Lee County -- Investigators in Lee County are working to track down the crooks who snatched $12,000 from a clerk Saturday as she prepared to make a bank deposit. The robbers got away, but not without a fight.
Other than perhaps the mall, the most crowded place you could probably go during the weekend is Wal-Mart. So, why two robbers chose to rob the gas station directly in front of it isn't known.
Perhaps they were hoping to blend in with the crowd. If that was the plan, it worked.
Lunch time. The busiest time of the day for most fast food restaurants, especially on weekends. That's why Bruce Watford is opening a Sonic next to Wal-Mart, he knows there's a lot of traffic here.
And that's why he was so shocked that a robbery took place just a few feet away at Murphy USA gas station at lunchtime on Saturday. "They had a plan and it was pretty bold that they did it when they did it," said Watford.
Watford didn't see the robbery, but he and Jay Dykes, the building supervisor, heard and saw what happened right after. "I heard a lady blowing the horn in a white Tahoe over here and I kind of glanced over and she was chasing this young fella and it looked like he had something in his hand," Dykes says.
Dykes thought the man stole the woman's pocket book. Little did he know the suspect snatched $12,000.
Investigators believe the suspects where somewhere in the area of the parking lot directly in front of the Fashion Bug. They were waiting in their car and watching to see when the cashier would walk out with the deposit bag. When she walked out, that's when they hit.
Investigator Miles O'Quinn says, "She was walking out to her car, the subject was actually parked in Wal-Mart's parking lot and came between the cars and meet her at her car, knocked her to the ground and snatched the bag off of her arm that contained the money for the deposit."
Sixty-two-year-old cashier, Jane Rayburn was hurt, but not badly. She was back at work today, but said she wasn't allowed to comment on the robbery.
Rayburn doesn't usually make bank deposits, but it appears someone knew she would make one on Saturday. "It appears they had an idea about what time it may be dropped," O'Quinn says.
Maybe an inside job? "Not sure at this time."
"From my perspective, I would almost think it was an inside job, because they had to know who it was that was carrying the deposits out, when the deposits were being carried out and they watched her."
But Watford will be watching out for his own employees now. He says they'll take extra precautions to keep them safe while making deposits. "When we take bank deposits, we'll make sure we've got two that always go, and we'll take them during random parts of the day and we do more frequent deposits."
"When you get ready to do it, call us, a few minutes ahead of time and one of our officers will come by and escort you to the bank, especially when making large deposits," O'Quinn says.
The best description of the suspect who snatched the purse is that he is black and in his early 20's. He was wearing a white tank top, dark jeans and a white mask during the robbery. The driver is also described as a black man with a large build.
Investigators believe the getaway car was a Chevy Impala, navy or dark blue with a new paint job. The vehicle should now have front end damage to the passenger's side where it rammed another vehicle.

damson plum jam: foody fridays
Harvest Season is here! I am preparing to make my annual Damson Plum Jam from plum trees in the backyard. Damson Plums are very tiny silvery looking plums, what they lack in size, they make up for in taste. They are the preferred plums to make preserves and jam out of.
To make the jam, you will need: 3 pounds Damson Plums, 1/2 cup water, 6 cups sugar, two large pots, a stirring spoon, canning jars, canning jar grabber, canning funnel, magnetic lid lifter for canning, cherry pitter, canning jars and lids. (I typically end up with tons of plums so I repeat this recipe until either I run out of plums or canning jars).
Wash plums thoroughly, pit them with cherry pitter and place in large pot, add water, and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning and adding more water if necessary. The plums will release their own water and the skins will slip off, leaving a soupy mess. The cherry pitter is crucial, unless you want to strain the plums with cheesecloth. I prefer having skins in the preserves, so fishing out each little pit becomes a nightmare--just pit them and you save yourself the hassle. You will want to cook them 10-15 minutes.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Add sugar. Some people prefer less, some more. I prefer less, so 4.5 to 5 cups is about right to counteract the tartness of the plums. Just add sugar to your taste preference. Place the pot back on the stove, and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring constantly.
I like the consistency to be a bit 'country style' so I add no to little pectin. If I do add it, it is only a couple tablespoons, not the entire packet. I like it to look more natural than 'gel' consistency.
If it's a little runny, it will still be delicious--and perfect on french toast and pancakes!
While the jam is cooking, or simultaneously, I boil the canning jars in another pot of water for 10 minutes--taking them out with a jar lifter and placing them on a towel to dry and evaporate the water off. Lids need only 5 minutes in the boiling water--retrieve them out with a magnetic lid lifter.
Once the jam is ready, place a canning funnel onto the top of a jar and ladle in the plum mixture. The canning funnel prevents a mess. Place a lid and a ring on each jar and tighten as much as you can. When you have 4-6 jars full-place them back into the boiling water and create the vaccum seal by boiling them for 10-15 minutes. (Water must be deep enough to cover jars) Remove them with the jar lifter and place back on towel. Repeat until jam and jars are gone. Listen for the 'pop' and you canning is complete. If any jars do not seal, you can re-boil them to try again or just refrigerate the mixture and use within a week or so. Label your plum creations and enjoy for up to a year-ish.

yummmmm! can we do a trade: I have lots of tomoatoes. . . need any??
Sure!–I can trade for the finished jam, I already picked the trees bare!

It was the Fall of 2008 amidst a growing recession, Al and I sat in front of the television staring at the news just before leaving for work. We were living in Aspen, Colorado working for a real estate conglomerate partially (a good partial) financed by Lehman Brothers. We were in trouble.
There were layoffs, and more layoffs and we began talking. Were we next? What would we do on one income or no income? Aspen is not a cheap town to live in and we would definitely need to relocate. But to where? We began formulating a plan to move to the west cost of Florida which we had become familiar with through his parents' second home. On the subject of what to do, no idea.
Starting a business was our first option. Al was raised in an entrepreneurial family and I had always been too strong-minded to want to work for someone else. We jotted ideas down – there was a fitness website, website sales, financial firms, consulting firms. We looked at the brainstorming sheet and thought…we don't want to do this. The idea generation really boiled down to one question – what do we really want to get out of life? Well, we want to eat, drink and travel. Those were the most basic activities we wanted out of life. After a few discussions with a friend that was a partial owner of a local wine shop in Aspen, we decided that a wine empire could provide just those activities.
We settled on a wine boutique and national sales website in January 2009 and named it Decanted. In February, we spent two weeks researching the market in Naples and started working our plan. We relocated in June, spent tireless hours working through the summer and opened on December 11, 2009.
Owning a business has been the single greatest and single most challenging decision of my life. I have yet to find something that changes your life as much as a business does (I've heard children do as well but I can't attest to that yet). It's a roller coaster ride with highs and lows, it's stressful and liberating, it's everything you want yet the hardest thing to do. There are so many emotions involved in owning a business it's hard to wrap them into a single book, let alone a blog post.
But at the end of the day, I look around at what we have accomplished and I can't help but be proud of us. The business enables us to do what we enjoy. Al and I spend more time together now than ever before, our relationship is stronger than ever, we not only appreciate each other for our personalities but our business knowledge and demeanor. We work when we want, we take time off when we need. If we need more money, we make it. We don't rely on anyone but ourselves to control our lives. I love going to work everyday and I truly have everything I want out of life. And yes, I get to eat, drink and travel.
I'm coming over if I am ever in the area. I love vino!

