CHARLES TOWN - Just 282 votes separated Democratic incumbent Tiffany Lawrence and first-time candidate Jill Upson in the race for the 65th district of the West Virginia House of Delegates.
Lawrence, who will begin her third term as delegate in January, said she was delighted at the news of her re-election.
"I am sincerely humbled once again to see that my constituents have shown that they believe in my leadership abilities and my proven record," Lawrence said.
She acknowledged what she referred to as "out-of-state money and negativity" that threatened her campaign, and said she believed "good prevails."
"I'm glad that my voters have educated themselves on the issues and me, as a legislator and as a candidate," Lawrence said.
Among her top priorities are increasing communication between her constituents and her office in Charleston, as well as working to make West Virgina's budgetary process more transparent.
"I have a long laundry list of bills that I'm currently working on that I'm hoping to bring to fruition this year," Lawrence added.
With her continued representation of Jefferson County, Lawrence said she is excited to get back to Charleston.
"There's a lot more work to be done, and I'm going to hit the ground running," she said.

Empowering local communities to serve child victims of abuse.
Child Advocacy – Putting the needs of child abuse victims first
National Children's Alliance is a professional membership organization dedicated to helping local communities respond to allegations of child abuse in ways that are effective and efficient – and put the needs of child victims first.
What does the National Children's Alliance do?
National Children's Alliance provides training, support, technical assistance and leadership on a national level to local children's and child advocacy centers and communities responding to reports of child abuse and neglect. A children's advocacy center is a child-focused, facility-based program in which representatives from many disciplines, including law enforcement, child protection, prosecution, mental health, medical and victim advocacy, child advocacy, work together to conduct interviews and make team decisions about investigation, treatment, management and prosecution of child abuse cases.
National Children's Alliance strongly believes that the combined professional wisdom and skill of the multidisciplinary team approach results in a more complete understanding of case issues and the most effective child- and family-focused system response possible.
Child abuse is a pervasive and deadly problem.
Recent statistics show that in 2009, an estimated 763,000 children were determined to be victims of abuse or neglect. As in prior years, neglect was the most common form of child maltreatment, but victims also suffered from physical abuse, sexual abuse and psychological maltreatment. And an estimated 1,770 children died. The numbers tell the bittersweet story of child abuse in America: although the numbers represent a steady decline over the last three years of abused and neglected children, even one abused child is one too many.
However, the decline is good news, and child advocacy centers ("CACs") across the nation are an important part of this success. CACs intervened in some 267,000 child abuse cases last year, and provide over 519,000 individuals with child abuse prevention training - clearly, the dual approach of intervention and prevention is working. Nonetheless, crimes involving children as victims and/or witnesses are among the most commonly underreported. And so, we must continue to focus on education as the key to reaching a far greater number of victims and potential victims. Every adult needs to know the signs of abuse, how to report child abuse, and how to prevent maltreatment.
National Children's Alliance stands for the proposition that communities working together on behalf of child victims of abuse can make all the difference in terms of response and intervention and in the lives of the child victims themselves.
Join us today and make a difference in the life of a child.

I want to apologize right off the bat if I write too much. I am about 8 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend does not want the baby. I on the other hand will not even consider an abortion. I have a blood disease and I honestly feel blessed to even be pregnant. I told him that I was and he was so nervous. His first response was, " I'm not ready to be a dad" that was it. I felt so alone. After 2 weeks my mom called and I left her on speaker so my boyfriend could hear how upset my mom was that I was even considering getting an abortion. So, after the phone call ended he sat quiet for a few minutes and finally said, " I don't want to be the bad guy. I'm not ready to be a dad, but what do you want. Honestly." I had already told him the previous weeks what I wanted and cried constantly knowing I'd be getting an abortion just for him. I told him I wanted to have the baby and he took a deep breath. I told him he wouldn't have to worry he would be gone 6 months right after the baby was born. (He's military and will be deploying) He started to actually tear up and told me he wanted to be there for his child. I was so excited. We started talking about how my family and his family would be so excited, baby stuff, and about setting up a doctors appointment. I had already told my family and he hadn't. So, a week went by and I was living in the bliss of being pregnant. I reminded him to call his parents and to not put it off any longer because he had stopped talking about the baby and didn't really say much about it. So, he called and I went upstairs since I was little afraid to hear what they would say. He came back upstairs about half an hour later and I could see he had been crying. He kept shaking his head saying " I tried and I'm not ready to be a dad" he kept repeating that and I cried instantly. My sister booked me a flight home and I was gone within 2 hours. I couldn't be there anymore living in that guilt.I can only hope this gives him time to think. I told him I am not getting rid of the baby. I feel so alone and depressed. I have no idea what to do or how to feel about being pregnant. I can only pray that he comes back around and gets emotional and excited about having the like he did before. I know a lot of it was his dad influencing him. I could really just use some good company and nice people to talk to. Nothing negative please. I am so sorry I wrote so much and for any typos. I'm using my phone and just want to post this ASAP. Thank you so much again.
Don't listen to your boyfriend. This is your child too and it deserves to live and to be loved by a amazing mommy. After I found out I was pregnant, my boyfriend told me to get a abortion. I told him no because its wrong. He left me. He also joined the army and is gone. I'm 7 months now and will be 8 next sunday. I am preparing for my little girl to arrive in this world, and even though im a single mom, who still lives at home in my parent house, im going to be a strong mom for my little girl. A mother becomes a mother when shes pregnant, a father becomes a father when he sees his child.
First of all I want to say Congratulations on your pregnancy. Although it is not what you planned and it certainly isn't turning out the way you envisioned, this little miracle is supposed to be here. You obviously want to have this baby and your baby is lucky that you were chosen to be his mom. I know that it seems scary to embark on this adventure without your boyfriend, but if he isn't ready, then you need to move on without him. You obviously have people in your life who will support and nurture you--your mom and sister are two that I can see right off the bat. Surround yourself with loving people who will care for you and your baby and help you get on the right track. Forget your boyfriend. Who knows what the future will bring and a little space may be all he needs to get his head clear and man up. If not, then you are better off without him.
Your baby only needs one amazingly loving parent and he/she already has that in you. Stay strong and try to build a network of people who will be positive role models for your baby. Your family, some friends, a church, maybe even a support group of single moms. I hope this helps. I am glad that you are here on Strong Moms and if you need even more support or words of encouragement let us know. Stay strong!
