Raymond Bean: I loved everything by Dr. Seuss. My earliest book memory as a reader were the Frog and Toad books by Arnold Lobel. I remember loving that they were short stories I could read on my own. I thought Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume was HYSTERICAL! My fourth grade teacher read it to my class and I remember laughing along with the story. I enjoy reading it to my class to this day. Judy Blume's Fudge series opened my eyes to books in a series, and I read many Hardy Boys and Encyclopedia Brown books. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlotte's Web were books I read over and over. A book about Yogi Berra was the first nonfiction title I remember loving. Being a big baseball and basketball fan, I read about my favorite players and loved learning sports facts and trivia.
Question: Were you a reluctant reader?
Raymond Bean: There were times when I had books I was reading that I loved and couldn't put down. There were also periods I remember when I couldn't find books that I liked and wanted to read. I remember those periods being frustrating because I wanted to read, but had trouble finding something that connected with me. For example, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing spoke to me--I felt like I knew Peter Hatcher. He spoke and thought like my friends and me and felt like one of the guys. There weren't enough books that made me feel like "one of the guys." I think this is true of most "reluctant readers." It's not that they don't want to read, it's usually that they can't find that book that speaks to them and they want to read.
Question: Did any books or authors influence you in your teaching or writing careers?
Raymond Bean: I think every book I ever loved helped to influence my teaching and writing. Seeing the movie Stand By Me had a huge impact on me when I was young. The characters seemed so real to me and it was that time period when I remember wanting to create stories. I later learned that Stand By Me was written by Stephen King and was part of a collection of four novellas in the book Different Seasons.
Chris Elliot, the comedian, published a book called Daddy's Boy. It was quick reading and ridiculously funny. It made me want to write silly stories of my own.
Question: What would you say to the parents, teachers, or librarians who feel that "bathroom humor"" is a discredit to the general book world?
Raymond Bean: I think the genre plays an important role in bringing the most reluctant readers to the bookshelf. For many reluctant readers, this genre is proof that books can be a good time! Books like Captain Underpants, The Day My Butt Went Psycho, and Sweet Farts appeal to children because they are silly and fun. Kids like silly and fun. If you have ever listened to elementary grade children talk for an extended period of time you know that they are generally very silly. Isn't being silly a big part of the fun in growing up? I believe that many students build their reading confidence in this genre. Perhaps it helps them complete their first chapter book and then they are hungry for more.
Question: Your wife has called Sweet Farts "a smart book with a silly title." Please explain.
Raymond Bean: I think she explains it perfectly. The Sweet Farts series is more than books about flatulence. There are also connections to science and history woven throughout. They are books that are written with the reluctant reader, the parent, the librarian, and the teacher in mind, and I think they will all find something to love about the series.

Allentown native designs first lady's inauguration dress
Updated On: Jan 22 2013 05:45:23 AM CST
On Inauguration Day, all eyes in the fashion world are on first lady Michelle Obama -- and on the Allentown native who designed her dress. It's a huge break that could make Thom Browne an even bigger force in the fashion industry.
"I'm just so fortunate, and so honored, and so proud that she chose mine," Browne said Monday from Paris.
Some have already called Browne the most influential name in fashion since Ralph Lauren. He's best known for revolutionizing menswear with his edgy skinny suits.
"He's the reason that a lot of men are wearing smaller suits," said Wall Street Journal fashion columnist Christina Binkley.
In addition to his shrunken designs, Browne is also known for some extreme runway shows.
"I will never forget the time that his show involved the models climbing out of coffins," said Binkley. "Every time it's a spectacle. It's a drama, and it's complete theatre."
But it wasn't always this way. In 1984, Browne was just a senior at William Allen High.
"We couldn't be prouder," said his brother, Pennsylvania state Sen. Pat Browne, R - Allentown. "To have your work being displayed and exhibited on the biggest day of democracy in every four years is just extraordinary."
Even in high school, Thom Browne was singled out for his fashion sense in the William Allen yearbook. But he was mainly known for athletics.
"He was a great swimmer, great tennis player," said his brother.
Browne is already a major name in menswear. In addition to his own line of suits, he's also collaborated with Brooks Brothers and Moncler. But he only recently ventured into women's clothing.
Television host Carson Kressley, also a Lehigh Valley native, said Michelle Obama could be Browne's big break with ladies.
"She's a real woman, and even though she's very influential -- she's on a lot of TV screens today -- she's just like everyone else," said Kressley.
Not only do women relate to Michelle Obama, but they also buy her clothes. After she wore a J. Crew dress on The Tonight Show in 2008, sales jumped 64 percent.
In spite of his fashion fame, Browne's brother said success has not changed him.
"Not at all," said Pat Browne. "Thom has always been a very down to earth person."