Former Sharks owner Gund dies
San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - George Gund III, who, along with his brother Gordon, helped bring hockey back to the Bay Area, passed away on Tuesday.
According to the Mercury News, Gund died in Palm Springs.
The Gunds, natives of Cleveland and born into a prominent family, held a minority stake in the California Golden Seals and were instrumental in bringing the crumbling franchise to the shores of Lake Erie in 1976.
When that club, known as the Barons, encountered trouble, the brothers worked with NHL president John Ziegler to merge the franchise with the struggling Minnesota North Stars in 1978.
After more than a decade of financial and attendance issues in the Twin Cities, the Gunds were on the verge of moving the Stars to the Bay Area with the promise of a new arena, but Ziegler blocked the move -- instead granting the brothers the chance to sell the Stars and award them an expansion team.
That franchise became the San Jose Sharks, which entered the NHL for the 1991-92 season and played in the Cow Palace before moving to a new venue in San Jose in 1993.

I don't normally write reviews but I just tried this on tap at a Naples bar, having never heard of the brewery and a little more than skeptical, but the bartender seemed to know what he was talking about and fulfilled my request for a hoppy, juicy IPA. Coming in at 8.9% it has that chewy, hoppy mouthful accentuated my mango and citrus fruits dancing and merging so well on the tongue. The finish lingers and doesn't fall off like so many Imperial IPA's. Very well rounded, I don't get too much of a malt backbone but it doesn't over-do it on the bitterness either. I brought a group back the next night to try it but the keg had already kicked so get this one if you can, you won't be disappointed.

On tap at the House of Brews. Served in a snifter.
Appearance - Deep orange, almost copper. Medium white head. A few wisps.
Smell - Lots of caramel. Grapefruit hops. Pungent and a little dank. Smells very sweet.
Taste - Sweet orange and grapefruit. Deep caramel. Very sweet. Grapefruit pithy bitterness in the back.
Mouthfeel - Medium heavy. Too sweet for me.
Overall - Tasty hop flavors. It would be really good if it weren't so damn sweet.

4.3/5 rDev +2.4%
Straight pour from a 32oz twist-off "howler" filled earlier today at the brewery to a nucleated can-glass. Been refrigerated as soon as it got home a few hours ago, so these constitute more or less ideal conditions in every regard.
Appearance (4.25): The pour yields three very full fingers of a slightly yellowish, custard-colored head that dies down slowly, capping a clear, rich, honey/golden-colored body with a steady stream of bubbles rising to the top. The head shows much better than average retention, taking its sweet time to die down while leaving wide, fat, arcing legs of lace loosely connected to equally fat, sloppy, foamy collars.
Smell (4.5): A pungent mixture of dank resin, passionfruit liqueur, overripe pineapple, booze, and zested lemon peel sits atop and almost masks a slightly toasted, biscuity, rustic white bread malt aroma. There's booze in there, sure, but the boundary between it and the hops is well-blurred so it's all good by me.
Taste (4.25): It maintains a lot of the elements in the nose, but a smooth, juicy, tangerine fruitiness easily balances the weird harshness of the weedy, resinous component—though that is still sitting pretty, underpinning the whole affair and again blurring lines with the booze and toasted aspect of the malt body. (Doing so earns major points in my book.) There's a juicy red grapefruit push towards the back of the palate, but other than that it's mostly tangerine sweetness and resiny dankness going back and forth over a solid but low-profile malt base, which as in the nose is mostly pale and bready, a little toasted, and a little biscuity. Some booze, but again, it blends with the hops.
Mouthfeel (4.25): This has a full-side-of-medium-weight body and a viscous feel, facilitated by a smooth, modest, but lush carbonation that foams up gently and richly before washing out. And yet, the bitter underbelly of the beer still allows it to finish a bit on the dry side—way too easy to drink, the feel is great for a medium-full DIPA.
Overall (4.25): This is a really, really enjoyable DIPA with really no negative aspects that I can think of, at all. It's full, it's a little boozy and a little sweet, but it's all pulled together nicely to make a juicy, modestly dank, well-executed and way too easy to drink DIPA. Definitely recommended—I'd love to see it in cans!

Tried this one at the brewery today. Pours deep golden colored with a creamy white head. Aroma of massive tropical citrus fruits, vegetal and grassy hops. Really nice. Flavor follows with big bitter and raw grassy hoppiness. Lots of citrus here behind the bitter and the beautiful aromatics really lend a fresh and light character to this one. Medium bodied with medium is carbonation and very easy drinking. Hope this becomes a regular as it is one of their more well done brews.

I'm a long time lurker, but this issue has roused me from the shadows. I am freakin tired of people boosting the new rookie wage scale. We think it's gonna "Lock in young talent for peanuts." But I got news. It won't. The rookie wage scale isn't a terrible idea. It makes sense that teams should take less risk on unproven draftees and devote more cash towards proven veterans. And it will do that. But there will be collateral damage.
Whatever money we save on rookies, we will have to spend developing those same rookies. While this draft class looks like the others, future drafts will not be so rich and tasty. Instead of sticking in the NCAA to "develop" and move up a round or three, underclassmen today have more incentive to get drafted earlier, even it means dropping. Why? Because the faster they can shed the first 4 years, the faster they can start making free agent dollars. The average NFL career is only 3.4 years. With no rookie pay scale players could max out value early on, and hedge against early "retirement." But without that opportunity most players will try instead to maximize their longevity. By starting at 20-21 you erase 2 years of college hits, and 2 years of rookie pay.
Moreover, the BCS plantation system offers players no incentive to stick around. Players only stay today because underclassmen draft poorly. Teams want developed players who are "NFL ready." Kids who eked out another year of "poverty" (keeping their payoffs on the down low) could make 2, 5 even 10 million dollars more than if they stayed. But the first round money isn't there anymore. What incentive is there now for a solid 2 or 3 round pick junior/sophomore, to stay another year or two? Even if the 2 and 3 round money isn't great it's better than working for free on Masa's field. Why develop for free when the payday isn't there? Makes much more sense to get paid now, and put yourself in a better position for later.
So what's the long term impact to football? It's threefold.
1. The NFL draft will take on less and less importance in the future. Teams will no longer value picks like they used to, and we'll see more trades for proven commodities instead. Teams will instead focus on player development, building up a stable of solid players they can use to provide depth or trade.
2. The College game will suffer as upperclassmen leave earlier in order to build on their future value. The Potemkin "amateurism" that the NCAA claims will get even sillier. No doubt schools will start outright bribing kids to stay on, desperate to keep their talent pool and the ticket sales up.
3. Poor fundamentals in the NFL, as less developed players are pressured into bigger roles. We see this a lot today in the NBA, where top "one and done" types get starting roles that they're not totally ready for. They may have the raw talent and athletic skill, but they harbor serious deficits in other areas. This will also cut opportunities for UDFAs, since rough draft picks will take up more and more space on practice squads, specials, and other low depth chart situs.

