The pre-draft process continues, with San Diego State tight end Gavin Escobar set to meet with the Panthers -- according to Tony Pauline.
Escobar is another curious pre-draft meeting, solely because of his standing in the draft class. A 6-6, 245-lbs pass catcher, he was used primarily in a 'big receiver' role for the Aztecs, rather than lining up as a true inline tight end. He finished his junior season with 543 yards receiving, and six touchdowns. Escobar was also San Diego State's leading receiver -- out-catching the next nearest receiver by almost 20 receptions, and 200 yards.
Slated to be a 2nd or 3rd round selection (according to CBS Sports), this is an interesting visit for the Panthers. Most likely they're hoping Escobar will be available in the 4th round, but at this point the team are looking for weapons -- regardless of position. It's still most likely Carolina will take a wide receiver in the first two rounds, but if the board isn't favorable it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility that the team look to emulate New England's approach by having two field-stretching tight ends, rather than traditional wide receivers.

Misty Morrissey, the mother of Lyric Cook, has been arrested by Fayette County authorities after a week-long drug investigation.
The Fayette County Sheriff's Office says 36-year-old Morrissey is charged with two counts of delivery of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), possession with intent to deliver marijuana, ongoing criminal conduct and possession of drug paraphernalia.
If convicted on all counts, she could serve up to 50 years in prison.
Her bond was set at $130,000 Tuesday. Morrissey's next hearing is Dec. 6 at 2:45 p.m.
The Fayette County Sheriff's Office and West Union Police Department executed a search warrant at 100 E. Franklin Street in West Union Monday afternoon. The sheriff's office says that's the home Morrissey shared with 25-year-old Todd Michael Henriksen.
Both are formerly of Waterloo, but now live in West Union.However, in her court appearance Tuesday, Morrissey told the judge Henriksen lived in Waterloo.
"I just want to say that these charges don't belong on Todd," she said. "He didn't have anything to do with it. I invited him up for the weekend to work on a tattoo for me and he just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time."
Authorities say their investigation uncovered an operation of possession/sales of methamphetamine and marijuana over the last few months, and deputies recovered a large amount of cash, drugs, digital scales, packaging and evidence showing the distribution of controlled substances.
Henriksen is charged with delivery of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance (marijuana), and possession of drug paraphernalia.If convicted on all counts, he could spend up to 15 years in prison. Henriksen's bond was set at $55,000.
Investigators will be going over all the evidence and more people and charges could be filed at a later date.
The arrest comes a little more than a week before the one year mark since hunters found the body of Misty Morrissey's daughter Lyric, and Lyric's cousin Elizabeth, in Bremer County. The discovery happened December 5, 2012. AutAuthoritiesy this new investigation is unrelated to the missing girls, and is more about taking drugs off the streets.
"I think for any person who has grandchildren or children, you certainly don't want this to be sold to them," said Fayette County Sheriff Marty Fisher. "We always try to be very proactive on going after the narcotic trade that is going on through the state of Iowa."

Doctor Phil makes a house call! He says the game of life has changed, so what are the new rules and how can you be your best in today's changing world? Plus, why do men cheat? We get Dr. Phil's take on why successful men are willing to risk it all.
Dr. Phil is America's favorite tough-talking Texan. With his talk show already in its 11th season, Dr. Phil is famous for always giving it to you straight. Now, he's got a new book out called, "Life Code: The New Rules For Winning In The Real World," and he says it's a must-read for anyone who wants to succeed in today's world.
"If you learn the rules, then you can be as healthy and happy and vibrant as you ever were." -Dr. Phil
@katieshow A little Dr Phil can go a long way.Fan – mostly – in small doses!Envy his ability to cut thru the BS and tell it like it is!
— Robin R. Gladstein (@robingladstein) November 16, 2012
Dr. Phil says his new book should be read with the attitude, "sorry to hear it but glad to know it." In it, he talks a lot about BAITERs – people he says we all need watch out for. So what is a BAITER and how do you spot one?
"Don't do things that are not consistent with who you really are." -Dr. Phil
General David Petraeus resigned from the CIA this week after revealing he'd been having an extramarital affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell. While it may be heartbreaking to see a modern American hero fall from grace, unfortunately, he's just the latest in a long line of powerful men who've made similar mistakes. So why do men cheat, especially powerful men with so much to lose?
"I'm surprised that we keep acting surprised that this is a pattern." -Dr. Phil
@katieshow intersting how so many men compartmentalize cheating, and feel it doesn't speak to overall character. #Petraeus
— Cocoa Popps (@CocoaPopps) November 16, 2012
When the story about General Petraeus broke, Jill Di Donato wrote an explosive column in the Huffington Post in an effort to give "the other woman's" point of view. She had an affair with a married, high-profile man and sat down with Katie and Dr. Phil to give us her take.
"I felt tremendous shame. -Jill Di Donato"
Did you know that there is a website where married people can go to cheat? Noel Biderman founded the controversial site AshleyMadison.com because he says there is a demand for it.
"There's demand for heroin too, but you don't open a website an sell heroin." -Dr. Phil
@katieshow its sad that it tears up marriages/long term relationships, but if there wasn't a demand, sites like these wouldn't thrive/exist
— Sarah Chandrasekar (@Upscale_Mom) November 16, 2012
Who are the men and women on Ashley Madison and what has Noel discovered about when and why people cheat?
"Environment is an important driver for infidelity." -Noel Biderman
If Men feel unhappy in a marriage then get a Divorce? Don't stay And cheat. Hurting yourspouse and children. @katieshow

