according to new analysis of the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data by the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA).
ARTBA's monthly report, "Value of Transportation Construction Put in Place," was compiled by Dr. Alison Premo Black, the association's chief economist. Black notes that while this represents a one percent increase over the $116-billion committed in 2011, real transportation construction activity fell well short of its 2010 peak, when $129-billion worth of construction work was "put in place" during the year, in large part because of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. However, rail-related funding was found to be up.
Black's analysis found that subway and light rail was up 16.7 percent to $6.6 billion, compared to $5.7 billion in 2011. Virtually all year, construction spending on transit projects exceeded the 2011 pace, including a 21 percent increase in December.
Railroad investment was up 7.3 percent to $10.3 billion, compared to $9.6 billion in 201. Black says private rail is benefiting from the growth of freight shipments, which generates a need for more maintenance.
Port investment was up 10 percent to $1.6 billion, compared to $1.5 billion in 2011.
ARTBA's analysis found that transportation construction activity accounted for 13.8 percent of all U.S. construction work put in place, down from 14.6 percent during 2011 and 15 percent in 2010. | http://www.rtands.com/index.php/freight/class-1/artba-analysis-shows-states-invested-in-rail-related-projects-in-2012.html?channel=41 | 2013-05-18T11:02:34 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
According to Kevin Keith, MoDOT Chief Engineer, this is the first of the public and private cooperative efforts in improving rail infrastructure. The state designated $5 million for the work, drawing more than $3 million more in federal funds for the project.
The project is one of the results of a planned study by Dr. James Noble and Charles Nemmers, P.E., of the University of Missouri-Columbia. Looking at initial rail bottlenecks and the value of improving efficiency, the study recommended side tracks. | http://www.rtands.com/index.php/news/new-up-siding-under-construction-in-missouri.html?channel= | 2013-05-18T11:03:16 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
The British government has ruled out an inquiry into the killing of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane and has instead proposed that a QC undertake a review of the case.
Mr Finucane's family, who met British Prime Minister David Cameron this afternoon to discuss the possibility of an inquiry, said they are "extremely disappointed and angry" at having being "lured to Downing Street under false pretences".
UDA gunmen shot dead Mr Finucane at his home in February 1989 and there have been persistent concerns about security force collusion with the killers.
The Finucane family said the reasons put forward by the British Government as to why an inquiry would not be held were that of cost, the length of time it would take and that other such inquiries had not worked.
The Finucane family called a halt to today's meeting after about 30 minutes.
They said that the review being proposed will effectively be "a paper review" that will not allow for witnesses to be called or for cross-examination to take place.
Retired Canadian judge Peter Cory was previously appointed by the British and Irish governments to examine allegations of collusion surrounding the Finucane and other controversial killings.
He recommended a public inquiry into Mr Finucane's death, as well as inquiries into the murders of Portadown Catholic Robert Hamill, solicitor Rosemary Nelson and Loyalist Volunteer Force leader Billy Wright.
The three other inquiries have already been held.
Loyalist informer Ken Barrett, 41, was sentenced at Belfast Crown Court to life for Mr Finucane's murder, after admitting his part in the killing. He was subsequently released in May 2006 under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement.
Meanwhile, Taoiseach Enda Kenny has told Mr Cameron that any proposed inquiry into the killing of Mr Finucane will not satisfy the Government, if it does not satisfy the Finucane family.
Mr Kenny had a phone conversation with Mr Cameron this morning and indicated to him that the Dáil had backed calls for a full inquiry.
He told Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams that "there is no price that can be put on truth".
Mr Kenny said Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore would be in contact with Mrs Geraldine Finucane to invite her to Dublin to discuss the outcome of the meeting with Mr Cameron.
Mr Adams urged the Government to "press very hard" on the issue, which he said the British were trying to long finger. | http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/1011/307218-finucanep/ | 2013-05-18T10:24:14 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The collection's visual dialogue began while viewing bronze sculptures of Henry Moore set against the backdrop of English estates. This poetic co-inhabitance of formality and modernism struck a cord which resonated deep within both of us. Whether it be the merging of like textiles in different scales in one garment, the exploration of painterly verses digital plaids, or the black and bronze metallic leathers tailored in to Neo-Victorian shapes, the collection follows the journey of the modern woman's need for both warmth and familiarity as well as cool, razor- sharp tailoring. | http://www.ruffian.com/index.php?page=dynamic&ContentID=25&storeid=25&store25=jnr4rjiquikv4gva87l1s6hp23 | 2013-05-18T10:13:27 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
A great size range, including back size 30, and cups above GG, but no web page.(!) Initially, we will only carry the "Body Beautiful" which offers tremendous value for money. Bras are normally $38. AND - We finally have some great photos! Our model used to wear a 34DD. Now she wears a 30FF, and loves it.
Freya is an English brand that like Warner's UK also offers a wide size range and excellent quality for the money. And they have a website. Yippee skippee! We will definitely carry Rio and possibly Pure. About $45. <Freya's webpage>

Famous Numbers
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Miracle on 24th Street, Five Easy Pieces, Three Colours Blue, Fahrenheit 541, The Seventh Seal, Ocean’s Eleven, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Ten Commandments, Apollo 13! And add on to that the creepy Jim Carey Movie “Number 23″ and one can gather that a lot or people go nuts about numbers. Above all Hollywood. Welcome to “Number City” and numerology!
Superstitious Numbers
We all know numbers are an important part of our lives. We might worry more about numbers when we hit 50, they can only go up faster after that! Seriously, numbers play on our sensitivity. For example, the numbers 666 make us cringe a little, rumours of the Antichrist and 999 do not cheer us up one bit either. But number 99 has been used in a popular Chinese-American supermarket chain called “99 Ranch Market”, so not everyone dreads a double or treble nine. Some people dislike Number 13 so much so that certain houses are built without a 13th floor! Phobias may be, but 13 is also the number of the Tarot pack Death card. Perhaps fear of numbers has to do with those ancient civilisations and the power their mythology still has over us. Look at the whole Maya 2012 “world ending theory”, yet some might say 2012 is “just a number”. Lucky numbers which can be useful by the way are 888, which means “wealthy, wealthy, wealthy” Writing that on your front door might help a windfall to drop in your lap!
The Early Days
Numerology has also a lot to do with Babylonia, Pythagoras, early Christian mysticism, the Kabbalah, the Indian Vedas and the Chinese “Circle of the Dead”. There are three basic systems that a numerologist will possibly access during a numerology reading called the Pythagorean, Chinese Numerology, and Chaldean systems. A numerology reading works on the basis that every number has characteristics that influence an individual’s life path or destiny. A numerology reading will be based on your prime number and how it splits off into variants via your date of birth and the letters of your name. Subsequently, all these facts will be thrown into the “Computation Cauldron” to come up with that fu numerology reading. Sometimes a numerology reading will take into consideration mystical numerical patterns written within the enigmatic Ancient Torah. As a result a numerology reading could detect deep inner soul motivations and karmic tendencies.
A numerology reading helps us decipher the core of our existence, guiding us with the help of numbers. According to metaphysical concepts, numbers also have an eternal frequency significant permeating with great meaning and possibility, rather like planetary combos in astrology. Mathematical physicists like James G Gilson would not balk at a numerology reading in our book, especially since he created a “Quantum Theory of Gravity” system based on a numerological hypothesis. And in his 1997 book Numerology: Or What Pythagoras Wrought, Underwood Dudley, a well thought of mathematician, uses a numerological technique to analyse the stock market.
A numerology reading could also be useful when we are looking into winning competitions. Bingo, roulette and lottery players often use number strategies that claim to win prizes. Lucky numbers come into this; most folks have personal ones that an experienced numerologist can identify.
So one, two, three, four, gather your numbers together and investigate the magic of your personal numerological reading. The mystery of how numbers relate to you and describe the inner workings of your soul might astound you! | http://www.russellgrant.com/site/numerology-readings | 2013-05-18T10:21:50 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Size matters or all good things come in little packages? Not the biggest ewe but one of our favourites; Cagedale X13 (b2000, sire Keepings Savvas) She has over the last 4 consecutive years given birth to 4 single ewe lambs each bigger than her (although this years lamb isn't quite there yet!). 2 have been show sheep and all now form part of our breeding flock. They are pictured below to let you make up your own mind.

Video: SUHRT gets a Maptun upgrade
This one came as a pleasant surprise in my inbox today.
Jorgen from the Saabs United Historic Rally Team called in to Maptun and got a little work done to his summer car. Just like my mate John here in Hobart, he’s had his car tuned with the new Maptuner portable tuning device.
Cue the videos:

The special discount offer they were talking about is fully outlined here.
Short and sweet: Maptun are offering a 15% discount on all software upgrades and free shipping on your entire purchase (not just the software).
To claim the discount:
Head over to the Maptun website and check out the right tuning guide for your car. When you place an order, include the promotion code SU2010 in the order form. Your discount will be applied to the tuning software component of your order and your order will be placed.
The offer closes at the end of this month, so get in quick.

Note: I’m told there have been some difficulties processing some credit card orders. This was due to a setting on Maptun’s electronic processing system (it was set up as a fraud protection). That setting has been adjusted and those credit card transactions should now go through OK. | http://www.saabsunited.com/2010/05/video-suhrt-gets-a-maptun-upgrade.html | 2013-05-18T10:32:08 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Re "Both VP candidates took some liberties with truth" (Page A8, Oct. 12): The Fact Check by McClatchy Newspapers echoes the Obama campaign claim that the $716 billion taken from the Medicare program wouldn't affect services for seniors. How can you say with a straight face that lower payments to Medicare Advantage Plans wouldn't immediately affect the roughly one quarter all of the seniors belonging to those plans? Either their premiums will have to increase or their benefits will be cut. There is no tooth fairy. And if affluent people are forced to pay a higher Medicare premium, how does this not affect seniors? -- Herbert Willstatter,. | http://www.sacbee.com/2012/10/12/4907395/716-billion-tken-from-medicare.html | 2013-05-18T10:54:38 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
It’s officially boot season friends. With the cooler weather I can’t seem to wear anything else, which got me thinking about what’s out there this season that I might want to add to my closet. One can never have enough boots, right?
1. Robbie midheel booties.
4. Dicker suede ankle boots.
Love, love, LOVE number one. What a great find!

