The eastern Wake native said she is interested in storms, along with hearing tales of survival every year at Relay for Life.
Q: You are the co-chair for the East Wake Relay for Life. What led you to become involved with Relay, the annual fund-raising event for the American Cancer Society?
A: My cousin, Bobbi Jane Duke, was involved. We have had quite a few family members, including in my husband's family, who we have lost to cancer or who battled cancer. I lost my dad in 2007. He died of lung cancer and I think that is when it made a big impact on me. My first Relay was in 2008 and I have been involved ever since.
Q: Was your dad a smoker?
A: He did smoke off and on. He would also chew tobacco and he would smoke cigars. I was also a smoker and I quit six years ago. I would watch him struggle to take a breath and I would think, 'What am I doing to myself?' When he died, I wanted to get involved to help find a cure. Cancer does not pick and choose. It can affect anyone. We have lost a lot of good people to that awful disease.
Q: What brings you back year after year?
A: I like to be involved – to see the people. And I like a challenge. It is a challenge to raise more money than the year before. We do have good support in eastern Wake for Relay but I would like to see more businesses get involved. We have a Relay float and when we ride on the float in the annual Christmas parades, we have a lot of people really cheer and clap when they see us. We do well for being in a small area — we raised $113,000 last year — but we can do much better if more businesses would get on board.
Q: Tell us a little about your personal life.
A: I have been married 33 years to David Gay. We have two children: Joshua, who is 30 and a physician's assistant in Washington D.C. and our daughter, Kristen, who lives in Sylva ... and is pregnant with our first grandchild. I worked for 32 years with Progress Energy. After the merger, I retired. For about one year, I stayed at home and I spent some time at our place at the beach, but I was ready to come back to work. I am now the office manager at State Pest Control.
Q: You have been married 33 years. What advice would you give couples on the success of having a lasting marriage?
A: Well, you definitely cannot be selfish. Marriage is give and take. And you need a lot of patience.
Q: When you are not gearing up and preparing for Relay, what takes up your time?
A: I work at the library at my church. I like to go to the beach and also go to the mountains and visit my daughter. I like to read and scrapbook.
Q: It is nice to get out of town every so often. Any trip stands out above the others?
A: After my son graduated from Duke, he did his residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. It was interesting to hear the doctors mention what a good job he had done. And having someone in the family that is knowledgeable about medical matters is good. My niece was in a bad wreck and will be coming home on Valentine's Day after spending 43 days in the hospital. My son was able to explain what was going on with her injuries.
Q: What would those who know you be interested to find out about you?
A: I am interested in storms.
Q: Are you a storm chaser?
A: As long as I know I will not get hurt, it is interesting to know what happens during a storm.
Q: What are you looking forward to in this year's Relay at Five County Stadium May 30-31?
A: I like to hear survivors tell their stories and how many years they have been cancer-free. That is always inspiring to me. I think it just pushes us to stay involved.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A boy clinging to a log in Minneapolis creek and headed for the dangerous Mississippi River has been pulled to safety.
Authorities say the 12-year-old boy was trying to retrieve his football from Minnehaha Creek Thursday afternoon when he fell in. The boy was able to grab a log as he was being swept down the creek toward the Mississippi.
Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board spokeswoman Dawn Sommers tells the Star Tribune a park patrol officer walked out on the log which was extended over the creek and a paramedic went into the water to bring the boy to safety.

An elderly woman was killed and her husband was taken to a local hospital following a two-car, head-on accident at Swenson and Woolard roads in southern Stevens County on Tuesday night.
According to the Stevens County Sheriff's Office, 17-year-old Justin Price tried to avoid hitting a disabled vehicle on the side of Swenson Road at around 7:30 p.m. and crossed into oncoming traffic, hitting the couple's vehicle.
Gary L. Flyckt, 73, who was driving the car, was transported to Sacred Heart Medical Center with unknown injuries. His wife, Jonia Flyckt, 72, suffered serious injuries and died at the scene.
Price was released to his parents. Charges are pending against Price, according to a KREM-TV report.
Emergency crews from Stevens County Fire District No. 1 said the way that the road is built with its steep shoulders makes it hard for a disabled vehicle not to take a portion of the main roadway.