Xbox Dashboard Update Demo
We check out the new features of the Xbox Dashboard Update, including Kinect functionality, Beacons, Cloud Saves, and the mobile companion app.
The new interface is sick but we need more vids lol I don't know how to input my cable provider or what's going to be shown on here "companion"
@pierrey22 yea personally I avoid trolling and try my best to remain neutral to the situation. Since I am a avid gamer and love most of the equipment I own. It just sucks today that we have too many close minded fanboys that cannot enjoy the full spectrum. But as far as the UI goes I do appreciate it being way better then the second version. But wish there was a option to turn off the excessive ads. Unless I just haven't found it yet or am overlooking something. I use my systems for gaming not multimedia uses. That is why I spent $970 on a high end PC I built. Hell it would be nice to have some simple switch buried in all the menus giving us the option to have a gaming oriented menu layout or all that social BS the younger generations are all caught up in.
when this update comes out?
Whats the difference (or should I say benefit) between cloud and just recovering your gamertag on another console?
I didn't really get to mess with it much but it is looking too compact and confusing. I do ,however, like the bing search bar....just as long as it works like I hope it does.
just got the update uk time-york city, dont like it
I not sure if i like it,i liked the older one more and theres been alot of problems with connecting to XBL and sighing in, do you have to update?
Guess what? ****you, i updated and then had to update again, and then again and then once all the updates are finished i get sighed out of XBL and i cant reconnect. Wtf kinda update is this im a paying customer ****you, wtf am i paying for? So you can update my dashboard so that then you can kick me out off XBL, guess what, shuub it up your *** and kinect as well. Have a nice day ****ers
@daub11 naw just turn the system on. at first i upgraded and it wouldnt let me sign in but i am now
so i can actually update my 360 saaweet.does it cost any thing to have an xbox 360 upgraded and if so then how much would it be?(would i have to take my 360 in just to have it upgraded.)
Looks kinda cool. I wonder if all my paid themes will still show in the background?? If this new UI can only be viewed this way with the metal background, that will be a bummer especially since I've paid for themes in the past....
"Xbox, go home" *whimper*
It seems like every 2 or 3 days, the Vita is getting a hunk of news that makes it far less desirable. Throw in the recent PS3 pack of the PSP God of Wars and it doesn't seem unreasonable to suspect that UC: Golden Abyss will eventually pop up on the PS3, as well. The list of reasons to get one is getting rapidly eclipsed by the list of reasons not to. I admit that I don't want or need a dedicated handheld (if I am sitting down that long, I am probably near my consoles), so take of that what you will.
Good news........... http://twitter.com/#!/majornelson/statuses/144103944405262337 It should be out this after noon in pacific standard time.
is it out yet? i just checked my xbox and there's no update or anything :|
at least i dont have to repeat my button pushes on the controller. haha. yay for cloud storage though. hopefully it functions like it should.
They keep saying its 'easier'. I wasnt aware the current one was difficult :/
Yeah, cause ALL of my friends have windows 7 phones. Lol, til it gets released to And and iP I don't see that being used as much as it could have
"Xbox show. Xbox, SHOW. There it is."
Microsoft are screwing themselves up, delaying it.. get it together
It's been delayed unfortunatly - http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57337486-75/xbox-360s-tv-update-faces-delay/
I haven't got it yet either. Maybe it's around 12:00 (pacific standard time).
Zune font lol.
I haven't got it yet, what time is this update? LONDON time?
It comes out. Dec 6th.... Today apparently
"as you can see its alot easier to navigate using kinect" "xbox social" *no response "XBOX SOcial" *2 Seconds later dasboard showed social VS Controller : *press right once **0.001 seconds later* showed social in conclusion, I loled
Cloud saving = FINALLY
When does this update come out?
kincet sucks why invest in it so much? cloud saving is very usefull at least and true it kind of blows away the theme o well thay ruined halo waypoint so what if thay kinda ruin the dashborad? prise ms anyway
Looks pretty good. But it kinda blocks out the back round themes again which is kinda annoying. But still i like it
i like that htc phone
They should have signed Tom Cruise up to demo it. He could do a future crimes type thing.
i know its a windows phone = windows app but i wish this was for the iphone it would give me another app/reason to avoid a boring conversation
at 5:47 ...popular now: Metal Gear Solid :D
looks real clean. just wish there weren't so many ads.
I'm all for innovation and trying new things, but MAN kinect just seems like such an unnecessary gimmick. It may save you a fraction of half a second, otherwise it just looks like you're gonna smack someone trying to move around.
do u have to have gold to have it cause i have free
I don't really like it.
do u have to have gold to have it,cause i have free
do u have to have kinect to use it
how do u update it and when does it come out
So cloud save is really the only cool/useful thing they added?
the new dashboard is awesome. i am one of the beta testers for it.
Nice but I really wish they'd allow us to customize the dashboard a little, like what we had with the previous blade/NXE dashboards.
Thats cool!!!!! cant wait for the update!
love how he's trying to show off the Kinect navigation, but when he picks up a controller everything works much better.
how would background transfer and can I use voice on Netflix
@DarthVeng_basic of course that won't happen, its all part of the advertising machine.
this seems very kinect based, but i don't have the kinect. i hope its still easy to navigate, but otherwise the new dashboard looks great.
Gratz MS! Critics look at Wii's UI. Yea same as lunch, at least we get a visual overhaul.

Austin Restaurant Week
Foodies, whet your appetites: Austin Restaurant Week begins this Sunday and promises to be a mouthwatering two weeks celebrating Austin's vibrant culinary scene!
2011 Eater Awards by Kaci Borowski
It is not surprising to anyone who has spent a fair amount of time in Austin that we are known for our good food and good times. A city chock-full of culinary innovation and creative establishments, we've set the pace for others to follow.
Eater.com, a website dedicated to all things food, has released the winners of their 2011 Eater Awards and Austin's fingerprints are all over the list. Nominees were chosen by local editors in 13 cities and were voted upon by readers. Austin was heavily represented in the national categories, as well as having awards for local eateries and establishments. The list of winners can be found after the jump. Congratulations to all!
Fall Restaurant Week
Fashion's Night Out may have kicked off Fashion Week yesterday, but there's another upcoming week of industry celebration that I can't wait for: Fall Restaurant Week. Between September 25-28 and October 2-5, some of the city's finest restaurants will be offering prix-fixe menus for lunch, brunch, and dinner at a fraction of the normal cost.
A Delicious Spring Bounty
Twice a year, La Condesa hosts the perfect way for Austinites to sample the talent from the city's top chefs with the Sustainable Food Center's "Autumn Harvest" and "Spring Bounty" Chef Series. "Spring Bounty" 2011 is just around the corner and will feature a multi-course tasting menu including fresh meats and produce from the Austin Farmers' Market, as well as local area farms and suppliers. The dinner will also include pairings from Austin's most innovative mixologists.
Uchi: The Cookbook — It's Here!
Tyson Cole has had his hands full in 2010... He opened a new restaurant, Uchiko, welcomed another daughter to his family, maintained the four-star quality of his first concept, Uchi, and secured space in Houston for a third sushi restaurant for later in 2011. And this week, he launched his first ever cookbook - Uchi: The Cookbook. Designed by Julie Savasky and DJ Stout of Pentagram design firm, photographed by myriad photographers including Jennifer Davik, Jen Helo, and Rebecca Fondren, and distributed by UT Press, the book is a beautiful anthology of the story of Uchi. (Full disclosure, I co-authored it with him, so I'm a little biased on how great the book turned out....)

