FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) - Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, charged with murder for what prosecutors say was the execution-style killing of a friend near his house, was denied bail on Thursday.
Hernandez's lawyer argued that his celebrity status means even if he wanted to flee he couldn't and that the case against him is circumstantial.
"He wants to clear his name," lawyer James Sultan told the judge.
But Bristol County Assistant District Attorney Bill McCauley called the evidence in the June 17 slaying of Odin Lloyd overwhelming and said police had made discoveries Wednesday when they searched a condo Hernandez leased and a Hummer registered to him that was parked there.
A jogger found Lloyd's body in a remote area of an industrial park about a mile from Hernandez's home in North Attleborough 10 days ago. Lloyd was a semi-pro football player from Boston who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.
Prosecutors said Hernandez orchestrated the killing because Lloyd talked to the wrong people at a nightclub. Hernandez, a 2011 Pro Bowl selection who signed a five-year contract with the Patriots worth $40 million, could face life in prison if convicted.
In laying out more of the government's case Thursday, McCauley said prosecutors believe that the murder weapon was a .45-caliber Glock and that a gun Hernandez is seen holding on his home surveillance video, a weapon they haven't found, appears to be a Glock.
The prosecutor said that inside the Hummer investigators recovered an ammunition clip for .45-caliber bullets and that ammunition was found inside the condo. McCauley said a photograph had emerged online of Hernandez holding a Glock.
District Attorney Sam Sutter would not be specific when asked by reporters after the hearing when the photo was taken, saying only that the information would emerge with the continuing investigation.

Sizing Up Exchange Market Competition
This issue brief offers an early look into how competitive the health insurance exchanges (also called marketplaces) are under the Affordable Care Act in selected states. Through analysis of enrollment data released by seven states (California, Connecticut, Minnesota, New York, Nevada, Rhode Island, and Washington) this brief finds that exchange markets in California and New York are shaping up to be more competitive than their individual markets were in 2012 while those of Connecticut and Washington show less competition. In several states, market shares of individual insurers have shifted significantly compared to the individual market prior to the ACA, pointing to the potential for greater price competition in the future and the influence of new entrants to the market.Issue Brief Read More
Data Note: How Many People Have Nongroup Health Insurance?
The implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has focused attention on the composition of the nongroup market: how it looked before the new regulatory provisions take effect and how it will change afterwards. There are several ways of answering this question, depending on the time period for measuring enrollment and the information source. There is substantial turnover among people with nongroup coverage, which means that the number of people covered at the beginning of a year (or at any other point in time) is quite different than the number of people who keep that coverage throughout the whole year.Issue Brief Read More

Not an All-Star, Greinke doesn't feel snubbed
Brewers' ace acknowledges deep pool of talented NL pitchers
MILWAUKEE -- Zack Greinke would have loved to make the All-Star team, especially considering the game is at his old stomping grounds in Kansas City. Greinke said he's still holding out hope of making the team in the event the National League needs a replacement.But Greinke, who is 9-2 with a 3.08 ERA even after allowing five runs in six innings against the Marlins on Monday night, does not consider himself an All-Star snub. "I thought depending on how many relievers made it, [I would have a chance]," Greinke said. "There's so many good starters this year -- there's half a dozen that have done just as well as the guys that made it, so I can't really complain. The starters this year, it's got to be the best in the last 20 years, I don't know. Maybe the last 30 years. It's pretty amazing." He added: "You can't please everyone." NL manager Tony La Russa has found that out, though considering this is his sixth All-Star Game, he knew it already. Cincinnati's Johnny Cueto is so upset about missing the cut, his agent Bryce Dixson suggested he may file a grievance through the Major League Baseball Players Association. They were upset that La Russa cited as a reason for the "snub" Cueto's start on the Sunday before the All-Star Game -- an assignment that previously would have disqualified him, but no longer does according to the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. Greinke said he sympathizes with La Russa's tough task. "I wanted to make the team, but it's not an easy job picking," Greinke said. "Cueto has pitched great. There's other guys who have pitched great, too. You can't make everybody happy. No matter who [La Russa] picks, there's going to be good arguments." Greinke added, "It's kind of like the BCS stuff," referring to college football's much-debated and recently remodeled system of picking a national champion. Asked whether he was holding out hope of being a replacement, Greinke said, "I hope so. Still, there's other guys who deserve it, too."
Catcher Maldonado's secret weapon: the bunt
MILWAUKEE -- Since being called up to Milwaukee in late May after an injury to Jonathan Lucroy, Brewers catcher Martin Maldonado has happily done whatever has been asked of him.And he's even done some things nobody really expected. Maldonado registered his third bunt hit of the season on Monday night -- an impressive feat for a 6-foot-1, 225-pound catcher who will never blow anyone away with his speed on the basepaths. Other big leaguers with three bunt singles include speedsters like Angels rookie Mike Trout, Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler and the Marlins' Jose Reyes. On May 30, his second game of the year, Maldonado also successfully executed one of Milwaukee's Major League-leading eight squeeze plays, proving you don't have to be little to play small ball. "It shows what a guy can do if he just thinks about the game, looks around at the defense, thinks about what the team needs at the time and how he can help the team get on base," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Everybody on our team should be looking and saying, 'How in the world can this guy get bunt base hits?' It should rub off on them. Sometimes it doesn't, and it baffles me, but it's a great example of what you can do to help us win." When Maldonado came to Milwaukee from Triple-A Nashville, Roenicke knew he was getting a quality defensive catcher with a strong arm. The 25-year-old has proven that to be true this season by catching four runners stealing, while not allowing a single passed ball. Maldonado has also been able to complement his work behind the plate with production in the batters box. In exactly 100 plate appearances entering Tuesday's game against Miami, Maldonado owned a .267 batting average with 16 RBIs and five home runs. Roenicke said he's been generally pleased with Maldonado's at-bats, his defense -- and of course, the bunts. "He's doing a nice job," Roenicke said. "He's getting used to the pitchers more. Still going to be a ways, I think, until he gets the other teams we're playing and can lock in on their lineups and how to get guys out. But he learns pretty fast. He's always asking questions. I think he's going to be pretty good."
Lucroy targets July 20, but faces obstacles
MILWAUKEE -- Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy could be cleared for hitting before the end of this week, and has a tentative -- very tentative, he cautioned -- date in mind for returning to the Major League lineup.That date is July 20, when the Brewers begin a three-game series at Cincinnati. But the timetable remains very flexible, and Lucroy has multiple hurdles to clear before his name appears in a Milwaukee lineup. Lucroy is expected to undergo another X-ray this week of the right hand he fractured in late May, and must be fully healed before medical officials let him pick up a bat. Lucroy would then have to progress from a tee to soft toss to regular batting practice before a Minor League rehabilitation assignment. Only after all of those steps would the Brewers consider activating him from the DL. "My hand strength is feeling pretty good," Lucroy said. "Hopefully we can continue to get stronger. We're over the hump now; we just have to wait." Lucroy had been a bona fide All-Star Game candidate and the Brewers' No. 2 run producer before he was injured, trailing just Ryan Braun in RBIs. Martin Maldonado and George Kottaras have shared catching duties since Lucroy went down. The Brewers will have to make a decision on their catching corps when Lucroy is healthy, but that call is still weeks away.
Last call
FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reported Tuesday that the Brewers were scouting Double-A Frisco, lending further credence to the Rangers as a potential match should the Brewers decide to trade right-hander Zack Greinke. The Braves are another potential Greinke suitor. Right-hander Shaun Marcum is still experiencing some discomfort in his right elbow and may not be ready to rejoin the rotation immediately after the All-Star break, as the Brewers had hoped. Roenicke said club officials had yet to discuss whether Marcum would need a Minor League rehabilitation assignment, saying, "We haven't got that far yet."
Norichika Aoki's successful squeeze bunt on Monday was the Brewers' eighth this season, twice as many, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, as any other team. The Reds have four, as many as Aoki himself.