The colors and the expansive views from the hilltops in San Bruno are always inspiring. Sometimes the colors are softly muted and other times they appear saturated, filled with intense hues. This painting of the westward view from has a combination of both.
Selecting what to paint in these expansive views is always a challenge. I usually select a color or subject with shapes that are interesting. This time I decided to paint EVERYTHING in my view on a very large canvas, sized 30 by 40 inches.
After priming my canvas with a warm rusty-yellow color, I was ready to sketch the view. The big shapes of the ocean and distant hills filled the top fourth of the canvas. The rest seemed like a mass of greens with no distinguishing shapes.
I mumbled to myself about this being my biggest challenge in a painting, but one I was determined to work through.
Because of the overwhelming size I chose a larger brush and quickly colored in the big shapes, then connected them all with the pine tree in the foreground. Standing back I was pleased that I covered the canvas so quickly, but the result was a confused mess of colors.
When I paint the colors I perceive, they do not always work together to communicate the accuracy of the scene. How to paint the expanse of miles on a flat surface requires adjusting the values and the color hues to make distant objects appear further away. Using lighter values of colors is one way. The other is to use cooler color tones.
The most distant hills of Pedro Point appeared greenish blue, but adding tones of light blues and purples over the top made them appear far away. Once that was accomplished I adjusted the colors of the Rockaway hills and Mori Point.
Between those landmarks was a valley of eucalyptus, pine and cypress up the hill to the shrubs and grasses where I stood. The mid-morning light over my left shoulder cast a dark shadow on one hill and shape shadows on clumps of trees painted with vertical brushstrokes. No details were necessary for those trees.
The grasses, some dry and crisp, others tinged with new green and buds of flowers blew gently into the shrubs with spring blooms. The warm and subtle colors were welcoming. I took a short walk, breathing the fresh air. Ravens caught the wind in their wings and soared overhead, then over the valley of trees. Their distinctive call lifted my eyes to their dance in the sky and my longing to fly with them.
"Crunch," was the sound underfoot as I stepped on a dry branch. I circled through the grasses and shrubs back to my painting and playfully added brushstrokes of colors into the foreground. A few darker colors went into the pine, followed by my signature.
The completed painting is now on display at the Oceana Art Gallery in Eureka Square in Pacifica.

Chief financial officer Michael Dastugue was fortunate enough to keep his job in the c-suite, but now he's gone too.
Dastugue's departure seems abrupt. He was only given a 48-hour notice, and JCPenney evidently didn't find a replacement beforehand — COO Mike Kramer is assuming the role of interim CFO until someone is found.
But it has been obvious from the get-go that Johnson wants nothing but his own handpicked crew to lead JCPenney.
Apparently, Dastugue didn't fit the bill.

Probably the last thing Craig Newmark ever imagined was that the little email list he started back in 1995 would one day be at the center of a controversy over prostitution, the First Amendment, and the future of the InterWebs. But 15 years later, Craigslist is in the thick of a dispute over whether its ad service is aiding and abetting prostitution, or merely an exercise in free speech.
The battle with Craigslist over its ads has been brewing for some time, thanks in part to highly publicized stories about the "Craigslist killer," Philip Markoff, who murdered three women one woman and robbed two others who were advertising massage services on the online classifieds site. (Though one has to wonder, if Markoff had found identical ads in a newspaper would anyone have thought to call him, say, the "Boston Globe Killer"?)
[ Get the spin on key tech news that you'll find nowhere else at InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. | For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter. ]
Things really kicked into gear last year, when South Carolina state attorney general Henry McMaster made a stink, demanding Craigslist shut down its adult ads in his state. That resulted in an even stinkier response from Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster, which included a temporary restraining order against AG McMaster. They then proceeded to Indian leg wrestle over who owned the rights to the suffix "Master."
In May 2009, Craigslist compromised by kicking its Erotic Services category to the curb and creating a cleaner, more wholesome Adult Services category in its place. Craigslist also promised to monitor the ads more closely and to charge $10 per ad to keep out the riff raff and spammers.
Fast-forward to August 2010, when 17 state attorneys general collaborated on an open letter to Craiglist [PDF], asking it to drop its adult ads. The letter is a bit scant on proof of actual wrongdoing but makes up for it with extra helpings of dramatic rhetoric:

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
We are barely even a moment into the high school basketball season and the 13th Region is getting very interesting.
One of the preseason favorites, Jackson County, fell in its opening game against Corbin. The Redhounds were supposed to be a work in progress this season, but might be ahead of schedule. Eighth grader Andrew Taylor scored 19 points and hit the game-winner for the Redhounds.
On the same night you had Whitley County traveling to Log Mountain and knocking off Bell County, another 13th Region contender.
It's not common for these kinds of matchups to happen so early in the season. We have many more in the near future. Although a December loss has little bearing on the season, the early returns show an interesting year.
Clay County has yet to play as this is being written. The preseason favorite Tigers will meet South Laurel, North Laurel, Corbin, and Harlan County before Christmas break so we should at least get a feel for them soon.
When South Laurel travels to Clay County it will be the Cardinals second straight game against a defending region champion. Wayne County edged South Laurel 68-64 in the season opener, but it was still a strong showing in a tough road game.
North Laurel lost to a good Harlan team in its opener, but should have a few games in the win column when they travel to Clay County next week. It's hard to put much stock in the Harlan game when fouls dictated much of the game. The meat of the Jaguars schedule comes in the final weeks when they will face Bell County, South Laurel, Clay County, East Jessamine, Pulaski County, and Knox Central in that order.
It is shaping up to be a battle royal and we haven't even mentioned quality teams like Knox Central and Williamsburg that will have a say in how things play out.
There might be a team that rolls through the schedule without many blemishes. That's not what I see this season. There is more depth in the 13th Region and the team that wins it could be whoever gets hot.

