That makes half of the Chiefs draft picks to sign. Per the Mothership (via JayKC in the FanShots):
The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Thursday that the club has signed RB Javarris Williams, the team's first of three seventh-round draft picks.
The three year deal is worth $1.25 million according to a league source and includes a signing bonus around $65,000.
Connerman did an excellent job covering Javarris Williams. He conducted a couple of interviews to gain some insight. Here they are:
- Interview with Mike Organ, sports writer from The Tennessean
- Interview with James Webster, Williams' college coach
I heard a rumor that this contract was nearly completed last week so the timing isn't surprising.
That makes four down with four to go.

Belle of the Ball What can I say about this dress other than its AMAZING! If you want to feel and look amazing this is your dress. I ordered it on a Wed got it Friday. I took it out the shipping bag and had to make no alterations and didn't even dry clean. It was easy and made me feel like I was floating on a cloud when walking. They way it just moves when you walk. The dress gives you confidence. Enjoy it! June 30, 2013
Elegant and Classy Although the shipping was an excruciatingly painful wait with all the mix-up I went through, I was able to get it in time and the dress totally made up for it. After ironing it out and making a few alterations around the waist, the dress is super flattering on your body. The silhouette makes you feel amazing. It is absolutely gorgeous. I wore this to senior formal and receive many, many compliments! June 23, 2013
pretty im a guy but ive been in for the dress fittings twice now to find me the most beautiful bridesmaid dress to make me feel feminine. When i wore this dress in the store it was one of the best feelings in my life this is a definent must have June 2, 2013
Could not have been happier This dress was the dress of my dreams! I wore it to prom with a sash also purchased at david's bridal. It's unique and feminine, and the color is so much richer in person (I had the coral-ish pink one). I am a true 16, and the dress fit like a glove. Some nice features are that it's very modest, and while form fitting, it's a trumpet dress you can ACTUALLY sit down in! I only wish that it could have been made slightly shorter because I am 5'5 and my date kept stepping on the hem, but it didn't hinder my enjoyment of the dress at all. I just need another occasion to wear it again! May 20, 2013

WikiTree ID
A WikiTree ID is a unique identifier for a profile on WikiTree, such as Franklin-1 or Washington-11.
Finding IDs
IDs appear:
- At the end of profile URLs such as http://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Franklin-1 where Franklin-1 is the WikiTree ID.
- In your Watchlist next to names.
- At the bottom of all profiles in the Merges & Matches section.
- Near the top of profile edit pages.
How IDs are Assigned
The ID for a Person Profile combines the person's Last Name at Birth with a number. The numbers are assigned in the order that people are added to WikiTree. For example, the first Franklin added to WikiTree was assigned the ID Franklin-1.
The ID for a Free-Space Profile — for the significant places, pets, events, homes, and other things in your history — is simply the prefix "Space:" and the title you've given the page. For example: Space:Fitchburg High School.

AS chairman of the Orange Business Awards committee Mark Monaghan officially launched the 2014 CGU Banjo Business Awards yesterday, he also unveiled several radical changes.
The 2014 awards will be revamped to coincide with the now annual Banjo Paterson Festival, the first of which was held in February this year to celebrate Paterson's 150th birthday.
The awards' ceremony gala dinner, normally held in November, will now become a steadfast fixture of the festival and as such, the 2014 gala dinner will be held on Friday, February 13, 2015.
"We're very excited about the changes that have been made," Mr Monaghan said.
"We are encouraging all local businesses to get involved this year, it should be a great year."
Chairman of the Banjo Paterson Festival Len Banks echoed Mr Monaghan's sentiments.
"We've got food and wine [festivals], and seeing as the business awards are named the Banjo awards, it's a good fit," he said.
The 2014 awards will also celebrate another milestone, 25 years of CGU as major sponsor for the event.
"It's a fantastic achievement," Mr Monaghan said.
"We would like to thank CGU for their support, especially Allan Train who as well as being a major sponsor is also a member of the awards committee."
Award nominations launch on Tuesday with forms in the paper, or businesses can nominate online through the Orange Business Chamber website. Nominations close on May 2.
"This year public voting will be invited in all categories," Mr Monaghan said.
"Businesses receiving the most votes will become finalists. Finalists will be required to complete a submission, then the submissions will be judged by two independent judges. The judges score the number of votes and the committee's choice will be complied together to determine the winners of each category."
This year further recognition will be given to the winning businesses of several categories, which become finalists for the NSW Business Chamber Regional Awards.
For more information about the award head to www.orangechamber.com.au.

Your agreement with the one person that understands it all is what an agreement is all about. The romance of your hearts. What makes the two of you happy and makes the day memorable. That auntie that wants to read a poem she wrote just for the two of you. A friend giving their all in a song, even both dads walking you down the aisle. Finding a way to blend it all together and making your ceremony as unique as you and the love you share with one another.
So with all that needed how to pick the person to bring it all together and make it official. The wedding officiant.
1. Make sure they are licensed and recognized by the local government. Sure you can obtain day of permit for a friend or family member. Just make sure that they have all the forms in and everything is legal. If not, your marriage may not be.
2. Get someone with some experience. Whether it is with having preformed a lot of ceremonies or have the knowledge of your needs. Check around and confirm they know what they are doing. Not the time to have someone practicing.
3. Have a meeting with the officiant if at all possible. At the very least make sure they are articulate and have knowledge of basic wedding principles. Many times a wedding officiant will need to know how your bridal party is to line up and who stands where. Even with a wedding planner who knows, your officiant should be knowledgeable in these matters.
4. Pricing fair and honest in their business practices. Consider the distance they need to drive, time of day, along with will they be needed at the rehearsal.
5. Willing to write out and preform a ceremony that meets your needs and makes yours special. If you are looking just to get through it and only concerned about their signature. Fine, just make sure you know what they are planning on doing.
6. Make sure you are sure that this is the one person no matter what; that you are going to want to spend the rest of your life with. When the engagement is fresh, wedding plans exciting and all the world is focused on you and your happiness. It is hard to imagine anything but a perfect future. When the two of you settle into the routine of married life, the knowledge of knowing them on an intimate daily moment to moment makes for the real deal of knowing what you are involved in. So…
7. Will that officiant or someone they can refer you to be available, should you need them.
Wishing you happily-ever-after! For it will be-when you realize it is more than an agreement. It is forever!]]>

