Servings: 6 to 8
Prep Time: 1 hour 10 min
Cook Time: 1 hour 45 min
Difficulty: Easy
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
8 fresh sage leaves
2 cup thick-cut white bread cubes, crusts removed
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper
1/2 to 1 cup chicken stock, plus more if needed
1 (3 pound) pork loin roast, butterflied
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, apples and sage. Saute until softened. Remove from the heat and gently stir in the bread, egg, butter and salt and pepper. Add the chicken stock gradually until everything is moistened. Let the stuffing mixture cool completely before putting it in the pork loin. Spoon the stuffing down the pork, horizontally, in a line. Roll the pork over the stuffing, jelly roll style, ending with the seam down and fat side up. Lightly score the fat, in a diamond pattern, with a sharp knife. Tightly tie the pork roast up with butcher's twine, season it with more salt and pepper, and transfer to a roasting pan. Roast the pork in a preheated oven for about 90 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F. Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with apples and fresh herbs.
Amazing!!! We made it last night and it was fantastic! We omitted the butter and egg to keep it a bit healthier. We also subbed a handful of toasted breadcrumbs instead of the cubed bread. Cut a long slit down the pork tenderloin, stuffed it, tied it up then crammed in the stuffing that fell out and what was left. Baked uncovered for 1 hour and it was perfect! (2lb tenderloin) Thanks for an amazing recipe!!!

Not worth the mess of stuffing the loin. A tenderloin served with fried apples makes more sense. Our loin did NOT roll so easily. More mess than flavor.

I have made this several times now. My husband absolutely loves this dish. It's so easy to make and we can't get over how delicious it is. I just use a box of stuffing instead of the bread. I usually have extra stuffing so I just put it around the pork loin and it can soak up all the juices while it's cooking. I could just fill up on the stuffing!!! I def give it 5stars!!!!!!!

Thank you, Very nice.

I love your fudge pie cicilygodfrey
By cicily on March 24, 2012
would like to see how you take a whole loin in this page and prepare it in order to roll stuffing in it jelly roll style, i'm at a loss as to how to do this easy task, ha ha (((apparently you don't know who your dealing with, LOL :D, I need HELP)))
By helenlandlarryg on December 31, 2011
I was happy to find Paula Deen's recipe for stuffed pork loin. I made it last Christmas and it was a big hit. I have decided to make it again this Christmas. Best one yet.
By Ellen Fennelly on December 14, 2011
I used kind of a three combination recipe to cook this, but my family absolutely loved it, it was delicious I cooked it surrounded by sweet potato gumbo otherwise the gumbo was going to be to hot by itself to eat even with the cornbread muffins. But the recipes also left my with enough apple left over I used it to make my baby some apple banana and oatmeal for her food with a dash of vanilla or you can use a some scoop of vanilla ice cream. I will also be using a very small bit of the stuffing and mixing it with probably some broccoli and make her some more food out of that. So very good meals to cook and the Whole family loves it.
By Natasha F. on December 13, 2011
This is an easy great recipe to make for your family or guests! I even added a handful of dried cranberries! Yummy! Thanks Paula for another great one!
By Renee picarello on December 10, 2011
Excellent! I cooked mine on the Big Green Egg at 350 deg and it turned out great. I modified your stuffing recipe by adding a Tbspn + of Dizzy Pig Barbeque Co Pineapple Head Seasoning and a half a cup of walnuts. Both go great with an apple stuffing. Also, I seasoned the roast liberally with the Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head before cooking. It's a sweet seasoning that goes very well with pork.
By BMac on October 27, 2011
OK, hoping this turns out as well as everyone says...added slivred almonds to the apple onion mixture, got the whole thing stuffed and realized had no way to tie it off so my husband being the complete idiot redneck he is, went to shop got out weedeater cord new package, cleaned a section and tied it off with that....put that in your list of substitutions!!!
By brandi on April 05, 2011
This meal was a great change of pace from what I normally cook. I usually cook with mostly Spanish spices. I watched Paula prepare this meal so, I thought to myself, try it. I tried it and my family loved it. I will be cooking this again. Since pork tends to dry out,I will place it in a cooking bag next time to keep the juices and tenderness sealed in.
By Anonymous on December 07, 2010
I have used this recipe several times catering various events, and it is a success every time!!
By Anonymous on January 12, 2010
I make this recipe all the time and LOVE it. Warning: It is difficult to not eat all of the stuffing BEFORE you put it into the pork roast- it's SO yummy! My husband asks for this for dinner often. It is a hit! Another Paula recipe perfection!
By Anonymous on November 15, 2009
This recipe is awesome! I will be inviting family and friends over for a taste in future. I never knew it was this easy to make a stuffing for pork roasts. Is there a list of recommended side dishes? Also, is there a way to know how to adjust the time for roasting when you use larger roasts? Thank you, Paula. I am inspired to cook even though our kids are grown and I now work in an office all week.
By NDonckers on September 13, 2009
Oh Paula, this was wonderful!!! My whole family (even the picky eaters) just loved this recipe! I'm no gourmet cook, but I sure felt like it tonight! This was easy to put together, and was so delicious, thanks Paula!
By clarkcrewfive on April 16, 2009
Delicious! My husband recently cooked this dish for about 100 people. The stuffing was great. He didn't butterfly the pork roast, he just sliced it about half way (like a pouch), put the stuffing in and then tied it up.
By cmarkavee on April 02, 2009
DELICIOUS!!! My husband, 1 year old, and 5 year old ate it up!!! My only complaint (and I may have done it wrong!!!) was that the loin, after butterflied, was still too thick to roll. Mine was more of a sandwich . . . and most of the stuffing mixture fell out. :( I even told my husband that he better not like it because I didn't want to make it again. However, it was sooooo good, that I will be going through the hassle again soon.
By mistyrg on February 15, 2009
This recipe is delicious and very easy to make. We will definitely be adding this to the list of family favorites!