That third pair of booties is amazing! I love the shape and how they are business in the from and a printed party in the back!
Noooooo! Want! Madewell really needs to open in London
I love 1 & 2! Both perfect for San Francisco… | http://www.sacramentostreet.com/2012/09/four-favorites-21/ | 2013-05-18T10:53:37 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Chapter IV.—The Letter of Arius to Eusebius, Bishop of Nicomedia
“To his very dear lord, the man of God, the faithful and orthodox Eusebius, Arius, unjustly persecuted by Alexander the Pope 320 , 321 Cæs 322 . And this we say, because He is neither part of God, nor of any essential being 323 . For this are we persecuted; the rest you know. I bid thee farewell in the Lord, remembering our afflictions, my fellow-Lucianist 324 , and true Eusebius 325 .”
Of those whose names are mentioned in this letter, Eusebius was bishop of Cæsarea 326 , Theop. 42 dot 327 of the Tyrians, in the following words.
On the name “Pope,” vide Dict. Christ. Ant., s.v. 1st, it was applied to the teachers of converts,.41:321
πάντα κάλων κινεῖ. Cf. Luc. Scyth. ii. The common proverb was πάντα ἐξιέναι κάλων, to let out every reef. Ar. Eq. 756 Eur. Med. 278, &c.41:322
ἐξ οὐκ ὄντων ἔστιν41:323
ἐξ ὑποκειμένου τινός. Aristotle, Metaph. vi. 3, 1, defines τὸ ὑποκείμενον as that καθ᾽ οὗ τὰ ἄλλα λέγεται.…μάλιοτα δὲ δοκεῖ εἶναι οὐσία τὸ ὑποκείμενον πρῶτον41:324
Arius and Eusebius had been fellow disciples of Lucianus the Priest of Antioch martyred under Maximinus in a.d. 311 or 312. Vide note on page 38.41:325
Arius plays on the name Eusebius, εὐσεβής, pious.41:326
From the phrase “ὁ ἀδελφός σου ὁ ἐν Καισαρεί& 139·,” it has been inferred by some that the two Eusebii were actually brothers. Eusebius of Nicomedia, in the letter of Chapter V., calls the Palestinian δεσπότης; Phry Cæsarea).
Athanasius, bishop of Anazarbus, an important town of Cilicia Campestris, isians friend, who survived till a.d. 367 (Phil. H.E. ix. 6).
Philogonius was raised to the episcopate per saltum, like St. Ambrose (Chrysost. Orat. 71, tom. v. p. 507), he preceded the Arian Paulinus.
Hellanicus was present at Nicæa, but was driven from the See of Tripolis, in Phœnicia, by the Arians (Athan. Hist. Ar. ad Mon. §5).
Macarius is praised by Athanasius (Orat. I. adv. Arian. p. 291). On a possible “passage of arms” between him and Eusebius of Cæsarea at Nicæa, vide Stanley, Eastern Church, Lect. V. Cf. post, cap. xvii.42:327

Narrated 'Amr:I heard Abu Ash-sha'tha' Jabir saying, "I heard Ibn Abbas saying, 'I offered with Allah's Apostle eight Rakat (of Zuhr and 'Asr prayers) together and seven Rakat (the Maghrib and the 'Isha' prayers) together.' " I said, "O Abu Ash-shatha! I think he must have prayed the Zuhr late and the 'Asr early; the 'Isha early and the Maghrib late." Abu Ash-sha'tha' said, "I also think so."

The Holy Quran, tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934], at sacred-texts.com
35. Waqala allatheena ashrakoo law shaa Allahu ma AAabadna min doonihi min shay-in nahnu wala abaona wala harramna min doonihi min shay-in kathalika faAAala allatheena min qablihim fahal AAala alrrusuli illa albalaghu almubeenu
35. The worshippers of false gods
Say: "If God had so willed,
We should not have worshipped
Aught but Him—neither we
Nor our fathers,—nor should
We have prescribed prohibitions
Other than His." So did those
Who went before them.
But what is the mission
Of apostles but to preach
The Clear Message?
36. Walaqad baAAathna fee kulli ommatin rasoolan ani oAAbudoo Allaha waijtaniboo alttaghoota faminhum man hada Allahu waminhum man haqqat AAalayhi alddalalatu faseeroo fee al-ardi faonthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu almukaththibeena. In tahris AAala hudahum fa-inna Allaha la yahdee man yudillu wama lahum min nasireena
37. If thou art anxious
For their guidance, yet
God guideth not such
As He leaves to stray,
And there is none
To help them.
38.
38. They swear their strongest oaths
By God, that God will not
Raise up those who die
Nay, but it is a promise
(Binding) on Him in truth:
But most among mankind
Realise it not.
39. Liyubayyina lahumu allathee yakhtalifoona feehi waliyaAAlama allatheena kafaroo annahum kanoo kathibeena
39. (They must be raised up),
In order that He may manifest
To them the truth of that
Wherein they differ, and that
The rejecters of Truth
May realise that they had
Indeed (surrendered to)
Falsehood.
40. Innama qawluna lishay-in itha aradnahu an naqoola lahu kun fayakoonu
40. For to anything which We
Have willed, We but say
The Word, "Be ", and it is. | http://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/quran/01605.htm | 2013-05-18T10:43:05 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

'The Mystery of Edwin Drood' is the fifteenth novel by Charles Dickens. During October of 1869, at Gad's Hill Place, Dickens began work on the novel and in April of 1870 publication of Drood commenced. On June the eighth Dickens spent the day working on the novel and after a long and exhausting day he retired to seek some well deserved rest. That evening during dinner he collapsed. June the ninth, 1870 only halfway through 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood', Dickens died. And now members of the Theatre Royale Music Hall Company pick up where the unfortunate writer left off. Set against a back drop of the Great British traditions of music hall and pantomime they will attempt to complete the story of Edwin Drood for the delectation of you, the audience!

The combination of natural elements and man-made materials has long fascinated sculptors. John Van Alstine carries the union to a new plane and creates an aesthetically stunning marriage of stone and metal. Centuries-old stone united with contemporary metals meld into an innovative perceptual schema that is unique to Van Alstine. Seemingly precarious in their placement, they are in fact well rooted. What look like spontaneous optical effects are structured perceptual statements that create an ambiguous illusion. Curated by Ruth Hall Daly.

How Accurate are the Fabric Swatch Colors
The Heavenly Buckwheat Bean is a simple kidney bean shaped cushion filled with buckwheat hulls. This unique shape provides wonderfully grounding support and the central cutout allows the heels to rest naturally close to the body. Its low lift of 3 inches provides just the right amount of lift for those who prefer a little cushioning without being raised up too high. A zippered opening allows for removing and re-adding the hulls to achieve the perfect level of comfort.
This cushion comes with a cover that can be removed for washing. The buckwheat hulls are enclosed in an inner linen pouch where a zipper allows access to the hulls. The cover also has a handle sewn into it to make it easy to carry the cushion. | http://www.sagemeditation.com/index2.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage-ask.tpl&product_id=24&category_id=6&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2 | 2013-05-18T10:31:39 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
SAGU Hoopsters: Going to Kansas City
NAIA Championship in sight for no. 6 Lions
Team departs from Waxahachie Monday morning
WAXAHACHIE, Texas -- It was 1959 when Wilbert Harrison sang a pop classic about "Going to Kansas City." His reason for his destination wasn't basketball, but he was bent on getting there!
Monday morning, March 11, the men's basketball team from Southwestern Assemblies of God University will make their second trip to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Championship tournament in Kansas City, Missouri.
This is the first after securing an automatic berth after winning the Red River Athletic Conference. In 2006 the Lions made the trip after advancing to the RRAC tournament and were the #32 seed.
It got them an opening round date with the defending national champion, Mountain State University (27-3).
The Cougars topped the Lions, 84-64, despite Darius Howard and Julio Osorio both scoring 20 points.
Fans will enjoy a continental breakfast in the Sheaffer Center at 7:30am (Monday, March 11) prior to a special Send-Off and Prayer at 8:00am.
Terry Phipps and Jesse Godding will lead the ceremony for the team and fans. Phipps is the Vice President for Student
Services; Godding is SAGU's Athletic Director.
Ellis County Sherriffs will escort the team bus out of town and onto northbound I-35.
The Lions will arrive Monday evening after completing the 585-mile trip. All 32-teams will play their first round game on either Wednesday or Thursday.
SAGU (29-4) is scheduled to face the University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma (17-9) at 9:00am at the 10,100 seat Municipal Auditorium.
Only one team in the NAIA has won more games than the Lions' 29; no. 1 ranked Columbia College (Mo) (33-0). SAGU played the Cougars two years ago in the Sheaffer Center, falling 76-62.
Joining the Lions in KC will be the men's teams from no. 20 ranked University of St. Thomas and no. 25 LSU-Shreveport.
LSUS (24-6) plays no. 8 University of Pikeville (Ky) (26-6) Wednesday night at 8:45pm, while UST (28-5) tangles with no. 13 Georgestown College (Ky) (23-8) on Thursday at 9:00am.
Fans can view the game via livestream (for a fee) or follow a digital version of the game's play-by-play, called a LiveStats webcast. For information on accessing the game or for purchasing tickets, visit
Second year Head Coach Donnie Bostwick and the coaching staff led the team through preparations for the tournament this past week.
One practice concluded a fun free throw competition that ended with Team Chaplain David Leatherberry settling the outcome with a pressure-packed foul shout. He was immediately surrounded by cheering players, who have grown attached to his active role with the team.
Another drill saw every player involved in a timed halfcourt shooting contest. The results were not made public, but its safe to say the team better not need one in KC.
Should SAGU get past the USAO "Drovers" on Wednesday, they'll play on Friday, also at 9:00am, against the winner between no. 11 ranked Westmont College (Cal) (25-7) and Martin Methodist College (Tenn) (20-10).
Two wins would move the Lions to Saturday's quarterfinals at 2:00pm.
The first 28 games (through the quarterfinals) will be video-streamed (see the link below) by NeuLion on. The semifinal round will air on ESPN3, while the championship final will be televised live nationally on CBS Sports Network.
SAGU will provide coverage beginning Monday night with multiple articles daily posted at. A preview of the game will be posted on Tuesday night.

About Political Hangman and How to Play the Game
MP Hangman was launched in 2004 to make British politics and the whole political system vaguely interesting for the apathetic masses. Since then it has received up to around 10,000 views a week making it the most popular political hangman game that we are aware of in the whole world! That's a pretty good claim to fame until you realise it might be the only political hangman game out there, but still - if you like politics and games then you should enjoy this hangman game. Note that the MPs in this game contains a range of MPs past and present (last update 2010 including the new Prime Minister David Cameron).
The rules of the hangman game are simple: click letters above to reveal individual letters in the name of the Member of Parliament chosen at random by the system. Complete the name of the Member of Parliament / politicians before the hangman and you win, otherwise... you lose!
You can also play Hangman with Pictures!