I want to thank you so much for taking the time to write me! Hat really made my day and boosted my spirits. I am so sorry that happened to you too! I want to say congratulations to you. I bet you are going to make such an amazing mommy. I admire you courage and strength and you have given me hope. Thank you. I have heard that saying before and I can only hope he wants to be there for the birth and see his baby. I just hope comes around. A part of me can't get over him just yet. I hope you are doing well and I can't thank you enough for writing. Take care. :)
I'm sorry you are encountering such grief when in what should be your time of joy. This seems to be a common trend right now; as i have posted about three similar cases just this month. I think that maybe you need to make it very clear to your boyfriend that this baby is here to stay and invite him to be a part of it's life and let him know that if he's not ready then that is ok. Even though it will hurt to see your child grow up without a dad, it will not hurt nearly as bad to see him or her grow up with an inadequate dad who puts juvenile things above his childs happiness and well being. Now with that being said it is entirely possible that he will turn around once the baby is born and he can see and hold the baby; so even if he isn't ready to be a dad still make sure to invite him when the baby is born so he know exactly what he is giving up if he should choose to be there. Other than that give him some space, let him breathe and collect himself. If he comes around then AWESOME!!! If he keeps the same standing that he isn't ready then you really need to let him go for the sake of everyone involved, especially your baby. Gravitate toward people who are supportive of what you want and leave the others in the past. I hope it all works out for you. Best of luck,
I am impressed beyond words with how you are handling your boyfriend response. You know how you feel and you are standing up for your beliefs and desire to have a baby. I just applaud your strength and courage. I also LOVE that you have good family support and that you are with your sister now. You so need to be in a supportive environment.
You have come to the right place for support and encouragement. I hope you will continue to post.
Stay strong!
You are a strong lady - I can tell by your story and your convictions. I just wanted to say that I wish I could give you a hug and I totally understand why you are feeing sad about your boyfriend. Even though he is not stepping up to the plate like you hoped, it's hard when you suddenly lose someone you've been so close to. I'm hoping that, given time, he will come around. If not, you have many friends and family who love, it sounds like. Your child will be a tremendous blessing in your life. Congrats on your sweet baby. :-)
First of all, congrats on your baby and good for you for doing what YOU wanted to do. You are the mother and if you want to keep the baby, you should. Don't let anyone try to influence you otherwise, that is wrong of them. I think time away from him is probably a good idea. He is probably scared. You could search out some support groups to help you through all this. Ask your doctor if they know of any or search online. It sounds like your family is supportive, you should stay around positive and supportive people as much as possible.
kkis- How are you doing? Keep us updated - thinking of you.
Do what is best for YOU. I think it's great that you are being so brave and strong by wanting to keep the baby. Good for you. The baby is a creation of God. You're a strong girl
kkris -How are you doing? Just wanted to see how you were and to let you know that we are all here for you on Strong Moms!
Hi, First off congrats a baby is a gift from GOD! I can't say I know what you are going through but it seems as if you have a lot of supportive people behind you. I saw someone else post that a we become mother's as soon as we hear You're Pregnant and that is so true. Sometimes with men it can take awhile. I am glad you made the decision to be with your family you need all the support you can get. I pray that he comes arounds if not. I believe you are a strong enough women to handle it on your own. Good luck

Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon Martin's mother, will be a guest on 'Meet the Press' this weekend. She is shown wih Tracy Martin, Trayvon's father. (Gregory Castillo, MCT / June 1, 2013)
NBC's "Meet the Press" will explore the issue of whether Trayvon Martin has "become a catalyst for change in the justice system" after a judge referenced the slain teen in a ruling on New York City's "stop and frisk" decision. "Meet the Press" will talk to Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon's mother; family attorney Benjamin Crump; and Ben Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP.
"Meet the Press" starts at 9 a.m. Sunday on WESH-Channel 2. New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly defends the "stop and frisk" policy even though the judge's ruling declares major portions of it unconstitutional.
"We are sensitive to this. Nobody wants to be stopped," Kelly tells David Gregory. "At the very least you're giving up your time. But we need some balance here. The stark reality is that violence is happening disproportionately in minority communities. And that unfortunately is in big cities throughout America. We have record low numbers of murders in New York City, record low numbers of shootings, we're doing something right."
A "Meet the Press" segment on Egypt features NBC's Richard Engel, who is reporting from the country; Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I.; Vali Nasr, dean of Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies; and Robin Wright, senior fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center. A panel on politics brings together NBC's Chuck Tood; Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md.; Rich Lowry, editor of the National Review; and NBC News contributor Robert Gibbs, who was press secretary in the Obama White House.
Also Sunday morning:
Police Commissioner Kelly also talks to ABC's "This Week" at 11 a.m. on WFTV-Channel 9. Other guests are Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn.; Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y.; and Reince Priebus, chair of the Republican National Committee. The roundtable panel will be Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard; Bloomberg TV contributor David Plouffe, a former Obama senior adviser; Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn; and Carly Fiorina, chair of Good360 and former CEO and chair of Hewlett-Packard. The program profiles Bill Hamilton, who worked at the White House store for 55 years.
Commissioner Kelly is a guest on CBS' "Face the Nation" at 10:30 a.m. on WKMG-Channel 6. Other guests are Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif.; Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va.; and Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va. A political panel features Amy Walter of The Cook Political Report; Bobby Ghosh of Time magazine; and Republican strategist Kevin Madden.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., talks to "Fox News Sunday" at 10 a.m. on WOFL-Channel 35. Other guests are Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. The panel will be Kimberley Strassel of The Wall Street Journal; Nina Easton of Fortune magazine; former Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio; and former Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind. Bayh and Kucinich are Fox News contributors. The program will salute Natasha Trethewey, the U.S. poet laureate. John Roberts will substitute for moderator Chris Wallace.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., are guests on CNN's "State of the Union" at 9 a.m. and noon. Other guests are Ned Walker, former U.S. ambassador to Egypt, and Jon Alterman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. A political panel brings together Democratic strategist Donna Brazile; Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform; Mo Elleithee of the Democratic National Committee; and Republican strategist Cheri Jacobus.

VICTORVILLE • A male victim's hand was slashed with a razor blade when a fight in a Budget Inn hotel room turned ugly Sunday afternoon.
Baljinder Chand, 28, is being charged with assault with a deadly weapon after slashing the victim's hand with a razor blade, San Bernardino County Sheriff's officials said.
Chand was treated at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton and will be booked when he is released, according to Jason Rosenbaum, the Victorville watch commander.
Chand, his wife, and the male victim for whom Chand's wife is a caregiver were staying at the Budget Inn in Victorville over the weekend with two of Chand's children, according to Rosenbaum.