Help support the World Socialist Web Site!
The World Socialist Web Site is voice of the international working class, the essential and indispensable counterweight to the lies of the corporate-controlled media.
The unfolding debacle in Iraq once again reveals the role of the media in the war plans of the ruling class. In today's perspective, Bill Van Auken documents the way the American media promoted the lies of the state, covers up what is really happening in Iraq and, in general, prevents as much as possible the American people from knowing the truth. The media columnists and editors who promoted the war bear part of the responsibility for the disaster that has engulfed that country, for a war that has killed more than one million Iraqis and nearly 4,500 US troops.
The response of the ruling class and its media appendages to the disaster it has created is more bloodshed--in Iraq, where troops and drones are on their way, and against bigger powers. One hundred years after the First World War, the imperialist powers are once again courting catastrophe.
In the fight against war, exposing the truth is a critical task. As Van Auken writes, "the unrelenting struggle against the lies of the media becomes all the more urgent in developing a struggle against militarism and war. This requires the continuous development of the World Socialist Web Site and expansion of its readership to working people all over the world."
For this we need your support. We need your support to help organize events like the extremely successful International May Day Online Rally held last month, and to introduce new features like our daily podcast.

Select Route:
The Riders of Rohan rode across the immaculate planes of Rohan, and the The Rohan Face climbs the immaculate face left of P3 of Training Day. Once again, what seemed harder on jugs, melted away on the sharp end of the rope. Clean rock that follows discontinuous seams and and an arete may pick up the irregular crack at mid point. Staying left of the crack would add a number grade, but may be too forced to be worth the added spice. Rap back to the top of P2 of TD, or walk off to the North. Three stars for the clean climbing that makes a nice moderate ascent of Ra.
A dozen draws and a sixty meter rope. This variation pitch has a rap station at the top and bolt that can be used alternatively if you plan on walking off. For the walk-off, pull up over the top and tie in on the big block. It's useful to leave enough cord that you can look back down to the other climber.

Oh, it's on.
If there was any doubt the coming fight over the same-sex marriage ban amendment in Indiana was going to be elevated to the national level, it's gone.
Last week, Mary Cheney, the gay daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, announced her opposition to the proposed amendment, House Joint Resolution 6, along with her plans to come to Indiana to raise money for HJR-6 opponent, Freedom Indiana.
It immediately caught the attention of the national media, who've been reporting on the very public split between Mary Cheney and her U.S. Senate candidate sister, Liz.
"Freedom means freedom for everyone," Mary Cheney wrote in her email to Freedom Indiana supporters. "For me, that's not just another saying. It's who I am — the core of what I believe. No one should be denied the fundamental liberties we all deserve."
The "freedom for everyone" line echoed a remark made by sister Liz in 2009, regarding gay marriage, when she said "freedom means freedom for everybody."
That was before Liz Cheney decided to launch a Senate campaign in Wyoming. Now, in her attempt to knock off a Republican incumbent in the primary, Liz Cheney has become vocal in her opposition to gay marriage.
Mary Cheney invoked family in her email: "Speaking out against HJR-6 isn't a matter of politics. It's about family," she wrote. "It's about everyone feeling welcome in the state they call home."
The involvement of Mary Cheney, who identifies herself as a conservative Republican, is ramping up attention to an issue GOP leaders who control the Indiana Legislature have been working hard to minimize.
During a recent legislative preview, House Speaker Brian Bosma was disdainful of what he sees as the media's obsession with HJR-6.
"This is not the most important issue for us by far," Bosma said of the measure that would lock Indiana's current ban on same-sex marriage into the state constitution. "It will receive 95 percent of the coverage, and it will take 5 percent of the attention of the General Assembly."

Guide family wakes up to find electric heater on fire
4:00pm Monday 17th December 2012 in Blackburn
A FAMILY woke up to find an electric heater in their living room on fire.
The family, including two young children and a pregnant mother, fled their home in Haslingden Old Road, Guide, yesterday shortly before 5am.
Fire crews said the property had been fitted with smoke alarms but had been removed due to low battery bleeping.
The fire involved a portable electrical heater that had been left switched on in the living room.
The heater had a thermo-stat but an electrical fault caused it to set on fire.
The occupier had woken up and could smell smoke. Upon investigation he found a fire burning in the living room and attempted to extinguish it with water, the fire service was called and the family left the house.
The ground floor suffered extensive smoke damage.
The pregnant mother received precautionary check by paramedics for smoke inhalation.
Blackburn watch manager Mark Fogarty, said: "If the occupier had not woken and the fire had been allowed to develop the incident would have been life threatenings.
"I urge everyone to test their smoke alarms or if they do not have any to call us for a free home fire safety check."

Is it weird that I can close grip almost as much as I bench? I can CG 215 and Bench 230. Should I be working on a certain portion of my bench (ie: "the hole")? It just seemed weird that the numbers were so close.
Anyone else have CG numbers near their bench, or is it just me?
Edit: If it makes a difference, I go about 6-8" for CG and shoulder width maybe a little more for bench.

My close grip is quite a bit higher than my regular bench. I haven't benched with a wider grip in a long time, and when I bench close grip I flare my elbows out, which I shouldn't. But it's still weird.
my closegrip is pretty close to my regular flat bench. i think i read somewhere that once you start getting into the higher weights then your flat bench will be much higher than your cg bench
My CG bench is pretty close to my regular bench, (260 CG, 295 regular), but I use a powerlifting style for regular bench which does recruit the tri's and lats quite a bit.