The epinephrine mechanism in my body goes off too easily. I have had some bad experiences in vehicles, so if I'm in a car and I see another vehicle that looks like it is moving toward me in any way, I get a shot of adrenaline that makes my whole body ready to spring into action.
More often than not, these situations are harmless and require no action. Still, I'm left with a metallic taste in my mouth and shaking hands.
There is another weird side effect of an epinephrine rush. My armpits hurt for several minutes afterward! It's a shooting pain that runs deep, and I've never heard of anyone else experiencing this.

Q:can you walk on this black and white paper thanksAsked on 1/5/2012 by Anonymous from australia
1 answer
A:No. Corrugated paper is not meant to be walked on. It is raised and the first time someone would step on it, it would crush it. Also the raised ridges would make it very difficult for women with heels. I would recommend checkered poly vinyl (BGVCHR BKW ) or flat checkered paper ( BGFPAT CHE) if you are wanting to walk on it.Answered on 1/6/2012 by csr

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Christmas may be six-plus months away, but it's already on the minds of Gov. Rick Perry and many in the Texas Legislature.
Perry signed a bipartisan bill into law Thursday that removing any legal risks for anyone who says "Merry Christmas" in a Texas public school. He said "religious freedom does not mean freedom from religion."
Traditional holiday symbols such as a menorah or nativity scene also are protected, as long as more than one religion and a secular symbol are also reflected.
The measure's sponsor, Houston Republican Rep. Dwayne Bohac, says it will provide schools cover from "ridiculous" lawsuits sparked by excessive political correctness.
Bohac's bill sailed through both chambers to Perry's desk.
About 10 Santa Claus impersonators rang sleigh bells as he signed it.

If Jake Locker isn't the starter under center for the Titans in Week One — and we continue to hear Matt Hasselbeck is the front-runner — it's not an indictment on Locker as much as it's a testament to Hasselbeck.
That has been the consistent message from the multiple sources we have talked to since it was revealed that the pair will battle it out for the job under center this offseason.
Word is both players were impressive throughout offseason training. Locker worked hard in the weight room, slimming down by design, and showing the tremendous work ethic that helped attract the Titans to him last April. The key for Locker is becoming more consistent. When he is making the proper drops and his footwork is clean, he is capable of just about anything while throwing the football. But it's a process — just as it was for Hasselbeck earlier in his career. The good news is that Locker, like Hasselbeck, has the desire to be great and he is willing to work.
Hasselbeck, though, is at his best when he has a chip on his shoulder. And while we're told that the beauty of both players is that they're only concern is bettering themselves — not worrying about who is in front of or behind them — it is clear Hasselbeck is throwing the ball extremely well as he looks to build on a solid '11 campaign.
Of course, having a full offseason has been a great benefit for both players. So is having a number of skill-position players that weren't around last season. Top pick Kendall Wright looks like a player who can be an immediate difference-maker, we hear. He was held out of the club's June minicamp because of a shoulder injury, but he impressed during OTAs with the amount of information he was able to absorb — not to mention the great suddenness and explosiveness he showed with the football in his hands.
Another rookie who continues to impress is fifth-round TE Taylor Thompson, a converted college defensive end. Thompson has shown natural hands and an ability to create in space and, though he is raw, he could eventually help change the dynamic of the offense as the Titans look to incorporate more two-TE sets.

