LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Robert Dunn was found guilty of first degree murder, and the jury is recommending life in prison. WINK News is live blogging from inside the courtroom as the penalty phase takes place.
December 7
10:20 a.m. - Judge Margaret Steinbeck has just called the jury back into the courtroom. Closing Statements are expected to begin in a few moments. One of the jurors has indicated she may have heard something about the case, Outside, of the courtroom. The juror says she got a call from a friend who said, "are you on that trial where the man killed his wife? If it is he should get the death penalty because he knew what he was doing." Currently, defense attorney David Brener is questioning the juror to determine if the juror can remain on the case.
10:30 a.m. - Juror will remain on the jury after revealing she received a call from a friend who made reference to whether or not Robert Dunn should get the death penalty.

10:00 a.m. - Dunn's attorneys are once again trying to influence jurors to spare Dunn's life by showing he suffers from mental illness. Psychologist, Dr. Hyman Eisenstein, is on the stand. Dr. Eisenstein says Dunn scored high on an intelligence test, but scored very low on a memory test. The doctor says Dunn may not be able to remember traumatic events correctly and may invent memories.
10:15 a.m. - Dr. Eisenstein testified that Dunn spray painted crosses and biblical sayings on the walls of his home. He also testified that Mr. Dunn told him it was degrading that people, including his attorney, believe he's mentally ill.

10:50 a.m. - Court is in a 10 minute recess.
11:00 a.m. - Court is back in session. Jury is back in the courtroom.
11:46 p.m. - The prosecution is working to poke holes in Dr Hyman Eisenstein's testimony inferring that the work the doctor performs for defense attorneys is based more on advocacy than accuracy. Dr. Eisenstein is a psychologist, hired by the defense, to evaluate Robert Dunn. Prosecutor, Bob Lee is questioning the doctor, asking, "aren't you, (Dr Eisenstein), an advocate for the defendant?" To which the doctor replied no. Then Lee asked, "Don't you travel across the state and beyond at the request of defense attorneys?" Dr Eisenstein replied, "Yes." Lee continued, "Isn't this your primary form of income?" Dr Eisenstein replied, "Yes."
12:00 p.m. - The jury has been released to go to lunch. Dr Hyman Eisenstein will return to the stand at the conclusion of the break.

He only reviewed his case after being hired by the defense. Dr. Eisenstein says Robert Dunn was experiencing a severe psychotic process at the time of the killing. But prosecutor Lee is inquiring how the doctor would know that since he has already testified that Dunn told him, (Eisenstein) he remembers nothing after he walked into the daycare.
2:50 p.m. - The defense has called Dr. Frederick Schaerf, an adult general and forensic psychiatrist. Schaerf first evaluated Robert Dunn about a month after the deadly shooting in January 2008 with their most recent interview being in August of this year. Dr. Schaerf says Dunn suffers from alcoholism and bipolar disorder and had severe psychiatric tendencies around the time he fatally shot his wife Christie.
3:12 p.m. - Court is in recess until 3:25 when testimony will continue with forensic psychiatrist.
3:33 p.m. - Court resumes with Dr. Frederick Schaerf, forensic psychiatrist on the stand.