New London, Conn. - March 16, 2013 - The Springfield College baseball squad splits its season-opening doubleheader at Coast Guard on Saturday afternoon in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play. The Pride lost the first contest, 5-4, in seven innings before clipping the Bears, 2-1, in the nightcap.
It marked the first time since 2004 that Springfield has played its first game of the season on New England soil. The Pride are now 1-1 on the season, while the Bears own a 6-3 record.
Springfield and Coast Guard were slated to play on Sunday, but the game has been postponed. Springfield will now travel to Florida for its Spring Break trip where it will play seven games, including a three-game set with conference-foe MIT. In the first game, the Pride held a 4-2 advantage heading into the bottom of the seventh. However, sophomore Matt Hanks led off the seventh with a single to left field and was moved to second by classmate Blake Thompson's single to right to put the Bears in position to have a chance to tie the game. Following a strikeout, senior Eric Gerken stepped to the plate and reached on an error. The error allowed Hanks to score and set up runners on the corners with two outs for senior Nolan Gallagher. Gallagher lined a single into right field to plate the game tying run and put runners at first and second.
Senior Tyler Babkiewich beat out a double play on the next play to keep the inning alive with another first and third situation for Massaro, this time with two outs. After taking a first pitch ball, Babkiewich stole second before Massaro lined that caromed off Springfield's third baseman, allowing Gerken to be scored from third on the play and Coast Guard took game one by a 5-4 margin.
Senior Riley Beecher got the start in the first game, tossing six strong innings, allowing just one earned run (four total) on seven hits, while striking out four and walking three. Senior Tyler Vieira (1-0) came on in the seventh in relief, working a scoreless frame to pick up the win and help Beecher to a no-decision.
Springfield struck first in the top of the first. After junior Jared Hopkins reached third on a leadoff single (advancing on a two-base error by Beecher), senior Kyle DiFranco knocked him in on a sacrifice fly to center for an early 1-0 lead.
The Bears struck back almost immediately in the bottom of the inning. Babkiewich tripled to right field to drive home Gerken from first, and on the very next pitch Massaro hit a high fly ball to center to score Babkiewich.
Springfield got a run back in the second inning to even things back up at 2-2 before the pitching settled in for both sides. In the fifth, with the score still tied, junior Ryan Grower scored from third on a passed ball to break the deadlock. Springfield would add another in the sixth to go up 4-2, as Grower singled in pinch runner junior Louis Ballas from second.
In the nightcap, Springfield broke the ice on the scoring in the third. After a leadoff single and stolen base by junior Mike McGowan, Sean Smith grounded out to third. However, McGowan took off on the throw to first by Wood and Hanks' throw back across the diamond was wide of the bag and skidded into left field allowing McGowan to score.
The Bears rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the sixth. Gallagher led off with a walk. Following a fly out by Babkiewich, Gallagher stole second, and would come around to score a batter later on a single to left by Sella to tie the game at 1-1.
In the eighth, senior reliever Curt Barrett came in to face the middle of the Springfield lineup. McGowan led off by being hit with Barrett's first pitch. Smith then sacrificed him to second, while reaching himself, on an error by Barrett, who tried to bare-hand the bunt attempt.
Following a sacrifice attempt by sophomore Brent Poulin which turned out to be a well-placed bunt hit, Springfield found the bases loaded with no outs yet again. After sophomore Shane O'Leary flew out to right, freshman Billy Paskowski hit a sac fly to center to score McGowan with the eventual game-winning run.
Sophomore Jack Porter (1-0) picked up his first win in relief with McGowan claiming his first save of the season for the Pride. Barrett (1-1) suffered the loss for the Bears.
Despite pitching masterfully both Williams and Petty received no decisions for their efforts. Williams' final line was five innings, no runs, four hits, five strikeouts, and one walk. Petty finished with seven innings, one (unearned) run, five hits, four strikeouts, and two walks.

