Serena Williams
The Williams sisters will go down in history not only for reinvigorating a tradition-bound (and typically Waspy) sport—with their power, their thunder-bolt serves, and their charisma—but for bringing high fashion to the baseline. As teenagers making their debut as professionals in the late 1990s, they were the talk of the circuit with their colorfully beaded cornrows, and they have captured the public imagination ever since, serving up unconventional style (from body-hugging black catsuits to supersize bling) in this most conventional setting.
Serena, in particular, has made it a habit to introduce a surprising new head-to-toe look when walking onto the court for a big match. At red-carpet events, too, her choices are usually supersexy, typically a sleeveless dress with a plunging neckline that flaunts her ample cleavage and muscles. Beauty and apparel companies, from Puma to OPI, have lined up to sign her as their representative. She's been a regular at runway shows, sitting front row at Vera Wang and Rodarte (where she has been joined by Vogue's Anna Wintour). And she's very busy on the social circuit as well, having been linked to the rappers Common and Drake as well as Brett Ratner, the director of Rush Hour.What makes her such a magnet is, no doubt, her terrific confidence; it sometimes borders on the brash. "Power is in an attitude, a presence, a mind-set," she told Vogue in 2001. "But a 130-mile-per-hour serve doesn't hurt either."[2] Although her strong attitude has occasionally drawn criticism from fellow players and fans (as when she indulged in a particularly cringe-worthy freak-out over a foot fault during the 2009 U.S. Open semifinals), it is also what drives her to new heights with each tennis, and fashion, season.
Serena Jameka Williams born in Saginaw, Michigan, the youngest of five girls. Williams patriarch Richard will relocate the family to Compton, California, where he establishes a security-guard business. When Serena and her sister, Venus, are still little, their dad—son of a Louisiana cotton-picker—catches a women's tennis match on television and is stunned by the prize money: $30,000, more than he earns in a year. He teaches himself, then his wife and children, the game.
Picks up a racket. Her first opponent is sister Venus, fifteen months her senior. Serena's parents later predict that Venus will reach number one in the world and that Serena will be an even better player.
The Williamses leave behind crime-ridden Compton for West Palm Beach, Florida, where Serena and Venus train with Rick Macci, renowned for grooming many major talents.
Boasts a 46–3 record in the USTA junior tour and is ranked number one in the Florida's Under 10 division. Father Richard notes the cutthroat competitiveness and demanding schedule of the kids' circuit and decides to pull her out.
Returns to her father's coaching. "Everyone does different things," she later says of her unconventional training. "I think for Venus and I, we just tried a different road, and it worked for us."[3] Premieres professionally at Québec City's Bell Challenge, where she loses in under an hour in a first-round qualifying match, but picks up her first paycheck of $240.
Sits out the year, focusing on school. Her parents stress the importance of academics, especially for creating a post-tennis career.
Upsets fourth seed Monica Seles at a Chicago tourney before losing to Lindsay Davenport in the semifinals. Ends the year ranked 99 in the world.
Signs a five-year deal with Puma, with the potential to rake in $12 million. Takes revenge on Lindsay Davenport, beating the number-three seed in Sydney. January: Plays in her inaugural grand slam at the Australian Open—her first professional match against her sister—losing to Venus in the second round. May: Annie Leibovitz photographs her with Venus for Vogue; they wear matching black-and-white striped Carolina Herrera scoop-neck ball dresses and coordinated hair beads. Writer Julia Reed trails the teens during a mall shopping spree; the sisters show off the "hair emergency kits,"[4] stocked with extra beads and spiral headbands, stashed in their tennis bags.
January: Reaches number 20 in the world. May: The unstoppable sisters win doubles on the Paris leg of the grand slam tour, but Serena is stopped early in the singles competition by Mary Joe Fernandez. June: An injury keeps the eighteen-year-old from donning her whites for Wimbledon. September: She wins her first major at the U.S. Open, pocketing more than $2 million. Collecting her trophy in a $56 yellow Puma tank dress, Serena makes the garment an instant bestseller at the brand's Santa Monica, California, outpost.
Grabs attention with tie-dye tennis dresses at the U.S. Open; consumer demand is so strong that Puma decides to produce the looks, previously not intended for the mass market. In June, the sisters take the doubles title at Wimbledon, in two decisive sets, 6–3, 6–2.
March: Photographed with Venus by Bruce Weber for Vogue's Power Issue. Writer James Kaplan notes in the accompanying article that the girls "perk up when the subject turns from tennis to Prada and Gucci." Discussing her outside ambitions, Serena tells Vogue, "If I wasn't playing tennis, I'd probably be almost finished with school and close to being a designer by now."[5] August: Vogue documents the tennis teen's "stylish sportif minis" and "head-turning patterns and embroideries"[6] for its Age Issue.
