturing output sub-index rose to 57.2 from 55.2 in March. However, the National Bureau of Statistics noted many important industries remained weak with index readings below 50, among them chemicals, equipment, autos and oil refining.
The improvement in manufacturing likely reflected restocking after a slow winter, said Ting Lu, an economist at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch.
He said infrastructure investment was recovering as the dust settled from a corruption scandal in the Ministry of Railroads and from bureaucratic reshuffling at the local government level.
Although new export orders edged up to 52.2 from 51.9 in March, the sub-index for all new orders slipped to 54.5 from 55.1, implying that domestic new orders remained weak.
The PMI boosted Australian shares, but did little to move other markets where investors are concerned about a sluggish U.S. economy and the bubbling euro area debt crisis. Indeed, many markets, including those in China, are closed on Monday to mark public holidays.
Australian shares extended gains on the day to 0.5 percent after the PMI. The market had been up 0.2 percent before the figures were released.
Tight credit, especially for real estate developers and private firms, had helped push the Chinese economy to its weakest footing since the fall of 2008. But there are signs that the availability of loans is improving.
New loans in April may have reached 900 billion yuan ($140 billion), the Caijing Magazine said this weekend, citing a recent report by China International Capital Corp, or CICC. More attractive interest rates led to an acceleration in new mortgages, it added.
"Policymakers continue to grapple with the challenge of loosening enough to prevent a sharp slowdown, but not loosening too much and sparking an inflationary spiral," said Alastair Thornton, analyst at IHS Global Insight.
China's annual growth slowed to 8.1 percent in the first quarter of 2012 from 8.9 percent in the previous three months — the fifth consecutive quarter of slowdown in the world's second-largest economy.
While large-scale manufacturers continue to report growth, small firms remain in contraction, the statistics bureau said. The tight credit conditions have disproportionately hit smaller and private companies, as reflected in a survey of smaller factories by HSBC.
The HSBC Flash PMI, the earliest indicator of China's industrial activity, showed a stabilizing economy last week. That index's reading of 49.1 for April came in below 50 for the sixth month in a row, reflecting a contraction in the factory sector, however the rate of deterioration slowed in a sign the economy may have bottomed out in the first quarter.
HSBC is due to release its final reading for April on Wednesday.
"Economic activity has started to recover but at a relatively slow pace," Capital Economics' analyst Qinwei Wang said in a note before the official data, citing an index of data the firm tracks.