The victim felt Chand was being disrespectful to one of the children. When the victim tried to intervene, Chand slashed his hand with a razor blade, according to Rosenbaum.
Deputies responded to the scene at 4:30 p.m. and found Chand.
The victim was transported to a local hospital for stitches, and the two children are in the custody of their mother, according to Rosenbaum.

Mon-Sat 11am-3am
Neighborhoods: Fort Sanders
Great food, fun bar – OCI recently doubled in size when they took over the space next door. They added a lot of seating, an outdoor patio and quite a few TV's. The food here is awesome. The burgers are definitely some of the best I've ever tasted. The menu is large, so if burgers aren't your thing you'll be able to find something else that is just as good.
Cheese bings and buffalo wings. Tasty finger food. The best around. – No need for a fork or knife here. Most of the tastiest entrees and apps can be eaten by hand and I've never had a bad meal at this local hot spot. Cheese bings are a must!!! I've never seen them anywhere else but they are awesome! Try them mixed so you get the hot ones and cheddar. All of the hamburgers and chicken sandwiches are top shelf. Damn, I want one right now. Check this place out for sure.
Editorial Review – Traditional college pub serving Knoxville since 1939 serves food and drinks; daily specials.
The absolute best burgers and comfort food in town! – OCI, as we locals call it, has the absolute best fresh ground burgers and comfort food found in Knoxville! The atmosphere is extremely relaxed and casual and the service is always excellent and friendly. I find myself at OCI every time i'm on campus for a game or concert. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Knoxville! You must try OCI! Very highly recommended.
Best Burgers....Period – Can't go wrong here, either dinner, drinks, whatever. Small, secluded restaurant w/tremendous menu.
New location out west, much larger, but has carried on the tradition of fine food.
A must go!

A H.O.T. Cops Novel
- eBook - ePub eBook: $12.99
The H.O.T. Cops: Trained to impose the law, but naturally skilled at enforcing pleasure.
Rogan Wolfe is a bad boy cop—the lone wolf on the force and in need of something new to excite him. Now he's transferred to sexy South Beach in Miami—working undercover and looking for a fresh start.
April Pediston is the epitome of responsible—overworked and under pressure as a high-powered attorney. Then one night, unwinding at an oceanside club she's never frequented before, she locks eyes with a stranger.
Rogan and April don't seem a natural match. She's a total professional. He's rough around the edges and ready for anything—making April feel totally out of control. And, to her surprise, exhilarated. But stripped of her starched suit, can she really succumb to his every demand? They're headed to a place of desire and reawakening that's about to change both their lives.
Chapter 1
April Pediston regretted her business suit the moment she stepped into the Café Tropico, which, she instantly realized, was less a café and more your garden variety bar and dance club. Not nearly as trendy—or classy—as most Ocean Drive establishments, the Café Tropico had clearly been here a while, though she got the idea its heyday had long since passed.
"Table for two," she told the skinny twenty-something hostess clad in a baby doll tank and ultrashort cutoff jeans. She couldn't help noticing the girl hadn't bothered with a bra, and her nipples jutted prominently against the snug fabric. And the slightly perplexed look on the girl's face as she led April to a table assured her that she appeared just as out of place as she felt. But she'd come straight from work and she was here on business, so she hadn't given it a thought. Meetings outside the office were generally held at places where . . . well, where she wasn't usually greeted by someone wearing so little.
Warm night air—punctuated with just the hint of a soft breeze blowing in from South Beach—permeated the partially open-air restaurant and reminded April that summer was descending on Miami. She'd always meant to move away—to someplace cooler, calmer. However, the feeling was vague and her fate long since accepted. She couldn't really ever leave—too many people here depended on her. And still, despite being raised here, she'd never felt she fit in in Miami any more than she fit in at the Café Tropico.
Across the room, intimidating guys with tattoos and goatees drank beer and shot pool, the clack of the balls cutting through her thoughts, while a band set up instruments and sound equipment at a small stage in the distance. She was just beginning to wonder whether the Café Tropico actually served food—she hadn't eaten, assuming this was a dinner meeting—when the braless hostess returned with a menu and a glass of water, informing her a waitress would be with her in a minute.
"I'm meeting someone," she replied, "so . . . oh, here she is now."
She'd just looked up to see Kayla Gonzalez crossing the floor toward her, passing by one of several potted palm trees that actually gave the place a little tropical ambience. Kayla wore jeans and a tight tank top, her gaze—and entire countenance—as haggard as the last time April had seen her two years ago. Hair that had been black the last time April had worked with Kayla was now long and platinum blond with dark brown roots an inch long.
As April greeted her, the other woman tried to smile, but the gesture didn't reach her eyes.
"Shall we order dinner before we talk business?" April suggested. She'd been on the run today and had eaten only a granola bar for lunch.
When Kayla looked hesitant, though, April realized that indeed dinner hadn't been on this evening's agenda for the other woman. "I . . . probably shouldn't."
Thinking maybe it was a matter of money, April smiled and said, "My treat."
As Kayla blinked, April saw remnants of youthful beauty pass through her eyes. Whereas April was thirty-three, Kayla probably wasn't yet thirty, but she looked far older. "That's awful nice of you, but . . . I was hopin' we could get right down to business. I don't have much time."
April held back her sigh. Dinner would wait—whatever legal matter Kayla had called her here to discuss was clearly weighing on her. "Sure," April said. "What can I do for you?"
Kayla tossed quick, furtive glances back and forth across the room as if to make sure no one was watching as she leaned across the small table and said, just loud enough to be heard above the other noise in the room, "I want a divorce."
April wasn't entirely surprised at this news, and in fact, she suspected it would be the smartest move Kayla would ever make. The last time she'd represented Kayla—connecting via a women-helping-women group through which she did pro bono work—Kayla had been accused of stealing valuable equipment from the warehouse where she'd worked as a receptionist. April had built a case proving that Kayla couldn't have done it—not only because she'd had an alibi, but she was physically too small to have lifted and transported the generators and other heavy items taken. And though Kayla had maintained her innocence throughout, April had been torn between believing Kayla had just been a convenient target and worrying that Kayla's husband had been involved in the theft. She'd met Juan Gonzalez only once, but he'd made a terrible impression, striking April as mentally and possibly physically abusive.
Even so, April had to inform her, "Kayla, I wish I could help you, but I'm not a divorce lawyer. That's not the kind of work I do. Though I can connect you with someone else through Women Helping Women."
Kayla's eyes clouded over so darkly that April felt it in her gut. "But . . . I wanted you. That's why I called you on my own and didn't go through the service—I didn't want nobody else. You were so nice to me before. And you don't make me feel like . . . trash." She whispered the last word as if it were an obscenity.
