Tens of millions of dollars in construction and development efforts mean new state of the art living quarters for Northern Illinois University students.
"I don't think ever in my life, I've lived at a place that's this nice and new before," Mike Wohlner.
Wohlner is a sophomore at NIU. He thinks the sand volleyball and basketball courts are great but he's really excited for hitting the books.
He says this new residence will help him do that.
"In addition to that, every room here is a single so I'm going to have a lot of my own privacy here which will hopefully help bring up my GPA this semester so I'm really looking forward to that."
"This kind of privacy is what they've been looking for for a number of years and I think it's going to provide a variety of options for students. So we'll still have some of our traditional residence hall settings for students but this will also give a more high end, contemporary option for students if this is what they're looking for," said NIU Executive Director of Housing and Dining, Mike Stang.
It's not only the residents though who see how beneficial the new facility could be.
Community advisors are already moving into their apartments at the center awaiting the arrival of soon to be neighbors.
"This is just awesome because it's new and I have a little more space to do one on one's with residents and programs," said Sam Rossi IV, community advisor.
Rossi looks forward to starting the new school year and the change that comes along with it.
"A big change will be, not seeing each other on the way to the bathroom."
Some of his responsibilities include creating a sense of community and making residents feel at home and welcome.
He doesn't think he'll have any trouble considering common areas are equipped with cooking needs and entertainment wants.
"The lounges are so awesome and the TVs are so awesome that people will be out and talking with each other anyway's."
Rooms will be ready for students as they begin or return for fall semester. NIU's official move-in day is next week, August 23rd.
The first day for students is the following Monday, August 27th.

Cry Freedom! Insight from Martha
This month, perhaps through a series of coincidences, or perhaps through something else, I've seen dozens of different people being set free in dozens of different ways. Oh what the hell, I don't believe for a minute that it's a coincidence. Something is changing in the collective Zeitgeist, or the "Spirit of the Times." We are moving into - Continue Reading

There was bad news and good news from Reed Arena last night.
The bad
Obviously it's that we lost. This wasn't just a loss. It was a frustrating loss. Although this was a game that had you cheering wildly for our women and acknowledging some great plays by the Cats, it was also the kind of game where you want to scream "WHAT THE *%$#%# ARE YOU THINKING?!!!" over and over as the Ags showed new and creative hospitality in the form of turnovers. Now, 18 turnovers vs a team with the defensive mojo of Kentucky isn't necessarily an unusual number. In fact, it's less than three above our season average of 15.6 per game. But these turnovers were not like our run-of-the-mill turnovers. In the postgame, Coach Blair said we played like we were afraid to handle the ball against the press. In some cases it looked like our ladies didn't want to burden one of their teammates with the onerous task and so they simply handed the ball to a defender. Or threw it up for grabs from the backcourt. Or seemed to forget that catching the ball in the backcourt on an inbounds pass isn't a violation.
(We don't actually scream this at Reed; it's a family-friendly venue. But we are thinking it).
We must give credit to Kentucky coach Matt Mitchell and the Kentucky defense. But maybe there's more to this than just hard-nosed pressing defense with a really deep bench of well-coached lightning quick players. There's a clue in the title of the pregame post at A Sea of Blue: All our Hexes Live in Texas. Perhaps Mitchell was sticking pins in a Gary Blair doll on the UK sideline and whispering to it: "to break the press, have your point guard throw the inbounds pass". He made Kelsey Bone think that ball in the backcourt was a snake. He used polyjuice potion to fool our players into handing the ball to defenders they thought were teammates. At least that's my theory.
The good:
- Money for breast cancer research
- The game was entertaining, even if we didn't like the result
- The student section wasn't empty. Special props to the Corps for their showing and loudness.
- The Ags didn't quit when they were down and showed a lot of heart in adversity in a rally that fell short at the end.
The rally
With around 13 minutes left in the game, A'dia Mathies crashed into a crowd for an offensive board. I expected a foul on Mathies, but I was at the other end of the court, across from the home bench. Bodies went to the floor and when things resumed, Kelsey Bone was limping off the court and Courtney Walker had been called for her fourth foul. By 8:31, the Wildcats had a 14 point lead and Bone was still in pain. Coach Blair decided he needed Walker on the floor even with 4 fouls, and went with a lineup of Karla Gilbert, Kristi Bellock, Peyton Little, Courtney Walker and Adrienne Pratcher. It only took 2:10 for that group to whittle the Kentucky lead down to 4 at 56-60 (6:21), and the lead was 4 at 60-64 (4:36) when Blair put Bone back in the game. Two buckets by CWalk around a basket by Mathies made it a 2 point lead with 1:03 remaining. Blair subs Jordan Jones for Courtney Williams to get on-ball pressure. This works well when Jones strips the ball and it goes out of bounds with only 1 tick left on the shot clock.
Timeout Kentucky. At this point, I think most of the crowd is thinking we get a stop and a chance to tie or take the lead on the next possession. We're jumping around, screaming, and waving the little pink towels that were placed on the seats. Instead, Matt Mitchell must have had one more bit of black magic left.
What happened next was hard to process in real time from the other end of the floor. But the highlight at ESPN lets us dissect the play. Stallworth takes the ball for the inbounds pass on the left baseline. Mathies and O'Neill are the obvious options on the left side. Jones and CWalk follow them out toward the Ky bench. Bone is on the inbounds pass. In the paint, Kristi Bellock is checking Bria Goss. On the right side of the key, Adrienne Pratcher has 6-1 Samarie Walker who isn't a threat from distance with only 1 on the shot clock.
Mathies sets a beautiful screen for O'Neill breaking for the left corner, taking out both Jones and CWalk as Stallworth lobs the ball to O'Neill. Bone instinctively (or by design?) goes at the shooter, leaving Kentucky with a 3-2 advantage in the paint. Bellock rotates to box out Stallworth. Pratcher does a textbook boxout on Samarie Walker. But all this leaves Bria Goss is wide open, and when Stallworth goes over Bellock to tip the ball into the paint, Goss lays it in.
The Ags had one more desperation chance requiring rebounding an intentionally missed free throw, but that was effectively the end of the rally.
Congrats to Kentucky. Lost in my writeup is how Denisha Stallworth played much, much better than I thought she would. I'll let Greg Allen Edwards praise the Cats in his post-mortem from the UK pov here. Courtney Walker played an amazing game down the stretch, playing with 4 fouls.
The refs were laughably bad, but are not to blame for the loss, as they had mysterious weird calls on both sides.