Not sure what I posted last but we managed to repair both rudders with only two nights in dry dock. Then back to Panama City for two nights. Filled with fuel and left this morning for the Las Perlas islands where we are now anchored. We must have made over a hundred course corrections during the 50 some mile trip. Logs were everywhere along with tires, plastic, 55 gallon drums and just about everything you could imagine. We had one person at the helm and three on bow watch the entire day. The idea is to exit the center of the Gulf of Panama this time hoping to encounter less logs but so far it's not panning out as planned. We did manage to speak with three other boats that have had a hard time in Panama. One catamaran hit a buoy while traversing the canal causing extensive fiberglass damage as well as needing to ship a new aluminum cross beam in. They expect another month of delay. Another boat got about as far as us and caught a rope in their prop breaking the engine mount and also blew out their mainsail. That happened on Friday the 13th as well. They are still waiting on parts and repair of the sail. Another boat is waiting on a head gasket from the states and is still waiting. He went though the canal 2 days before us. So when we compare, losing just over a week was not to bad. So tomorrow we will get an early start and decide by sundown what to do that night, proceed at 2 knots, lay to a sea anchor?

CIAA Tournament: Livingstone advances to final
CHARLOTTE — Save the last dance for James Stinson and the anything-is-possible Livingstone men’s basketball team.
The CIAA’s Coach of the Year has the Blue Bears positioned to win the school’s first conference tournament championship tonight after Friday’s 68-53 semifinal win against Elizabeth City State.
“I feel good with this group, but we still have to play the game,” Stinson deadpanned at Time Warner Cable Arena, where 24th-ranked Livingstone (22-5) won its eighth straight game and earned a berth in tonight’s final against (either Bowie State or Winston-Salem State). “No matter who it is, we have to match up and execute healthy basketball.”
One night after filling the hoop with thunder in a 95-70 quarterfinal win over St. Augustine’s, LC shot 41 percent from the field and converted just two of 11 3-point attempts. But the Blue Bears continue to bring out the worst in opponents — and ECSU (17-11) took its place in the back of the line.
“I’ve been here 18 years and that might have been the worst first half I’ve ever seen,” losing coach Shawn Walker said. “Maybe the stage was too big for us, but it was just not a good night for the Vikings.”
He’s not kidding. Though both teams were arctic cold from the field in the early going, Elizabeth City never warmed up. It misfired on its first eight and 18 of its first 19 shots from the floor, falling behind 13-0 when senior Tyler Johnson stuck a foul-line jumper. The game took more than two hours to complete, but the Vikings were cooked after eight minutes in Livingstone’s oven.
“The biggest thing for us was team defense,” 6-foot-8 Ethan Anderson said after contributing 11 points and 10 rebounds. “Our individual strength is backed by the rest of the team. We always had confidence a teammate would be there to help.”
That strategy worked against ECSU’s 6-4 senior Angelo Sharpless — the CIAA’s second-leading scorer and Player of the Year. A slice-and-dice forward who averaged 20.5 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, Sharpless was held pointless until he sank a pair of free throws with 11:38 remaining in the first half. He made his first basket with 6:15 to go.
“He’s the best player in this conference,” Anderson said. “There’s not a lot you can do. He always gets his.”
So did Livingstone guards Mark Thomas and Jody Hill. Thomas had 13 points, eight assists and five steals despite a subpar shooting performance. He nonetheless directed LC’s offense like he was conducting the Boston Pops orchestra.
“Our execution got a little better after we calmed down,” he said with a grin. “They were missing shots and we were converting on the transition.”
Hill, a junior who wasn’t invited to the post-game press conference despite being named the game’s MVP, shot 3-for-10 from the floor but had 13 points. He made the night’s most exciting play late in the first half when he stole the ball from ECSU’s Blake Price near midcourt and raced in for a whirley-bird dunk, providing a 32-15 lead.
“Jody’s made a conscious effort to come off the bench and give us a spark,” Stinson said. “He did a tremendous job of getting in the passing lane. He was able to get a hand on it and once he gets out, he has such long arms he can finish around the rim.”
Livingstone maintained a 20-point edge for most of the game’s remainder. Anderson scored all of his points early in the second half. The Blue Bears widest margin came when Eladio Espinosa made a free throw with 13:33 to play.
“This was really just another game for us,” Thomas said nonchalantly. “We still need to win one more.”
•NOTES: A victory in tonight’s 8:30 finale would give Livingstone its first championship . It reached the title game in 2011 but fell to Shaw.

Dancers, minus Alex Wong, mix things up on “SYTYCD”
A potentially devastating injury sidelines the front-runner, and everyone else tries their best
Topics: So You Think You Can Dance, Television, Entertainment News
Jesus.
I was so anticipating Alex Wong’s performances Wednesday night after seeing him kill it last week with Twitch — then my stomach dropped. He wasn’t in the show opener, and I know what that means on “So You Think You Can Dance.” It means an injury. To hear from Nigel that it might not be just a torn muscle, or a sprain, which dancers of Alex’s caliber dance through every day, but that it could be a ruptered Achilles’ … well, I almost stopped watching and called in sick for today. The rules state that if Alex can’t perform for two weeks he’ll be eliminated, and while it’s fair, in this case it would be a f#*king travesty. He’s the best dancer on the stage, and I think anyone who wins in his stead will know in his or her soul that the victory is tainted. And that’s not fair. Everyone should be crossing their fingers and their toes and their eyes that he can rub some dirt on it and jump back in.
I did watch the rest of the show, though, so let’s focus on what we got, right? Everyone was paired with a new All-Star, and for the first time this season (aside from group numbers) they got to dance with each other, too. That switch-up made for the most memorable moment of the night, when Lauren and Kent fell in love on stage with Travis Wall’s impeccable contemporary routine to guide the way. Can you believe Wall is only 22 years old? Unreal. He gave two 18-year-olds the opportunity to participate in a dream version of their prom night, a fantasy interpretation of that first bittersweet and profound love that we all (hopefully) experience. And they lived in it. For all Lauren’s jokes about tweens being mad at her for dancing with him, she was the pitch-perfect cypher for all of that pent-up pheromonal longing. Their kiss at the end was real, their connection was real. I got goose pimples, then I watched it again.
The only other performance I rewound tonight was Ashley’s hip-hop with All-Star Dominic. Their ninja assassin Tabitha and Napoleon piece was 180 degrees from Lauren and Kent’s wistful romanticism, in the best possible way. The choreographers may have seemed concerned about the contemporary dancer’s ability to sully her sweet demeanor, but I’m from the same part of California as Ashley (the San Joaquin Valley, between Stockton and Bakersfield) — no way that girl can’t give a good booty pop. That’s how we do. She had the outer swagger, she had the precise and hard technique, and while Mia thought she didn’t have “kill” in her eyes, I thought every component was right on. And I hardly noticed that I couldn’t see those gams.
Let’s do the rest of the night list-style, because we can.
Adechike: He could be in trouble. Yes, his mojo was off with Alex having to bow out of their Bollywood routine, and last minute adjustments were probably hard to reconcile. The split jumps that injured Mr. Wong in rehearsals were lovely when Adechike did them, but it wasn’t enough to make up for his lack of crispness and his inability to wipe the thinking off his face. Don’t even get me started on the Mandy Moore jazz routine in which he managed to let a set piece out-charm him. The bar did more dancing, and that’s not entirely his fault. Mandy! (Imagine a megaphone to my mouth) Give the boys actual steps to execute! They’re not actors!
Jose: So, so, so much better this week. Even the derided African jazz piece with Billy was an improvement over previous efforts, although the judges’ dislike of him as the hunter led to the first real critique of Jose that I’ve heard. He’s not in danger of going home, so he can take the hit. The b-boy’s contemporary with All-Star Lauren was sensual, and even though he looked like every other street dancer doing something more lyrical (which is to say: stiff, a bit lumbering, and overwhelmed) he proved to me that he is improving, not just coasting.
Billy: I’ve never seen the musical “Cats,” and now I don’t want to. “Macavity” was a wicked irritating piece of music, despite the devilish fun of Billy’s cat burglar Broadway number. I’ll just read the original T.S Eliot poem. Choreographer Spencer Leff gave our little imp the perfect ingredients to show the judges why his relative unmanliness shouldn’t matter. Billy isn’t butch. He’ll never be butch. It doesn’t really look like he wants to hump his female partners. So what? The intensity and convolution he brought to his “jaguar” role in the African jazz piece with Jose was unmatched in his earlier performances. His androgyny works for him, and I’ve decided I love it.
Kent: I was a little worried our Boy Wonder wouldn’t pull out all the stops this week, and the contemporary with Lauren proved me profoundly wrong. Before that revelation, though, we got a little Kent-as-Timberlake hip-hop with Comfort, and the best I can say is I wasn’t appalled. It wasn’t Billy krumping. He had a little groove to him, he didn’t pull his face, but when he dances with an accomplished and and mature female, I’m sorry, I see “I’ve never gotten laid” in neon lights over his head. There’s a way the pelvis moves once it’s seen some battle, and his nether regions look like they’re still in JROTC. It’s cute, but it’s not convincing in the slightest.
Robert: Sigh. The chiseled sweetie-pie had great raw material with the Sean Cheeseman jazz dolls-come-to-life piece, and it started out so well, but when he didn’t catch his All-Star (Kathryn) about halfway through it seemed to fall apart. None of the holds were exactly right after that, although they both charged ahead as if he didn’t essentially drop her on her ass on live TV. Maybe it wasn’t as bad as it appeared, to me — but at this stage of the competition there are rarely any technical mistakes, so that one might as well have been lit up like a Christmas tree. And to be cursed with the quickstep, too … Robert might be going home.
Ashley: She got down with her ninja-bad self, showed off her range, and managed to thoroughly impress the judges with both of her performances. Thanks the gods, because I don’t want to see either of the remaining girls go home for at least a few more weeks. Ashley managed to take the “dance of death,” the dreaded quickstep, and make it totally work for her. She looked beautiful and assured doing ballroom, and so few can pull off the fast pace of that dance with that level of grace. Or maybe she got the praise because every other dancer that attempts furious footwork like that is raked across hot coals while being flogged. Figuratively speaking.
Lauren: She gets better and better every time she dances. She seems to be the one contestant who actively absorbs and implements the notes the judges give her, and she is delightful to watch. Love her. Her body’s natural muscle and curve was perfect for her cha cha with Pasha, and her more petite stature meant the vertically-challenged All-Star had no problems partnering her smoothly. Lauren was a sexy, commanding woman in her first routine, and then she turns around and gives us vulnerable yearning with her Kent partnership. Fantastic night for her.
All the other crap: Not only is the Wongmeister down and out, but All-Star Allison suffered a rib injury while dancing with Billy. Get better, lady, because I’ve been captivated by you all season. Continuing her unflagging brutality from last week, Mia reached new heights of bitchtastic on Wednesday, calling Adechike “mediocre,” and “nothing,” and telling him “I really miss Alex right now.” Pull it back a bit, Michaels. At least Cat spoke up for the beleaguered dancer. If either Kent or Lauren have a significant other, they might want to check their text messages to make sure that’s still the case after they danced together. Can someone please, please choreograph some mother-loving turns? I miss the mind-boggling chains of pirouettes. Note to judges: when you find yourself falling down the penis-joke-double-entendre-rabbit-hole, shut up. It stops being funny the moment you draw attention to it. And I still want to make out with Dave Scott (apologies to my husband.)
The judges name-dropped Jerome Robbins when critiquing Billy’s Broadway, so I couldn’t resist posting video of my favorite “West Side Story” number — “America,” with the delectable Rita More | http://www.salon.com/2010/07/08/so_you_think_you_can_dance_week_7_recap_sytycd/ | 2013-05-18T10:42:29 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Jordyn Wieber stunner: “Quite honestly, it’s horrific”
The champion gymnast's shocking finish is a reminder that for every medalist, there are many more losers
Topics: Olympics, 2012 Summer Olympics, Jordyn Wieber, Editor's Picks, Entertainment News
Jordyn Wieber is a controlled crier. At all of 17, wearing a long-sleeved purple leotard and a little too much rouge, her lifelong dream smashed — not because she’d done anything horribly wrong, but because she hadn’t done it perfectly right — the gymnast-that-couldn’t put her hands over her eyes and cried, before accepting a shoulder in which to more discreetly sob. Just a few minutes later she hefted on her backpack — suddenly an extremely poignant, age-appropriate shield — and stared off into the middle distance, listening as the teammate who beat her spoke to a TV crew about the surprising turn of events. Then she went on television herself and, without her voice breaking, describing the outcome as “disappointing.” The NBC commentator was not nearly so dignified, dramatically declaring, “Quite honestly, it’s horrific.”
Someone always has to lose. As much as we can, we make the Olympics about winners: the feel-good athletes who train for years and years, arrive at this ultimate event, and live up to or exceed their potential. These athletes, gold medal winners or unexpected silver stealers, are rewarded with attention, praise, bling and, should they be photogenic and competing in a popular sport, fame and fortune. But these winners are always beating out someone, and last night’s women’s gymnastics qualifying round was a reminder of that. Last night was about the person who trains and trains, arrives at the ultimate event, and doesn’t meet or exceed expectations — a bummer of a story that is also the story of most Olympians.
Wieber is the reigning world champion in the women’s all-around. Going into last night, she and her adorable teammate Gabby Douglas were the co-favorites to win the gold medal in that event. But each national team can only place two athletes in the individual all-around. Wieber’s qualifying score was the fourth-highest in the entire competition, but because it was lower than both Douglas’ and her teammate Aly Raisman’s, Wieber will have to sit it out..
And what was going on was not a catastrophe. Wieber didn’t miss out because she screwed up horribly — she didn’t fall off the beam or drop off the bars — but because of lots of little deductions throughout the completion, and one extremely significant out-of-bounds heel on her floor routine. If Wieber had bit it on the beam, as Alicia Sacramone did at Beijing, maybe she would have been rewarded with a deodorant commercial (Sacramone had one that aired last night). At least she would have avoided the nail-biting final moments, when the 18-year-old Raisman got a high enough score from her floor routine — performed to “Hava Nagila” — to best both Wieber and Douglas (a fact that NBC, so committed to the “Wieber-Douglas go all the way!” story line, barely even noted).
In gymnastics and figure skating, unlike sprinting or swimming, there is one person in the spotlight at a time, and while they are competing against other athletes, they are noticeably competing against themselves and their nerves: Can they hit the jumps and the tricks and the balance elements they have in practice upon practice? Watching Wieber last night I had a kind of flashback to the emotional horror show that was watching figure skater Michelle Kwan try to win a gold. (Though because of the brutalities of Olympic gymnastics, in which 17 is always better than 21, Wieber, unlike Kwan, probably won’t get to try again in four years.) There was the same pressure, disappointment, sadness, stress and stark thanklessness of being the over-dog, the person who can never exceed expectations, only meet or disappoint then.
But for all the Wieber sadness, the joy of winning, especially as the underdog, was on display last night too. Raisman earned herself a spot in the women’s all around and was ecstatic about it. I was happy for her, but even happier that her parents — the breakout stars of last night’s broadcast — will continue to be complete and total spazzbasket, stressballs in future events. In a moment of television brilliance, NBC showed Raisman’s parents watching her uneven parallel bars routine, with Aly’s mother vocalizing her immense anxiety with twitchy, bossy commands and spazzy body language, easily the best visualization of parental anxiety I’ve ever seen. When Aly qualified, both of her parents burst into tears. More of them, please.
Because NBC failed to play up Wieber’s downfall until close to the end of the broadcast, there was lots of time to just enjoy the gymnastics and its oddities. There’s the always strange fact that the these hardcore athletes wear makeup; the intense and convoluted psychology of the chirpy hugs and “good jobs” the girls — teammates and also rivals — give each other; vault specialist McKayla Maroney, a sleek little alien with one of the most wondrously haughty athletic bitchfaces of all time; Douglas and her big smile, easily the most likable gymnast we’ve had in decades, positioned now to take the medal and all the money. And there’s the inelegance of the balance beam, which makes a group of women who can tumble, soar, and flip through the air look awkward and ungainly, such an extreme mental crucible and physical challenge that wobbling on it like a novice tightrope walker is the best people who don’t obey the typical laws of gravity and grace can do.
As a piece of broadcasting, NBC did a bad job at providing certain context last night: What were the other teams’ scores? What do the scores really mean? What elements are actually difficult, and why? How much of the judging is subjective? But they made up for it with three shots: the segment of Raisman’s parents, the absolutely brutal, exploitative two-shot of Raisman talking to a reporter with a despondent Wieber in the background, and the close-up on Wieber’s feet on the balance beam, her toes gripping and gripping and keeping her on that beam, even as her heels flew up. She held on that time, but it wasn’t enough.