MORIAH — The high-traffic Moriah Center Bridge closed for repairs Monday morning, forcing drivers to detour on twisty and narrow local roads.
The shutdown of the 5,000-vehicle-a-day span means a car detour on Titus Road, which is considered too tortuous for big trucks.
The truck detour is on Route 9N/22 and Pelfershire Road.
The bridge was closed for emergency repairs after a State Department of Transportation inspection earlier this month reduced its weight limit to 5 tons, which barred school buses, fire engines and heavy trucks from crossing it.
Moriah Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said the closure is to replace the wooden deck and some support girders to bring the weight limit back up.
"They say it's closed until Friday, but I hope they can reopen it before that," he said. "That's an important connector for our town."
The bridge connects the hamlets of Mineville and Witherbee with the rest of the town and is the main route for traffic off the Adirondack Northway headed for Vermont or the Lake Champlain region.
The repairs are being done by the Essex County Department of Public Works, with additional support from A.P. Reale Construction of Chilson.
County Department of Public Works Superintendent Anthony LaVigne got approval from the County Board of Supervisors last week for $70,000 in emergency repairs.
He said the repairs had to be done before Moriah Central School classes start in September or student bus routes would be thrown into chaos.
The bridge over Mill Brook had already been slated for replacement in spring 2013. A temporary Mabey bridge was considered at one point, but LaVigne said it was better to repair the existing bridge.
The car detour only takes motorists a couple of miles out of their way, but the alternate truck route is about 10 miles longer.

text: Izanagi/Izanami isn't a true genjutsu. It's a mix of genjutsu & ninjutsu. I think Uchiha clan having very strong spiritual chakra(power of sage) got the ability to shift reality to illusion & vice versa at will. Senju clan has very strong physical chakra(will of the sage). So if Izanagi/Izanami is used with the Senju's powers, it drastically increases the powers of shifting reality & illusion. Put bijuu's chakra( which are powerful than even the sage's own), then you're basically a creator like the sage himself who can create life at will. I don't think these jutsus require Senju DNA, it's more like a steroid or catalyst, drastically increasing the potency. I also think genetic link with either clan helps( Tobi's izanagi lasted at least 5 minutes compared to Danzo's 1 minute).

The NHL is taking the right steps in curtailing hits to the head, and should learn a lesson from NASCAR and not let vigilante justice run their sport.

The NHL's general managers agreed Wednesday they will make a rule change dealing with hits to the head at their major annual meeting in March. But at this point they have not agreed on how the change will be made, other than the goal is to eliminate blindside hits and perhaps contact between a shoulder and a player's head. What the league's GMs did agree to do when their meetings in Toronto ended Wednesday was to establish a committee that will study the issue and make a report to the GMs at the March meeting. At that point, all of the GMs surveyed at the end of Wednesday's meeting agreed there will likely be a rule change after further discussion.David Shoalts, The Globe & Mail

BY LOHR McKINSTRY
---- — JAY — The Town of Jay has been awarded a $400,000 Community Development Block Grant to renovate homes.
The Essex County Housing Assistance Program of Essex County will be administering the grant for those meeting the income guidelines.
For one person, the maximum income to qualify is $33,500, and for two it's $38,000, increasing by $4,750 a person for additional people in a household.
Anyone who meets the income guidelines may fill out an application at the Town of Jay Supervisor's Office from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Completed applications must be returned by May 31 to the Supervisor's Office for consideration.
"We anticipate being able to rehab at least 13 homes," Jay Town Supervisor Randy Douglas said in a news release.
"We currently have a waiting list; however, this round of funding is intended to assist those that meet the income criteria and received damages related to Hurricane Irene with an emphasis on energy-related and health- and safety-related issues."
He said that after the needs of the existing waiting-list applicants and Irene victims have been met, they will review other applicants for assistance.
"So we encourage all interested income eligible parties to apply."
This is the third such grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Block Grant Program through the Governor's Office of Small Cities that the town has received in the last six years.