As a pang of empathy shot through April's core, she reached out to touch Kayla's hand on the table. "Kayla, you shouldn't ever let anyone make you feel like trash."
Yet Kayla's expression stayed downcast, and even as April thought of a colleague, Ellen, who handled divorces for disenfranchised women for free, she knew the other attorney did sometimes intimidate her less-confident clients. She never stopped to remember how fragile some of them were. And April couldn't forget how difficult it had seemed for Kayla to even look her in the eye when they'd first met two years ago. If Kayla was comfortable with her but wouldn't have that luxury with someone else . . . well, she didn't want to be responsible for the poor woman postponing her divorce, especially if her husband was abusive.
"Please," Kayla added then. "I really need your help."
April let out a breath and said, "I'll need to get some guidance from my colleague." Though hopefully it would be a simple thing, something cut-and-dried and easy for all involved. "But I'll see what I can do."
"You'll be my lawyer again?" Kayla asked, her eyes suddenly brightening.
April nodded reluctantly. "Sure."
After which Kayla thanked her profusely, reaching out to squeeze her hand. "That's such a relief," she went on. "I'm strung out enough over this without havin' to get to know somebody new. And like I said, you've always been so nice."
I really don't need something like this added to my plate. But if it will get you away from your scumbag of a husband a little faster, how can I say no?
"I'm glad to help," she said instead. "Now, does your husband know you want a divorce?"
Fresh panic seemed to seize Kayla's body—she tensed visibly. "God, no. He'll kill me."
April knew enough about women like Kayla to realize she wasn't exaggerating. So she spoke calmly, hoping to calm Kayla as well. "We'll come up with a plan for telling him, preferably on the phone, after you have someplace else to stay. But first, as I said, I'll need to speak with my colleague— then we'll talk about how to move forward. Does that sound okay?"
Kayla nodded.
And April began to feel a little relaxed, perhaps for both of them. Or maybe she was just tired. And hungry. And now that she felt their business had officially concluded . . . "You know," she said, "I'm really starving, so if you don't mind, I'm going to order dinner. You're more than welcome to join me if you'd like."
As before, Kayla glanced nervously around the bar, which April realized had begun to get more crowded just in the few minutes since they'd started talking. Why was Kayla so paranoid? Did people here know her? Or her husband? Maybe it hadn't occurred to Kayla that April would stand out in the crowd so much in her professional attire, possibly drawing more attention to them than Kayla had bargained for.
"Or if you need to leave," April added, wanting to give her an easy out, "that's no problem at all."
Kayla glanced to a clock behind the bar before she said, "Um, I guess I can hang out for a few more minutes."
Rogan Wolfe sat at the bar nursing a beer. The pretty girl behind the bar—who couldn't have been a day over twenty-two—was making conversation, asking him questions about his job as a police officer, but she was too young for him. He'd never used to pay attention to things like that, but he guessed things had changed lately.
Maybe he was finally growing up.
Or maybe it was about Mira.
Mira was an old girlfriend whose heart he'd once broken— and she'd returned the favor last summer. It hadn't been her fault, and though he'd never really talked to anyone about it, the truth was that he'd spent quite a bit of time after that pining for her. Another first: Rogan Wolfe, pining for a woman. He'd pined, in fact, until he'd realized he needed to make a change— a big one. He'd needed to get out of Charlevoix, Michigan, the same small lakeside town where they'd both lived—and he'd needed something exciting to take his mind off her. So he'd come down to Miami to visit his friend Colt, and he'd applied for a job at the Miami Police Department while he was here. A month later, he'd turned in his Charlevoix badge and started patrolling South Beach.
And the change had been exactly what he needed. Miami was hot sun, hot music, hot girls—and action, action, action. Around the time he'd last seen Mira, he'd begun to think that the point had finally arrived in his life when he needed more than just a pretty face and a smokin' body; he'd started thinking he actually wanted a little substance in a relationship, someone he could envision a real future with. But thanks to how things had ended with her, that notion had been short-lived.
He'd tried to commit emotionally to Mira—and he'd ended up feeling kicked in the teeth by the experience. So it had been easy to decide he'd been doing things right in the first place—right for him anyway—by keeping things light and hot and fun when it came to women. And that's what he intended to do from now on. And Miami Beach was the perfect place for light and hot and fun.
Though the truth was . . . women, dating, fucking—they hadn't been high on his priority list since he'd come south. Sure, he'd found someone to hook up with a few times—God knew his sex drive hadn't faded after Mira—but mostly he'd thrown himself into his job. Which was why he was here tonight, working undercover. Undercover and not officially on the clock. And maybe it was why—even if he was up for good times with fun women—he was no longer interested in twenty-two-year-olds.
Remembering why he was here, he pushed the beer aside, not wanting to let alcohol dull his senses. He might not always play by the rules, but that didn't equal being sloppy.
In fact, since hitting South Beach, Rogan had felt more inspired by his work than ever before. After spending the first dozen years of his career in small-town Michigan, he'd found his calling in Miami. In Miami, things were happening: crimes were being committed and there were true bad guys who needed to be taken down. A place like Miami, Rogan now knew, had a lot to do with why he took satisfaction in being a cop.
A few minutes ago, the Café Tropico had been mostly empty and he'd been keeping a low profile at the bar, but now that it was filling up and the band was getting ready to play, he felt safe to casually shift on his stool and take a look around the open-air room. He was hoping Junior Martinez and his sidekick, Juan Gonzalez, would show up tonight.
The bar's owner, Dennis Isaacs, whom Rogan had gotten casually friendly with since working this area and sometimes stopping by for a meal when he was on duty, suspected the two of selling drugs out of a back room. Dennis had let them know they weren't welcome here, more than once, but he was an older man and the two thugs were comfortable pushing their weight around. The pretty bartender was Dennis's niece and though she was far from being as pure as the driven snow, she and some other workers at the café knew he was trying to help Dennis out and had been instructed to keep things on the down-low if anyone, like Martinez or Gonzalez, came asking any questions about him.
The Café Tropico wasn't fancy and had certainly seen better days, but it was a decent place. Besides possessing tidbits of old Miami charm if you looked hard enough, it was also one of the few spots on Ocean Drive where you could walk in and get a burger without busting your wallet. And Rogan wanted it to stay a decent place.
