According to police, 68-year-old Karen Klein was working as a bus attendant on Bus 784 on Monday, the next-to-last day of school. Video shows Klein being verbally attacked, poked, and taunted during the bus ride.
The 10-minute long video, taken by a student, was later posted online. The video spread through social media, shocking and angering people around the world. A website with the goal of raising $5,000 to send Klein on a vacation has topped $250,000 in donations.
Police, school, and local government officials updated the situation Thursday afternoon.
According to the Greece Police Deparment, four seventh graders have been identified as the aggressors. Police said that one of the students under investigation was recording the incident.
Police said the bus driver apologized to Klein and said he was not aware of the situation at the back of the bus, and Klein accepted.
According to police, the District Attorney's Office and officers are still working to see if the incident rises to the level of a misdemeanor or a felony. If that is the case, Klein would be able to press charges, but police said she has not indicated she wishes to do so.
Police said they will continue to investigate in case Klein decides to change her mind.
Town supervisor John Auberger said that the town offices have received phone calls from around the state and nation. He said that the behavior of these four students does not reflect the community as a whole.
A school district representative said that the district shares the country's outrage, and is deeply sorry that Klein was subjected to this kind of treatment. She said that students will be punished to the fullest extent of New York education law.
The district said it has received thousands of emails and phone calls. However, the district is not pleased at the actions of some people upset by the situation and calling for vigilante justice. The district said that is another form of bullying that can't be tolerated.
Police said that the students have received threats by phone and text message, and said that must stop.

No kidding! I've got a kid learning to drive, and insist that he stick to the posted speed limit. The result? Cars start tailgating and even honking, as if he's the one doing something wrong.

I think people are speeding because they would like to try to make it through two traffic lights. If you don't speed, you stop for every light.

The Gatetree Circle walkthrough to the back of Amador Valley High School has suddenly become popular this year to parents dropping off their teens on school mornings. I don't have a problem with that by itself, but the speeds (30-40 mpg) some of them get up to coming into and leaving the circle need to be tempered. I have witnessed from my window many near accidents between these vehicles and the students who use the circle to walk to school. It is my hope some of them see this message and realize an opportunity to slow down before something happens.

SPOKANE, Wash – An iconic building in downtown Spokane now has a new owner: Inland Northwest Health Services. INHS is already a tenant of the building at 601 W. 1st, and occupies roughly 6 of the 17 floors. It already owned 26% of the building, but Friday, bought the rest.
The remaining 74% went to auction at 10 am at the Spokane County Courthouse Friday, after the former owner defaulted, and the space went into foreclosure. The bid price? Just over $16 million; however that was the amount in default including fees and interest. The amount INHS actually paid is likely much less, however the exact amount is confidential as of now.
CFO John Craig says the real-estate transaction shows INHS is here to stay, it helps the non-profit expand, and it helps brings economic stability to downtown.
"This just gives us the opportunity to expand even more from our rehab hospital to our medical air ambulance company, as well as our IT infrastructure which is the majority of the occupants of the building," Craig told KHQ.
INHS isn't the only tenant of the building; Wells Fargo Bank has offices there, as well as a mix of non-profits, business and government tenants. This change in ownership will not affect or impact them.

Las Vegas will be represented on the sidelines at Super Bowl 48.
Las Vegas native and Cimarron-Memorial alum Brandon Marshall is a reserve linebacker for the Denver Broncos and will mainly be playing special teams Sunday.
Before kickoff, Marshall will hear from his personal trainer to remind him of what it took to get there.
"Stay where you need to stay, underdog mentality," said Mike Waters of Phase 1 Sports.
Marshall's older brother, Marcus Marshall, will inspire him.
"I'll send him a Bible verse," said Marcus Marshall. "My mom sends him a Bible verse."
Once Brandon Marshall gets in the game, it'll be time to try to focus.
"All kinds of emotions," said Brandon Marshall. "I'm gonna be hyped, I'm gonna be angry."
In only his second year in the NFL, Brandon Marshall has embraced the underdog role.
He was hardly recruited out of Cimarron-Memorial but shined at the University of Nevada-Reno. After being drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2012, Brandon Marshall was cut three times before signing with the Broncos this season.
Brandon Marshall was on the Denver practice squad until an injury to linebacker Von Miller placed him on the active roster in December.
"To be honest, I was trying to fight to stay in the league," said Brandon Marshall. "I go from trying to fight to stay in the league to playing in the Super Bowl. It's kinda crazy."
"He's always had to prove himself," said Marcus Marshall. "He's always been the underdog. He's always had to work harder and work more."
A Super Bowl appearance can't be taken for granted, so Brandon Marshall has savored it, even the chaos of Media Day.
"One reporter asked me, 'Do you put hand warmers in your cup to make sure your...'"
We'll end that sentence there.
Once Sunday turns to Monday, the focus for Brandon Marshall and those close to him will be back on keeping his job in the NFL.
"I'm gonna be totally excited watching every play and watching those special teams," said Waters. "But at the same time I'm already gonna be thinking when he comes home over break this is what we need to work on."
Cheyenne High graduate and Broncos safety Quinton Carter has been out with an injury since last season.
Shadow Ridge alum Korey Toomer is part of the Seahawks non-injured reserve roster.

Justice Zibani Makhwade of Lobatse High Court has ordered Botswana Network on Law, Ethics and HIV/AIDS (BONELA) to file further particularities in a case in which homosexuals and lesbians are challenging sections of the law outlawing their sexual orientation. BONELA has been ordered to file its affidavits by May 13th.
Gays and lesbians in Botswana have gone to court to challenge the legality of Section 164 of the Penal Code that criminalises same sex relationships. The Attorney General is cited as the first respondent in the court application.
One of the applicants in the case, 29-year-old Caine Youngman says in his affidavit that he has never been able to freely express his sexuality because of the law that criminalises same sex relationships.
He said that the offence referred to as 'carnal knowledge against the order of nature' as well as social attitudes which stigmatise and discriminate against people with his sexual orientation in Botswana has forced him to cross the border into South Africa where his sexuality is recognised and protected by the law.