The 791 points in Week One were the second-most scored in any week in NFL history. It's perhaps no surprise, then, that only Sunday's Browns-Bengals and Raiders-Dolphins tilts have Over-Unders of less than 40 points.
Do I suspect a few totals could be inflated this week? I do. However, I am generally leery of playing Unders unless I'm convinced I have isolated an element that likely will lead to less scoring than expected. I have begun to prefer Overs in recent years, as I've had better luck in finding value on that side of the ledger.
However, I'm inclined to pass on totals this week, focusing instead on four sides I particularly like. The Week Two column also gives me a chance to welcome back an old acquaintance — the home underdog.
On to the picks:
Cleveland (+7) at Cincinnati
On Saturday, I'll watch some college football, perhaps a good deal of Alabama at Arkansas, but I can assure you I also will watch the races at Belmont Park, Arlington Park and Kentucky Downs. I love horse racing, and handicapping the races is my major non-football hobby.
I mention this because I can't help but draw a parallel between the Bengals' performance Monday night and a favorite angle of some thoroughbred handicappers — the "middle move." A middle move is when a horse gains ground before the stretch but doesn't sustain it when the real running begins. While the horse has lost, some handicappers will see the mid-race progress as a positive — and a chance to make some money in the horse's next race.
Let's look back to Monday night. The Bengals trailed 17-3 early in the second quarter, but they cut that deficit in half with a BenJarvus Green-Ellis six-yard TD turn to cap a 13-play, 81-yards drive near the end of the quarter. Then, to begin the second half, the Bengals put together a 12-play, 79-yard drive that ended in a 19-yard field goal, reducing Baltimore's lead to 17-13. The Bengals didn't score again, and the Ravens rolled to a 44-13 win.
However, I liked what I saw from Cincinnati before the game got out of hand. Anything close to the Bengals' best form from Week One will be too much for Cleveland, which has a limited offense and a banged-up defense. The Browns got a bushel of opportunities to beat the Eagles in Week One and couldn't win the game. The Bengals don't figure to be as giving.
Wilkening's pick: Cincinnati
Houston (-7) at Jacksonville
The Jaguars' offense is a work in progress, certainly, but it's improving, as it showed in Week One at Minnesota, when it racked up 355 yards and converted 9-of-18 third downs. Yes, this is an attack that doesn't have a lot of punch — Jacksonville gained only 4.7 yards per play Sunday — and QB Blaine Gabbert still doesn't inspire great confidence.
Nevertheless, I believe the Jaguars can be pesky, if nothing else, in their home opener against Houston. The Texans really weren't challenged in Week One, with Miami falling apart late in the first half. What's more, Houston's offense was solid but not spectacular.
The Jaguars are a stronger foe than Miami, and they are a divisional foe. This could be more of a grinder than expected. The Jaguars' defense is better than it showed in Week One, and Jacksonville can get enough stops to keep this close.
Wilkening's pick: Jacksonville
Tennessee (+6) at San Diego
The Titans have not defeated the Chargers since Sept. 27, 1992, when the then-Houston Oilers won 27-0 at the Astrodome. Oilers QB Warren Moon threw for a touchdown and rushed for another, and backup Cody Carlson even played in the blowout win. For the record, the Oilers were 11-point favorites. The No. 1 song at the time? "End of the Road," by Boyz II Men. Also, Hi-Five was No. 9 on the charts with "She's Playing Hard To Get." Man, that song is great.
Forgive me — I loved eighth grade. I also love the Chargers in Week Two, and not just because they have won eight in a row in the series. I believe the Chargers can improve off their Week One win at Oakland, when they gained just 258 yards on offense. I also liked what I saw from the Chargers' defense in Week One; San Diego surrendered only 4.7 yards per play and just one touchdown (in the final minute of play).
The Titans are surely better than they showed in Week One, but I worry about their ability to compete against good teams away from Nashville. There will be a time to side with Tennessee, but it's not this week.
Wilkening's pick: San Diego
Minnesota (-1) at Indianapolis
I'm not going to hold the Colts' Week One loss at Chicago against them. The Bears have an outstanding offense, and the Colts are rebuilding. However, Indianapolis showed a little promise in defeat. On offense, the Colts gained 5.7 yards per play. The defense, though overmatched, scored the game's first touchdown.
The Colts are improved, and I expect a better effort in their home opener. The Vikings are no pushovers — their offense played quite well in the 26-23 OT win over Jacksonville, and their defense can generate a strong pass rush — but they hardly have the look of reliable road favorites. They could not put away the Jaguars in Week One, and it almost cost them dearly. I'm more inclined to play Indianapolis to take a step forward than to take Minnesota to run its record to 2-0.
Wilkening's pick: Indianapolis
Last week: 3-1
Season to date: 3-1

The Winter Meetings could lead to some signings for the Giants.
B.J. Upton's deal with the Braves may affect the Giants' talks with Angel Pagan.
The San Francisco Giants have until Friday at 9 p.m. to offer Brian Wilson a contract. After that he's a free agent, and reports indicate that the Los Angeles Dodgers might be at the top of his...
The Giants and their players will receive a lot of money for winning the World Series.
In his first year with the franchise, Angel Pagan played an integral role in the San Francisco Giants success. Now that it's time to talk about a new contract, the two sides aren't seeing eye-to-eye.
Emmanuel Burriss will not be making a return to the Giants after accepting an undisclosed minor league deal with the Cincinnati Reds earlier this week.
To protect them from the evil Rule 5 draft, the Giants added five players to their 40-man roster
Pagan had one of his best seasons yet with the Giants in 2012. Now a free agent, could he return to the Bay in 2013?
Being named MVP can give a player a new outlook on the game. That was the case for Buster Posey on Thursday night.
Reliever Jeremy Affeldt signed his new contract with the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.