Windows User Account Question
So, last evening my grandmother downloaded some "free books". We should all know how that ended. Yeah, I spent most of the night cleaning up after the mess.
Anyways, I discovered that her main account has full administrator permissions. She is also on Windows 7. Would it be a good idea to create a new account to be administrator, set her account to "basic", and give her the password to the administrator account, so she has to think twice before installing anything?
Also, is there an easy way to completely disable extensions in Chrome? I saw I could force chrome into Incognito on startup, but I really don't want to do that...
Just wondering what you guys out there do to keep yourselves (and family members) safe on the internet. It's very easy to fall for stuff if you aren't well trained.

Just upgraded my DC1400 to the new Sea Dragon gear! For anyone considering making the change, here are a few major improvements I noticed right off the bat:
The new flex arms are QUIET...The single piece dual tray feels MUCH more solid in your hands...No more of those pesky, easily corroded, magnets in the on/off switch!...The benefit of the separated battery compartment is a HUGE upgrade...The entire rig just looks and feels much more solid, and with the detachable parts, it is a ton more portable.
So, if you're considering changing to the Sea Dragon setup, I suggest swinging by your LDS and having a look for yourself. The pictures don't do it justice.

A Leaner, Meaner Beanie Wells?
Ok so 'meaner' may be a stretch but according to Darren Urban, Wells will be much leaner than he was during his glory days at Ohio State. Wells, who reported to the Cardinals at 247 pounds, has reportedly lost 18 pounds and is well on his way to the 225 pound target that John Lott set for him shortly after the draft. Gotta love the kid already embracing the greatness of John Lott.

A Birmingham man has been arrested for robbing someone who pulled over to help him with his apparent car troubles.
Suspect Walter William Tate, 21, faces two counts of first degree robbery for two robberies authorities say he committed in the same area Wednesday morning.
The investigation began around 5:30 a.m. when man reported being robbed on Erwin Dairy Road between Fultondale and Tarrant.
The victim told Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies that he was driving down the road when he noticed a car that looked like it was broken down. The vehicle had its emergency flashers on, so the man stopped to help.
Officials say Tate asked the man to jump off his car, and when the man said he didn't have any jumper cables, Tate "pulled a gun and demanded money," Chief Deputy Randy Christian said.
The robbery was unsuccessful because other cars pulled up and the victim had the chance to drive away and call for help.
While deputies were investigating the case, another man reported being robbed in the same area.
Deputies released a description of the suspect and his car to surrounding authorities, asking them to be on the lookout.
Birmingham police officers later found the suspect's vehicle in the 4800 block of 30th Way North.
When deputies spoke with the car's owner, they learned that she had let her son drive the car that day. Christian said the son walked up while deputies were speaking to his mom about the robberies. The son was identified as the suspect in both cases and arrested.
Tate has been charged with two counts of first degree robbery. He is being held in the Jefferson County Jail on a $100,000 bond.

Las Vegas Metro police on Friday released a video via YouTube of Sheriff Doug Gillespie's internal communication to employees concerning the DA's decision to take the fatal Stanley Gibson shooting to a grand jury.
Gibson, 43, was a disabled veteran who was shot and killed last December by Metro Officer Jesus Arevalo after being stopped in his vehicle. Police said Gibson did not respond to requests that he exit his vehicle. Gibson was unarmed.
It was announced earlier this week that Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson will seek a criminal indictment.
In the video, Gillespie makes it clear to employees that he is standing firm with the officers involved and in no way considers the shooting a criminal act.
"I do not see this fatal shooting as a criminal act. Stanley Gibson's death is a tragedy. His death should never have happened. The actions of the officers involved in this incident were not criminal," Gillespie said in the video message.
Gillespie also said he spoke with investigators, asking them to reconsider pursuing an indictment. He concludes by asking his staff to stand together and support the officers involved.

Ricky Durden, father of Dominic Durden, the Riverside County Sheriff's dispatcher killed in a July 12 vehicle collision, had the other driver in his thoughts Friday, July 20, during the celebration of life service for Dominic.
Juan Zacarias Lopez Tzun, who the CHP said turned in front of Durden on Pigeon Pass Road, was arraigned July 16 on charges of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence, a misdemeanor, and driving without a license. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.
"I'm pretty sure Mr. Lopez and his family are grieving too," Ricky Durden said.
The service Friday at Harvest Christian Fellowship Church in Riverside was full of poignant moments, too many to fit into The Press-Enterprise story about the service for Dominic Durden.
In one, family friend Thomas Marbury Jr. read a poem, and the soldier then walked in front of Durden's casket and slowly saluted.
"Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. I'm a thousand winds that blow," Marbury said. He concluded the reading as he looked at Dominic's parents. "Do not stand at my grave and cry. Sabine and Ricky, he's not there. He did not die."

Look at her record. She could come back in three weeks. The Beldame is 22 days from today, and $600,000 for the Beldame is nothing to sneeze at. If you run her three to four weeks apart, she does great. I told (Rafael Bejarano) they were going to take hold of Teammate. She's the kind of filly that does everything right."

Road Rage
In Genesis 6, when God looked down upon the earth and saw the wickedness of man, I think he was watching how man drives.
In Genesis 6, when God looked down upon the earth and saw the wickedness of man, I think he was watching how man drives.
Earlier this week, I was driving home from work and I saw a bumper sticker that said, "Trees are the answer." My first thought was, of course, "What's the question?"
What is the meaning of life? Trees. What time is the meeting this afternoon? Trees. How did you make those delightful raspberry tarts from last week's poetry reading? Trees. What number am I thinking of? Trees. How can we reverse the damage mankind has done to Earth since the Industrial Revolution? Tre- …nah, that's ridiculous.
Immediately following, my next thought was, "Wait, shouldn't that be 'Trees is the answer'?" Or maybe "Trees are the answers"? Even "Tree is the answer" would work. Grammatically speaking, multiple trees can't be the one answer. On the other hand, I suppose the concept of trees and what they represent could be the answer. Or simply the word "Trees" could be the answer. Given the opportunity, I probably would have slightly altered the phrasing to "Whatever our problems are, a large part of the solution involves trees and their various attributes & roles."
Don't get me wrong, I've said "[plural noun] is the answer" in the past, along with countless other similarly phrased sentences, and I probably will again in the future. That's the phrasing that sounds correct to me. I'm just not sure that it technically is correct.
That bumper sticker was a failure.