Bank Stocks Pull Back on Fiscal Cliff Fear: Financial Losers
Updated with market close information.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The nation's biggest banks trimmed earlier losses late in Thursday's trading session, as Republican leaders confirmed that the House of Representatives would return to work on Sunday, in an effort to avert the Fiscal Cliff.
The "big four" U.S. banks all recovered from earlier 2% declines. Three of the big four saw 1% declines, including Bank of America , with shares closing at $11.47, Citigroup (C) closing at $39.25 and JPMorgan Chase (JPM), closing at $43.63. Shares of Wells Fargo (WFC) ended the day with a slight decline, closing at $34.18.
The broad indexes all ended with slight declines, recovering from earlier losses. The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) was down slightly to close at 50.95, with all but seven of the 24 index components showing declines.Speaking on the Senate Floor Thursday morning, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) was doubtful over the prospect of a happy New Year for taxpayers, saying "I don't know time-wise how it can happen now," and that "Democrats can't put together a plan on their own because, without participation of [Senator Minority] Leader McConnell and Speaker Boehner, nothing can happen on the fiscal cliff." House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), along with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R., Ca.) released a statement late on Wednesday, reiterating that the ball was in the Senate's court: "The House has acted on two bills which collectively would avert the entire fiscal cliff if enacted. Those bills await action by the Senate. If the Senate will not approve and send them to the president to be signed into law in their current form, they must be amended and returned to the House." Also late on Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in a letter to Reid that the federal government would hit its $16.4 billion debt limit on Dec, 31. Geithner said that the Treasury would be ready to take "extraordinary measures" in order to "create approximately $200 billion in headroom under the debt limit." Later on Thursday, Republican leaders in the House of Representatives said they would return to work on Sunday, and the Wall Street Journal said that the House would hold its first vote at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, citing an unnamed "GOP leadership aide."
Fiscal Cliff Won't Stop Capital Return
The Federal Reserve will begin its next round of annual stress tests in February, and in March will hand down its decisions on whether or not to approve large bank's plans to return capital to investors through dividend increases and share repurchases.

The Philadelphia Phantoms. The Adirondack Phantoms. The Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
When the Flyers' AHL affiliate moves to Allentown to start the 2014-15 season, they'll don the Lehigh Valley name, according to a report from the Allentown Morning Call on Wednesday. The other pro sports team in town, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, use the regional name as well. In statements, the owners said they want to be the "home team for the entire region," not just one city and blahblahblah.
The Phantoms will also drop the purple and switch to "electric blue" as an accent color. Not surprisingly, you can already get merchandise with the new name on it. The logo and overall identity will stay essentially the same.
The team was originally set to move to Allentown in time for next season, but red tape and local politics have delayed the construction, and thus the planned opening, of the arena. The team doesn't have a lease to play at Glens Falls Civic Center next season and the mayor there has publicly stated that the team won't be back. It's likely, however, that he's just playing politics and that the team will indeed be back for a fifth season before making the 2014 move to Pennsylvania. Calls to the mayors office for comment on the issue have not been returned.
The Brooks Group, owners of the Phantoms, signed a 29-year lease with the City of Allentown and the new arena. It kicks in once the first puck drops in 2014.

In exactly two months,
someone will win the keys to the brand new St. Jude dream home.
It's a beautiful home, but
more importantly monies raised here will help the St. Jude Children's Hospital in
Memphis, which is doing crucial work to help find cures for childhood cancer
and other catastrophic illnesses.
News Leader 9's Barbara
Gauthier recently visited the hospital and met some incredible families, like
an Arkansas mom and son who say St. Jude changed their lives.
Meet 6-year-old Zane
Rimes, a little boy with a huge imagination and his mom says an even bigger
Miranda Rimes will never
forget the day little Zane got sick. It started as a normal day, but when she
picked him up from school something was different.
"He had 3 little pink
dots on his face which I later learned is called petichei, which is basically a
broken capillary under your skin but it can be an systematic for a whole host
of more serious things," Miranda said.
Doctors ran tests on Zane
and within a few hours discovered something was seriously wrong. Miranda rushed
him to the hospital that she thought could best treat him, which was two hours
away, watching as her son grew sicker by the minute.
"And the best way I
can describe it is like a momma tiger, I rushed to the counter and I screamed
he needs blood transfusions I need a doctor right now. And at this point he was passing out, he had
some bruising on his skin. He has acute lympoblastic leukemia and it can be
very quickly on setting so that was the night everything changed for us,"
Miranda recalls.
That was September 2010.
Soon after that Zane was sent to St. Jude children's hospital in Memphis, where
we met him and his mom Miranda last fall.
After two years of
treatment for lymphoblastic leukemia - the most common form of childhood cancer
- you can see Zane is doing well and keeping his mother very busy. She
describes coming to St. Jude as an "out of body experience in a good way."
"It's what I would
describe as a sanctuary," Miranda said. "A place where you can come and you
don't have to deal with the outside staring or misinformation, here is a very
peaceful place and a very hopeful place and a very happy place."
She says Zane is happy.
When we asked him what he likes most about St. Jude, he says the toys.
"This is actually a
space shift, and autobots drive on it and it's like a medical thing and
actually I'm working on it..." Zane explains.
When we met them, Zane and
his mom were hoping to return home to Arkansas soon. Miranda's advice to other
parents who might one day fine themselves in her place is to be what she calls
a "momma tiger," to make sure they get the best treatment
available... then she says live in the moment.
"It's not all about
treating the illness, it's about birthday parties and calling grandparents and
fulfilling your normal milestones as if you had a well baby," Miranda said. "Because
honestly at the end of the day my baby's gonna be compassionate because when I'm
sick he's gonna know how to take care of me and a lot of that you can't teach
that he's just going to know because he's been here at St. Jude and he's been
surrounded by love."

The Economy's Bad Because of the Sequester or Something
Have you ever noticed that all the "Good Stuff" Obama has supposedly done for the economy has no impact, or has impact years later (and possibly in decades to come), but all of the Republicans' economic initiative have immediate impact, and even retroactive impact (People were worried about the coming sequester and so stopped investing in biodegradable cars or whatever)?
Thus Obama's record is still an asterisk -- *, remains to be seen; only the economy of 2038 will tell -- but we know for a fact the Republicans' initiatives are colossal failures, because, Look! The economy is a shambles. Plainly this is the work of Republicans, and not Barack Obama, whose policies, again, will not begin to take hold until we've got Chick-Fil-A on Titan.