Pulls off the "Serena Slam," winning within twelve months the French Open, Wimbledon, U.S. Open, and, in 2003, the Australian Open. Each time, she beats Venus in the much-watched final round. August: Previews a few of her Puma looks at the SoHo flagship. Enters Arthur Ashe Stadium at the U.S. Open wearing a Puma black one-piece catsuit, long blonde ponytail, and pink headband. December: Decked out in a black gown and snow-white fur stole at Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year ceremony, discusses development of her new eveningwear label with WWD.
April: Flaunts her famous curves poolside in a neck-plunging, custom-made moonlight-silk Vera Wang dress for Vogue's Shape Issue, shot by Annie Leibovitz. "I don't want to be blonde anymore. Blondes get taken advantage of," she jokes to the reporter, who visits her estate in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and views her gargantuan closet. It is immaculately organized, with sections for coats, bags ("Every time I buy one, I must have the matching wallet"[7]), and a wall of shoes. September: Yetunde Price, her sister and personal assistant, dies, shot by a Crips gang member in Compton. October: Williams is honored with the Celebrity Role Model Award at Avon's Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer gala, which raises $2.3 million for research.
June: Launches Aneres (Serena spelled backward), her first fashion line. It raises funds for cancer research and youth outreach. September: Vogue columnist André Leon Talley escorts her to Oscar de la Renta's studio, where the designer presents her with a white crocheted tennis dress that will later appear on his spring runway. "I could look at fabrics for hours,"[8] she confesses to de la Renta, whose work she greatly admires.
After a few injury-related setbacks for both sisters, Serena shoots down any predictions that the her reign is over, taking her second Australian Open singles title, for a total of seven grand-slam individual wins. Moves back up the ranks to number two, hungrily eyeing the top spot currently owned by Lindsay Davenport.
Still suffering the emotional effects of Yetunde Price's death, sinks lower in the rankings. Addresses the court at the sentencing of her sister's killer, who gets a fifteen-year term.
An earlier thumb injury further shakes her confidence. Fast-on-her-feet Belgian Justine Henin has pushed her aside, dominating the majors. Serena, however, makes a stunning comeback: As the Observer later reports, she turns up to the Australian Open "overweight, out of practice, and ranked just 81 in the world, having spent most of the previous three years away from the game, battling the depression that engulfed her following the murder of her older sister Yetunde"[9]—but she still stuns Maria Sharapova, for the win.
June: Warms up on Centre Court at Wimbledon wearing a white trench coat fastened with a wide belt. "It's a very lightweight fabric," she says. "It's woven so it has a little give in it as well. On the inside it's stitched with gold. . . . It's just delectable."[10] August: In black-and-white ensembles, Venus and Serena net gold in doubles at the Beijing Olympic Games, easily overtaking Anabel Medina Garrigues and Virginia Ruano Pascual of Spain in two brief sets.
January: Breaks the record for female athlete prize money, earning close to $23 million, not including endorsements for Nike, Nabisco, and Gatorade. Overpowers Russian hothead Marat Safin's younger sister, Dinara Safina, in a swift 59 minutes at the Australian Open. March: Collaborates with Home Shopping Network on Signature Statement, her newest collection of clothing and accessories, priced from $29.95 to $100. May: Talks to Vogue about Mission, her eco-friendly line of skin-care products. September: In an emotional display, shoots off an expletive-laced tirade at a U.S. Open line judge when challenging a match-point foot fault in the semifinals. According to CBS footage that is not broadcast, Williams threatens to shove a tennis ball down the official's throat. A referee calls a code violation against the champ, who's forced to forfeit the late-night face-off to Belgian Kim Clijsters and is escorted from the Flushing Meadows premises by eight USTA security guards. Replays later reveal that during that controversial second serve, her toes never crossed the baseline. December: Rebounds from this professional low by ending the year back at number one.
July: Has a little too much fun kicking up—and off—her heels at a Munich boîte, steps on shards of glass, and needs twelves stitches on her right foot, six on her left . . . and several months off from the tour. August: The aspiring manicure-salon mogul paints Vogue contributing editor Marina Rust's nails with Essie's Mini How High, a sheer pink, on the terrace of Palm Beach's Omphoy hotel. "Flo Jo had these long, awesome nails,"[11] Williams says of her muse, Florence Griffith Joyner. September: Makes the rounds of SoHo stores during Fashion's Night Out on the arm of Vogue man about town André Leon Talley. With designer Diane von Furstenberg looking on, walks in LaQuan Smith's Versailles-inspired, fifteen-look show at the Peninsula Hotel during New York Fashion Week.
January: Teams with OPI for its Glam Slam collection of polishes. Among the shades are an iridescent chartreuse called Simply Smashing and Black Shatter, a crackly top coat. June: Vogue.com highlights the history of women's tennis fashion over the last century. Williams's most memorable at-the-net looks include (from 2010, at the French Open) an azure tank with tutu frills, neon-green hot pants and headwrap, and a pavé diamond pendant.
May: Endorses Sleep Sheets, melatonin-laced strips that melt in your mouth. Tells reporters at the launch that she has "given up on dating . . . for about the next decade."[12] June: Graces the cover of Vogue in a Michael Kors maillot, with fellow London summer-Olympics hopefuls swimmer Ryan Lochte and soccer goalie Hope Solo.

