What is the value of DeRozean? Should the Raptors be concerned with signing him at this point?
In my opinion the Raptors need not concern themselves with Demar at this point. He has some skill at both ends of the floor. And at this point to sign him they would in a way be bidding against themselves. Demar might just be be a case of a player putting up numbers on a bad team. I believe with most other franchises in the NBA he would be a 6th to 8th man off the bench. Is there a market for him elsewhere? Toronto is probably willing to pay him as though he were the second best player on the team(NBA Standards) money. The starting range for this is probably 10 million a year. If at the end of the year he makes some improvements in the areas of his game that need it, then I think the contract talks can begin. It's to early to start working on a deal.

Professor Milton Gaither's recent post, Homeschooling Enrollment Data Trends got me to thinking about "homeschooling data" again. The fact that he did not claim "explosive homeschool growth" was refreshing. Some states gather data on homeschoolers, some do not. I live in a state that does not, so I've been curious about the numbers that some in the media and elsewhere throw out occasionally about homeschooling's continued explosive growth. Larry and Susan Kaseman addressed this issue concerning one homeschool investigator in a 2003 HEM Taking Charge colulmn , Who Is Pat Lines and Why Is She Writing About Homeschooling? They noted:
Lines presents misleading statistics and information about homeschoolers, although she made her name as an expert on homeschooling statistics. For example, she exaggerates the rate at which homeschooling is growing. In her 2003 monograph, Lines admits that "the number [of homeschoolers] now appears to be growing at a less dramatic pace," but she still assumes "a 10 percent future annual growth rate." (p. 7) In fact, since the 1998-1999 school year, the number of homeschoolers has declined in Washington by an average of 1.8% a year; increased in Wisconsin at a rate of only 4.1% a year; and in Florida, just 7.7%. (Notes: Lines cites Florida as a high growth state. From 1990 through 1995, Washington and Wisconsin had higher average growth rates than Florida. The decline in the rate of growth began before virtual charter schools opened.)
in addition to researchers studying our community, homeschoolers have been featured in the national, state and local media on many occasions over the years and many of the writers continue to claim that there is explosive homeschool growth. In my state it has been reported that there are over 60,000 homeschoolers, but they never cited a source, nor could they put their finger on where they got this particular number when contacted. Home educators in Ohio are not kept track of via the Ohio State Department of Education, but by local school districts where we notify of our intent to home educate. in response, OHEC studied the number issue and explosive growth claim and came up with Trends in Homeschool Numbers and this spreadsheet, Homeschoolers: Numbers and Yearly Percent Change. OHEC also heard back from the Ohio Department of Education verifying that they do not collect this data.
It is maddening to be included in a statistic that no one can confirm, so finally I contacted Ohio's live online reference service, KnowItNow via our county library and after several days, they did come up with a logical answer. They said that many used a formula shared at A-Z homeschooling that is based on the explosive growth that had occurred in the 80′s and 90′s. Not to critique Anne because she has since updated it and added plenty of disclaimers to her article such as:
"I can get the numbers online of homeschool students in only seven states, so I am using their average growth rate, and assuming it applies in other states. This probably isn't accurate to assume, but is all I have to use."
It is no secret that I'm not a big fan of homeschool statistics, studies, surveys and data gathering. At best they provide a very flat picture of those they are studying, are only as accurate as the data gatherer, the formula and the information provided, and often end up creating a false image of the larger community.
I'm aware that some in our own community have used similar data gathering to promote how wonderful the choice to homeschool is, often claiming that homeschoolers test better and excel in many ways. I'm not saying I'm not very proud of the individuals who have succeeded in this manner, but again, it does not paint an accurate picture of the community as a whole. As a home educator, there are many different ways that I view success and it is often very different from those of a statistician, or even of a fellow homeschooler. What is accurate? I don't know that anyone can answer to that question, but I think Mark Hegener, publisher of Home Education Magazine comes close with this statement from the Washington Post a few years back:
Any way you slice the American pie, you're going to find homeschoolers sticking out of it.

In case you haven't noticed, Manchester United are sitting pretty atop the Premier League with an eight-point cushion over cross-town rivals Manchester City. On Saturday, Janaury 7th, United were second on goal differential. Paul Scholes would come out of retirement the next day, and from then on United would go on an absolutely silly run, earning 34 of 36 possible points and turning the title 'race' into something of a joke.
It's easy to look at Scholes' return as a red herring - one man rarely makes a team, especially not a 37-year-old one who hadn't played for nine months. But the numbers tell an amazing story.
Scoles has started nine Premier League matches since coming out of retirement. United have won all nine of those matches by a cumulative score of 24-3. The three he didn't were at Arsenal, at Chelsea and against Fulham. The cumulative score there was 6-4, including United's only draw since his return, the famous game at Stamford Bridge in which Chelsea raced out to a 3-0 lead, forcing a certain 37-year-old midfielder to come on as a substitute and rescue the point.
As we all know, those statistics are hardly the be all and end all of the debate. United have been knocked out of the FA Cup and the Europa League since Scholes' return, so they're clearly not playing as well in general as their league form suggests, and they may well have padded their differential after Scholes has been substituted himself. Let's dig a little deeper.
How do United play with Scholes on the pitch vs. when he's off? Good question. The attack doesn't change much - they score once every 40 minutes with Scholes around vs. once every 44 with him elsewhere, which might as well be the same number. Their defending is a different story. Manchester United concede a goal once every 183 minutes while Scholes is playing, and once every 54 while he isn't.
The only match that United have lost when Scholes doesn't start was the FA Cup tie at Anfield, and the midfielder came off with the score at 1-1. Meanwhile, their overall record with Scholes not starting is four wins, one draw, and three Europa League losses, including a pair of humiliating performances against Athletic Bilbao in which he didn't feature at all.
The message is pretty simple: United are vulnerable without Scholes and are, more or less all-conquering force with him. Think Sir Alex Ferguson will let him retire again?