The doctor who helped treat a 6-year-old Illinois boy who was buried in sand for hours at a northern Indiana dune says the child is expected to make a full neurological recovery.
Nathan Woessner is sedated and on a ventilator, but is responsive and can move his limbs.
Dr. Tracy Koogler, medical director of pediatric intensive care at the University of Chicago Medical Center, said Monday he may suffer some lasting lung problems from breathing in sand.
His family held a news conference to thank rescuers, doctors and the public on Monday. His family is convinced his expected recovery is a miracle.
Woessner was walking up Mt. Baldy in the Indiana Dunes Friday when he stepped into what was described as a sinkhole. Witnesses said he disappeared under more than 11 feet of sand.
His father and a friend frantically tried to dig him out with their hands. They said they could hear him calling, but Nathan was sinking farther down than they could reach.
He remained under the sand for four hours. Rescuers brought in two backhoes to dig him out.
The boy has been in critical condition since the Friday rescue.
His grandfather, church pastor Don Ruel, says he's certain that God intervened.
Koogler says Nathan should be removed from the ventilator by the end of the week. She also said he'll likely be released from the hospital into rehab in 10-14 days.
They expect he'll be back to playing and riding bikes like any other little boy in no time.

Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff, issued a public message Thursday to all soldiers in which he said the "bedrock of trust" between soldiers and their leaders has been violated by a recent string of misconduct cases.
He said the Army demonstrated competence and courage through nearly 12 years of war. "Today, however, the Army is failing in its efforts to combat sexual assault and sexual harassment," he wrote.
"It is time we take on the fight against sexual assault and sexual harassment as our primary mission," he said.
There are thousands of unnamed military sexual assaults victims and only 13 percent of the cases are ever actually reported. At the Truth and Justice Summit in Washington, D.C. last month, hundreds of those survivors gathered to take action.
"They can't hide from this anymore," said Anu Bhagwati, a former Marine captain and executive director of the Service Women's Action Network. "There is not a quick fix … The military can't train its way out of this problem."
Currently, both male and female lawmakers are working to remove the decision making power on sexual assault cases from commanding officers.
"I don't know how you can say that having 19,000 sexual assaults is discipline and order," said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.). "'What we need to do is change the system so victims know that they can receive justice."
WNCN caught up with two sexual assault survivors at the Truth and Justice Summit. These are their stories.
Bobbie Jo Weisgerber, Navy
"If there was going to be anybody I was going to trust, it was going to be a Marine," said Bobbie Jo Weisgerber, a U.S. Navy veteran.
Weisgerber says she joined the Navy in 1989 shortly after graduating, and her first duty station was in California.
"It kind of went south from there," she said.
On her day off, Weisgerber says she wanted to go to a carnival, so she went with a "nice guy" recommended by a mutual friend.
"We were driving along, and the site where the carnival was supposed to be -- we drove past that," she recalled. "He kept driving and I started to get a little worried, and I started asking questions."
Weisgerber said the man, who was a Marine not stationed on her ship, drove her to "a very remote location and proceeded to assault me."
"He had every intention of raping me, but because I angered him so much and I guess flustered him where he just wouldn't continue," she said.
Weisgerber reported him, which resulted in him being dishonorably discharged from the military, fined and demoted in rank.
"It kind of gave me a new hope that, 'OK, they're going to take care of me if something happens … it's all good,'" she said.
But then it happened again. She said she was stationed in Concord, Calif., in the early 90s when life in the Navy went from bad to worse.
"There was another gentleman on board the ship that more or less took over my life," Weisgerber said.
"He raped and sodomized me on a normal basis," she explained.
On her birthday in the summer of 1991, she said she wanted to celebrate alone because of the repeated abuse. So she rented out a hotel room, but says her attacker followed her with his friends.
"They bought me a birthday drink. I started blacking in and out," she recalled. "I woke up naked in a hotel room, and there I can't even count how many people were in that room. People were watching -- nobody was getting up to help.
"There were at a time over 70 men in my room [who] I worked with on a daily basis. People would be taking turns. One gentleman actually came up twice. And the only reason I remember that was because of his eyes.
"He came up twice and raped me twice and apologized and said, 'I'm sorry, I just can't help myself.'"
Weisgerber reported the incident and says eventually most of the suspects were court-martialed. But she says the entire proceedings were a mess because of the lack of evidence.
"No rape kit was ever done on me … because what I found, what they call somebody who is a multiple assault victim is that it's more like soup. There is such a mixed up gene pool going on with everybody that you can't pin down one person specifically," she said.
Weisgerber says she was then honorably discharged, with a diagnosis of a borderline personality disorder.
Patricia Gregory, Army National Guard
"My attacker was part of the full time staff," said Patricia Gregory, an Army National Guard veteran. "He came across as very fatherly -- comforting."
Gregory is also a survivor of sexual assault. She says the attack occurred while she was in the ROTC in the late 80s, but she did not report the incident nearly 20 years later.
"I did not file a report until 2008. For a long time I denied that it happened," she said.
Gregory says she was attending ROTC Advanced Camp at Fort Bragg and explains, "I was not physically prepared for it."
In July 1989, she was hanging out with friends when her attacker offered her a ride. "Fort Bragg in July is miserable, and he had air conditioning in his car."
Shortly afterwards, she says she got in his car.
"The next thing I know, his hand is going up my shorts," she recalled. "He pushed me back and he raped me. He pinned me down -- and it was a benched seat -- he knew I was struggling.
He knew I was in a compromised situation because if I had said, 'Hey, I've been raped,' they would say, 'Oh you're just trying to get out of this.'"
Both Gregory and Weisgerber say change needs to begin with the military code of law that currently allows commanding officers to make most of the decisions.
In the last few weeks the Department of Defense unveiled a new sexual assault prevention strategy that will strengthen programs for prevention, investigation, accountability and advocacy. But many survivors say that's not enough.
"They got rid of the problem: me," Weisgerber said.
Pentagon press secretary George Little says Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is considering changes to the Uniform Code of Military Justice that would prevent commanders from reversing sexual assault convictions, along with other efforts to improve training, assist victims and strengthen discipline.
Hagel has also ordered the retraining, recertifying and rescreening of all sexual assault prevention and response personnel as well as military recruiters, who also have been accused in recent sexual misconduct cases.
"He is going to spare no effort to address the problem," Little said, adding that additional training is "foundational" to any credible effort against sexual assault.
Eileen joined WNCN after years of working as a foreign correspondent. During her time off, she enjoys relaxing with her dogs, reading, and exploring the Triangle. More>>