The Chef Executive Officer of Bay Medical -Sacred Heart Health System is leaving the job less than a year after the lease.
In a release sent by the hospital Monday, Steve Johnson says after 34 years in hospital administration he would like to pursue other opportunities.
Bay Med says during Johnson's tenure he achieved numerous milestones including the expansion of the emergency department, Level two trauma designation and the new tower.
Johnson's contract includes two years severance pay at just under $400,000 per year. If he finds another job, he will get the lessor of $250,000 or the balance of the severance.
Below is the release from Bay Medical-Sacred Heart:
Bay Medical‐Sacred Heart Announces CEO Resignation
Panama City, FL ‐‐ Bay Medical Center‐Sacred Heart Health System today announced the resignation of Chief Executive Officer Steve Johnson. Johnson says that after 34 years as a hospital administrator, he would like to pursue other opportunities such as healthcare consulting that will allow him to spend more time with his family.
"As CEO of Bay Medical Center since 2001, Steve has poured his heart and soul into this hospital," said Bay Medical‐Sacred Heart Board of Trustees Chairman Scott Clemons. "That dedication along with his skillful leadership has been essential to the hospital's success in our community while building a solid foundation for its continued excellence. We are deeply saddened by his decision, but respect his desire to make a career change and to spend more time with his family."
During Johnson's tenure, Bay Medical achieved numerous milestones including:
"It has been a privilege and a pleasure working with the employees, physicians, board members and volunteers of this organization, and I am very proud of all that we have accomplished together," said Johnson. "I feel that the hospital is well positioned for the future and has an outstanding management team in place, so I believe now is the right time for
me to move on to my next opportunity and for the organization to move on to the next chapter of leadership."
Sacred Heart Health System President and CEO Susan Davis said, "Steve has done a great job for Bay Medical and the community it serves. Under his leadership, Bay Medical became one of the nation's top‐rated hospitals for patient outcomes. His understanding of the changes in healthcare and his vision paved the way for Bay Medical to achieve longterm financial stability through a joint venture with Sacred Heart and LHP Hospital Group. He leaves a hospital that is
free of debt and better prepared to maintain its role as the leading provider of healthcare in Bay County."
LHP Division President Paul Kappelman said, "Steve and his team have been able to accomplish great things for this hospital and for the community. The driving force has been to do what is in the best interest of the patient and that is why Bay Medical‐Sacred Heart is a quality leader in our industry. We will be looking for that same kind of dedication and passion in our next CEO."
Bay Medical‐Sacred Heart will immediately begin a national search for a new CEO and says the selection process will be extremely collaborative, involving hospital leaders, community members, physicians, and other key constituents.
"We are committed to finding a candidate who is not only an industry leader in healthcare, but also is a good fit for the community," Kappelman said. "We want someone who has the same commitment to delivering the highest quality patient care and improving patient, employee and physician satisfaction. Steve has built an outstanding leadership team, so we anticipate a smooth transition."

It was the most expensive political contest in the state's history, and one of the nastiest and most colorful. But in the end, Tuesday's election for the U.S. Senate was as easy a win for Democrat Richard Blumenthal as had been predicted at the start.
Led by strong support from women and unaffiliated voters, Blumenthal notched a decisive victory over Republican Linda McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, who poured at least $45 million of her own money into her first campaign for public office.
"I have something money can't buy, I have you,'' he said to sustained cheers. Repeating a line that became one of his standard attacks, he added, " Connecticut today had an election, not an auction."
The crowd reacted with enthusiasm and Blumenthal softened his tone a few moments later. "To my opponent, I extend a hand after a tough and difficult campaign," Blumenthal said, adding that all sides needed to work together.
Across town at the Connecticut Convention Center, McMahon told supporters that they should be proud to have drawn attention to important issues. "And don't think I'm going to stop pushing," she said, to roars of "Linda! Linda!"
With her daughter, Stephanie, by her side, and her husband, Vince, standing farther back, McMahon said she had spoken to Blumenthal. "I have told him it was a good race," McMahon said, to the noisy disapproval of some of her supporters.
"No, no, no," she said, quieting the crowd, before telling them they should support all of the newly elected officials "because if they succeed, we succeed."
For Blumenthal, the state's longtime attorney general, the victory fullfills an ambition long stymied by the fact that other Democrats already held the state's two Senate seats. The man who repeatedly spurned opportunities to run for governor stepped into the Senate race in January just hours after the battered incumbent, U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd, announced he wasn't seeking reelection.
At first, it didn't look like it would be much of a battle: Blumenthal led McMahon by a margin of almost three to one in a Quinnipiac University poll conducted shortly after he entered the race.
But McMahon made it a contest. First there was the May disclosure in the New York Times that Blumenthal had misstated his military experience, falsely claiming to have served in Vietnam. The McMahon campaign, with its crack opposition research team, quickly took credit for tipping the Times off to a videotape of Blumenthal's misstatement.
Then after McMahon wrested the GOP nomination away from the one-time frontrunner, former congressman Rob Simmons in the August primary, she launched an aggressive advertising blitz and Blumenthal's lead began to dwindle.
It was a disagreeable campaign, one in which policy differences often played a secondary role to personal attacks. Voters learned a great deal about the business practices of McMahon's company and Blumenthal's military service and less about where the candidates stood on key issues. Both Blumenthal and McMahon showed a reluctance to take stands on any issue that was vaguely controversial and each operated, to some degree, in a bubble, shielded from the press by a cadre of campaign staffers.
McMahon's advertising emphasized her career as a CEO, defining her image, and tried to rewrite Blumenthal's. Through a relentless advertising, her campaign recast the popular attorney general's public persona, so that he'd been seen as a cagey liar prone to inflating his military record instead of a tireless advocate for the people. For a while, McMahon's strategy appeared to work. Blumenthal, reeling from what was the first deep scratch in the veneer of his carefully honed image, went underground. McMahon stepped up her attack and by late September, Blumenthal's lead had fallen to 3 percentage points.
Ultimately, though, McMahon couldn't overcome history: Connecticut has not sent a Republican to the U.S. Senate since Lowell P. Weicker Jr. in 1982. She had trouble with unaffiliated voters and was unable to win over women, despite the fact she would have become the first female senator in the state's history. Some women were turned off by some of the racier images of WWE, others didn't like her aggressive advertising campaign.
Ideologically, McMahon is a middle-of-the-road Republican who believes same-sex marriage ought to be left to the states and who favors abortion rights (although she believes minors ought to have a parent's permission before undergoing the procedure). Early disclosures that she donated thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates in past elections – and didn't vote in the 2006 general election and the 2008 Republican primary -- gave credence to those who dismissed her as a dabbler and a means to gain respectability.
But over the course of 13 months, McMahon impressed many with her willingness to work. She crisscrossed the state, attending fairs and walking main streets, and making personal connections with voters.
Blumenthal is more of a populist than a doctrinaire liberal: on the campaign trail, he often came across as a combination of Bruce Springsteen and former TV consumer advocate Mike Boguslawski (who was known for the catch pharse, "I'm in your corner").
In a year when being a Democrat appeared to be a liability, even in a blue state like Connecticut, Blumenthal played up his independence. He expressed his opposition to the bank bailouts championed by President Obama and Dodd. McMahon said she would have voted for the bailout while "holding my nose."