11:00am Saturday 16th June 2012 in Bridgwater Area News
ATHLETES from Sedgemoor Manor Junior School took to the field for their sports day.
The children undertook a mixture of traditional track events and other sporting activities.
Parents watched as their children ran, played football, threw balls and skipped their way to victory.
Jim Gillard, PE coordinator, said: "We like our PE here and do a lot of it. We have successful teams and athletes.
"The children go around in ability groups, so everyone has a chance to succeed. It was a fun day for them."
The school thanked East Bridgwater students who did a great job stewarding the event.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Several local police agencies are wishing a young Rhode Island boy battling Leukemia a happy birthday.
Tyler Seddon is turning 7, and he is now in his second battle with Leukemia. His heroes are police and firefighters, so his mother spearheaded an online campaign to have members of law enforcement and fire departments send cards to Tyler for his birthday.
He was named police chief of Burrilville, RI for the day.
The recruits and Academy Training Officers of the 201st Session of the Basic School took it a step further, collecting more than $1000 in donations to help with his medical expenses and delivered boxes of cards and gifts.
The Whitehall Police Department also sent Tyler a package for his special day.

The West Virginia Association of School Administrator's conference has a new addition this year: A conversation with legislators.
Superintendents from around the state were in Bridgeport Thursday to discuss topics ranging from the education audit to upcoming legislative issues that affect the school systems.
Harrison County Superintendent Susan Collins said she's excited about the conference and what's to come.
"I think this is the time that if there's ever going to be a change, that our legislators are in place and because of the audit, they have something to base their decisions that they make on," Collins said.
The conference is a two-day event and will continue Friday.
Collins said it's also a wonderful opportunity to learn about other school districts.

Taylor County (WQOW) - One of the men accused of helping an off-duty volunteer firefighter set fires is going to jail.
Chris Zak, from Medford, was charged with helping a friend use Molotov cocktails to set fire to four barns and sheds in Taylor County two years ago.
Investigators said Jason Schmudlach was the instigator. He was a Rib Lake firefighter who was setting the fires because he wanted the 'action' and notoriety of helping put them out. Zak was sentenced on Tuesday to seven months in jail and 500 hours of community service. Schmudlach is serving a five-year prison sentence.

NY Times Commemorates 9-11: Rise in Hate Crimes, Xenophobia Against Muslims
The New York Times printed a special section on the 10th anniversary of the World Trade Center terror attacks: "The Reckoning: America and the World a Decade After 9/11."
Though the 40-page section was mostly respectful, focusing on the victims and personal remembrances of that horrible day, there was some scattered politicized reporting within the section, and some objectionable editorializing elsewhere in the Times September 11 edition.
A subsection entitled "Muslims Now" was highlighted by Andrea Elliott's long article, "Young Muslims Come of Age." Elliott saw "public opposition to mosques, rising hate crimes and proposed legislation aimed" aimed at Muslims.
Remziya Suleyman hardly noticed the rain as she stood in April under the shelter of a black umbrella in Nashville, waiting for the rally to begin. She had imagined this moment for months, yet her mouth fell open as a bus from Knoxville pulled up, and then one from Memphis, delivering the first of hundreds of Muslims to her charge.
Many had never voted, much less marched. In their native lands -- countries like Syria, Somalia and Iran -- protests brought dangerous repercussions. But here in Tennessee, a place long considered safe harbor for Muslim immigrants, they were confronting a new tempest: public opposition to mosques, rising hate crimes and proposed legislation aimed, they felt, at marginalizing people of their faith.
As hate crimes against Muslims soared, the youngest recoiled at first, keeping a low profile, said Lori Peek, a sociologist at Colorado State University and author of "Behind the Backlash: Muslim Americans After 9/11."
Suleyman participated in a protest at the state capitol building in Tennessee:
They lined the hallways of the state Capitol, where lawmakers were deliberating on an antiterrorism statute that, in its original wording, singled out shariah, or Islamic law, as a security threat -- the latest effort in a national movement fueled by rising antipathy toward Muslims. Under mounting criticism, Tennessee's lawmakers had removed all references to Islam, but Muslim leaders were still nervous the statute would lead to unfair treatment.
But Newsbuster Noel Sheppard rounded up some actual hate crime statistics last year and found no rampant Islamaphobia in America; in fact, FBI data indicates hate crimes against Jews are ten times more common than hate crimes against Muslims.
Sunday's lead editorial, "Loss and Hope" turned from expressing sadness for the lives lost that day to a jeremiad against the "rise in xenophobia, and "a weakening of...civil liberties" that followed.
But America has not been enlarged in the years that have passed. Based on false pretexts, we were drawn into a misdirected war that has exacted enormous costs in lives and money. Our civic life is tainted by a rise in xenophobia that betrays our best ideals. As we prepared for a war on terrorism, we gave in to a weakening of the civil liberties that have been the foundation of our culture.
Former Executive Editor Bill Keller, who supported the invasion of Iraq, with caveats, confessed in a self-absorbed Sunday Review column ("My Unfinished 9/11 Business – A hard look at why I wanted war") that the Iraq War "was a monumental blunder"
Keller, in a revealing sidelight, admitted Times journalists were feeling pressured by the left. It would certainly account for the slant of the paper's forthcoming coverage.
The remedy for bad journalism is more and better journalism. Reporters at The Times made amends for the credulous prewar stories with investigations of the bad intelligence and with brave, relentless and illuminating coverage of the war and occupation. But what The Times writes casts a long shadow. For years, our early stories hyping Iraq's menace (and to a lesser extent what people like me wrote on the opinion pages) fed a suspicion, especially on the left, that we were not to be trusted.
John F. Burns, a correspondent who chronicled the tyranny of Hussein while the man was still in power and stayed on to cover the invasion and aftermath, recalls the reflexive hostility he encountered as a Times reporter on trips home. "We were all liars, warmongers, lapdogs of Bush and Cheney and so forth," he told me.
"Whatever we wrote -- no matter what it was, and no matter how well documented -- was dismissed as Bush propaganda," added Dexter Filkins, who covered the battlefields and politics of Afghanistan and Iraq for The Times before moving last January to The New Yorker. "That was probably going to happen anyway, but the paper's real failings gave those criticisms more credibility -- and longer legs -- than they deserved. Remember that the right-wingers (and a lot of the military) hated us at the time, too, since the war had started to go badly from the get-go, and we were reporting that."

