Quality of students grows along with enrollment
Last fall's entering class continued to set new standards of quality, bringing with them grade point averages and standardized test scores that outpace their predecessors.
Freshmen Gene Donovan, undecided, and Bryan Ellis, an environmental sciences major, spend time studying at the University Union. The two are part of this year's freshmen class, which is setting a new standard for quality.
Freshmen Gene Donovan, undecided, and Bryan Ellis, an environmental sciences major, spend time studying at the University Union. The two are part of this year's freshmen class, which is setting a new standard for quality.
For the first time, entering freshmen had an average SAT of 1250, up sharply from last year's average of 1235. According to the College Board, only 15 percent of the students in the nation achieve a score of 1250 or above on their SAT.
The improvement is even more striking over five years when average test scores rose more than 40 points from 1208. Transfers maintained high quality with 80 percent bringing a GPA of 3.0 or better.
"The improvement is even more dramatic when you factor in the growth in enrollment during those five years," said Sandra Starke, vice provost for enrollment man-agement. "The number of freshmen and transfer students we enroll each year has grown by 400 students over the last five years."
The mid-range for SAT scores for Bing-hamton students also rose from 1110-1310 for 2003 to 1170-1340 for 2004.
While Binghamton has been successful in attracting stronger students, it is oper-ating in a very competitive environment, Starke said. "Surprisingly to most people, our stiffest competition comes from private schools. The private colleges make up about 65 percent of the competition and public flagships from other states make up an additional 17 percent of the competition."
Provost Mary Ann Swain, who oversees undergraduate and graduate admissions efforts, said that the Binghamton advantage in the competition has been the University's growing reputation.
"The quality of both academic programs and out-of-class experiences attract excellent students," Swain said. "Our attempts also to make our story known are paying off. More students hear about what we have to offer, look at us seriously and come."
A key factor in the growth has been transfer students. Last fall, the 768 transfer students made up one-third of all new admissions. Five years ago, they accounted for 28 percent of the incoming class. Keeping a healthy transfer popu-lation is important to the University and its mission, according to Swain.
"We are a public university committed to the notion that talented students of whatever economic means should have access to the quality that is a Binghamton education," she said. "For some students that means beginning at a community college and living at home. We also offer a broader range of programs than some four-year colleges. Students whose interests change should be able to follow those interests to Binghamton University."
Starke said transfer students require specialized support so that they can successfully make the academic transition, find housing and make friends.
"Many people have the misconception that all transfer students are older, more experienced and need less support," she said. "That is simply not the case. We are seeing many students who transfer in as second-semester freshmen or as sophomores. For many, it's the first time away from home and on their own."
A number of campus groups are focusing on the needs of transfer students, including a new Retention Task Force and the Orientation Team.

Part of this research tells us that President Lincoln may not have thought of the Black people as equals, and that the Emancipation Proclamation was more an economic and political action to end the war than it was about racial equality.

International Law
Taliban is, Increasingly, a Source of 'Justice' in Afghanistan
Posted Dec 16, 2008 2:55 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Although Afghanistan officially has government courts to settle civil disputes and rule on criminal matters, there is another option that citizens, in some cases, are pursuing in order to get swift--and, some say, fair--resolution of their claims.
Rather than pay a bribe to a government judge, they would rather have a Taliban judge apply Islamic law, reports National Public Radio. Its account is part of a series on the justice system and rule of law in Afghanistan, and continues tomorrow with a report on how Americans are training judges there to spot corruption.
It is widely recognized that the country's government courts are in disarray after years of warfare. Depending on whom you talk to, however, a Taliban judge is either a source of swift and certain justice or too much feared, because of his affiliation with the Islamist insurgent group, to be protested as an arbiter of disputes up to and including crimes that can result in the death penalty.
People seek Taliban justice because government courts are slow and corrupt, says an Asadabad taxi driver, Habib Noor.
But Nawab Momand, an Afghan television reporter, says he saw a frightening side of this so-called Islamic justice system when he and several friends were kidnapped in September and he was accused of working for an Indian construction company at a Taliban court held in a ruined house somewhere in the desert.
Although the chief judge recognized him, and released him (admonishing him that he needed to provide more favorable news coverage), he says others have been put to death by such Taliban courts for allegedly working with U.S. or NATO forces, the Afghan government or foreign contractors.

"This is the second year I have ordered Christmas cards from TINY PRINTS. I LOVED BOTH CARDS. I also got a lot of compliments on them. Excellent quality. Excellent service. Excellent Customer Service. I have also bought thank you cards and return address labels. Everything has been of the highest quality. I will not shop anywhere else! Thank you TINY PRINTS!"
"This is a very cute retro-looking card. Quality of paper and printing was excellent without upgrades. We used a photo that had been "antiqued" in iPhoto and it looked great. we also got the rounded corners which looked great with the design. the only thing I didn't like was the "faux-mildew" on the back side of the card- an attempt to make it look like a postcard saved for decades, but kind of made the back look dirty. Overall, highly recommended for your out-of-state relatives!"
"My family each did a piece of snowman art and then took pics of them to share on our card this year. The printing was excellent--my husband, who worked in printing for 15 years was very pleased with the quality! I loved this layout so we could include all of our art on the front and a pic of the kids on the back. Received sooner than expected too!"
"I have ALWAYS loved the quality and service that comes along with Tiny Prints. The ease of creating a card is second to none. The quality of the card stock is superb. The design of the card is awesome and I have had SEVERAL Compliments on the card. Thank you again Tiny Prints for making my wonderful photos even better with your quality!"
"I've used Tiny Prints the past 2 years and have gotten rave reviews on my Christmas cards each time. There is more individuality offered to make your card perfectly suited for you."

[Previous entry: "LETTERS ON GUEST EDITORIAL"] [Next entry: "LETTERS ON CRITICAL AREAS UPDATE"]
Dear Editor:
Does anyone else think it is strange that a candidate running for the Charter Review Commission is also suing the County?
George Johnson filed suit in Skagit County in January of this year and a trial date is set in 2012. The suit relates to issues surrounding his termination in 2010. One might also wonder why Mr. Johnson filed in Skagit County. Was he afraid it might reflect on his candidacy? Additionally, Mr. Johnson was on the original charter committee as a freeholder.
Our opportunity to review, improve and enhance the charter is of paramount importance to all of us. It is likely his involvement would compromise the work of the committee.
I highly recommend we elect new members to the commission, certainly not the old ones who may quite possibly have hidden agendas.