First Day Films was started with one goal in mind: to tell our clients' stories as elegantly and unobtrusively as possible. Our films capture the events we cover precisely as they happen. Nothing artificial, nothing "cheesy."
We have all been to events where the video crew are the most noticeable people in the room. The bright lights, the uncomfortable interview requests. At First Day Films, we believe that distractions like these put you and your guests on the spot. So we do our best to avoid them entirely.
"I'm a storyteller, first and foremost, and I started First Day Films because I want to tell your story.
I am obsessed with details – both major and minor. I shoot constantly, looking for those little things that others might miss. I believe that volumes can be spoken with something as simple as a single glance.
I am a huge fan of the cinema, especially the films of Wes Anderson, Ingmar Bergman, and the French New Wave.
I love old soul music, pub trivia, and date night.
When I'm not shooting weddings, I enjoy making short films with my daughter Olivia, and convincing prospective clients that yes, you do want a videographer at your wedding."
- John Miller, Founder]]>

↵The video appears to be fairly recent: Tebow's shoulder is still in the sling from postseason shoulder surgery, the same sling he ripped off theatrically at a Gator basketball game last week. Also, it looks cold in Gainesville, which means it can only be January, because January is the only time it's not five thousand degrees and humid in Gainesville.

Cordele- Tae Kwon Do and kickboxing do a good job of keeping us fit, but another type of martial arts may be best when it comes to protecting yourself.
It's a tough class when Charlie Nutt takes you down. "Basically I'm teaching the most effective form of martial arts," Nutt said.
Starting with the basics of Jujitsu. "It's the most effective hand to hand combat around," he said.
Nutt is teaching a Jujitsu class at Impact Sports and Fitness in Cordele.
"It uses everything from knees to elbows to clinch. Everything that works."
It will work for anybody. "Anybody willing to come in here, get on the floor and get down with it. Once you understand the art of Jujitsu..."
Then you understand most of the moves take place on the floor. That's where fights end up.
"Whether street fight or competition," he said. Jujitsu is realistic and there's proof it works.
"Jujitsu is actual arts used in actual fighting competitions."
Charlie should know. "I've been competing mixed martial arts and kick boxing for the last two years."
Now he's lifting himself to the professional level, where there will be at least one main difference.
"I get paid," he said laughing. "I'm just ready to take them all on and see where I can go with it."
For now, he's here to take students to a tougher level of self-defense. Charlie Nutt teaches at Impact Sports and Fitness in Cordele.

Graduate student receives Fulbright grant to research film in Vietnam
Subscribe Unsubscribe
From a UNT News Service press release
Anthony Tran
Anthony Tran, a radio, television and film graduate student, has received a Fulbright grant for students to conduct research during the 2010-11 academic year on Vietnamese film in Hanoi.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright Program is the largest U.S. international exchange program, offering opportunities for students, scholars and professionals to go abroad for graduate study, advanced research, and teaching in universities or elementary and secondary schools. The program is one of the most prestigious awards programs worldwide, operating in over 155 countries. Forty Fulbright alumni have won Nobel Prizes.
Tran is earning his master's degree in radio, television and film with an emphasis on critical and cultural studies of television, film and media. He says he chose to do research in Vietnam — his parents' home country — with his Fulbright grant after realizing that most academic studies of Vietnam-related films have focused on American depictions of the Vietnam War. He also noticed that citizens of Vietnam were open to American culture, including film, when he visited his cousins in Ho Chi Minh City in 2004.
"With Hollywood films allowed in Vietnam after 1995 and gaining popularity with Vietnamese audiences, Vietnamese filmmakers were likely influenced in terms of style and narrative," Tran says. "I plan to do a survey of people of the types of movies they enjoy to determine an acceptance or dismissal of the 'Hollywood' style. My project will not only reveal how Vietnamese citizens perceive themselves and American citizens and culture, but also what stereotypes and conceptions in film lead them to these perspectives. Recognizing these aspects will lead to a deeper understanding between the two cultures."
Tran says the research will help him write his master's thesis. He entered the master's program in fall 2009 after receiving his bachelor's degree in history and film studies from Texas A&M University. While at UNT, Tran has worked as a teaching assistant and received the 2010 Graduate Student Academic Excellence Award in Radio/Television/Film.
He has also taught free English conversation and grammar courses through the Arlington Reads Program at Arlington's libraries, and provided free tutoring to Vietnamese immigrants. He plans to volunteer for English-as-a-Second-Language courses in Hanoi and hold weekly conversation circles with native Vietnamese speakers, in addition to improving his own reading and writing skills in Vietnamese at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
Tran will return to UNT after his year in Vietnam to complete his master's degree. He plans to earn a doctoral degree in film and media studies and become a college professor.

Step patterns are the easiest form of creating
Celtic art. Learning how they work gives you a deeper
understanding of how ancient crafters created
their designs. I've seen them applied on clay bowls,
engraved on silver bracelets, quilted, silk-screened,
carved on wood, illuminated in manuscripts, sculpted
in stone — and they look stunning in every form.
The word step, as used here, means a type of
2-dimensional pattern formed by joining dots on a
square grid with straight lines of 3 kinds: horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. As a rule, every dot on the
grid is covered by a line. Lines are drawn along a
series of squares, either diagonally or along their
vertical and horizontal sides, alternating to form
zigzag paths.
A 1-squared step (Figure A) is the building block
of the step pattern, but a pattern needs more than
1 cell. The 2-squared grid in Figure B holds 4 cells:
1 is a single square, while the other 3 form a step in
the shape of a shaded elbow.
With a 4-squared grid (Figure C), we meet the
first proper pattern. Think of this one as being
4 tiles together, 2 across and 2 down. Opposite
corners have the same tile, and tiles in adjacent
corners have their shading inverted. More patterns can be made by giving 1 or 2 of the tiles a
quarter or half turn, or by inverting the shaded and
unshaded cells on a tile. The dots at each corner
of the square grid aren't included in the remaining
figures, but the process in these more intricate
patterns remains the same.
Because Figure C is made of 2-squared tiles, it's
not a true, stand-alone 4-squared step pattern.
A true 4-squared pattern is a whole unit such as
those in Figure D. This pattern began with 2 elbows
filling opposite corners ( 1 shaded, 1 white) and
2 white squares in the other 2 corners. I erased
1 side of each white square and tied them with a
diagonal line. Note the symmetrical pattern that
Nine 2-squared tiles