I've recently been noticing how many of Alan Moore's comics feature graphic depictions of brutal assaults on women. For instance:
- V for Vendetta: Attempted rape of Evey by Fingermen; sustained torture of Evey by V
- League vol 1: Hyde attacks Mina
- League vol 2: Griffin attacks Mina
- Black Dossier: "Jimmy" attacks Mina
- League vol 3, 1910: brutal gang-rape of Janni
- Neonomicon: sustained rape of female Fed by reptilian demon creature.
And I haven't even looked at From Hell.
These attacks are often, but not always, followed by swift and ruthless retribution, usually by powerful male protectors. Still, I can't help finding it a little disturbing that Moore keeps returning to this theme.

Mystery Mayhem Author Spotlight: WINDIGO ISLAND by William Kent Krueger
When the body of a teenage Ojibwe girl washes up on the shore of an island in Lake Superior, the residents of the nearby Bad Bluff reservation whisper that it was the work of a mythical beast, the Windigo, or a vengeful spirit called Michi Peshu. Such stories have been told by the Ojibwe people for generations, but they don't solve the mystery of how the girl and her friend, Mariah Arceneaux, disappeared a year ago. At the request of the Arceneaux family, Cork O'Connor, former sheriff turned private investigator, is soon on the case.
A woman in her 30s begins to question the routine and predictability of her days. In everybody's eyes, she has a perfect life: happy marriage, children and a career. Yet what she feels is an enormous apathy. All that changes when she encounters a successful politician who, years earlier, had been her high school boyfriend. As she rediscovers the passion missing from her life, she will face a life-altering choice.
While on a rafting and hiking tour through the jungles and mountains of Oaxaca, in southern Mexico, Eve Hardaway spots a menacing man in his yard throwing machetes at a human-shaped target. With a violent past and deadly mission, he will do anything to avoid being discovered. Due to a major storm that wipes out the roads and all communication with the outside world, Eve's tour group is trapped in the jungle with a dangerous predator who has a secret to protect.
Adding to a legendary career that includes a Pulitzer Prize, an Academy Award, Obie Awards, and Lifetime Achievement Awards from the National Cartoonist Society and the Writers Guild of America, Jules Feiffer now presents his first noir graphic novel. KILL MY MOTHER, a loving homage to the pulp-inspired films and comic strips of his youth, centers on five formidable women from two unrelated families, linked fatefully and fatally by a has-been, hard-drinking private detective.
A remote military research station sends out a frantic distress call, ending with a chilling final command: Kill us all! Personnel from the neighboring base rush in to discover everyone already dead. The land is entirely sterile --- and the blight is spreading. To halt the inevitable, Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma must unravel a threat that rises out of the distant past, to a time when Antarctica was green and all life on Earth balanced upon the blade of a knife.
Jason Fitger is a beleaguered professor at a small liberal arts college. His department is facing cuts and squalid quarters, while another department is getting lavishly remodeled offices. His writing career is in the doldrums, as is his romantic life. In short, his life is a tale of woe, and the vehicle this novel uses to tell that tale is a series of hilarious letters of recommendation that Fitger is endlessly called upon by his students and colleagues to produce.
In the first weeks after World War II, a squeaky-clean new second lieutenant named James D. Cronley Jr. is spotted and recruited for a new enterprise that eventually will be transformed into something called the CIA. One war may have ended, but another one has already begun, against an enemy that is bigger, smarter and more vicious: the Soviet Union.
When Angus Lordie and Domenica Macdonald head off on their honeymoon, Angus's dog Cyril goes to stay with the Pollocks. The long-suffering Bertie knows firsthand how stringent his mother's rules can be, and he resolves to help Cyril set off on an adventure. Big Lou becomes a viral Internet sensation, and the incurable narcissist Bruce meets his match in the form of a doppelganger neighbor, who proposes a plan that could change both their lives.
Lakshmi Patil is lost in the sadness of her life. Dr. Maggie Bose is adrift and in danger of ruining her marriage. Brought together by Lakshmi's suicide attempt, both women begin to see life from a new perspective, and realize their lives are more than what they perceive and can be more than what they thought. They begin their relationship as patient and doctor, and end up in a weird quasi-friendship from which neither can walk away.
Nearing 30 and trying to avoid the inescapable fact that they have failed to live up to everyone's expectations and their own aspirations, cousins and childhood best friends Lizzie, Elyse and Isobel seek respite in an oddly-shaped, three-story house. As they work to restore the almost-condemned house, each woman faces uncomfortable truths about her own failings.
When his sister is kidnapped by a sorcerer, Paxon Leah follows the dark mage with nothing but his old family sword to protect him. He stumbles into a plot to overthrow the Druids and remake the world…and accidentally unlocks the powers of the ancient blade. Now, he must learn to master the sword's power in order to protect not only his sister, but also those teaching him to control his powers in the first place: the Druids!
A new and highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. For most, the virus is nothing worse than the flu, but for the unlucky 1% of the population, it results in locked-in syndrome: the victim is fully awake and aware but unable to respond. Fifteen years later, integrators are able to let the locked-in borrow their bodies, when a single murder rocks this new world and everything they thought was true.
Diego, an old colleague of freelance operative Daria Gibron, had been a bodyguard in Florence, protecting an engineer and her invention, when they were attacked by a highly trained paramilitary group. He alone escaped, and the White Scorpions, a Serbian mercenary group known for their indiscriminate violence, are now after him. At the same time, a small group of disgraced CIA agents have been waiting for their chance to exact revenge on the person they blame for their discharge --- Daria Gibron.
Robert McCall is a former covert operations officer for the CIA who tries to atone for past sins by offering, free of charge, his services as a troubleshooter (often literally), a protector and an investigator. In this novel, based on the 1980s television show and timed to come out shortly before the feature film version starring Denzel Washington, McCall goes up against an old enemy, a Chechen nightclub owner, who now runs an elite assassination service to try and save the life of an innocent woman.
A revolution has taken over the government of the United States, and the environment has been saved. But now the U.S. is ruled by a dictatorship, and the corporations are fighting back. Joining them are an increasing number of rebels angered by the dictatorship of Chairman Rahma. However, cracks are beginning to show as new weapons are developed by the old corporate powers and strange reports of mutants filter through the government's censorship.
In this piercing collection of short fiction, Justin Taylor captures the lives of men and women unmoored from their pasts and uncertain of their futures. A man writes his girlfriend a Dear John letter, gets in his car and just drives. A widowed insomniac is roused from malaise when an alligator appears in her backyard. A group of college friends try to stay close after graduation, but are drawn away from --- and back toward --- each other by the choices they make.
Meet Captain James Benjamin Hook, a witty, educated Restoration-era privateer cursed to play villain to a pack of malicious little boys in a pointless war that never ends. But everything changes when Stella Parrish, a forbidden grown woman, dreams her way to the Neverland in defiance of Pan's rules. The magical forces of the Neverland open up for Stella as they never have for Hook. And in the pirate captain himself, she begins to see someone far more complex than the storybook villain.