Dear Editor:
In four weeks, San Juan County voters will choose 21 Charter Review Commissioners to review the County's charter. They will take stock of the charter government that voters put in place in 2005 and assess its effectiveness. It will not be surprising if they find things that can be improved. Voters will be asked to approve suggested changes in 2012.
I think the future commission and the voters should consider:
Why aren't enough capable people running for office?
Why are important races going uncontested?
How can we possibly expect to resolve long-standing issues without enough qualified candidates to choose from on Election Day?
In 2005 the Freeholders asked the voters to approve, among other things, a change to non-partisan elections for County Council. We agreed, and this is where we threw the baby out with the bathwater.
Since adopting non-partisan elections, we have seen a decline in the number of candidates on the ballot, with critical elected offices going uncontested and fewer qualified candidates to choose from.
At first glance, taking "party politics" out of local elections seemed like a reasonable decision. What we didn't anticipate was that partisan elections had helped ensure healthy competition for these positions.
Partisan elections motivated the parties to identify, nominate and support candidates for local office. As a result, the voters had more choice and more information about the candidates' views. In addition, candidates had support in running their campaigns if they wanted it. In small communities, even modest campaign support can make all the difference to a smart and qualified candidate running for the first time
Another consideration is how party affiliation opens doors in Olympia. For better or worse, elected officials from small counties have far less leverage at the state and national level than their counterparts in large metropolitan counties. Our county representatives have not traditionally been career politicians with connections in Olympia. Eliminating party affiliation from County Council races only ensures that our representatives will have even less political clout and fewer opportunities to represent San Juan County.
When the State Constitution was ratified in 1887, it created rules for the commission form of county government. This system called for partisan elections for all but judicial elections. I am not proposing that San Juan County go back to that form of government, but I do believe that when it comes to electing our representatives, the Constitution was right. Partisan elections provide the voters with more information, more candidates, and more choice, which are all critical to good government.
I hope our Charter Review commission will consider a return to partisan elections when they convene early next year.

Dear Editor:
With regard to the discussion about the election of the Charter Review Committee members on November 8th, I would like to suggest that we not elect former freeholders to the committee. I worry that new members might be tempted to defer to the opinions of the original committee members. At the same time I worry that former freeholders might feel protective of the decisions that were made in the past.
The new committee will have the notes of discussions and interviews that took place during the Charter formation period. They could also interview any former freeholders, if they want to. But an all-new committee will bring fresh ideas based on the experience of the last 6 years and no baggage with them.

Dear Editor:
In my opinion, the voters of San Juan County have an excellent group of candidates to choose from in electing the 21 local residents who will serve for a year in reviewing our Charter.
Because there are so many of us running, however, there will be limited opportunities for voters to evaluate our qualifications and positions. For this reason, I am writing this statement and I invite others to do the same.
My brief views on assorted topics:
• The County Prosecuting Attorney has written that the CRC members have "no real limitation to their authority or on what they can do." A news report noted that the Charter can be fine-tuned, overhauled, or tossed out altogether. I am open to the first two but I oppose throwing the charter out.
• The old system was partisan; the charter specifies nonpartisan legislators (council members). I support the nonpartisan nature of the Home Rule Charter.
• We are fortunate that some of the Freeholders who developed the Charter are running for CRC. Their knowledge and experience will be helpful to the new group but I think everyone will need to be focused on the particulars of the new task. It will be important for the new CRC members to find their own way.
• To the extent possible, I think the Charter analysis should also include study of the original Freeholders' conclusions on what was deficient in the system we had in place until the Charter was adopted, and undertake some comparisons/contrasts that would lessen the possibility of repeating mistakes.
• I strongly support the following statement from the Charter: Section 1.30, titled "Construction."
The power of the County shall be liberally construed; it is intended that this Charter confer the greatest power of local self-government on the people of San Juan County consistent with the State Constitution.
I believe that the following simple framework would be helpful to the CRC members as an overall guide for exploring relevant issues:
1. Explore and define problems with the Charter. What's wrong with it? What isn't working?
2. Clearly identify areas of responsibility for the problems, e.g. Which challenges can be traced to structure (division of duties, composition of subcommittees, lack of transparency in the rules of procedure, confusion in Charter language, etc.) and which are more attributable to the "human element?" (Council member disagreements on issues, dissatisfaction with advice from Staff, "micromanaging," spending too much time on the part-time Council position, and so forth).
3. Significance: Work together to decide on which problems are critically important and which ones are relatively minor. Some issues are coming up regularly in published articles and letters: Do we have the right number of Council members with 6? Is the representation fair? Is the division of responsibility between Council and Administrator appropriate? Some concerns might be less significant. Voter understanding on the differences between an initiative, a mini-initiative, and a referendum might be weak but could be addressed with better education. The CRC members will need to organize their time well.
4. Persistence: Which problems are not going to go away unless they are fixed? Which ones might disappear, given time.
5. Cost: In dollar costs, what Charter elements are expensive and should be eliminated or adjusted? Have there been cost savings in some areas? What benefits might be coming with the costs? What human costs should be addressed?
6. Cure: When solutions to current problems are devised, what is the likelihood that they will actually work better than the old way? Will they introduce additional problems?
I appreciate your taking the time to read this and I hope you will consider voting for me. I have reviewed the charter and the various commentaries written at the time of adoption and later on.
I have also looked at agendas, minutes, and other documentation from the Freeholders. They did an incredible amount of work. I don't believe the Charter Review Commission will be faced with effort of that magnitude but it's going to be a big job and I am enthusiastic about the possibility of participating.
Janice Peterson
Candidate for Charter Review Commission
District 2 (San Juan Island)
Dear Editor:
An important topic is becoming a focus of discussion now. The charter review is on our horizon and deserves our attention and consideration.
In the county we moved to a new form of government and now is our opportunity to look at these decisions and evaluate them. Have our expectations been met? Could some of the decisions and current practices be improved?
I urge the voters to consider this time as their chance to again have input, fine tune the policies and make a few necessary improvements.
In November, we will vote to select the Charter Review Committee. I recommend voters closely examine the candidates to ensure a committee dedicated to honest and open discussion, which will lead to fresh assessment of the current policies.
Marion Melville
San Juan Island
Dear Editor:
To All Candidates for the San Juan County Charter Review Commission: I urge you not to give in to political blackmail from the Citizens' Alliance for Property Rights (CAPR), a special interest group headquartered in the Seattle area. Several if not all non-partisan candidates for the first Charter Review Commission to be elected in November recently received an email from CAPR which asked candidates to commit to support its partisan position on property rights in advance of the election in November. Specifically, CAPR asked candidates to pledge in advance of the election to "not use the power of my office to advance the regulation, loss of use, taking, or damage to any private property without just compensation to the owner having first been made." Candidates also received a not very veiled threat of a negative rating by CAPR if they do not sign the pledge and do not answer a follow-up questionnaire to CAPR's liking.
Please do not sign the pledge. Do not tie your hands before the first meeting of the new commission. While such a position on property rights may seem reasonable to some, it is overly broad, open to interpretation, and can have unforeseen adverse effects.
Even if you are sympathetic to the pledge, be aware that the electorate expects elected candidates for non-partisan public offices such as this to take office with an open mind and to not be beholden to any special interests such as CAPR.
Before deciding whom to vote for, I urge all voters to ask the candidates from your district for the Charter Review Commission if they have signed this pledge from a Seattle-area organization.
David Dehlendorf
San Juan Island
Dear Editor:
When the citizens of San Juan County voted in a Home Rule Charter in November 2005, we voted for the right to have a greater representation and involvement in our government. This November we have an important opportunity to cast our votes for a new Charter Review commission who will review the first five years and recommend any changes, WE THE VOTERS think is necessary and vital to the Home Rule Charter.
We need fresh eyes to be on this new Commission. We, as citizens, need to ask tough questions about the last five years of government and evaluate what is working and what is not working.
Is the six person County Council an effective form of leadership for our County's needs? Are the six County Council members performing their duties in a non-partisan way? Is the separation of powers between the County Council and the County Administrator an effective means of running the County government? Has the Home Rule Charter been "revenue neutral" as promised during the last campaign? Does the curent election by districts adequately serve the entire San Juan County? Do we have too many elected officials for a County this size? Do the citizens of our County understand the powers of initiative and referendum?
The voters of San Juan County have an important job this November. The ballot will contain measures and candidate choices that will impact our County well into the future. If voters are indifferent to this election, it will be ten more years before the Home Rule Charter can be examined again.
Please print thisl.
Thank you,