6:45 p.m. - The jury has gone home for the night. Closing arguments will begin tomorrow morning. After that a jury will decide whether to recommend life in prison or the death penalty. Judge Margaret Steinbeck will have the final say.
December 5
12:15 p.m. - The Robert Dunn penalty phase began with fireworks this morning after defense attorney David Brener introduced new evidence regarding Dunn's treatments for depression. Brener says the man who is designated as the custodian of those records, told him of new information during a smoke break. The prosecution says they had no opportunity to go over the new information. Judge Margaret Steinbeck had to call a short recess to allow for the exchange of information.
1:30 p.m. - Jury is back after break and Dr. David Shapiro has returned to the stand. He says Robert Dunn was in a severely depressed state when he shot his wife Christie back in January of 2008.
2:05 p.m. - Forensic psychologist Dr. David Shapiro remains on the stand. Dr. Shapiro says Robert Dunn was not faking his mental illness. He says Dunn was suffering from extreme emotional and mental stress at the time of the shooting. "He mentioned the driving and seeing angels and demons swirling around and had the sensation he was being held down by the demons," Shapiro said.
2:30 p.m. - Dr. Shapiro is being cross-examined by prosecutor Bob Lee who is trying to poke holes in his testimony. He is trying to show jurors that Shapiro's asessment is based primarily on interviews with Robert Dunn and his family. Shapiro was unaware of two half-empty bottles of alcohol found in Dunn's home during a search the day after the shooting. It seems prosecutors are trying to prove Dunn was lazy and irresponsible and went on hiatus to hide from the responsibilities of life, not because he was mentally ill.
December 4
9:30 a.m. - The jury in the Robert Dunn penalty phase entered the courtroom at 9 this morning. Defense attorney David Brener offered the jury a "Baker Act" report allegedly regarding Robert Dunn. Each juror is reading the form which has several pages. Brener stated yesterday in open court that Dunn suffered from a "sick and diseased mind."
10:07 a.m. -Defense calls to the stand, Sol Maria Lopez an employee at the Lee County Jail who was a part of the team that gathered information from Robert Dunn after he was arrested and booked into the jail. Lopez asked Dunn a number of questions upon his intake, including, "Do you suffer from major depression?" and Dunn responded, "Yes." He also admitted to attempting to commit suicide in the past.
10:48 a.m. - Robert Dunn's aunt, Shirley Staubach, takes the stand and testifies that Robert, "acted strange" as a child, spending a great deal of time in his bedroom. She says he did not have many friends. She testified that Dunn tried to live up to his father's expectations but never did.
1:05 p.m. - Court has resumed after a lunch break. Jurors are being lead back into the courtroom. The defense is about to call its next witness to the stand.
1:09 p.m. - Robert Dunn's sister, Lori Bardel, is on the stand testifying that as a child Dunn would stay in his room for hours and hours listening to records. Bardel says at times Robert would call her into his bedroom to listen to the music and say to her, "Do you hear it? Do you hear it? Can you hear the voices in there? They are telling us something."
1:19 p.m. - Robert Dunn's sister, Lori Bardel, remains on the stand. She testified that several years ago, Robert was living at his parents house when neighbors noticed him acting erratic. Neighbors called 911 when they witnesses Dunn diving behind bushes in the front yard as if he were "running for cover." When Bardel was summoned to the hospital to try and calm her brother he told her, "Ayatollah Khomeini and his army was coming to get him."
1:36 p.m. - Robert Dunn's sister Lori remains on the stand. She is identifying photographs of she and Robert as children and with other family members. She has been brought to tears on several occasions. The questioning continues.
2:01 p.m. - Robert Dunn's sister Lori Bardel has been on the stand for almost an hour. The jury has seen photos of the inside of Dunn's home where he spray painted religious symbols and messages on his walls. His sister broke down on the stand when defense attorneys showed pictures of Dunn and his daughter Allyson smiling and playing together. "He loved his daughter and they were so happy," Bardel said.
2:30 p.m. - Robert Dunn's sister, Lori Bardel, has been on the stand for almost an hour and half now. Bardel described how Dunn came off during a phone conversation 2 days before the deadly shooting in January 2008. "He was very paranoid, very somber, just something didn't sound right in his voice, that he just didn't have the will to live any more," she said. Bardel said Dunn wouldn't allow her to come over to talk with him in person and at no point mentioned the purchase of a gun. When asked by attorney if she regretted not going over, she replied "absolutely."
2:35 p.m. - The jury is on a short recess. The judge has to rule on whether certain testimony is allowed. Defense attorneys want to ask Lori Bardel, who is Robert Dunn's next of kin the effect her brother's execution would have on the family. The state doesn't want the jury to hear that.
2:45 p.m. - The Judge has brought the jury back in. Judge Margaret Steinbeck ruled defense attorneys can not ask Dunn's sister about the death penalty. Judge Steinbeck says the question is irrelevent and does not show any evidence of Dunn's state of mind. She said it would open the door for prosectuors to present in rebuttal opinions of others who could testify whether they think the death penalty would be appropriate.
2:50 p.m. - The defense has rested. Prosecutors will now cross-examine Robert Dunn's sister, Lori Bardel.
4:19 p.m. - Dunn's sister was on the stand for almost 3 hours. During cross-examination, prosecutor Bob Lee tried to prove Robert Dunn hid from the responsibilities of life. He showed a different side of Dunn. He asked Bardel why Dunn didn't attend his daughter Allyson's 2nd birthday party days before the shooting. He said he had to work, but when Bardel went to his home after the party, she testified he was home but would not come to the door. The defense has now called a mental health counselor Dunn saw while he was trying to get custody of his daughter.
5:00 p.m. - Jury sent home for the night. Testimony resumes Wednesday morning. The jury is instructed to be back at 8:30 a.m.
December 3

10:18 a.m. - Defense attorney David Brener continues with his opening statement in the death penalty phase of Robert Dunn's capital murder case. Brener says Dunn was a tortured man who has a diseased mind and implored the jury to, "let mercy flow from you like the gentle rain from heaven."
12:45 p.m. - Court is in recess til 1:30.
1:10 p.m. - Attorneys are back in court. The jury is still out. Attorneys are discussing what will be allowed to be presented, in the way of testimony, in penalty phase. Defense attorney David Brener says things like the amount of people who attended Christine Dunn's funeral should not be considered in victim's impact statements.