Intruder shot
FORT WORTH - A Fort Worth pastor shot a man he said broke into his home early Monday morning.
Anthony Jobe said he awoke to his doorbell being rung in the early morning hours at his home in the 2400 block of Hunting Drive. He said he then heard beating on his side door, which is where he said he found a man attempting to kick his door down.
Upon seeing the alleged intruder, a confrontation ensued, ending with Jobe shooting the man with his handgun.
"That's unfortunate, shooting pastor, I know," Jobe said. "... I shoot more as a hobby and I like to go to the gun range, but this is unfortunate that this happened like this, but you have to do what you have to do to protect your family."
While the man was able to flee the scene, someone with bullet wounds showed up at the Baylor All Saints Medical Center in Fort Worth later in the morning. There was no official statement on the condition of the man, but Jobe said he was told by authorities that the wounds were not life-threatening.
Police recovered the car involved in the incident and discovered two bullet holes in the car. Investigators questioned and released two other suspects found with the car.
Jobe pastors a small church and is a United States Army veteran with a license to carry a concealed weapon. Police did not name the suspect because he has not yet been arrested.

I just purchased Cub #3 today. I wasn't really looking to buy another unless it was a basket case to be had cheap, but this deal just fell into my lap, so to speak. '50 model, with woods mower. Tractor purrs like a kitten, no smoke at all, good oil pressure. Hydraulic is quiet and smooth.
Transmission is NICE and QUIET. Mower cuts great, with no problems.
Is missing left fender and battery box and head lights. Paid 1K for what you see. How'd I do?
Looks like a good deal to me! What is that hanging in front of the steering shaft support? Cup holder? Ash tray????
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
You done good. We've paid a lot more for a lot less. It looks like another Cub family is forming!
Now tell us about the bluebird box. Is it successful? I have 16 just like it, but mine only attract english sparrows. I've had only one successful bluebird nest in 12 years.

What a great buy. The mower would bring half that easy
You done good
"Now tell us about the bluebird box. Is it successful? I have 16 just like it, but mine only attract english sparrows. I've had only one successful bluebird nest in 12 years".
Hey George...I put up three boxes here. I have a nesting pair in one. The female is sitting on five eggs. A week ago, I had another pair checking out one of the other boxes. Now if I could get the purple martins to stay and set up home in my martin house.

Johnbron and HR, be careful running the cubs (or any other vertical exhaust tractor) with a short pipe. Several years ago I rented a house from the widow of a man that was to tight (not poor, just tight) to replace the exhaust pipe on his Allis when it rotted off just above the hood. He filled it with gas and some splashed out onto the fuel tank from the leaky cap while he was driving. Sparks from the muffler lit it, and rather than abandoning the tractor he stayed on it trying to drive it into the river to save it. He died from the burns.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government
to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
That's a good point, but some Allis tractors had exhausts that were no more than an inch above the hood. My Allis C has the original muffler under the hood and had the outlet crimped so that it was a slot about 5/8" wide just above the hood. I modified it so I could add a vertical stack, but for a different reason.
George Willer
The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog. Ambrose Bierce
I'll get it home tomorrow, and have a few more pics. That is a cup holder mounted on the steering support. Looks marine in origin...probably will leave it for a while. I do like the way it sounds w/o the muffler...not sure what I'll do there. This tractor was less than 5 miles from my house. We knew the folks....but didn't know they had it. Wife told me about it. It was one of those deals where everybody felt good afterwards.
George, this was at the sellers home, but I do have a couple of Blue bird houses on my property. I've had 1 nesting pair for the last 2 years, but they're doing well in the neighborhood. No luck with the Martins though.
Thanks all for the good comments.
I finally got it home after the rain quit. I stopped by the car wash and pressure washed it good, removing years of gunk. I drove the tractor around for over an hour, at all speeds, and found no other problems. No leaks of any kind. Along with missing the left fender.....it's missing left brake. It's all there, but I believe the band is broke. Carb is in need of attention. Floods and drips gas. The hood and doglegs are going to need straightening. It seems folks get tired of the hassle of taking the hood off, so they make it a "quick-release". I don't percieve these as "biggies" though. Pics later.
Ya done good
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Nice find Harold, sometimes their just around the corner. Do you have the martin's houses way up high?
Here's a few pics of number 3 with the hood off. In one pic you'll see a bracket of some sort. No, the block isn't cracked...I did know to check for that. The tractor has a curious under coat of orange. Possibly Hwy. Dept. orange? Everything was painted orange. The red you'll see looks to have been brushed on. Radiator looks new. The final drives look as if a mower was the only thing ever hooked to it. I'm thinking new rubber and a couple hundred bucks for odd and end things....ought to be a good tractor.

Third-quarter loss widens at Hudson's Bay Co.
December 12, 2012-- Furniture Today,
TORONTO — In its first report since becoming a public company last month, retailer the Hudson's Bay Co. said its third quarter loss widened slightly, although same store sales on both sides of the border were stronger than anticipated.
"Hudson's Bay and Lord & Taylor continued to deliver solid mid-single-digit same-stores sales increases for the third quarter of 2012, including an 8% same store sales increase in October at both banners," Richard Baker, HBC governor and CEO, said in a statement.
He added that the company will also begin paying a quarterly dividend of 9.4 cents a share on its stock beginning this month.
The company reported retail sales for the 13-week period ending Oct. 27 of C$930.4 million, up 3.8% from the corresponding period a year earlier.
Consolidated same store sales were up 3.5% in the third quarter - with an increase of 4.5% at Hudson's Bay (which includes The Bay and Home Outfitters) and 5.2% on a U.S. dollar basis at Lord & Taylor.
HBC attributed the upticks in same-store sales to strong promotional events at Hudson's Bay and Lord & Taylor. Consolidated same store results were hurt by currency exchange rates as well as by lower sales at Home Outfitters.
The net loss from continuing operations was C$8.5 million or 8 cents a share, compared with a net loss of C$7.5 million or 7 cents per share a year ago.
For the 39-week period ended Oct. 27, retail sales were C$2.69 billion, up 5.5% from C$2.55 billion in the corresponding period of last year.
Consolidated same-store sales increased by 4.9%, with gains of 5% at Hudson's Bay and 4.6% on a U.S. dollar basis at Lord & Taylor.
However, the net loss from continuing operations widened to C$62.1 million or 59 cents per share from C$41.9 million or 40 cents per share.
Michael Culhane, the company's chief financial officer, said that as a result of the IPO during the third quarter, "We have reduced our net debt and we are in a strong position to continue growing our business."
HBC also said in the earnings report that 80% of its Lord & Taylor stores were negatively impacted by Hurricane Sandy, including closings and limited operating hours. "The effects of the storm may negatively impact fourth quarter sales by approximately US$20 million and result in moderately higher inventory levels at Lord & Taylor," Baker said.
The disruption caused by the hurricane resulted in flat same-store sales for November, the company reported, with comps up 9% at Hudson's Bay and down 12.4% at Lord & Taylor.
Adjusting for the US$20 million impact of Sandy, HBC said same-store sales at Lord & Taylor would have increased 3.7% on a U.S. dollar basis, and consolidated same store sales would have increased 5.7%. Both banners experienced uplift in sales performance as a result of promotional activity during Black Friday sales in late November.
In a conference call, Baker - who is a real estate developer - said HBC is considering spinning off its real estate holdings into a REIT (real interest income trust), although no firm plans have been set. A number of other large Canadian retailers, most notably the grocery giant Loblaw Cos. Ltd., have spun off their real estate to increase shareholder equity.