Dear Editor:
Recently, there have been complaints about the Charter and even a call to return to the old 3 member County Commissioner government ( Related column). I was one of the original Freeholders who helped hammer out the current charter and while it's far from perfect; it's better than what we had.
Here's what I think the new charter has done well:
1) Equal representation. All votes are about equal. Under the old system, the island with 1/6th of the population controlled 1/3rd of the Commission votes.
2) Local control. You vote for the council member in your district only. San Juan can't control Lopez's outcome.
3) Non-partisan. Looking at the national level, can anyone really believe that injecting party politics back into local issues would be a good idea?
4) Initiative and referendum. We now can, and have addressed issues at the voter level when we were not satisfied with outcomes. This shouldn't be over-used but it's good to have as a tool if the voters get ahead of their leaders on an issue.
Not everything has been perfect. Council members still micro-manage, they pander to the loudest group, they can't seem to get to a decision on tough issues. But these were all problems we had with the old Commissioner model too. Remember that the solid waste debacle has defied solution under both forms of government.
Some things were left undone when the Charter.was proposed too. We simply ran out of time and didn't address consolidation of other departments. Most importantly, we let the Council pay undefined and the salary commission set it far too high. Maybe if Council members received about half of what they now do they would be less inclined to meddle with operations decisions and let staff do their work. These are issues that the new Charter review group can consider but let's not go backwards to a form or government that not only didn't work ant better but was also inherently unfair in it's representation.
There is an election coming next year and we will have a chance to send a message if we feel that change is needed. Pay attention to the candidates and as the old knight advised Indiana Jones, "Choose wisely!"

(CNN) - Saturday marks 100 years since the chain of events began that started World War I.
The spark to the fuse for the global war happened here, in Sarajevo, June 28, 1914.
When Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot dead by a Serbian nationalist, while he was visiting the Bosnian capital.
The assassin has become a divisive figure over time.
But the event is being remembered, in Bosnia-Herzegovina and in other nations that were pulled into what was soon called "The Great War."

The Seven Summits, a well-known mountaineering objective, are the highest peaks on each of the seven continents. The Seven Summits, from highest to lowest, are:
- Asia: Mount Everest 29,035 feet (8850 meters)
- South America: Aconcagua 22,829 feet (6962 meters)
- North America: Denali AKA Mount McKinley 20,320 feet (6194 meters)
- Africa: Kilimanjaro 19,340 feet (5895 meters)
- Europe: Mount Elbrus 18,510 feet (5642 meters)
- Antarctica: Mount Vinson 16,067 feet (4897 meters)
Australia: Mount Kosciusko 7,310 feet (2228 meters)
- Australasia/Oceania: Carstensz Pyramid 16,023 feet (4884 meters)
A Tale of Two Lists
American Dick Bass, an amateur mountaineer, adventurer, and businessman, and Frank Wells came up with the idea of climbing the Seven Summits, with Bass becoming the first to reach the top of all the continents in 1985. This was not without controversy, however, since Bass selected gentle Mount Kosciuszko, an easy day hike in Victoria, as the summit of Australia.
Reinhold Messner's Summit List
The great European mountaineer Reinhold Messner then created his own Seven Summits list and included New Guinea's rugged Carstensz Pyramid, a remote, challenging limestone peak also called Puncack Jaya, as the high point of Australasia or Oceania rather than Mount Kosciuszko. In 1986 Canadian Pat Morrow, using the Messner list, was the first climber to ascend those seven peaks. Later he said, "Being a climber first and a collector second, I felt strongly that Carstensz Pyramid, the highest mountain in Australasia…was a true mountaineer's objective." Messner himself summitted all seven peaks on his list a few months later in December 1986.
Mount Elbrus or Mont Blanc?
Besides the controversy between the high point of Australia or Australasia, there is disagreement over what peak is the roof of Europe. Mount Elbrus lies in Europe by only a few miles if you use the normal dividing line between Europe and Asia whereas Mont Blanc, straddling the French, Italian, and Swiss borders, is clearly the highest summit in continental Europe. Nonetheless, most Seven Summit aficionados consider Elbrus as the top point and Mont Blanc as an also-ran.
Interesting Seven Summits Ascents
As of December, 2011, over 348 people have climbed the Seven Summits. The first woman to climb all the peaks was Japanese Juko Tabei, who finished in 1992. Rob Hall and Gary Ball impressively climbed the Seven Summits in seven months in 1990 using the Bass list. In 2006 Kit Deslauriers was the first to ski down all the peaks using the Bass list, while Swedes Olof Sunström and Martin Letzter skied the Seven Summits plus Carstensz Pyramid a few months later in 2007.
Seven Summits Controversy
All the hype about climbing the Seven Summits has led to lots of controversy. Many of the people that have completed their Seven Summits quest are inexperienced climbers who pay immense amounts of cash to outfitters and climbing guides to drag, cajole, and short-rope them up the difficult peaks like Mount Everest, Denali, and Mount Vinson. Critics argue that guides, like those on the disastrous 1996 Everest season, put client's lives in danger by pushing them toward summits in bad weather conditions. The amateur Seven Summit climbers, rather than garnering the necessary experience and skills that would allow them to climb these peaks as an expedition member rather than a guided client, shell out as much as $100,000 for the chance to reach the lofty summit of Mt. Everest, the world's highest point, and almost as much to climb Mount Vinson, the most remote of the Seven Summits.
Climbing the Seven Summits
Mount Everest is considered the most difficult and dangerous of the Seven Summits for climbers, while Australia's Mount Kosciuszko, if you're doing the "easy" list, is the easiest to climb, being just a short day hike. Otherwise, the big rounded volcano of Kilimanjaro, also a walk-up peak, is also relatively easy to climb, although the altitude usually defeats many of its suitors. It's usually the first peak of the Seven Summits that climbers tick off their list. Both Aconcagua and Mount Elbrus are also simple climbs that are ascended with basic mountaineering skills in good weather. Aconcagua, with a trail most of the way to its summit, is still a high mountain and proper acclimatization is essential for success. Carstensz Pyramid is technically the most difficult of the seven peaks to climb since it requires technical rock climbing skills. Denali and Mount Vinson present more serious challenges to would-be climbers. Denali is a huge mountain covered with glaciers and exposed to severe weather, while Vinson in Antarctica is remote, hard to reach, and expensive.
What Does It Cost?