Essex thwarted by rain against Derbyshire
5:33pm Wednesday 29th August 2012 in Essex Cricket Club
ESSEX and Derbyshire were frustrated as rain prevented any play on the second day of the LV= County Championship Division Two match at Derby.
Steady rain throughout the morning ruled out any action before lunch and although the storms passed in the afternoon, it was too late for the match to resume.
Umpires Mark Benson and Jeff Evans held two inspections in the hope the outfield and square would dry out enough for some play to be possible - but despite sunshine and a stiff breeze after tea, play was abandoned at 5pm.
But despite the loss of the whole day, there is still a good chance of a positive result in the match after the fall of 13 wickets on the opening day.
The match is nicely poised with leaders Derbyshire 28 for three, trailing Essex by 217 runs, after the visitors fought back strongly in the final session yesterday.
The hosts still need another 68 runs to avoid the threat of the follow-on.

Managing your academics and planning for the future
Talk to your Advisor
Undergraduate students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor to discuss their course schedule and create a plan for time away from school. Mary Higgins, Assistant Vice-President for Student Retention is another great resource and can assist in contacting faculty or your advisor to discuss any academic concerns. Mary can be reached at the Center for Student Success and Retention: 402-280-5566.
Non-traditional students, including students over the age of 24, are encouraged to contact Mary Bestenlehner in University College to discuss any academic concerns. Mary can be reached at 402-280-2730.
Consider your Housing Options
Undergraduate students are encouraged to visit the Department of Residence Life, located in Swanson Hall, room 136 to discuss housing options. Heider Hall is an apartment style building available to freshmen and sophomore students who have a child or who are expecting a child. Heider Hall has limited availability for juniors, seniors, and graduate students so please contact Residence Life as soon as you know you are expecting. Contact Carol Isham for more information at 402-280-3900.
Financial Considerations
Having a child will bring financial changes to your life and it's important to consider your financial aid, student employment, and work study opportunities. please contact the Office of Financial Aid at 402-280-2731.
Additionally, Dean Obenauer in the Office of Financial Aid is available to meet with students to discuss financial literacy. If you need assistance with budgeting or money management as you prepare for a child, Dean would be happy to help.
Many undergraduates and low-income families qualify for Title XX (Nebraska Child Care Subsidy). Contact 402-595-3400 or visit Nebraska DHHS online to learn more. The online assessment tool can also help you determine if you qualify for additional assistance with food, health care or housing. Additionally, some graduate students may qualify for child care loans, which can be discussed with the Office of Financial Aid.
What to Look For When Seeking Child Care
Verify the license of the center or in-home care and find out if any complaints have been filed against them through the Dept. of Health and Human Services
Look For:
- Space-make sure there is adequate space for playing and sleeping separately.
- Quality of materials and furniture-not necessarily expensive, but durable, clean and with no sharp corners, choking hazards or fragile pieces.
- Clean-spills should be cleaned soon after they occur, toys should be cleaned and disinfected regularly (preferably weekly; daily if touched by bodily fluids).
- Organized-children should have a regular routine which includes planned activities, quiet and noisy times, set meal times, and adequate time for rest/sleeping.
- Set guidance/discipline plan-caregivers should have information and training on handling behaviors and conflicts with children. Physical punishment or withholding food is NEVER acceptable in a daycare/childcare center.
- Comfortable sleep space-babies should be laid to rest on their backs in a crib and nothing should be in the crib with them (blankets should be tucked into mattress until the baby can roll over). Toddlers and preschoolers should have a quiet low lit space to sleep (at least 30 minutes/day).
- Healthy foods/positive meal times-preferably part of USDA food plan (CACFP), at least menu balanced in food groups. Caregivers should encourage, not force food choices.
Finding Balance and Support
Expecting a child while in school can be stressful and the Center for Health and Counseling is available to help. Student Counseling Services offers free counseling sessions to Creighton students in a confidential environment. For more information, visit them online or contact 402-280-2735 for an appointment.

A Lubbock resident spent Sunday cleaning up following an afternoon fire. "Resident left for work early this morning, came back to open the door and was greeted by smoke," Lubbock Fire Acting Battalion Chief Shaun Fogerson said.
Fire crews arrived at the home at 38th and Avenue P just after 4:00 p.m. They had the flames out in fifteen minutes. Investigators say the fire appears to have started in the bathroom, and could be electrical. Fortunately, damage inside the home is minimal.

MADISON (WKOW)-- The year 2012 will go down as one of the worst years for whooping cough with the highest number of cases in over 50 years. Wisconsin has the highest number of cases in the country.
As of December 14th Wisconsin Public Health announced over 5,700 cases of Pertussis commonly known as Whooping Cough. It's eight times higher than the national average and nearly five times higher than in 2011.
Cases have been reported in nearly every age group, but by large the most common is children between 10 and 15 years old.
"We seem to see some of that immunization waning right there at that 10 to 15-year-old age range. They are recommending that adolescents and pre-teens should have a booster which is when you get your Tetanus shot, get one that has the Pertussis in it so you get that additional booster," says Epidemiologist Ellen Smith.
Experts say the disease spreads quickly in cold and dry conditions which is why they think Wisconsin might be the worst state for cases this year. Numbers show 93 out of every 100,000 people in Wisconsin contracted Whooping Cough in 2012.
Experts say that number could increase by the end of the year, because late December is one of the worst times for spreading the disease.
"With the holiday shopping everybody congregates in the malls so when you start to put crowds together you start to put a lot of people indoors together, germs and things will spread," Smith explains.
As bad as the numbers look they're not unheard of. Back in 2004 Wisconsin Public Health saw more than 5,600 cases in the state.
Epidemiologists suggest common sense prevention. Keeping up to date with vaccinations, teaching your kids to cover their coughs, and plenty of hand washing.
Of the 5,700 confirmed cases this year only one of them was fatal. An infant died this past February.

Science fair season is underway in Inland area. Lake Elsinore Unified, for example, has its district science fair on Feb. 20. And the regional science fair, held annually at the National Orange Show in San Bernardino, is scheduled for early April.
That's one reason this story and the video above caught my attention. The story's about a seventh-grade girl from northern California whose science project centered on sending Hello Kitty into space. It's a fun story and the video is pretty amazing. I've been to couple of science fairs in my years covering education and I'll tell you, I'm amazed at how creative and involved the kids' projects can be sometimes. This is definitely one of those.
So tell me, are your students or children working on any science fair projects this year? Have you seen any cool science fair videos online? Share your thoughts and links in the comments. Who knows, maybe I'll be featuring a local student's project on this blog sometime soon.