They are that ex-girlfriend who still can put it together and show up at the other side of the bar and catch your eye. And then you give in, and not long after you feel foolish for it. Anyhow. Jimbo Fisher should have a nasty defense, led by a ferocious D-line. The O-line will be better with much-needed experience. Same for QB E.J. Manuel and a young group of receivers.

2012 College Football Do's And Don't's, The Premature Edition - SBNation.com
Do: Expect Florida State to improve from a cursed 2012. Every year someone's roster suffers an injury curse like something out of the Old Testament, and this year's smiting victim was the Florida State roster. The offensive line in particular suffered from injury, inexperience, and youth, and it showed as they sank to 77th in total offense. Don't ever watch their game against Florida. It is best forgotten, and buried so that sports archaeologists of the future can study it once the radiation and toxicity of the images themselves die down a little bit.
Don't: Put them in your top five just yet, unless you enjoy putting your hand in the same bear trap again, and again, and again, and then possibly again just for the hell of it. Jimbo Fisher has thus far followed the profile of a well-heeled but underachieving heir to the Bowden throne, losing three games in conference in each of his first two seasons. Florida State has to have one dominant turn through the conference before any national ambitions can come to fruition, and that is before you even look to their formidable out-of-conference games with West Virginia, USF, and traditional rival Florida. Their eventual landing spot in the polls is as much about schedule as it is anything else, and it starts with mastering the ACC before all else.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford will join the Pawtucket Red Sox later this week for a two-game rehab assignment before he returns to the majors. Crawford injured his hamstring during a game with the Milwaukee Brewers and has been sidelined ever since.
Crawford will play left field on Friday and Saturday for Pawtucket when they host the Durham Bulls at McCoy Stadium. As long as all goes well in those games, Crawford should return to the Boston lineup on Monday, July 18, when the Red Sox play the Orioles in Baltimore.
The Red Sox start the second half of the season in Crawford's old haunt down in Tropicana Field on Friday. Crawford had just one hit in 10 at-bats when he faced his former team in June.
Stick with this stream for rehab updates. For more on the Red Sox, check out SB Nation's Sox blog, Over the Monster, and SB Nation Boston.

Bloomberg Predictably Drops 'Unexpectedly' From Consumer Confidence Report
It looks like someone in the establishment business press might be getting a little touchy about the razzing they continually receive for delivering "unexpectedly" bad economic news.
As captured by Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit and corroborated in this Google News description, Bloomberg's 10:16 a.m. report on consumer sentiment told readers that "Consumer confidence unexpectedly fell in June to a seven-month low, indicating that slowing employment gains are weighing on Americans' outlooks."
At 11:31 a.m. -- to be clear, not influenced by Reynolds's post, which went up shortly after noon -- a sanitized version of the report by Alex Kowalski and Jillian Berman read as follows:
Consumer confidence dropped to a seven-month low in June as Americans grew concerned about the outlook for jobs and wages.
The Conference Board's sentiment index decreased to 58.5 from a revised 61.7 in May that was higher than previously estimated, figures from the New York-based private research group showed today.
Isn't it just great how the crew presided over by flaming liberal Al Hunt (link is to NewsBusters tag with previous posts) cleaned the up report up? Oh how they spiffed it up:
- The result of today's report is no longer unexpected; reporters "somehow" decided that describing it as such was no longer an important observation.
- The negatively (and correctly) framed "slowing employment gains" turned into a neutral "outlook for jobs and wages."
- A (correctly) negatively framed "weighing on" changed into a relatively neutral statement that Americans "grew concerned."
Though it's not possible to know without seeing the full early report, which I could not locate, it seems odd that Bloomberg waited until paragraphs 7 and 8 to give us the gory consumer confidence details:
Economists predicted a June reading of 61, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. Projections ranged from 55 to 66.7 in the survey of 69 economists. The index averaged 98 during the last economic expansion that ended in December 2007.
The group's measure of present conditions deceased to 37.6 from 39.3 in May. The measure of expectations for the next six months dropped to 72.4, the lowest since October, from 76.7.
True, the paragraphs that came between weren't exactly upbeat, but the figures just present are even more troubling. Why separate them from originally presented lead paragraphs?
One more thing: Maybe I shouldn't make note of this, but the description at a Bloomberg video discussing today's economic reports still has the dreaded "U" word.

If such-and-such item of economic news is reported as "unexpected" by Bloomberg or indeed anyone, they should be explaining what was expected, and based upon what "authority." Was that missing? And if so, was that expected or unexpected?
They are probably reluctant to admit that simply any untoward news is at variance with their Obama idol worship. At least that is what I expect.