Friends of Animals is low on funds and in a near-constant state of living "hand to mouth," but Conatser keeps on taking in needy felines, and she plus a small band of other volunteers, forge ahead in hard times, she said.
"We don't give up on any of them," Conatser said.
In what is an increasingly more frequent scenario these days, Conatser said she has found cardboard boxes along streets and roads full of tiny kittens, hungry, filthy and covered in fleas.
The housing foreclosure crisis also has resulted in cats and kittens left abandoned inside empty homes, or in cages on back porches and yards without food or water, Conatser said.
Within the home Conatser shares with her mother, Ruby Waderich, kittens get fed and cleaned up. At 8 weeks old, they can be put up for adoption.
Friends of Animals has been hit with a double financial whammy -- the recession, plus impacts of a former employee allegedly embezzling money from its coffers, both Conatser and Waderich said.
The Benicia Police Department is investigating the case, and working with the District Attorney's office to have it prosecuted, Lt. Mike Daley said, adding at least "tens of thousands of dollars" are missing.
But regardless of the condition of the group's coffers, Friends of Animals volunteers keep working, steered by the belief that nearly every kitten that comes to them will find a home.
"There's somebody who loves that cat somewhere," Conatser said.
Encouraging people to spay and neuter their animals is another primary goal, Waderich said. Recently, the group took 30 kittens and cats up to the Napa Humane Society for the procedures, she said.
With so few financial resources, every dime made at weekend adoptions goes immediately into buying food and supplies, Waderich said.
Some volunteers buy food and other items out of their own pockets, including the 10 Vallejo and Benicia families who foster kittens and cats in their home.
If more people agreed to serve as foster homes, the group could help even more abandoned kittens and cats recover into full health and get put up for adoption, Conatser said.
With kitten season in full swing, the organization is in dire need of baby food, kitten formula or monetary donations.
Raising a kitten which has been taken too soon from its mother can cost up to $150 per kitten, Waderich and Conatser said. That amount often does not include other medical procedures that might be needed, they said.
Adoption fees are $75 for young cats, and $50 for older ones. A senior special allows someone to adopt an older cat for $25.
Volunteer Diana Lang of Vallejo is so grateful for finding her new cat, Theo, through Friends of Animals she now volunteers her time, and encourages others to try to help out where they can.
She is planning an Oct. 2 fundraiser and upgrading the group's Web site and Facebook page.
"They do what other organizations don't -- they take the cats that others would put down," Lang said, adding that other animal rescue groups might have given up on her kitten, who was near death when volunteers rescued him .
"They have huge hearts," she said.
To donate to Solano County Friends of Animals send checks to P.O. Box 235, Benicia, Calif., 94510. For more details call 552-3323, send e-mail to email@example.com., go to www.solanocountyfoa.org, or find the group on Facebook.
Adoptions are held Saturday and Sunday afternoons at Pet Food Express in the Southampton Center in Benicia, and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays at the PetCo in Vallejo.