By July 2006, all manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment sold in Europe must comply with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive of the European Union (EU) that mandates the reduction of six hazardous substances. The immediate repercussions of non-compliance include serious fines and damaged brand reputations.
"Companies that fail to comply with RoHS may face severe consequences," said Paul Chan, regional manager, RSCS, UL Asia Pacific. "Aside from the potential loss of sales resulting from non-compliant products, these companies may also face criminal and civil penalties. Perhaps even more significant is the potential impact on brand and corporate image for those companies found to be non-compliant."
UL's RSCS Program tests and monitors six substances targeted by the RoHS directive, including lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr+6), polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE). UL's RSCS Program helps companies self-declare compliance with the RoHS Directive.
The UL RSCS Program is designed to help companies from a number of industries impacted by RoHS, including appliances, components, consumer electronics, information technology equipment, telecommunications, plastics, and wire and cable.
Key elements of the UL RSCS program are:
Testing of Homogeneous Products - UL provides global testing of elements in the RoHS directive through a combination of UL facilities, UL qualified laboratories and UL qualified customer labs.
RCSC Database - UL offers companies a password-protected database to help them manage their restricted substances test data. The database is comprised of specific manufacturer-supplied parts numbers and the corresponding test data.
Surveillance of Global Supply Partners - UL's periodic testing of all products in the restricted substances database gives OEMs confidence in their ability to identify unauthorized substitutions.
In addition, UL provides surveillance audits of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and supplier quality management systems as a further quality check. RSCS gives suppliers an efficient way to self-declare compliance by testing samples with a respected third party and by providing the documentation to satisfy the requirements of multiple OEM customers. Suppliers participating in the UL RSCS Program are more attractive to OEMs by demonstrating their proactive commitment to manage compliance efforts.
"The EU RoHS Directive marks the first wave of the global trend towards regulating the use of restricted substances. OEMs and components suppliers are faced with many and more diverse compliance requirements. UL is well-positioned to assist them not only in understanding and meeting today's requirements but also in planning and building compliance in their processes for the future," added Paul.

The invention relates to a process for converting a multihydroxylated-aliphatic hydrocarbon or ester to a chlorohydrin, by contacting the multihydroxylated-aliphatic hydrocarbon or ester with hydrogen chloride at superatmospheric, atmospheric and subatmospheric pressure conditions for a sufficient time and at a sufficient temperature, preferably wherein such contracting step is carried out without substantial removal of water, to produce the desired chlorohydrin product; wherein the desired product or products can be made in high yield without substantial formation of undesired overchlorinated byproducts; said process carried out without a step undertaken to specifically remove volatile chlorinated hydrocarbon byproducts or chloroacetone, wherein the combined concentration of volatile chlorinated hydrocarbon byproducts and chloroacetone is <2000 ppm throughout any stage of the said process. Thus, glycerol 30.0 and glacial acetic acid 4.5 g was mixed with anhydroous hydrogen chloride gas in a 100 mL Parr reactor at pressure of 90 psig, and heated at 93ー for 90 min to give 65.9 g product comprising 1,3-dichloropropan-2-ol and its acetate ester 92.6 mol%, 2,3-dichloropropan-1-ol and its acetate ester 1.7 mol%. The invention also relates to a process for preparing an epoxide comprising the steps of: (a) contacting glycerin, an ester glycerin, or a mixture thereof with hydrogen chloride source at superatmospheric pressure to produce a chlorohydrin, said contacting step carried out without substantial removal of water; and (b) contacting the chlorohydrin formed in step (a) above with a base to form an epoxide; wherein the combined concentration of volatile chlorinated hydrocarbon byproducts and chloroacetone is less than 2000 ppm throughout any stage of the said process.

Chris Matthews Takes One On the Chin
"Chris, you won't give me a chance to answer the questions. Just because the president doesn't watch you on television, it doesn't mean he's not doing his job. You know, Franklin Roosevelt wasn't hired to listen to radio accounts of D-Day. You're hired to do the job, and the president can do his job without having to listen to Chris Matthews or Andrea Mitchell or Tim Russert, or any of the others. He is doing his job. Now I agree the military should have been brought in sooner, but that was primarily the fault of the local government not being more responsive, and then the president did the best he could. Could he have been there a few hours earlier? Perhaps. But nowhere near the criticism he's getting from you people."Ouch! Get Chris an icepack. The whole transcript is here.

The Mariners followed a statement win over Oakland by losing nine of their next ten games.
The Mariners then followed two crushing last at bat losses to Texas by taking two out of three against arguably the best team in baseball.
Baseball teams catch fire and baseball teams collapse, but we should probably stop pretending we can identify the catalytic events as they happen. Never has this been more evident than over the past two weeks.
What an awesome weekend.

Leftwich is big, slow, and has slow windup, similar to Simms. And he is tough, sure. But so is Simms.Schaub is going to cost a lot of money to sign. I doubt the Falcons can afford to franchise him, becuase of all the money problems they are about to face soon. Plus he is still a commodity with some question marks. Moslty related to long term production, IMO.
GARCIA IS TERRIBLE. What don't you people understand?First ask yourself this question.....What team's offensive line's stand out when mentioning them.....Lions, Browns, Bucs, EaglesYeah it seems like the Bucs line is similar in talent to the Lions and Browns. I know we are on the upswing with Joseph, Buenning, and Trueblood...but we aren't at the Eagles level in which the QB can eat a sandwich and then throw the ball.Garcia is doing great in Philly, but he has the time. He was sub par with the Lions and Browns and wouldnt be great with the Bucs.He is also 36 years old. I much rather have Jake Plummer, Daunte Culpepper, or Byron Leftwich. Even Brunell would be a better option in my opinion then Garcia. If the Bucs can succeed with Griese, they could succeed with the above QBs.I'm sorry I just think we would see more of the Garcia of DET/CLE then the Garcia of SF/PHI with us...
I am sure it has been mentioned, but what is Garcias contract status.
We just need to bring back Simms. He's the future here.
Rod likes him
Quote from: m~j~s on December 14, 2006, 11:26:28 AMRod likes himEverybody "likes" him. There's apparently disagreement, however, over whether he'll ever amount to anything as an NFL QB.
Quote from: JavaBuc on December 14, 2006, 08:49:11 AMWe just need to bring back Simms. He's the future here.I am sure Chris will take advantage of the vast sums of money available in FA this year. When you factor in his age he is definitely in the top two or three FA QBs, so he should get plenty of interest. I can see him going to the Lions, Rod likes him, he fits Martzâs system and he would have a pretty solid WR core to work with.
We just need to bring back Simms. He's the future here.