And — unlike in some other types of loss — they're faced with the challenge of finding justice for the person who took their loved one. Staying committed to that cause in the face of personal grief and anguish is a harrowing daily feat for far too many Americans. And doing so on behalf of an out and proud transgender family member is a sight too rarely witnessed, despite the high rates of anti-trans crimes. But one local woman has made a stand against violence on behalf of her transgender daughter and the countless number of transgender victims of violence — teaching the trans community, its supporters and its opponents the meaning and import of unconditional love.
Dawn Maher was shopping with her mother when a family member called to say something may have happened to her daughter, Kyra Cordova.
"I knew something was really wrong and when I arrived home to two police cars and saw the looks on their faces, I knew and I felt it in my heart," Maher told PGN in the fall.
Cordova's body was found in the early-morning hours of Sept. 3, Labor Day, in a wooded area off the 1100 block of Adams Avenue in Frankford. She had been shot in the head. Because she had no identification on her, it took police several days to get word out to the family.
Cordova, 27, grew up in Hatfield and graduated from North Penn High School. She had been living in Philadelphia for about five years and worked for a time, first as a volunteer and later as a staff tester, for the Gay and Lesbian Latino AIDS Education Initiative. She was also involved with relaunching and co-facilitating a trans group at The Attic Youth Center.
Days after the family and the community was notified of the murder, on Sept. 13, trans-advocacy group Blitz organized a memorial at William Way LGBT Community Center. About 400 people attended, including Maher, her sister Rhonda and other family members, who led a candelight vigil.
GALAEI executive director Elicia Gonzales said she first met Maher at the vigil and was impressed by her selflessness.
"From the very beginning, she was just very embracing and friendly and didn't really think of herself at all in the equation, from early on," Gonzales said. "People would ask, 'How are you doing, how are you holding up?' and she was determined from the beginning to make sure the focus stayed on Kyra and on finding justice for Kyra. That was very impressive."
Blitz community liaison Tammyrae Barr said she also met Maher at the vigil.
She was struck by Maher's eagerness to embrace her daughter's community.
"Dawn exhibited resilience and sought to understand the community that her child was living amongst," Barr said. "Those that truly know the trans*community of Philadelphia know that we are a highly divided group. Yet here was a parent seeking answers and justice for her child and I for one could not step away."
Even though Maher had never been a very active trans ally, Barr said her willingness to learn all she could, and quickly, demonstrated "that she does truly care."
Maher's pursuance of justice has made her a well-known face to many in the trans and ally community.
She was present at all of this fall's Justice for Kyra meetings, organized by family, friends and supporters to press for an arrest and to mobilize against anti-trans violence.
Gonzales noted that, even though Maher had to drive an hour to the meetings, she was on time for each one, even bringing food to share with the group. When supporters suggested moving the meetings closer to Maher's suburban location, Gonzales said she refused, unwilling to inconvenience any of the local supporters.
She went door-to-door in the neighborhood where the murder took place, handing out fliers seeking information.
Maher, her family and Justice for Kyra leaders met with an array of police officials in October, including the homicide captain and Commissioner Charles Ramsey.
Gloria Casarez, director of LGBT affairs, was present for the meeting and said that, while the discussion was spurred by Kyra's murder, Maher was interested in taking it beyond her daughter.
"What I really respect about Dawn, and about her sister, is that they're focused on finding who did this to Kyra and why, but also about the next Kyra and about the Kyra before," Casarez said.
She added that the family was dismayed that police initially seemed to lack an understanding of and sensitivity to the trans community, which Maher addressed.
"Dawn was the driving force behind this meeting and, while the focus was on getting information on Kyra's case, most of that happened privately afterwards with detectives, and the meeting was really about what can be done better next time. She wants justice for Kyra but she knows there's going to be another Kyra and she doesn't want the same mistakes happening. She sees the big picture."
Maher and her sister attended a number of Transgender Day of Remembrance events in November, where Casarez gave her a copy of the city proclamation recognizing TDOR, which mentioned Cordova.
Gonzales said Maher's involvement in both the case and the community stems from her innate love for her daughter.
"She was accepting of Kyra when she first came out as gay when she was younger and she was accepting when she came out as trans," she said. "She's gone on trying to find her murderer and she's gotten so involved in the community while dealing with her daughter's murder, and I think that speaks volumes. She's not just accepting, she's affirming and she's become an advocate for all of the folks in our community."
Maher told PGN that while it took her some time to embrace her daughter's identity, she ultimately saw that it was a natural part of her life.
"I know for Kyra it was who she had to become, not only mentally but physically," Maher told PGN. "She didn't become a different person on the inside; she just became who she was truly meant to become on the outside."
Such an attitude is not held enough by family members of many in the trans community, Casarez said.
"To see a family that loved their daughter, their niece, their granddaughter more than anything, it's really hard to put into words what that does," she said. "Dawn was able to see past the things that many families get hung up on and was able to see that this is just who Kyra is. It's clear love trumps anything she may not fully understand yet."
Barr said Maher is an example of a "parent learning that her child touched the hearts of many, created her own community family, volunteered, worked and survived a world that does not cater to the true diversity of its people. I see her trying, and so many people just don't."
Maher has emerged as a mother figure for many in the community, Gonzales said, noting that friends and supporters of Cordova often refer to Maher as "Momma Dawn."
She visited residents at Morris Home, a residential treatment facility for trans- and gender-variant people, at Thanksgiving, and invited friends of Cordova's to stay at her house over Christmas.
"For a lot of community members, both trans and LGB, there's that family component missing," Casarez said. "People are really responding to her. It may be because they haven't had that acceptance in their lives and they're really appreciative to have someone like her who's so warm. If we had more mothers like Dawn, and more families like Kyra's aunt and grandmother, we'd have a lot less isolation and desperation out there."
Casarez said she noticed that whenever a community member has come up to Maher to thank her for her involvement, she has responded, "No, thank you."
She said that exchange embodies that, while Maher's presence has been healing for the community, the community has also been a healing presence for Maher.
"She's shown an interest in getting to know the people who knew Kyra, and I think knowing these folks helps her see another side of her child. She can see Kyra's life in her friends and I think that's been important," Casarez said. "And on the community side, it's important for us to see where Kyra came from, that she had a loving family. I can see where Kyra got her uniqueness because they're all great people. Dawn is attached to the community now, and people need her. I think we need her as much as she needs us."
Despite the frustration in the progress of the investigation, Gonzales said supporters should take heart in the hope that figures like Maher represent for the community.
"It's a true demonstration of motherhood, in its purest form — unconditional love of your child."