Initially designed for cobia release tournaments, the Cobia Tube keeps fish alive for culling purposes, whether for tournament weigh-ins or switching out larger fish on a fun trip. Connect the Cobia Tube to a saltwater washdown pump, and any cobia caught and netted can be kept alive for an extended period thanks to the oxygenated water flow. Boats must be equipped with a functioning washdown or livewell pump, a cockpit hose bib, and overboard deck drains or automatic bilge pumps to discharge the seawater that flows out of the apparatus. The Cobia Tube comes in a 5-foot-long 34.5-inch-circumference model for cobia to 75 pounds and a 6-foot-long 40.84-inch-circumference size for cobia up to 150 pounds. $169 to $189; | http://www.saltwatersportsman.com/gear/fishing-accessories/fish-handling-devices/cobia-tube?quicktabs_most_popular=0&quicktabs_community_side_bar=2 | 2013-05-18T10:22:55 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The Aurora Group 12th Anniversary Annual Dinner celebrated Gay Paris in style on Saturday evening at Sydney Town Hall, raising over $60,000.
Guests arrived on the red carpet with rainbow banners flying out the front of the venue, and in the Parisian spirit, several attendees were dressed in classic French styles which looked to be straight out of the Moulin Rouge, while a threesome of mimes acrobaticed around the crowd.
See Same Same’s photos from the event here.
The prestigious event was attended by 430 key members and supporters of the GLBT community, and honoured guests including the Governor of NSW, Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir AC CVO, and her husband Sir Nicholas Shehadie, along with the Lord Mayor of Sydney Clover Moore MP.
A large number of federal and state MP’s, local government representatives, and other special guests were also in attendance, including The Hon. Malcolm Turnbull MP and The Hon. Jillian Skinner MP, NSW Minister for Health, representing Premier Barry O’Farrell, who sent his apologies.
The night was hosted by ‘international musical therapist’ Jan Van de Stool, and featured crowd pleasing performances by Paul Capsis, Queenie van de Zandt, burlesque queen Imogen Kelly and France’s ‘first lady of cabaret’ Caroline Nin, whose set included the iconic Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien.
The surprise performance of the evening was Australian entertainment legend Debra Byrne, who made a late night appearance following her evening’s performance in Mary Poppins. Debra performed the signature “I Dreamed A Dream” from Les Misérables, in which she played the Fantine in the original 1988 production. In the ultimate compliment Debra was chosen to sing the role of Fantine in the symphonic recording of Les Miserables, which featured the top performers from productions worldwide.
Chairperson of The Aurora Group David Moutou says “The Aurora Dinner is our major fundraising event for the year and the Aurora Directors are overjoyed that not only did we showcase French glamour, excellent food, wine and show-stopping entertainment to 430 guests, but raised an exceptional amount of money.”
The cash raised at the Aurora Dinner will go to Aurora’s ongoing support of its major beneficiaries, the Gay and Lesbian Counselling Service and Twenty10. The Aurora Group will also be calling for community grant submissions in the next two months in support of a number of important projects that benefit the GLBT community.

Presentation Binders & Presentation Folders
Presentation binders are one of the last stops your important documents will make before you present them to fellow employees, clients or potential clients. You want to make sure that those documents make it to that stage safely, and so does Sam’s Club.
We offer a wide selection of document holders and document clips to choose from. These items allow you to hang a document at eye level, either on the side of your monitor or mounted on your desk top, so that you can use it for reference to create new documents. Displaying your documents in this manner can save on eye and neck strain and allow you to create new documents for presentation faster and more efficiently, and Sam’s Club has the means for you to do so at extremely affordable prices.
Once you’ve created your documents, you want to protect them, which is why you can also order binding covers, certificate holders, brochure holders and even diploma covers from Sam’s Club. Having a great presentation binder won’t help you if your documents don’t survive long enough to be entered into them.
If you need presentation supplies and sheet protectors, take a look at our collection today. You’ll find just what you need for your next presentation at prices that make it easy to get all the supplies you require to be ready for the next presentation and many more moving forward. | http://www.samsclub.com/sams/presentation-binders/2132.cp | 2013-05-18T10:45:04 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

It's no secret that the nutrient content of our fresh food intake has changed from that of many years ago. In this book, Gloria Askew looks at our dietary intake and nutrition in combination with natural food supplements as the path to healthy diet and lifestyle.
What kind of nutrition do we need? Which food supplements should we buy? Vitamins and food supplements are part of a multi-billion dollar industry that is poorly regulated and loosely controlled. Some supplements are good, some are bad, while some are "totally terrific". This book was written to help the general public know the difference.
The book details fundamentals of good nutrition and helps readers determine how food supplements play a role in their overall health. Its intention is to assist in making informed decisions about which food supplements are the best choice given the wide range that are available on the market today. This book does not suggest brand names or makers, but rather advocates choices based on individual self assessment and physiological needs. | http://www.sandhillbooks.com/cgi-bin/sandhillbooks/00191.html | 2013-05-18T10:31:57 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Pump is regarded as one of the leading enteral (tube feeding) delivery systems in the North American market. The agreement between Nestlé Health Science and Moog expands availability of a state-of-the-art enteral delivery system that can be used across the full continuum of care - for adult and pediatric patients in the hospital and at home. Working together, both companies are now well positioned to meet the needs of hospital, home care and other alternate site customers.
"We are very pleased to enter into this agreement with Moog so that we can offer an innovative product like the EnteraLite® Infinity® Pump through the strength of our established Sales Force in the U.S. and Canada," said David Yates, North American Region Head for the HealthCare Nutrition business within Nestlé Health Science.