So let me get this straight,
Submitted by ant on Tue, 09/13/2011 - 11:28am.
So let me get this straight, if America, a land of opportunity that draws many people from all over the world longing to escape and be free, rejects the tenents of a political/religious Sharia law in favor of it's own Constitution on the grounds it is a direct contradiction to the freedoms and liberties we hold dear, that is "Islamophobia". And people who have CHOSEN to live here fear they will be treated as second-class citizens, if the law of their original homeland, which treated them as second-class citizens, is not put to practice. Is that about right? This is their "intellectualism" on display and they have the nerve to look down on those who disagree with this 'logic'.

Other than CAIR press releases.
My county has the 2nd highest concentration of muslims in the entire country, and off the top of my head (/s) I couldn't name a single hate-crime-against-muslims that's made the news since 9-11. I could, however, name plenty of hate crimes of the opposite direction.

Once again the NYSlimes
Submitted by eaglewingz08 on Tue, 09/13/2011 - 12:00pm.
Once again the NYSlimes taking up the cudgel of islamofascist propaganda. Hate crimes against muslims, (and that is a very broad term) never came close to hate crimes against Jews, even after 9/11. There was a temporary spike in such purported crimes (somehow I think that CAIR pounded the muslim community to report every imagined dirty look to pump up their victimhood complaints) after 9/11, but they precipitously dropped off, soon after, as the Newsbusters link clearly shows.
Once again the "fact based" "multilayered fact checking" media, has been caught with its pants down and its anti americanism on display for all to see.

Facts do not matter!!!
Submitted by NavyBuckeye on Tue, 09/13/2011 - 12:09pm.
The left is doing what it does best: boast about something completely false and then put the onus on the other side to prove them wrong. Make the opposition do the leg work and by the time the truth comes out they have already pushed the lie so much that the slow witted, American Idol American only believes what has been pushed the hardest.
Facts do not matter. The President is spouting the same jobs plan (almost identical) as he did 2 years ago, asking for more money at the same time telling Americans the results will be different. We just didn't spend enough.

Liberal "feelings"
Submitted by Schofield Kid on Tue, 09/13/2011 - 1:07pm.
This is typical liberal reporting wherein they can't back up their assertion, but they just "feel" like it must be true so they go ahead and make the claim anyway. Most famously this was illustrated with the Dan Rather debacle when he used a forged document to claim GW Bush was AWOL from National Guard duty. He has never backed away from the story saying how he just had a gut feeling that it must be true. No sane person believes there has been in a surge in crimes against muslims because there's not a shred of evidence to back it up.

9/11 was an Islam job
Submitted by Jack Bauer on Tue, 09/13/2011 - 3:41pm.
There have been about 20 times (at least) more CHURCHES burned to the ground than MOSKS since 9/11. Has there even been one?
The largest ethnic group with reported HATE CRIMES against them are the Jews. Muslims are way down the list -- and Muslims are NOT an ethnic ghroup.
Sometimes I get the impression New York Times LIBERALS want Muslims murdered so they can "indict" America.
I know their hearts sink whenever there is a terrorist incident which invariably involves Islamists.