There are times in sports where you just can't look at the final score and determine how well a team played.
That is the lesson Goshen High School boys tennis coach Daniel Love wants his team to take away from a 5-0 NLC loss to the Warsaw Tigers Tuesday at the Goshen Middle School courts.
The Redskins entered the match with a 9-1 record.
"I'm not sure you can ever be truly satisfied with a loss," the coach said. "We did put together some good matches after getting off to slow starts on some of the courts. We found ways to get our teeth into the matches."
Warsaw was a 4-1 winner over Goshen last season.
"The only point we won was at No. 1 doubles (Sylas Buller and Sam Stegelmann) and we graduated them," Love said. "Warsaw had a very different lineup tonight."
The lesson about not looking just at the final had already registered with Goshen senior Austin Stutzman.
"There are times when you can play your best tennis and still get beat," Goshen's No. 2 singles player said. "The 5-0 score is deceiving as to how well we played. There were close sets. We made Warsaw feel our presence out there on the courts."
Stutzman's match was one of two that went three sets before he dropped a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 decision to Will Petro.
"There were a lot of long points and the match was close the whole time. It really could have gone either way," Stutzman said.
Stutzman agrees with his coach that the Goshen team can take some positives away from this one.
"We can be encouraged because we knew coming in Warsaw would be the strongest team we had faced to this point of the season," he said. "I think a lot of the guys are happy with the way they played. Like always there were some things we could have done better. My serves could have been better. I had some double faults in key situations."
The other three-setter was at No. 2 double as Caleb Ray and Nikos Schlitt of Warsaw outlasted senior Derick Hostetler and freshman Logan Troyer 4-6, 7-6, 6-1 in a marathon that lasted nearly three hours.
"We played good tennis spots," Love said. "But there were times when the peaks and the valleys were too far apart. You are always going to have highs and lows but we need to smooth them out a little.
"We got off to slow starts on some courts and you can't really blame it on the three-day weekend because Warsaw had the same situation. We also had some matches were we did not finish great."
The Goshen JV suffered its first loss of the season by a 10-5 count. Sophomore Corbin Harrison won a singles match and teamed with freshman Jacob Grewe for a double win to lead the Redskins.
No. 1 — Sam Rice (W) def. Hudson Kay 6-2, 6-4.
No. 2 — Will Petro (W) def. Austin Stutzman 6-1, 3-6, 6-3.
No. 3 — Evan Miller (W) def. Luke Rush 6-0, 6-1.
No. 1 — Kyle Wettschurach-Nic Jensen (W) def. Derick Hostetler-Peter Vukovich 6-0, 6-4.
No. 2 — Caleb Ray-Nikos Schlitt (W) def. Zach Ganger-Logan Troyer 4-6, 7-6, 6-1.
Record: Goshen (9-2, 0-1 NLC) at Northridge Thursday.
JV: Warsaw won 10-5. (Goshen winners: Corbin Harrison, Jacob Grewe, Drew Weddle-Evan Beck, Harrison-Grewe).

President Barack Obama wants a new government rating system for colleges that would distribute federal financial aid based on a school's affordability and performance.
"It's time to stop subsidizing schools that are not producing good results and reward schools that deliver American students of our future," Obama said Wednesday, speaking from the University of Buffalo.
The new college rating system, which the president would like to see implemented by the 2015 academic year, would evaluate colleges on the following criteria:
- Average tuition
- Average student loan debt
- Graduation rates
- Average earnings of graduates
President Obama is pushing for Congress to act on a bill that would link the college rating system to federal financial aid, giving larger grants and more affordable to students at highly-rated.
The Obama administration would also like to put an end to lump sum disbursements of student loans, instead requiring colleges to give the money to students as they face expenses throughout the semester. The goal of this change is to prevent the wasting of grant money to students who drop out.
Americans now owe more in tuition debt than credit card debt, and the Project on Student Debt estimates the average debt for students graduating from Minnesota universities is $29,793, the third-highest in the nation. Minnesota's proportion of students with debt is at 71 percent, ranked fifth in the nation.