Averting fiscal cliff elusive as lawmakers return to talk of compromise
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Talk of compromise on a broad budget deal greeted returning lawmakers Monday, but agreement still seemed distant as the White House and congressional Republicans ceded little ground on a key sticking point: whether to raise revenue through higher tax rates or by limiting tax breaks and deductions.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, pressed his case for revenue derived by reducing tax loopholes rather than raising tax rates on wealthy taxpayers, as President Barack Obama insists.
Boehner, voicing the Republican stance, said: "The American people support an approach that involves both major spending cuts and additional revenue via tax reform with lower tax rates."
At the White House, Obama spokesman Jay Carney reiterated the president's pledge not to sign legislation that extends current tax rates to the top 2 percent of income earners -- households with incomes over $250,000. "That is a firm position," Carney said.
Congress and Obama have until the end of the year to avoid across-the-board tax increases that would do away with rates set during the administration of President George W. Bush and restore higher tax rates in place during President Bill Clinton's administration when the economy was robust and the federal government had a budget surplus.
Is Norquist's influence fading? Some Republicans split with anti-tax activist over budget deal
WASHINGTON (AP) -- For decades, conservative lobbyist Grover Norquist vowed to drive Republicans out of office if they didn't pledge to oppose tax increases. Many lawmakers signed on.
But now, several senior Republicans are breaking ranks, willing to consider raising more money through taxes as part of a deal with Democrats to avoid a catastrophic budget meltdown.
Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker says the only pledge he will keep is his oath of office. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says no one in his home state of Virginia is talking about what leaders in Washington refer to simply as "The Pledge," a Norquist invention that dates to 1986. Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss says he cares more about his country than sticking to Norquist's pledge.
It's quite an about-face for senior members of a party that long has stood firmly against almost any notion of tax increases. And while GOP leaders insist they still don't want to see taxes go up, the reality of a nation in a debt crisis is forcing some to moderate their opposition to any movement on how much Americans pay to fund their government. Republican legislators and Democratic President Barack Obama's White House are haggling vigorously as they look for ways to reach agreement on detailed tax adjustments and spending cuts before automatic, blunt-force changes occur at the new year.
"Oh, I signed it," Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama said on Fox News about Norquist's pledge, adding he still supports its goals. "But we've got to deal with the crisis we face. We've got to deal with the political reality of the president's victory."
10 Things to Know for Tuesday