With this agreement in place, Nestlé Health Science offers the most comprehensive array of science-based nutritional formulas, enteral delivery systems and feeding tubes available in North America."

Burch better but not quite good enough yet
David Dodd 1:48 a.m., May 18
Unwritten Law fans will receive one free ticket to the February 1 SOMA concert (while supplies last) when they preorder Here's to the Mourning at either Lou's Records in Encinitas or M Theory Records in San Diego. According to, "With each preorder of the album, the consumer will receive one free bracelet which allows them access to the front of the line at the postshow signing." This is in addition to the ticket. Lou's says, "We have a bunch of them left."
M Theory says, "We have a few [tickets and wristbands], but we're running low." They're also giving away a free poster "until we run out." The CD comes out on February 1, and preordering customers can pick it up at the store that day before the gig in order to have it signed by the band at the show.
The fully animated video for "Save Me," the first single off the album that's currently number 13 on the Billboard alternative rock chart, debuts on MTV tomorrow.

Burch better but not quite good enough yet

Lights On celebrates their debut full-length Here Comes the Ocean with a release party on Saturday, July 3, at the Tin Can Ale House. “We’re doing a vinyl and cassette release only, with a digital download card,” reports the band. “Our friends Writer will be playing with us, and DJs C-Wizard [Cory Casey] and Meth Combs will be flipping your mind as well.”
The Taz Taylor Band will release the Big Dumb Rock album at Brick by Brick on July 18. “We’ll be playing exactly what the name promises,” says Taylor. “The title song is based around this huge, very cliché guitar riff, with bass and drum hits on the two and four. If we presented it as a serious rock song with vocals, it would be so Poison-Ratt cheesy ’80s hair metal that we wouldn’t even do it. But as an instrumental with a self-mocking title, it’s great fun!”
Normandie Wilson’s release party for The Flower Box happens July 28 at the Soda Bar. “I was living in L.A. for the past five years and playing with Red Pony Clock,” she says. “After coming down to San Diego so often for shows and recording and everything, I recently moved back, to put my focus on recording some new indie-pop material here.”
Alternative R&B singer-songwriter Simeon Flick is preparing his Piquant CD for a late-July release. “It’s got the usual protest and empowerment anthems,” he says. “What sets it apart from the previous three albums is that I decided to self-produce and record it at home, in addition to the usual writing and playing all the instruments. The irony of CityBeat slamming me and the record in their ‘Great Demo Review’ was that they praised the backing musicians, not knowing it was all done by me!”
Other locals with releases this month include the New Archaic (Movers & Fakers); the Punch Brothers, featuring Nickel Creek’s Chris Thile (Antifogmatic); Scott West (Austin, with drummer Mick Fleetwood); Echo Revolution (including guest player Wendy Bailey); and Greg Laswell (Take a Bow).
August will see releases from prog-inclined folkies Endoxi (Earthbound), fuzz-pop duo Crocodiles (Sleep Forever), low-fi poster boy Wavves, and a debut full-length from River City.

By Paul Rogers
progers@mercurynews.com
Well, the election's over, and although some places -- we're looking at you, Florida -- are still trying to confirm who won, another storied chapter of American political drama has now passed into the history books. Before you rush out to start your Christmas shopping, here's a fond look back at the winners and losers of Election 2012.
Winners
Barack Obama: The economy wheezed, and he lost the first debate. But his auto bailout, a big Latino turnout and his breathtakingly proficient ground game -- community organizing! -- brings home the win.
Jerry Brown: With his prestige and legacy on the line, the governor leads come-from-behind win for Proposition 30, whose tax revenues balance the state budget and stave off major cuts to schools.
Big Bird: Mitt Romney had threatened to fricassee federal funding for PBS. But now the big yellow bird, Oscar the Grouch and Elmo live to entertain another day.
Big Soda: You'll have to pry that Mountain Dew from our cold dead fingers. Richmond voters trounce proposed tax on soda and sugary drinks.
Women: The number of female senators jumps to a record 20, female voters outnumber male voters 53 to 47 percent, and Senate candidates in Indiana and Missouri who made offensive statements about rape get trounced.
Hillary Rodham Clinton: If she runs in 2016, as expected, she won't have to beat an incumbent president. Why do you think Bill was yelling himself hoarse in high school gyms the final month?
Potheads: Unfettered marijuana legalization passes in Colorado and Washington state. Crank up the Pink Floyd.
Wind turbines: Key tax credit for renewable energy was toast under Mitt Romney, but now wind, solar and other renewable companies seeking federal love have a new lease on life.
Tom Steyer: San Francisco financier bankrolls Proposition 39, which closes a corporate tax loophole and provides $1 billion a year for general fund and energy-efficiency projects. Up-and-coming Democratic candidate for governor?
Gays and lesbians: Voters pass landmark same-sex marriage measures in Maine, Maryland and Washington, while Tammy Baldwin wins election in Wisconsin, making her the first openly gay U.S. senator.
Nate Silver: New York Times statistician runs complex models, predicts Obama win, takes huge heat and is proved exactly right, calling all 50 states correctly.
San Jose State students: They hatched ballot measure to hike the minimum wage in San Jose from $8 to $10 an hour, and won, despite opposition from Mayor Chuck Reed and the business community.
Losers
Mitt Romney: Republican candidate makes a game effort, but it turns out that letting Detroit go bankrupt might not have been the best strategy for winning votes in Michigan and Ohio.
Nancy Pelosi: A year ago, she had big hopes of Democrats retaking the House of Representatives and regaining the speaker's gavel. But they didn't, and now she may lose her leadership position.
Karl Rove: King GOP strategist takes $390 million in fat cat money, blows it in losing races, and then melts down on Fox News as the results come in live.
The Mungers: Molly and Charles Jr., whose father is Warren Buffett's business partner, dump $80 million into Propositions 38, 30 and 32, losing everything they touch.
Super PAC moguls: Las Vegas casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson spends $53 million; Koch Brothers $33 million and Texas oilman Harold Simmons $24 million to buy futile ads to defeat Obama and Democratic Senate candidates.
Mary Hayashi: Convicted Castro Valley shoplifter, termed out of Assembly, runs for Alameda County supervisor and gets soundly rejected.
Big Coal: Climate change rules are coming out of Obama's Environmental Protection Agency next year. There's a reason coal stocks crashed the morning after the election.
Pete Stark: East Bay voters finally had enough of the cranky, profane, 20-term Democratic congressman, awarding his seat to Eric Swalwell, a 31-year-old Dublin councilman.
Donald Trump: Combed-over billionaire embarrasses himself with claims Obama wasn't born in U.S., then flips out and calls for revolution when the president easily wins re-election.

SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced a series of new and updated products to help transform the SAP for Aerospace & Defense (SAP for A&D) solution portfolio. With these updates, SAP is accelerating the ability to provide new business value to customers in the A&D industry. The announcement was made at the Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing Summit, held in Las Vegas from October 25-26, 2012.
In an environment of constant change that also requires strict regulatory compliance, A&D companies can struggle to keep engineering, manufacturing and the supply chain working together. Many still utilize paper, text and 2-D drawings as the interface for technicians, supervisors and inspectors to execute their work. This approach can be inefficient and costly to keep pace in accelerating global markets. Globalization also means that A&D companies are bringing new production facilities online in non-English-speaking regions around the world, creating a global supply chain with international partners.
"In this economy, budget pressures are increasing, requiring us to think, act and execute differently when it comes to operations, while staying focused on delivering the highest-quality products at the least possible cost," said John Patrick Batache, director, Lifecycle Systems and Support, Northrop Grumman. "Due to less rework and more efficient operations, delivery times have been reduced by 15 to 20 percent for work where the software is used."
SAP enables engineering, manufacturing and supply chain departments to execute integrated end-to-end processes collaboratively in order to help optimize manufacturing processes, cut costs and improve product quality. For example, frequent engineering changes can be consistently and efficiently implemented in manufacturing to minimize production and supply chain disruptions and improve production throughput. With the introduction of mobile technology and 3-D product visualization, SAP is transforming the way information is delivered to the point-of-work on the shop floor. Technicians can receive assigned work orders, view up-to-date 3-D visual work instructions, collect required production data and complete work directly on their mobile tablet — reducing waste and improving quality.
"We are helping A&D companies apply the principles of Lean and Six Sigma to information delivery," said Magnus Bjorendahl, global head, Aerospace and Defense Business Unit, SAP. "With the delivery of information on mobile devices, technicians are less frequently pulled away from their work areas, no longer forced to climb in and out of large assemblies just to update IT systems. The early adopters of these solutions have cited improved worker safety as an additional benefit."
By integrating 3-D product visualization directly into SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards software and through the SAP HANA platform,SAP has retooled the way manufacturing operations can be analyzed. A&D companies can use a 3-D model of the aircraft or assembly as navigation structure or canvas when analyzing the vast amount of operational data. Through this, they can identify additional waste and anticipate production disruptions before they occur. Multi-language capability enables deployment in non-English speaking A&D hubs such as Russia, China and France. The use of 3-D graphics helps reduce and in some cases eliminate text-based work instruction documentation, thereby helping to both reduce errors due to communication barriers and lower documentation costs.

Finding a lot of uses for the web tool Dipity - and it seems plenty of others are too. If you haven’t seen it yet, this a neat way to create interactive timelines.
I like it for the following reasons;
1. It’s so easy to use. Both to create content and to interact with. I’ve found it very intuitive.
2. Versatile. Video, pictures and text is easily interchangeable by manually adding content or you can simply plug in a RSS feed and let the content automatically update.
2. Controllable. Can set it to be one editor (i.e. the creator) who controls it or for multiple authors.
3. Easy to share. It integrates well with other platforms. I’ve embedded it into our templated work pages and sent the links below automatically to this blog.
Just two imperfections I’ve encountered so far. 1. couldn’t get the embed code to work on this blog. A twitter user recommends adding a word, any word, in between the tags to fix that. 2. Every page refresh, addition etc. adds up as a page view – good for the ego maybe but not reliable enough. Hoping these glitches will be sorted in the next promised release.
I’ve created three timelines, called topics in the Dipity world, which you can see here:
One is fed from my food blog, one is fed by the mutiple users of the MEN Flickr picture group and the other is a mix of newspaper, television and transport authority content to track the progression of Manchester’s proposed Congestion Charge scheme.
So far so good and I’m sure there’ll be plenty more journalistic uses for it in the coming months.
I see that journalists on other newspapers are already well on with the use of this too. Below are great examples from Liverpool and Birmingham.
20/08: Diary of a day in the life of Liverpool
Gun and knife crime in the Birmingham area