Getting into an accident can be frustrating enough, but then finding out the person who hit you has no insurance can be another blow!
We continue our in depth look in "Part II: On The Road & Uninsured." Each year, thousands of people are injured or lose money because of uninsured drivers. In many cases, the victims are people who pay their own auto insurance premiums.
Even though many of the victims have uninsured and under-insured coverage on their plans, it's not always enough to cover all of the medical bills or lost property, not to mention the pain and sufferring.
It's been months since Tracy Dermody has had a simple day. The 32-year-old is still recovering from serious injuries, she's the victim of an uninsured driver. "I hit my face on her windshield and I slid across the cement into the curb and I screamed really loud and felt an instant burning.
It just completely changes your life, one minute you're happy, working, everything going smooth. The next minute you're mangled in the hospital, don't know if you're going to lose your house, don't know if you're going to lose your truck, your job," adds Dermody.
Unfortunately, Tracy did lose her job, a hard hit for this independent woman, now stuck with huge medical bills on top of her regular bills.
"I've never fallen behind in payments. I fell behind on my mortgage, my truck," says Dermody.
Hope Halasz can relate. Just last month, she was driving home, after class at IUSB. The next thing she remembers was waking up in a ditch on U.S. 31 in Lakeville. She too, the victim of an uninsured driver.
"My car spun around, I just remember going into the ditch, coming forward and hitting my head on some part of my car," says Hope. "Just the emotional of getting the phone call that every parent dreads," says Hope's dad Jim. "That your son or daughter has been in an accident, racing up there to the scene. The picture of her car when I got out-- was oh gosh, she's ok."
The trunk of Hope's car was pushed all the way into the back seat. Luckily, she made it out ok- but the family is stuck with medical bills and they're out the convenience of a vehicle. "What can you do?" asks Jim Halasz. "Because, you know, this guy is driving without a license, it's suspended, he has no insurance. There's three things right there, they shouldn't allow him to get in a vehicle."
Five months since her accident, Tracy is now looking for a job and working with a lawyer to pay her bills. "My hospital stay alone was 15-thousand," says Dermody. "I'm so lucky I have uninsured or under-insured. If not, all of the bills would fall on me. I could try to go after this lady, but if I'm the third person she hit, I'll probably get 20 bucks a week."
You heard Tracy correctly, this is the third time the woman who hit her got in an accident. That woman not only walked away from the accident but the bills too. Tracy's lawyer Jeff Stesiak says the woman responsible was ticketed and fined for driving without insurance. And because the woman who hit her is uninsured, Stesiak says Tracy will only partially be reimbursed for damages and pain and sufferring.
"Is it a vicious cycle? I'd have to say yes," says Stesiak.
So how can you protect yourself from uninsured drivers?
Insurance companies encourage you to look into getting uninsured and under-insured coverage on your insurance policy, if you don't have it already. Those plans vary from state-to-state, but usually don't cost that much to add on.
Looking back on their harrowing experiences behind the wheel, both Hope and Tracy hope those without insurance will think before they get behind the wheel again.
"The car can be replaced, all that can be, we can take care of the medical bills, the best thing- she's walking around, the car was bad- but it could have been a lot worse," says Jim Halasz.
"Hello! I'm a victim, it does happen to people, you don't always get away with it! That's why the law is there, you need insurance, you never know what is going to happen," adds Dermody.
Again, the hard part is there is no easy solution to this problem. From lawmakers to law enforcement, to insurance agents-- everyone we spoke with agrees that it's very difficult to find and keep uninsured drivers off the roads. Even though your rates typically don't go up if the accident is deemed not your fault-- everyone who pays insurance is paying for the uninsured.
Again, the best way to protect yourself: Talk to your auto insurance agent and figure out exactly what your auto insurance plan covers and practice defensive driving.

Comparative Spatial Transfer Function of Six Different Stereophonic Systems
The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology allowing a subjective comparison of different stereophonic systems, in close relation to the acoustical environment. This comparison is based upon three criteria highly relevant in the field of space information: Localisation, Apparent distance and Clarity. Three comparative experiments of six different stereophonic coincident and closely-spaced microphones are described. Experimental results are discussed on the basis of their practical aspects.