If I knew anything about statistics — i.e., the kind they tried to teach you in college — I'd come up with a useful matrix to figure out the greatest standard deviation among fantasy prospects entering the 2012.
In layman's terms, which I am best served sticking to, it means how varied people value certain players.
There is plenty of consensus with fantasy football drafts. You just know where certain guys are going to be picked.
But there always are mystery players who change the course of drafts. Players whose values are tricky to evaluate and are almost certain to go far earlier or later than expected.
Here are five players who fall into that category:
Redskins QB Robert Griffin III — Some like him as a top-six or seven quarterback because of his running ability, which often gives a hidden boost. They'll point to Cam Newton, who ranked third among all players in PFW's scoring system in 2011, and say that Newton has that same type of potential. Indeed. But we don't know how well he can throw it consistently with a group of receivers that must prove itself. Based on early results, it appears that Griffin is being drafted anywhere from Round Four or Five in some leagues all the way to the eighth or ninth round in others. On the high end, that means people see him as a weekly starter; on the low side of the spectrum, he's being viewed as a weekly coin flip with another QB. There also is an injury factor that exists with Griffin. He's not as physically strong as Newton or Tim Tebow or as elusive (scouts say he's more of a straight-line runner) as Michael Vick. But you'd be in good shape considering Griffin as a strong starter if you anchor him with a solid backup QB.
Best place to draft Griffin: Between 70-80 overall, just after Matt Ryan and Jay Cutler but well before Matt Schaub or Josh Freeman.
Vikings RB Adrian Peterson — Injured or not? Healthy, Peterson is a top-five overall pick. Has been for years. But coming off a torn ACL in December, his value has sunk. Just how far? Initially, Peterson was being rated as a fourth-round fantasy pick or lower — one national fantasy writer had him ranked in the mid-30s among running backs — but he since has risen steadily as he insists he'll be back by Week One. That remains to be seen, and the Vikings will not risk one of their biggest investments by throwing Peterson out on the field too soon. They'll be very smart and measured with him. You should, too. Peterson has averaged missing 1.4 games per season in his five years in the pros. You might have to double that number and expect him to miss three this season. But when you consider his per-game averages of about 85 rushing yards and one TD the past three seasons, you do the math and figure out he'd put up around 1,250 yards and 13 TDs in a projected 13-game season. Is that worth a top-30 fantasy pick? You bet.
Best place to draft Peterson: Between 20-30 overall, right before the big run of wide receivers happens.
Dolphins RB Reggie Bush — You really have to admire Bush's 2011 season when you step back and look at it. He nearly doubled his previous high in rushing yards in a season and outgained in '11 what he did cumulatively in the three previous seasons. A big part of it was opportunity. It's not so much that Bush ran markedly better last season (5.0 yards per carry) than he had from 2008-'10 (4.5), but he performed well with a heavy workload, which some said he never could do in the NFL, and finished strong, with four of his five highest weekly rushing totals of the season in Weeks 13-16. The fact that he did so with inconsistent play all around him on offense — especially at quarterback — makes Bush's season all the more remarkable. But there is still that hesitation with him, still that concern about injury and aberration. As in, could he possibly do that again? If you take away Brandon Marshall from the Dolphins' offense and leave the QB situation murky, the doubt certainly grows. But Bush's confidence — he says he wants to lead the NFL in rushing yards — remains unchecked. Still, fantasy owners are right to keep some skepticism, and it should reflect in his draft status.
Best place to draft Bush: Between 50-65 overall, depending on how quickly the second wave of running backs goes in your draft.
49ers WR Randy Moss — Perhaps the biggest mystery of them all. Moss has reportedly lit it up in offseason workouts, and QB Alex Smith has said that Moss is their best receiver. It's an offense that could be kind to the long ball with the right weapons, but let's not lose sight of the fact that it's a power-run-setting-up-play-action system, not the other way around. And we certainly can't forget Moss' previous fall from excellence in which he went from the Patriots' most dangerous weapon to a player they traded for dimes on the dollar in midseason. The two other teams that had Moss on the roster that season, the Vikings and Titans, received little more than recalcitrance in return. Can Moss turn the beat around at age 35? Sure, he can. Will he? It's a big leap of faith. It's almost certain that Moss either will vastly outplay his aggregate fantasy draft status, or severely fall short of it. There will be no middle ground; Moss in his career either has been way up or way down. But that's why you have to be cautious when you consider him. That severe doubt factors in heavily to where he should be taken. If we're wrong, we'll admit it later.
Best place to draft Moss: Between 140-150 overall. You can't assume he'll start for you every week.
Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez — We must be in the era of the tight end. After all, when in recent memory has one team's second tight end been ranked so highly? Hernandez put up some gaudy numbers last season — tied for fifth among tight ends in receptions (79), fourth in yards (910), tied for fourth in TDs (seven), and he chipped in with a bonus 45 yards rushing and only one fumble. And yet people hesitate to draft him too high because of the Rob Gronkowski factor. Gronk stepped out so far in 2011 that people believe there's a natural cap to what Hernandez can contribute. But it's a flawed method of thinking because the Patriots play both players together so often, Hernandez is most often lined up as a detached receiver and the ball goes to the open man. Plus, there is an injury concern with Gronk — past back worries, the ankle from last year and his physical style — that could put him on the sideline at some point. The way the Patriots are looking at tight ends this offseason, you have to think they believe Gronk is prone to getting hurt, too. That opens the door for Hernandez to shine even more in 2012.
Best place to draft Hernandez: Between picks 50-60, behind Antonio Gates but just ahead of Vernon Davis and Jermichael Finley.

SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) -- Austria won the nations team event at the World Cup finals Friday for the first time since 2008.
The Austrian team of Eva-Maria Brem, Michaela Kirchgasser, Marcel Mathis and Philipp Schoerghofer defeated Switzerland 3-1 in the final, which has teams of two men and two women race head-to-head on parallel giant slalom courses.
Sweden defeated the United States 3-1 for third place. In the opening run, Resi Stiegler of the United States crashed and was carried off the course with an apparent left knee injury.
U.S. ski team spokesman Doug Haney said the extent of the injury was unknown after a hospital examination. Stiegler plans to fly back to the United States this weekend for more tests.

Furniture from felt? It might sound a harebrained scheme, but

Forget the dismal reviews, postponed press nights and reports of

officially a smash hit. Over the Christmas season it was the

But it's not just morbid voyeurs hoping to see Spidey shatter
his pelvis who are forking out for tickets. It seems that, with its
$65 million budget, Spider-Man heralds a brand of
theatrical spectacular that is more akin to a Hollywood
blockbuster, involving cult characters, stunts and animatronics.

Sussex farmer has canoe on standby as farm floods yet again
5:10am Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News
A farmer has a canoe on standby to feed his cattle after his farm was submerged in flood water.
Robert Tedbury said his farm in Hardham near Pulborough has been under water five times this winter following the heavy rain experienced in the past couple of months.
He is face with either taking a tractor, clambering on the top of hedges or paddling in a canoe to get to his herd in their barn.
His summer grazing crop is also currently under several feet of water and looks set to be ruined.
He said: "There is six or seven feet of water between one of the farm buildings and the other.
"I have to bring the food to the herd but I am not a particularly good canoeist.
"It has been a problem since before Christmas. It has been the worst I have seen it since 2001 but this time it has gone on and on."
His son got him the canoe over Christmas, partly as a joke but also just in case the water go t so bad he had no other way of reaching the 100 cows.
At the moment Mr Tedbury has been walking across the top of hedges to avoid the floodwater. He has likened the state of the farm to those in the Somerset Levels.
The farm is situated next to the River Arun and the 56-year-old said the flooding had been exacerbated by the lack of dredging of the river.
The National Farmers Union has called on more to be done by the Environment Agency to protect the livelihood of farmers.NFU President Peter Kendall has demanded more resilient and better managed flood defences.
He has welcomed two Government announcements this week for a total £130m spend on flood maintenance and repairs, but said more needed to be done.
"The Government and the Environment Agency must learn the lessons of these devastating floods. We have been here before and recently, in 2007 and 2012. Climate change scientists predict precisely this type of event becoming more frequent in future decades," said Mr Kendall.
"Because of this we need more resilient, better managed flood defences with the capacity to protect life, property and farmland from excessive flooding. We must use all the tools available to us and make dredging a priority."
The Environment Agency were not available for comment.

Erm, what's wrong with option1? Surely taking a tractor is pretty standard for a farmer? Why look for alternatives?