Army foresees another drop in military readiness if sequestration returns
The Army says it is now replacing funds in its readiness accounts that were depleted when cuts under sequestration first kicked in a year ago. But last year's readiness problems are likely to repeat in 2016 and beyond if Congress allows the automatic Defense cuts in current law to persist.

Air Force to accelerate headquarters staff cuts
Air Force leaders intend to surpass their share of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's edict to reduce DoD headquarters spending by 20 percent and complete the task several years ahead of schedule. The personnel cuts are part of the service's plan to shrink its size in order to catch up with decades of deferred spending on readiness and modernization.

DoD's 2015 budget envisions smaller military with less generous benefits
The Pentagon says its spending plan acknowledges defense spending is on a downward trajectory, and reduces force structure in order to balance other priorities such as readiness. If sequestration stays in place, the calculus will change, Defense officials say.

DoD shields basic research, but other R&D will take serious budget hit
Frank Kendall, the undersecretary of Defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, said while the budget agreement adds money back to DoD's overall spending capacity in 2014 and 2015, the deal still doesn't plug holes in the Pentagon's research funding. Kendall estimated R&D funding will drop by as much as 20 percent compared to the department's initial requests.

Is any other TV network broadcasting it? How about ESPN3? I know WCCO radio will broadcast it but I can't get it here it in North Carolina without paying a fee through the Gophers Network, and that's high priced for only one game. What to do? Any thoughts?