The Patriots entered the postseason as Super Bowl favorites. The Jets showed them they were not. Read more at SB Nation New York and our team blogs, Gang Green Nation and Pats Pulpit.
Like us to subscribe
At one point during Sunday's loss to the New York Jets, the New England Patriots were down 21-11 early in the fourth quarter. Taking over on offense after the Jets had scored to make it a two-possession game, Tom Brady and the Patriots methodically (and rather slowly) marched down the field.
Beginning on their own 18, they ran 14 plays -- mostly runs -- in 7:40, and didn't show any urgency in a time when many thought they should (the previous drive, the Patriots found success running a hurry-up offense). Eventually, the drive stalled and then ended when Deion Branch couldn't come up with the catch on 4th-and-13. But after the game on Monday, Brady defended the play calling while crediting the Jets' defense.
"They had a lot of dime groupings out there, six defensive backs, so it's hard to think that we're going to go out there and throw the ball all day on that grouping. We said, 'We're going to take advantage of this and still try to get the ball downfield.' We did, but when we got down to the 15-yard line, we just sputtered.
"If we were down 15 points, it's a different story. But being down 10 points, we thought we could score a touchdown. Then with two timeouts and four minutes left, we had plenty of time to get down the field and hope we could kick a field goal to send it to overtime."
Based on the reaction of the fans in Gillette Stadium, I don't think they'll agree with Brady on this one.
Monday afternoon, Pat Chung confirmed what punter Zoltan Mesko originally told NESN earlier in the day: the botched fake punt in Sunday's loss that led to a New York Jets' touchdown was indeed Chung's call at the line.
Chung spoke to the media on Monday in a solemn Patriots' locker room and said, "Blame me."
"It's OK," Chung said when asked what the last 24 hours have been like for him. "I'll make the best of it I guess."
Regarding the bungled punt play, Chung put it all on himself. "Of course there are regrets, that's part of the game," Chung said. "That's part of the game. It's all on me. Not Bill [Belichick], not Scotty O [special teams coach Scott O'Brien], none of them, I take full responsibility."
Chung, a second year safety from Oregon who also serves as the up-man in the punt formation, said that he decided to call for the fake based on how the Jets were lined up.
"I just saw a look that we have, that's how it goes, you make the call," Chung said. "It didn't work out for us. So leave Bill alone. Leave Scotty O. alone. I'll take responsibility. Blame me."
He also refused to play the hypothetical game when asked if he could have reached the first down had he not fumbled the snap: "There's no 'if,' If I didn't catch it, that's part of the game. It's part of the game, some things happen, you have to bounce back from it. That's play's over now. That's my responsibility. It didn't work out for us."
"I take full responsibility... no one else."
Tom Brady was 29-of-45 in Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. He threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns, so hardly his worst game ever. But certainly not his best, either. After all, he was sacked a season-high five times. And he threw an interception -- his first interception since Oct. 17 (nearly three months without a pick).
But moreover, all game long, Brady just looked ... off. The 21 points the Patriots' offense put up was its lowest total since their Week 9 loss to the Cleveland Browns (and oddly enough, Rex Ryan's brother, Rob), when they managed just 14 points.
As Pats Pulpit says, "the Jets flat out dominated the Patriots on Sunday night." But how'd they do it? Pats Pulpit explains:
The Jets Defense Applied A Lot Of Pressure On Brady
It seemed all night that the Jets front seven were winning the battle against the Patriots offensive linemen. It seemed that all game long, that the right side of the Patriots offensive line was outplayed by Shaun Ellis and Sione Pouha on the Jets defensive front.
Ellis was arguably the Jets most valuable player on defense, as he beat Dan Connolly and Sebastian Vollmer on the inside on several occasions and accounted for two of New York's five sacks against Brady. Ellis was also able to take advantage of an injured Dan Koppen, who accounted for one of Ellis' to sacks. [...]
The Jets Safeties Successfully Eliminated Rob Gronkowski And Aaron Hernandez
Arguably Brady's favorite two targets, rookie tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez were virtually non-factors on Sunday night, as they combined for five receptions for 69 yards and no touchdowns.
Brady had been targeting Gronkowski a lot, especially in their last three games. Gronkowski combined for four touchdowns and New England's last four regular season. Hernandez, meanwhile was Brady favorite target when facing the Jets, as he combined for nine receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown against New York. Virtually both were a non-factor, which hurt the Patriots offense. [...]
The Jets Cornerbacks Came Up With Big Plays When It Mattered
The Patriots receivers were not necessarily shut out, they were just shut out on key third down an fourth down plays the forced them to give the ball back to the Jets.
On a critical fourth down conversion that Tom Brady and company had to make late in the fourth quarter, Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie was able to battle Deion Branch just enough for him to not see the ball. This conversion was critical to any possible New England comeback, as the turnover on downs led to the Jets getting the ball, and taking off about two minutes off the clock.
There were many turning points during Sunday's AFC Divisional Round game between the New York Jets and New England Patriots.
The dropped pass on 4th-and-13 late in the fourth quarter by Deion Branch was obviously a big moment. And so was the Patriots failed fake punt from their own 37-yard line -- the Jets stopped Pat Chung after he bobbled the snap and then scored a touchdown to go up 14-3 just before the half. Bill Belichick said, "We just made a bad mistake on the play," adding, "I'm not going into it."
But perhaps the biggest turning point was Santonio Holmes' touchdown. It wasn't just the timing, though that was important, too: The Patriots had scored and added a two-point conversion just before the end of the third quarter to draw closer to the Jets, 14-11. But in just 2:13, New York responded, moving the ball 75 yards on just five plays in a drive that ended in Holmes' catch (thanks in large part to a 58-yard completion to Jerricho Cotchery).
It wasn't just the immediate the response -- it was Holmes' amazing catch:
That TD put the Jets up 21-11, quieted the crowd and was a huge response when they needed it most.
The Jets have defeated the Patriots, bringing New England's season to a sudden and disappointing end.
While the Patriots managed to drive down the field and pick up a much needed field goal just after the 2 minute warning, the Jets recovered the ensuing onside kick, and found their way into the end zone to make a nearly insurmountable lead air-tight. A last-minute Patriots touchdown proved inconsequential when Eric Smith secured the onside kick.
The Patriots were never really able to get in synch against the Jets. Brady was missing receivers not just with bad throws, but in some cases never even picked up on them in the first place. And when the Patriots did find a combo that was actually working, they seemed all-too-ready to go back to what hadn't worked in the first place.
It will be a long, long offseason, lockout-or-no, with another embarrassing defeat the last game in the rear-view mirror.
With 13 minutes to go in the quarter, the Patriots went on the kind of lengthy drive they couldn't afford to come up empty on. They did just that.
Facing a 52-yard field goal on 4th-and-13, Bill Belichick decided to go for it. The pass was behind Deion Branch, who couldn't adjust, and had the ball deflect off of his fingertips with 5 minutes to go in the game.
It's hard to understand the clock management—Brady and co. were routinely using up the entirety of the play clock, and weren't aiming to get out of bounds. Now they'll need a miracle to stay alive.
Tom Brady and the Patriots finally responded with a touchdown in the last seconds of the third quarter, adding a successful two-point conversion to pull within a field goal of the New York Jets at 14-11.
New England finally looked like New England again. Brady connected with Rob Gronkowski over the middle for a big 37-yard gain to get into New York territory, and then hit Deion Branch for the first time tonight on 3rd-and-9. Branch spun away from a tackle, and hurled himself past the marker for the first.
Again finding Branch, Tom Brady set the Patriots up in the red zone, but a false start on first down threatened to take the wind out of New England's sails. BenJarvus Green-Ellis was having none of it, though, picking up 10 yards to set up a first down toss to Wes Welker (who was hit hard and helmet-to-helmet on the play--no flag) and finally the touchdown to Alge Crumpler.
Down five, Bill Belichick called for the two point try, and Sammy Morris was up to the task, jumping over the line and into the end zone to pull within three.
And then the Patriots gave it right back. It took just over two minutes of game time and only five plays for the Jets to go 75 yards down the field. Jerricho Cotchery took the ball for 58 yards when Mark Sanchez found a hole in the Patriots' defense, and Santonio Holmes made a fantastic catch, laying out and getting a knee and both feet down in bounds for the touchdown.
The Patriots find themselves back where they started, just with that much less time on the clock.
Rob Ninkovich laid a big hit on Mark Sanchez, and then didn't get up, clutching his knee in obvious pain. According to Ian Rapoport, trainers were performing ACL/MCL tests on the linebacker before he left the field.
The two sides have settled into something of a stalemate, with neither side able to mount any serious offense. Julian Edelman, in for the first time today, picked up a couple of nice 10+ yard gains, but other than that it's been a battle of field position.
None of this bodes well for New England, who need to score relatively fast with just under 20 minutes left in the game.
It's still 14-3, but time is running out on the Patriots' season.
It's been all downhill in the second quarter for New England.
The Patriots once again gave the Jets great field position when a punt fake went awry. Patrick Chung fumbled the trick snap, and was taken down well short of the first by a swarming Jets defense.
With just 40 yards to go, the Jets gave the ball to LaDainian Tomlinson for one big gain, then found Braylon Edwards, who shrugged off tackles from both Devin McCourty and Brandon Meriweather, striding into the end zone for the score.
The Patriots have played their worst first half of the season, picking up only three points en route to a 14-3 deficit. In general, everything seems to be out of synch. The offensive line is allowing a great deal of pressure to reach Brady, who is in turn throwing the ball into Rob Gronkowski's back. Even the play calling is suspect, with the Pats going for too much in the Red Zone and telegraphing pass plays when there's no need.
The Patriots will have the ball to start the second half.
The Patriots gave Mark Sanchez two things: good field position, and plenty of time. And Sanchez made them pay.
Punting from deep within their own territory after the third sack of the game on Tom Brady, the Patriots had only 50 yards at their backs when Mark Sanchez took the ball. While a false start and an incompletion set up a 3rd-and-6, the Patriots couldn't get any pressure when they needed it most. Sanchez scrambled a little, pointed downfield, and found Braylon Edwards all the way in the red zone. With Darius Butler coming up short on the coverage, it was eerily reminiscent of Week 2.
From there, it was just a matter of a quick pass to LaDainian Tomlinson out of the backfield to put the Jets up 7-3.
Tom Brady and the Patriots just gave up a quick 3-and-out, and the Jets will have the ball on their own 20.
The Patriots got the ball back deep in their own territory again, and drove right down the field again.
Wes Welker, back in the game, made a leaping reception to pick up an important first down before the Jets shot themselves in the foot with a facemask penalty.
Now in Jets territory, Brady found Alge Crumpler for a big gain, but the veteran tight end dropped a pass in the end zone on a 2nd-and-5 play just eight yards out, and Brady was sacked to force the field goal. Shayne Graham proved up to the task, and the Patriots took the early lead.
It had been months since Tom Brady threw his last interception. He chose a bad time to start again.
After forcing a punt from the Jets, the Patriots drove methodically down the field, getting some big plays from Danny Woodhead, Brandon Tate, and Rob Gronkowski. With the Pats on the edge of field goal range the Jets brought pressure on 2nd-and-10, and Brady lofted a horrible toss right into the hands of a waiting Jets defender.
While it seemed like New York was off to the races, Alge Crumpler managed to catch up and stop David Harris 15 yards short of the end zone. It's a good thing he did, as the Patriots blew p a pair of plays in the backfield, forcing the Jets to try for a short field goal.
Which Nick Folk shanked. It's still 0-0, and the Patriots have to be feeling pretty good about that right now.
Wes Welker's tongue-in-cheek interview, rife with foot references, has earned him a spot on the bench to start today's game against the Jets, as Bill Belichick will keep the receiver on the sidelines for joining in the back-and-forth with the Jets.
Hopefully this benching won't last too long. The Patriots need all-hands-on-deck for the Jets, and it's hard to imagine Bill will sacrifice even one drive for discipline's sake.
Just over a year ago, the Patriots put their season on the line against the Baltimore Ravens in the wild card round of the 2009 playoffs. The results? A 33-14 beatdown that was over before the second quarter even started.
This is not the same Patriots team that showed up in Foxboro that day. Its young defenders have one more year of experience under their belts, and have backup in rookies like Devin McCourty, Jermaine Cunningham, and Brandon Spikes. Its offense has returned to the old days where Tom Brady would spread the ball over the field, as he's found new targets in rookie tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez while welcoming back an old favorite in Deion Branch. Even the running game is much improved thanks to a pair of undrafted free agents who ousted first round disappointment Laurence Maroney.
Where last year's team wilted under pressure, failing to match up to strong opponents time and again, this year's squad triumphed in statement game after statement game, holding a 6-1 record against playoff teams.
That one loss? To the Jets in Week 2, and repaid by a 45-3 beatdown on national television in Week 13.
It's been a week filled with heated talk, mainly coming from New York. The Jets have given Bill Belichick plenty of bulletin board material, while his Patriots have been much more quiet, with Wes Welker's subtle press conference the sole break in form. Now they have to back up their quiet confidence on the field.
It's New York vs. New England, with the season on the line.
The Patriots and Jets have released their inactives for today's divisional playoff game.
New England Patriots