Why did you un-follow me? :-( Did I do something wrong? Are my creations bad or getting worse? :-P
Subscription e-mails haven't been working for months now, so I stayed subbed to people I look at the most, for the rare time that I visit my "you page".
Don't worry, you haven't done anything wrong.
Phew! I had a feeling that you un-suubed me because of this whole thing with Nerf and his 'Ibles. :P
Glad to know that wasn't the case.
Nah. That with Nerf was just me ranting, with Akbar and Didexo apparently agreeing. Nerf probably hates me now, but I don't regret it, as I said what I think, and hope that people see my points, and man up a bit, regarding criticism.
Just thought i'd leave this here:
if i compressed all the working time I would estimate like 5 days :P
Your builds look great!

OUYA CEO talks emulators, and I almost pirate a ROM from my hotel room
There was some discussion about the OUYA console launching with emulators available in the official store, and I asked about this bit of news during a meeting with company CEO Julie Uhrman. I told her that I had read that emulators would be available at launch.
"I read that too!" She responded. Not exactly the answer I was looking for.
"If someone uploads content that meets our content guidelines, it will be available. If someone uploads content that has content that infringes on someone else's rights, it will not be approved and will be taken down," Uhrman said when I pressed the issue.
So where does the legality of this begin and end? She was blunt. "You can't infringe on anyone else's rights," I was told.
Still, I wanted a straight yes or no answer: Will emulators be available at launch? "If someone uploads an emulator and again, it meets the content guidelines, and there's no content in there that infringes on anyone's rights, then yes." Uhrman said. Another OUYA representative then said that the sticking point was the distribution of ROMS. The company can't allow that to happen.
"And we won't," Uhrman continued.
The moment where I get my hands on an OUYA
This is where things get interesting. I wanted to play with a system, but I didn't Kickstart the project and we may or may not be able to get on the list for a review sample. I jumped onto Twitter and said that if anyone had a unit they weren't interested in, I would pay cash for it. I received a positive response, took a quick trip into the San Francisco night after hitting an ATM, and bought a sealed developer kit in what had to look like the weirdest drug deal my hotel had ever seen.
I was curious about the state of the system's software, but to my surprise I was able to get online in my hotel room, download the latest firmware update, and download and play the games I had seen in my private meeting with the company. I was overjoyed, and had fun playing a few rounds of Canabalt HD, but I was also surprised to see what seemed to be a working SNES emulator called Super GNES already up in the store. I gave it a quick download to see how it worked.
It stated that it was scanning "SD Cards" for ROMS when I opened the program, but the OUYA doesn't have an SD card slot. The system wasn't able to find any ROMS on the system, but I was able to use a built-in browser in the emulator to search for ROMS online. I hooked up a USB keyboard, typed in "Super Mario World," and the app brought me to a list of Mario games I could ostensibly download and play on the hardware.
This is where I stopped, because I was in a hotel, I wasn't quite sure of the legality of downloading ROMs in this manner, and I became uncomfortable with the whole thing. It was made clear to me that the company is comfortable with emulators, but the distribution of ROMs was a big no-no. But what does that mean for emulators that allow you to search for and download ROMs? At what point is the hardware manufacturer responsible for what content is put on it?
It's an odd situation, but remember that I'm using a dev kit that is running firmware that will likely be updated and changed before the official launch of the system. The emulator was in the "Sandbox" portion of the store, which means it hasn't been sorted into an actual genre and not many people have used it. It's very possible it will be removed before launch.
Still, OUYA seems to be willing to follow the letter of the law when it comes to emulators and ROMs, but that could still grab the attention of Nintendo, a company that doesn't mind litigating to protect its interests. I'm looking forward to seeing what other emulators will be available for the system's launch on June 4.