Temporarily Yours: Intimacy, Authenticity, and the Commerce of Sex (Google eBook)
University of Chicago Press, Jun 8, 2010 - Social Science - 288 pages
Generations of social thinkers have assumed that access to legitimate paid employment and a decline in the 'double standard' would eliminate the reasons behind women's participation in prostitution. Yet in both the developing world and in postindustrial cities of the West, sexual commerce has continued to flourish, diversifying along technological, spatial, and social lines. In this deeply engaging and theoretically provocative study, Elizabeth Bernstein examines the social features that undergird the expansion and diversification of commercialized sex, demonstrating the ways that postindustrial economic and cultural formations have spawned rapid and unforeseen changes in the forms, meanings, and spatial organization of sexual labor.
Drawing upon dynamic and innovative research with sex workers, their clients, and state actors, Bernstein argues that in cities such as San Francisco, Stockholm, and Amstersdam, the nature of what is purchased in commercial sexual encounters is also new. Rather than the expedient exchange of cash for sexual relations, what sex workers are increasingly paid to offer their clients is an erotic experience premised upon the performance of authentic interpersonal connection. As such, contemporary sex markets are emblematic of a cultural moment in which the boundaries between intimacy and commerce—and between public life and private—have been radically redrawn. Not simply a compelling exploration of the changing landscape of sex-work, Temporarily Yours ultimately lays bare the intimate intersections of political economy, desire, and culture.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
Bad dates are like evil Beanie Babies -- something you collect, but only so you can scare your friends with them. But as terrible as they are, bad dating experiences do serve a purpose. "Bad dates help you figure out what you don't want in a man," says Norine Dworkin, coauthor of You Know He's a Keeper, You Know He's a Loser: Happy Endings and Horror Stories from Real-Life Relationships (Perigee Trade, 2004). "You go out with a fellow, he picks his nose, and now you know what else to add to your don't-want list: A nose-picker."
Knowing what you don't want helps -- to a point. Take Jessica's experience, for example. She thought she knew what she was getting into with her first date. "The date seemed so promising," says Jessica, 26, from Washington, DC. "He was 30 and established in his job. I thought he'd be a welcome relief from the postcollege flaky guys I'm usually exposed to. We were watching TV when he went in for a smooch. I wasn't in the mood for that -- first date and all -- so I gently rebuffed him." A few moments later, he reached across Jessica to grab his soda from the table.
"But instead of drinking from it, he stuck his finger into it and poked his now-wet finger into my right ear," Jessica recalls. "I was shocked, not having experienced a wet Willie since the age of 7, so I turned away to compose myself -- at which point he reached down my pants and yanked up my undies. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I'd received a wedgie. Needless to say, I'd overestimated his maturity, and didn't go out with him again."
You may not have found yourself on a date with Pee-Wee Herman, but you've probably had a similarly mortifying moment.
To recover from a he-seemed-so-normal situation, Dworkin says, chalk it up to experience. "Don't beat yourself up with 'how could I have not seen what a creep he was,'" says Dworkin. "Instead say, 'at least I found out before I got too involved,' and know the next one has to be better."
Far from being discouraged by the many utterly icky experiences recounted in her terrifying tome, Dworkin says the other thing she learned from the bad dates out there "is how lucky I am to have the guy I finally found. He may leave his socks out, but he doesn't pick his nose in public -- knowing what's out there, I'm a lot more tolerant of my prince not-so-charming's foibles."
We've all got a first-date horror story. Here, several women reveal their most horrifying dating don'ts:
Smile! "My girlfriend was raving about how great this guy was, so I agreed to have dinner with him. He told me he had just bought a little house, and invited me back for dessert. I thought that was nice. As we ate dessert in the living room, he gave me a funny look. Then he smiled, and I saw he was missing one front tooth. I tried to smile politely, but he held up the [missing] tooth in his hand and said, 'It's fake! You couldn't tell!' I don't think I would have minded the fake tooth, but I didn't need it shown to me -- nor did I need him to ask, 'Can I kiss you? If you run your tongue through the hole, I'll bet it'll feel really weird.' No... no thanks." Rene, Portland, Oregon, 34
Ole -- Oh No "I was on a first date with this guy, and we were having Mexican food. Yum, right? Yes, until he decided to move in for a smooch -- and pushed a Jalapeno pepper from his mouth into mine. What was that, his special move? Thank you very much, Zorro!" Denise, 40, Brooklyn, New York
Dinner and a Restraining Order "It was a great date with a cute, charming guy: dinner, then drinks and chit-chat, and finally a walk around this groovy little neighborhood. Finally, he stopped, and said he 'wanted to come clean, since we'd had such a nice time' and said he wanted to take it further. He just had to be honest first. The reason he was wearing long pants, not shorts, was that he was wearing an electronic bracelet on his ankle. He was under house arrest -- for stalking his ex-girlfriend. Did I mind, he asked? I said I didn't, but then made sure my airline reassigned me so I'd never fly through his city again. Ever!!" Anne, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 34
A Third Wheel "I was set up with a guy. He asked if I'd like to go to a Kings hockey game, and I said sure, but when he picked me up there was another woman in the front seat. He didn't introduce her, but said he was dropping her at the airport, and I proceeded to sit in the backseat feeling like a little kid while they babbled away in French. His cocky attitude continued, and I tried to fake some stomach pains to get out of the game at half-time, but he insisted we go out to some clubs afterward (where he had "connections," which never materialized). Thank goodness I ran into some friends at the club and could leave with them. But it gets weirder: a year ago I ended up in the ER with an allergic reaction to a sinus shot, and this fella was my doctor. And he asked me out again! No thank you, Dr. Ick!" Karyn, Los Angeles, California, 35
SpongeBob DorkPants "My worst date never actually happened, thank God. I saw this guy, Paulie, online, and when we spoke on the phone, he sounded like he really understood women, because he had grown up with lots of sisters, you know? So the night before our beach date, we talk on the phone to confirm. He asks me what kind of bathing suit I wear. I say I have both a one-piece and a bikini, and I switch off depending on my mood. So he hmphs, and says 'Usually, when girls wear one-pieces, it means they're trying to hide something, like a fat stomach.' I'm like, okay, whatever. But he keeps going: 'Do you go to the gym?' I said no, but I left out the fact that I run four times a week, because how is it any of his business? Finally, he goes, 'Look, I can't see from this picture what your body looks like, and you might be fat. And I don't date big girls.' He goes on to say that he's concerned about my health, and says he couldn't date a woman who doesn't work out." I said, 'Why are you being such an ass?' and he responds that he didn't know I had such a rude vocabulary, and couldn't date me now anyway. Which was the correct answer, for once." Jillian, Cincinnati, Ohio, 26
Intestinal Terror "This guy took me out for sushi. Yay. But it turned out to be an all-you-can-eat joint. Boo. If there's one thing I think you shouldn't cheap out on, it's raw fish. I stuck to the safe stuff, but he ate enough for me, him, and the next table -- then disappeared for 40 minutes. I wasn't sure what to do. Finally, he returned, belt in hand, and recounted (a) that he had an attack of diarrhea, (b) that the bathroom had a mirror so he was able to watch this diarrhea happen, and (c) that he had taken off the aforementioned belt so he could feel more comfortable. That was all I needed to hear, really -- domestic details like that should be saved for after marriage, I think. Maybe even for after divorce." Debbie, Maplewood, New Jersey, 33
Hey! Remember Me? I'm Your Date! "I went out with a Seinfeld look-alike, which was bad enough to start with. He took me to a show where we were seated at long table with a gaggle of girls. By the middle of the show, I looked over to see him completely sitting with his back to me, deeply engaged in conversation with one of the girls. Not wanting to make a fuss, but not sure what to do, I went to the bathroom for a moment of peace. Her friends followed me in there, apologizing: 'She does this all the time,' they said. 'She's such a bitch. We're so sorry!' I said it was no problem -- he really wasn't my type anyway. I hope he got her number and they're very happy together." Cindy, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 36
Red Hot and Blech "I had gone out with this guy a few times, so we went back to his house to make out. But before we could sit on the couch and get comfortable, he took a handkerchief, removed the bulb from the nearby lamp, and replaced it with a blue lightbulb. Now that he had his mood lighting ready, he turned on the stereo. What came on? 'Nights in White Satin' by the Moody Blues. I'll admit that I did make out with him, since I didn't know how not to... but it wasn't for long, and he never got past first base. Okay?" Betsy, Montclair, New Jersey, 35
Clothing Optional "This guy and I were kissing on the couch after our first date. I excused myself to go to the bathroom. When I came out, he'd taken off all his clothes. I repeat: He had taken off all his clothes! When I expressed surprise at this turn of events, he said, 'What? I thought that's why you went to the bathroom.' Hey, you've got to give him points for trying. But points were all he got that night!" Sarah, 45, Bloomfield, New Jersey
Waaay Too Much Information "He seemed so great online, but when we met, he began detailing the show he'd seen at an S&M club the previous weekend. Lots of hog-tying, plenty of whipping...When he got to the part about the knives, I blurted out something about having to run to dinner, shook his hand, and ran out of there. I should have said, 'I didn't mean to cut you off...'" Irene, Brooklyn, New York, 36
Date not going well? Don't climb out the bathroom window. Dworkin has some get-lost-quick moves that'll leave you free as a bird, but smelling like a rose.
"The most important thing," says Dworkin, "is to not feel bad about hurting his feelings. We women get caught up in that, but it's better to cut bait than string him along. I once dated what was supposed to be a one-night-stand for eight months just to be polite. Who knows who I missed meeting in the process?"
Indeed. A certain author -- of this article -- kept dating a guy she now refers to as Fat-Josh for a year and a half after he let loose a vicious fart, in the middle of a charming cobblestoned street, while eating a drippy falafel, on their first date. Don't meet the same fate: Learn to extricate yourself from a distressing situation -- and keep trying till you find Mister Right (or at least Mister Not-So-Flatulent).