Produced by Guillermo del Toro, this marks Juan Antonio Bayona's feature film directorial debut, after apparently working as director of various music videos in his home country of Spain. Leave it to Spain to bring back an old school haunted house tale, which has seemingly been forgotten in this modern age of torture porn, needless sequels, and horrible remakes. This also makes the first film in years to actually give me a jolt while sitting in my seat, which is something that rarely ever happens since I'm pretty much used to all the old tricks from the genre. The great thing about this movie is that it doesn't rely on a large budget, special effects, or blood and guts to keep the viewers interested. This is just a simple ghost tale that, with good storytelling, actors, lighting, and directing, makes for an overall great and tense watch.
The film follows a woman named "Laura," who decides to purchase the old orphanage from which she once lived in while growing up as a little girl. While living in the orphanage she had many friends, who've since made her realize how much of an impact they've had on her life overtime. In what seemed like a good idea at the time turns into a nightmare, when their over-imaginative son makes a new invisible friend. It doesn't take long before the son turns up missing, leaving Laura in shambles, blaming herself for his disappearance. The only clue points to a strange elderly woman who visited their home days before the son's disappearance. Peculiar things begin to occur to Laura, leaving her to believe that maybe her believed-to-be-dead son or the children who once lived in the orphanage are trying to tell her something.
The movie relies heavily on atmosphere and storytelling, making many scenes fairly creepy. The part that got me only worked, because it came out of nowhere and was somewhat grotesque and shocking. Then you've also got a little kid going around in a creepy sack for a mask (gotta make me one of those for Halloween this year). This shouldn't come as a surprise, but the remake rights have already been purchased by New Line, who plans to move forward with the film whenever they secure a writer. I can pretty much guarantee that if a remake does happen that it'll be nowhere near as effective or creepy as this one. Hopefully director Juan Antonio Bayona sticks with the genre and delivers another solid effort. I'll be keeping my eyes out for his next venture.
The film's storytelling and atmosphere effectively brings back the once forgotten haunted house tale. Although the storyline was somewhat predictable, the delivery was still pulled off well. Worth a check if you're looking for a smart little creepy haunted house flick.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - When Jamal Williams was trying to latch on and build a career with the San Diego Chargers in 1998, he was a victim of rookie hazing like all first-year players.
"They shaved off my eyebrows, so I had no facial expressions," Williams recalled this week. "So after awhile, guys were like, 'We don't know if he's happy, sad, or what."'
Reading his emotions this week is a similar challenge.
Williams, 34, played a dozen seasons with the Chargers but will be making his first appearance at Qualcomm Stadium as a visiting player when the Denver Broncos (3-6) head to San Diego (4-5) on Monday night. San Diego released him March 4, and just five days later, its AFC West rivals signed the nose tackle to a three-year contract.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - San Jose councilmembers have approved a measure that allows residents to shoot wild pigs that have become a nuisance by ripping up lawns and golf course fairways.
The San Jose Mercury News reports the council voted 8-3 on Tuesday to permit the shooting that will remain in effect for three months.
Councilman Johnny Khamis says it's not his intention to commit a pig genocide but he's concerned the pigs may attack residents.
Dozens of the 200-pound pigs have been spotted in South San Jose this fall. Some people have reported thousands of dollars in damage as the pigs try to dig up food under the grass.
Those who are thinking about shooting a pig has to obtain a depredation permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Have you tuned into Lyric U? Check out our new video library, which starts with an in-depth exploration of the baritone in opera with Sir Andrew Davis, Anthony Freud, and Renée Fleming. Plus, check out some video highlights of the greatest baritone arias on stage this season.
Have you tuned into Lyric U? It's Lyric's new resource for things opera, giving everyone an easy way to explore, discover, and engage. Whether you're new to the art form and looking for Opera 101 or an aficionado who wants to earn a PhD in Advanced Opera Studies, let Lyric U guide the way with this ever-expanding video library.
One of the new features on Lyric U is "From Soprano to Bass: Exploring Voice in Opera." Sir Andrew Davis, Renée Fleming, and Anthony Freud are your guides through the seven different categories of the human voice in this in-depth video series.
The first video in the series focuses on the baritone. This vocal range might be stuck in the middle of tenor and bass, but the baritone is definitely not a voice that can be easily overlooked. Some of the most famous roles in opera are portrayed by baritones-the ultimate bad boy in Mozart's Don Giovanni, the resourceful fixer Figaro in Rossini's The Barber of Seville, the king of the gods Wotan in Wagner's Ring cycle, and the great title roles in Verdi's Rigoletto, Falstaff, and Simon Boccanegra.
Want to hear more? Below are video samples of some of the great baritone showcases that you can hear as part of Lyric's 2014-15 season.
Il Trovatore - "Il balen del suo sorriso"
In Act 2 "The Gypsy" of Verdi's Il Trovatore, the villainous Count di Luna sings of his devotion to Leonora, who has decided to enter a convent because she believes her true love Manrico is dead. Though di Luna's song speaks to a beautiful love, he is actually plotting to kidnap her - thinking that the convent is the only obstacle to their happiness. Ryan Opera Center alum Quinn Kelsey takes on the role at Lyric from October 27 to November 29.
(Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Metropolitan Opera, 2011)
Porgy and Bess - "I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'"
This quintessential American opera has many timeless songs, including "Summertime" and "Bess, You Is My Woman Now, but one of Porgy's most famous arias is this ode to his simple life. Lyric favorite Eric Owens brings this iconic role to Chicago from November 17 to December 20.
(Lawrence Winters, Columbia Masterworks recording, 1951)
Tosca - Te Deum
Scarpia, the police chief who is ruthlessly hunting the rebel artist Cavaradossi, sings of his lust and terrible plan to force Tosca into loving him, against the backdrop of a prayer. This season, two singers take on this villianous role: Evgeny Nikitin (Lyric debut, January 24 to February 5) and Mark Delavan (February 27 to March 14).
(George Gagnidze, Metropolitan Opera, 2009)
Tannhäuser - "O du mein holder Abendstern" (Song of the Evening Star)
This aria from Act 3 of Tannhäuser is in the pantheon of one of the most beautiful arias ever written, and is one of Wagner's most haunting melodies. Wolfram von Eschenbach loves the faithful and chaste Elisabeth, but she is in love with Tannhäuser; in this aria, he has a premonition of her death. Gerald Finley stars as Wolfram at Lyric from February 9 to March 6.
(Peter Mattei, Staatsoper Berlin, 2014)
Don Giovanni - "Deh vieni all finestra"
While posing as his right-hand man Leporello, Don Giovanni serenades the maid of his former conquest Donna Elvira with this lovely aria from Act Two. Mariusz Kwiecień stars in Lyric's hot-blooded new production through October 29.