Danville announces technology push for iGATE, small businesses

How much will this cost? Why is Danville betting taxpayer money on this idea?
If businesses want to teleconference, why not just use Skype for free?

Dear Editor,
There are positives to this action by Danville Government. It illustrated a willingness to look beyond heritage and tradition to invite technology companies to locate in Danville's business district. This communication center will allow Danville's government to be more engaged in global commerce and reverse recent loss of funding that would have brought small footprint technology labs to Danville.
In humor, tradition is the excuse we make for the silly things we do repeatedly. Now, Danville can laugh and move on to participating in our global economy and technology.

Sounds like a fine idea as long as government does not get involved. Haven't we learned anything from the economic mess this country is in? Let private investors do it. If it is needed and can be financially sustainable, the private sector would do a much better job. In fact, if it is so needed, the private sector would already have done it. Stay out of business with tax payer dollars. Keeping taxes low would draw more people to the area than another government run business. BTW, what happened to Danville using taxpayer dollars to buy commercial real estate downtown and competing with the commercial real estate property owners.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — MARSHFIELD — Although it was a fine all-around effort by the North Andover wrestling team yesterday at the Marshfield Tournament, it was hard not to single out the performance of sophomore 152-pounder Fritz Hoehn.
Hoehn pinned his way through the tournament and, in the finals put Eric Travers of Cumberland, R.I., on his back. Travers was sixth in New England last year and his decisive defeat helped earn Hoehn the Outstanding Wrestler award, highlighting the Knights' third straight tournament crown at Marshfield,
North Andover finished the 34-team tourney with 256 points, far ahead of runner-up Plymouth South (217).
Joining Hoehn on the top of the podium was Zane Melillo at 132 pounds, Stephen Cincotta at 170 and Ryan Neals at 182. Cincotta, who was unseeded, was a 6-1 victor in the finals and was impressive throughout while Neals remained undefeated on the year.
Finishing second was 160-pounder Brad Drover. He lost a 3-1 decision to defending 170-pound champion and New England runner-up Will Henson of Barnstable.
Nick Villalba had a strong tournament to place third at 126 and the Knights had 10 placers overall.
Rangers in second
With seven semifinalists and two other wrestlers still alive, Methuen stands in second place after the first day of the Framingham Tournament. Lincoln-Sudbury is in first with 132 1/2 points with Methuen in striking distance at 124.
Of the semifinalists, the surprises are at 120 with Tim Michelini and 160 with A.J. Bolduc.
The semifinals are scheduled for this morning with the finals slated for later in the afternoon.

Arthritis and Chronic Illness: Stripping Away Labels and Stigma – by Ashley Boynes-Shuck

In the most anticipated fight on the card from WSOF 2, Anthony Johnson met former UFC champion Andrei Arlovski in a heavyweight tilt for the ages. Fight fans were looking to see how Johnson would do at a larger weight, while wondering what this new version of Andrei Arlovski a la Greg Jackson was capable of.
The fight almost came to a close at the end of the first round, as Johnson had knocked Arlovski down and pounded away at him in the corner that I was shooting from. The ten-second warning went off, and it seemed that Johnson was seconds away from winning. Moments later, the ref waved them off and Johnson began celebrating with Arlovski looking dazed and confused. As it turned out, it was actually the end of the round and Arlovski managed to make it out, despite no one hearing the sound of the ring bell to signal the closing of the first.
The second and third rounds were just as exciting as the first, with Arlovski pushing past a broken jaw and Johnson getting used to carrying around his extra weight. While recovering from an accidental shot to the groin, Johnson's corner demanded he get up immediately, since Arlovski was regaining his breath and they wanted to keep him tired. A clever strategy, had Johnson also not been totally winded.
Each time an exhausted "Rumble" shot for Arlovski's legs to stop brawling, Johnson's corner would begin screaming and yelling at him for doing that. It seemed that strategy was not to wrestle with Arlovski since they recognized his superior strength, so the goal was to hit and move and land big shots. While the fight may not have gone the exact way they planned, Johnson was awarded the decision victory in a great three-round war. Despite the loss, I was impressed by the smart way Arlovski fought, overcoming his serious injury to push on and pressure Johnson in a very close fight. Johnson still has some growing pains in this new weight, so we will see if he sticks around or tries his luck at a different size.