Coming to Miami had lit a fresh fire under him, sharpened the edges on what had almost become a dull occupation. And so now he found himself going unofficially undercover, taking a special interest in this situation off the clock in hopes of bringing down a couple of dealers, even if they were low level. Best case scenario—he could end up getting promoted to detective. Worst? Well, even if he wasn't completely playing by the rules, if he was successful in taking some drugs and a couple of losers off the streets and helped out a local business owner at the same time, he just didn't think his captain would come down on him too hard.
The room was filled with the same people he would expect—a few tourists in shorts ate burritos or cheeseburgers while they waited for the classic rock cover band to start. Some club hoppers—younger and more slickly dressed—had stopped in for an early drink before moving on to the trendier establishments up the block. A middle-aged couple Rogan thought he'd seen here before did some salsa dancing to the Latin music that had just begun to play over the loudspeakers a few minutes ago, warming people up for the band. So what if the Latin tunes would clash with the band's songs? It was that kinda place—more about easy grub and alcohol than about sticking to a theme.
The only unpleasant sight was the group of guys at the pool table in the corner. Some Latino, some white, they sported too many bald heads, muscle shirts, and tattoos for Rogan's liking as a cop—they just looked like trouble. And he knew he'd seen at least a couple of them hanging with Martinez and Gonzalez here before.
That's when his eyes fell on the lady in the navy blue suit. Damn, talk about out of place. What on earth was some uptight professional chick doing here, dressed like that, on a Friday night? Not like it was against the law or anything, but . . . well, she just looked sort of silly. Not to mention far too stiff, even as she lifted a sandwich to her heart-shaped lips.
That was when he realized she was pretty. Almost hard to notice given the way she was dressed, and with her coppery red hair all pulled back tight in a bun like a librarian would wear. But she had damn attractive lips, that was for sure— and as his eyes traveled downward, he caught a glimpse of shapely legs ending in a pair of pumps that would have been more sexy than professional if they weren't the exact same shade of navy as her tailored suit. You should let your hair down, honey. She just looked . . . buttoned up too tight. Didn't she know this was the tropics?
Just then, his cell phone vibrated and he pulled it from his pocket to find a text from Colt. They were getting together tomorrow night.
It was then that the shouting started.
Rogan looked up to see none other than Juan Gonzalez yelling at a tacky-looking white woman—who happened to be sitting at the same table with the buttoned-up chick. He hadn't even noticed her before, too busy—for some insane reason—checking out the suit. But now Gonzalez was saying, "What the hell you doin' with her, here?" Though he barely deigned to toss a glance in the suit chick's direction as he yanked the woman up by her arm, toppling her chair in the process with a thud that would've sounded louder in a room where there wasn't already so much noise.
Rogan tensed, knowing that if things escalated, he'd have to get involved—but damn, he really hated to blow his cover here. Even if he managed to defuse the situation without flashing his badge, getting in Gonzalez's face would mean he'd be remembered. Which would mean he'd have no chance of accomplishing what he was here to do.
Now the woman, who seemed to be Gonzalez's wife or girlfriend, was yelling back, jerking her arm away, telling him to get his grimy hands off her. And—shit—that was when the chick in the suit stood up. "I don't know what's going on here," she said to him, loud and clear enough to be heard above the din, "but I was in the neighborhood on business and stopped in for something to eat when I ran into your wife. I have no idea what you think was happening, but we were only saying hello. So what's the problem?"
Oh hell—now Gonzalez turned to the suit. He towered over her, tall and lean, as he stared her down, stepping up close enough that it made Rogan uncomfortable. Much more uncomfortable, in fact, than when he'd grabbed the other woman, but Rogan didn't know why.
"The problem," Gonzalez said, "is that I don't like bitch lawyers talkin' to my bitch wife. Got it, bitch?"
Rogan couldn't quite see the woman's reaction—she faced slightly away from him—but she didn't cower or back down in any way. And when Gonzalez turned again to his wife to begin yelling at her some more, commanding her to get her ass home, then going so far as to give her a push in the direction of the door—the suit chick shoved her way in between the two of them, saying, "Don't you touch her or I'll call the police!"
Great. Just great.
And when Juan Gonzalez put his hands on the suit chick—clamping down on her upper arms—Rogan reacted, his instincts taking over. He bolted to his feet and began moving in that direction.
Of course, now other men who'd caught wind of the scuffle were stepping forward to help, too, but that didn't stop Rogan. It was more a compulsion than a decision at this point—he'd already mentally committed, driven to protect the out-of-place woman in the suit. Even if she didn't seem exactly helpless, still arguing with Gonzalez, and the way Rogan saw it, just digging herself into still-deeper shit.
Rogan was the first person to reach them, and he quickly drew a conclusion on what his best move would be, on all counts—he pulled back his fist and landed a hard right to Juan Gonzalez's jaw.
Clearly not as tough as he looked—and liked to act— Gonzalez dropped like a stone to the floor of the Café Tropico.
But that didn't even begin to quiet the situation. Now the dudes from the pool table were looking over, dropping their cues as they decided to get involved—and, oh hell, one of them held on to his cue stick, reminding Rogan of something he'd learned from bar brawls in younger days: they made good weapons.
At the same time, the other mixed bag of men who'd been ready to come to the suit's rescue were still on the scene, a couple of them asking the tacky wife if she was okay, others starting to catch wind of the scary-looking dudes headed their way—and from the corner of his eye, Rogan realized one of them was Martinez.
Gut instinct: Get out. Quick. No one, including Gonzalez, had gotten a good look at him yet—his cover wasn't blown.
His second gut instinct? Take the buttoned-up chick with you.
He wasn't sure where that part had come from—she seemed better able to defend herself than Gonzalez's wife, who he'd been happy to leave in other people's care. Maybe it was because she still looked so ridiculously misplaced; maybe he feared it would make her the easy target of Martinez's thugs. He wasn't sure, but he didn't stop to examine it— he just found his hand clamped tight to one navy blue sleeve and the slender arm underneath as he tugged her toward an out-of-the-way side entrance, at the same time calling to Dennis's niece behind the bar, "Might wanna call nine-one-one, honey."
Upon leading the woman out into a narrow old alley, the south Florida balminess hit him like a brick. They didn't have weather like this in Michigan and he was still getting used to it. Though large, open windows to the Café Tropico were but a stone's throw away, stucco walls surrounded them on both sides, and shutting the door behind them reduced the ruckus to a low, steady racket.
Now that they were alone, the woman stared down at where he still held on to her, then shifted her glaring gaze to his. Her eyes were blue. And her hair looked more auburn than copper now. "Who are you and what on earth do you think you're doing?" she snapped. "Unhand me this instant."