The Register-News
---- — MT. VERNON — An undetermined amount of cash and jewelry was taken in a Wednesday night armed robbery at a local residence.
A man reported at 9:50 p.m. that two subjects robbed him at gunpoint in the 2600 block of Cherry Street.
The two subjects were wearing masks, according to the victim.
One of the subjects was wearing a blue/gray striped hooded sweatshirt with dark pants. A clothing description of the second robber was not provided by the victim.
The robbers left the residence out the front door, presumably on foot, police logs state.
Chief of Police Chris Mendenall said the victim reported the masked men ordered the victim to get the money and jewelry from a safe, although the chief would not speculate on whether the robbers knew that a safe was inside the residence.
Mt. Vernon Police Department detectives are investigating the incident.

SUMTER, S.C. (AP/WIS) - A Sumter man has died after he ran into a burning home to save a family member and two neighbors.
Carolyn Johnson says her husband George "Andy" Johnson told her he had to save her 95-year-old aunt when he ran into the burning home next door around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The Sumter County Sheriff's Office says deputies found the home engulfed in flames. They found Wessie Johnson hanging from a rear window and two other residents who had escaped through a front window.
"When I went there, she
told me she said... get me out here before I burn up," said neighbor Willer Wright. "And I
tried, but I couldn't do nothing because I was so nervous."
Deputies found George Johnson on the floor and said that he apparently had lifted the elderly woman to the window. He was taken to the local hospital, where he died of smoke inhalation.
"I think he done a
wonderful job," said Jimmy Wright, the rescued woman's nephew. "Yep. He saved
three people. He's a hero. He'll always be a hero. And right now he's up in
heaven getting his reward."
Fire investigators have not determined an
official cause.

PHOENIX (AP) - People can dispose of expired or unwanted prescription drugs in their homes at dozens of sites across Arizona on Saturday.
The goal of the no-questions-asked disposal effort is to prevent drug abuse.
The drugs will be collected between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at law enforcement offices, pharmacies and other sites.
Doug Coleman, special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Agency in Arizona, says more than 35,000 pounds of pharmaceutical drugs were disposed of at such events over the past two years.

Gabe Jaffe describes himself quite on the point: I get bored easily. Due to this, Jaffe has done everything possible to keep his life interesting enough, according to his needs. Like changing homes, for instance. Having moved around from one city to the next, this including popular places like New York and Boston, and perhaps less advertised areas like Philly or Virginia, this man is all about figuring out the music scene fairly quickly in order to move onto the next. This is why Jaffe has been able to experience some of the greatest musical movements in the last 10 years. While he was still living in the Big Apple, we were able to cross paths with this vagabond.
From weird Ukrainian "clubs" or rad rave experiences in old banks in North Philly to the constantly evolving NYC music scene with its own flavors and sub-cultures, he has seen/heard/ danced it all. Now this man resides in Amsterdam and has a show called Bankrupt on Red Light Radio. During all this, he managed to put together a mixtape for us: #27!

Arroyo takes another crack at Rusch
Chicago (23-35) at Cincinnati (35-24), 7:10 p.m. ET
Winners of seven straight games and now co-leaders of the National League Central, the Reds open a 10-game homestand Thursday with the first of four games against the Cubs.Chicago lefty Glendon Rusch's biggest concern may not be that he's opposing Bronson Arroyo the pitcher, but that he'll have to deal with Arroyo the hitter. This will be the third time this season Arroyo and Rusch have started against each other. Arroyo has hit homers off Rusch the first two times (April 5 and April 11) on his way to wins. Cincinnati is coming off a successful 7-2 road trip, but it was a journey that started 0-2 before taking one game at Wrigley Field last week. Pitching matchup
CIN: RHP Bronson Arroyo (7-2, 2.40 ERA)
The Reds average 6.08 runs per game when Arroyo pitches.
CHC: LHP Glendon Rusch (2-5, 6.86 ERA)
The lefty is back in the rotation after working from the bullpen in May. He allowed three runs on four hits over five innings against St. Louis on Saturday.
Player to watch
Arroyo, but at the plate. Besides having two long balls this season against Rusch, he ended an 0-for-27 skid Saturday by going 3-for-4 with a career-best four RBIs.

Myth and Meaning in Harry PotterOpinion
August 03, 2003, 02:52 PM
Psychology professor Don Morgenson is the latest to try to understand the draw of Harry, in an article that compares the series to Lord of the Rings:
Frodo's Middle-earth, much like our own world, is not filled with unalloyed joy. It is, however, a world with meaning, even if that meaning may appear cruel and involves great evil. But it is also a world in which ordinary individuals, as young as Harry Potter or as small as Frodo, can alter the future of human events, as well as alter the current context of these events. We need that consoling knowledge.