ESPN reported this week on the ACL injury to WR Terrell Owens and noted that he wouldn't be ready until late November. They also reported that the injury happened sometime in the last month. Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, went on SportsCenter Tuesday morning to clarify several items about the injury and Owens' future.
First, Rosenhaus said Owens will be 100 percent within a month and should be ready for the opening of the 2011 season. This was a little surprising but Rosenhaus suggested several times that Owens would be ready for the season in September.
Second, Rosenhaus said the injury occurred in April. He declined to say how it happened but ESPN's report had a source saying it happened on a taping for a reality TV show and another source who said it happened during a personal workout. Rosenhaus said Owens has been around lots of people over the last few months who didn't even know he had an injury at all.
Third, Rosenhaus predicts there will be teams interested in signing Owens. Once the lockout is over, he expects to show teams via a physical that Owens is fine. He cites his recovery from a broken leg to play in the Super Bowl with the Eagles as evidence that he heals faster than most.
The only way to judge whether Rosenhaus is correct is to see where Owens is on Sept. 11 when the NFL season starts.

Details about Jason Derulo - Future History CD NEWSee original listing
Item condition:
Brand new
18 Jun, 2014 02:47:03 AEST
Item location:
Thornlands, Queensland, Australia
Brand new: An item that has never been opened or removed from the manufacturer's sealing (if applicable). Item ... Read moreabout the condition
Full-Length, Album
Please read every word in this listing :)
This is a BRAND NEW Aussie CD.
Please note that Australian CD Manufacturers DO NOT seal their CD's (however sometimes the cardboard albums do come sealed).
You can expect to find this CD with stickers on the cover or sticker marks on the cover. This may include price tags or glue marks.
Please also note that no cover is perfect; often they will have scuff marks; this is how they come from my suppliers.
If you would like the track listing for this CD, please look at the second picture in the listing :)
I can happily combine postage on items of 3 or more CD's and or DVD's :)
Please contact me with any questions, however please keep in mind we are both people and not computers (well most of us). I often ignore questions in which people forget to use their manners.
Postage information; Although I endeavour to post as soon as I can (please see handling times), we are both in the hands of Australia Post and their moods/delays/insanity; Postage times will vary. Australia Post and International Post services do NOT have a fragile service, please note I NEVER ship an item with a broken cover unless clearly stated in the listing. I post to Aussie buyers daily (excluding Saturday and public holidays), however I only post Internationally 2-3 times a week.
Buyers from outside of
Looking for an item not in my store? DVD or CD? Please contact me in ebay and if I can find it I will list it on ebay for you to buy - I have local and international suppliers - new and second hand product :)
If you purchase from me initial communication is sent automatically from my ebay store; if you do not hear from me within an hour of making your purchase;
1. Please check that your email address on ebay is up to date.
2. Please check your email junk folder; sometimes this folder collects more than just offers for Viagra :)
Thank you for looking at this item and have a great day :)
Sadly due to a lack of education and understanding by SOME ebay users I must change all my listings; when you purchase an item from me you agree that you will abide by every word in this listing and understand that this is a legal transaction. You are not permitted to think outside of the information given to you by me in this listing.
Postage; this item will be posted 3 business days AFTER your payment is received this starts from the next business day; you understand there will be no exceptions unless we agree PRIOR to bidding.
You agree to accept the current postage method and you agree to pay all and any fees involved with shipping this item in a different manner as requested by you (express post, extra padding etc). Any changes to postage will be discussed PRIOR to bidding; never after; once you click buy it now you will not be eligible for express post or any postal changes.
You also understand that the 5 star system for "How fast did the seller post the item" relates to the actual time it took me from you purchasing to me shiping and not the time Australia Post takes to get it to your door; contact ebay and read your user agreement for further information (so many people are using ebay wrong).
You understand that once the item leaves my hands it is out of my control; I can can control Australia Post and international services any more than you can; meaning we are at their mercy; yes I will do anything to help and track items "if" a problem arises but you will in no way hold me responsible for postage times and methods (you also agree to ignore the ebay advised postage times); you also understand that Australia Post and International services DO NOT HAVE A FRAGILE SERVICE; you understand packages are not treated with care and you accept this.
A postage time is factored by many things, busy time? Bushfire? Flood? Car accident? Items left behind at the post office or non collection from a post box. Did you know all items are shipped by road in Australia unless express posted? Well you do now, and you understand forces of nature and accidents on the road slow things down; you agree we will work together to solve any problems.
"But I purchased 2 items from Queensland on the same day and one arrived but your hasn't"; were they posted from the exact same post office at the exact same time? No? Then please just wait a little bit longer; in fact I have shipped items to the same lady same post office same day and time and they arrived 2 days apart? Does this make sense? No; welcome to the Australian Postal service.
If you have any problems you agree to contact me first, we will work together to solve these problems. If you leave negative or neutral feedback for me (without using common sense as determined by me)you agree to pay my store compensation of $5000.00 AUD, you also agree that you wave your right to the privacy act; you agree that you will use common sense (and you will listen to common sense). Common sense lessons are available for free, please contact me with questions :)
Remember this is a legally enforceable transaction; you agree to all of these conditions if you click buy it now or purchase by auction; extreme conditions mentioned above? Yes but I am sick of people who do not understand ebay or Australia Post taking their frustrations out on me; I am not a big company I am a sole trader.
If you have common sense we will have a wonderful transaction; see my positive feedback.
Thank You :)

Reviews for Spinach Lentil Stew
Sort By :
Delicious stew for a cold night in December. My husband went back for thirds! I used Korrs vegetable bouillion cubes and fresh spinach just at the end. I forgot the red wine vinegar but didn't miss it. Also I doubled the recipe, and I added an extra cup of lentils to make it thicker. Thank you for the great recipe!
This lentil soup is hardy and satisfying without being high in calories! I added celery and turkey keilbasa sausage. My picky 15 month old even loved it!
Delicious, full of body and flavor. I'm the only vegetarian in my family so am always looking for recipes that will satisfy me and my family, and this one fit the bill perfectly. I'll definitely make it again!
I get so bored with lentils (we eat them a lot) and I do not like frozen spinach at all, but this stew was delicious! The portions were very large and the recipe is wonderful. Thanks for sharing it!
My daughter-in-law is a vegetarian and I'm always looking for recipes that everyone will like. I made this stew and everyone raved about it! Definitely will make this again!