Concerned about problems within the states medical examiners office, North Carolina senators have requested a formal review of the way the state investigates suspicious deaths.
The Senates budget, passed last month, calls for the nonpartisan research unit to investigate the medical examiners system.
The 14-member Program Evaluation Division typically spends four to six months studying an agency or issue before publishing recommendations for legislators to consider.
Sen. Ralph Hise, R-Mitchell, said he requested the review after learning that the failures of the medical examiners office went beyond three deaths in a Boone hotel room last year.
Were coming to realize that theres a structural defect within the medical examiners office, Hise said.
Last spring, it took 40 days for the state to complete blood tests after two people died in a Best Western hotel in the mountain town. The tests showed carbon monoxide poisoning, but the information was not made public until after an 11-year-old boy died in the same room.
Dr. Brent Hall, the medical examiner who investigated the hotel deaths, later resigned. Hise said he was struck by how difficult it was to find someone to replace Hall. The state has yet to replace Hall, a medical examiner spokesman said. Cases are being handled by medical examiners in surrounding counties and by Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem.
Hise said he was also troubled by what he learned from a recent Observer investigation, which found:
• North Carolina pathologists perform autopsies in 40 percent of the cases they investigate, far fewer than pathologists in leading medical examiner systems.
• Medical examiners dont go to death scenes in 90 percent of the cases they investigate.
• Despite failing to view bodies in one of every nine deaths a violation of a state requirement medical examiners still get paid.
Thats a lack of oversight, said Hise, who co-chairs the Senate committee that oversees appropriations for health and human services, including the medical examiner system.
Sen. Louis Pate, R-Lenoir, the committees other chairman, said the Observers investigation raised the red flag on the medical examiners office.
There are bound to be improvements that can be made, and we want to get to the bottom of it, Pate said.
A day after the series, Gov. Pat McCrory asked lawmakers to increase funding for the office.
Evaluating the office
If the N.C. House and Gov. McCrory accept the Senates request, as expected, an evaluation would likely begin next year, said John Turcotte, director of the Program Evaluation Division.
One division staff member would work on the project full time and two others would help. Theyd analyze medical examiner data and interview staff members and leaders.
Were like management consultants that go in uninvited, he said. Most of the projects that weve done, theyve been on topics where the Legislature has exhausted all other alternatives.
In 2001, after a previous Observer investigation, a legislative study group made nearly two dozen recommendations on how to improve the state office.
Recommendations included mandatory training, hiring professional investigators and seeking national accreditation. Most werent implemented.
With some exceptions, thats the problem with study committees that the General Assembly has had for many years, Turcotte said.
Unlike a study committee, the evaluation division is a permanent, independent unit able to conduct follow-up investigations.
In recent years, the division reviewed ways the University of North Carolina system can improve and reduce campus operation costs, and how the state Department of Health and Human Services monitors prescription drugs.
In both evaluations, the division produced about 50 pages of background, findings and recommendations.
Turcotte said an examination of the medical examiners office would be difficult because of its complexities.
Youre dealing with physicians, and youre dealing with law enforcement and justice, Turcotte said. Youre dealing with an emotional subject, and its statewide.
Improving the system
North Carolinas system for investigating suspicious, violent and accidental deaths is made up of roughly 350 medical examiners, most of whom are full-time doctors. Theyre paid $100 per case and asked to determine the manner of a persons death and whether bodies should be autopsied.
Autopsies are typically performed by pathologists in Mecklenburg County, Raleigh, Winston-Salem or Greenville, N.C.
The state spent about 84 cents per capita for its medical examiner system last year less than half the national average.
Last years budget composed of state and county tax dollars totaled $8.3 million. Two weeks ago, McCrory asked lawmakers to give the medical examiners office an additional $2 million.
The family of Jeffrey Williams, the 11-year-old from York County, S.C., who died of carbon monoxide poisoning in the Boone hotel, applauded the governors efforts. But family members want more.
...We would most definitely support this formal review, said Jeffreys mother, Jeannie Williams. We hope their review would identify where the medical examiners system needs improvements ... to prevent another family from going through what we have.
In an emailed statement, Dr. Deborah Radisch, who became the states chief medical examiner in 2010, said she welcomes the review.
Reporter Elizabeth Leland contributed.

For those fantasy players who play in standard mixed leagues, the hot stove season is a time of excitement. These owners can just sit back and enjoy the player moves, secure in the knowledge that regardless of what happens there will not be a huge impact on gameplay.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Read some of Erik's 6 posts
Traditionally, the backstop has been a bitter bane of the fantasy owner's existence. Owners either spent mega-dollars on one of the heavy hitters at the position or contented themselves to spend the season with a Kurt-Suzuki–sized hole in their lineups. The mayhem came to a crescendo a few years back when Joe Mauer's ADP crept into the 1st round.Please, blog, may I have some more?
2011 was supposed to be a big year for Shin-Soo Choo — he was coming off his 2nd straight 20-20 season, his looming military service requirement to the Korean government was in the rearview mirror and he was just entering his prime age.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Baseball's hot stove season has been largely dominated by the new-look Marlins. The last time a Miami team made such headlines in free agency, it was the controversial Miami Heat "Dream Team." Although they did not have their own hour long ESPN special and subsequent public hatred like Lebron and his gang, the new-look Marlins have come to play.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Yu Darvish has been generating lots of headlines stateside after rumors circulated last week that he had asked the Nippon Ham Fighters to make him available for MLB teams this winter. Shortly thereafter Darvish himself shot down these rumors, but did not rule out leaving Japan saying, "I haven't decided anything [about my future]." Adding fuel to the fire is his recent choice to be represented by Arn Tellem and Don Nomura, agents well-known for helping Japanese players transition to Major League Baseball.Please, blog, may I have some more?
For Philly fans (myself included), it was hard to imagine a worse way for the 2011 season to end. As prohibitive favorites to win the World Series, the Phillies watched a 2-1 series lead evaporate with it all culminating in a Ryan Howard groundout to end the series that saw him pull up lame and fall to the ground in a heap.Please, blog, may I have some more?