Precious metals fall
- From: AAP
- August 01, 2013
GOLD prices have remained lower, but have cut some earlier losses, as traders find few clues about the path of monetary policy in the Federal Reserve's statement.
The central bank kept its $US85 billion-a-month bond-buying program in place, and described economic growth as "modest" for the first time in at least three years.
The Federal Open Market Committee had previously described growth as "moderate".
However, the statement left some investors and market-watchers unsatisfied as to a definitive shift in the central bank's plans for tapering its monthly bond purchases.
"The Fed didn't say anything new, tapering is still on the table," said Dave Meger, director of metals trading at Vision Financial Markets LLC.
Gold futures swung between $US1,305.30 and $US1,323.20 an ounce in electronic after-market trade as investors sifted through the FOMC statement. Gold floor trading had ended for the day at 1.30pm EDT, about half an hour before the Fed released its statement.
The most actively traded contract, for December delivery, settled down $US11.80, or 0.9 per cent, at $US1,313.00 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Gold prices have tumbled 22 per cent so far this year amid anticipation that the Fed would roll back the stimulus measure. Some investors worry that bond yields will rise in response, leaving little reason to hold a zero-yielding asset like gold.
Still, with no firm timeline on the start and pace of curtailing the bond purchases, gold traders are limited to watching economic data for clues about the Fed's likely thinking, Meger said.
"You're going to continue to see days like today, where the market is overly sensitive to pieces of economic data," he said.
Gold prices had retreated throughout Wednesday's trade after data showed US economic growth rose to 1.7 per cent in the second quarter, from 1.1 per cent growth in the first three months of the year, and well ahead of the 0.9 per cent expansion that analysts expected.
In addition, a private-sector jobs tally rose by 200,000 in July, more than the 183,000 increase expected, according to payroll processor Automatic Data Processing and forecasting firm Moody's Analytics.
The stronger data prompted selling in gold as investors worried that the Fed's easy money policies that had sent gold to record-highs would soon be rolled back.
"It all equates to the Fed having more reason to curtail bond purchases in October," said Bill Baruch, a senior market strategist with Chicago-based brokerage iiTrader.
Baruch said more losses could be on the way if the Fed's policy statement clarifies the timing and pace of reducing stimulus measures.
"I think we could see $1,000 an ounce by the end of the year," he said.
Settlements (ranges include open-outcry and electronic trading):
London PM Gold Fix: $1,314.50; previous PM $1,324.15
Dec gold $1,313.00, down $11.80; Range $1,305.30-$1,339.70

SCORES of tributes have been paid to a student who has died after a crash on the A55.
Duncan Monteith suffered a brain haemorrhage on his way to the University of Chester last Friday morning and his car collided into the central reservation near Northop.
He was taken to the Countess of Chester Hospital, but died shortly afterwards. He was 27.
On a Facebook tribute page set up in his name, his brother, Alasdair Monteith said no other individuals or cars were involved in the accident.
"The doctor who treated him in A&E believes Duncan would have died very quickly and would not have suffered in the crash," he said.
"Without knowing too much about the haemorrhage at this stage, he also indicated it's a condition some people are born with and it could have occurred at any time."
He added: "The decision was taken as a family that Duncan would have wanted to donate his organs. This was carried out on Saturday night and I understand a number of individuals have already benefited."
Last night, nearly 200 people had joined the Facebook tribute group.
Among the many tributes paid was one from Scott Watson, who said Duncan was "a credit to his family".
Gillian Menzies described him as "a very gentle likeable person who will be missed".
And Chris Allie Hodgson said Duncan, from Glan Conwy, would always be remembered for his cheery smile, warmth and friendliness.
Robert Shield said Duncan had been his "best man, in every sense".
University friend Jonas Hickson said in nearly every picture of him Duncan was wearing a massive grin.
"The world has lost one of the most genuine and lovely people you'd ever meet," he said. "Uni' would have been darker without him."
Lydia Vliet said: "I am so incredibly heartbroken to hear about the loss of such a wonderful person.
"I met Duncan when I was studying abroad in Lancaster in 2007 and I could not have met a nicer person to show me the beautiful sights of England. My love goes out to his friends and family."
Sarah Ritchie, alumni and development director at Rydal Penrhos School in Colwyn Bay, where Duncan was educated, described him as "a delightful young man, who was well liked by pupils and staff here."
"Everyone at Rydal Penrhos would like to extend their sympathy to Duncan's family and friends," she said.
Prof Danny Moss, Chester Business Master's programme leader and Duncan's personal tutor, said: "Duncan Monteith was undoubtedly one of the most enthusiastic and well-liked students on the Chester Business Master's programme which he began in September last year.
"Duncan was currently completing one of the two extended work placements that are part of the programme at the global translation company, Welocalize, based in Tarporley.
"Duncan was always a 'glass is half full' type of person, always looking for the positives in any situation and with a strong sense of purpose and determination to succeed.
"My colleagues and I, as well all the everyone at the university who has heard this tragic news, are shocked and find it hard to accept that we have lost such a talented and very likeable young man."