Rogan just blinked, not sure if he was amused or irritated. "Unhand you? Who are you? The fucking queen of England?"
She appeared aghast, her eyes widening. "How dare you drag me out of there like that!"
Rogan lowered his chin matter-of-factly. "Hate to break it to you, sweetheart, but I saved your fish-out-of-water ass in there. Dragging you out was an act of mercy."
Through the windows up the alley, sounds of the brawl inside—women shrieking, guys yelling, things breaking— could be heard. And then the shrill but distant wail of a siren sounded, putting Rogan's mind at ease. The disturbance inside would be over soon. Which meant he could resume concentrating on what was happening out here.
Namely that despite her belligerence—something he hadn't expected—the woman in the suit was even more attractive than he'd realized. He liked the warm shade of her hair and the way it shone when light hit it, like moonlight on the water—and damn, he really wanted to see it down now, falling around her face. Her eyes were bright, determined— even if also combative at the moment. And her lips looked made to be kissed. And . . . well, like they might be good for something else that came to mind, too. Only now did he see how her suit hugged her body, highlighting the curves and making her look far less frumpy than he'd originally thought. In fact, despite her attitude, the lady lawyer was beginning to seem downright sexy to him.
"I need to get back in there, check on Kayla," she told him, attempting to pull her arm away.
He held firm. For more than one reason. His groin had begun to tighten. "She's fine, sweet cheeks. There are plenty of people looking after her by now. And she's not the same kind of target as you."
She flinched within his grasp. "Sweet cheeks?"
A short laugh escaped him. "Sorry—I made an assumption." That her ass was sweet, he meant.
And when her face turned nearly as red as her hair, he knew she understood. Even if he shouldn't have said it. But something about her made it too easy, too tempting to resist. Already he could feel how hard she worked at being prim and proper and professional. And already he could sense something much more interesting bubbling just beneath the surface.
Even as she blushed and went quiet, he took in more about her. A complexion too ivory for a place like Miami. Long lashes that framed those eyes. They were a deep, dark blue here in the alleyway beneath a dim bulb by the door, but he had a feeling that in the sunlight they'd be electric.
Something dusky drew his gaze unwittingly down to find a tantalizing hint of cleavage peeking from beneath a simple white silk blouse—enough delectable curve and shadow that he knew a button had to have come undone somewhere between the moment she'd stood up to face Juan Gonzalez and now. Like it or not, she wasn't buttoned up so tight anymore.
And eyes that had gone from angry to embarrassed now grew . . . more sultry. A soft blush still burned on her cheeks, but that, too, now felt like something that was more about a slow heat building between them than anything like embarrassment. Her lips were slightly parted, making something in him needful, hungry.
He still hadn't let go of her arm. But she'd quit asking him to. She'd quit pulling away at all. He liked having hold of her. Despite himself, he liked knowing she couldn't really get away if he didn't want her to. But just as much, he liked that she no longer seemed so bent on fleeing.
Their gazes locked, held. In his peripheral vision, he took in the subtle shift of her blouse, sensed her chest heave slightly. He let out a breath, aware of the desire palpitating between them suddenly like a living, breathing thing.
That's when her lips began to tremble, just a little. And a bit of fear snuck into her eyes as she lifted her free hand to point toward the metal door they'd come through. "I . . . um . . . she's my client." Her voice came softer than before.
"I got that," he said deeply.
"But . . ." Now it was she who expelled a heavy breath, as if she'd been holding it without quite meaning to. And she shook her head, her eyes dropping uncomfortably toward his chest. "Lord—when she suggested meeting here I never dreamed it would be someplace her husband hangs out. What was she thinking? She wants to divorce him," she added, seeming to feel the need to explain. Then she crushed her eyes shut for just a second and spoke under her breath. "Damn it, I shouldn't have told you that—it's none of your business." She seemed to be talking nervously now, and he knew, even more than before, that they both remained very aware of the fact that he still held her arm in his grip.
And that was when Rogan stopped trying to hold back and gave in to the urges pulsing through his body. Still clamping tightly to her wrist, he lifted his other hand to firmly cup the back of her neck and leaned in to kiss her. There was nothing gentle about it—and though he hadn't weighed it, he supposed he hadn't meant for there to be. He wanted to kiss her hard, and even though he fully expected her resistance, he wanted to make it difficult for her to fight the kiss, difficult to push him away without giving herself a chance to sink into it.
And that's exactly what happened. At first she shoved against his chest with her free hand, trying futilely to withdraw, the back of her head retreating against his hand, and a small squeal of protest left her. But he kept kissing her, hard, and as he moved his mouth powerfully over her soft lips, he realized to his surprise that pretty soon the palm against his chest relaxed and her mouth was meeting his with complete and utter abandon.
A thick satisfaction poured warmly through his body as he stood kissing her in the hot alley, keenly aware that the buttoned-up chick in the business suit wasn't resisting one little bit.