|Friday, November 15, 2013 9:39 PM
Information submitted
The following is a weekly report concerning construction and maintenance work on state highways within the Ohio Department of Transportation District 1, which includes the counties of Allen, Defiance, Hancock, Hardin, Paulding, Putnam, Van Wert and Wyandot. This report is issued each week beginning in April and continues through November.
For the latest in statewide construction, visit www.ohgo.com. Please contact us at 419-999-6803 with any information needs.
Construction and Maintenance Projects
Week of Nov. 18, 2013
I-75 Reconstruction Project
For the most recent information concerning the I-75 reconstruction project through Lima and Allen County and the safety upgrade of Ohio 117/309 on Lima's east side, please visit: www.odotlima75.org.
I-75 between Fourth Street and Ohio 81 in Lima will have occasional nighttime lane restrictions during reconstruction of the existing lanes of pavement, replacement of mainline bridges and reconstruction of the interchanges. Work began in March 2013 and will continue through fall of 2015. Traffic is maintained two lanes in each direction the majority of the time. Lane restrictions generally occur from 7 p.m.-10 a.m. the following morning. The following is project information for the coming week:
I-75 Mainline
- Construction of the noise walls along I-75 between Ohio 117/309 and Reservoir Road is underway and will continue through the winter. Construction is taking place on the east side of the interstate first.
- Traffic in both the northbound and southbound directions is now traveling on the new concrete pavement from just south of Fourth Street to a point prior to the Ohio 117/309 interchange where traffic is then transitioned back to the existing pavement.
- By mid-December, traffic on I-75 will be traveling on new concrete pavement from just south of Fourth Street to Reservoir Road and then be transitioned back to the existing pavement.
- Paving of asphalt in the median area between Ohio 81 and Stewart Road will continue. During paving operations, traffic on I-75 could be affected at times. Motorists are cautioned to watch for trucks entering and exiting the highway as the operation continues.
- Embankment work between Ohio 81 and Reservoir is ongoing and will continue for the next several weeks. Motorists are cautioned to watch for trucks entering and exiting the zone.
- Occasional nighttime lane closures will continue on I-75 throughout the zone from Fourth Street to Ohio 81 generally from 7 p.m. until approximately 10 a.m. the following day. Normal traffic patterns of two lanes in each direction will resume during daytime hours.
- Motorists should be aware that all entrance and exit ramp merge areas have been shortened throughout the project area. Drivers on I-75 are encouraged to use the passing lane through the zone if they do not wish to exit. Signs advising this have been placed throughout the project area.
Ohio 117/309 interchange
- The southbound entrance and exit ramps to and from I-75 closed Oct. 7 and will remain closed until mid-December.

There is a pretty sleek looking teak wood yacht in Holmes County that has a colorful past, and a colorful name. It's called the 'Blue Boy.' You can Google it and get it's history. Or just let its current owner tell us about it.
It is in permanent dry dock on some property Don Barrett owns out west of Lexington. Under a protective awning on the banks of Lake Katherine sits "Blue Boy," a vessel that started out as a rumrunner in southern California during the prohibition era. And that was just the beginning.
The Blue Boy was built in 1928 for the owner of the 7-up bottling empire," said owner Don Barrett. "It became owned by William Randolph Hearst, who kept it at San Simeon. He entertained the Hollywood starlets of the day. They all came to San Simeon for the weekend. In 1943 he gave it to the navy and it was the VIP tender for the capitol ships in long beach harbor till the end of the war. After that it went back into movie star hands. Barbara Stanwick owned it at one time. The Cisco Kid, Duncan Renaldo, owned it at one time. The most famous thing about this boat is this is the boat that Robert Kennedy, visited, went riding with Marilyn Monroe on, on at least two and maybe three different occasions."
The Blue Boy wound up in Holmes County after Don's brother-in-law acquired it and it fell into disrepair and he offered it to don if he would restore it.
Which he did. And set it up on a piece of property in Holmes County and hooked it up to plumbing and electricity and uses it as a get away.
It's become a place for churches and friends and folks in Holmes County to enjoy, to fish and have parties and wedding receptions, said Barrett.
The Yacht "Blue Boy," once owned by Hollywood stars and infamous publisher William Randolph Hearst, and frequented by Marilyn Monroe, is sort of a fish out of water here in Mississippi. But it has a much quieter retirement here as a place for Sunday school class gatherings and reunions of one kind or another.
It's supposed to be haunted by the ghost of Marilyn Monroe. So I guess that means the Blue Boy hasn't lost all of the spirit of its former life.