By PHIL BARBER
Hayley Johnson will start in the backfield for UC San Diego when the fifth-ranked Tritons take on No.3 Grand Valley State in the NCAA Division II women's soccer Final Four today. And the ball will be round.
To observe that Johnson will start for UCSD is simply to state the obvious. This will be the Tritons' 90th game since the Maria Carrillo grad joined them in the fall of 2009, and she has lined up at the opening whistle of the previous 89.
"I didn't know this, but the coaches knew I'd be starting when I came in as a freshman," Johnson said by phone from Evans, Ga., site of the Final Four. "I remember telling my parents, 'Oh, gosh, I'm so scared. I'm going to get cut. Everyone is so good here.' It turned out to be far from the truth. … I feel blessed."
UCSD has advanced to the NCAA tournament each of Johnson's four years, and that is no coincidence. A two-time All-West Region first-team pick, she has been a big part of the Tritons' success.
And it isn't just Johnson's stout defense that makes her valuable. Accurate and able to kick equally well with either foot, she has taken the vast majority of UCSD's corner kicks and free kicks over the past three years. Partly because of this role (and partly because coach Brian McManus encourages her to gravitate upfield and get involved in the Tritons' offense), Johnson is tied for fifth in program history with 33 assists.
"Hayley's one of the most productive defenders I've had," said McManus, who has won 433 games and seven NCAA championships (five in D3, two in D2) in 26 seasons at San Diego. "Her ability to strike the ball with two feet has been incredible for us. … She's one of the best dead-ball kickers we've had at UCSD."
Now Johnson gets another crack at a national title. Her closest brush came two years ago when UCSD lost in the championship game — to Grand Valley State, today's opponent. That 4-0 defeat still grates on Johnson, one of four current Tritons who started in 2010.
"We want to go out with a bang," she said. "And against this team, there's definitely extra motivation. Honestly, the last time was embarrassing."
There were extenuating circumstances two years ago. The weather in Louisville, Ky., was frightful. Temperatures hovered in the 20s, and the athletes played through sporadic snow flurries. It did rain Tuesday in Evans (near Augusta and the South Carolina border), but conditions are expected to be mild for the tournament at Blanchard Woods Park, with temperatures in the 60s. In other words, San Diego weather.
Not that this game will be a stroll in the park. Grand Valley State, located in Allendale, Mich., is 20-1-3, a record built on stifling defense. The Lakers lead the nation in goals-against average (.365) and shutout percentage (.75). They have allowed nine goals in 2,220 minutes this season.
Numbers like that put some pressure on Johnson and her mates on the back line. Even a 1-0 deficit might be hard to overcome, meaning any mistake could be deadly.
At least the Tritons won't be intimidated if the game proves to be a nailbiter. They are on a dizzy run of four consecutive overtime wins in the postseason, a streak that started with a victory over Sonoma State in the CCAA championship game. Johnson clinched that one in penalty kicks, with a ball to the lower left corner of the net against her former local university. UCSD moved on to the D2 championships, beating Seattle Pacific in double overtime, Western Washington in overtime and Colorado School of Mines on penalty kicks.
It's possible that Johnson's leadership plays a role in the Tritons' confidence.
"She's one of our captains," McManus said. "She's not a screamer. She leads by example. The way she talks to players, she doesn't need to scream or shout. When she talks, she talks sense."
This year, Johnson's teammates include two other Redwood Empire products. Sophomore forward Casey Parisi, who transferred after one season at New Jersey Institute of Technology and redshirted for the Tritons last year, plays frequently off the bench. Redshirt freshman Christen Chalmers hasn't seen as much playing time, but is part of the travel squad in Georgia.
Parisi and Chalmers both played at Montgomery, Maria Carrillo's most heated North Bay League rival, but Johnson was excited to welcome them last year. She played with Parisi at camps since the two were children, and knew Chalmers, too.
Their days as teammates are dwindling. Johnson, who just this week was announced as an Academic All-America third-team pick for D2 women's soccer, expects to graduate in the spring with a degree in environmental systems. She carries a GPA of 3.4 and is looking at graduate programs. She is also thinking of trying out as a kicker for the Lingerie Football League, she added with a sheepish laugh.
First, Johnson has some unfinished business — one last shot to cap a stellar college career with a national championship.
"It's definitely kind of surreal being here as a senior," Johnson said. "Just knowing it's for the last time, knowing there's a definite time period now, that this is my last weekend of college soccer."
Johnson will miss UCSD soccer. And you know the reverse will be equally true.

Londonderry's Brian Wilson signs with L.A. DodgersThe Sports Xchange
July 30. 2013 9:03PM
"The Beard" appears to be heading to Los Angeles, and the move will be another tough pill to swallow for San Francisco Giants fans struggling through a disappointing season.
Former Giants closer Brian Wilson has chosen to sign with the Dodgers, according to multiple reports. The popular reliever with impressive facial hair and a more impressive fastball was a key figure on the 2010 World Series champions.
A Yahoo! Sports report said Wilson will report to the Dodgers' complex in Arizona, then head to Rancho Cucamonga. He could report to the big-league club in as soon as two weeks.
When he arrives, Wilson will likely serve as an eighth-inning setup man ahead of closer Kenley Jansen.
The 31-year-old Wilson had Tommy John elbow ligament transfer surgery in April 2012, and had thrown recently for teams at UCLA. The Giants, Pittsburgh Pirates and Arizona Diamondbacks were also believed to be serious about signing Wilson.
The right-hander recorded 48 saves and posted a 1.81 ERA for the Giants in 2010, then added six more saves in the postseason as the Giants went on to defeat the Texas Rangers in the World Series. His final save came in the clinching game.
Wilson grew up in Londonderry, N.H., and pitched at Londonderry High.