Hey Im 15,about 14.7-15.6% bodyfat,trying to come down to about 10% maybe less,Im about 5'5 184 lbs,size 34 waist...Id like to lose 5% bodyfat before september which I dont see as really MUCH of a hard thing to do...Here is a routine of what ill be doing over the next 2 weeks to see how things go...But If i see results even a little bit Ill stick with it.
Crunches/AB workout (30 min)...Pushups/Chest workout (30 min)
Bicep/Tricep workout (30min)...Pushups/Chest workout (30min) Alternating with Crunches/AB workout (30 min) every other time. Also a 15 minute cardio session(or should the cardio session go with Mon,Wed,Sat?)
Rest day...Alternating with 30-45 minute cardio session every other friday.
After 2 weeks is up,im going to weigh myself again,and check my bodyfat,if i notice even a slight change,ill stick to this routine or even add more time to the cardio and each of my workouts.
Somebody please critique my schedual,I thought about cardio for 30 minutes a session but with the 30-45 minutes on alt. fridays i figure im alright,but if you have any tips shout 'em out.Remember I'm just trying to lose 5% bodyfat or build muscle to make me look more built,the point being i just don't wanna look fat,I think this will work for me. I have till early September and i will be eating as best as i can throughout the time period.Thank You in advance.
I think you should take a good look at your diet and start eating cleaner. You'll have to learn what's healthy; check out the nutrition section and the thread "what a bodybuilder eats". It'll be good for you to lose body fat, but you don't want to stunt your growth by not giving your body enough nutrients. I suggest you eat cleaner, lower your calories a bit to lose some body fat, do cardio exercise several times a week, and maybe some weight training.
BTW, crunches don't tighten your stomach or help you lose fat. Consider doing a full body workout with weights.
If you see even a slight change in your bodyfat%, it's most likely just from the inherent inconsistency of your measuring technique, you can measure twice in a row and get different results. Just be careful and average over a few measurments or you could be misleading yourself
when are you planning on working your legs?

I know what you're thinking, you want to lose some weight, get a decent chest and abs going, and back it up with some guns before school starts back up. Maybe impress some ladies. Have them going, "Wow, what did you do over the summer?"
Even if that's not your goal, train your whole body. You'll look and feel better. Think of your body as a V8 engine. You want it to be able to burn tons of fuel. If you only do chest/abs/arms, it's like you are only running on 2-3 of those cylinders. There are plenty of routines on this board you can use. WBB #1 is highly recommended.
If you need any help on how to do some of the exercises listed, this thread will point you to the videos that demostrate the movements.
Read, study, and ask questions. There are lots of knowledgeable people here to help you. Good Luck.

The half-million citizens of the District of Columbia, like citizens of the fifty states, bear all of the obligations of American citizenship: they are required to obey the laws passed by Congress; they pay federal taxes; they serve in the military; and they fight and die in our wars. Yet they lack the most basic right that should accompany American citizenshipthe right to full voting representation in Congress. This makes the United States the only nation in the world with a representative, democratic constitution that denies citizens of its capital representation in the national legislature. In fact, no fewer than 183 nations provide their citizens the type of representation citizens of Washington, DC are denied.
Oh no i do train my legs,i play basketball all day long,and with the cardio i do i train my legs also,but not weight training,usually for weight training my legs i pick up one of the little kids on my block and do some squats,and chicken fights with friends i know you wouldnt think of it as working your legs but trust me,from doing these things my legs have results already,i notice thigh muscles bulging out when i flex my legs,and my calves are huge,i recently recovered from a big injury,broke my leg in 2 places,bone snapped through the skin,the stuff you see on real TV.,after that i broke the same leg again,and one more time,a total of 1 yr and 9 months in a cast,so thats how i got "fat" not too fat but enough for people to call me fat.So ive been on the road to FULL recovery by working my abs and chest since thats basically the only thing i dont work,i do my back also just not alot.any info or comments IM me at fyuocuk022 or email at email@example.com
These are all good things, but you will see much better overall gains if you include a weight-training program for your legs.Originally Posted by Dramafades

UFC Fight Night 34 might not be lighting up the forums in the United States, but it's doing pretty big business at the overseas box office.
"Saffiedine vs. Lim," the first mixed martial arts (MMA) event to be streamed exclusively on the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) "Fight Pass" digital network (details), is close to selling out the the 6,000-capacity arena at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
And that success could lead to seven more events in Asia before the year is out, according to UFC Asia Managing Director Mark Fischer (via Yahoo Sports):
"We're looking at doing it on an annual basis. Singapore is a great hub in terms of economics and tourism, plus we're headquartered here now, so it makes sense to do at least one a year. We're looking at five, six shows with an outside chance of seven [in Asia]. All will be 'Fight Night' editions featuring top contenders and stars. There are huge populations in these countries, and they all have deep martial arts roots and traditions. They're all catching on to the move towards MMA."
And "they" have had a little help from the local scene.
Before UFC made its recent push into Asia -- which has been on its radar for years -- ONE Fighting Championship has been staging shows in that part of the world with great success. Whether or not there is room for two major MMA promotions in a growing market remains to be seen.
But when in doubt, always bet a horse by its record.