Devin Hester is fairly respectable at returning punts. And by fairly respectable, I mean that Devin Hester is probably better at returning punts than anyone in the history of the NFL. He has yet another touchdown, and it could be a virtual dagger for the Detroit Lions in this game. Here's the video of the Chicago Bears wide receiver/return ace doing his thing yet again.
This touchdown put the Bears up by a score of 20-0 on the Lions in the first half. Since starting the season 2-3, the Bears have won their last three in a row, and it appears that they're well on their way towards tying the Lions in the Wild Card race. Both teams will sit at 6-3 if Matthew Stafford and the Lions can't pull off a comeback.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – Rep. Ted Davis, Jr. (R) announced Monday he will file for re-election to the N.C. House of Representatives, ending speculation that he might seek the Senate District 9 seat currently held by Sen. Thom Goolsby (R), who announced Friday he would not seek re-election.
Davis released the following statement:
"Serving the citizens of the 19th House District during the 2013 Legislative Long Session has been an exciting and rewarding experience. I have learned a lot in my first year, and am proud of what I have been able to accomplish. I look forward to returning to Raleigh for the 2014 Short Session and continuing to work on issues that are important to those who reside in New Hanover County."
"Having received encouragement and support from the local community, as well as from the Speaker of the House, other members of the House leadership, fellow Representatives, and the local Republican Party, I have decided to file for re-election to the NC House of Representatives."
Davis, who represents part of New Hanover County, hadn't heard of Goolsby's decision not to seek re-election until he received a call Friday morning from a reporter.
When asked if he would run for the senate seat, Davis said, "That's something that I have to give serious consideration to."
A former New Hanover County commissioner, Davis was appointed in September 2012 to fill the seat of Rep. Danny McComas, who left the House before the end of his term to become chair of the State Ports Authority.
Davis later defeated Democrat Emilie Swearingen, a Kure Beach town council member, in the 2012 General Election.

Thirty-five years of isolation, introspection and torture
Testimony to the 7th Annual Symposium Against Isolation
by Herman Bell
Isolation bears two recognizable features: One is introspection; the other is torture. It brings out the worst in us and the best in us; regardless, we must somehow still make it through the day. And in the course of that day, and every day, we must fight our demons, real and imagined. The real ones are plain enough to see. They turn the keys. (But not all the turn-keys are bad, just most of them. I like to think that the decent ones were well brought up by their parents and that the bad ones, perhaps, didn't receive all they thought they should from their parents and others, and therefore will always feel the world owes them something and that meantime they can do whatever they want. Controlling for greed and ideology – how else do we explain the pathology of man's inhumanity to man?)
Isolation means you are cut off from the rest of the world, save for the occasional life-line that finds its way to you in the form of a visit, a letter and the occasional headline on a discarded newspaper that you might glimpse as you pass it by. Your world is greatly reduced. Fresh air, sunlight, food, keeping your body and clothes clean – the things you once took for granted – take on new importance in your life.
Under these reduced circumstances, you become so sucked into yourself that an hour feels like a day has gone by, a day feels like a week, and a week like a month. You lose a sense of time; you no longer care whether it's day or night; you hallucinate; you hyperventilate. You know your scene has to change; nothing lasts forever. Your survival instincts keep you holding on. And suddenly the unexpected melodic sound of jangling keys breaks through the cocoon that time and isolation had woven around you. Then you wonder had all that been a dream.
Isolation transposes our reality; physical torture shapes it. Physical torture is a ravening beast that has slipped its bounds from Hell to feast upon the soul of humanity. It's the Big Bad Wolf threatening the Three Little Pigs. It's the Boogeyman lurking in the woods we heard so much about, coming to get us. It's our worst nightmare rattling a locked door, straining mightily to get at us. It's Abu-Ghraib; it's Guantanamo; it's the CIA's Extraordinary Rendition; it's the screams of prisoners in U.S. police stations.
Physical torture is a ravening beast that has slipped its bounds from Hell to feast upon the soul of humanity.
It's the cries of the torn, the battered, the tormented victims of this ravenous beast that rears its ugly head to feast on pried fingernails and electrically charred genitalia, ear lobes and human breasts; chased down with a liter of water-boarding, stress positions, extremes of hot and cold temperatures; and garnished with absolute silence and jarring noise. All done to preserve an antiquated political and economic system that deprives the many of their needs and serves the few in their greed.
Outrage against this social practice should know no bounds; how can we not fight to end it?! Let us send the beast and its minions back to where they belong.
This testimony will be presented at the 7th International Symposium against Isolation to be held in Vienna Dec. 19-22. Black Panther veteran Herman Bell, 59, has been a political prisoner since 1973. He has earned a master's degree, taught and coached younger prisoners and created the Victory Gardens Project to raise and distribute fresh organic produce in the inner city. Now a member of the San Francisco 8, he is being held in the San Francisco County Jail and can be reached by mail at Herman Bell, 2318931, 850 Bryant St., San Francisco CA 94103. Please support the brothers of the SF 8 by sending a donation. Make checks payable to CDHR/Agape and mail to Committee for the Defense of Human Rights (CDHR), P.O. Box 90221, Pasadena, CA 91109, or donate on line at www.freethesf8.org/donate.html. Contact the SF 8 at that address, (415) 226-1120, firstname.lastname@example.com or www.freethesf8.org, where you can learn about the case and each of them.

Updated through 8/24/14 - 32 games left for Cubs.
For failing to sign top overall pick Brady Aiken, the Houston Astros will get the 2nd pick in next year's draft on top of their regular pick.