In the course of a discussion on Monday about the lack of touches David Wilson has been getting, someone posted a list of the carries given early in their careers to the other first round running backs taken in the last few years. The list included the following backs:
McFadden, Stewart, F. Jones, Mendenhall, C. Johnson, Moreno, D. Brown, Wells, Spiller, Matthews, Best, Ingram, Richardson and Martin.
The raw data showed Wilson has been given the least touches (by far) of any of those backs. Statistics, however, can be very slippery. I submit that the fact that other first round backs have been used more than Wilson is relatively meaningless in a vacuum. There are a number of factors that could explain why some, maybe most, of those backs got more opportunities early in their careers. Were the teams that drafted them good teams? In many of the cases listed, no. Not surprisingly, bad teams tend to throw their first round picks into action sooner. Those teams can afford to live with the usual rookie mistakes because they're not really contending, and it's important for their first rounders to get up to speed and contribute right away. Did the teams that drafted these backs have an established back who was any good? A good team who sees the new draftee as a significant improvement over a veteran may be willing to risk the rookie mistakes. I think most of those backs were not drafted into situations where the team was coming off a very successful season and was a serious super bowl contender and already had a quality back? Another factor to consider is, how many of those backs had hugely successful first years and became key performers for playoff teams? There's just a lot of factors to consider beyond the raw number of touches they were given to reach any meaningful conclusion.
I'm not trying to argue that Wilson should or shouldn't get touches. And I don't disagree that Coughlin is less willing than many of his peers to give young players a shot (although notice how much playing time JWill got last year and how much Hosley has gotten this year). But I do think there are a number of factors that make his decision understandable on a rational level rather than mere stubbornness.

We Are Family was born in 2004 with $15,000 in donations given by the multi-platinum punk band Good Charlotte and its ally, Positive Force DC, to a small knot of senior leaders and their friends at an inner-city Catholic parish, St. Aloysius. This unique intersection of young and old, urban and suburban, black and white, faith-based and secular, came together to address a critical gap in senior services in North Capitol Street, a low-income area directly adjacent to the US Capitol. This area, also known as "Northwest One," was facing threats from poverty, gangs, and violence as well as a simultaneous encroachment of upscale development. (In 2007, we added a second, similarly-challenged service area in the Columbia Heights/Park View neighborhood.)
We Are Family brings services, advocacy, and companionship directly into seniors' homes in these communities. We are proud of our ability to recruit, train, and coordinate community volunteers, doing immense work on slender resources. We provide free rides to stores, medical appointments, and community events, deliver free monthly grocery bags, as well as annual Thanksgiving baskets, holiday gifts, and personalized birthday cards. We also help seniors with Social Security, Medicare, or other benefits, providing referrals to legal or other community resources, and assist with organizing efforts to prevent displacement due to gentrification.
More broadly, we draw diverse communities together through volunteer opportunities, oral history events and publications, and book discussion groups, aiming to build lasting friendships across boundaries like race, class, age, religion, and sexual orientation. Grounded in grassroots senior leadership, and driven by our diverse corps of volunteers, We Are Family is creating a network of caring eyes and ears that enables seniors to age in place, living independently in their own homes. We Are Family is not simply a social service agency; it is a bold experiment in building caring, just, and inclusive community.
This vision is backed up by results. With support from many community partners, We Are Family (WAF) has expanded our work dramatically. We have gone from serving 50 seniors in 2004 to serving more than 500 seniors in 2010.
Last year, WAF delivered 5460 monthly grocery bags, provided more than 630 round-trip rides, conducted 394 outreach visits to seniors in their homes, and delivered 358 personalized birthday cards, 419 Thanksgiving baskets, and 304 holiday gifts. This was done with a staff of one full-time co-director, one part-time co-director, and a volunteer roster that now exceeds 1000, of which 100 are regular helpers.

Having paid close attention through the short off-season to all moves, here's how I see things shaking out in the Metro division.
1 - Pittsburgh: Unless Fleury has a total meltdown, the Pens will have the division title all but wrapped up by the Olympics.
2 - Washington: While everyone focuses on Ovie, the simple fact is that the Caps have the fewest question marks about their roster than the rest of the division.
3 - 5 - Rangers, Islanders, Jackets: Each team has strengths and weaknesses which balance agaainst the other two. Exactly where they finish will depend on luck, determination and how well they execute their team's playing style.
6 - Philly: Solid upfront, bad defense and Mase is always a question mark. Total meltdown coming.
7 - Carolina: In two or three years they could be challenging for the play-offs, but are not even close, right now.
8 - New Jersey: Past time to start a complete rebuild. Too old, too slow, but Schneider will steal them a few wins.

South Cameron Street in Harrisburg reopened early Monday morning, following a water main break over the weekend.
The break was first reported at around 10:30 Saturday night on the 1500-block of South Cameron Street. City Councilwoman Sandra Reid tweeted that 20 feet of pipe needed to be replaced as a result of the leak.
Residents of several blocks along South Cameron Street were without water, according to police. Service was restored to residents of South Harrisburg at around 11 a.m. Sunday. People living in the Hall Manor housing development, as well as those living in several sections of Allison Hill, told abc27 they also experienced disruptions.
In a tweet just before 12 a.m. on Sunday, Reid said a boil water advisory has been issued for the South Harrisburg section of the city -- that includes all homes on Paxton Street from the city line to 13th Street, 1100-1900 South Cameron Street and the housing projects. Public Works director Kevin Hagerich said Sunday that the approximately 3,000 residents affected should heed the advisory until further notice.
Jessica Zecher of The Red Cross reported nine residents from three homes have been placed in local hotels after being evacuated. The Red Cross has also gone door to door in the area handing out bottled water.
Reid tweeted certain homes along the 1600-block of South Cameron Street had four feet of water in their basement. PPL was on scene assessing whether power should be cut.
Dauphin County Control is asking residents not to call 911 to report water outages.
On Tuesday night, a break occurred on the 600 block of North Cameron Street, causing water to flood the pavement. In that case, city engineers traced the issue to an eight-inch pipe that froze during the evening rush.