The week of July 7, the creative team for Lyric's world premiere opera Bel Canto (opening in 2015!), gathered in Chicago for several days of intensive work on the project. Read on to get a glimpse of this work-in-progress.
The week of July 7, the creative team for Lyric's world premiere opera Bel Canto (opening in December 2015!), gathered in Chicago for several days of intensive work on the project. Composer Jimmy López, librettist Nilo Cruz, and director Kevin Newbury were on hand to listen to the completed portions of the score in a version for two pianos and vocals, conducted by Sir Andrew Davis.
This was the first time that any members of the team had heard the music sung. Almost the entire Ryan Opera Center ensemble participated in these working sessions, taking on not only the main roles but doubling the minor characters plus chorus parts as well.
The days of work culminated with a reading of four scenes (two from Act One and two from Act Two) that have been completed. The session was opened up to a small group of journalists and sponsors and was followed by a Q&A with the creative team and Lyric's general Director Anthony Freud.
Here are just a few of the fascinating details that were revealed:

2015 is going to be a busy year for Lyric Unlimited, which is presenting three world premieres and a brand-new family performance! Read more about these great new projects, which include a klezmer opera and a zoo opera!
2015 is going to be a busy year for Lyric Unlimited, which is presenting three world premieres and a brand-new family performance! Lyric General Director Anthony Freud and Lyric Unlimited Director Cayenne Harris take you through these exciting new projects:
Adapted from the acclaimed graphic novel by Rutu Modan, The Property tells the story of Regina Segal and her granddaughter Mica, who travel to modern Warsaw to try to regain family property lost during World War II. As their journey unfolds, Regina is forced to confront painful truths about her past, while Mica realizes their reasons for coming might not be all that they seemed.
This world-premiere opera is being composed by Wlad Marhulets and will be in the klezmer style. Stephanie Fleischmann and Eric Einhorn have adapted the novel and will act as librettist and director, respectively.
The Property will be presented in partnership with the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts at the University of Chicago and will be performed at that venue and at Skokie's North Shore Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets go on sale on July 1!
Let's all go to the zoo! In August 2015, Lyric Unlimited presents world premiere of a new children's opera, Second Nature, at the beautiful and historic Lincoln Park Zoo. Second Nature is set in the not-so-distant future, when the environment has deteriorated and humans have decided it's safer to live in zoo-like habitats that protect them from the outside world. Encouraged by the other animal inhabitants, two young children dare to explore the world outside the walls to see if there is still something worth saving.
American composer Matthew Aucoin is both composer and librettist, and Matthew Ozawa directs. This new presentation is recommended for families with children ages 8 to 12. And best of all, it's free and open to the public!
Preview performances for the highly anticipated mariachi opera El Pasado Nunca Se Termina have been added at Benito Juaréz Community Academy in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood and Waukegan's historic Genesee Theatre. Tickets for these previews are available July 1. Seats for the world-premiere performances right here at Lyric are available now!
And tickets for The Magic Victrola are available right now, so save your seats today for this all-new family concert with music from Mozart's The Magic Flute, Bizet's Carmen, and other beloved operatic masterworks.

For three years, "Living Buildings"—buildings that generate their own energy from renewable resources, capture and treat all the water they use, reclaim pre-developed sites, and fulfill a host of other requirements—have set the standard for green building.
Editor's Note: Buildings account for 71% of America's electricity use and 38% of all greenhouse-gas emissions, according to the Department of Energy. The Living Building Certification program not only requires buildings to bring the imported energy use of a building down to zero, but also includes goals pertaining to social justice, beauty, livability and universal access. It is far more comprehensive than the better known green building certification program called LEED.

Ipupiara, whose name translates to "Fresh Water Dolphin", was born into the indigenous Ureu-eu-wau-wau – the "People of the Stars" – when the tribe numbered 2,400 in 1943. Because their Amazon rainforests contain minerals, oil, and precious resources the Ureu-eu-wau-wau have been severely exploited during Ipupiara's lifetime and only 42 survive...
Editor's Note from Peter Clark: Llyn Roberts was a long time friend of Ipupiara Peixoto. She had many amazing experiences with him, and this article recounts one of deep spiritual connection and shamanic healing. Ipu, also known as Bernardo Peixoto, was a multi-talented man whose impact was/is/will be felt in countless lives. A double PhD, speaker of many languages, consultant to the Smithsonian Institute, shamanic ambassador bridging several cultures, educator and healer, Ipu was cofounder of Native Cultural Alliance, an organization dedicated to the preservation and sharing of native cultures and wisdom.