ALBANY — Two Saratoga County men — from Saratoga Springs and Clifton Park — were indicted by federal prosecutors on 29 felonies Thursday accusing them of mail, wire, securities and tax fraud.
Timothy M. McGinn, 63, of Clifton Park and David L. Smith, 66, of Saratoga Springs were each indicted Thursday on one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, 19 counts of mail and wire fraud, six counts of securities fraud and three counts of filing a false income tax return.
The two were originally indicted in January on 27 charges, but Thursday federal prosecutors handed up a superseding indictment, adding two charges related to new allegations and expanding the scope of the conspiracy charge and specific allegations.
The defendants were the founders of McGinn, Smith & Co. Inc., a financial
broker-dealer firm in Albany that operated for nearly 30 years.
A press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office outlines a Ponzi-like scheme in which the two allegedly paid investors “lulling payments” to cover up bad investments.
In one case, prosecutors say the firm raised $2.4 million from investors for Firstline Security Inc. without telling investors that Firstline was facing litigation and had filed for bankruptcy, defaulting on its loans.
Instead, prosecutors say they paid those investors “lulling payments” from other investments. Similarly, the two allegedly sold $600,000 in one of the Firstline investments without disclosing anything about the bankruptcy or defaulted loans.
At the same time, McGinn and Smith allegedly took money from one set of investors to pay another group of clients who made unrelated investments. In another case, they allegedly took money from investors to pay McGinn, Smith & Co. employees.
In addition, they also are accused of filing false accounting entries with federal regulators to cover up their alleged misdeeds.
Prosecutors say McGinn and Smith diverted $4.1 million in investments into their own bank accounts and that of another person and did not divulge that income to the Internal Revenue Service.
Attorney E. Stewart Jones, who represents McGinn, said there is nothing illegal about what the men did and attributed losses to the global financial meltdown nearly five years ago.
“I don’t believe the prosecutors understand this business,” he said. “We wouldn’t be here today if 2007-2008 hadn’t happened.”
Beyond that, Jones said the indictment was significantly expanded only a month before trial, which is scheduled for Nov. 13. “It makes it very difficult to prepare for a trial,” he said, calling it “wrong and unfair.”
He will be filing a motion to push back the case to a later date.
William Dreyer, who represents Smith, also contends the company and men’s activity was legitimate and “did not rise to the level of criminal activity.”
Dreyer said because of the expansion of the case and the charges, he too will be making a motion for a continuance of the case.
If convicted, the two face up to 30 years in prison for the top charge. | http://www.saratogian.com/articles/2012/10/12/news/doc507764f63e5d0615592420.prt | 2013-05-18T11:02:46 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
In this March 10 photo, an Indian naked Hindu holy man smokes marijuana before the Mahashivratri procession in Junagadh, in the western Indian state of Gujarat, India.
B, and has dramatically influenced our culture and worldview.
By some estimates, it has cost the nation more than $2 trillion dollars.
Ironically, the drug war was nearly stillborn.
Less than a year after he fired the first salvos, Nixon's Republican-led Shafer commission sought to calm Americans and temper the president’s claims.
The Shafer commission concluded that the drug problem would “not collapse our society,” and noted that “the compulsive use of alcohol remains the nation’s most serious drug problem.” It cautioned against a “drug abuse industrial complex,” that could perpetuate the problem, and called for a review of programs that might be doing more harm than good.
It even recommended abolishing penalties for private use and possession of cannabis.
Nixon ignored these conclusions, and the nation forged on with a strategy that increasingly emphasized force over treatment.
Most leaders since Nixon have doubled down on that strategy. Even President Barack Obama – who initially promised change, and who allegedly pioneered “roof hits” as a student — has merely tinkered with Washington’s interdiction-oriented program. He continues to ask Congress for billions of dollars in support of overseas eradication.
Drug hawks contend that this is a good thing. They say prohibition is working, especially when compared with the record for legal drugs. Continued...
“Fifty-two percent of Americans drink regularly,” argues Dr. Kevin A Sabet a former senior advisor in President Obama’s Office of National Drug Control Policy. “Even with every single anti-smoking campaign you could ever conjure up, 27 percent of Americans still smoke cigarettes. Only 7 percent of Americans [used marijuana in the past month].”
But 42 years after Nixon’s landmark policy initiative, the Shafer Commission appears prescient.
Condemnation of the drug war has gone mainstream. Conscientious citizens have concluded that the collateral harm inflicted by the drug war exceeds the benefits that it may yield.
Voters in Colorado and Washington demonstrated this, with their November 2012 referenda calling for legalization of marijuana. According to a 2010 Pew Research poll, three-quarters of Americans now favor legalized medical marijuana. A sizeable minority, 41 percent, support full legalization.
There is no denying that drug abuse is serious problem, and that society needs to pursue policies to minimize harm. Evidence is emerging that even marijuana, widely considered the most bening of intoxicants, can cause cognitive and neuropsychological impairment.
The trouble is, there’s little evidence that prohibition and harsh criminal penalties are having a meaningful impact. Yet the strategy is arguably inflicting an unacceptable collateral toll on society.
To put it another way, “The public does not like marijuana,” as Brian Vicente, a Denver attorney who co-wrote Colorado’s “Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act of 2012,” told Rolling Stone after voters approved it. “What they like is community safety, tax revenue and better use of law enforcement.”
The statistics are staggering.
Prohibition.
This massive prison population exacts a huge cost on families, neighborhoods, and taxpayers. Meanwhile, it hasn’t significantly affected the flow of drugs, because for each trafficker thrown in prison, others seem remain ready to their luck at this risky trade. Continued...
The drug ban has also given rise to a vast global black market, estimated to be worth $320 billion. This market empowers criminals, and provides lucrative opportunities to anyone with the requisite job skills: a willingness to harm children, break the law and resort to violence. The illicit trade has transformed neighborhoods — from Baltimore to Detroit to East L.A. — into battle zones, where innocent citizens live in fear of violence and shady dealers.
While Americans have long blamed. Continued....

Published November 2, 2012 - 2:04pm
NEW: Discuss this topic in the Google+ community for SEC fans.
The idea of Alabama-LSU playing and then having a BCS Championship rematch again in 2012 after this rare event happened in 2011 is absurd to many. While the chances are very slim, it’s not completely impossible even with one team already going into the Alabama-LSU regular season matchup with a loss. As long as both of these teams are in the top 5 of the BCS (Alabama is #1, LSU is #5), the rematch possibility remains a possibility.
First, the biggest thing that needs to happen is for a number of teams to lose. Specifically Notre Dame, Kansas State and Oregon. In some cases, It might require multiple losses for some of these teams.
If the right teams lose, the possibility of an Alabama-LSU rematch will remain on the table if the following things happen Saturday night:
1. LSU needs to win
For the rematch to stay alive, LSU has to win. First, LSU with two losses will almost kill the opportunity of a rematch. Secondly, if Alabama loses on the road in what is considered one of the toughest road environments in the country to the currently #5 ranked LSU team, they won’t fall but a few spots in the BCS rankings.
Meanwhile, It’s important that Alabama doesn’t beat themselves, but are simply beat by another outstanding football team. Best case scenario for a rematch is if Alabama rolls over every team on its schedule but loses a nail biter to LSU in Baton Rouge while still looking like a great football team.
2. The game needs to be exciting
A few factors work against voters voting in a way that might lead to a rematch. First, there’s a definite anti-SEC bias with some voters around the country. There’s nothing you can do about that. Another factor is the fact that many fans did not enjoy either game between LSU-Alabama last year. The 9-6 regular season matchup was a defensive slugfest, and the BCSCG was very one-sided and featured an LSU team that struggled to cross mid-field.
In order for a rematch to occur, this game needs to be excited to the mass fans. That means quality offense, quality defense and some big, exciting plays. Ideally, both teams look good moving the ball. Throw in an exciting punt return. End the game with one team failing to convert a 4th down against a stout defensive line. Something like LSU 24, Alabama 23 would do it.
3. LSU’s offense needs to look good
Alabama has looked like a championship team all season. Let’s be honest. LSU has not. LSU needs to look good on offense in order to convince voters that they are worthy of a championship birth. Specifically, LSU needs better quarterback play out of Zach Mettenberger. Mett doesn’t need to light it up, but he needs to complete passes and protect the ball. While the BCS brings objectivity into the equation, the reality is that the human polls still make up a huge chunk of the BCS rankings. Humans vote like humans.
The idea of an Alabama-LSU rematch is not on the lips of college football fans at the moment. There are too many undefeated teams, and LSU hasn’t looked the part yet. The reality though is that everything can change in a single Saturday. College football fans should expect the unexpected, and if things go as I’ve outlined here, the unexpected might not be that crazy.
Why are there more articles on another possible Bama-LSU BCS rematch?? Didn’t we see that already?? I’m all for the SEC winning another BCS title but I think I speak for the rest of the SEC East when I say enough is enough!! LSU already lost to an SEC East team….
So what happens when Lsu wins and then goes on to smash Georgia and all the teams that need to lose, do. Florida wins out? Why not them in The BCSCG? We saw Bama do it last year! | http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/2012/alabama-lsu-bcs-rematch/comment-page-1/ | 2013-05-18T10:32:00 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