Serves 4 Guyanese love a good curry. Since we're in the middle of intense summer, I've adapted a traditional curry recipe for the grill. Instead of stewing the chicken with the curried Green Seasoning, I simply marinated the chicken in it and threw it on the grill. An easy way to get the heat out of the kitchen, although you'll still feel it in your mouth. Big time. P.S. To eat this like you're in Guyana, serve with Chow Mein. Seriously. Ingredients: 4 chicken breasts, sliced into … [Read more...]

Recipe: Pepian Sauce (for Stewed Chicken or Veggies)
Makes 3 cups Is your blender lonely? Do you want to blast away from boredom? Try pepian, a thick mole-like sauce from Central America and beloved in Guatemala. With a quick whizz-whirr in the blender, this vegan sauce (a.k.a. recado) blends the smoky flavor of roasted, toasted seeds and other goodness with a half stick of cinnamon and dried chili peppers. If that sounds like a lot of different ingredients, don't worry, pepian is so balanced that even the pickiest eaters in your house won't … [Read more...]
Recipe: Spicy Chicken Peanut Soup (Groundnut Soup)
Serves 4 I can't begin to explain why or how this recipe works, but it does. Of the four adults who sampled the soup, every single person had thirds. Thirds. Epic. Groundnut soup is your passport to west Africa. In less than an hour, you'll be spooning a delicate blend of fresh ginger, garlic, tomato and groundnuts (a.k.a. peanut butter), with bites of browned chicken and bits of hot peppers. And you'll be mourning the time you lived without this soup. Special thanks to Ghana and … [Read more...]
Recipe: Georgian Chicken
Serves 2-4 I'll be honest. I don't have great luck with grilled chicken. Usually it's bland, overdone and, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm usually to blame. Naturally, I was delighted when I found this foolproof Georgian recipe in Laura Kelley's The Silk Road Gourmet: Volume One: Western and Southern Asia - it's a giant bright bite of lemony goodness. The crazy strong flavor comes from an extra long marination - 24 hours. If you'd rather a milder flavor, try just a few hours … [Read more...]

Serves 6 When it's cold outside, gather around a steaming bowl of Bakso Noodle Soup - you'll be refreshed by the bright flavors and warmed by the chili sauce. You can bring this soup to a potluck - just keep the tofu, green onions, and chili sauce in a separate dishes for diners to garnish their own bowls. While the soup is traditionally Indonesian, it is also sold by street vendors in East Timor, a country formerly part of Indonesia. Ingredients: 1 bok choy, rinsed and sliced 3 green … [Read more...]
Recipe: Chicken Bakso/Baso (Indonesian/Timorese Meatballs)

You'll be in good company - these mild and tender meatballs are beloved street food throughout Indonesia, East Timor and other nearby islands. You'll find them bobbing in soups, or thinly sliced and tossed in noodle and rice dishes. The meatballs can be made with beef, chicken, fish or shrimp. Oh, and super thanks to you who voted on our Facebook Fan Page - your votes … [Read more...]
Recipe: Dominican Stew Chicken (Pollo Guisado)
Serves 4 I don't know about you, but I tend to get in a rut with chicken. Growing up in Boston, my mom often just roasted a chicken with salt, pepper and olive oil, letting the natural juices and skin provide most of the flavor. This traditional Dominican recipe is a fun way to mix things up - the meat slowly absorbs the sofrito flavor, as well as hint of lemony freshness - the perfect match for chicken. Ingredients: 4 chicken thighs 4 chicken legs 1 cup sofrito (you could add 2 cups … [Read more...]

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A man acquitted in the shooting of a Tucson police officer has been sentenced to nearly 30 more years in prison for other crimes.
Richard Mendoza? was convicted last month on two counts of burglary and six counts of possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited possessor.
He was sentenced Thursday to 12 years for the weapons charges and 17¾ years for the burglary charges.
Mendoza already was sentenced to 11 years in prison for parole violations, which will be served consecutively to his new convictions.
A jury found Mendoza not guilty on two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon? in the November 2012 shooting of Tucson police Officer Robert Carpenter.
Carpenter survived and returned to work nearly a year later.

Compact Drywall Shaver. The original drywall rasp was a scrap of metal lath wrapped around a 2x4. Tajima's Combination Drywall Rasp looks like a major improvement. It has a sleek profile that should fit easily in a tool pouch, and chrome-plated teeth that cut in both directions, resist clogging, and stay sharp, says the maker. The cutting surface has separate rows of coarse and fine teeth — the coarse ones are recessed so that the rasp doesn't slip off the edge of the drywall. The list price is $16.