Egypt president stands by edicts giving him sweeping powers, says he acted within his rights
CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi struck an uncompromising stand Monday over his seizure of near absolute powers, refusing in a meeting with top judicial authorities to rescind a package of constitutional amendments that placed his edicts above oversight by the courts.
Morsi's supporters, meanwhile, canceled a massive rally planned for Tuesday to compete with a demonstration by his opponents, citing the need to "defuse tension" at a time when anger over the president's moves is mounting, according to a spokesman for the president's Muslim Brotherhood.
The opposition rally was going ahead as scheduled at Cairo's Tahrir square, birthplace of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak's regime nearly two years ago.
The meeting between Morsi and members of the Supreme Judiciary Council was a bid to resolve a four-day crisis that has plunged the country into a new round of turmoil, with clashes between the two sides that have left one protester dead and hundreds wounded.
Morsi, according to a presidential statement, told the judges that while the constitutional declaration he announced Thursday grants him immunity from any oversight, he intended to restrict that to what it described as "sovereignty issues."
Cuomo: Sandy cost NY, NYC $32B in damage and loss; state leaders prepare aid requests
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- Top political leaders in New York put their heads together Monday on big requests for federal disaster aid as Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that Superstorm Sandy ran up a bill of $32 billion in the state and the nation's largest city.
The cost is for repairs and restoration and does not include an additional accounting of over $9 billion to head off damage in the next disastrous storm, including steps to protect the power grid and cellphone network.
"It's common sense; it's intelligent," Cuomo said. "Why don't you spend some money now to save money in the future? And that's what prevention and mitigation is."
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg had announced earlier in the day that Sandy caused $19 billion in losses in New York City -- part of the $32 billion estimate Cuomo used.
New York taxpayers, Cuomo said, can't foot the bill.
Nobel winner Dr. Joseph Murray, who performed 1st successful kidney transplant, dies in Boston
BOSTON (AP) -- Dr. Joseph E. Murray, who performed the world's first successful kidney transplant and won a Nobel Prize for his pioneering work, has died at age 93.
Murray suffered a stroke at his suburban Boston home on Thanksgiving and died at Brigham and Women's Hospital on Monday, hospital spokesman Tom Langford said.
Since the first kidney transplants on identical twins, hundreds of thousands of transplants on a variety of organs have been performed worldwide. Murray shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1990 with Dr. E. Donnall Thomas, who won for his work in bone marrow transplants.
"Kidney transplants seem so routine now," Murray told The New York Times after he won the Nobel. "But the first one was like Lindbergh's flight across the ocean."
Murray's breakthroughs did not come without criticism, from ethicists and religious leaders. Some people "felt that we were playing God and that we shouldn't be doing all of these, quote, experiments on human beings," he told The Associated Press in a 2004 interview in which he also spoke out in favor of stem cell research.
Northern Calif. community mourns family swept to sea; search for missing teenager stopped
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Howard Kuljian and his family were out for a walk on a damp, overcast morning at Big Lagoon beach, playing fetch with their dog Fran as 10-foot surf churned the water just feet away like a washing machine.
Signs near the beach warned of "sneaker waves," the kind that suddenly roar ashore.
Kuljian tossed a stick that took the dog down to the water's edge, and in an instant, authorities said, a wave swallowed it, setting off a nightmarish scramble.
"Everything kind of snowballed from there," Coast Guard Lt. Bernie Garrigan said.
Kuljian's 16-year-old son, Gregory, ran to save the dog, only to be captured by the surging surf himself. Kuljian, 54, followed, and then his wife, Mary Scott, 57. On shore, their 18-year-old daughter, Olivia, and Gregory's girlfriend could only watch.
Mexican state beauty queen killed in shootout between suspected traffickers, soldiers
CULIACAN, Mexico (AP) -- A 20-year-old state beauty queen died in a gun battle between soldiers and the alleged gang of drug traffickers she was traveling with in a scene befitting the hit movie "Miss Bala," or "Miss Bullet," about Mexico's not uncommon ties between narcos and beautiful pageant contestants.
The body of Maria Susana Flores Gamez was found Saturday lying near an assault rifle on a rural road in a mountainous area of the drug-plagued state of Sinaloa, the chief state prosecutor said Monday. It was unclear if she had used the weapon.
"She was with the gang of criminals, but we cannot say whether she participated in the shootout," state prosecutor Marco Antonio Higuera said. "That's what we're going to have to investigate."
The slender, 5-foot-7-inch brunette was voted the 2012 Woman of Sinaloa in a beauty pageant in February. In June, the model competed with other seven contestants for the more prestigious state beauty contest, Our Beauty Sinaloa, but didn't win. The Our Beauty state winners compete for the Miss Mexico title, whose holder represents the country in the international Miss Universe.
Higuera said Flores Gamez was traveling in one of the vehicles that engaged soldiers in an hours-long chase and running gun battle on Saturday near her native city of Guamuchil in the state of Sinaloa, home to Mexico's most powerful drug cartel. Higuera said two other members of the drug gang were killed and four were detained.
Wal-Mart says it tried to cut ties to garment factory in Bangladesh before blaze killed 112
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) -- The garment factory in Bangladesh where a weekend fire killed at least 112 people had been making clothes for Wal-Mart without the giant U.S. retailer's knowledge, Wal-Mart said.
Wal-Mart said the Tazreen Fashions Ltd. factory was no longer authorized to produce merchandise for Wal-Mart but that a supplier subcontracted work to it "in direct violation of our policies."
"Today, we have terminated the relationship with that supplier," America's biggest retailer said in a statement Monday. "The fact that this occurred is extremely troubling to us, and we will continue to work across the apparel industry to improve fire safety education and training in Bangladesh."
The blaze on Saturday was one of the deadliest fires at a garment factory in Bangladesh and highlighted how the country's garment factories often ignore safety in the rush to supply major retailers in the U.S. and Europe. More than 300 people have died over the past six years in garment factory fires in the South Asian country.
Survivors of the weekend fire said an exit door was locked, fire extinguishers didn't work and apparently were there just to impress inspectors, and that when the fire alarm went off, bosses told workers to return to their sewing machines. Victims were trapped or jumped to their deaths from the eight-story building, which had no emergency exits.
Teenage 'Two and a Half Men' actor calls his show 'filth,' urges viewers to stay away
NEW YORK (AP) -- The teenage actor who plays the half in the hit CBS comedy "Two and a Half Men" says in a video posted online by a Christian church that the show is "filth" and that viewers shouldn't watch it.
Nineteen-year-old Angus T. Jones has been on the show, which used to feature bad-boy actor Charlie Sheen and remains heavy with sexual innuendo, since he was 10 but says he doesn't want to be on it anymore.
"Please stop watching it," Jones said. "Please stop filling your head with filth."
Jones plays Jake, the son of Jon Cryer's uptight divorced chiropractor character, Alan, and the nephew of Sheen's hedonistic philandering music jingle writer character, Charlie. Sheen, who has publicly criticized CBS, was fired and replaced by Ashton Kutcher, who plays billionaire Walden.
In the video posted by the Forerunner Christian Church in Fremont, Calif., Jones describes a search for a spiritual home. He says the type of entertainment he's involved in adversely affects the brain and "there's no playing around when it comes to eternity."