A cancer diagnosis brings overwhelming feelings, a multitude of appointments, a sense of managing a second job for which the pay is fatigue, possible hair loss and a tired debit card laden with co-pays.

Silver amalgam dental fillings are actually only 35% silver. 50% or more of the amalgam is mercury – which is the 2nd most toxic metal on this planet, and the most toxic non-radioactive metal. The manifestations of chronic low-grade mercury poisoning tend to start 3 to 10 years after placing mercury in the mouth.
Editor's Note: This article explains some of the history of amalgam fillings, what they are made up of, and signs that they may need to be removed. Dr. Melos also offers some great resources on where we find more information about mercury exposure.

I subscribe to a lot of email newsletters and there are several that I would greatly miss if I stopped receiving them. But I can't think of one missive that I receive on a regular basis that I would say I "can't wait" to open.
This is not the case with your average bargain shopper. According to a report compiled by eMarketer, more than half the people who subscribe to deal newsletters are excited to get them to the point where they "can't wait" to see what's inside.
I love shopping. I love deals, but really? Part of me wants to suggest that these people need a hobby, but the marketing part of me says, yippee! This is great news. And it gets better. Remember the concept of deal fatigue? Guess it's not happening. . . yet.

Graham Black
Eligible for draft:
5th round (135th overall), 2012
173 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2009-10: Black skated for the Regina Pat Canadians midget AAA team in Saskatchewan and was the team's second-leading scorer. In 42 games he scored 22 goals with 27 assists and had 40 penalty minutes. Regina finished ninth in the 12-team league; missing the SMHL playoffs.
2010-11: Black appeared in six games with Swift Current after the Broncos acquired his WHL rights from the Edmonton Oil Kings in December. Black was an assistant captain and the league's leading scorer for the SMHL's Regina Pat Canadians prior to joining Swift Current. In six games with the Broncos he scored 1 goal with 1 assist and was minus-four. The Broncos missed the playoffs; finishing with the WHL's second-worst record. Playiing for the Pat Canadians, Graham scored a league-high 47 goals and led the SMHL with 76 points in 43 games. Regina finished fifth in the SMHL; falling to the Notre Dame Argos in the playoffs. Black scored 7 goals with 3 assists in the five-game series.
2011-12: Black emerged as a strong two-way forward in his first full WHL season with Swift Current. Playing on a Broncos team that showed improvement (fifth in the six-team East Division) but missed the playoffs, Black was plus-three (the second-best mark on the team). He scored 17 goals with 33 assists and had 49 penalty minutes in 71 games. The modest numbers were fourth-best on a team that struggled to score. In his second year of draft eligibility, Black was ranked 83rd amongst North American skaters in Central Scouting's final rankings prior to the 2012 NHL Draft and was selected by New Jersey in the fifth round (135th overall).
2012-13: Black was the third-leading scorer for Swift Current in his second WHL season. Black's 24 goals were second only to Adam Lowry (45) among Broncos and he also had 26 assists; finishing +4 with 33 penalty minutes in 68 regular season games. He missed two games late in the season due to illness but skated in all five games in the playoff series with Calgary. Black had 1 goal with 3 assists and was -2 with 2 penalty minutes against the Hitmen.
Talent Analysis
Black can contribute in all facets of the game with his on-ice smarts and tenacious two-way play. He's an above-average skater with good vision, passing skills, and a sneaky shot release. However it's Black's play away from the puck that really stands out. He works tremendously hard in the defensive zone, and is a keen and responsible checker. He excels in the face-off circle and shows a lot of grit and determination when it comes to helping out his team at the other end of the rink.
After beating Graves' disease, Black's future has never been brighter. He earned an entry-level contract in the spring and will begin his pro career in the minors. He could develop into a quality depth player who can chip in offensively.