Jesus Morelli lined an RBI single to left to knock-in the tying run and Johan DeJesus roped a two-run double off the LF fence to plate the go-ahead runs, as a split squad of EXST Cubs rallied with five runs in the bottom of the 8th to defeat the EXST Angels 6-3 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa this morning.
I'm sure they learned from Castro that you kind of have to let the kids be themselves and figure it out on their own.
HAGSAG: Eloy Jimenez has as much raw power as any player in the Cubs system, but he needs a lot of work both at the plate and in the outfield. I think he will probably move rather slowly (but hopefully steadily) through the pipeline, probably staying at Extended Spring Training and then going to Boise in 2015, then Kane County in 2016, Daytona in 2017, etc.
take his bat from him?
I would think with Mueller teaching him this season and then flying to where ever Baez lives in the off season with Manny in tow and show him Manny's approach to the plate. Even before juicing he had a great eye.
Let him know you have to "key hole" the pitch, just because you can reach it doesn't mean you should.
And wipe all known video tape of Vlad Guerero.
Len- "And with Arietta one out from a perfect game, Ricky is walking to the mound and signaling to the bench for Edwin Jackson. That's peculiar."
Phil, can you evaluate Eloy Jimenez first season? Thanks. Also your thoughts on Conway's work at Boise.
For those of you who have done such things, how would you coach Baez to help cut down on the strike outs?
Exactly AND he does his best 'work' in the first inning. Perfect. A true master of the craft.
Ejax to the bullpen where he can appear 3-4 times a week. Problem solved.
ah, was getting to miss the EJax humor.
I'm with you. Though I will say their later draft picks and trade acquisitions of lower picks look to be pretty high quality. Though yes to prove that they can do what the Cardinals do for instance is still to he seen.
That said I think they'll lose some games with the epic holes in the lineup and getting Doubront and Turner involved. And they can always throw EJax out there if they get desperate.
it would be kinda "okay, now what?" if the cubs blaze through the rest of the season and end up falling on the wrong side of draft pick protection.
...especially with HOU getting another low pick slammed into the draft because of last year's non-signing.
it could make for an interesting off-season.
at some point the front office needs to prove it can pull a STL/OAK/etc and make those late-round + non-1st-round picks mean something, though.
and team bus driver!
Mark Grace is the hitting coach for the Hillsboro Hops.
Fact! And to be fair to the OP billybucks, I'm sure he was saying that as a giddy Cubs' fan enthusiastic post, and not as a dead serious 'playoffs here we come'! Post. Yes wins feel good.
Channeling the I-Cubs, the Smokies lost their sixth in a row yesterday and have dropped into a tie for first in the second half with Dodger affiliate Chattanooga. The two teams begin a 4-game season-ending series tomorrow.
Defending FSL champ Daytona doesn't roll that way. They've won six of their last seven to take a 2-game second-half lead over the Tampa Yankees. The Cubs have four left, three at home versus Tampa.
Kane County is obviously in the playoffs.
Oh, boy, I like everything about Alcantara, the graceful swing and glove, the cut of his jib, the look on his face: he's always cool and comfortable. When he runs, I think of Hendry's phrase about Cashner's fastball: easy gas. I've seen them throw to first and second to try to nail Alcantara, but it's never close.
In my solar system, he eclipses Castro.

By JOE LoTEMPLIO
---- — CHAZY — The death of longtime Chazy public servant Donald "Bucket" Trombly has left an empty seat on the Town Council and grief among those who knew him.
"He was one of those guys who just loved his town and would do anything he could to help out," Chazy Supervisor Staub Spiegel said.
Trombly died Monday at CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh. He was 76.
For much of the past five decades, Trombly has served the town in some capacity. He was the tax collector for six years and assessor for one year and spent several years as deputy supervisor.
He was involved in the Chazy Fire Department and Chazy Lions Club and was a founding member of the North Country Chamber of Commerce.
He helped organize the Senior Citizens Council of Chazy and served as chairman of Chazy Old Home Days for several years.
He was a past president of the Chazy Central Rural School Alumni Association and a past council member of Sacred Heart Church.
Trombly was also named Woodman of the World Citizen of the Year.
"He just did so much to help the town and everyone," Spiegel said. "He was involved in everything, and he truly will be missed."
Trombly's Town Council seat was up for election this November.
At their meeting on Monday, Spiegel said, town officials will discuss what to do.
"I think we will probably leave it empty until the election and then fill it when someone gets elected."

Real tech worker says SF homeless "grotesque," "degenerates," "trash"
Just a day after a fake tech worker blew up the Internet with class hatred, an actual tech worker spewed hatred for real -- and it's worse than anything that our political thespian had to say.
As first reported by tech blog Valleywag, AngelHack founder and CEO Greg Gopman posted this gem on his Facebook yesterday:
Just got back to SF. I've traveled around the world and I gotta say there is nothing more grotesque than walking down market st in San Francisco. Why the heart of our city has to be overrun by crazy, homeless, drug dealers, dropouts, and trash I have no clue. Each time I pass it my love affair with SF dies a little.
He has since deleted the post and apologized, but it's hard to come back from the rest of what he wrote:
The difference is in other cosmopolitan cities, the lower part of society keep to themselves. They sell small trinkets, beg coyly, stay quiet, and generally stay out of your way. They realize it's a privilege to be in the civilized part of town and view themselves as guests. And that's okay.
In downtown SF the degenerates gather like hyenas, spit, urinate, taunt you, sell drugs, get rowdy, they act like they own the center of the city. Like it's their place of leisure... In actuality it's the business district for one of the wealthiest cities in the USA. It a disgrace. I don't even feel safe walking down the sidewalk without planning out my walking path.
You can preach compassion, equality, and be the biggest lover in the world, but there is an area of town for degenerates and an area of town for the working class. There is nothing positive gained from having them so close to us. It's a burden and a liability having them so close to us. Believe me, if they added the smallest iota of value I'd consider thinking different, but the crazy toothless lady who kicks everyone that gets too close to her cardboard box hasn't made anyone's life better in a while.
Emphasis added by Valleywag. The Internet machine didn't take long in shaming him. Cue social media shaming in 3, 2, 1….
"Sorry" doesn't erase a believe that it is a "privilege to be in a civilized part of town." @Gopmania: I'm sorry. https://t.co/aMqfJ2LYNU