The rumors turned out to be true. Microsoft will release a public beta this week of its next desktop operating system, Windows 7, hoping it will address the problems that have made Windows Vista perhaps the least popular OS in its history.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will launch the beta during his speech at the start of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Wednesday. It's Ballmer's first year giving the opening address, traditionally handled by former CEO Bill Gates. His blustery style is likely to contrast sharply with Gates' meek and thoughtful demeanor in years past.
[ See how Microsoft's newest OS measures up in InfoWorld's trials: "Test Center benchmarks: Windows 7 unmasked." | Discover the top-rated IT products as rated by the InfoWorld Test Center. ]
Ballmer will also announce several partnerships that could help widen the use of Microsoft's Windows Live online services and applications. They include a deal with Dell to preload Windows Live Essentials and Live Search on all its PCs for consumers and small businesses starting in February, said Craig Beilinson, director of marketing for Microsoft's entertainment and devices division. Another deal will see Verizon preinstall Live Search on all its cell phones in the United States later in the first half of this year.
Microsoft's CEO will also announce a new Netflix application for Windows Mobile, due later this month, that lets people order movies and update their queue from their phone, and a new version of the Windows Mobile browser.
One thing Ballmer will not do is unveil a Zune mobile phone, Beilinson said, as some rumors had suggested. Nor will he rebrand Live Search with a catchy new monicker -- "Kumo" -- to help it better compete with Google, as others had predicted.
But he probably will spend a lot of time showing Windows 7. The OS is now "feature complete," and a new beta will be available for the general public to try out on Friday. Microsoft will cap the beta after about the first 2.5 million downloads. Microsoft developers, including MSDN, TechNet, and TechBeta subscribers, will be able to download the beta Wednesday night, two days earlier than the general public, Beilinson said.
The minimum recommended hardware for the beta includes a 1GHz processor, 1GB of system memory, 16GB of available disk space, and support for DX9 graphics with 128MB of memory (to enable the Aero theme), Microsoft said. The recommendations may change for the final product, it said.
Microsoft isn't updating its official ship date for Windows 7, which is still early 2010, though some pundits expect it to ship in time for the busy back to school season later this year.
Among the new things in Windows 7 are an updated interface, including a redesigned task bar; tools to make home networking simpler; and a reworking of the User Account Control feature, which annoyed many Vista users with its constant prompts. It also aims to give better performance than Vista and supports a touchscreen interface, though few PCs are likely to use that feature at first.

Commenting on the Inspection Report on Polmont Young Offenders Institute published today, Scottish Liberal Democrat Justice spokesperson Alison McInnes MSP said:
"Brigadier Monro is right to highlight the great potential for HMYOI Polmont to make a real difference in transforming young offenders' futures.
"Education and constructive activity in prisons are crucial to help reduce reoffending. It's important that the Government and the Prison Service now act on all the report's recommendations as soon as possible so we can ensure that more young offenders leave prison with a better chance to turn their lives around."

Looking at the moves made so far in free agency, this is something I've came up with for how our offseason may turn out.
Free Agency
- Sign Flynn to play QB in a familiar system (WCO)
- Sign Laurent Robinson to be a deep threat for us and a go-to guy in the red zone (11 TDs)
- Sign Richard Marshall to play nickel (17 INT in 6 seasons)
- Sign Eric Winston to play RT; Murtha will be backup OT and battle Jerry for RG.
- Sign OJ Atogwe to a 1 year deal cheap, non-guaranteed, fully incentive contract. If he can stay healthy, I'm confident he could do well under Coyle.
- Resign Steve Slaton to be insurance for Bush.
Trade down in the first, no really good value at 8, pick up 2nd round pick.
1. Nick Perry, OLB/DE. Had a strong senior season to go along with his great combine. Fits Ireland size mold also.
2a.Coby Fleener, TE. After NY Giants pick up Martellus Bennett, I see Fleener falling to #10 in the second round to us. Green Bay likes their TEs, having 5 TEs on the roster last season. Expect something similiar here. Fleener is a go-to guy for Flynn.
2b. Mohamed Sanu, WR. This guy is a very productive player in college and is very quick and runs good routes (Hello, WCO?) Had 115 receptions for 1200 yds last season. I was going to put Streeter here but he's raw on short-intermediate routes, which I'm pretty sure are key in a WCO. Not too sure, but I have Sanu for the underneath and Robinson for the deep threat.
3a.Mike Martin, DE/DT. Martin had a great senior bowl and good combine to boost up his stock. With Langford potentially gone, we pick up Martin, who can play 3-4 DE and 4-3 DT.
3b. Josh Chapman, NT. Two down run stuffing nose tackle that was a key part of the 2011 Alabama defense. Due to knee surgery, he'll fall to this pick and will be a good run stopper.
4. OL. I'm not sure which one, but if someone falls on draft day I see RT/OG the pick here.
This was just something quick I threw together, so sorry for not having long, detailed descriptions. Tell me in the comments whether you agree/disagree that the offseason may turn out like this and discuss below!