Sure, the people with the 9/11 conspiracy theories are a little odd. But not everything they're saying is entirely crazy.
THE GRAND LAKE Theater in Oakland was filled almost to capacity March 10, just as the Guild Theatre in Menlo Park was the night before and the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco would be the next night, all for a documentary with bad production values and even worse leaps of logic.
This was the local premiere of The Great Conspiracy: The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw, a benefit screening for the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance, whose activists have been laboring for more than three years to dispel popular belief in the government's version of the events on that fateful day.
And to fill that void, they offer a wide variety of alternative theories, carefully laid out in the dozens of books and DVDs that local truth-movement leader Carol Brouillet sold from a table in the theater lobby, or in the hundreds of Web sites devoted to debunking the official story.
Brouillet is what most people think of when they use the term "conspiracy theorist." Ever since she saw the Oliver Stone film JFK — which she describes as her moment of awakening — she has been trafficking in the dark world of a shadow government executing secret plots. She's been gathering every relevant document she can find, meticulously connecting every dot into an elaborate proof.
It is a worldview in which… Continue reading

In defense of the "9/11 truth movement."
[Alternet] Editor's note: The role of the alternative press is to offer perspectives that the commercial media won't touch. Having run a number of articles critical of the "9/11 Truth Movement" by Matt Taibbi , Joshua Holland , Matthew Rothschild and others, we asked Sander Hicks, a prominent voice within the movement, to share his perspective. For more of Sanders' views, see his book " The Big Wedding: 9/11, The Whistle-Blowers, and the Cover-Up ."
No matter what you believe about who was responsible for 9/11, and how it went down, we're all amazed at how much political capital the events of that day produced for this administration: A bipartisan consensus on torture; an era of permanent war; detentions without trial; "no fly" lists for activists; the Bill of Rights gone with the wind, and a cowed professional media willing to self-censor and suppress pertinent information. The 9/11 "America Attacked" story has distracted us from the natural outrage we should feel over illegal wiretaps, stolen elections, hundreds of billions of dollars missing at the Pentagon, war profiteering, Enron and Cheney's secret energy policy.
But with Bush's popularity… Continue reading

Brother of New Cross student killer Dano Sonnex jailed after burglary
Updated 4:25pm Tuesday 19th February 2013 in News By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
A BROTHER of New Cross student murderer Dano Sonnex has been jailed for 40 months after burgling a houseboat.
Bernard Sonnex, aged 39, from Camberwell, had clambered aboard the boat last September in Surrey Quays, not realising a pregnant woman was sleeping inside.
As he tried to escape with a stash of stolen property, he was caught by another occupant who managed to detain him until police arrived.
Sonnex admitted burglary via videolink at Woolwich Crown Court on February 13.
Detective Constable Alastair Lovell of Southwark Burglary Squad said: "The arrest and conviction of Bernard Sonnex shows our ongoing commitment to bringing offenders to justice and I hope this reassures our residents."
Sonnex's Deptford brother Dano was found guilty in 2009 of murdering French students Laurent Bonomo and Gabriel Ferez at a flat in Sterling Gardens, New Cross. The pair were stabbed a total of 244 times in the drug-fuelled attack.
During the killer's trial, jurors heard extensive evidence about Bernard Sonnex's violent lifestyle.
After the conviction, Bernard Sonnex even named his newborn son after his murderous sibling.
Dano Sonnex, a Broadmoor inmate, was back in court late last year after trying to build a makeshift glider using shelves, coat hangers, a mattress and sheets to fly out over the prison walls and escape.

Select Route:
There is a main wall on the side near the highway. There are two longer slab climbs on the west side of the rock, and one overhung water route on the east side. There is also another slab climb on the east side of the rock right next to the main wall(right around the corner). The main wall is usually stuck in the shade in a little pocket. Really nice rock, though in the fall it gets really cold. On the main wall the routes are pretty tough. The easiest one is probably a 5.10b/c, the rest look like 12s. Also the 10b/c has some ledges that, if you feel, you would hit before the rope caught you.
Getting There
It is roughly 36 miles west of Missoula, just past Alberton. The exit is number 70, it is the one just past Alberton, if your coming from Missoula. You take exit 70, turn around, and get going east on the highway. Within two minutes you will come to a rest stop, where you park. The main wall is right down the hill from the parking lot.

This route is the most right route on the main wall. It starts out just past the corner. The move past the first bolt is a pretty hard one, with a big reach. The last bolt is sketchy, becasue if you miss and fall you will hit a ledge before the rope catches you, and you will probably break yourself....[more] Browse More Classics in MT

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.