The stock market's mighty are falling, and some investors blame year-end tax maneuvering, not fundamentals. Whether or not that thesis is right, there are opportunities for bargain hunters.
The top tax rate on long-term capital gains, currently 15%, is slated to rise to 20%, barring action in Congress, where negotiations have gone from fluid to flaccid. No matter where the capital-gains rate ends up, investors with more than $200,000 in adjusted-gross income will also have a 3.8% Obamacare surcharge assessed on gains. Long-term shareholders are little affected: The best tax-avoidance scheme, after all, is to never sell. But anyone thinking about taking gains on big winners may pocket more cash by selling before New Year's.

Apple's shares gained 260% over the three years through the third quarter of this year, but have lost 23% so far during the fourth quarter. If Cramer is right, the selling should let up next year.
Apple (ticker: AAPL) may indeed be a good deal, but there's limited evidence to support the tax-selling theory.
The traditional January Effect has held that stocks that stink in a given year tend to outperform during the first few weeks of January. Investors dump these stocks in December to generate tax losses, the thinking goes, so prices rebound in the new year. If there's a January Effect, this year should produce its reverse, where investors hasten to sell winners and postpone selling losers.
Recent performance figures seem to support a reverse January Effect in the making. Among companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index, the top 10% by price performance over the three years through September have since lost 3%, on average. The bottom 10% have gained 3%. But that may be a simple case of returns reverting to the mean; highfliers don't rise forever.
As for Apple, it's difficult to disentangle tax-selling effects from basic investor angst. For example, when Citigroup analyst Glen Yeung cut his recommendation on Apple to Neutral from Buy earlier this month, he cited supply-chain order cuts related to the iPhone 5 and cannibalization of iPad tablet sales by the less lucrative iPad mini. Also, Apple investors had hoped that China Mobile, that country's largest wireless carrier, would begin offering the iPhone 5 to its 700 million subscribers, but talks have fizzled and China Mobile earlier this month announced a smartphone deal with Nokia instead.
Stock pickers who wish to bet on a reverse January Effect should do so only with stocks that are now priced to outperform even if the effect is hogwash. Apple makes the cut and then some. It sells for 11 times this year's earnings projections, versus 14 times for the S&P 500.

Perhaps there's tax selling involved, but shareholders were also likely spooked by an October recommendation by hedge-fund manager David Einhorn to short, or bet against, the stock.

The company provides audio chips that power music and voice functions in iPhones and other devices, and collects three-quarters of its revenue from Apple. Its shares trade at just six times projected earnings for the next four quarters -- despite multiplying four times in price since the start of 2010. CapStone Investments analyst Rafi Hassan calls the relationship between Cirrus and Apple "sticky" because Cirrus invests plenty in product development and Apple is finicky about design. As voice control becomes more common in handheld gadgets and cars, Cirrus should expand its non-Apple sales and attract a higher price/earnings ratio for its stock. For now, it will ride Apple's success -- including, perhaps, any near-term turnaround in Apple's stock.

Jason Pierre-Paul to the Giants should shock no one.
In fact, I am willing to say that Pierre-Paul might have been the pick even if Rolando McClain had been on the board. Seriously.
I'll never forget what Ernie Accorsi told me the day after the 2006 draft when the Giants drafted Mathias Kiwanuka in Round One despite having a wealth at defensive end. In essence, he said you can never pass on pure pass rushers. They are just too rare.
That's what George Young taught Accorsi, and it's what Accorsi taught Jerry Reese.
And look at Reese's first three drafts prior to the Pierre-Paul pick. "Upside" is the key word, with "risk" right behind it. Hakeem Nicks, Kenny Phillips, Mario Manningham, Clint Sintim, Ramses Barden, William Beatty — a lot of these picks were considered projections or high-risk, high-reward choices. Reese is a dice roller; he has taken more risks with each draft, and he did it again Thursday night.
Now, don't go writing Osi Umenyiora off so fast. The Giants still could use him as the base end, move him inside on third downs and bring in Pierre-Paul to heat up the edges on third downs. But there still could be a trade involving Umenyiora, of course.
What I am trying to say is that Pierre-Paul is not going to be a three-down end who sets the edge against the run and stands up big offensive tackles. And he might have some trouble, scouts say, to grasp a complex scheme. We'll see if Perry Fewell can keep it simple for him.
Fewell's likely message to Pierre-Paul as a rookie: Rush the passer, young man. That's probably all he'll do in Year One. And as long as he does it well, this could be a decent pick one day.