Desert Boot-Women 175 175
Love the color and its features I love it. A bit stiff on the ankle but in other comments its going to get better with wear. I like the way it looks, with a great pair of jeans. Even my husband wants a pair, he thinks it looks great on me feet. Also, the yellow beeswax changes when wearing on asphalt, black. Maybe, it's only for the desert. I love it though. Wearing them now. March 11, 2014
Great shoe! It fits big, I'm a size 7 1/2 but I should have gotten a size 7. I don't feel like going through the hassle of returning it. That was the only problem, besides that I like everything else. April 16, 2014
Awesome shoes! I was reluctant to buy these shoes as they were a bit expensive for me. But I could not be more happy!!! The shoes are comfortable, good quality and stylish enough to wear to work (business casual requirement). I absolutely love them! The comfort is unbelievable! I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. They are true to size too. I wear a ladies 10 and the ladies 10 fits me perfectly. These shoes are perfect for every day wear, dress up, extensive walking, extensive standing, etc. I LOVE THEM!! I bought them in black patterned too. April 12, 2014
Remembering Yesterday I remember wearing Desert Boots growing up!! These are exactly as I remembered. Great quality still. I only wish they had more arch support. Since they tend to run a bit wide, I was able to easily insert a pair of orthotics with good arch support and now they are perfect. March 26, 2014
Better than I expected! I bought my first pair of Clarks as a comfortable flat option for a trip to Asia that promised to be filled with lots of walking. And these shoes did not disappoint! Comfortable and versatile enough to go from day to night! I brought 3 pairs of shoes with me, but I ended up wearing these every day because they were so easy. And I haven't even mentioned the price! I have boots that cost 3 or 4 times as much that hurt my feet so bad, I can't even look at them! Clarks just made a loyal fan out of me for life! :) Women's Desert Boots - Black Suede - size 7.5 March 25, 2014
Nice boots These boots are very comfortable and they also look very nice!!. March 21, 2014
Bought two pair I bought a pair of these in the fall. At Thanksgiving my grand daughter saw them and, right before her birthday, she called hinting for boots of her own. How cool is that? She loves hers and we may be the only dress-alike grandmother and granddaughter in the country. March 20, 2014
Good Shoes, Small Fit The shoes look great but they run a little small and rub a little. Other than that they look pretty sturdy and are made well. February 20, 2014
awesome shoes! I have never gotten more compliments on a pair of shoes before! These are classic Clarks, with the funkiest twist. I love the bright blue patent leather -- it takes the classic desert boot and turns it into something even cooler and hip and modern. Every day at least 3 people tell me how awesome my shoes are. They are really comfortable although they felt a little bit too big at first. I've gotten used to them and they feel perfect now. I highly recommend these shoes! February 16, 2014
oddly uncomfortable Toes pinch and the ankle hits at an odd spot. They are oddly not shaped to the foot and ankle. Love the color but I have to return these. February 12, 2014
Good idea but tough to wear These boots looked like just the thing for the season and I was excited to give them a try. Unfortunately, they were extremely stiff and uncomfortable. I might have tried to break them in except they buckled right where the toes bend when walking. I'm a big fan of Clarks' but these went back. February 10, 2014
too narrow I really liked the style of this boot. The quality was fine and I liked the sole and the color, etc. Unfortunately it was just too narrow and the toe pointed and I had to send them back. February 7, 2014
Nice shoe, but didn't work for me.... Loved this shoe when it came out in the '60s..... I ordered what I thought would be my size (10), but the shoe was too snug. I returned them to my local Clarks store. Very helpful sales girl helped me make a better selection. She measured my foot.....I'm really size 11....and to make matters worse my right foot is a bit bigger. As I've aged (67), my feet have become too used to casual wear and flip-flops! I tried on my CORRECT size shoe at the store and was not happy with how they felt. That's when the sales girl did her magic and steered me to a more suitable shoe.....the WAVE. Love it! February 6, 2014
This shoe is AMAZING! I have two pair of these boots and love them to death! They are so comfortable and easy to dress up or dress down. They run true to size (for me at least) and look great with jeans or slacks. I have had one pair for almost 2 years and they have held up great thanks to the great craftsmanship. I would recommend them for anyone looking for a nice, versatile, comfortable shoe that you will want to wear every day. February 4, 2014
Great Shoe The Desert Boot was exactly what I was looking for. I am still in the "breaking-in" process. I love that with every step it is creating new characters on the shoe. If you are looking for a shoe that looks exactly how it came out of the box forever, this is not the shoe for you. I however wanted a shoe that would age with me. Cant wait for spring so I can wear these everyday! February 4, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Scruffy Great product! Great price, you won't be disappointed! This is 3rd set I have bought for our lake home and I wanted to be sure I had enough to get us through several summers. I love the design of this pattern and that it is light weight enough for the young ones just learning to use silverware yet still gives that easy balance for the adults at the lake to know they are not eating with plastic ware and they are be treated like guests, not like campers.They wash great by hand or by machine and you don't have to worry about spots. Every lady has to love that whether your BBQ-ing at the lake or your back yard...Who wants spots? I love the brand, I grew up on it, passed it along to my children and now to my grandchildren and our friends It does NOT matter if you buy their high end pieces or these inexpensive pieces, they are all GREAT and lovely and we LOVE them!!! So I say, get them when they are on sale, on clearance, on BRADSDEALS, or however you can. You can't go wrong. Gobble them up and enjoy them for many years!! May 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grams Exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for something nice, but not too fancy. I also wanted matching serving pieces. The sale price made it a purchase I couldn't pass up. After receiving and being happy with my purchase, I saw the sale was still on. With two other designs available, I treated my daughters each to a set in their own pattern. April 12, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mudder FLIMSY, SCRATCHY, BENT Some forks and spoons are bumpy on edges, not smooth. Some of the fork tynes are bent out of shape from routine use. We are not hard on our cutlery. My last pattern was bought 10 years ago. My spoons have disappeared over the years so it was time for another set. Now my only recourse accd to people at Pfaltz is to call the warranty company of the stainless steel for eplacement of the "damaged" pieces. Even without the booboos, this stuff is very thin and lightweight. This is going to be a revolving door with replacing each utensil because they are so shoddy. I had reservations when I first took them out of the box. But I tried to make it work. I HATE returning things. Boy, did I learn my lesson. Save yourself the hassel, don't buy this stainless steel pattern. April 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by spice great price and quality I was a little hesitant about buying silverware over the internet, because of the pain in my hands. Some silverware are to thin an have edges that are not rounded and therefor hurt my hands. The ones I bought are wonderful. I can eat pain free. March 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MSMOLLY007 GREAT FLATWARE SET PURCHASED AS A GIFT FOR FRIENDS. THEY LOVE THE STYLE VERY SAFE FOR PEOPLE OF VARIOUS AGES. THIS PURCHASE IS ONE OF SEVERAL ITEMS PURCHASED IN LAST 4 MONTHS. I SHALL ALWAYS SHOP HERE. GREAT SELECTION OF ITEMS March 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by YacamaJudy26 Not exactly what I expected. Never having ordered flatware on-line before, I wasn't sure what I was ordering or what I would get. Although it was a good bet for the money, It wasn't the quality I was looking for. I am sending it back and will check out flatware in the store to determine what I need to look for to measure weight, etc. I then will be ordering on-line - probably with Pfaltzgraff. January 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by krisrxa ok for starter set I am actually thinking about sending this set back...It is not bad for the price I paid, but, it is truly dollar store weight. It would be perfect for a young person just starting out or for someone needing flatware for their summer home or camper. Knowing the manufacturer, I was hoping for a more weighty set. You truly do get what you pay for January 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nanasharon55 Lovely tableservice I bought this for my daughter for 2012 Christmas so can't comment on usage; however, it is beautiful and has a nice weight. December 18, 2012

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I received many compliments on the tea rose save the dates. Many of the comments I received involved "elegant" and "simple and romantic". They really turned out great. I cannot say enough about the customer service department of Wedding Paper Divas. Everyone I have dealt with has been awesome. I have already recommended to several others they should use Wedding Paper Divas the next time they need invites or anything for an event/party."