I am trying to source a machine to do heavy wood hogging on a deep Z profile. Have been outsourcing it for 18 months and need to bring it in house. Basically bowling out/shaping a solid chunk of hardwood down to that is x=14 y=10 and Z=6-8". Removing about 90% of the wood to build the product.
I lease a shop sabre with no ATC and a 7.5 hp spindle with steppers now. It works hard to carve the whole peice, top and bottom, in about 90 minutes machine time and an extra 30 for set up, 'manual' referencing and manual toolchanging. Shop sabre makes their routers a little stouter now than they made this one and if I could find a used one for under 14K I would be interested (especially if it had multiple heads or an ATC). For the kind of production work I would like to do I think I really need a very stout machine with a moving table, but reality is what it is and i will make do with something that is 'good enough'.
for now I have about 20K I can afford to part with (though I am hoping to get below 15K) and am trying to get opinions on the following: Chinese Routers (who owns one? what is your experience? what companies have good reputations?) - CNC kits (are there kits out there that are appropriate for a heavier use application like mine?) - Used machines (I have done a lot of searching for these, often if the price is good the control needs replacing on a sturdy old machine. I use Ebay, regional craigslist, cnczone, sawmill creek etc to look for machines. Any other good places to find them? I find the brokered ones are often a little steep)
What i feel most beginnerish about is the kits and the chinese machines.
Thanks for any help or sharing of experience. | http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?196736-Chinese-Machines-vs-Kits-vs-Used | 2013-05-18T10:53:23 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Idea Exchange: What training classes did you take to help you prepare for your business?
by ZanetaB, Former Moderator
- Created: March 23, 2010, 9:21 pm
Not all small businesses are started by business savants. Most budding business owners enlist the help
of mentors or enroll in courses to help them get started. There are several free counseling and
training programs available locally and online designed to help small
businesses, and we want to know which ones our Community members found
valuable.
In
our monthly Idea Exchange, we pose questions to the Community about various topics, as well as the
content, features or services provided by Business.gov. In September, we asked 'What training classes did you take to help you prepare for your business?' Here's what you had to say:
- SBA Online Training Courses - Mousid
informed members about free
online courses offered by SBA to help businesses get started. Recently, SBA added additional training
programs to help to small businesses seeking
government contracting opportunities offered through the Recovery Act.
- Entrepreneurial Studies Classes - DHorning
shared how an entrepreneurial class at a local university helped him to
learn how to develop a comprehensive business plan. He said '... in the end, I had 40 pages of
projections, costs, and valuable research that made me feel confident
about going into business for myself.'
Many local community
colleges offer entrepreneur-type classes. Some are listed as continuing education or
workforce development courses, depending on the college. While not
free, these classes are often affordable and convenient options for
business owners who don't want to enroll as a full-time student.
- Help from SCORE and the Chamber of
Commerce- One member, LurMkr, gave a detailed account of how his
local SCORE and the Chamber of Commerce offices provided guidance when he
was considering turning his 'hobby' into a business. 38 years later, the business is still
running strong! Click here to check out his full story.
- Self-Employment Assistance Program
shared by Mvovakes
is designed to encourage and enable unemployed workers to create their own
jobs by starting their own small businesses. As he stated, only a handful of states,
York and Washington,
offer a Self-Employment Assistance Program, so check with your local State Workforce Agency
to find out if it is available.
- Financial Literacy and Debt Management
Courses- The courses that made the most impact for Bozdahova turned
out to be one that he took after starting his business. Looking to dig out of debt, this member
took free courses to develop a debt relief strategy. Locate your local
SBDC to find out about financial literacy courses and counseling near
you.
Thanks to everyone who shared information about helpful
training programs. New and existing business owners alike can benefit from your
recommendations.
To find out about other training opportunities check out the Small Business Training
and Assistance page. Here you will
find out about online tools and resources, in-person services near you, and
state programs designed to assist small businesses.
What's the Next Idea Exchange
The current idea exchange 'What is one effective tactic you've taken in response to the recession? will
run until November 3. Please submit your thoughts and vote on the
ideas you agree with by clicking Kudos!acksmith | Window Shopper | 3/23/2010 - 9:21 pm

Stand Out from the Crowd - 7 Tips for Creating a Marketing Message that Sticks
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: June 24, 2010, 5:48 am
- Updated: April 29, 2013, 10:04 am
What.
You only need to look at the home page headlines or "About You" sections of many business web sites and you'll see countless instances of mission statements and business profiles being mistaken for marketing messages, for example:
"XYZ company has provided ABC products and services in the state of Florida since 1989"
or:
'We've been in business since 1996 and it is our mission to..."
While there is nothing inherently wrong with these messages, they tend to have one thing in common - they are all about the business and not about the most important asset to that business - its customers.
Here are seven steps you can take to develop a marketing message that grabs the attention of your customers, speaks to them, and promotes action.
1) Identify Your Target Market
Knowing your market is the first step to crafting a message that speaks to understanding your market's needs. Every business has a target market, even if you stumbled into that market by accident. So don't be afraid to define your business marketing message by the market you serve best and most profitably. There is nothing more baffling to a consumer than a business who is trying to be all things to all people - it simply dilutes your message and undermines your core value.
2) Describe your Product - Briefly!
Many marketing messages become unstuck because they focus exclusively on product. Instead, your product should be considered only one piece of your overall message. For the purposes of a concise marketing message, consider the features of your product or service in the light of what they mean to the customer. For every feature there is a customer need met and a benefit realized.
3) Identify Customer Pain Points, Issues, Needs and Wants and Determine How Your Business Addresses Them
To move your prospects into action you need to step back and identify their problems, issues, needs, and wants, and ultimately define how your business addresses each of these.
Each business and customer is unique, and while some customer pain points are obvious and easily aligned to your products and services, others aren't quite so obvious. For example, if you operate a seafood bar/restaurant in a suburban neighborhood - what problem or pain point are you addressing? Well no great pain really, but you can certainly weave a benefit statement around the fact that you are overcoming a geographical issue and meeting an emotional need.
For example, our hypothetical restaurant may have chosen to position itself as providing a big-city dining experience in a suburban community. So the issue addressed and corresponding message here could be that no longer do customers need to travel miles or wait for their next business trip to experience the dining ambience that they enjoy so much in the big city - it's now available right on their doorstep.
4) Build Your Proof Points
Whatever your product or service, it's vital that you demonstrate how your business has solved the problems of others. This part of your messaging development is about documenting proof points.
Testimonials and case studies are an excellent way of doing this, and they needn't be pages long - just a few quotes or paragraphs can help encapsulate the challenge your customer was facing, the solution you presented, and the results obtained. These proof points can act as stand-alone testimonials in your marketing collateral, but you should also step back and look at common themes that you can build into your wider marketing message.
5) Define What Makes You Different
Now that you have a sense of who your target market is, what their pain points are and how they have used your business services - you'll need to communicate what you do differently than your competition. Try to tie those differences to perceived value - i.e. why should your customer care about what you do or provide?
6) What Should Your Message Look Like?
Your basic marketing message (often called a messaging platform), while consistent, needs to be flexible. You want to be able to slice and dice it for various marketing collateral (brochures, email marketing, advertising, web site copy, etc.). A practical approach to developing your standard marketing message is to build a 150, 100, 75 and 50 word version of it.
While the 50 word version is useful as a high-level elevator pitch message, the longer versions can be used to introduce more specific benefits, value statements, and proof points across your marketing communications.
The point here is that although the final message will straddle all your outreach activities - you still have the flexibility to combine it with promotional statements, advertising call to actions, and so on.
7) Deliver Your Message with One Voice
Once developed, your marketing message needs to be delivered consistently and with one voice. From your sales team to your receptionist, from your web site to your brochures - the more times your prospects hear it, the more likely it is to register in their minds and they'll want to know more. So be sure to do a sweep of all your customer touch points and update your business voice accordingly.

Document: Download a PDF of the U.S. Department of Transportation report on bus company Scapadas Magicas, LLC
Related: Crews clear scene of fatal bus crash on Hwy 38; six victims identified
Previous coverage: Bus overturns near Yucaipa | Yucaipa bus crash photos
Scapadas Magicas Tours, based in National City near the Mexican border in San Diego County, had 25 of its vehicles inspected in the past two years but only 16 passed inspection - exceeding the national average failure rate of 21 percent, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
The company fared worse than nearly three-fourths of charter bus companies nationwide in its safety inspections, records show.
Violations noted in the inspections that occurred between February 2011 and October 2012 include insufficient brake linings, leaky brake connections, missing wheel fasteners, oil leaks, low tire tread and inoperable headlights, tail lights and turn signals, records show.
The driver of the bus, Norberto Perez of San Ysidro, survived the crash and told authorities the brakes had given out on the bus during its descent from Big Bear Lake, where he had shuttled the 37 passengers and tour guide earlier that day for a skiing trip, according to news reports.
But the CHP did not confirm those reports Monday.
"We know that a lot of passengers and people on scene were making statements that the brakes had gone out and there was smoke coming out from the rear brakes ... but we haven't been able to confirm any of those statements," CHP Officer Cliff Porter said.
The accident occurred about 6:30 p.m. Sunday when the bus sped out of control down Highway 38, rear-ending a Saturn before it toppled onto its side and collided head-on with a Ford pickup, ejecting passengers onto the highway and creating a horrific scene of carnage and wreckage.
Despite the many vehicle safety violations observed and noted during inspections, Scapadas Magicus Tours has had no crashes in the past two years, according to federal transportation records.
Representatives from Scapadas couldn't be reached for comment Monday.
Jordi Garcia, marketing director of the Tijuana-based travel agency Interbus, told U-T San Diego on Monday his company rented the bus from Scapadas. He said the bus departed Tijuana at 5 a.m. Sunday, with the itinerary calling for a return late that night.
He said he spoke briefly with his tour guide, who suffered only bruises in the accident. She told him she heard a loud pop before the crash.
"Everything points to faulty brakes," Garcia said.
Scapadas was also penalized for other infractions in the last couple of years, records show.
An Aug. 29, 2012, inspection found that Scapadas allowed a driver to operate a commercial vehicle on a suspended driver's license. In 2010, the company had to pay a fine of $2,520 for failing to give a driver a drug test before hiring him/her.

CORRECTIONS: Did you find an error?
LETTERS: Have an opinion? We want to hear it.
TIPS: Is there a story we should be covering?
UPDATED: Three men suspected of committing last week's robbery at Nordstrom Rack in Westchester and holding 14 employees hostage were in custody Monday, along with two women who assisted them, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck announced.
Few details were released about the arrests during a morning news conference, but Beck credited 20 detectives with working throughout the weekend to find the alleged culprits.
"I'm incredibly proud of them," Beck said.
The men are suspected in Thursday night's holdup at Nordstrom Rack at The Promenade at Howard Hughes Center, adjacent to the San Diego (405) Freeway at Sepulveda Boulevard and Center Drive.
Records show at least one of the suspected gunmen was sentenced in 2000 to spend 12 years in prison for a robbery conviction. How many years he actually served behind bars before he was paroled was not immediately available.
In Thursday's crime, gunmen forced 12 of the 14 employees into a storeroom, while two others hid in a store break room. Police said one of the women employees was sexually assaulted and another was stabbed.
Beck declined to say what the robbers took during the heist, but he described their loot as "not significant."
Arrested on suspicion of robbery were Los Angeles residents Troy Marsay Hammock, 29, who was jailed without bail on a parole hold; Raymond Sherman Jr., 34, who was arrested in Phoenix; and Everett Oneal Allen, 24, who was held on $1.08
Jail records showed Hammock was arrested on Friday. Phoenix police arrested Allen at 5:40 p.m. Saturday and booked him at the Maricopa County jail, records showed.
Hammock, the parolee, was listed as unemployed on the Los Angeles police arrest log. Allen's occupation was listed as "LAUSD." Los Angeles Unified School District spokesman Tom Waldman said Allen is listed as a food service worker at John Liechty Middle School in Los Angeles.
Sherman has been a
Police also arrested two women on suspicion of helping the men after the crime. Details of their alleged assistance were not disclosed.
The women were identified as Rochelle Monique Sherman, 33, and Paula Roneisha Bradley, 29, both of Los Angeles. They were each held on $100,000 bail.
Arrest records showed Sherman works as a security guard and Bradley works in a lab.
Detectives presented their case to the District Attorney's Office on Monday for the filing of charges. Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the office, said the reports were under review and a decision on charges might occur today.
Beck released no details of how police identified the suspects, but said they escaped in a white sport utility vehicle. A white Ford Explorer was spotted racing away from the center as police arrived.
Officers swarmed the center at 11 p.m. Thursday when a man dialed 911 to report that his girlfriend had called him to say two gunmen had barged into the store. The store was closed but 14 employees were inside.
Police officers surrounded the shopping complex and locked down the center's Rave theaters, keeping about 200 movie patrons inside.
After several hours, a police SWAT team entered the Nordstrom store, finding the 12 employees inside a storage room, and two others in other parts of the store. Officers learned that during the robbery, a female employee was stabbed in the neck when she was discovered hiding in a break room. One of the suspects sexually assaulted another woman. Each victim was treated at hospitals and released.
Beck credited the victims with remaining calm and brave during their ordeal, and helping investigators to solve the crime.
County court and District Attorney's Office records showed Hammock pleaded no contest to one count of robbery stemming from charges at the Compton courthouse in September 2000. He received a 12-year sentence.
Records show Allen was charged Dec. 27 at the Compton courthouse with possession of cocaine for sale. He also had a pending 2011 charge of possession of less than an ounce of marijuana in a vehicle on his record.
The records showed Bradley was charged in 2006 with loitering near a school and loitering with the intent to commit prostitution. She was convicted of loitering.