RALEIGH — The Berkeley Cafe, the venerable downtown club and restaurant on West Martin Street, is losing the big music room where it hosts many of its shows.
That space, which can hold up to 200 people, will close June 30 and be converted to a retail store called Island Tobacco, according to landlord York Properties.
The Berkeley will be down to the smaller adjoining cafe space. It will continue to have live music, but on a smaller scale with a capacity closer to 100.
We hate downsizing, owner John Blomquist said Monday. Its not the end of an era, but it is the end of the big side, and well miss it. Its gonna be a transition.
Blomquist opened the Berkeley on the south side of Nash Square in 1980, expanding its live-music operation into the big hall in the early 1990s. The Berkeley has hosted everything from country singers to hip-hop and metal over the past two decades, including some of the local scenes biggest names Chatham County Line and Ryan Adams Whiskeytown among them.
Ive always liked the Berkeley, the funkiness of it, said Marianne Taylor, one of several outside promoters who booked concerts there.
For a number of years, the big music hall also included a storefront space on Martin Street, which housed a series of businesses including a coffee shop and convenience store. The last one, Tazs, moved out in late 2010. After the Berkeleys lease on the music hall space expired in November, York began shopping the property to potential tenants.
York told us they were exercising their out and it was pretty short, less than 30 days, said Jim Shires, managing partner who oversees the Berkeleys live music. We asked for another month to fulfill some obligations to bands and customers, and they agreed to give us until June 30. So there are no hard feelings. Weve always known this was a possibility.
The Berkeley Cafe will remain. Blomquists lease runs until 2023, and he promised hes not going anywhere.
A man needs a place to go, and I want to continue coming here, Blomquist said. I love my customers.

Office 365 -- Microsoft's subscription-based productivity software -- is slowly working its way into organizations around the world. Back in February 2012 about one in seven Microsoft enterprise customers were using some aspect of Office 365, according to the company.
This past February the figure was more like one in five. And the number of small and midsize business using Office 365 grew by 150 percent in the same period, Microsoft says. (The company hasn't revealed the actual numbers.)
[ Also on InfoWorld: How to make the move from Google Apps to Office 365. | Check out the InfoWorld review: Google Apps vs. Office 365 • Tested: The latest Office 365 enhancements. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
It certainly represents progress for the subscription model and linking the provision of software to users rather than machines. But it's hardly a glowing endorsement: 20 percent of enterprise customers is not a huge proportion, and 150 percent growth of a small user base still only produces a small user base.
But the pace of Office 365 adoption is likely to increase over the coming year, due to a product repositioning exercise which increases the scope of products that fall under the Office 365 brand. Thanks to the launch of the Office 365 ProPlus packages in February, some office productivity applications like Word and Excel installed as client software on desktops and laptops will also be counted as Office 365 installations.
Office365 ProPlus offers full desktop versions of the standard office apps, with the major difference over products like Office 2010 and Office 2013 in that these Office365 ProPlus apps are updated regularly via the Internet. However, there are other differences: Office 365 ProPlus is a subscription-based offering, rather than Office 2013, which comes with a perpetual license for a single installation. And Office 365 ProPlus is linked to a user, who can install the Office applications on up to five devices.
But the key point is that rather than being a true cloud-based Office suite, Office 365 in its ProPlus incarnation is partly a client-based suite, with various cloud features such as frequent updating and storage also provided.
Why is Microsoft offering client-based software with cloud-based updates?
So what's the reason for Microsoft offering client-based Office software with regular cloud-based updates? Why is client software coming under the Office365 cloud brand?
One reason is that despite the benefits of cloud-based software, it is simply not as convenient or fully featured as the conventional Office suite, according to Julia White, senior director of Microsoft's Office Division. "Some customers hated the trade-off," she says.
With ProPlus, customers can get the best of both worlds, she suggests. "Because Office 365 ProPlus calls home (for updates) it is always evergreen. You open your Office app and there are new capabilities. Before, you got three years' worth of Office innovation every three years. Now you get innovation in small bites."
White also points out that Office 365 ProPlus client software and regular Office client software can run side by side on a single machine, ensuring that any compatibility issues can be overcome easily, and allowing organizations to move to the new cloud-updated model at their own pace.

As I watched Pac/JMM 4 during the pageantry...I just had this weird realization. As I heard the anthem for the Philippines....I just couldn't help but to think...nobody in fuckin' hell is ever gonna replace Manny Pacquiao.
As Donaire and Gesta's names scroll through my head...I just see tumbleweed bouncing. I see nothing past that. All I can remember is the night of May 2004 when I saw a relentless little Filipino monster who couldn't get tired to save his life, coupled with a then unknown Mexican fighter who wouldn't give it up.
Just watching Manny warm up and the crowd drooling over him, I just dont see another Filipino fighter replacing him, or being better than him (popularity wise) for a looooong time. Regardless of how I feel about his shitty team and his crazed fans...I just have to see this dude fight at least 3 more times before he hangs them up.
There's no telling when we'll ever hear that Philippines anthem again. Donaire is poo-poo and couldn't even buy fans if he wanted to, and Gesta is just...well, who is he?
What do you guys think?

Agreed. There won't be another Pacquiao for decades, perhaps.
Gesta is a scrub. I also hate to break it to Donaire fans, but here's the deal: he's good, but will never be as good as Pacquiao.
The depth of Pacquiao's popularity in the Philippines is mind-boggling. To think that all crime stops when he fights, because even the most hardcore of gangbangers are indoors, watching the fight, is unfathomable.
I'm glad we were able to witness him at his best.