A month after R&B singer Frank Ocean revealed his bisexuality, a new website aimed at lashing out at the Odd Future affiliate has launched.
The site, titled Hate Tweets To Frank Ocean, archives negative remarks directed at him.
Ever since Frank Ocean announced that he was bisexual on July 4 leading up to the release of his new album Channel Orange, he has gotten a lot of positive support. Still, there are those people out there who can't help but project hate towards him. A new website titled Hate Tweets To Frank Ocean aggregates homophobic tweets that continue to be sent to him. The site archives the tweets, and allows readers to respond directly to those sending awful messages to Frank. (Complex)
All posted comments reportedly also expose the users' Twitter names.
Well in the wake of Frank Ocean coming out there's been a whole lotta hype about what it means to be gay in hip hop over the past couple of weeks. While a lot of the discourse going around is intelligent, well thought out debate about the state of the industry, unfortunately there's also been the rantings of the homophobic peanut gallery. Hate Tweets to Frank Ocean is a web service that aggregates gems that are aimed at Ocean along the lines of the following; @EpicThoughts "D*mn frank ocean Ah f*g too... THIS Sh*t Gotta STOP" @LomaxKidd "Gotta get this queer a** n*gga Frank Ocean out of my music library" @3Legged_Monsta "F*g f*g f*g lmao JK but frank ocean is a d*ck in the booty a** f*ggot" The site archives all the hate tweets (presumably in case any of these guys try and run for President) and gives visitors a platform to respond to them directly. (Acclaim Mag)
Last week, Ocean's former music rival Chris Brown denied making anti-gay remarks toward him.
"My Opinion on the whole Frank Ocean subject is ......... Love who u wanna love. It's ur decision. People stop searching for BS.," he tweeted Monday (July 30).
"Everyone is so quick to point the wrong fingers at each other! Ask urself... Am I Doing everything I can to help the world ????"
"The world is so bent on social acceptance that we've forgotten what makes us special... Our individuality! #Imdone #readabookb*tch" (Chris Brown's Twitter)
In late July, the singer came clean on his motivation behind releasing an open letter on Independence Day.
He said that his open letter was written in December 2011 with a view to include it in the album sleeve notes in order to pre-empt speculation that might arise from some of its songs addressing men. "I knew that I was writing in a way that people would ask questions," he said. "I knew that my star was rising, and I knew that if I waited I would always have somebody that I respected be able to encourage me to wait longer, to not say it till who knows when." The Odd Future member also downplayed the risk in his coming out. "People are just afraid of things too much ... Sure, evil exists, extremism exists. Somebody could commit a hate crime and hurt me. But they could do the same just because I'm black. They could do the same just because I'm American." (Guardian)

Oregon charter school founders accused of $20M fraud
According to The Oregonian, Tim King and Norm Donohoe, who ran a chain of taxpayer-funded charter schools across small-town Oregon from their headquarters in Clackamas, have scammed the state out of $17 million and must repay that plus $2.7 million more, the state said in a recent court filing. The legal claim, brought by the Oregon Department of Justice in Marion County Circuit Court, accuses the pair of racketeering, money laundering and other fraud from 2007 to 2010.
King and Donohoe, who were the director and president, respectively, of a nonprofit they named EdChoices, submitted false, incomplete, and misleading records about how many students were enrolled in the schools and how they were spending the state's money, state prosecutors say in the complaint.
"It's not true," Donohoe said when reached recently. He said EdChoices' attorney would need to speak for him but was not available after hours. King could not be reached for comment.
The pair opened and operated at least 10 charter schools that went by various and changing names, including Baker Web Academy, Estacada Early College and Sheridan AllPrep Academy. Most were launched under the name AllPrep. They existed under agreements with the school boards in Estacada, Sisters, Baker City, Sheridan, Burns and Marcola, but enrolled students from across the state in their online programs.
The state provided startup grants of up to $450,000 per charter school. The State Department of Education also paid about $6,000 a year for each student enrolled, relying on the charter school operators to document the number. The state now says those records were "erroneous, false and misleading."
King was the front man for AllPrep when the schools' unraveling finances prompted state regulators in the education and justice departments to begin asking questions in spring 2010. He quickly stepped down. Donohoe said Friday that he does not know how to reach him.
Some of the schools abruptly closed during the school year, leaving students and teachers in a lurch. Others have since stopped operating. Still others operate under new auspices.
The state is demanding that King and Donohoe repay all the money their schools received in grants and per-student funding, on the grounds it all was obtained under racketeering and false claims, even though the schools did legitimately educate some students. That adds up to $17 million. In addition, the claim demands $2.7 million in damages for breach of contract plus attorney fees and the costs of investigation and litigation.
Source: The Oregonian, 1/4/13, By Betsy Hammond
[Editor's Note: In its complaint in Oregon v. King, Donohoe, and EDChoices filed on January 3, 2013, the State of Oregon alleges violations of the Oregon Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act, the Oregon False Claims Act, along with claims of breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing, and unjust enrichment. ]

London, September 8, 2005 (Associated Mess)
Buckingham Palace today confirmed that a commemorative coin will be struck by the Royal Mint next Thursday on the occasion of the 21st birthday of the Pretender to the Throne's alleged younger son 'Prince Harry'.
The new 3p coin - dubbed "The Adolf" in recognition of the young man's grandmother's bloodlines - will bear the family's traditional swastika emblem on one side and his own personally-stylised coat of arms on the reverse featuring a V-sign and an astrological map of the official birth of the Third Reich.
Up to 100 million of these special-edition currency tokens are expected to flood the market in expectation of the wild enthusiasm of the British
public to purchase these unique mementos of the House of Windsor.
The idea is the brainwave of 'Prince William', the Pretender's elder son who is starting his City work experience internship at the Isle of Dogs branch of the Riggs Bank early next week.
Sponsored by a Pinochet scholarship from the George W Bush University of Crawford, Wills has been designated a desk in the bank's prestigeous
money laundering division and will be supervised by a former Brinks Matt Professor of Bullion Movements from the Blair/Robert Maxwell Institute of MacroEconomics.
A spokesman for the Royal Mint confirmed today that the new coin was a response to the nation's overwhelming hunger for more House of Windsor memorabilia, which currently may be in danger of running dangerously low following a summer lull in the royal humbuggery department.
Meanwhile Harry's grandfather Lord Levy issued a statement saying that the birthday coin would amply reflect the young man's bloodlines and would hit the jackpot as a definitive collectors' item in generations to come.
Further commemorative coinage is also expected later in the year to reflect the impact of Hitler's DNA on the Royal Family, especially the more senior members who may have missed out on unique opportunities to capitalise on the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II this year.
A Princess Michael of Kent 20 Reichsmark bank note is under consideration as a novelty Xmas issue to be given away to needy children in third world countries.

According to Ford, the Sixers are requesting that teams that want the #2 pick take Brand.
I'd do a Jefferson/No. 16 or 23 pick for No. 2 and Dalembert in a heartbeat. But for Brand? Nope. Don't need that headache or redundancy. Is my dream of Jefferson/pick for No. 2/Dalembert completely unrealistic? Makes sense to me.