Activity among the service provider chains over the past few months suggests the FBO consolidation kettle is steaming again and whistling loudly. Last month, Atlantic Aviation, which previously had no Florida FBOs, made a big splash with the announcement of its $195 million acquisition of Galaxy Aviation. Atlantic added four of Galaxy's Florida FBOs: at Orlando International, Northeast Florida Regional Airport in St. Augustine, Witham Field Airport in Stuart and Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach.
Palm Beach International Airport
Atlantic Aviation parent company Macquarie Infrastructure announced late last week that it acquired Galaxy Aviation, a Florida-based FBO chain with six facilities, for $195 million. The agreement is expected to close in the first quarter of next year, subject to government approvals.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott participated in a ground-breaking ceremony yesterday at Galaxy Aviation's new hangar complex at Palm Beach International Airport. Known as Hangar 1, the 75,000-sq-ft facility will add to the one million square feet that the local FBO chain already occupies at the airport. Galaxy has begun the pre-leasing process for the new structure, slated for completion by early next year. The hangar, which will be able to accommodate long-range business jets, will also feature its own lounge and flight-planning and catering areas.
Florida-based FBO chain Galaxy Aviation expects to break ground this month on a new hangar complex at its Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) facility. Known as Hangar 1, the 75,000-sq-ft concrete tilt-wall structure will have 28-foot-high doors capable of accommodating aircraft up to the size of a G650, and will be divided into two bays of approximately 33,000 sq ft each. Designed to provide shelter against the worst Florida weather, its construction will exceed hurricane wind code requirements, and the 16 private office suites will have hurricane impact glass storefront entries.
Signature Flight Support and NetJets broke ground today on a 10,000-sq-ft dedicated passenger terminal solely for NetJets customers at Palm Beach International Airport in Florida. The $13 million facility, which will open in the second half of next year, is being developed under a partnership between the FBO chain and fractional provider. Attending the event were Signature and NetJets executives, local elected officials and a half dozen students enrolled in the aviation program at the nearby Boynton Beach Community High School.
Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) plans to close the current 5,200-foot south east-west runway (9R/27L) at 10 p.m. EDT on April 17, in preparation for construction of a new south runway.
Pilots, flight attendants, dispatchers and other AIN subscribers who have frequent interaction with FBOs provided a total of 17,863 evaluations of more than 1,600 FBOs around the world in their responses to AIN's 2012 FBO Survey. Of these, 115 FBOs in the Americas received the required 30 or more evaluations necessary to be included in the table of ratings available on AINonline.
Construction began at the end of January on a runway expansion project at Florida's Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport with a price tag of nearly $800 million. The work will shift and lengthen Runway 9R/27L from its current 5,276 feet to 8,000 feet, giving the rapidly growing airport two parallel runways that can accommodate airline flights. The expansion is expected to increase the airport's capacity from 84 flights per hour to more than 100.
StarPort, an Orlando Sanford International Airport FBO known for its avionics capability, has teamed with Rotortech Services. Under the terms of the agreement, StarPort will establish an avionics repair and installation shop at Rotortech Services's helicopter service center at Palm Beach International Airport.
Signature Flight Support and NetJets signed a long-term lease that will provide the fractional operator with a dedicated, private terminal at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI). The project, slated for completion in early 2013, will include a 10,000-sq-ft terminal as well as approximately six acres of paved ramp, aircraft movement and car parking areas.

Moody's Investors Service has placed Tata Power Company's (TPC) unsecured bond rating and unsecured foreign currency rating on review for downgrade.
The rating action reflects material covenant breaches on bank debt associated with TPC's Mundra Ultra Mega Power Project (being executed under its 100 per cent subsidiary Coastal Gujarat Pvt Ltd or CGPL), and questions relating to the project's long-term impact on TPC's finance.
The breaches do not constitute a payment default.
"CGPL is in the process of obtaining waivers from several financial institutions for the covenant breaches, but the issue may take several months to resolve," said Mr Ray Tay, Associate Vice-President, analyst and lead analyst for TPC.
"While waivers are being negotiated, TPC will be subject to curtailment of new draws once it reaches the approved level of 83 per cent of the project facility, thereby introducing greater liquidity risk, absent additional bank waivers," he said.
Moody's said the coal-based 4,000 MW Mundra project's value is about Rs 18,000 crore or 30 per cent of its total assets reported in FYE2012.
Financial challenges have created considerable strain and the covenant breaches reflect forex and fuel cost risk at the Mundra project, which has been hit by regulatory changes in Indonesia and the inability to fully pass through fuel costs.
This has led to reduced cash flow and TPC's announcement of booking an impairment on the CGPL assets of Rs 1,800 crore or around 10 per cent of the Mundra project value, as reported in its FYE 3/2012 results. The breaches are related to TPC not meeting its agreed maximum debt to equity ratio and minimum debt service coverage ratios.
Tariffs for CGPL's Power Purchase Agreements combine both fixed and variable elements, including fuel costs, which only benefit from 45 per cent cost pass-through.
CGPL's debt, which is partly funded by dollar loans, are also affected by adverse movements in forex rates, which had seen variance of about 20 per cent in the past 12 months.

Hollow Men: Why Serial Murderers Must Kill To Feel
The Article Page 4
Experts describe possession as something familiar to us all possessiveness taken to its pathological extreme. "Along the continuum of sexual behavior from an innocent kiss to rape-murder," says Robert E. Freeman-Longo, a leading authority on sexual abuse and former director of sex offender treatment at Oregon State Hospital, "possessiveness is first noticeable among intimate, consenting sexual partners, such as married couples. Possession at this level is really jealousy.
"When the behavior is pathological, you don't see possession associated with so-called nuisance crimes, such as exposing yourself or voyeurism, where the only contact is visual. Among rapists you may see a practical need for momentary control, but it's the high-end guys, sadists and rape-killers, where insecurity turns to anger and this idea of possession comes into play."
"They take the objectification of women to a pathological extreme," agrees forensic psychologist J. Reid Meloy, author of a standard text on deviant criminal behavior, The Psychopathic Mind. The key to understanding possession, says Meloy, is narcissism.
"We know from the research that psychopaths have a core, aggressive narcissism that is fundamental to their personality. If you remove that narcissism, you don't have a psychopath."
One hallmark of the narcissist is lack of empathy; they are psychically insulated from those around them. Another is grandiosity. The charismatic and handsome Bundy, arguably the first celebrity serial killer, cemented his image in the public mind by playing to the press at every opportunity, and by acting as his own attorney. Both Angel Resendez and Cary Stayner commented on their cases to reporters, contrary to their attorneys' advice, soon after their arrests this summer.
Stayner told Ted Rowlands of KBWB-TV in San Francisco how he'd skillfully thrown the FBI off his trail after his first three homicides in February. "When you outwit the police, it reinforces your grandiose fantasies," says Meloy even when you're a serial killer manqué.
Henry Lee Lucas, the snaggle-toothed drifter with an IQ in the 80s who may have killed three people, claimed at one time to have murdered more than 600, and easily conned the Texas Rangers into believing such an inadequate lowlife was by far the most prolific serial killer of all time.
"That was a marvelous example of psychopathic manipulation,'' says Meloy. "Lucas was able to prove he was smarter and shrewder than this notable law-enforcement agency."
Resendez, who may not score much higher on a standard IQ test than Lucas, wrote the San Antonio Express-News a three-page letter. In it, he said he'd turned himself in out of love for his infant daughter, a patently absurd claim for a serial bludgeon killer. In a second, 11-page letter to KTRK-TV in Houston, the self-dramatizing Resendez wrote ominously of his "enemy," a scary "creature" inside of him. "I've been fighting this creature all of my life," Resendez reported, "and now I know it is me, so I fear, yes I fear and shake."
Along with obsessively seeking others' awed or admiring attention, the narcissist also believes himself omniscient and even omnipotent. "You can see how control of another person would stimulate those fantasies," observes Meloy.
The narcissist feels entitled, and when he is thwarted, he acts out, just as young children, who are supremely narcissistic, act out. "Think of a toddler raging against an object that won't do what he wants," says Meloy. "I have this image in my mind of a 2-year-old squeezing a puppy's feet. He's attempting to control the animal's behavior, and probably deriving some pleasure from that."
Among adult narcissistic destroyers, the principal animating influence is the green monster envy. "The wish to destroy goodness is probably the simplest definition of envy," says Meloy. "These guys often have pretty barren lives in terms of what we call 'good objects,' and they want to damage or destroy the goodness they cannot have. They need to make the almost intolerable feeling of envy go away, so they take a woman and defile and devalue her, like Bundy plucking the young flowers of the upper middle class. If you can do that completely, she wasn't worth having in the first place, and you've removed the cause for envy."