Modern-day ninja in epic battle with riot police, robot
A man who was plainly an invincible ninja warrior or similar tangled with police in Maryland recently. The sword-wielding scofflaw successfully resisted ordinary meatbag cops, a police robot, gassing with a "chemical agent" and a volley of low-velocity cosh projectiles from a SWAT team before finally succumbing to the crippling …
You disappoint me
no pirates?
I'm cancelling my subscription forthright.
That's no ninja
1) He didn't disappear in a puff of smoke
2) He was using a sword against people with guns
Sounds more like a boring old Samurai to me. Real ninja were quite keen on the whole 'common sense' thing.
samurais used guns
they just weren't considered the pinnacle of honour.
a proper ninja wouldn't *need* a gun, just the sword. or failing that, their sharp ninja senses could be used if no blade was to hand.
i agree he isn't a ninja because a ninja would have killed the swat team by deflecting their non-lethal projectiles back at them with lethal velocity using only ninja chi, crushing the cops' pathetic meat-encased skeletons, and subsequently disappeared in the confusion, covering their retreat with caltrops and a hail of shurikens.
doubtless had a real ninja be involved, either there would be no headline or it would read:
"he brought a sword to a gunfight, bemoans surviving multiple amputee"
Title required
You have been watching those 1980's "C" grade ninja movies again, haven't you?
Sword vs Copper
Especially true for an American copper, all of those donuts would render most swords insufficiently long to inflict the necessary perforation of important organs.... they would just get swallowed by layer upon layer of blubber. At this point the nija would have to launch a devasting but accurate kick to push the sword further in but would probably end up with their feet encased in the large quantity of lard.
Clearly not a ninja
As the police were able to find him in the first place when he obviously did not want to be found, he also failed to escape using smoke bombs or some similar diversion.
Playmobil or it never happened!
As above
@Playmobil or it never happened!
Here's a jpg of the playmobile ninja:
cunning ninjas
I looked up Ninja on dictionary.com the other day but got a 404 not found message. Clever ninjas, very clever.
@Alex Wash
Oh dear me....you do realise you just raise a big red flag above your head?
Hope you sleep with one eye open, not that it will do you much good!
evidently a big problem in some parts of the US
New Rules
Ah so sword beats beanbag & gas but loses to electricity I always wondered.
Does it beat Spock or Lizard?
One more wackjob off the streets
Ship him off to be Assange's cellmate.
Eh. It's Edgewater
Lived down the road a bit from there... Nothing BUT whackjobs* to be found in Edgewater.
Well, that and Rednecks. But I repeat myself.
"the obstreperous Beach, whose evident proficiency with a sword and ability to shrug off the effects of robots, gas and riot-gun projectiles could easily be ascribed to mastery of one or more exotic Oriental combat philosophy disciplines."
Is this what the kids call beer today???
Also in order to qualify for "intent to murder in the second degree" in the USA you don't really need to hit someone with a katana (No legless or armless police were reported), you just look like you are going too.
'Is this what the kids call beer today???'
I see you've been to Edgewater!
I wonder
what was the original Court Order for?
Guilty of...
If I've found the right info, speeding, 68 in a 55 zone.
The order was for...
...being a redneck in the first degree.
Ninja skillz.. or something else?
'whose evident proficiency with a sword and ability to shrug off the effects of robots, gas and riot-gun projectiles could easily be ascribed to mastery of one or more exotic Oriental combat philosophy disciplines..'
Alternatively, perhaps he was as high as a kite on various illicit pharmaceuticals..
Or had bought something from Mr Hurtubise?
Perhaps he had bought some armour from Troy Hurtubise? But I would have thought that would contain enough metal to short a taser.
you mean...
he was an assassin?
Where's the hashish leaf logo when you need it?
Don't know about...
all the rest, but this guy should be kept around for the war with the machines!
@Jacqui - Indeed.
That man tried to have sex with me!
ARM'ed combat
I for one welcome our Ninja overlords.
their mistake
was sending in a robot to do a Terminator's job...
I love the story and all the comments. Nice way to end the working day. Thanks ninja, thanks vulture, thanks swivel-chair warriors
In Las Vegas...
...he would have been shot. Dead. in the first 5 minutes.
The inquest would have determined the 8 cops that fired 27 rounds into him were justified.
Re: In Las Vegas...
Yes, but of course 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.'
In New York...
... the cops would have reloaded multiple times.
oh come now...
Only 8 coppers, only 27 rounds.... thats the sort of response you get for 'hello', weilding a sword must more than treble those numbers
He should thank his lucky stars...
... that he doesn't live in Los Angeles. He's likely to have been killed immediately, and if that failed and he retired to his house the PD would have brought in their remote control loader and smashed his house to pieces around him to get to him ("and kill him").
...He forgot his tinfoil garment.
Go west
He was obviously on the wrong side of the US for this kind of behavior:
...brave police in British Columbia use a taser to fell an 11-year-old child.
To be fair, said child may have stabbed someone. But still...
I wonder.....
...how a chain mail shirt would do against a taser? And could you create a feedback loop to send the charge back to the holder? hmmmmmmmm....
...why do they send a robot in to see if it doesn't have circular saws all over it so you can't mess with it? Robots are easy without some kind of self defense, just the application of a large enough hammer. Second thought: use a wireless jammer - thing just stops or they lose control of it - how interesting....
... pepper spray is what they use and believe it or not, you can get used to it. They don't use mace anymore due to possible permanent blinding and scarring from a liberal application.
... why a 12ga.shotgun beanbag round? They are notoriously hard to place a shot where it's most effective because their ballistic path cannot be predicted after 20 yards. Knee-knockers are hella more effective - six 40mm hardwood plugs in a gas gun that HURT and bounce all over a room striking everything at least once. Beanbags yes, knee-knockers no - I give up/take me in if I see/hear of a gas gun loaded with those things lol.
Good one though, I've been purposely avoiding what passes for the news lately - too damn depressing and then... from out of the blue....
god love Monty Python.... world's gone bloody crazy when they make more sense than wtf is going on nowadays.
Sounds like Vegas has it right
No point in wasting time on braindead fools, just take them out and move on to the next waste of humanity.
Where is this person....
....on the Chuck Norris Scale?
Only two hours later...
...police managed to bust into bathroom...
Sorry, but this sounds very much like an ancient Czech joke about the Wehrmacht reports from Battle of Stalingrad.
"Monday: We took the hall.
Tuesday: After artillery barrage we took control of the kitchen.
Wednesday: With severe losses we stormed the living room.
Thursday: We invaded pantry, but were stopped by minefield.
At this rate we are down the toilet by end of the week..."
Man wins an award
for starting in a small hole and digging himself a very deep one. It's not stated what the original court order was for, but if it was as serious as an arrest warrant the article would have said so.