Troy Correa (1) goes up for two points after driving past a Greenburgh Academy defender in a state Class D opening round game. The 5-foot-9 senior guard's all-around play earned him the Democrat's Player of the Year recognition.
Player of the Year: Troy Correa
By Rob Potter
SULLIVAN COUNTY For anyone who attended a Livingston Manor boys’ basketball game this season, it was easy to notice the play of Troy Correa.
Whether he was stealing the ball from an opposing player and then sprinting to the basket to score a layup, making a crisp pass to an open teammate, playing good defense by staying step for step with the player he was guarding or pumping up his team during the game, the 5-foot, 9-inch senior point guard certainly made an impact in every Wildcats’ game.
For those reasons, Correa is the 2012 Sullivan County Democrat Boys’ Basketball Player of the Year. Correa was chosen for the honor by the Democrat sports staff along with a poll of the varsity boys’ basketball coaches at the county’s eight high schools.
During the recently completed 2011-2012 season in which Livingston Manor advanced to the New York State Class D Final Four, Correa was the Wildcats’ leader in points per game (13.6), assists per game (6.3) and steals per game (3.8). He also grabbed an average of 2.1 rebounds per game.
Opposing coaches knew that in order to have a better chance of defeating Manor, they had to slow down Correa. But that was sometimes easier said than done.
“He is a great player and he had a great year,” said Fallsburg Coach Pete Dworetsky, whose team played Correa and the Wildcats twice this season. “We beat them by 25 points at our place early in the season, but Troy still had a good game. The second time we played them, which was at their place, Sam Didinsky did a pretty good job of guarding Troy but he still scored 28 points to lead them to victory.
“Troy also helps make everyone else on his team better,” Dworetsky added.
T-V Coach Brian Tingley noted that in Manor’s 63-46 victory over his Bears, Correa “held his team together.”
Manor Coach Charlie Hicks noted that Correa, who was one of the team’s captains this season, displayed leadership and a willingness to get his teammates more involved in the game.
“Troy and I talked early in the season about his shot selection the previous years and how it has improved,” Hicks explained. “I told him that we had some other very good offensive players on this team and that he didn’t have to do all the scoring.
“I told him that scoring points gets your name in the newspaper but it’s the little things that don’t make the paper that make you a good player.
I told him that great players make their teammates better and I thought he could do that too. He seemed to take that to heart because he averaged over six assists a game. We also discussed that he had the ability to take over in big games and he did all year.
The 18-year-old Correa embraced the role of being a good teammate.
“I liked being a facilitator for our team,” he said. “I was happy to get the ball to my teammates when they were in position to take a good shot. There were times when I felt good shooting the ball and scored myself, but I also enjoyed getting assists.”
Hicks who has coached Correa on the Manor varsity boys’ basketball team for four years, noted that there are several reasons Correa is successful on the court.
|“Troy is such a good basketball player because he has great instincts, anticipation and a good understanding of the game,” Hicks commented. “The intangibles he brings are his fiery competitiveness and the fact that he hates to lose. We fed off of his emotions all year. If he was down, we were down. When he was pumped up, the whole team was firing on all cylinders. I believe the sectional and regional championship games were great examples of this.”
Correa had his two biggest games of the year in the postseason. In an opening round game of the state tournament, he scored a career-high 31 points to lead Manor to a 86-54 victory over Greenburgh Academy. In the Wildcats’ next game, he set a new career high by netting 40 points in a 69-53 win over Bridgehampton in the Class D Regional Championship game.
“That was my favorite game of the season,” Correa said. “Scoring 40 points was nice, but more importantly it was winning the game got us to the Final Four.”
There were plenty of favorite moments to choose from. Manor made school history by winning its first-ever Section IX Class D title, winning its first-ever Class D Regional Championship and advancing for the first time ever to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D Final Four in Glens Falls.
Not surprisingly, Correa is happy with his overall performance this year.
“I think I had a good season,” he said. “It was my best season of my four years on the varsity team.”
While it was easy to see the contributions Correa made to the Manor offense this season, he also gave a great effort on defense.
“His defense goes unnoticed sometimes because of his offensive numbers, but much of his scoring was in transition due to his on-the-ball defense and our defense as a team,” Hicks said.
“Troy’s impact on Livingston Manor’s basketball team goes well beyond this year,” Hicks continued. “He has been with me and the team since third grade when he was the manager and water boy. He was a four-year starter and has helped win many games for me in his career. He and some of the other boys have volunteered their time on Saturday mornings helping out and coaching elementary basketball games.”
Correa also remembers helping the team since he was in elementary school.
“Coach Hicks has been a big influence for me all of these years,” Correa commented. “He is a great coach and has taught me and my teammates a lot. I also learned a lot from Coach [Adam] Larson and Coach [Kevin] Clifford.”
Although their season ended on a disappointing note to Madrid-Waddington in the Class D state semifinals, Correa and his teammates provided a lot of exciting moments and memories for the Manor community.
“I’ll definitely have good memories from this season,” said Correa, one of nine seniors on the team. “And I will remember my teammates. We are all good friends.
“I thank all my coaches, teammates and family members for supporting me all of these years,” he added.
Although Correa is very athletic and has performed well for other teams, including playing four years for the Livingston Manor/Roscoe varsity football team and playing four seasons for the Manor varsity baseball team, he has decided to try to play college baseball. At this time, he is not sure which college he will attend, but he knows that he wants to major in Sports Management. His career goal is to become a sports agent or a coach.

The Wake Forest players were spread over the first two games tonight, which allowed me to slip out on the third one and go ahead and get this recap out.
The first game featured Travis McKie/Dre/Madison vs. CMM/Rountree/Fischer/Green. Once again, Travis McKie paced his team a 75-72 win with 27 points, 9 rebounds and 3 steals. Both teams of Wake players played very well and we will touch on more below.
The second game saw another tight game as well with C.J Harris and his team overcoming a 43-39 halftime deficit to take a slim 70-67 victory and secure second place for the playoffs that start Wednesday night at FCDS.
Game One- Modern Nissan 75- SalemSmiles Orthodontics 72
As mentioned above, Travis McKie led his team to a close victory over his teammates, but Andre Washington and Madison also shined as well for the team. Jones had arguably his best game of the entire Summer League with 16 points, 3 assists (5 turnovers), 4 rebounds and 3 steals. While he needs to cut down on the turnovers, the game was very high paced and he caused way more than the three steals he wound up with. He showed a little more of his jump shot, but really needs to focus on being a facilitator and distributor because that is where he can help this team with his minutes off of the bench.
'Dre chipped in another double-double with 11 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks. This time the double-double came at the expense of Daniel Green, which was a very interesting matchup all night long. It bears mentioning that 'Dre once again played all 40 minutes of a very high paced game and actually saved his last rebound for the end off of a missed Travis McKie free throw (AW would make one out of two to effectively ice the game). Travis did a great job of talking to him throughout the game and calming him down. He made a couple of absolutely huge plays and had very timely blocks throughout the game that were big momentum swings.
On the other end was CMM leading his squad with 22 points, 7 assists (4 turnovers), 5 rebounds and a steal. He showed more of the aggressiveness on the offensive side that I wanted to see, but with it came a lot of shaky ballhandling (which is to be expected). I think he may have a bit of TO problems when he first gets out on the court in the regular season, but it should be easily fixable once he adjusts his speed to the speed of the collegiate game.
Aaron Rountree once again put in a workmanlike night with 7 points, 3 assists (4 turnovers), 10 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. He hit a wide open three when nobody was guarding him (Travis let him shoot), and did a pretty fantastic job guarding Travis in the first half, limiting him to 9 points. Travis got his in the second half with 3 straight threes (two of which were rainbows just over Tree's outstretched fingers), but it was a great effort all night long.
Chase Fischer continued his steady play in the Summer League, but struggled a little bit down the stretch on his three-point shot when his team needed a couple of 3's. He wound up with 8 points, 4 assists (1 turnover), 2 rebounds, and 4 steals. He has intensified his efforts in getting down the lane and his hustle really paid off on his four steals throughout the game.
Finally, Daniel Green put up a solid 13 point, 11 rebound, 1 block, 1 steal effort primarily against Andre Washington. He had a couple of really nice putbacks in the second half off of misses from teammates that kept them in the game. The battle with 'Dre was high in intensity throughout and both showed a bit of a chip on their shoulder towards each other that has really been missing for Wake Forest big men in the past few years.
Game Two- Grace, Tisdale and Clifton 70- Mountain Fried Chicken 67
In a game that went back and forth all night, it was C.J. Harris that notched the two big free throws to give his team the 70-67 victory. C.J. finished with just 10 points and 3 assists, but played a critical role late in the game to insure his team got the victory with a three from the corner and clutch free throws.
Devin Thomas had, without a doubt, his best game of the Summer League so far, finishing with 12 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, a block and most importantly only 4 fouls. Thomas not only dominated the game with his rebounding and great timing on jumps, but also displayed the ability to pass out of the post to cutters and spotted up shooters that had previously gone unseen. We knew he had the up-and-unders and "garbage" like mentality on the basketball court, but the passing was good to see because when defenders collapsed down on him he was able to get the ball to the open shooter frequently.
Arnaud Moto also had a strong night for the team as well. He finished with 13 points and 6 rebounds, with a couple of emphatic slams that have become the norm over the past couple of weeks. Moto has a great eye for the glass and seemingly just knows where he needs to be to get the ball. He would have finished with a couple of more but he and Thomas got there at the same time and Moto deferred each time. It was nice to see two Wake Forest players get the ball at the same time for what seems like the first time in years. Moto's game is very reminiscent in my opinion of a freshman Travis McKie. He has shown that he can make the three ball, but it is questionable whether he can do it consistently. When he is at his best it is through slashing and rebounding, and there is a definite role on this team for what he brings.
Justin Manns led Mountain Fried Chicken with 18 points and 9 rebounds.