Backing into the playoffs is no way to make noise, but hey...we are in our first playoff game since 2005 with a rebuilding team! That's some crazy stuff. Who knows if we'll have success, but I'm sure happy to have the AFC West title and to be able to host a game.
- Let's get the party started cause I know I'll hear it in the comments, but here's my no bull take: Tebow is playing scared. He was just refusing to throw the ball downfield for some reason and it looked like the INTs from last week really got to him. I don't know if it was the coaches telling him not to throw it or him just doubting himself, but I don't like it at all. We need his throwing to be a threat or we will not score points...and if we want to do anything in the playoffs we will need more than 3 damn points.
- McGahee deserves an award for his season. He's running against 8 man fronts and winning all day long. Sure do like his game.
- Our WRs did jack and squat to get open if they weren't the primary route. Did anyone else notice this? They looked like they were just running their routes and then squatting. It was awful. Help out your QB and make something happen.
- Kuper was a big time loss. Our pass protection and run blocking suffered after he left...not because of Hochstein, but because we were constantly giving Hoch help and it cost us on the left side.
- Gutsy performance from our D. I thought they played aggressive and tight on KC. Orton didn't burn them and after the 1st quarter they kept McCluster fairly well in check.
- Early game Bailey looked pretty weak in coverage. He was allowing too much cushion for his guys and actually missed some tackles.
- I really liked how our front 4 looked in this game. I hope they all stay put for a long time.
- Bruton made a tremendous play on a long pass from Orton down the sideline...I haven't seen anything tremendous from our safeties in a long time. I hope that is a sign of things to come.
- Mays had a good impact on the game and I foresee him getting a lot of snaps vs Pittsburgh. Both KC and Pittsburgh like to run it and that means Mays will get a chance to audition for MLB next year...cause right now I call him a back up at best.
- Harris is in my mind our #2 CB next year. The kid is just always in position. He does his job and he tackles so well. You just need players like that on the field. At the very least he is our Nickel CB.
- Goodman looked very solid this week...he was constantly in the hip pocket of his man from what I saw.
Special Teams:
- I kept hoping for a big return from Eddie, but KC has a great punter and he never really got a good shot at it. I love how he was trying to make something happen by swinging his run out to the side trying to get KC to make a mistake. Unfortunately they played sound coverage and bottled him up.
- First off early in the game we had a shot at a long FG. It was just stupid not trying to get those first 3 points on the board. I hate this part of having Fox as our coach. He's way too conservative at times. I understand why...KC had just put 7 on us. But man Prater has a cannon for a leg. That FG was so makeable.
- McCoy really REALLY irritated me with the play calling. I know our strength is our run game, but man you can't shackle your QB as much as we did. Between the lack of passing play calls and Tebow crapping his pants not wanting to throw our offense looked completely inept. If I had anything to do with the offensive squad of our team I'd say in a meeting that we need to run the ball yes, but we have to take our shots down field and live with the consequences. Tebow just needs to not throw into double coverage where a safety is on top...those opportunities are there. Throw it up to Decker and Thomas and let them make a play. Trust his arm and that the WRs will either get the ball or make sure no one else does.
- Allen had a great week. After McCluster just broke us in the 1st quarter he adjusted the defense and the guys really shut them down. Especially in the 2nd half. KC couldn't do anything at all when they had the ball.
- Again it is worth stating...the officiating was just horrendous this game. Both Decker and Tebow were facemasked and neither got the call. Both were obvious and the one on Tebow had no business being missed as there is always a ref watching the QB. Am I the only one thinking we are not getting the home-field officiating advantage as much as other teams?

I have to admit that October is one of my favorite months of the year. So many things are happening here in Denver. After such a hot summer, it's great to get some cooler weather moving in.