The Memphis Grizzlies announced Zach Randolph will be out for 6-8 weeks with a torn MCL, Yahoo! Sports' Marc Spears reported today. The injury happened Sunday and was thought to be just a contusion, but obviously tests have confirmed that it's far worse than originally feared.
The Grizzlies are already missing their backup forward, Darrell Arthur, who suffered a season-ending knee injury during preseason practice. Losing Arthur hurt back then; losing Randolph, the team's best player and the MVP of Memphis' stunning playoff run last year, could prove crippling. Especially given the compressed schedule.
In a normal NBA season, missing 6-8 weeks would be bad. With this year's schedule, though, there are more games crammed into each week, meaning that prolonged injuries will hit teams harder than ever. And with Arthur gone for the year and now Randolph gone till around the All-Star game, no team is getting hit harder by injuries than the Memphis Grizzlies.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight Melvin Guillard may have the most up-and-down track record of any 155-pound fighter in the history of the organization.
After putting together five-straight wins from the beginning of 2010 to mid-2011, Guillard was seemingly at the peak of his career and on the verge of a title shot in the lightweight division. Then he ran into Joe Lauzon.
"J-Lau" stopped Guillard by submission in just 47-seconds at UFC 135, bringing an abrupt end to momentum of the 29-year-old. Another submission loss to Jim Miller followed, then a lackluster victory over Fabricio Camoes, then, most recently, back-to-back defeats to WEC veterans Donald Cerrone and Jamie Varner.
That leaves "The Young Assassin" with a record of 1-4 in his past five fights, a streak that, for most fighters, would be grounds for walking papers from the UFC.
Are the recent misfortunes of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 2 cast member enough to get him released from the UFC? The company's president is undecided.
"You're asking me where he is, I don't know, as far as being cut. We'll talk to the boys and see," UFC President Dana White told media members about Guillard following the UFC 155 post-fight press conference on Dec. 29 in Las Vegas.
Guillard has been with the UFC since his appearance on TUF 2, going 11-8 inside the Octagon dating back to 2005. The Louisiana native has been inconsistent in the cage, but he is best known for his tremendous knockout abilities, which he has showcased on several occasions.
In his most recent defeat to Varner at UFC 155 last month, Guillard did not fight with the same all-out, in-your-face style he usually brings to the cage - which was somewhat of a letdown to White.
"If you ever notice, when Melvin Guillard comes out with that explosive, tries to go after you and knock you out [mentality], he wins more fights than he loses," White said. "When he has that sit back and wait kind of style, he's just not as effective as he is when he lets it all go."
The one thing that may be Guillard's saving grace for at least a few more fights is the fact he has a reputation of being one of the most exciting fighters in the history of the UFC lightweight division, a fact proven by his four fight-night bonuses.
White has said time and time again that if his fighters come out and give it their all every time, they will have job security. Guillard, for the most part, is one of the those guys, and White respects his style of fighting opposed to other less exciting fighters the UFC president would like to release even after a win.
"I always say it, the guys who go and lay it all out on the line, those are the guys we like to have," White said in closing. "Believe me, there's a lot of guys who love to do that push against the cage [expletive] all night that I'd love to cut on a win."
Guillard may not ever be a UFC champion, but he is certainly a valuable member of the roster. Guillard can test the up-and-comers in the division and give tough fights event to the elite. Moveover, it would be in the UFC's best interest to keep "The Young Assassin" under contract and away from growing promotions such as Bellator MMA.
No news of Guillard's official release from the UFC has surfaced yet, so it's safe to assume he will be given at least one more crack.