UPDATED: Police say Seabrook mother told kids bleach was medicineBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
July 29. 2013 7:48PM
SEABROOK— Two young children who were fed bleach told police how they were held down at the same time and forced to drink what they were told was "medicine" by their mother, according to an arrest warrant released Monday.
Wendy Wright, 33, of 15 True Road in Seabrook, also drank bleach herself on June 18 sometime before her 7-year-old daughter fled their home seeking help from a neighbor, Seabrook police Detective Daniel Lawrence said in a sworn affidavit.
Wright is charged with two counts of first-degree assault for allegedly making her 7-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son ingest bleach at their home on June 18.
An arrest warrant for Wright became public on Monday after she waived her probable cause hearing in 10th Circuit Court in Seabrook.
Wright was found unconscious at her home when medical personnel arrived, but later told a police officer that she wanted to end her own life and "save" her children.
"I don't want to live. I really love my kids but I wanted to save them from everyone else," Wright told a police officer who responded to her home, according to Lawrence.
A neighbor, Matthew Wooley, told police that Wright's daughter "barged in (the) back door asking if her and her brother can stay here for an hour while (their) mother is sick," Lawrence said in a sworn affidavit.
The girl told Wooley that her mother was "taking medicine" and made her and her brother ingest the medicine too, police said.
"I called the police when my wife and I smelled bleach, and the girl admitted her eyes burned (because her) mother made them take bleach," Wooley told police.
Medical personnel found Wright unconscious, but she later regained consciousness while at the home and proclaimed she wanted to end her own life.
Police Sergeant David Buccheri, who also responded to the home, said that "it was his initial assessment, that Wendy Wright's intention was to take her own life as well as her two small children that were present," Lawrence said.
Public defenders agreed to waive the probable cause hearing on Monday, but suggested in court documents that they could ask a judge to amend the conditions of Wright's bail at a future hearing in superior court.
Public defender Anthony Naro said at Wright's arraignment that his client was suffering from untreated or undiagnosed mental illness.
Wright underwent mental health treatment at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center for three weeks after police were called to her home, according to Naro.
Wright is being held on $200,000 cash bail at the Rockingham County jail. Her case now heads to Rockingham County Superior Court where a grand jury could return indictments against her.

John Abdalla walked up to Irene Dauphin, a newcomer at work, and said he would give her a golf lesson at lunch. "The next day we went out at lunch," to Stanley Park in Hartford, John says.
With one hour and 10 minutes for a lunch break at Stanley Works in 1951, it was easy to practice golf swings at a nearby park, John says.
"After that first date, she shocked me by saying, 'Would you like to come over to my house on Sunday for dinner?'" he says.
Irene, 19, was seventh in a family of six boys and four girls. John, 25, was seventh and the youngest of his siblings.
After dinner with Irene's family, "It was one day after another," John...

OMG !!! that is Great news since the Movie was ruined by M.Night Shamalan..... can't wait to see Aang and Katara I hope 2 c some of the old characters.... Of all the animated series I FOUND AVATAR to Have a beautiful message...... Ohhhhhh WOW!!!
We finally made it to The Spirit King Daiyo Palace! No quarter to the Quicies!
I didn't know about this...
Hi! XD
FYI, iTunes is offering free downloads of episodes 1 & 2:
Yes, that's my real age
Been looking forward to this since the panel at the SDCC last summer! The series airs at 11am on Saturdays and reairs Saturdays at 3pm and Sunday at 11am.
I loved the first hour long episode(s). Starts off with Book 1 air, but can't say for sure if this will be a multi-season show.