If you're an adult who is anxiously awaiting the day when you can introduce a young friend to the joys of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams, Philip Reeve has provided you with the perfect stepping stone in Starcross: A Stirring Adventure of Spies, Time Travel and Curious Hats.
Starcross is a continuation of the Mumby family's adventures introduced in the well-received Larklight. Reeve's blend of 19th-century travelogue, spy caper and science fiction keeps the reader bubbling with mirth when not pleasantly horrified by the evil machinations of villains. These include, but are not limited to, a rogue whose alias is clever Cockney rhyming slang for hat, a French spy masquerading as an invalid and legions of thought-sucking parasites from the future that disguise themselves as top hats.
Art Mumby, along with his mother and sister, are invited to the asteroid belt's only seaside resort by the seemingly benevolent innkeeper, Mr. Titfer, only to discover that sudden daily appearance of the sea is the result of regular time travel to the Mars of 100,000 years ago. Mr. Titfer's sinister purpose in inviting the Mumby family for a visit is revealed when it turns out he has acquired equipment that only Mrs. Mumby can fix. Art's sister Muriel, meanwhile, finds herself stranded on ancient Mars with a wounded British secret agent and an insane but persistent French spy.
Art is an especially engaging narrator, with his readiness for adventure and his wariness at being used yet again as a bargaining chip to persuade his mother into some nefarious deed. When the narrative shifts to Muriel marooned on Mars, her put-upon air lasts just long enough to make the readers sympathetic to Art and his attitude to his sister's devotion to decorum.
It would be difficult for any reader to reach the triumphant end of Starcross without even one "Huzzah!" at the wit, ingenuity and delicious fun to be found in its pages. Of course, the cheer will be quickly followed by a plea of "Encore!"

Art and Myrtle (Larklight) discover that Britain is being invaded by futuristic shapeshifters. The siblings reunite with pirate-turned-British-agent Jack Havock and are off to save the galaxy. Art and Myrtle are delightfully bombastic and vehemently British. The depths of dramatic tension work as counterpoint to the outlandish comedy, heightening humor and peril. Wyatt's meticulously detailed illustrations fill in any gaps. Copyright 2008 Horn Book Guide Reviews.
Horn Book Magazine Reviews 2008 #1
Enterprising young Briton-in-space Art Mumby and his sister Myrtle make their triumphant return in this sequel to Larklight (rev. 11/06). While vacationing at Starcross, a supposed "premiere resort hotel" that just happens to be situated amidst a temporal disturbance, they discover that Britain is being quietly invaded by top hat-disguised shapeshifters from the future whose diet (brain waves) affords them hypnotic powers. Art and Myrtle, felicitously reunited with pirate-turned-British-agent Jack Havock, are off to save the galaxy once again, and it's no tea party: there are mad scientists, prehistoric carnivores, even (mon dieu!) the French. Though less pointed than its predecessor, Starcross continues to lampoon Victorian-era ideals by faithfully transposing them to outer space. Myrtle expands her definition of proper ladylike pursuits while Art takes a stab at leadership; as narrators, both are delightfully bombastic and vehemently British. Where words fail, Wyatt's meticulously detailed spot and facing-page illustrations fill in the gaps, contributing to (and often interacting with) the playfully period text. The depths of dramatic tension work as counterpoint to the outlandish comedy, heightening both humor and peril in a well-crafted sequel that once again defies classification.

Kirkus Reviews 2007 October #1
"[T]he British Empire," declares Mrs. Emily Mumby, ancient superhuman creator of the Solar System and Art and Myrtle's mum, "stands on the brink of an invasion by highly intelligent hats from the future!" When the Mumbys travel to Starcross, a time-traveling seaside resort in the asteroid belt, they find themselves caught in a web of schemes most sinister: The proprietor of the resort, a hatter, has lured them there to take control of their minds with his evil Top-Notch Toppers in order to seize Mrs. Mumby's technology. But the hats have hegemonic designs of their own. Meanwhile, Jack Havock, space-pirate-turned-British-spy (and the object of Myrtle's affections), is on Starcross investigating a suspected French agent, who is determined to find and resurrect the wreckage of the fabled American privateer Liberty and use it to topple the British Empire. Toss in a handful of knitting goblins, a super-intelligent plant, "the Cockney Nightingale" and a healthy helping of quintessentially Victorian pomposity and pride in Empire, and the result is a romp that lives up to the standard set by Larklight (2006), its wildly imaginative predecessor. Huzzah! (Fiction. 10-14) Copyright Kirkus 2007 Kirkus/BPI Communications. All rights reserved.
Publishers Weekly Reviews 2007 November #1
In this dashing and outrageous sequel to Larklight , plucky Art Mumby, his annoying and lovelorn sister Myrtle and their highly competent mother (who is simultaneously a traditional Victorian gentlewoman and a "four-and-a-half-thousand-million-year-old entity from another star") travel through space to Starcross, "the Asteroid Belt's Premier Resort Hotel." They have been promised a relaxing respite from ongoing repairs to their orbital home--the resort purports to offer "the most tactful auto-servants... healthful air & the best opportunities for sea bathing in the Solar System." Instead, however, they encounter murderous Punch and Judy shows, giant carnivorous sand crabs, time-traveling pieces of the planet Mars, and a nefarious plot by alien top hats to wrest control of space from the British Empire. ("Britons never, never, never shall be slaves, or the victims of man-eating hats," Art tells himself when he is attacked in his hotel room.) While hilariously spoofing 19th-century imperial and colonial attitudes, various excesses of Victorian propriety, and such literary forms as the spy thriller and the space opera, this rambunctious, fast-moving tale also manages to provide plenty of thrills and excitement. This installment should easily win new readers for Reeve. Ages 10-up. (Nov.)[Page 64]. Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
Gr 6-10-- In this eagerly awaited sequel to the acclaimed Larklight (Bloomsbury, 2006), Art and Myrtle once again save the universe. When their home that floats through space is being redecorated, the Mumsbys receive an invitation for a fantastic free holiday at a new resort in the Asteroid Belt near Mars. Their mother, who happens to be 4 thousand million years old, accompanies the children, expecting rest and relaxation. But nothing is as it seems at Starcross: the hotel slips back and forth through time; demonic puppets need dodging; guests are turned into trees; and top hats alter minds. Jack Havock, the notorious space pirate and object of Myrtle's affections, is there, in the employ of Her Majesty's Secret Service. With the help of Jack, his motley crew, and the Mumsbys, several attempts to invade the British Empire and attain universal domination are scuttled. Art narrates most of the story, turning things over to prim Myrtle, the absolute blight in his life, briefly. Tongue-in-cheek, hilarious, and wildly imaginative, this intergalactic adventure that knows no boundaries of time or space contains a message of acceptance of those who are different as well as social commentary on imperialism and on advertising. Wyatt's expressive and witty pen-and-ink drawings add to the whimsy and humor. As imaginative as Reeve's writing, they clarify the characters, settings, and situations. Starcross is every bit as amazing as its predecessor. Fans will be delighted to know that a third book is on the way, and that the series has been optioned for a movie. Imagine the special effects.--Connie Tyrrell Burns, Mahoney Middle School, South Portland, ME[Page 142]. Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.