With Jerome Simpson's NFL future in question after his Jan. 19 indictment on marijuana trafficking charges, the Bengals' need to add to their WR corps becomes all the more clear. Simpson is an unrestricted free agent, so his return to Cincinnati wasn't assured even in the best of circumstances. Moreover, Simpson was inconsistent in his first full season as a starter. Reserve Andre Caldwell also will be a free agent. In addition to the prospect of a prison sentence of 1-5 years, Simpson also would face NFL discipline in connection with a finding of guilt or a guilty plea.
The Bengals have had their share of strong starting WR combinations over the years, with the Chad Ochocinco-T.J. Houshmandzadeh pairing the most recent one-two punch with some staying power. If Simpson isn't back, it will be interesting to see how the Bengals replace him. While A.J. Green is the unquestioned go-to guy, the club surely could use a complementary receiver that the opposition must respect.

Global Agenda Council on Emerging Technologies 2012-2014
The challenge
New technology is arriving faster than ever and holds the promise of solving many of the world's most pressing challenges, such as food and water security, energy sustainability and personalized medicine. In the past year alone, 3D printing has been used for medical purposes; lighter, cheaper and flexible electronics made from organic materials have found practical applications; and drugs that use nanotechnology and can be delivered at the molecular level have been developed in medical labs. Uninformed public opinion, outdated government and intergovernmental regulations, and inadequate existing funding models for research and development are the greatest challenges in effectively moving new technologies from the research lab to people's lives.
What the Council is doing about it
To positively influence the public perception on emerging technologies, the Council publishes a list of 10 technologies that currently appear to hold the most promise for addressing global challenges. "The Top 10 Emerging Technologies for 2013" became the most popular blog post in the history of the World Economic Forum, attracting more than 40,000 readers within a week of its publication. It was picked up by mainstream media publications (The Washington Post, MIT Technology Review and El Mundo) and was popular on social media. The Council was also a major contributor to the Forum's "New Energy Harnessing" project, which aims to identify new technologies that can efficiently harness and store energy. Finally, the Council has been putting effort into creating a Centre for Emerging Technology Intelligence under the auspices of neutral hub organizations in the Americas, Europe and Asia to produce a coherent, informed prospectus on the development and use of emerging technologies and their implications for society.
"In the past year alone, 3D printing has been used for medical purposes; lighter, cheaper and flexible electronics made from organic materials have found practical applications; and drugs that use nanotechnology and can be delivered at the molecular level have been developed in medical labs."
For the remainder of this term, the Council will aim to:
- Raise awareness on the promise of certain technologies in order to highlight the importance of dealing with the challenges
- Better inform regulators and business leaders about what must be done to overcome the challenges
- Identify and advocate for new funding models that will enable technological innovation to address the world's most pressing challenges, such as the mitigation of and adaptation to climate change and water/food/energy scarcity

Next Call of Duty Due This Year on PC, Consoles; Takes Place in 'New Military Theater'By Chris Faylor, May 09, 2008 7:17am PDT The next entry in the Activision-owned wartime shooting franchise Call of Duty will take place in a "new military theater," according to Activision Publishing CEO and president Mike Griffith.
Speaking during a conference call yesterday, Griffith said that the unnamed sequel, which many unofficially refer to as Call of Duty 5, will arrive on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, and Nintendo DS later this year.
The CEO did not elaborate further on the game's setting. His comments suggest that, contrary to past reports, the title may not return to the World War II setting featured in the first three Call of Duty titles.
As pointed out by Gamasutra, no details were provided as to which studio is developing the game. Job listings have indicated that Call of Duty 3 developer Treyarch may be returning to the franchise, with speculation that series creator and Call of Duty 4 developer Infinity Ward is already working on Call of Duty 6.

By: Mahalie x Show Full PostI don't see the necessity of another Call of Duty so soon, particularly if Infinity Ward isn't working on it.

As long as it keeps the feel of CoD. I still play CoD2 and I really enjoy the WWII genre of FPS games. Unlike others, I haven't grown tired of WWII, it's one of my favourite FPS themes and as long as it's done well, it shouldn't bring on the "omg another wwII game..ugh" comments.