Can an economics book be fun, sexy, and a good read? This alumna author definitely thinks so.
Marina Adshade, MA'00, PhD'04, remembers the final exams of the first term of her doctorate clearly. "Not only do I remember the building," she says, reaching back 14 years, "I remember the room."
On the second floor in Dunning Hall, Adshade nursed her three-week-old son Duncan while she wrote. Six months later she went back to classes. "The Economics Department was phenomenal," says Adshade. Allan Head and Bev Lapham, married professors in the Department, let her leave Duncan with their nanny.
At the time, Adshade knew that completing a PhD as a single parent was uncommon. During her graduate studies, she looked at US census data to discover how many women had both given birth and completed a PhD. Not surprisingly, none. That didn't deter her. She had already followed an unconventional path to academia, a story she tells, in part, as Jane in her recent and highly successful book, Dollars and Sex: How Economics Influences Sex and Love.
Like the fictional Jane, Adshade did not finish high school and at age 17 ran away from home. She worked as a chamber maid and lived in a seedy hotel in Vancouver, skirting numerous dangers, including being courted by a pimp. A year later, after returning to Ontario to seek refuge at her sister's, she married and had a daughter. When her repeatedly unemployed husband decided to return to school, Adshade announced she would too. She was 27. Her daughter was less than a year.
By 1997, when she started her MA at Queen's, Adshade was a single mother whose focus of study was women in the workplace, a topic that she says requires a discussion of sex and love. This theme has underscored all her work. When set with the task of increasing enrollment in economics courses at Dalhousie, Adshade suggested an undergraduate course called "The Economics of Sex and Love," a precursor to her book.
"Everything that happened to me at Queen's laid the ground work for my career," says Adshade, who now teaches in the School of Economics at the University of British Columbia. Her writing appear in The Globe and Mail, The Washington Post, The Sunday Times, and other well-known publications.
Her daughter is now 20. At 14, Duncan is barely able to acknowledge that she wrote a book. "Possibly because of the topic," she says. "The book is fun and racy but academically it is very rigorous and that comes from my training at Queen's." Adshade says the Economics Department is like family. "I hope that the department feels they can take some credit for the book because they can definitely can."

Being in the right place at the right time can make a huge difference. A Benton Harbor couple is in court Monday for child abuse charges after a witness helped kick start an investigation. The witness, Clare DeHann, says she did what she hopes anyone would do, picked up the phone and alerted police.
It was early August when DeHann stopped by Henry's Hamburgers in Benton Harbor to grab a bite. That's when she noticed a woman and two young children. "Very cute, they were dirty, they had no shoes on, they had dirty clothes on."
DeHann says she was heading to her vehicle when the woman approached her with a sexual proposition. When DeHann declined the woman had another question. "She goes 'Do you like children?'"
DeHann says she was disgusted by what she appeared to be offering and started yelling at the woman. That's when a van came around the corner and the three got in. "She scooped up the kids and threw them into the car and they were kicking and screaming and they drove away."
DeHann says she immediately called the police. "I was feeling very helpless."
Shortly after the incident at Henry's Hamburgers, the woman, Josephine Morrow and her boyfriend, Mathew Weidler were arrested and charged with child abuse. Police don't believe they were sincerely trying to sell the children, but DeHann's call was valuable.
"As a result, it lead us in the direction where we came in contact with the parent of the child and there were some issues, not necessarily what she initially thought," says Benton Charter Township Police Chief Vince Fetke.
He says DeHann's testimony isn't the basis of this case against Weidler and Morrow, but it did lead to an investigation and Morrow's children were turned over to Child Protective Services. Something DeHan was relieved to hear. "I was very happy, very happy."
And Chief Fetke says DeHann did exactly what he hopes the rest of the public would do. "Without the help of the citizens, many times we don't have the leads that assist us in solving crimes. "