Hey there, I am just wandering if anyone has ever made the hike to the Zicicle and found it in condition and climbable. What kind of continuous temps (and how for how long) are needed for it to form and what kind of conditions are required to get enough water flow into the canyon? I am from the UK and living out here at the moment and feel it would be a good one to tick off if possible. Any info would be much appreciated!
I'd guess late winter, fairly deep snow pack, melt freeze. Seen it in mid March but looked scary...temps too warm.
I saw a lot of ice forming on the Eastside after a big snowstorm in February. All of this snow fell in one event. I was really wishing for my tools
We've had storms and weather that hasn't been seen in over 75 yrs, I would be willing to say that it is in and you would be spending your time well to go get on it. Maybe thin, but I bet its in. I've been climbing ice in Cedar City, Parawon, Cedar Breaks, Kanaraville for the past 7 days...and its good. The pics that have been coming out of the Narrows have been very encouraging.
I have climbed the Zicicle. It won't even come close to touching down yet. Most of our good steep routes will not be in until January, not unlike the Canadian Rockies really. We need a few freeze thaw cycles. In this particular case it is important for seepage. The snow on top melts, then the seepage freezes. The bottom 30' or so is the crux to this route coming in good enough to lead. If you just want to lower from a tree and top rope it, some of it would be there. But if you knock a bunch down, it will just take that much longer to form up completely. Due to an inversion this week (warmer temps at higher elevation), Hidden Haven was barely hanging on yesterday...so thin, no pro for top half (thin sheet covering running waterfall behind) and that is our most protected less vertical ice, in other words first in and last out climb and representative of conditions in general. This is a picture of me leading it yesterday....
Nice shot. Hidden Haven is a great route, one of the purtier ice climbs in Utah, methinks. Accidently let the Zcicle cat out of the bag a few years back when we tried an early season decent of Englestead. Got popular after the lads (Chaz, etc) went and did it, then, the next season it made the cover of Climbing. Still, its a pretty fickle rig and a long hike/trip just to see if its in.
I think these guys got lucky and caught it in very unusual conditions. 20 January 2007. First ascent? More'n likely. picasaweb.google.com/jared.e.campbell/Zicicle20070120# I've looked in from the rim (March 2006) and for me, was a definate "no go". Frightening location. I'd make sure I had enough rope to jug all the way back out if need be (a 300 foot static rope and the means to ascend it). That's a long drop in. And, like Dow mentions in his summitpost description, if the bottom wasn't formed, its just a smooth slab. Heckuva long walk back to the car (understatement).
Southern Utah Ice Climbs
I have heard people have attempted storming the castle in the winter. It's a 5.6 cobble climb up a gully in second left hand canyon in parowan canyon. I wouldn't be surprised if there is an icicle coming off one of the big cobble beehives back in first or second left hand canyon if the conditions were right. Does Kanaraville falls freeze?
Does anybody know the latest on the new routes Scott Adamson put up in Zion? Apparently he put up 4 new routes in 5 days.
@ Al Benson, January sometime.

GSCE review: Graham Stuart MP gives his reaction
Graham Stuart, MP for Beverley
Graham Stuart, MP for Beverley
Hundreds of pupils and schools - led by a group from Leeds - have lost their legal challenge over GCSE exam grades. They had accused exam boards of unfairly pushing up grade boundaries for English last summer. David Hirst reports.
Hundreds of pupils have lost their unprecedented legal challenge over GCSE English exam grades. High court judges dismissed the challenge.Read the full story
There are at least 400 young people in Leeds whose future's have been left hanging in the balance because of the unfair grading by some examination boards. The option to offer a re-sit is absolutely unacceptable and totally misses the point. This is not an issue of standards it's an issue of fairness in relation to work students have already completed. These young people who, if their GCSE papers had been submitted just six months earlier with the same mark would have been awarded a 'C' grade, but were given a 'D' because of changes to the grade boundaries.
I am shocked Ofqual have suggested the grading in June was 'fair' – this does not help the thousands of young people who are now left without college places or apprenticeships through no fault of their own. We feel there is compelling evidence to formally pursue a judicial review against Ofqual and the examination boards responsible. We will contact the authorities and schools who have already approached us regarding joining forces on any legal action to ensure we get justice for the young people who have been so unfairly treated.
– Councillor Judith Blake, executive board member responsible for children's services
We urge college leaders and Further Education providers to be sympathetic to the young people who are affected by this to ensure they are not penalised for the examination boards' mistake and Ofqual's lack of action."
Exam regulator Ofqual say, as a result of their findings, they have agreed:
We have found that examiners acted properly, and set the boundaries using their best professional judgement, taking into account all of the evidence available to them. The June boundaries have been properly set, and candidates' work properly graded. _The issue is not the June, but the January boundaries. Again, examiners used their best judgement in setting these boundaries, but they had less data and information to work with.
Most candidates were not sitting at the time, they were waiting for June, and because they were new qualifications, examiners could not rely so much on direct comparisons with the past. As a result, those grade boundaries were set generously. We have thought carefully about what should be done, and spoken with external assessment experts about it. Our job is to maintain standards over time, so grades awarded are comparable from one year to the next.
A Sheffield student who achieved top grades says home education can work right up to A level.
Very few home-educated pupils continue to learn in this way past GCSEs.
But Eli Ingle, 19, achieved two A stars - in business studies and sociology - and has now found out he has an A in psychology.
He said he thought about going back to college for A-levels but he and his family had enjoyed his home education so much he wanted to carry on.
Mr Ingle, who is the grandson of well-known Sheffield boxing trainer Brendan Ingle, has been educated at home since the age of 13. His sister Niamh, 17, who has also been home-educated, got an A in sociology and a B in psychology.
Provisional results for York school sixth forms show that 28% of entries were awarded A star/A grades, which are higher than the national figure. Over 78% of entries were given a top grade of A star, A, B or C.
– Councillor Janet Looker
We would like to congratulate all young people, schools and families on their achievement this year. Once again, York pupils have produced an excellent set of A level results and we are absolutely delighted for them. It is important to remember the impact of each individual student's results on plans for their future – and we wish them all every success as they embark upon the next stage of their lives".

Will someone please tell me what is wrong with the people who run this country? Political party does not matter! "They" have not produced a budget in four years! With a national debt of $16 trillion, we are "broke" and can not help our own seniors, veterans, disabled, orphans, homeless and the list goes on.
Yet we can provide billions of dollars in "foreign aid" to Haiti, Chile, Pakistan, Libya, Egypt, Turkey, Japan, China just to name a few parasites and we get nothing in return. Several of those countries even foster terrorism against us! The "bribes" are not working!
Our retired seniors, living on fixed incomes, receive no aid, nor do they get any breaks while our government and various religious organizations provide hundreds of billions of dollars and tons of food to these parasite countries!
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
The United States is a country where we have homeless without shelter, veterans without care, children going to bed hungry, elderly without essential medications and mentally ill going without treatment.
Just imagine the changes that would occur if our government gave Americans the same support they give to other countries! Among other things, we would be spending those hundreds of billions of dollars on ourselves!
As my today's T-shirt proclaimed, "I Love My Country, It's the Government I Am Afraid Of!"