The motive behind a suspected double murder-suicide in Lubbock County remained unclear Monday night. Investigators say autopsy results should give them better indication of when 65-year-old Christopher Anderson and his wife Elaine, also 65, died.
The couple's daughter discovered their bodies just after 9:00 a.m. Monday inside their home at 8517 County Road 6500. Shortly after, a home health nurse found Elaine's mother, 84-year-old Alice Johnson, dead at her home next door. All three died of gunshot wounds. Authorities have not named the shooter, but investigators suspect they were shot within 24 hours of the discovery.
Christopher Anderson was a well-known orthodontist in Lubbock. Co-workers say he treated thousands of patients over the years. NewsChannel 11 visited his office Monday afternoon, and spoke with friends who called Anderson a dedicated doctor and friend. "I always think of him as just a patient, kind, wonderful person who just did whatever he could for anybody," family friend and former co-worker Chris Brown said.
Brown met Doctor Anderson through his father. Doctor John Brown brought Anderson into his practice, and Chris worked in the office. "I worked under both my dad and Doctor Anderson during the summer time when I was off from school work," Brown said.
When Doctor Brown retired, Anderson took over the practice. On Monday he didn't show up to work, and that's when Anderson's daughter made the gruesome discovery. His office remained closed through the day, as staff began to contact thousands of his patients. "They were looking at as many a 3,000 patients or former patients trying to figure out how to mail information to them, and just to reassure them the office is still here," Brown said.
Fellow orthodontists offered their assistance, as those who knew him say Anderson would have done himself. "He was such a servant to the community, and I think that's probably one thing that is not known about Doctor Anderson. He served on many boards. The office is full of tributes to his professionalism, and his unselfish attitude towards others," Brown said.
No one expected his service would end so abruptly or so tragically, but Chris hopes people will remember Anderson as a man who was there at the drop of a hat for anybody. "I think that the community will really miss a servant who put out his heart and soul to not only the individual, but to the community as a whole," Brown said.
Doctor John Brown is coming out of retirement to cover Anderson's patients. They'll begin doing so at the office near 24th and Quaker Avenue on Tuesday.
Evidence Leads Authorities to Suspect Double Murder-Suicide
New details continue to come in surrounding the deaths of three family members in northwest Lubbock County. The Lubbock County Sheriff's Office indicates evidence points to a double murder-suicide.
Friend of Orthodontist Remembers How He Served Community
Dr. Christopher Anderson saw thousands of patients over the years, and plans are in place to keep his practice open.

The greatest thing that has happened this season is the many Portlanders who have allowed their hearts to share the same fate as 15 guys, who place themselves on the chopping block every time they step out onto the floor.
So after last night, Blazers, that's two broken hearts. Twice that we've been right there with you, emotions pulsing, pulses racing. When you win, we share with you in the joy. The city is energized, smiles abound. When you are recognized by other teams, by the league, and by the nation; we stand, clap and shout.
And when guys named The King, The Big Ticket, and The Answer smash your hopes and slice your dreams, our hearts are torn as well. A grieving silence overcomes the Rose Garden as we file out. With clenched teeth, and heavy eyelids we push power on the remote. We mourn lost games like lost pets, able to move on best when another one arrives.
We bleed when you bleed Brandon, and we ache when you ache Jarrett. But we celebrate with you too...and there will be much more to celebrate in the years to come.

Urbana – New details in an Urbana murder investigation. Another man's been arrested, accused of trying to bribe the murder victim, before his death.
29 year old Curtis Mosley was shot several times inside his Urbana apartment on East Colorado Avenue Monday night. Mosley was supposed to testify in court Tuesday in the aggravated battery case against 23 year old Ardis Fenn.
Prosecutors say Fenn shot Mosley last June. Fenn did not show up in court on Tuesday morning; there is now a $10 million warrant out for his arrest.
On Wednesday police arrested another Urbana man, accused of trying to bribe Mosley to not testify against Ardis Fenn. Police say 20 year old Jakeem Nelson offered Mosley money, on behalf of Ardis Fenn.
Nelson is expected in court this afternoon.