I can think of one way Angelhack CEO Greg Gopman could help solve SF's "human trash" problem. Move. (Not to Seattle.) http://t.co/z01JNunLAc
— Matt May (@mattmay) December 11, 2013
Greg Gopman is the very worst kind of person.
— George Bailey Smith (@GeorgeBaileyDog) December 11, 2013
The plot thickens, though, as it appears AngelHack has a Twitter bot that scours the Internet for anyone writing about the company, and instantly retweets them.
It's already retweeted many of the hate tweets towards Gopman. His own company is throwing fuel in the flames of his Internet hate.
This is his apology, written just this morning:
Last night, I made inappropriate comments about San Francisco and its less fortunate citizens on Market st. I'm really sorry for my comments. I trivialized the plight of those struggling to get by and I shouldn't have. I hope this thread can help start an open discussion on what changes we can make to fix these serious problems. Again, I am deeply sorry.
It's this kind of class hatred from tech workers that made performances like that of union organizer Max Bell Alper yesterday totally believable, leading to one important question: Can you hack empathy?
The cuts are necessary. We cannot afford 1960's style largesse.
We can afford 1960's largesse for weapons systems and war.
National security always comes first because, without that, there is nothing else.
The "war on terror" is a counter attack against a campaign of retaliation against the crime spree carried out by the national security state in the South Asian oil patch.
but to fight back.
Spain was attacked too. In response they threw out the government and stopped screwing with the middle east. Worked like a charm. Much cheaper than throwing money down the rathole of the military/police state. Without peace and justice, there's no security anyway.
The US could not defend a warship that was out in the field, it could not defend its own military headquarters in its own capital, could not defend the business district of its financial center, and it has been mired in Afghanistan for twice as long as it took to defeat both Hitler and Tojo.
For a reprise, because physical terror is not sufficient to cow a population into submission, it gave Wall Street free license to produce, as well known communist Warren Buffet says, weapons of mass destruction in the from of hundreds of trillions of dollars in bogus derivatives.
We have met the enemy and it is you and this kleptocratic war criminal government that you champion.
His delivery is horrible, but there is truth in what you are saying.
A lot of the homeless in SF are literally rotting on the streets, and we have this horrible live and let live attitude about it.
Who hasn't walked through the mission and heard the silis talk about how they can't wait till the neighborhood improves. Who hasn't seen the class/ethnic cleansing going on at 16th and mission. What are those people supposed to do. sit all day alone in a tiny sro room that's the size of a closet for these nimby psudo-liberal transplants. This whole group of invaders has this I have money so I can do whatever I want entitlement attitude. Along with contempt for anyone who isn't one of them. They don't want the poor, old, or ugly upseting their shallow little lives of corporate politics and social climbing. I don't like the way that smells, or looks, it makes me uncomfortable and that is their reason for their hope and change.
Don't get me wrong. This guy is a douche and people like him are the worst. But "ethnic cleansing?" Seriously? I'm sure there are a lot of Bosnians who would object to your application of that term to income inequality and yuppie entitlement.
is more accurate.
"and it's worse than anything that our political thespian had to say"
This isn't any justification for deception. One person doesn't equal a class, no matter how many phony "thespians" are planted. If you have an opinion of a class, say it and let others judge. At least this guy had the decency to say how he felt, rather than pretending to be a homeless person performing all of his stated prejudices to try to instill the idea that all homeless people are as he describes.
other than San Francisco. You should thank these people, they made your tax haven possible, along with access to lively arts and the best food scene in the country.
and scenery. We should thank them for that as well.
Gave this 'hack' the tax breaks that moved them into mid market in the first place...and so cheap access to SF good life....
Wow - that wasn't very smart of them now was it?
Think he means the evergreen drive to gentrify mid-market, part of which would involve deleting the homeless population.
Replacing homeless with techites.
So in an indirect and unintentional way, homeless 'lobbied' for the tax breaks, just by existing.
What he said is true, I don't know anyone that disagrees with what he said. There are different types of homeless, some people due to some type of misfortune are temporary down and out, but are trying every thing to get back up, assist them by all means, The crazies Laura's law needs to be applied to them. Street people drug sellers, bums and the likes, put them on a bus and sent them out of town.
Where extactly will these people get bused to? Would that just be doing what Nevada has illegally been doing for years to make things worse for SF?
With $50 in their pocket.
How bout Nevada ?
"Each time I pass it my love affair with SF dies a little."
Why not move to Oakland, Daly City or Aspen? There are trains, planes and buses leaving daily. There's nothing stopping you from leaving San Francisco, is there?
vast underclass of people to squat here, and there isn't nearly enough outrage than there should be.
If we wants to see where the trash is, he should just look in the mirror.
If HE wants to see where the trash is, HE should just look in the mirror.
No living being is trash. Including him.
Ludicrous! Many "living beings" are absolute trash, you just choose to live in Denial about it. Many corporatist politicians are the first to come to mind when I hear the word trash, considering their disgusting policies in giving more and more to the "haves" and taking more and more away from the "have-nots."
For your search engine:
Democratic, Republican negotiators reach agreement on austerity budget
(Source: wsws.org)
Wait til his little start-up crashes and burns next year.
See how cocky he is then.
honestly expressing their opinion than i am about the rather obvious and commonly-held opinion that the homeless present a rather unpleasant image of themselves.
This guy has the influence ($) to start something really scary.
Street sweeps, internment camps, involuntary therapy, any manner of 'cleansing' programs that would quickly degenerate, become corrupt an cruel.
Until it happened to you, of course.
But it won't since I'm not a pimp or a prossie, nor a drug dealer or criminal. If you're one of those you should be rounded up. Prossies can be rehabilitated, the others can be dumped off the Farallons to be consumed by great white sharks while ticket-buying tourists cheer lustily from specially-chartered tour boats.
That's quite a fantasy you've got there, Guest.
You must read Penthouse Letters. That's the only place I've ever known the term 'prossie' used.
Anyway I'm sure there's some vice you indulge in that could get you a ticket on that chum boat.
Or maybe you would just be in the wrong place at the wrong time when a roundup went down.
Wouldn't that be ironic, or something?
I'm Australian - prossie is our term for what is colloquially known as a "prostitute" in other English-speaking countries.
Explain this "Penthouse Letters" of which you speak.
Your kind is not welcome here. You need to move to Australia. Or Oakland. Or Aspen. Or something.
not "prossie" but maybe that's an English English versus American English thing.
His kind? Are you stereotyping people based on ethnicity? how did that work out for the KKK?
Australian is an ethnicity?
I wrote for Penthouse Letters, back before the internet.
I'm sure there's an on-line version floating around, nowadays.
You could, uh, like, Google it.
Oh there you go again off the latch with yet another wild, outrageous, looney episode and always hateful script. You haven't had that checked out yet? Pretending to be something you're not: A Classist Bitch. Generic trash like yourself would be "cleansed" along with anyone else, no matter how much you promise them that you'll keep your head locked up in the upper colon of those you pretend to be like (i.e. the "upper-crust, nose-in-the-air, bourgeois elite").
As far as I can tell, his piece of shit company produces nothing of value. Seems to be just a pyramid scheme for gullible investors.
Incidentally, he isn't the first technodouche to crash and burn this way (see Peter Shih). Days later he was whining on the nets for people to leave his company out of it. Fuck that shit. These guys deserve to have their stupid companies crash and burn. It'll teach them a valuable lesson in humility.
This man spoke the truth as he saw it, and it is an uncomfortable truth about a significant portion of the people living their lives streetside in the Tenderloin/Mid-Market area. One can have these feelings of disgust and despair at times and other times feel compassion and even hope. I think this man is simply human. The challenge is continuous, however, in moving from feelings and reactions to support for policies and actions to ameliorate the situation in this part of town. So far, nobody has found a silver bullet -- whether that involves authoritarian or social welfare measures. Perhaps we can use this public airing to find out what works at least partially and what measures are largely ineffective. The situation as it is appalls anyone not closing himself/herself off from it.
Sf has a homeless problem because SF is a relatively desirable destination for homeless folks from elsewhere, because of the climate, the services and the general "tolerance" exhibited here.
SF's homeless problem will only be solved when life is harder in Sf for the homeless than it is in other cities.
And when other cities do not keep sending their homeless, drug addicts and mentally ill residents here.
You keep spouting the same bullshit, Guest.
For your information San Jose has four times the homeless population of SF.
Santa Clara county as a whole dwarfs anything SF has. Of course Santa Clara is much bigger.
But the point is: SF IS NOT a mecca for homeless.
I'm getting tired of trying to educate your thickheaded self on this issue.
What statistics are you relying on for this info? I had no idea and would be interested to learn more.
The point stands.
"I'm getting tired of trying to educate your thickheaded self on this issue. "
Yeah don't waste your time, Randall. I gave up responding to that useless piece some time ago. The #1 requirement for being a troll = ignorance. That "Guest" troll relies strictly on willful-ignorance as demonstrated by its reams and reams of ignorant and hateful posts on this site over the years. Don't waste your time giving it anything, because anything you give it, it will dispute and after you prove it wrong, it will go off on some other topic as if it wasn't wrong. It is a nut in desperate need of attention. That useless stagnates on this site day and night.
Santa Clara County - 7,631
San Francisco County - 5,383
In spite of the fact that Santa Clara county has like 2X the population.