Series history: Jets have the slight series lead, 51-49, but the Patriots have the more recent success, winning 15 of their past 20 meetings, including six of the past nine games. The two teams have split their regular season series in the each of the last three years, however, including 2010: the Jets won in Week 2 at home while the Pats got revenge in their Week 13 matchup, 45-3.
Playoff history: This is the third meeting between the Jets and Patriots in the playoffs -- both New England wins. The Patriots downed the Jets in the Wild Card round in 1985, and then more recently trounced their AFC East rivals, 37-16, in the Wild Card round following the 2006 season.
Stay tuned to this StoryStream for in-game updates and for more visit SB Nation New York and our team blogs, Gang Green Nation and Pats Pulpit.
In Mark Sanchez's two visits to Gillette Stadium, he has proven that he's not able to beat the Patriots in Foxboro (0-2), where they have once again established themselves as an elite team after last year's wild-card round drubbing at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens. So if the Jets are going to beat the Patriots this weekend, they'll need to do it with a heavy dose of LaDanian Tomlinson and Shonn Greene.
The Jets have faired well running the ball against Bill Belichick's defenses since Rex Ryan took the helm - in their four games against each other since, New York has put up triple-digit running yards without much trouble.
The difference between the four games has (sort of unbelievably) been Sanchez. At home against the Pats, he's great. On the road, he's terrible. It has actually been that simple.
Now that the Jets - we imagine - are done running their mouths and we can actually focus on the game, Pats Pulpit has some insight as to how the defense might stop both Sanchez AND the ground game:
Projected Defensive Line-up:
ROLB: Eric Moore
DT: Gerard Warren
NT: Vince Wilfork
LOLB: Jermaine Cunningham
RLB: Jerod Mayo
LLB - Gary Guyton
RCB - Kyle Arrington
NCB - Pat Chung (to keep him closer to the box)
S - James Sanders (or Jarrad Page to watch Dustin Keller)
S - Brandon Meriweather
LCB - Devin McCourty
This would be the optimum front four in terms of generating pressure on Sanchez and stopping the run. This would also be the best chance for the Patriots to take away the Jets passing game. Don't be surprised if the Patriots stay in this formation for most of the game because this is their typical "sub-defense" that they use for 50% of their defensive snaps.
If it works, expect an end result similar to Week 13. If it doesn't, expect an end result similar to Week 2.
The trash talking and back-and-forth has reach amazingly ridiculous levels -- Wes Welker's foot press conference, the NY Post cover, etc. -- but thankfully we're now just two days away from the actual AFC Divisional Round Game between the New York Jets and the New England Patriots.
Which means it's time for some actual preview and discussion of the game itself, like the work being done over at Pats Pulpit, where they are wondering the X-factor on Sunday could be the Patriots' Julian Edelman. The wide receiver has had a limited role in 2010, with just seven receptions (down from 37 a season ago), along with 21 punt returns. But he may be the target of Tom Bady as the Pats try and create mismatches with the Jets linebackers.
First of all, Edelman will be a force as the Patriots' primary punt returner. But I think, if the Patriots use him in a variety of ways, he could be a weapon on offense. If the Patriots can motion Edelman out of bunch sets and into the backfield, he can create some big time mismatches on linebackers. Hell, the Patriots could even throw him a shovel pass, pitch, or let him carry the ball on a direct snap.
We saw the Patriots use Edelman in the backfield at times during training camp, and even a little bit early on in the season, before the emergence of Danny Woodhead. He's got his confidence up after a big time performance against the Dolphins and showed just how elusive he is with the ball in his hands. With both teams looking for a new wrinkle to catch the other team off guard, don't let Julian Edelman be a forgotten man.