"I ordered my cards to come in red with the pearl white shimmer and rounded corners, and they were very beautiful! The quality of the paper was better than expected. I am very pleased with my order. :)"
"This save he date postcard was perfect for our destination wedding. The paper quality is excellent; which was a relief since they are not protected by an envelope. The proof was provided within 1 or 2 days and we received within 5 days of confirming the proof. There are not any other matching products, but this was not important to us."
"I am so impressed by how quickly our Save the Date cards were sent to us after we ordered them - it took less than a week to print and ship to Australia! I'm not a big fan of the paper used for these Save the Dates but my fiance loves it :) I highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas and will deffinately purchase from them in the future."
"Just received my save the dates. I am so impressed with them! The paper is better than I thought and so is the printing. I am so impressed with the customer service, I put the wrong shipping address in and emailed customer service and they fixed it and responded back within the hour. Also, I changed the font and wanted it darker and when the proof was sent, the designer changed it right away and got it perfect (responses were all returned and fixed same day). AND they came quicker than I expected. I'm so happy I went with weddingpaperdivas. I can't wait to order the invitations now!"

A woman was being treated at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital late Monday night after a one-car crash just outside Albany.
The woman was driving a Chevy Malibu west on Highway 82 in Lee County about 9:20 p.m. Near Turner's Furniture she swerved into the median, crossed the eastbound lanes, and flipped into a ditch.
Lee County deputies, fire and rescue, and state troopers all responded.
We don't know the woman's name or condition.

WASHINGTON – After a tortured day of bargaining, setbacks and speech-making Sunday, Republicans and Democrats had yet to reach agreement to avert the fiscal cliff. That left them barely a day to strike a deal, and then pass it through both the Senate and the House.
If that doesnt happen, a set of painful tax hikes will begin to kick in Tuesday, followed soon after by deep cuts in government spending.
On Sunday, there were some small reasons for hope. Negotiations shifted to the capitals two unofficial closers – Vice President Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who together had resolved past crises over tax hikes and the limit on federal borrowing.
And Republicans also dropped a demand that had briefly become a major sticking point: that Democrats agree to a cost-saving, but politically sensitive, reduction in Social Security benefits. The demand, which involved using a less generous measure of inflation called chained CPI, would effectively reduce the cost-of-living increases in Social Security benefits over time.
Previously, the GOP had demanded it in exchange for President Obamas request to extend emergency unemployment benefits and cancel deep cuts to the Pentagon and other agency budgets. A Democratic aide close to the talks described the request as a poison pill.
Even after that demand was set aside, the broader talks remained hung up over the same issues that had stalled them for months. Republicans and Democrats could not agree on how many taxpayers should see their tax rates go up, or about whether to put off a massive $100 billion spending cut called the sequester.
By the evening, the best thing that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., could say about the talks was that there were still talks going on.
Theres still time left to reach an agreement, and we intend to continue negotiations, Reid said on the Senate floor. The chamber will be back in session at 11 a.m. today.
It is a time-honored congressional tradition that any deal must be preceded by hours of doomsaying and pessimism. Its easier to sell a deal, of course, if youve first conditioned your colleagues and the public to fear there will be no deal at all.
On Capitol Hill on Sunday, even lawmakers seemed confused about whether they were watching another round of that familiar late-stage political theater – or whether, this time, the pessimism was genuine.
The two parties are so close that they cant afford to walk away, said Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., calling the fits and starts of this weekend just normal posturing in high-level negotiations. I continue to be optimistic.
But, as optimistic as Johanns was, other senators were gloomy.
I think were going over the cliff, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., wrote on Twitter.
It just looks like we cant govern, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, said on the Senate floor. She said she was horrified that the last few days before her retirement would be spent on a complete meltdown.
The fiscal cliff includes the expiration of Bush-era tax cuts, plus the sequester that Congress set up during the 2011 debt-ceiling fight. Lawmakers believed, back then, that these cuts were so big, and so broad, that even this gridlocked Congress would have to come back and figure out a better solution.
On Sunday, it looked as if they were wrong.
On Capitol Hill, Sundays events revealed a new – and troubling – dynamic in these negotiations. It had been assumed, beforehand, that the most difficult part of averting the fiscal cliff would not be striking a deal. Instead, it would be passing that deal through the fractious, GOP-led House.
On Sunday, however, it seemed that the Senate, and the Democrats, would also be an obstacle. Reid said in the afternoon that Democrats were unwilling to respond to an offer that McConnell had delivered to Reids office Saturday evening – nearly 19 hours earlier.
McConnell, then, reached out to Biden – with whom he brokered deals to end standoffs over tax hikes in late 2010, and over the debt ceiling in August 2011.
President Obama has sought to keep the pressure on Congress to act, including taping his appearance for Meet the Press.
What Congress needs to do, first and foremost, is to prevent taxes from going up for the vast majority of Americans, Obama said on the show.
Failing to reach a deal for funding the government will slow the economy and harm most families, he said. He has advocated a plan that would raise taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent.
There is a basic fairness that is at stake in this whole thing that the American people understand and they listened to an entire years debate about it. They made a clear decision about the approach they prefer, which is a balanced, responsible package.
They rejected the notion that the economy grows best from the top down. They believe that the economy grows best from the middle class out. And at a certain point, it is very important for Republicans in Congress to be willing to say, We understand were not going to get 100 percent. We are willing to compromise in a serious way in order to solve problems.
McConnells spokesman Don Stewart responded Sunday by saying, While the president was taping those discordant remarks yesterday, Senator McConnell was in the office working to bring Republicans and Democrats together on a solution.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to develop an application which modifies a couple of tasks of the famous Online-TODO List RememberTheMilk (rememberthemilk.com) using the REST API.
Unfortunately the modifying takes a lot of time, so I want to give a feedback to the users. My idea was just to display a couple of text lines (e.g. modifying task 1 of n...).
Therefore I used the periodically_call_remote on my page and called a which reads a Singleton. In the request I store the text that should be displayed in the same singleton. But I found out, that once I set up a request, the periodically_call_remote does not update the specified div.
My question to this: 1. is this a good way to implement this behaviour? 2. if it is, how do get the periodically_call_remote to work during a submit?
regards leifg
You may want to consider processing the task asynchronously, if you aren't doing this already. DelayedJob is an excellent way to do this: http://tobi.github.com/delayed_job/
As for reporting on status, you could do this by polling asynchronously. Make sure that the entire page loads each time the user navigates before starting the polling task. Alternatively, you could try these alternatives: * Send email when the task is done. * Check the status of the request on each page render, and report the status in a flash message. * Display an alert message in the browser when the task is done instead of updating the page directly.