With the first day of school for Kanawha County just around the corner, educators and law enforcement officers came together to address the issue of school safety.
Starting tomorrow, deputies with the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office will visit local schools to increase their presence in classrooms. They plan on continuing these visits throughout the year.
Officers also plan on setting up emergency lighting along roadways.
Teachers say while it's important to deter crime, deputies will also be able to build stronger relationships with students and staff.
"When the kids start at an early age seeing law [enforcement] in the school, they'll see that police are there to help them. The aren't always after the bad guy," said Karen Messinger.
The program will also place ambulances in front of schools to remind motorists that school zone speed limits are resuming.

CATEGORIES Drama, Gay & Lesbian, Casting, Deals, Warner Brothers, Scripts, Newsstand, Movies, CinematicalWomen loved him, men wanted to be him, and now Steven Soderbergh wants to tell us all about him. (One of those claims may actually be false.) According to Variety, Soderbergh is developing a biopic of the flamboyant pianist for Warner Bros -- naturally, he'll be directing, and the busiest pen in Hollywood, Richard LaGravanese, is writing the script.
More interesting than that is the casting -- Soderbergh says he's actually drafted his old Traffic star Michael Douglas to play the man of a thousand candlelabras. He's also in talks with Matt Damon to play Scott Thorson, the man who sued Liberace for palimony, claiming they had been in a relationship for five years. To this day, apparently no one really knows what Liberace's sexual orientation was -- even Alice Cooper couldn't figure it out upon meeting him. (Thanks, Soderbergh! I learned something already.)
Despite everything being in place, this won't actually be the film Soderbergh follows Che up with -- which is a shame, because nothing should follow up Che but a man who exudes capitalism. Apparently, we're two Soderbergh projects away from getting this biopic, so don't get too wound up! You'll have forgotten all about it by the time it films, and it will be a pleasant surprise. There's not much to attract my personal interest, except the thought of Douglas donning those fabulous costumes. I can already predict an Oscar nod for a costume designer in this project's future.

Yeovil date gets Saints midfielder buzzing
6:00am Monday 6th January 2014 in Sport
LLOYD Isgrove is dreaming of an FA Cup outing against his hometown club in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Welsh youth international midfielder – who celebrates his 21st birthday next week – was born in Yeovil.
And he was quick to take to twitter after the fourth round draw paired Saints at home to the Championship strugglers.
"Hometown at home in the next round #buzzing #FACup" he tweeted.
Isgrove made his first Saints start in this season's Capital One Cup tie at Barnsley in August.
He later picked up a knee injury but returned to training last week.
Saints are no strangers to Yeovil, having played the Glovers four times in their two League 1 seasons a few years ago, winning three of them.
They beat Yeovil 2-0 at St Mary's in September 2009 with two Rickie Lambert penalties – Alan Pardew's first league win – before a late Lee Barnard goal gave them a 1-0 win in Somerset the following April.
That was after Morgan Schneiderlin had been sent off.
Yeovil held Saints 1-1 at Huish Park in September 2010, but Saints won 3-0 at St Mary's later in the season with Barnard (2) and Alex Chamberlain on target.
Yeovil have two ex-Saints in their ranks, signing both of them last summer after their release from St Mary's Striker Sam Hoskins was not in the squad for the 4-0 FA Cup win against Leyton Orient, though he did come on as a sub in their 5-1 loss at Huddersfield on New Year's Day.
Defender Danny Seaborne has just returned to Huish Park after a loan spell ended abruptly at Coventry.
The 26-year-old appeared in ten Championship games for Yeovil prior to joining the Sky Blues on loan.
Seaborne is currently serving a three-game ban after being punished by the FA for an off-the-ball incident in a 1-1 draw against Oldham last month that was missed by referee Dean Whitestone.
Coventry boss Steven Pressley is keen to sign Seaborne permanently.
"He definitely interests us in the longer term.
"He's a great age for us at 26, with his best years in front of him, and being a left-footer is ideal for us.
"I don't think he's part of Yeovil's plans so there's a good chance they will want to do business."