Arianne Phillips Talks Dressing Hedwig and Her Angry Inch-------
Broadway is no stranger to men in drag (think Kinky Boots, Cabaret, and, soon, Casa Valentina). But it has certainly never seen anything quite like the rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The transgressive, transformative, transgender title character first stomped onto the underground scene in the late 1990s, the surly brainchild of John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask. Creating not only the singing, dancing, wisecracking East German ingenue, Mitchell played her in off-Broadway productions and in the cult-hit film of 2001. It was on the big screen that, along with her angry inch (so named, as she comically hisses in one song, for the proverbial chop she hastily underwent in an effort to flee East Berlin), the stubby star was born.
Ever plucky and resourceful, Hedwig has now made it to Broadway. Neil Patrick Harris dons the diva's duds, reimagined by costume designer Arianne Phillips, who originally crafted them for the film version. In addition to Hedwig's blond feathered mullet, the ultimate sight gag, her clothes—cobbled together from whatever she can salvage from her hardscrabble, socialist surroundings—are as unique, sympathetic, and fearless as she. Hedwig's wardrobe goes a long way in telling her story, in all its gritty and triumphant reality, as Phillips explains backstage at the Belasco Theatre.
You did the costumes for the film version of Hedwig, which catapulted her to global notoriety. Did you look at this Broadway restaging as an update or starting from scratch?
It's not starting from scratch because I know the material, but it's a totally different experience designing for the stage than it is for film. I know the material intimately, but it's been fourteen years since I designed the film. It's been a real gift to revisit the material with Neil, who brings his own genius and personality to the character. The amazing thing about Neil is that he has all these skills as an actor. He's studied circus techniques, he's studied magic. Rumor has it—and I haven't asked him—that he's the president of The Magic Castle.
I don't know that, but I do know he collects magic memorabilia.
The first time I met him, he said to me, "I love costumes. I love illusion. I love magic. So bring it on. Let's create magic." And I just was dumbfounded because the first thing actors usually say is, "Please don't give me too much to do!" So that was super-inspiring and exciting.
Besides Hedwig, you're well-known for working with Madonna, creating many of her signature looks over the years.
My experience with doing live theater really is working with Madonna and designing her last five tours. Live theater is very different from film because there are different needs for the costumes. Neil as Hedwig never leaves the stage, so if there's a costume change, we have to find a clever way to do it—quick changes and under-or-over-dressing. Basically it's a one-person show, whereas the film had many more characters.
Did Neil bring any of his own ideas to the costumes?
He certainly brought a lot of physical ideas, in terms of how we were going to make costume changes and how he was going to wear them. He's incredibly collaborative. He loves the process and he appreciates costumes. He understands them and how they're an integral part of the character. Neil's a physical actor. He's like a triple threat: He's a great actor, he can sing, and he can dance.
What about his drag?
The first thing was getting him in high heels, which takes a lot of bravery to wear. He has not once had an issue with it, and I didn't have to make the heels lower. Of course, we custom-made the heels for him. Plus, working on Madonna's tours, I have some experience dressing guys in high heels.
Did he buff up for the role? He looks more muscular than I've seen him.
Well, I don't think we've seen him with so few clothes on. Doing [Broadway] is like being an athlete, and he never leaves the stage. On some nights, he has two shows. Luckily for me, he has the most beautiful body to dress. He looks incredible. He can create the female illusion, and yet there's a masculinity as well. It's reminiscent for me of Tim Curry in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, where there's a feminine and masculine duality. I think Neil physically embodies that sexual ambiguity. It's provocative in its own way, and he moves beautifully.
Do any of the pieces draw from runway collections?
There are no designer clothes in this show, but I had inspiration. I spent this past year in London working on a film, and I went to see the Bowie exhibit at the V&A. I was really inspired by a lot of Kansai Yamamoto's costumes for David Bowie. The material in Hedwig's opening costume references Bowie, as well as Lou Reed and Iggy Pop—the "crypto-homo-rockers," like they say in the show. On one side it's real German camouflage and on the other side is American camo. There was a French guy who saw the show one night and he recognized the camo, which is really cool. I wanted to put a lot of story in the costumes for us, and if the audience gets it, great.
The denim patchwork ensemble is also quite fabulous.
In the film and the original Jane Street production, there's a cape that Hedwig wears. It has a kind of graffiti effect resembling the Berlin Wall. I wanted to move on from the cape, to build from it, because that was really part of the original Hedwig. I wanted something fresh for Neil. The denim jumpsuit came from the idea that Hedwig would have made it herself to get over the wall, to blend in with it.
It almost looks like it is the Berlin Wall.
That's exactly right. The Swarovski crystals make brick shapes, and this appliqué is the eye from [the song] "Origin of Love." Over here is Adam and Eve. This graffiti was inspired directly from ACT UP graffiti in some pictures I took of the Berlin Wall when I was there a year and a half ago. It's basically a collage that tells her story, how she was created. Here are more Swarovski beads and studs, and crystal fringe. It was really important to me to use different applications of Swarovski so that the costumes wouldn't be just one big blob of sparkle onstage. They're so artist-supportive and they really bent over backward to supply us. The costume is all about illusion, so what looks like a skirt is really a skort. Every costume has to feel like Hedwig made it herself.
Let's talk about the faux fur extravaganza.
It's our fantasy moment—Hedwig's hairstyle revisited. And the homage to the famous Hedwig wig doesn't end there. We capped the costume off with this gold helmet in the shape of the wig. It's part of a collaboration with Desi Santiago, who's an amazing performance artist and who's also from the club scene. Desi collaborates a lot with me, working on Madonna's tours. So this is a Hedwig helmet based on a German helmet, and because it's chromed in gold, it's also like an Oscar trophy. It's a showstopper.
So much thought goes into every detail. Nothing is accidental.
There has to be a reason for everything. The costumes have to reflect the character and the story, and they're the result of collaboration. I might come up with the inspiration, but I work closely with different artisans. Layers of thought go into each costume, based on the person I'm working with. I collaborated a lot with Eric Winterling's studio. His shop, along with costume designer Eiko Ishioka, manufactured Grace Jones' costumes for her last tour. One of his ideas was to use magnets for the rip-away. I wouldn't have known that. And this crystal mesh bandanna is part of a collaboration with Michael Schmidt, one of the original creators of the club SqueezeBox, where John Cameron Mitchell workshopped Hedwig before Jane Street. Michael's a friend of the show, so I wanted his fingerprints. I really wanted to keep the downtown integrity of the show. Hedwig was really spawned from clubs, so the costumes needed to feel downtown-worthy. That meant avoiding the kind of glitzy sleekness of a lot of Broadway shows. I felt I had to keep Hedwig's rock-and-roll roots.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch is currently in previews and opens on April 22.