Ayala now on Angels' radar
The Angels have expressed interest in free-agent reliever Luis Ayala, a source with knowledge of the situation told MLB.com. Right now, though, it appears they're one of four clubs interested in giving the 34-year-old right-hander a big league contract, an industry source said.
Ayala signed a Minor League deal with the Yankees last February and had a big bounce-back year, posting a 2.09 ERA and a 1.268 WHIP in 56 innings (spanning 52 appearances). For his big league career, he has a 3.47 ERA and a 1.286 WHIP in seven seasons.
Ayala has been lights out while pitching for the Yaquis de Obregon of the Mexican winter league this offseason, giving up just two earned runs in 19 2/3 innings (good for an ERA of 0.92) while striking out 13 batters and walking four. A report out of Mexico said Ayala was choosing between the Angels and Orioles, but a source said that of Saturday, teams hadn't begun tendering formal offers.
The Angels signed veteran reliever LaTroy Hawkins to a $3 million contract in December and are looking to add more depth to a bullpen that was tied for the American League lead in blown saves last season. Ayala could be drawn to Southern California because of its strong Mexican-American presence and its close proximities to Ayala's native country.

Performances of the play about a seamstress who serves rich folk and outsiders alike, while facing the affections of two men, will play Nov. 6-Dec. 2. Opening night is Nov. 11. Single tickets are now on sale.
Nottage won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Ruined, and also penned By the Way, Meet Vera Stark.
According to Pasadena Playhouse notes, "In Intimate Apparel, the time is 1905 in New York City and Esther [Vanessa Williams, of "Soul Food" and "Melrose Place"], a middle-aged black seamstress, has learned to make ends meet by teaching herself to sew beautiful and delicate lingerie for her uptown and downtown clientele. After nearly two decades of loneliness and watching the younger and prettier girls come and go in the boarding house she rents from, Esther finds solace and possible romance in letters from George [David St. Louis], a handsome, young Caribbean man working on the Panama Canal. Re-energized by his affectionate words, but hindered by illiteracy, Esther confides in two of her patrons, Mrs. Van Buren [Angel Reda], a rich white socialite, and Mayme [Kristy Johnson], a prostitute, to pen her letters back to George. Meanwhile, Esther's heart also seems to lie with Mr. Marks [Adam J. Smith], the Hasidic shopkeeper who relishes in sharing his exquisite finds of satins and silks and has also grown increasingly fond of Esther." Dawnn Lewis plays Mrs. Dickinson.

Good Hit, Bad Hit: Abuse of Girls in Sports
I might not remember what it felt like learning that I had passed my black belt test, but I do remember the first time my instructor asked me whether I had the 'hots' for another student.
I told him I didn't want to discuss it. So he put me in a headlock so that I couldn't breathe and told me that good Tae Kwon Do students always do what "teacher" says. When he released me, I said, "Yes, sir."

Superbowl Open Thread
I only kinda halfway watched it because being out watching the Superbowl is a Thing You Must Do, but I did pay attention to the halftime show. Beyonce! Wow. Beyonce. You are a superstar for a reason and I love you and want to be you and I am so glad you never wear pants because there is absolutely no reason for you to ever wear pants. 2013 is really her year, huh? Inauguration and the Superbowl? Not bad. I did not watch the commercials, although I saw that Audi one this morning and I agree with Amanda that it is gross. No, kissing someone isn't rape, but walking up to a virtual stranger and planting a kiss on her because she's hot and you're "brave" isn't really treating her like a person who should have some say in who she wants to kiss. It's treating her like she's an accoutrement to your sweet life, like that car. But as Amanda points out, it is forever fascinating that there exist "gross dudes who will die on the hill of claiming that creeping on women and forcing yourself on them is a legitimate form of flirting." What did you all think? About the game or the commercials or Queen B or the lights going out because Beyonce is just too bright or whatever?...read more