NASHVILLE (AP) - The electronic message boards over interstate highways in Tennessee are cautioning "Fans don't let fans drive drunk."
On Friday, state safety officials said the message is tied into Super Bowl weekend and is intended to tap into the football fan base with a safety message.
Tennessee Department of Safety Commissioner John Schroer said officials want everyone to be safe and has enlisted the Tennessee Titans to help spread the message. Nearly 10,000 Titans fans promised to be designated drivers for friends going to Super Bowl parties, making the Titans 1 of the top teams in the AFC for pledges.
Tennessee Highway Patrol Colonel Tracy Trott said this will be the first Super Bowl weekend under the "no refusal" statute. Police can get a court order to require a blood-alcohol test.

At the 2013 Association of American Law Schools Annual Meeting, Professor Eloisa C. Rodriguez-Dod was nominated chair-elect of the Executive Committee of the Section on Minority Groups – by a unanimous vote.
According to the AALS website, sections are established by action of the committee and appointed by the president. The 94 sections, composed of members of the faculty and administration of member schools, provide reports and policy advice to the Association.
Specifically, the Section on Minority Groups develops and organizes two panels for the annual meeting; gives out the the Clyde Ferguson Award and the Derrick A. Bell, Jr. Award; hosts and staffs a hospitality suite at the annual Faculty Recruitment Conference; hosts a New Teacher's Breakfast; helps with the Minority Law Prof Listserv; and recruits volunteers to produce a newsletter.
"I'm excited to have been elected for this position and to be able to work with such bright and dedicated colleagues from so many different law schools," said Rodriguez-Dod. "This committee has consistently organized critical and thought provoking programs. I look forward to the challenge of continuing this tradition as chair in 2014."
Professor Rodriguez-Dod teaches Property, Wills & Trusts, and Elder Law at the Florida International University College of Law. Her scholarship focuses on the necessary balancing of autonomy versus societal goals. She has been cited, quoted, and excerpted in texts, scholarly books, articles, academic blogs, and leading treatises.

What a fricking surprise, Joe Dumars trades away a draft pick to get cap space. Joe Dumars failed us with the Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva signings, but he really outdid himself this time. How Joe Dumars convinced himself that playing a guy without a jump shot and with terrible shot selection at Small Forward was a good idea is mystifying. Not to mention the other bigs can't stretch the floor. The level of apathy that went into this decision is almost funny. The only answer is that Dumars wanted to keep our draft pick so he is secretly tanking. But seriously the level of Jackassery that goes on when both Jennings and Smith are on the floor is amazing, Jennings runs the pick and roll only to turn and run to the corner and throw up a fade away three. Or he dribbles the clock down until he passes to Josh Smith, those possessions often end up something like this:
Josh Smith airballs potential game winner Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks (via NBA Highlights Full)
Jackassery at it's finest.
So other than Andre Drummond being denied possessions and having his developments stunted what else is there to care about this season? The Draft! This may be the only thing that Joe Dumars isn't terrible at as a GM. He has a good track record recently. He has drafted Andre Drummond, Greg Monroe, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Kyle Singler, and the two that got away Arron Afflalo, and Amir Johnson.
The obvious Joe Dumars move to make would be to draft more players who can't shoot the basketball so that Andre Drummond has to start shooting threes to try to space the floor. But Dumars is a wildcard, you never know what he is going to do. Let's take a look at the prospects we could have a shot at and who make sense for our team.
1. Jabari Parker, SF: He is by far the best player in the draft, he is the player Carmelo Anthony should be. He works hard, he is a good defender, a good team player, but if he needs to score 40 points he could do that too. He is sporting a very efficient 50/40/75 shooting slash. The only knocks on Parker are that he is not a world class athlete and he was too heavy in high school. There is no denying that this guy could turn our team around, a Small Forward who defends, scores at a efficient rate, and is unselfish. We just need to find some poor GM who doesn't realize that Josh Smith is not good at the game of basketball to trade Smith to. I have been watching Parker recently and he has really struggled, Parker likes to have space on his shot, if he doesn't he will kick out his leg on his jumper leaving him off balance. This has caused some ugly misses, Parker needs to make sure he isn't settling for bad shots. Another issue is if a defender forces Parker to catch the ball in a spot he doesn't like you can often force him to hoist a bad shot or give up the ball. He doesn't often try to get it back, he needs to be more aggressive in these situations and create more off the dribble, this is often what happens when he catches the ball in a spot where he doesn't want it:
Parker should have found the open man or kicked the ball out top again to reset, the big man that had come over to double him would have left to get his man and Parker would have a one on one situation where he can quickly get the ball back and create a more efficient shot for himself or others. I like Parker a lot, but he still has some flaws, most of them mental or bad habits. In the latest loss by Duke Parker was far to complacent, he was settling for jumpers and not taking over, it seems to be a recurring theme. Parker needs to work on this. If he can gain confidence in taking his man off the dribble and realize when is the right time to take over he is a superstar, watch this video if you haven't seen him play much, you will be impressed:
Jabari Parker 2013 Scouting Video (via DraftExpress)
2. Dante Exum, PG/SG: This guy is a mystery, a silky smooth 6'6" ball handler, he has a 6'9" wingspan, he has the ball on a string, and he is unbelievably quick. So what's not to like? The kid can't shoot a jumper, his shot mechanics are awful, he is way too thin and can get bullied around, and the kid can only finish with his right hand (The anti-Brandon Jennings). Now I like this kid more than most people but even I realize that he is a risk. If you can fix his jumper, help him bulk up, and make him a better finisher with both hands he is an All-NBA Player. Watching the kid play is like poetry, I think at his floor he is still a borderline All-Star due to his potential as an up tempo floor general and as a great defender. But if you haven't watched him play you need to, it is a treat. I honestly don't know who to compare him to:
Dante Exum Highlights vs. Team USA at Nike Hoop Summit - 4/21/13 (via NBAGamer07)
3. James Young, SG/SF: Think of Young as a hybrid between Jeremy Lamb and Nick Young. He has the potential to be a very good defender and spot-up shooter, but he also is very long and athletic and looks to create his own shot. Young is not a special player, he is very good though. Him and KCP on the perimeter together could form a duo of great spot-up shooters and defenders. Most teams probably don't view him as a mid-lottery pick but he would be a great fit for our team. Plus he is a lefty so we can keep that thing going. One of his best traits is creating space for his jump shot which KCP and Josh Smith can't do, this would be a very welcome sight.
4. Rodney Hood, SF: I'll admit I haven't watched Hood as closely as Parker, I know he is having a great season and is a deadly catch and shoot man. He is not a great ball handler and not a great defender. He is a fringy athlete, he is not a great athlete but it's not like he runs like Steve Novak. I would like a more all-around talent with such a high pick, but a solid defender, and a lights out shooter can be used on any team. My concern is that he and KCP playing on the perimeter together we won't really have a player in our starting lineup that can efficiently create his own shot, this is what really makes me think that James Young is a better fit along with the fact that Young is a better defender. In Duke's latest loss to Clemson Hood did his thing, he knocked down a ton of shots at hit them at an efficient rate. He played pretty poorly defensively, he got 1 rebound all game, he didn't get any assists. Overall it was not an impressive showing. Hood may be nothing more than a spot-up shooter. Check back for updates on his play. Take a look at Hood, of course he was getting to rim in this game because he was playing East Carolina:
Rodney Hood 2013.11.19 vs East Carolina - 30 Pts. (via Dawk Ins)
5. Marcus Smart, PG/SG: Smart is a strange player, he is a very good passer and floor general, he is a beast, a problem for every point guard in the league. Smart weighs 226 lbs. and can't be stopped by smaller guards, he is a bully. His jumper looks good but he is not a good shooter, he can get his shot up but doesn't often find a great shot. He wants to be a leader and shows a lot of effort defensively, but he is a risk taker, he often wants to get the steal. Smart doesn't take care of the ball as well as I would like him too, and at times he can become a ball hog. He is certainly a great player but just the other day Smart was playing in a close game and dunked the ball and slapped the backboard getting a technical foul. His team lost by only 3 points. The fact that Smart can't shoot, can be a ball hog, is a risk taker on defense, and makes bad plays like that makes me not think he fits the Pistons. Take a look at Smart, on the right team he's going to be great:
Marcus Smart 2013 NBA Draft Scouting Report Video (via DraftExpress)
Being that the Pistons would have to draft in the top 8 to keep the pick, the Pistons would without a doubt be able to get at least James Young is they get a top 8 draft pick. These are the five players that I think would be good fits for the Pistons. What are your thoughts on the draft?