Idyllwild rocks
"Belay on," "Off belay," "Belay off." A strange conjugation in a foreign language? Perhaps to some, but not to climbers. Hike up to the base of Tahquitz Rock or Suicide Rock on any week-end and you'll hear these calls echoing off the pure, sensuous granite walls that make up this internationally known and revered climbing area. Some of these calls will be mine.

By SCOTT WEISSER and ROGER SCHNEIDER
Goshen News
Goshen attorney Joseph C. Lehman has been barred from practicing law for at least two years by the Indiana Supreme Court.
Speaking to The Goshen News Thursday afternoon, Lehman took exception to a number of the high court's findings.
The court, through Judge Margot F. Reagan and a hearing officer appointed by the court, found cause against Lehman on five counts of misconduct. Those counts include:
• Failure to appear for court hearings, in which he was found in contempt and jailed by an Elkhart County judge;
• Improper handling of client information due to throwing records into a Dumpster that were found to contain personal information of those clients;
• Improperly representing a client in a bankruptcy case and not filing proper bankruptcy schedules in that case and habitually filing incomplete bankruptcy schedules;
• Another incident of misconduct by failing to appear in court and then arguing his $400 fine imposed for that violation was owed by his client;
• Writing two checks drawn on his trust account that were rejected for insufficient funds and mixing his own funds with those of his clients in his trust account.
Lehman, who has run for local offices as a Democratic candidate, was jailed for contempt of court in March 2012 by Superior Court 1 Judge Evan Roberts. In that case Roberts gave Lehman the option to spend three days in jail or reimburse an opposing attorney $2,100 for his travel time from Michigan City and witness costs and only serve one day in jail. Lehman paid the reimbursement, according to a Goshen News article published April 13, 2012.
It was the second time Judge Roberts found Lehman in contempt for not appearing for court cases. Roberts said in that news account that Lehman had not appeared on five different occasions in that case.
"A lawyer has a duty, a responsibility and an obligation to professionally represent their client," Roberts said at the time.
Also in that article Lehman said he was not notified about the hearing until 10 minutes before it occurred and he was in Goshen when notified. The hearing was in the Elkhart courthouse.
Lehman's conduct first came into the public eye in April 2009, when the then-owner of Constant Spring, 219 S. Main St., which is next to Lehman's office, found legal papers in the bar's Dumpster. The owner, Jason Oswald, told The News that he complained to Lehman about him using his Dumpster and asked for $40 from Lehman for the cost of emptying the trash container. Lehman agreed to pay the fee.
In that article Lehman said he was sorry for the incident and had disposed of the files, thinking they would be taken to a landfill. He was clearing old files while moving his office from Main Street to Clinton Street.
In the Supreme Court's finding against Lehman, aggravating and mitigating facts were outlined.
The document states, "The hearing officer found the following facts in mitigation: (1) Respondent has no disciplinary history; and (2) he has represented many clients to a successful completion. The hearing officer found the following facts in aggravation: (1) Respondent has refused to acknowledge his misconduct; (2) Respondent has engaged in a pattern of misconduct over an extensive period of time; (3) he apparently does not feel it necessary to show up for court hearings; (4) the sheer volume of the repeated violations, apparent dishonesty, and lack of any effort to address or apologize for the problems indicate unfitness to practice; and (5) he has a contemptuous disregard for the most basic professional obligations."
Lehman addressed the aggravating factors Thursday:
(1) Speaking about the Dumpster incident, Lehman said that he should have put the items into the landfill, adding, "I did not compromise any of my clients in the whole matter."
(2) "It's hard to rebut a nebulous allegation."
(3) "Absolutely not true."
(4) Regarding "sheer volume," Lehman said, "There again, I have to know exactly what they're talking about." Regarding "apparent dishonesty," he said, "I have never in my life been dishonest to anybody — clients, the courts, anybody, other lawyers." Of "lack of any effort," Lehman said, "I'm willing to apologize, but I have to know where they're coming from."
(5) "Once again, how do I know what they're talking about?," Lehman said, later adding, "Basic professional obligations — I've met them."
The court suspended Lehman's law license for two years, with no automatic reinstatement. The court ruled Lehman may ask the court for reinstatement after two years if he fulfills his duties outlined in state rules for suspended attorneys and meets the state's requirements for reinstatement.
Supreme Court spokewoman Kathryn Dolan said Thursday those requirements are extensive and are set forth in standardized state rules for attorney licensing and reinstatement.
She also said Lehman will have to pay for the cost of his disciplinary hearing, even if he does not seek reinstatement. That cost is $7,760.59.
It's not unusual for requests for disciplinary action to be filed against Indiana attorneys, according to Dolan, but it's rare when the process ends in disciplinary action. She said oftentimes clients seek action against an attorney because of an unfavorable outcome of their case, which she said does not warrant disciplinary action.
"The court hands down about 90 per year, so the actual number of cases that result in disciplinary action are very, very small," Dolan said.
Speaking to The News, Lehman stood by the job he's done as a lawyer.
"I have always done well for my clients, and I think that's of the utmost importance," he said. "I'm proud of my work."