I liked her attitude, and they didn't make her all powerful considering she knows three elements but isn't so powerful that she can't be knocked down a peg or two. I was surprised that we were teased by Ang's grand daughter asking Gran Gran Kitara about Fire Lord Zukko's mother, but get interrupted, so who knows if we'll ever find out. I was pretty disappointed, but not surprised that the majority of the original show are dead of old age except for Kitara, also keep in mind how old Kitara seems to be and the fact that Korra is 16 years old, so Ang was gone for that long. I wonder if we're going to hear or see what happened to the original crew between then and now, especially Sokka.
Living with the Parum of manliness, mennnnn!!
have never seen that quote button raped that many times before {O.o}
but WOOHOO, can't wait for the series to start! ^^
( ◕‿ ◕ )
Already watched episode 1 & 2, and I gotta say, I actually enjoyed it more than the original Avatar.
"Happiness equals reality minus expectations."
excellent art =)
and i like it how they still keep the cartoon-ish faces n all.
im gonna enjoy this so much. and it's gonna be short (about 2 seasons, around 26 episodes?) though
can't go on. (」・ω・)」うー! (/・ωΣ[ 壁 ] にゃ・・・!!
i watched the 1st episode and it was pretty awesome!!! can't wait for the next one!!
first of all avatar isnt an anime, it is a cartoon
second i saw the pre aired episodes and im totally bought, this series will be awesome
Currently single and I love anime
I loved it, especially the new Avatar's attitude.
"I'm the Avatar and you have to deal with it!" basically summed up her whole personality and she not only was this her first line of the series, but she said this when she was only a child!
I'm the best in the world at being me;why would I give up such a great position?
"Anime" is simply the shortened, colloquial word for animation in japanese. The word itself does not have to do with the region in which it was made. Many japanese animation studios have actually outsourced their animating work which means that, if you correlate the word "anime" to mean animations made in japan, then maybe you need to call animations that you formerly thought of a "anime," a different name. If a non-japanese animation where to be shown in Japan, the japanese would still call it "anime."
Stop trying to make a distinction between anime and non-anime/cartoon, cause at the moment, the word "anime" is still too ambiguous to actually have a set distinction.
Free your mind!
Dude, that lass got swag!!!
My only apprehension is that Korra is pretty much set. It's difficult to create "'strong' character", in the storytelling sense, if that character doesn't need to go through a lot of hardships with the reader or audience to develop his or herself.
Characters like "Naruto," "Harry Potter" and "Aang" are characters that make an good impression cause the audience or reader goes through a lot of trouble with them and these characters "grow" within the audience or readers's imagination.
This is my only concern with this animation. I have a feeling that I wouldn't like it as much because of this, which sucks because I really like Korra, her look, personality and all, it's just a shame that she had to be so strong right at the beginning.
Free your mind!
Already watched the first 2 episodes, it's fantastic!
I watched the first episode last night. I am so out of the loop, I didn't even know about this until two days ago. Some fan I am.
The show seems very strong in the beginning. Korra is a little hot-headed, but she is a much stronger character than most people see in animated shows, whether or not they are made in Japan or America. The supporting cast steals the spotlight enough times to make an impression without overpowering everything else. The animation is beautiful. The sets are awe-inspiring and the movements are very fluid and realistic.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
The civil unrest and us-vs.-them attitude creates a very strong foundation for one very well thought out storyline. As long as they have the same writers as the old series, I can see this show having a strong following like the previous Avatar
By the way, did anyone else catch the fact that Aang's son has the same name as the Dalai Lama? Just pointing that out.
Time to move on. Start with a to-do list and go from there.

Ian Clark's Corner Kicks: Hanover boys are on a roll
October 24. 2013 12:13AM
A STRONG crew of seniors has placed the Hanover boys' soccer team in solid position heading into the playoffs.
The Marauders have locked up the top seed in Division I with a record of 14-0-1 entering today's regular season finale at home against Bishop Guertin of Nashua.Hanover, which is ranked No. 5 in the region in the latest National Coaches Poll, boasts nine seniors.
'My seniors are really providing all kinds of leadership and the three that grab your attention are the three up top: Dan Hazlett, Rocco Linehan and Xavier Tchana,' said Rob Grabill, now in his eighth season as head coach.Hazlett leads the team with 14 goals and five assists. Linehan has 10 goals and eight assists and Tchana has 12 goals and five assists.
'It really is a three-pronged attack. They work very well with each other and they play for each other,' Grabill said. 'There is no sense that one is the alpha dog and needs to get fed. There's not much ego involved. Because of the way they train and practice, they lift everyone else on the team. We're enjoying them while we have.'Most teams would love to have one go-to player up front. Good luck stopping three of them if you're the Hanover opposition.
'You can't close down any one guy,' Grabill said. 'They also move very freely in the attacking zone. They have a good sense of when and how to do this.'Another senior, goalkepper Alex Bynum, has 10 shutouts for the season.
The runner-up a season ago after losing to Manchester Central in the finals, Hanover has been tested over the past week. Concord earned a 0-0 draw with Hanover and Exeter pushed the Marauders to the limit in a 1-0 Hanover win.Grabill wouldn't have it any other way.
'It's perfect. It's just what the doctor ordered to play two of the top five teams back-to-back right before the playoffs,' Grabill said. 'We emerged relatively unscathed.'Central has secured the No. 2 seed, meaning the Little Green and Hanover would not meet until the finals. Hanover won a 2-0 game early in the season, but since then, Central (13-2) has won 13 straight.
'We're not heartbroken that we're in a different half of the bracket than Central. I can promise you that they do not fear us,' Grabill said. 'We beat them in the regular season last year and it didn't do us much good in the playoffs.'
The Division I playoffs open a week from today. Top five boys' teams: No. 1 Hanover. No. 2 Manchester Central (13-2). No. 3 Alvirne (12-2). No. 4 Windham (14-1 to lead Division II). No. 5 Tie: Concord (11-2-2) and Hopkinton (14-0-1 to lead Division III). How fun would it be to see these neighboring teams meet?
Honorable mentions: Hollis/Brookline (13-2 in Division II), Bow (14-1-1 in Division III), Woodsville (13-1-1 to lead Division IV). Top five girls' teams: No. 1 Exeter (15-0 and ranked No. 1 in the nation). No. 2 Windham (14-0-2 to lead DII). No. 3 Portsmouth (14-1 in DII). No. 4 Pinkerton (13-2-1). No. 5 Bow (15-0 to lead Division III).
Honorable mentions: Woodsville (13-0-1 in Division IV), Derryfield (13-1-0 in Division IV), Bedford (11-2-2).