Only Schenectady can have an assessor that flouts City residency laws. The drawback is that no one in their right mind wants to pay these idiotic Democratic taxes. Another example of Mayor McCarthy's total inability to lead.
Residency laws not worth tradeoff, trouble
We've argued for years that, however good their intentions, local laws requiring employees to live in the municipality they draw their paycheck from are unfair and a recipe for trouble. That has certainly been the case in Schenectady, where Mayor Gary McCarthy struggled to find a new police chief because the only qualified candidates balked at the requirement, and now finds himself at odds with his assessor, who wants an exemption because the city didn't enforce the law a year ago when it hired a slew of sewage treatment plant workers.
Tina Dimitriadis has a point. No matter what the mayor says, or may think, if you're going to maintain an unpopular law like a residency law, you have to enforce it consistently. A big problem in Schenectady, as McCarthy well knows, is that his predecessor, Brian Stratton, never bothered enforcing the law — preferring, instead, to hire the most qualified applicants regardless of where they lived. (OK, but he should have sought to abolish the law rather than ignore it.) Not only did most of his hires not bother moving into the city to be in compliance, a number of long-tenured city workers decided to move out! They're grandfathered now, and can't be compelled to move back.
So how fair is it for McCarthy to make Dimitriadis move into the city when he didn't make the sewage treatment plant workers, and when more than half the city's work force lives elsewhere? He says he cut the wastewater workers slack because he had to re-staff the plant on short notice and needed skilled workers; does he think assessors are unskilled, dime-a-dozen employees?
Albany County, which has sporadically enforced a residency law on the books since 1995, has been cracking down somewhat in recent years, but there are still plenty of violators who lie about their place of residence. According to a report in Thursday's Times Union, legislative leaders and County Executive Dan McCoy are contemplating an amnesty period of up to a year to give workers a reasonable chance of selling their houses before moving.
But moving isn't physically easy or cheap in any case. And uprooting can be emotionally tough on children, as well as adults. That's why some applicants turn down job offers, leaving employers to settle for an also-ran.
Granted, there are some advantages to having workers with "skin in the game," but they don't outweigh the drawbacks of residency laws.

Paper in Prestigious Physics Journal Spotlight's Research Pioneered by ODU's Laroussi
The prestigious academic journal Physics Reports has dedicated an entire issue to theory and applications of guided ionization waves in low temperature plasma jets, which were discovered in 2005 in the laboratory of Old Dominion University electrical engineer Mounir Laroussi.
Laroussi, director of the Laser & Plasma Engineering Institute of ODU's Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology, is one of four authors of the article "Guided Ionization Waves: Theory and Experiments" in Physics Reports, one of the world's leading physics journals.
Laroussi's specialty is the plasma that can be created in regular atmospheric conditions and can be used in a variety of applications, such as dental or wound-healing treatments, that do not burn normal human tissue. Conventional plasma, like that present in lightning and in television sets, is created in the absence of atmospheric pressure and is radically hot.
Both plasmas have been shown to kill germs, but the low-temperature version has gotten more attention for biomedical applications because it is safer and easier to use. Laroussi said the discovery of guided ionization waves - or guided plasma streamers - turned out to be crucial for medical applications of plasma.
"Usually plasma streamers occur in a random fashion and branch out in several unpredictable directions. Guided streamers can be controlled to travel in a single direction and at predictable times. This way one can aim the plasma at a precise location of interest," he said.
Following the discovery of this phenomenon, groups around the world have engaged in studying it, producing about 100 peer reviewed research publications, essentially a whole research community formed around the topic. "We feel very fortunate and honored to have contributed new knowledge to field of plasma physics," Laroussi said.
Paper lead author Xinpei Lu, from China's HuaZhong University, was a post-doctoral student with Laroussi in 2005, when guided ionization waves - known as plasma bullets - were discovered. The paper's other authors are George Naidis, a leading plasma modeling and simulation expert from the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Ken Ostrikov, a world-leading expert on plasma and nanotechnology from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization.
Identified in the journal abstract as, "fundamental phenomena that occur upon application of sufficiently strong electric fields to gases," guided ionization waves are studied through numerous technological applications of electrical discharges.
The 43-page article reviews the work of those various research thrusts, discussing the fundamental physics of the guided streamer-like structures - plasma bullets which are produced in cold atmospheric-pressure plasma jets.
"This knowledge is very useful to optimize the efficacy of applications of plasma streamer discharges in various fields, ranging from health care and medicine to materials science and nanotechnology," the article abstract notes.
As part of his research into atmospheric plasma, Laroussi developed the plasma "pencil," a hand-held device that emits a stream of cool plasma. The miniature light saber has been featured in a broad array of popular media, including National Geographic, as well as professional publications. The articles have noted the germ-killing applications, and the ease of use, of the plasma pencil. In the past few years, the ODU professor of electrical and computer engineering has collaborated with life scientists at the university to study the way the so-called plasma that shoots from his hand-held pencil can kill diseased cells and bacteria.
Published by Elsevier, Physics Reports keeps the active physicist up-to-date on developments in a wide range of topics. Each report deals with one specific subject. These reviews are specialist in nature but contain enough introductory material to make the main points intelligible to a non-specialist. The reader will not only be able to distinguish important developments and trends, but also find a sufficient number of references to the original literature.