Wondering what the weather will be like a few months down the road? The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued the three-month U.S. Spring Outlook Thursday indicating that the odds favor above-average temperatures across much of the continental United States, including drought-stricken areas of Texas, the Southwest and the Great Plains. Spring promises little precipitation for most of those areas, as well as Florida. Meanwhile, river flooding is likely to be worse than last year across the country, with the most significant flood potential in North Dakota.
The agency's U.S. Spring Outlook identifies the likelihood of spring floods and expectations for temperature, precipitation and drought. The outlook is based on a number of factors, including current conditions of snowpack, soil moisture, streamflow and Pacific Ocean temperatures as well as climate forecast models.
Flood Outlook:
After a year of reprieve, the Red River of the North between eastern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota, and the Souris River in North Dakota have the potential for moderate and major flooding.
The melting of late-season snow may cause minor to moderate flooding in the upper Mississippi River basin, including southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois and northern Missouri. The tributaries in the plains of the upper Missouri River basin, specifically along the Milk River in eastern Montana, the Big Sioux River in South Dakota and the Little Sioux River in Iowa may also see minor to moderate flooding. With significant frozen groundcover in these areas, spring flood risk is highly dependent on rainfall and the speed of the snowmelt.
Areas along the middle Mississippi, lower Missouri and Ohio River basins have already experienced minor flooding this year and the threat of minor flooding will continue through the spring. These basins include portions of Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, eastern Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. Minor flooding also is possible for the lower Mississippi River basin and in the Southeast, including portions of Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia.
Temperature and Precipitation Outlook:
Above-normal temperatures this spring are most likely across most of the continental U.S. and northern Alaska. Below-normal temperatures are favored for the Pacific Northwest and extreme northern Great Plains. For precipitation, odds favor wetter-than-normal conditions in the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions. Drier-than-normal conditions are most likely in much of the West, the Rockies, parts of the Southwest, much of Texas, along the Gulf Coast and Florida. Hawaii has an enhanced chance of being cooler and drier than normal.
Drought Outlook:
Fifty-one percent of the continental U.S.--primarily in the central and western regions--is in moderate to exceptional drought. Drought conditions are expected to persist, with new drought development, in California, the Southwest, the southern Rockies, Texas, and Florida. The outlook favors some improvement in the Midwest, the northern and central Great Plains, Georgia, the Carolinas, and northern Alaska.

Tired of hearing builders and contractors complain about permits?
So were the hard-working employees at Oregon's Department of Consumer and Business Services. So, when they were able to offer the nation's first statewide, electronic building permits system – it was love at first sight.
Through this central, standardized process, construction projects moved more quickly, saved money and accelerated overall growth.
Join Digital Communities and Former Oregon State CIO, Dugan Petty for a live teleconference as we discuss this shared-services model that added functionality, land management and licensing solutions to over 39 cities and counties.
We will be discussing how to:
- Streamline permitting and other civic functions like land, licensing and assets, through a statewide program to drive results.
- Easily buy and deploy additional civic solutions like planning and code enforcement to streamline processes across agency offices.
- Increase productivity, particularly for contractors and citizens, by making the permit application and tracking process easy and transparent.
- Leverage other powerful capabilities to automate workflow, cashiering, licensing, code enforcement, and planning.

BigLaw Firm's Innovative Buddy Program Helps Lawyers Stay Connected During Maternity Leave
Posted Nov 18, 2011 8:47 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A major law firm in Canada has developed an innovative buddy program to help women lawyers stay connected to their careers while they are on maternity leave.
Partner Tara Piurko of McCarthy Tétrault, for example, regularly met with her buddy attorney, along with her baby, for lunch, reports the Globe and Mail.
That, along with weekly phone calls, helped her to stay updated on what was happening at the firm's Toronto office and with her files.
"The way I saw the program, it's not about teaching me how to be a mommy and work," Piurko told the newspaper. "It's staying connected to my job, to the career that I put so much time and effort into."

UPDATE: A reminder that Steve's memorial is tomorrow. You can donate to his memorial Melanoma Research Fund online, and cash donations at the memorial will be matched up to $5,000 by Sounders FC.
Last week a Sounder supporter passed on the way to watch the team face Jaguares de Chiapas. Steve Sarina's early passing was from a case of melanoma. There are many ways that one could channel their anger or dispair for such an event, but for the Emerald City Supporters the chosen path is simple - celebrate Steve's life and raise money to kick cancer's ass.
This Saturday, March 10th, the ECS will be throwing a little party. Jeff Parke and a few other players will be there. Steve's family is driving up as well. The party starts at 3 PM and goes until it doesn't. Temple Billiards will be hosting the event.
The two most important things about the event are probably best told by quoting them from the ECS;
Steve would like to remind us all to have our moles checked/looked at. One doctor visit can save your life! So next time you go in for a physical or because of your cough bring it up!
UPDATE — Sounders FC will be matching any donations made on Saturday to the Melanoma Research Fund! Thanks to the club for the generosity!
The notice is late, but the cause is grand.

Driver 'hit tree' in A1 collision
Sergeant John Lumbard, from North Yorkshire Police said: "We were called just after six o'clock to a traffic accident on the A1. It's a serious accident. A car has left the road and gone into a tree.
"At the moment it's very early stages of the investigation. But we do believe the weather conditions have played a significant part in what's happened."

Martinez poking his jab at him early this round. Body left from Sergio. Left to the body again. And again. And again. Sergio is smoking him right now. I'm not saying this can't turn the other way on a big shot, but boy, school is in session.
That straight left to the body is there all day. Chavez Jr is doing nothing this round. He's getting totally dominated by a superior fighter. Chavez tries to throw to the body, shots are blocked. Chavez lands one, maybe, and Martinez lands one back, if not two. Sergio to the body again, now daring Chavez Jr to fight.