The Worst Republican Senate Candidates of 2010, Part 1
by Inoljt, Sun Jan 09, 2011 at 10:44:10 AM EST
This is the first part of two posts analyzing patterns in the 2010 Senate midterm elections. The second part can be found here.
The 2010 congressional midterm elections constituted, by and large, a victory for the Republican Party. In the Senate Republicans gained six seats. While this was somewhat below expectations, it was much better than Republican hopes just after 2008 – when many expected the party to actually lose seats. The Senate results provide some interesting fodder for analysis. The table below indicates which Republicans Senate candidates did the worst in 2008. It does so by taking the Republican margin of victory or defeat in a given state and subtracting this by the Cook PVI of the state (the Cook PVI is how a state would be expected to vote in a presidential election in the event of an exact tie nationwide). Given that Republicans won the nationwide vote this year, the average Republican candidate would be expected to do better than the state's PVI. A bad Republican candidate would actually do worse than the state's PVI. Let's take a look at this table:
State Margin (R) Cook PVI Overperformance
South Dakota 100.00% 8.9% 91.10%
North Dakota 53.91% 10.4% 43.51%
Kansas 43.72% 11.5% 32.22%
Iowa 31.05% -1.0% 32.05%
Idaho 46.25% 17.4% 28.85%
Oklahoma 44.50% 16.9% 27.60%
Florida 28.69% 1.8% 26.89%
South Carolina 33.83% 7.8% 26.03%
New Hampshire 23.22% -1.6% 24.82%
Arizona 24.14% 6.1% 18.04%
Alabama 30.47% 13.2% 17.27%
Ohio 17.44% 0.7% 16.74%
Georgia 19.31% 6.8% 12.51%
Arkansas 20.96% 8.8% 12.16%
Missouri 13.60% 3.1% 10.50%
Illinois 1.60% -7.7% 9.30%
Louisiana 18.88% 9.7% 9.18%
Utah 28.79% 20.2% 8.59%
Indiana 14.58% 6.2% 8.38%
North Carolina 11.77% 4.3% 7.47%
Wisconsin 4.84% -2.4% 7.24%
Pennsylvania 2.02% -2.0% 4.02%
Kentucky 11.47% 10.4% 1.07%
Washington -4.73% -5.0% 0.27%
Alaska 11.94% 13.4% -1.46%
Colorado -1.63% 0.2% -1.83%
California -10.01% -7.4% -2.61%
Nevada -5.74% -1.3% -4.44%
Connecticut -11.94% -7.1% -4.84%
Delaware -16.58% -7.0% -9.58%
Oregon -17.98% -4.0% -13.98%
New York (S) -27.84% -10.2% -17.64%
Maryland -26.44% -8.5% -17.94%
West Virginia -10.07% 7.9% -17.97%
Vermont -33.41% -13.4% -20.01%
New York -34.10% -10.2% -23.90%
Hawaii -53.24% -12.5% -40.74%
Total/Average 5.54% 2.3% 8.08%
(Note: The data in Alaska and Florida refer to the official candidates nominated by the parties, not the independent candidates – Senator Lisa Murkowski and Governor Charlie Crist – who ran in the respective states).
This table reveals some fascinating trends. There is a very clear pattern: the worst Republican candidates ran in the bluest states – and the bluer the state, the more the Republican underperformed. This does not just mean that these Republicans lost, but that they lost by more than the average Republican was supposed to in the state. Republican candidates did worse than the state's PVI in thirteen states; nine of these states had a Democratic PVI.
There seems to be a PVI tipping point at which Republicans start underperforming: when a state is more than 5% Democratic than the nation (PVI D+5). Only one Republican in the nine states that fit this category overperformed the state PVI (Senator Mark Kirk of Illinois ).
Something is puzzling about this pattern. It is true that states like Connecticut or Maryland will probably vote Democratic even in Republican victories. The Cook PVI predicts that Democrats will win by X% in the event of a national tie in the popular vote. One would thus have expected Republican candidates to do better than this in 2010, given that 2010 was the strongest Republican performance in a generation.
Yet this did not happen. In a lot of blue states Democrats actually did better than the Cook PVI would project them to do - that is, said blue states behaved like the Democrats had actually won the popular vote, which they certainly did not in 2010. The bluer the state, the stronger this pattern.
There are a couple of reasons why this might be. The first thing that comes to mind is the money and recruiting game. The Republican Party, reasonably enough, does not expect its candidates to win in places like New York and Maryland . So it puts less effort into Republican candidates in those states. They get less money – and therefore less advertising, less ground game, and so on. Nobody had any idea who the Republican candidate in Vermont was, for instance. That probably contributes to Republican underperformance in deep-blue states.
The second factor might be a flaw in the model the table uses. Democratic and Republican strongholds, for whatever reason, behave differently from "uniform swing" models. In almost all the counties President Barack Obama won, for instance, he improved upon President Bill Clinton 1992 and 1996 performance – despite the fact that Mr. Clinton won by similar margins in the popular vote. This holds true from San Francisco to rural Mississippi . In the 2010 Massachusetts special Senate election, the most Democratic areas of Massachusetts swung least towards Republican Senator Scott Brown. The fact that the worst Republican candidates ran in the bluest states fits the pattern.
The table presents another startling pattern, which will be discussed in the next post: there are surprisingly few Republicans who did worse than they were supposed to in red states.

Tom Brady has been maybe the third-most impressive quarterback of the 2011 NFL season, behind Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers, but Brady's time in New England's pass-happy offense is likely to be remembered very fondly by Patriots fans, especially ones with no love for the Miami Dolphins. Brady surpassed Dan Marino's old NFL record for passing yards in a single season in Week 17, throwing for 338 yards to finish with 5,235 yards on the season, better than Marino's 5,084 yards from 1984.
Brady only moved into second place on the all-time list with that performance, because Brees, who broke Marino's record in Week 16, put even more yardage on his ticker in Week 17 with an 389-yard performance in a rout of the Carolina Panthers. But Brady has had better years — in a couple of respects; Brady topped Marino's single-season touchdown record, previously smashed by Peyton Manning, with 50 scoring strikes in 2007 — than the best year one of the best quarterbacks ever.
That's certainly worth celebrating for Patriots fans.