Can't afford GOP
It is amazing that anyone connected with reality could vote to put the Republicans back in the presidency. We are still recovering from the damage they did the last time they held it. During that time they took a balanced federal budget and, through a combination of tax cuts and reckless spending, created massive federal deficits. They took a strong economy and drove it into two major recessions, which we still suffer from. They started two pointless wars, at the cost of thousands of American lives and billions of American dollars. We were regarded by most of the world as a rogue nation. Every year under them American oil production declined, driving us further into energy dependence.
Under President Obama things have completely turned around. He saved the American auto industry, preserving millions of jobs. His stimulus plan ended the recession and has created more jobs and lower unemployment every year. He has ended one of the wars and is on schedule to end the other. We are once again regarded internationally as a world leader. Osama bin Laden has been disposed of and Muammar Gaddafi taken down, these without cost of a single American life.
He has decreased discretionary federal spending (the part over which the president has influence) every year. Every year of his administration our oil production has gone up, taking us closer to energy independence. We now produce so much gasoline that it has become our largest export! And we finally have a national health care program, that is already benefiting millions and will result in millions more being covered, at a savings of billions of dollars.
We can't afford to let the Republicans back into office and put us back where we were four years ago!

Sketchy Comedy Conflicting responses to 30 Rock: they average out to "wrong," but it's an interesting peek into the mind of someone who – like most people, apparently – doesn't "get" 30 Rock.
Joe Mulder — Wed, 12/3/08 12:45pm
Fey was better at ["Weekend Update"] than her two immediate predecessors, Norm MacDonald and Colin Quinn.
I don't think we have to take seriously the opinion of someone who even entertains the notion that it's humanly possible to be better than Norm Macdonald at "Weekend Update."
Bee Boy — Wed, 12/3/08 5:50pm
Absolutely. Once the author started questioning the feminist message of 30 Rock, the ringing in my ears drowned out pretty much everything else.

The wind was blowing out today. Don't believe me? Look at the score! Sheesh.
- There were 8 HRs hit on the day, including 5 by the Reds. Chris Dickerson hit 2 home runs, plus Joey Votto, Laynce Nix, and Craig Tatum added to the fun.
- Tatum's home run was a grand slam that gave the Reds a 12-11 lead.
- Votto had two hits on the day, including his second home run of the Spring. I wish the season was starting tomorrow. Dude is rocking right now.
- The Reds made two more outs on the bases today. By my count, that's 7 in 5 games. (Did I miss any from yesterday's game?) I know it's just the Spring, but seriously, this kind of stuff needs to be fixed soon.
- The pitchers didn't really have a shot today. It sounds like every flyball to the outfield had a shot at going out. Harang gave up 3 runs in 3 IP, including a HR to Brett Gardner. It was a formidable Yankees lineup, so I'm not too concerned this early in Spring.
- David Weathers, Arthur Rhodes, and Francisco Cordero did not do much to give me confidence about the bullpen. They gave up 8 ER in their combined 3 innings pitched. Very veterany.
- The youngsters out of the pen performed much better, as Ben Jukich, James Avery, and Justin Smith closed out the game with 3 shutout innings, albeit against lesser competition.
The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game is Chris Dickerson who went 3 for 3 with 2 HR and 4 RBI on the day. Dickerson receives a $50 gift certificate to the Church of Baseball blog.

Harvest Festival Remembered
What a joy it was to gather last weekend for our annual Harvest Festival. Highlights included the decorations of garland and hay bales, the excellent staging of the play, teacher Shannon's sharing on the St. Michael archetype, the bountiful potluck with rich presentation of soup, and the fun, professional music and dance. Thank you to every one who made this lovely event possible. In these gatherings I am always filled with gratitude for the beauty and capacity of our Blue Oak community.
No School on Friday October 5th. Teachers will be enjoying professional development work on this day.
Mrs. Chew's second grade class is at it again this year with their Halloween Costume Resale. Media/violence free costumes will be on sale in the back on pizza Thursdays and everyday after school out front starting October 22nd. If you have a costume to donate please do so in the box up in the front office right next to Beth.
Mr. Gilmore our games teachers reports that games classes are going well and that students are striving to learn the basics so that they can move on to more challenging activities. He needs students to come to class with shoes appropriate for physical activity. Many students have been coming to the office during games class lately to call home on this issue. Please make sure your student is prepared with closed-toe shoes.
If you have not already received a list of planned field trips for the year and their approximate cost, expect to receive one soon from your class teacher. Field trips are a vital element in the curriculum at a Waldorf inspired school and we want all students to participate. If you do not intend to pay for your students' fieldtrips, make sure you are communicating with other parents about fundraising for your class. This is very important to our school's fiscal well being.
We are delighted to announce the hiring of Summer O'Neill and Monica McDaniel-Berg who will share the newly created Community Coordinator position. These two parents bring a wealth of expertise to volunteerism, communication, community building, and outreach in our school. Thank you both!

So despite all the woes that a Blazer season brings any diehard fan, I found this to be pretty interesting.
For anyone not watching Sportscenter or listening to sports radio, there has been this emergence of a guy in New York calling himself Jeremy Lin. Now, some call it "Linsanity" (me, personally, don't want to insult him by refering to Vince Carter and the very short-lived era that was "Vince-sanity"), and others think they are just oh-so clever because they can substitute "in" with "Lin." It's Lin-corrigible and Lin-noying. All that really matters to me is how this relates to Portland.
Thus, allow me to bring you this segue. On the nationally broadcast and televised Dan Patrick Show (Fox Sports radio and DirecTV), Dan had on Ed Weiland, a FedEx driver who also writes for hoopsanalyst.com. He speaks of how he "called" the success of Jeremy Lin based on number crunching. When asked if he had ever "missed on anybody recently with [his] statistical data," Ed replied,
"Um, well the big one is LaMarcus Aldridge, um, a few years ago. I - I had him as a career back-up. And um, you know, his play has kind of shoved that back into my face pretty good."
For anyone wanting to listen to that 10 second bit, I am unsure of how to post the audio, but I can at least provide the link. The above reference occurs Feb. 17, in hour 3, almost exactly 8 minutes in (I guess you can find it for free on iTunes too).
It's just nice to know LMA is still shoving it in someone's face while he's sidelined with that ankle.

Katharine McPhee & Nick Cokas: Deep Into Marriage Counseling
It's no secret that Tinseltown can wreak havoc on marriages and Katharine McPhee and Nick Cokas have learned that lesson first hand.
After she had an affair with married director Michael Morris last year, the "Smash" starlet repented for her sins and hopes to patch things up with her hubby through marital counseling.
Although she and Cokas were "separated" at the time of the indiscretion, Katharine was obviously embarrassed to get caught with Morris and ever since she's been working her way back into Nick's heart.
An insider told press, "Katharine and Nick are working on their marriage," a claim that was substantiated when the reunited lovers were spotted walking their three dogs together in Los Angeles on Monday (March 10).