Another one down. 26 valid ballots for this one. Here's what we thought the 205 pound landscape actually looks like...
1. Shogun Rua
2. Rashad Evans
3. Rampage Jackson
4. Lyoto Machida (sorry OJ)
5. Jon Jones
8. Thiago Silva
9. Ryan Bader
10. Phil Davis
Also receiving votes: Randy Couture, Gegard Mousasi, Lil Nog, Matt Hamill, Rich Franklin, King Mo Lawal, Feijao Cavalcante
Some interesting notes about the voting...
- Jon Jones finished 5th, despite being the only person to prevent Shogun from attaining a unanimous first place vote (Bones was #1 on 2 ballots, one of which had Shogun at #3)
- Lyoto Machida either finished above or below both Rashad Evans and Rampage Jackson, never in between the two
- Rampage Jackson and Jon Jones were separated by 15 points total
- Randy Couture finished in 11th place by 1 point behind Phil Davis
- Wingblade had an incredibly bizarre ballot (no criticism, it was just a huge anomaly). His ballot included the highest ranking for both Dan Henderson and Forrest Griffin, the lowest ranking for Rampage Jackson, the second highest ranking for both Randy Couture and Matt Hamill, and the second lowest ranking for Jon Jones
- Thank you to those of you that included Rich Franklin on your ballots; it made me feel better about myself.
On to the Middleweights. Same rules apply as previous, only include those CURRENTLY participating in that weight class. As much as I'd love to see Rich drop back down, he's a 205er right now, so don't include him in your ballots. Anyways, here goes nothing. This is my ballot.
2. Chael Sonnen
3. Yushin Okami
6. Jacare Souza
7. Demian Maia
10. Robbie Lawler (so close to putting Wandy here)
Alright guys, your turn...

Inter-American Women's Soccer Exchange
February 23-March 3, 2013
Soccer Without Borders ("SWB") is teaming up with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs ("ECA") SportsUnited Division this winter for the Inter-American Women's Soccer Exchange ("Exchange"). The Exchange is perhaps the most comprehensive effort by the U.S. to support the growth of girls' and women's soccer in Nicaragua. Read on for details of Phase One of the Exchange, as well as a complete list of players' and coaches' bios! You can also read the official Press Release here.
In partnership with the U.S. Embassy of Managua and FENIFUT, Phase One of the Exchange kicks off on February 24th in Granada, Nicaragua. The Exchange joins together a 16-member team of recently graduated U.S. Women's NCAA Soccer Players with the growing girls' and women's soccer community of Nicaragua. Ann Cook, Mary McVeigh and Maren Rojas, a trio at the forefront of women's soccer in the U.S., both as players and coaches, will lead the U.S. participants. They will be assisted by Lindsey Whitford , the SWB Granada Program Coordinator and a former NCAA student-athlete at Lewis & Clark University. The roster of players includes an impressive array of former NCAA student-athletes from across the United States. Players span all three NCAA Divisions and eight NCAA Conferences: The Big 10, The Big South, Conference USA, The Ivy League, Middle Atlantic Conference, New England Small Colleges Athletic Conference (NESCAC), Northwest Conference, and PAC 12. As a group, participants represent ten elite U.S. colleges and universities, and hail from 10 different states.
Exchange players and coaches will take their experiences and talents to three Nicaraguan cities, leading a series of skills clinics and coaching clinics with a focus on engaging girls, team-building, skill-building, practice design, and coaching strategies for Nicaragua's young female soccer players and leaders. The Exchange will also feature two showcase games between the Nicaraguan U-20 Women's National Team and the Exchange Team, to be held at the National Stadiums in Diriamba and Managua on Tuesday, February 26 and Thursday, February 28.

To date, Nicaraguan girls' participation in soccer remains underwhelming compared to their male peers, with economic and cultural barriers consistently thwarting strides made in the direction of a more supported National Team, consistent playing opportunities, proper coaching and equipment, and a safe space to play.
During the five years that Soccer Without Borders has worked in Nicaragua, the growth of girls' sports has been steady but slow, with still just one division of a Women's National League compared to four on the men's side. Locally in Granada, a girls' youth division has yet to develop in the ever-expanding Granada recreational league. With boys' divisions from under-13 to multiple divisions for men, girls' teams are forced to choose between the single division of the women's league, or enter youth divisions on the boys' side. Last year's women's league had just three teams, two of which were entered by SWB. School-based teams are virtually non-existent. No law similar to Title IX in the US exists in Nicaragua, so limited resources for sport and other extra-curriculars are easily divided unequally.
More about the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs' SportsUnited Division: The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs' SportsUnited Division leads the U.S. Department of State's international exchange efforts to bring the global community together through sports. Under its International Sports Programming Initiative, public and private U.S. based non-profit organizations may submit proposals to address one of four themes: Youth Sports Engagement, Sport for Social Change, Sport and Disability, and Sport and Health. Since 2002, the division has awarded 86 grants to U.S. non-profits to conduct programs in 57 countries around the world.