When the New England Patriots host the New York Jets Sunday in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, they'll be doing so as nine-point favorites, according to Bodog.com. 5Dimes.com has the Pats giving eight points to their AFC East rivals.
The two teams met twice during the regular season, splitting the series. New York took the first game, in Week 2, rallying to win at home against New England, 28-14. In that game, Mark Sanchez out-dueled Tom Brady, going 21 for 30 with 220 yards and three touchdowns (Brady managed a pair of TDs but also had a couple interceptions).
In the Week 13 rematch the Patriots had their revenge, routing the Jets, 45-3, in a Monday night game. This time around it was Brady getting the best of Sanchez, completing 21 passes with four touchdowns and 326 yards; Sanchez has three picks in the loss.
The Patriots and Jets meet Sunday at 4:30 p.m. EST.
Being that it's the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs, it's safe to say that each and every player for both the New England Patriots and New York Jets will play this coming Sunday if they're anywhere near close to even just 75 percent. There's plenty of time to rest in the offseason. For now, it's win or go home, so count on anyone listed as probable or questionable to play if at all possible.
That said, let's check the official Wednesday injury reports for both the Pats and the loud-mouthed Jets as Sunday's showdown between the two AFC East rivals rapidly approaches.

I'm hard pressed remembering a Divisional Round Weekend featuring so many great games. This year's NFL playoffs got off to a fantastic start last weekend, and at least on paper, this coming weekend promises to be even better. There's an argument to be made that the Steelers and Ravens constitute the best rivalry in the NFL today, but there's no question in my mind that Sunday's showdown between the Patriots and Jets is the most intriguing match up of the weekend.
Let's continue the preview coverage leading up to the big game with some information on the two rivals' long-standing history, game notes, and final regular season stats for both squads.

For more Pats coverage and fan discussion, head on over to Pats Pulpit.
The AFC East champion New England Patriots host the New York Jets in the Divisional Round of the 2010 NFL Playoffs this Sunday, Jan. 16 at Gillette Stadium. It will be the third time the AFC East rivals will meet this season, but this game obviously has significantly more importance this time around, with the winner earning a spot in the AFC Championship Game.
The Jets advanced past the Wild Card round with a 17-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts last weekend (as the No. 1 seed in the AFC, the Patriots had a bye).
The two AFC East teams have already played twice during the 2010 regular season: the Jets handed the Patriots their first loss of the season in Week 2, while New England got their revenge with a 45-3 rout in Week 13.
Additionally, it will mark the third time New England and New York will meet in the playoffs: The Patriots won a first-round game 26-14 at Giants Stadium on Dec. 28, 1985 to begin their run to the 1985 AFC Championship. The Patriots 2006 team beat the Jets, 37-16, at Gillette Stadium in a first-round game on Jan. 7, 2007.
Unsurprisingly, with so much history between the two sides, the animosity and war of words has already begun, with Rex Ryan even criticizing Tom Brady, saying, "Peyton Manning would have been watching our game."
The Jets and Patriots play Sunday at 4:30 p.m. ET, on CBS. The winner will face the winner of the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship.

City charity to be boosted by am-dram show
11:20am Saturday 19th January 2013 in News
MEMBERS of Worcester Operatic and Dramatic Society's Youth Section (WODYS) will be raising money for city charity New Hope when they stage their 2013 production, Copacabana.
New Hope, in Wells Road, Ronkswood, supports 50 families from all over Worcestershire and as far afield as Stratford-upon-Avon.
As a result of their success, the charity now hopes to expand and open premises in Droitwich.
Their cause has been taken up by WODYS, as one of its members has a disabled brother and the family is being supported by New Hope.
WODYS uses its annual musical to raise money for a local charity, primarily for children, and so far has raised more than £21,000 for organisations including Acorns Children's Hospice and Fort Royal Community Primary School. The group was visited by founder Jean Wilson who explained that the emphasis of New Hope is to get children out and about into the local community and beyond to enjoy their leisure time, just as their non-disabled peer group do.
Last summer, they took children on a wide range of activities including a visit to Legoland, swimming, bowling and horse riding. They also have a multi-sensory room and the money raised by WODYS will probably go towards providing equipment for it.
Mrs Wilson said: "As you can imagine running New Hope is an expensive thing to do, mainly because so many of our children need one-to-one support. We have been lucky to receive lotto funding and Children in Need funding but this does not cover all costs. To make up the shortfall we carry out a lot of our own small fund-raising events. "So, when WODYS chose us as their charity for 2012 I was extremely grateful."
David Humphries, WODYS chairman and producer of Copacabana, said: "We are only too pleased to have New Hope as WODYS charity this year, more especially as we have one of our members' family involved with the organisation. It is so important to support them in the wonderful work that they do."
l Copacabana will run at Worcester's Swan Theatre from Tuesday, July 30, to Saturday, August 3.

LINCOLN (KPTM)- About a month
after entering the race for Nebraska Governor, State Senator Mike Flood has
withdrawn his name.
Flood said Thursday that he will stay in Norfolk to take care of his wife Mandi.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer this week.
"It has been a true joy to have traveled the State of Nebraska the last six months, and to serve as Speaker of the Unicameral the last six years," said Flood. "This is a great state, with a bright future. Nebraskans set an example for the rest of the country, we are hard-working, we don't spend more than we earn, we are good neighbors, and we take care of our families," said Flood. "Now it's time for me to take care of my family. This week my wife Mandi was diagnosed with breast cancer. I am going home to Norfolk to take care of her and our boys Brenden and Blake.
"I am deeply grateful for the opportunities I have had here in the legislature to move our state forward, and for the opportunity to get to know so many Nebraskans in communities across the state. I am hopeful for the future of our state but I am committed first and foremost to my wife and sons."
Nebraska will elect a new governor in 2014.
The only other person to officially announce his candidacy his Lieutenant Governor Rick Sheehy.
Governor Heineman can't seek reelection due to term limits.