PARIS (AP) — A French court on Thursday ordered the liquidation of the text service of the Sipa news agency and placed its photo service in bankruptcy protection.
Sipa announced the decision by the Paris commercial court. It came after Sipa's owners, Germany-based dapd Media Holding, declared bankruptcy for some of its subsidiaries in Germany in October and stopped financing Sipa's operations.
The French court ordered the liquidation of the two companies that made up the Sipa text service, created after dapd bought the French-language service of The Associated Press this year. The Sipa text operation employs 50 staff journalists and about a dozen stringers.
A bankruptcy administrator will be assigned to the Sipa photo service, called Sipa Press, to try to find new investors.
Sipa Press was created in 1973 by photojournalist Goksin Sipahioglu, and now distributes thousands of photos a day in more than 40 countries. It is France's No. 2 photo agency after Agence France-Presse.
By expanding its activities to include the text service, Sipa had aspired to compete with AFP, the government-subsidized French news agency.
Sipa and the AP remain partners for the distribution of AP photos in France.

After guiding Stoke City back into the top flight of English Football and keeping them there for five consecutive seasons, Tony Pulis has left the club by mutual consent following talks with chairman Peter Coates on Tuesday.
The 55-year-old Welshman, who was in charge at the Britannia Stadium for a second spell after being reappointed in 2006, met with the chairman on Tuesday and it was then revealed that they had parted ways.
"Stoke City and Tony Pulis confirm that they have mutually agreed that Tony will leave the club with immediate effect." said a statement released by the club following the meeting between the two parties.
Despite having guided the Potters into the Premier League and, more importantly, kept them there with a string of mid-table finishes, some sections of the crowd at the Britannia had been calling for a change after seeing a good start to the season slip into what saw them briefly dragged into a battle against relegation.
Despite sealing another season in the Premier League with a final finish of 13th, as well as leading them into Europe and an FA Cup final in 2011, it seems the fans calling for a change to proceedings have got their way.
Stoke have become well known throughout the Premier League for their physical approach to the game, although this seems certain to change now following the departure of Pulis. Stoke have gained a reputation of being hard to play against, especially at home, where the home fans can turn the Britannia into one of the loudest stadiums in the country when in full voice.
But for Pulis, the end of the line has come. Despite his success with the club and his achievement of keeping the Potters in the Premier League since their arrival back in the 2008/09 season, his style of play has grown tiresome to the faithful at the Britannia. And having voiced their opinions over the last few months, it seems the fans will be getting the change they have been shouting for.
Who will replace Pulis is the next question - and with a huge managerial merry-go-round happening in the Premier League at the moment, they should have no shortage of candidates for the post.

AUBURN, AL (WSFA) - Alright Alabama fans, you've endured the rumors for years that Nick Saban was a banana peel away from splitting for his next big challenge. Sit back. It's apparently Auburn's turn.
Speculation is heating up that Auburn's Gus Malzahn, in just his first year as a head coach on the Plains and only his second year as a head coach, will take 'The Gus Bus' on a trip to a new team out west.
Sports Illustrated's Pete Thamel says in a new article that a source tells him Malzahn has privately told friends that he would like the top job at Texas. Thamel's thoughts on the matter are spelled out in his article's headline: "If Texas calls, Gus Malzahn should jump ship to leave Auburn".
While speculation about Saban leaving Alabama has focused on him needing a new challenge, speculation of Malzahn's leaving is a bit different.
As Thamel sees it, Malzahn should "bolt" because "History tells us that Auburn coaches - no matter how successful - don't have long and stable professional careers."
Read the article HERE
When asked about the report, Malzahn said "I'm tickled to death to be at Auburn."
Athletic Director Jay Jacobs has said he will discuss a new contract with Malzahn at the end of the season.
Malzahn, who currently makes $2.3 million, is one of the lowest paid coaches in the SEC.
To date, Saban is still at Alabama, Mack Brown is still at Texas and Gus Malzahn is preparing to take his 11-1, No. 3 ranked Tigers to the SEC Championship game in Atlanta in hopes of riding it to the BCS National Championship game in Pasadena.