RALEIGH — Pat McCrory became the first Republican elected governor in 20 years, easily defeating his rival Tuesday and giving his party complete control of lawmaking for the first time since the 1800s.
The former Charlotte mayor's victory served as a slap to Democrats, whose iron grip on state government grew weak amid persistently high unemployment and scandals that tarnished the two most recent administrations.
With the GOP at the helm, the state's direction is expected to shift to the partisan right, a continuation of the work Republicans began two years ago when they assumed control at the statehouse.
"There is a sense of urgency in this state right now," the governor-elect said in his victory speech from a Charlotte hotel ballroom full of supporters. "People are hurting right now, and people are worried about their future, and that's what we are going to begin working on immediately."
McCrory held a double-digit advantage against Democrat Walter Dalton, according to early election results. Libertarian Barbara Howe finished a distant third. The Associated Press projected McCrory's victory an hour after the polls closed.
The result reflected the state of the race in the final months, as McCrory used a head start and his deep campaign coffers to maintain a comfortable lead.
Dalton, the current lieutenant governor, started with a handicap after unpopular incumbent Gov. Bev Perdue made a last-minute decision in January not to seek re-election. A Democratic primary battle in May further slowed Dalton's start, as he struggled to distance himself from the current administration and find a message that excited voters.
"We knew it was tough when we got in this race, and we did the most we could with limited resources," Dalton said in his concession speech in a Raleigh hotel ballroom. "But we always ran to win, and I am proud of that."
Reflecting the state's flagging economy, McCrory, 56, campaigned on a message of change. He pledged to "fix a broken government" and create jobs through tax cuts while offering few, if any, specifics about what he would do once he took the helm.
What he lacked in an agenda, McCrory replaced with enthusiasm, traveling the state with his squinty-eyed big grin. His political skin morphed throughout the two-year campaign as he moved hard right at times to appease wary conservatives in his party before shifting to the center in the final weeks, casting himself as a moderate who would seek bipartisanship.
McCrory focused much of his efforts on raising money. His total haul approached $12 million, and he used about $6.3 million on a television and radio advertising campaign that touted his experience as mayor. The ad campaign began in August – a month before his Democratic rival's – and doubled his lead in the polls.
"I believe he will do a better job of making sure we're spending money on the right things and not wasting money we don't have," said Jason Laborde, a Republican from Cary who voted for McCrory.
The N.C. governor's race was the No. 1 target for national Republicans, who spent $5 million to boost McCrory. The Republican Governors Association aired relentless attack ads against Dalton, linking him to the current administration and blasting his one-time support for a sales tax increase. McCrory pledged to run a positive campaign, a message he reiterated in his victory speech, but he broke his word by sending negative mailers against Dalton, and he failed to denounce false negative ads.
An outside Democratic group tried to help Dalton by attacking McCrory and questioning his ethics, but it failed to spend enough money to make a difference. Dalton's campaign struggled, too, raising about $4 million – less than what McCrory received in three and a half months.
Reversal from four years ago
McCrory's triumph atoned for his narrow defeat four years ago, when a Democratic tide, led by Barack Obama's campaign, lifted Perdue to victory, even in McCrory's home county. This year, Dalton didn't get an overwhelming boost as Republicans mounted a stronger challenge in the presidential race.
Perdue called McCrory to congratulate him soon after the results were announced. She pledged to work together with her former rival to ensure a smooth transition.
With the win, McCrory is the first Charlotte resident to become governor in 92 years, ending a jinx that reflects the state's power shift toward urban areas and away from rural eastern North Carolina, which the state's past three chief executives called home. "It can happen," McCrory said. "The curse is over."
McCrory's margin of victory falls just shy of the high water mark for a Republican in a statewide campaign. Former Republican Gov. Jim Martin took 55.1 percent in his 1988 re-election bid, the last time Republicans won the governor's mansion, improving on the 54 percent he claimed in 1984. Former Gov. Jim Holshouser won with 51 percent in 1972.
Unlike Martin and Holshouser, who needed surges from Republicans at the top of the ticket to win, McCrory cruised to victory despite a dead heat in the presidential race, and drew a number of ticket-splitters, such as Norman Massengill of Charlotte. A Republican, Massengill voted for Obama and McCrory.
"I have not been pleased with the way Democratic governors have led this state," said Massengill, 53, a warehouse worker. "I was pleased overall with what McCrory did for Charlotte."
Challenges from the start
McCrory is expected to travel Wednesday to Raleigh to start his transition. He begins with an ability to make an immediate impact on the state, more so than any recent governor. His first task is assembling a transition team to help recruit staff and state agency leaders. A new state law gives McCrory 1,000 jobs to fill with political allies – more than double the current amount.
But the broader challenges facing his administration are more profound.
The state is mired in joblessness, with the fifth-highest rate in the nation, and a static economy means crafting a state budget in the new year with few dollars to spare.
In his speech, McCrory appealed to the state's residents to work harder to help improve the state's standing and potential.
"What I want to tell the state is this: This state has unlimited opportunity," McCrory said. "What we need to do as individuals is make sure we all fulfill our potential. In fact, now with the tough competition around us … we need to exceed our potential, every one of us."
At the same time, McCrory is poised to make progress without doing much on his own, as some sectors of the state's economy slowly rebound and experts forecast 12 million new jobs nationwide in the next four years.
Another question remains about how he will work with the GOP-led legislature. The party's dominant position in the lawmaking process means legislation Democrats blocked, such as voter ID requirements, face near certain approval. But the governor-elect's proposal to revamp the tax code over many years will meet detractors who want to move quickly.

The Bears have cut ties with veteran OG Mansfield Wrotto. His contract was terminated on Thursday, the club announced.
Wrotto was signed by the Bears last season, but did not appear in any games. He has played in 27 NFL games with 12 starts in three seasons (2008-10) with the Seahawks and Bills.
Wrotto had spent some time earlier this offseason running with the first team at right tackle while last year's first-round pick, Gabe Carimi, was still rehabbing from last season's knee injury.