Older consumers do. The young read privacy statements, but don't worry about privacy.
Amazon's Privacy Statement and Terms of Use run about 6,200 words—that's about 14 single-spaced pages. To make a purchase on Amazon.com, you are not required to read these terms, but you are required to agree to them.
Amazon is by no means unique in this area—all e-commerce sites include acceptance of terms and conditions as part of doing business. The question is: Do consumers understand what they are agreeing to? Moreover, do they care?
Etailing Solutions recently conducted a survey of 176 online shoppers to better understand consumer attitudes about privacy and online shopping. Here are some key takeaways:
privacy statements on websites where they shop.
Some of these findings make sense. Digital-from-birth Millennials are understandably comfortable with the idea of sharing personal information. After all, they are the ones whose fondness for living in public have made Facebook and Twitter household names.
Conversely, Baby Boomers who have been around long before WWW and "@" were commonplace might be a bit skeptical of marketers that claim to be collecting personal information in order to "provide a more relevant shopping experience." Boomers have enough real-world experience to understand how the lack of vigilance over their personal information can lead to credit card fraud, identity theft and a host of other really nasty experiences.
What is as interesting as it is concerning is that the strong privacy sentiments of Boomers does not necessarily translate into action. (Wasn't this the group that railed against apathy in the 60's?) This group should be savvy enough to understand what is at stake. But for many, the debate about whether or not marketers should be able to use personal data is akin to whether or not there is life on Mars: Everyone has an opinion, but few actually take any action as a result of that opinion.
So for now, the majority of consumers rely on the hope that marketers will go about their business carefully and ethically. It makes me wonder if I am the only person who took the time to read Google's comment at the end of its Terms of Service Update:

---- — TOPSFIELD — In terms of shooting, passing and the other physical skills of basketball, the Masconomet girls know they can hang with the other top Division 1 teams in the state.
But with Cambridge visiting last night, the Chieftains needed to rely on a different skill — one they hadn't fully developed during the regular season.
After dropping close games to Pentucket and Lynn English at the end of the regular season, Masco blew a double-digit lead and found itself tied with the Falcons in the final 1:30 of its North Division 1 first round game. The Chieftains responded immediately with a back-door layup by Claudia Marsh and held on for the 64-62 win in what was a very physical game.
"I really think winning a close game is a skill, as much as any part of this game," explained Masco (16-5) head coach Bob Romeo. "It's a
mental skill and hopefully we learned that mental skill tonight."
Cambridge looked to establish two things early on — Georgia Tech bound Donnaizha Fountain and a physical tone. The Falcons accomplished the second goal but tremendous defense on Fountain by sophomore Meghan Collins (18 points) mixed with intense full-court pressure from Hannah Kiernan, Nicole Femino and Claudia Marsh really muddled the Cambridge offense.
Masco forced turnovers that led to easy lay-ups and open shot opportunities to build a 20-point, second-quarter lead. Femino (16
points), Marsh (21 points) and Hannah Kiernan (nine points) carried the offense in the first half before Cambridge battled its way back
with some hot shooting from downtown.
"We just had to get the girls to settle down," said Falcons head coach Dana Ellcock. "It was a great atmosphere and we knew the importance of the game. Turnovers have plagued us all season long. But our girls never quit."
That theme carried into the third quarter when the lead was cut to three. Masco pushed it back up to 15 points by the end of the third quarter when Fountain was on the bench in foul trouble.
"We told the team coming in that Cambridge plays a very city-style, physical basketball," Romeo said. "We thought we could run on them and we did early, but they stopped us from running in the second half."
Fountain really went to work in the fourth quarter and started converting from the charity stripe the way she had been from long range. Fountain hit five three-pointers, four of them contested and finished with a game-high 28 points.
The only player who matched Fountain's offensive aggressiveness was the girl tasked with covering her. When Masco couldn't score for
stretches in the second half, Collins took the initiative and drove to the hoop possession after possession.
Collins scored 13 of the Chieftains' 28 second half points.
"She never comes off the floor and you can see the kind of competitor she is," Romeo said of Collins. "She wants to go to the rim and she wants to make plays. You need kids who want to make plays. They don't make them all, but you need kids who want to make plays."
It was a big confidence boost for a sophomore that's showing more and more of it every time on the court. The win was also a boost for the team's confidence, which will need to be sky-high for Saturday's quarterfinal matchup against second-seeded Billerica.