There are lots of things to see in South West Mississippi. Take Claiborne County for instance. There's always the churches of Port Gibson; the Catholic Church with its cobalt blue windows and the Presbyterian Church with the hand pointing toward heaven.
And then the drawing card in the county is the Windsor Ruins, probably the grandest mansion in the Old South, now it is just 26 brooding columns.
Well, Al Kellogg and his wife Joann, from Saucier in Harrison County, had been touring the area and had just spent the night at Isabella, a B&B in Post Gibson.
And at breakfast one of the owners, Bobbie Pennix, told them of the friendly spirits they have living in the house and how they like to play tricks on guests, sometimes even after they leave.
Well, Al and Joann headed out to the ruins of Windsor and stopped to take snapshots of the Bayou Pierre Presbyterian Church at the Overlook on the way. And it was when they started back up that the strange music began to play in their car radio speakers.
"As we travel we often take a CD with us of a book," said Al Kellogg. "Well we got back in the car to continue out to the ruins, which was another seven or eight miles. I heard a noise behind me. I assumed it was a vehicle coming with a boom box."
"Well, the noise, which was some sort of music, began to get louder and louder and before long it overpowered the book we were listening to," added Kellog. "So reached over and punched the FM channel. The music continued. We looked at each other, and the hair on the back of my neck began to stand up. I said, 'I'm turning this thing off.' I reached over and hit the off button and the music continued."
"And my wife, she commented and I looked at her kinda funny. 'Isabella,' she said, 'You can't go with us. You'll lose your home!' And shortly after that the music faded out almost like it had faded in."
Bobbie Pennix of the Isabella B&B in Port Gibson isn't surprised.
"So they came back by to tell us about that but I wasn't surprised at all," said Pennix.
Well, so what do you think it was? Was it a ghost? Or just a mal-functioning car radio?
I don't know. But it makes a pretty good story.

One of the biggest challenges women face after radical breast cancer surgery is finding a prosthesis that fits and feels right. But new technology is helping in the fitting room.
The standard prosthesis is kind of weighty and fits inside a pocket in the bra. But this new prosthesis takes into account that a mastectomy leaves different contours of the chest wall for different women. The procedure to custom make this new prosthesis is non invasive. Instead, it uses a 3-D scanner for the design and magnets to hold it in place.
"I can scan your body with your bra and then again with your bra off, so I can capture your surgical site so each form is custom to the woman's chest wall to her specific surgery," said Kathleen Baker, of Contour Med.
"These are magnets imbedded into the form and using just EKG tabs, worn to the skin, the form will actually adhere right to the woman's chest wall," says Carol Schwebel, Store Owner.
Many women still like the traditional breast prosthetics. This is just a new option for those who want something more fitted against the skin, instead of just placed inside a bra. For more information on Contour Med (click here).

NEW ORLEANS -- Hubig's pie is as much a part of the Marigny as the music on Frenchmen Street.
The fire here is devastating for neighbors, who like the workers here hope the pie factory bounces back real soon.
People who live in the artsy neighborhood known as the Faubourg Marigny – a stone's throw from the French Quarter – woke up to sirens and chaos in the 2400 block of Dauphine Street.
To them, it's more than just a pie factory that went up in smoke.
"It's like a neighbor died, you know," said neighbor Ellis Chapel. "They're good people and I hope they can rebuild."
"I'm really sad to see that place go. It's been an institution for as long as I've lived in the neighborhood, which is almost 20 years," said neighbor Mark Kosiara. "It's just amazing."
Hubig's owner Andrew Ramsey says the pie factory may be down, but not out.
"We will be back. We are very resilient. We did it once after Katrina, we'll do it again."
Quick work by firefighters kept the flames from spreading to nearby homes.
The neighbor across the street from the now charred pie factory said they did an awesome job.
"It could have spread very quickly, oh definitely," Kosiara said. "The first thing I was worried about is do I evacuate, personally."
Some of the homes in the Marigny are just feet apart from each other.
The fire chief told us the concrete walls of the pie factory helped contain the flames inside the building.
"When Katrina took out the bake pies, everyday somebody would ask me about bringing back the lemon meringue, bringing back the sweet potato, so it's going to be a while before we really jump back into it, but I think that we will," said Hubig's employee Ty Green.

FXL bulb Osram Sylvania MR16 410w 82v GY5.3 Halogen Light Bulb
- Product Review (submitted on May 9, 2012):
- I live in a small town and had moved when I placed my order. To no fault of the shipping company my town kept sending the product to the wrong address. It was bounced back and forth in town between the wrong address for three weeks before it was finally forwarded to me correctly (and I sent back:)) BECAUSE when I figured out why it hadn't gotten to me by the forcasted date I called the company and spoke with them about it. They immediately sent me another shipment and I received it within three days or so. They were wonderful to work with and made it right ASAP! The bulbs worked perfectly and I was able to get back to my project that had been stalled for several weeks by then, and I was able to purchase them for less than half of what the retail price was at the local Staples. They wanted almost $40 per bulb and I was able to get both bulbs for my machine for less than $18 including shipping and handling! It is a great deal and they have great customer service also. I would recommend them to anyone!! Thanks guys:)!

It's Official: Everybody Thinks Josh Is A Microsoft Hater
Josh just reviewed the Nokia Lumia 900 for WP7 and judging by the comments and forum posts, everybody seems to think that Josh is hating on the platform
An opinion is an opinion. Josh does state his opinion on how WP7 is lagging and hasn't fixed some issues with its OS. He is right on some of those issues. Third party support is not as high as it should be and it's software requirements are looking outdated (Though I think they will be updated with its next software update).
There are some things I don't agree with such as scrolling problems and multitasking. I haven't run into those issues on my Windows Phone.
The problem is, no matter Josh's opinion on what Microsoft offers, people are now going to brand him a hater. It's going to be hard to change the mind of Microsoft fans that they're not dismissing Microsoft when you blatantly state that you think Microsoft is "poison". Bad choice of words but you still left a bad taste in people's mouths.
People who listen to the podcast can point out how Josh continually dismisses Microsoft. There was a time when he seemed un-informed about Microsoft's web services like Microsoft Office Web Apps when talking about Google services.
I don't think Josh "hates" Microsoft. I think it's more of a situation in that he doesn't really live in that Microsoft world so he can't understand it.
Nothing is wrong with Mac OS but I found it a bit confusing when switching from Windows to use it. It takes getting used to. I'm not a fan of how it operates and some of it's OS animations but I will never say it sucks. It just does thinks different. I think Josh has that problem.
I think Josh is stuck in the "Microsoft hater" hole and to climb out is not going to be easy. The Lumia 900 review doesn't help especially when other sites go to opposite of his review.
Microsoft fans don't trust Josh with anything Microsoft. Maybe one day they will.
TL;DR: Everybody thinks Josh is a Microsoft hater. He is not.H is views are different because he doesn't engage in Microsoft's world.