Okay, so last week we "reported" that Félix Hernández was close to becoming the highest-paid pitcher in the history of baseball. It was a funny thing, though ... nothing happened, even though everyone reported that it was going to happen. Now, sometimes that's just because everybody's just working through some last-minute contract details. The size of hotel suites, the number of flights for the family on private jets, free sodas, those sorts of things.
But this seems to be different. Here's the Seattle Times' Geoff Baker on Sunday:
Early yesterday, I started hearing rumblings that Felix Hernandez had failed a physical that he'd taken up in Seattle ahead of agreeing to a five-year contract extension that would pay him an additional $135.5 million starting in 2015. I placed a flurry of phone calls, including one to his agent, Will Polidor, asking whether this was true. Polidor did not return the call, nor did he reply to text messages.
That alone was disconcerting, because if it wasn't true that Hernandez had failed a physical — and I was led to believe last week that he'd already taken one — then most people would want to quickly nip that rumor in the bud and put it out. All it takes is a "No way, not true!" and you're done. Now, Polidor is a busy man. But he's known to get back in touch with people.
All we know is, the contract has not been announced, there have been rumblings since yesterday about Hernandez having some type of physical issue. We know that the pitcher's agent told a reporter Hernandez will not be participating in the World Baseball Classic as previously planned. And we have this afternoon's report by Buster Olney mentioning an issue with Hernandez's elbow. Then, we have Zduriencik declining to comment when asked point-blank whether Hernandez failed a physical or not.
Nobody's talking, and all we really know is that a) last week, the world's Baseball Writers of America were led to believe that Felix Hernández was about to sign a contract extension that would pay him $175 million over seven seasons, and b) neither of the principal parties are willing to say anything about this supposed contract, and c) there are rumors that Hernandez might have some sort of elbow injury.
And that's about it.
Somewhere, I saw a suggestion that Hernández's new deal might be modeled upon CC Sabathia's contract. That doesn't seem so likely to me. For one thing, Sabathia's deal, which began last season, guarantees him $122 million through 2017. It'll be $122 million or $142 million. From Cot's:
2017 salary guaranteed if Sabathia 1) does not end 2016 on the disabled list with a left shoulder injury, 2) does not spend more than 45 days in 2016 on the disabled list with a left shoulder injury or 3) does not make more than six relief appearances in 2016 because of a left shoulder injury
Basically, if Sabathia's got a shoulder injury in 2016, the Yankees can pay him either $5 million in 2017 to walk, or $25 million to pitch. If he doesn't have a shoulder injury in 2016, the Yankees owe him $25 million in 2017, no matter what else is going on.
This is a different situation, or seems to be. If there are concerns about Hernández's elbow now, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to insert a clause in his contract about some hypothetical elbow injury, far into the future. Not to mention the salient fact that Hernández is already signed through 2014. This just seems like a completely different situation. This seems like a situation where you either a) put everything on hold until Hernández passes a physical with flying psychedelic colors, or b) predicate anything past 2014 on Hernández being healthy in that season.
There's been talk about a five-year extension worth something like $135 million. Even these days, $135 million seems like a lot of money. Especially for a pitcher with a lot of mileage. About that mileage, though ... Yes, he's thrown a lot of innings. Via Baseball-Reference.com, here's a list of pitchers since 1969 who have thrown the most innings through their Age 26 seasons:
All of them excellent pitchers in their times. With only a few exceptions, these guys didn't generally age particularly well, with only Blyleven and Maddux posting Hall of Fame numbers as starting pitchers. Ah, but Sabathia didn't throw a ton of innings in his early 20s, and he's aged well. Hernández didn't throw a ton of innings in his early 20s, either. Not like Valenzuela and Gooden and Tanana and Saberhagen.
There's a new paradigm since the 1990s; they don't let 21-year-old pitchers throw 240 innings. We just don't yet know if the new paradigm is going to mean that fewer great young pitchers peak early before suffering catastrophic or chronic injuries. If Hernández has an elbow injury now, that doesn't matter. But if he gets a clean bill of health, the Mariners will be investing $135-some million in that new paradigm, which they helped establish with their prodigal hurler.

L.J. McIntosh, of Marist, drives to the hoop against Brother Rice. l Gary Middendorf~For Sun-Times Media
L.J. McIntosh was a freshman basketball player at Marist three years ago when Nick Valla established an individual scoring record for the RedHawks.
Valla knew with the young sharpshooter's career ahead of him, the record was probably not going to be his for too long.
"Nick told me one day I'd probably have a chance to break it," McIntosh said.
The senior Marist guard, who averages 22.4 points a game for the 12-4 RedHawks, did just that last Friday night in the team's 73-61 victory over visiting St. Patrick on a pair of free throws late in the first half.
He also averages five rebounds, four steals and three assists a game.
"I try to play with passion every game, work hard and help my team get the victory," said McIntosh, who scored 18 points in that game.
"The big thing was we came into the game 0-2 in [East Suburban Catholic] conference and it was an important game against a ranked team," he said.
For his accomplishments, McIntosh is the Chicago Sun-Times Athlete of the Week.
The University of Texas-Pan American-recruit caught the eye of Marist coach Gene Nolan more than a decade ago.
"He's been coming to our summer camp since he was in third grade," Nolan said. "He's obviously a very good player, but he's a better kid. He's extremely coachable, and everything he's done has come within a team setting and been about winning games."
McIntosh and Marist emerged last year when he helped the RedHawks equal the school record with 26 victories and knock out highly-ranked Public League powers Curie and Bogan before losing to three-time defending state champion Simeon in the Class 4A sectional final.
The 6-2 McIntosh is rangy, has good quickness and has developed into a clean and pure shooter.
"I've spent a lot of time with coach Nolan working and developing my shot," he said.
McIntosh said the Princeton offense Marist runs and its emphasis on cutting, movement and screening has helped his game flourish.
"I try to play with confidence," he said. "Also, I am playing with great teammates. I'm not scoring the ball by myself."
The team has been marked by a considerable absence, 6-5 junior Nic Weishar, a two-year starter who is out for the season recovering from an injury he sustained playing football. The RedHawks experienced early struggles playing without him.
With Lexus Williams and Zak Niemiera, McIntosh is the centerpiece of the RedHawks' attack.
"I think we're adjusting better with every game to his absence," McIntosh said. "Nic was always there, the one to get a rebound and cover up for other guys. Now, we realize it's every guy's responsibility."
As he approaches the home stretch at Marist, the scoring record has prompted reflections on his prep career.
"The big thing I think about is how we've progressed over the four years. My freshman year, we didn't win a ton of games, we lost some tough, close games, but we still loved each other as a team.
"Now we're trying to do the same this year we did last year and make a great run. The biggest thing I'll remember is how we progressed over the four years," McIntosh said.