Two of the four teens charged in an arson in Jackson County are expected to plead guilty to the crime.
19-year-old Jeffrey Koziol, Jr. and 18-year-old Tyler Wirebaugh waived their right to a preliminary examination in 12th District Court Wednesday morning. They are expected to plead guilty to the arson charges they face in connection with the March 26 fire at the old Sparton Electronics facility on Ganson Street in Blackman Township. Prosecutors say Koziol and Wirebaugh were the ones who actually started the fire.
Charges against the other two teens--- 17-year-old Shawn Levan and 18-year-old Cody Caldwell-- are expected to be dismissed once Koziol and Wirebaugh plead guilty. Assistant Prosecutor Mark Blumer says Levan and Caldwell were quick to cooperate with investigators. He says they provided "moral encouragement" during the fire, but didn't actually start it.
We'll have much more on today's developments tonight on News 10 at 6.

Hilary Duff to Guest Star on Gossip Girlby Free Britney at . Comments
Is the Upper East Side ready for more star power? We'll find out as Hilary Duff is coming to Gossip Girl for a guest role this fall, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The actress-designer-pop singer will play Olivia Burke, a movie star (typecasting lives) who enrolls at NYU in search of the traditional college experience.
Her character will room with the unpopular Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) at the college. Duff will debut in this season's fourth episode, slated to air October 5.
Gossip Girl producers spotted an opening in Duff's schedule after NBC passed on her comedy pilot Barely Legal. She was to play a lawyer in it, of course.
Hilary D. USED to be a wholesome fun down to earth role model. NOW, she is a MEAN UGLY SELF-CENTERED CONCEITED BITCH! NO ROLE MODEL!

Redknapp was keen to bolster his forward options at Loftus Road, but Toronto FC wanted to keep Defoe for their MLS playoff run and terms were not agreed with Borini.
The Liverpool striker was linked with a move to Sunderland but, as the deadline approached, QPR emerged as favourites and entered talks with the Italian.
But personal terms proved a stumbling block and Redknapp told Sky Sports that he was disappointed he was unable to make a third or fourth signing of the day after bringing in Sandro from Spurs and Niko Kranjcar on loan from Dynamo Kiev.
"Jermain wanted to come," Redknapp said. "We were hoping to get him. We agreed a deal with Toronto but it was difficult for them to release him.
"They are looking to get in the playoffs and we didn't want to disrupt their club or anything else so we moved on.
"Borini, we just couldn't do a deal with the player. We agreed a deal with Liverpool but we couldn't meet what the lad was looking for."
It's an odd situation. He clearly wants to play football but why does that have to be at Liverpool? Does he think he'll get ahead of Sturridge or Balotelli to play in Champions League games? Rodgers is often flexible with formations and sometimes plays with two strikers but you'd have to think that were two of the three currently ahead of Borini out of contention then Rodgers would go to one striker and three attacking midfielders before playing him in a front two. I might be harsh on him and he can move ahead of Lambert as you never know in football. But the likelihood is he'll only play when all the other strikers are out. From his point of view, what's the point in that?- thebigshow