The Buccaneers' receiving corps looked like one of the team's greatest weaknesses heading into the draft, but GM Mark Dominik told PFW he feels much better about it after drafting WRs Arrelious Benn and Mike Williams. "(The) media (in Tampa) publicly was very concerned about (the receiving corps)," Domink said. "I said 'Let's just look at this team once we go to training camp. I think then you can judge the receiving corps.' I think (Benn) was one of the best run-after-the-catch receivers in the draft in terms of yards after contact. ... (Syracuse head coach) Doug Marrone even told me, 'You guys are doing more work than anybody on Mike Williams.' The kid is just so talented I thought he was worth the extra time. I was very excited to get those weapons for (QB) Josh (Freeman)." Dominik told reporters the Bucs don't plan to add any more receivers in free agency.

San Tan Brewing Company plans to expand
San Tan Brewing Company has found the spot for their new 35,000-square-foot distribution facility.
The new warehouse and production center will be located at 495 E. Warner Road in Chandler.
According to HDE Agency for the past three years San Tan Brewing Company has had 100 percent growth in the local Arizona market, which has gotten them a reputation as Arizona leader in award-winning handcrafted beer.
"It is important for us to grow but also to keep our brewing and distribution in the city of Chandler, we've been looking for the perfect location for more than two years. I'm thrilled to announce we've found it," said owner and head brewer, Anthony Canecchia.
After the $4 million addition to the current location, San Tan Brewing Company plans to invest $6 million more into the new location.
Along with the new facility will come about 25 new jobs just in the first year.

Love the size of ship with less than 700 passengers. Love that fact that you don't have the continuous overhead announcements and picture taking. Very personalized service both in the cabins, dining room and through out.
Due to the capacity, getting off and back on the ship was easy. This particular cruise was very busy as only 1 or 2 days at sea and the rest in various ports. I took the opportunity to fly to Moscow for the day from St. Petersburg which was very worthwhile.
All the tours were very well organized and interesting. Yes, maybe a little more pricey but it was a vacation -- someone else took care of everything!
The food was quite good and varied in the dining room and extraordinary in the specialty restaurants. Just sorry that access is limited by level of accommodations.
I enjoyed this ship so much, will be going on it a 3rd time in February to Australia/New Zealand!

Thousands took part in the search for Scotty Meyer after the 5-year-old wandered half a mile away from his home, and his family held a press conference on Sunday to thank everyone who helped find him.
Barbara Meyer, the boy's mother, says she now considers those who found her son part of her family -- and the boy was reunited with his rescuers, Jason Moser and his dog, Autumn, on Sunday as well.
To say that Barbara Meyer is holding onto her son a little tighter these days is a major understatement, but the boy seems to have recovered well.
"He's running around at home, playing with his iPad, watching videos," Barbara Meyer said. "He really is back on track."
Yet, the boy's mother said she can't claim the same for herself.
"I'm still not back to normal," she admitted. "I still don't have the full range of my emotions."
Nearly a week has passed since the non-verbal boy with autism snuck away while a repairman was going in and out of the Oak Grove home to fix an air conditioner.
"One of the times the door opened and closed, our son, Lane, was the culprit with Scott following behind," Barbara Meyer explained. "The repairman did not allow the boys to get out of the house. He is not at fault in any way for our children getting outside."
Scotty spent the next 21 hours lost and alone, but the Meyers -- who share a strong faith -- say they never gave up.
"When he was out there, he was surrounded by angels," said Barbara Meyer. "When he went to sleep and every time he was bit by a bug, an angel kissed it and took the pain away because he should be ripping his skin off with the amount of bug bites he has."
On the morning of the fourth of July, Scotty was found in the woods a half mile away from his home by Moser and his Golden Retriever, Autumn.
"I've never met someone that I just met that I love so deeply, and I believe that God has destined for our lives to intertwine and there's a reason for that," said Barbara Meyer, adding that she's excited to find what that reason is.
Moser said he had hoped the two families could meet.
"Lots of hugs and excitement," he recalled. "I thought it was perfect."
The Meyer family said they cannot thank all those who helped in the search enough, and said she is thankful that all the prayers others made for the safe return for her son were answered. The family added that they are private people who now just hope to return to their lives and enjoy the rest of the summer.

Should the day after the Super Bowl be a recognized holiday in the United States?
A group of sports fans and concerned citizens seems to think so, and has gone as far as to file a petition with WhiteHouse.gov petitions, according to a recent post on AOL Jobs.
The petition argues that about 111 million Americans watched the Super Bowl in 2012, thus making it the most-viewed broadcast in history, according to the post.
As such, the group involved - Fantasy Football site 4for4.com - claims that if the Monday after the game were deemed a national holiday, the streets would be safer and the workplace would be more productive on the following Tuesday.
"We at 4for4.com Fantasy Football petition the Obama Administration to consider declaring the Monday following Super Bowl Sunday a national holiday," the petition states. "By doing so, the Obama Administration can promote camaraderie among the American people, keep the streets safer for our children on Sunday night and Monday morning, promote a productive workplace when work resumes on Tuesday, and honor the most popular event in modern American culture."
As of Monday, Feb. 4, the petition raked in 14,922 signatures, but still needs to receive about 85,000 more to get an official response from the federal government.
Meanwhile, AOL Jobs reported that close to 4.4 million Americans arrive late to work the day after the big game, and 9 percent of workers use the day as a vacation day, while about 3 percent call in sick.