This route makes a nice warm up for many of the other harder lines at this cliff and it's a great climb. Start is the same as for Lambda but at the first bolt head left and continue to diagonal up and left. Use a long runner when clipping the first bolt on Lambda to reduce the rope drag. The entire climb involves making long reaches to really positive horizontals, many of these horizontals offer great hand jams for rests. Continue to a large ledge under the upper overhanging headwall.
Locate the obvious orange Arete (Floaters, 5.10d). This climb is the second bolted line to the right from Floaters. (There's a mixed line between Floaters and Cross Eyed and Blind that is not in the Cater Guide, 3rd edition).

While the Republican legislature has been been providing a fresh look at state government, one area that appears to have escaped their gaze is the N.C. State Ports.
One member of the Ports Authority, Luther Hodges Jr., thinks the legislature is missing an opportunity by not moving toward privatization like the port operations in other states.
Hodges thinks the state should create a public/private corporation to run the state ports in Wilmington and Morehead City, so it could operate more like a business, hiring top-level professional managers, and operate outside the normal politics of state government.
Such a major corporation, operating outside of the State Personnel Act, and with a highly competent and respected Board of Directors, could make a great contribution to the success of transportation in 21st century North Carolina, Hodges wrote in a memo.
Hodges, a resident of Blowing Rock, is not just any Ports Authority member. He was U.S. under commerce (and acting) secretary under Jimmy Carter, was once chairman of North Carolina National Bank (now Bank of America) and in 1978 was a Democratic Senate candidate. Hodges is now a Republican. His father was a North Carolina governor and John F. Kennedys commerce secretary.
While the Republican legislature is considering privatization in other areas, such as industrial recruiting and schools, it has not seriously looked at the ports.
Tata takeover
The nine-member State Ports Authority supposedly oversees the ports, but Hodges said it has been reduced to an advisory capacity and is now being run by state Transportation Secretary Tony Tata.
That wasnt always the case. The State Ports Authority used to run the ports. That changed in 2011, when the ports were moved by the legislature from being a semi-autonomous agency under the state Department of Commerce to the control of the state Department of Transportation.
Gene Conti, the DOT secretary under Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue, interpreted the new law as giving him hiring and firing power over the ports staff. Tata has followed that policy.
When I asked Tata about this several months ago, he said the arrangement makes sense because the ports are closely tied to highways and railroads. At the time, he had recently met with executives of Shuanghui Holdings, the Chinese company that purchased pork producer Smithfield Foods, to discuss using North Carolina ports for their shipping.
The current law and structure under the NCDOT is necessary to efficiently manage the ports in a way that maximizes the growth and efficiency, aligning them with the governors strategic 25 year vision, Tata said in a statement to the Wilmington Star News recently.
Ports-railroad merger
But Hodges thinks that making the state ports more of a state government agency rather than less so is 180 degrees wrong. Hodges likes the idea of merging the State Ports Authority with the N.C. Railroad Company into a separate entity. He noted that the N.C. Railroad has the financial resources to provide innovations in the ports.
A corporation could provide expertise and stability needed for the ports, Hodges argues. Right now ports directors often change when administrations turn over, and port authority board members are appointed by the legislature for two-year periods not enough time to develop expertise.
In short, it is no way to run a business, Hodges said.
Which is why Hodges recently sent a letter to House Speaker Thom Tillis saying he did not wish to be reappointed to the State Ports Authority board when his term ends this month. In the letter, Hodges said that while the Ports Authority board had legal liability, it no longer had any real decision-making ability.
During my brief tenure, dating from my appointment to the board by you in 2012, we have seen four resignations of experienced, highly qualified members of the board, all disagreeing with the current situation, which leaves the Secretary of Transportation in total control, Hodges wrote to Tillis.
Among the resignations was the chairman, former Rep. Danny McComas, the owner of a Wilmington shipping company who was appointed to the post by Perdue even though he is a longtime Republican.
International trade and the future of our States ports simply require an active, conscientious board of directors with business backgrounds, not another political Advisory Board! Hodges wrote.

With the release of 911 logs from last Thursday, we now
know what the mother of Ottawa teens Blake and Blaine Romes told police when
she discovered them missing.
Shellie Grothause told dispatchers Thursday morning she
was unable to reach her son while she was at work, so she stopped by her
trailer in Ottawa. What she found was her two boys missing, along with
17-year-old housemate Michael Fay and her Chevy HHR.
She discovered a handgun, and enough blood that hospitals
were contacted. The Bureau of Criminal Investigation was called to the scene
for a possible homicide investigation.
An Amber Alert was posted for the three boys, and
canceled after police found Fay with the vehicle in Columbus Thursday
afternoon. Police said Fay provided locations for the bodies of the Romes
One body was reportedly pulled from beneath a trailer at
the Ottawa trailer park, another found in a ditch nearby.
A funeral was held for the brothers Wednesday.

How does Longboat compare?
Date: October 7, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Longboat Key Town Manager Bruce St. Denis says the town will not see a decrease in the level of police service, even though a vacant police-officer position will not be filled for the second year in a row.
In the last two years, the department has been reduced from 16 police officers to 14 officers. In 2008, Police Capt. Judd Jensen and officer George "Bob" Brown retired, saving the town approximately $175,000 because the department reorganized without filling the positions. And this year, the town did not fill the position vacated by retired police officer Willie Jackson.
However, the vacant police captain position left open when Capt. Steve Roehl retired Oct. 1 will be filled.
Department changes mean that two of the department's four patrol units now have three officers instead of four. But because of minimum manning requirements, none of the four shifts can fall below two officers at any given time.
The department's staffing levels are further stressed by the absence of two officers who are on administrative leave.
Police Chief Al Hogle said his department uses a combination of the three ratios to come up with police-courage ratios island-wide.