Land prices post first fall since 2009PUBLISHED: 10 May 2012 00:37:02 | UPDATED: 10 May 2012 07:52:42PUBLISHED: 10 May 2012 PRINT EDITION: 10 May 2012
Rebecca Thistleton
Melbourne land prices fell nearly 3 per cent in the March quarter, driving the national median into its first decline since 2009.
Land releases in Melbourne plummeted throughout 2011, from more than 3500 lots in the first quarter of 2011 to a low of about 1500 lots in the 2012 December quarter.
While there was a slight improvement this quarter, Melbourne is still falling short of consumer demand of about 350 sales per month.
Charter Keck Cramer's national land survey program research suggested that median land prices were too high to meet market demand, amid relatively high interest rates and the rising cost of living.
While Melbourne used to account for about 40 per cent of all activity in the land market, this has dropped to 27 per cent.
CKC predicted "best value" and "more for less" marketing mantras would be heard through the next quarter, and sales should marginally improve in June through price discounts.
Melbourne's overall stock volumes began to recover this quarter, but still fell well below greenfield dwelling targets set out in state plans.
All capital cities except Perth were short at least 40 per cent of their target.
Sydney's land market is dominated by second-home buyers, effectively locking out many first-time buyers, so interest rate cuts are likely to have little effect.
More than a third of Sydney's supply costs more than $260,000.
While it is difficult for first-home buyers to crack the Sydney market, CKC judged Sydney's land range to have good variety and noted prices had remained steady while projects had reduced the number of lots released.
In Adelaide, a narrow product range and weak demand had caused new land markets to struggle. CKC predicted sales would remain tight.
Sales in south-east Queensland have dropped well below strategic planned levels. The market is dependent on its small projects, which make up the majority of the market, and if each project was to drop a sale a month, the average monthly sale rate would fall by 150 lots. CKC noted that no other market was so dependent on small projects meeting supply.
Median lot sizes across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast were the country's biggest at 609 square metres.
Nationally, the median lot size for the March 2012 quarter was 506 square metres, down from 514 square metres the previous quarter.
Canberra had 50 per cent of all lots less than 400 square metres, while nationally the rate was 25 per cent.
While Canberra prices are steady, lot sizes have shrunk, showing price reductions are being achieved through offering smaller product.
That drift towards smaller lots could decrease demand in Canberra because of a tightening product range.
Lots valued at $210,000 and under are considered the first-home buyer's benchmark and, as only 31 per cent of land offered or sold in the quarter was at or below $200,000, only three out of every 10 to come on the market were within reach of a first-time buyer.
Sale volumes only met 57 per cent of demand for new housing in growth regions, and CKC showed that from 2007 to 2012, major new land markets had only sold enough lots to address about 58 per cent of demand.
Perth has been the exception, with new land meeting 83 per cent of demand in the past five years.
CKC says the new land market has reached its volume ceiling and investors, rather than owner-occupiers, are likely to drive further sales volume increases. Their analysis showed the weaker market would push demand for greater product choice.
The national average price per square metre was $453. Canberra had the most expensive square metre price, which averaged $549.

The Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers will meet in Week 6 on Sunday afternoon at Mall of America Field, both searching for a crucial victory.
Minnesota (1-3) is coming off a bye week following a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in London. Matt Cassel took the reigns in that contest for an injured Christian Ponder, and led the team along with Adrian Peterson to its first victory of 2013.
This week, the Vikings signed quarterback Josh Freeman, who had been released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a week prior. Head coach Leslie Frazier said Freeman will be in the mix to start down the road, but will certainly be a backup against the Panthers.
Carolina (1-3) was drubbed 22-6 by the Arizona Cardinals last weekend following its bye, putting it 3.5 games behind the New Orleans Saints in the NFC South. Much talk around the Panthers has been about the job security of coach Ron Rivera, who to this point has been backed by the front office.

Rate is weekly rate plus tax. We are staying here for 2 weeks. The park is quiet and seems quite secure. Each vehicle gets a remote to operate the gated entrance. Most of the sites are seasonal but there are a couple sites available. Everybody we have met is quite friendly. Sat at the river yesterday and watched several eagles fishing. We are about 50 feet from railroad tracks but have not seen any train since we got here 5 days ago. Paved rail/trail is beside the tracks. Owner is very friendly and helpful. If space is available here when we are in the area we will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We found this campground thru Passport America and the rate reflects their discount. The owner added 3 new back in sites this year, the other 11 sites are taken by seasonal campers. Our site (13) is wooded, full shade, with a gravel drive and pad. It is a short walk past the other sites to the Kennebec river and marina. This is a great stop for folks traveling to or from Canada or someone with a boat that is lucky enough to get a slip in the marina. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

John Edwards Walks Daughter Down The Aisle
The oldest daughter of John Edwards, former U.S. Senator, married her longtime boyfriend this weekend in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Cate Edwards and Trevor Upham were married at the University Methodist Church in Chapel Hill Saturday, WRAL-TV, Raleigh, N.C., reported.
John Edwards, who is facing felony charges related to receiving illegal campaign contributions allegedly used to cover up an affair, walked his daughter down the aisle, UPI.com reported.
Edwards is still dealing with that, and in a letter submitted to the court, he says he is aware his new lawyer, Abbe Lowell, previously represented two possible witnesses in his federal case and doesn't see it as a problem.
However, this didn't affect his daughter's big day.
"It's just great," said family friend Glenn Bergenfield. "[It] couldn't be a nicer, better day for the Edwards family."
After the ceremony, the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee left through the back of the church with a police escort.
"John is strong. He's got some hard times ahead, but today is a wonderful day and John feels delighted that Trevor is going to be Cate's husband," Bergenfield said.
The wedding came 10 months after Elizabeth Edwards, John Edwards' wife, died of breast cancer.
"The Edwards family, as the whole nation knows, has had its difficult times. This isn't one of them," Bergenfield said. "This is just a great day."

YAKIMA, WA - In a novel approach to getting police attention, authorities in Yakima
say a 36-year-old man rammed a police vehicle with his pickup truck and
said he needed protection. The Thursday afternoon crash damaged a rear door and back quarter panel on Officer Marc Scherzinger's car. No one was hurt. Police Captain Rod Light says the man told officers he just got out of federal prison in California "and thought he needed protection from death threats." The man was arrested for investigation of second-degree malicious mischief and second-degree assault.

Hey NN, great win today.
I don't want to be the one to look ahead too soon, but Carolina could potentially be the hardest game of the season. The first thing that strikes me is that they are playing well together. It's not that they're playing the best football in the league, but rather they are gelling together very well. In other words, they're hot at the right time. I'd like to imagine that the Niners are in a similar situation heading into their house next week.
The most contreversial thing for me is their front seven group. Last time we played, they completely demolished our offensive line and did not give Kap much time to make a play with his arm or his legs. Hopefully this week, pass blocking will be greatly improved.
Lastly, at the time we played Carolina early in the season, they had the number one defense against the run, and we had the number one run offense. They seemed to have one that battle and stopped our offensive production significantly. Hopefully this time with Crab and VD being healthy in the game, they won't be able to stack the box.
These are my concerns for next week, what do you guys thing? This team is a mirror image of the Niners with a less offensive talent, but with similar offensive results. Hopefully everything all be used to maximize the skill sets of all the players.