1:25 p.m. - Jury is scheduled to return at 1:30...Court is in recess.
1:35 p.m. - Cape Coral police detective Kurt Grau takes the stand and testifies to Robert Dunn making a confession to the murder of Christine Dunn.

Grau says Dunn was also upset because he had just received an income deduction order for child support. Grau says Dunn also said he went to the daycare to, "hurt that b***h for what she had done to him."

Mr. Lozier testified, "Allyson has brought meaning into our shattered lives. She is a blessing and the silver lining in a very dark storm cloud."
5:39 p.m. - In afternoon testimony, defense attorneys called two of Dunn's cousins who changed their names to disassociate from the "dysfunctional" family. They told jurors about a dark family history of mental illness including depression, paranoia, and even suicide. They described Robert Dunn's father as absent and only interested in his son's athletic achievements. "He was always quiet, always in the background," Dunn's cousin Christopher Sean said.

Fox News' incessant promotion of Cliven Bundy abruptly ended after the Nevada rancher's racist rant was published in The New York Times.
Bundy's public feud with the Bureau of Land Management over his refusal to pay grazing fees received extensive support from Fox News, which devoted nearly five hours of primetime coverage to the story, including numerous interviews with Bundy and his family. Sean Hannity provided him so much positive coverage, Bundy praised the Fox News host as a "hero."
That praise fell silent after Bundy used one of his daily press conferences to engage in an overtly racist tirade, claiming black people "abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton" and suggesting that they were better off under slavery. The day after Bundy's rant was published in The New York Times, Fox News' coverage of Bundy ended rapidly.
By noon on April 24, Fox had mentioned the rancher only twice, and never covered his racist comments. On Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy drew a parallel between Bundy's standoff and the situation of two Texas landowners, and Fox's Andrew Napolitano told viewers to "forget the battle in Nevada" to focus on events in Texas instead.
While Fox News did not cover Bundy's comments, Fox host Greta van Susteren spoke out on her blog, highlighting the Times' article and noting "Let me make this plain: I condemn what Cliven Bundy said about African Americans."
UPDATED: Here's the video of Bundy's racist rant:
Fox News attempted to discredit a Congressional Budget Office report that estimated lower costs for the Affordable Care Act, while it also embraced a dubious survey claiming that health care premiums are skyrocketing.
On the April 14 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto brought on Fox contributor and serial health care misinformer Betsy McCaughey in order to baselessly attack the CBO's latest projections, which show that the ACA will cost $104 billion less over 10 years than previously projected and that premiums for the most popular plans under ACA are expected to rise only "slightly" for 2015. McCaughey unleashed a series of already debunked lies about the health care law. After Cavuto called the CBO's savings estimates "deceiving," Mccaughey agreed and denied there would be any savings,asserting that it is actually "a cost-shifting":
CAVUTO: So what is the CBO looking at? It's limiting it to what they expect it to be, that millions more will sign up under these exchanges, and I guess because of subsidies and special breaks see their premium increases actually stabilize. Do you buy that?
McCAUGHEY: Well, no, I don't buy that. I think the insurance company executives know exactly what they're talking about, and they're worried about the public pushback from these huge premium hikes ahead. That's only part of the bad news. You're also going to see a million people or more default. In other words, they've paid their first premium, but when they discover what it really means to pay a three or five thousand dollar deductible on their plan, they go to their doctor again and again and have to pay full freight even though they're paying their premium, they're going to stop paying their premium.
Another big problem ahead is the 25 to 30 million people who currently get on the job coverage who are going to lose it in the coming months when their employers realize that they're not going to be able to renew those old plans and they're stuck between the very costly Obamacare plans or sending their workers and their families onto the exchanges. And finally, you're going to hear a lot of desperation from cancer patients when they discover these Obamacare exchange plans won't let them go to any specialty cancer hospitals, even though the data show that, for example, women with ovarian cancer live longer when they're treated at a high-volume cancer hospital.
CAVUTO: But the argument that the CBO is raising that all those problems notwithstanding -- they're big ones, it's like saying "Outside that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the show?" -- they're still going to see premiums for those in these exchanges go down. But what I did look at in the CBO study, it's all dependent on these special write-offs and allowances and subsidies that those in a certain income group get to give you what seems like a deceiving savings.
McCAUGHEY: That's right, and I'ts really not a savings, Neil. It's just a cost-shifting.
In contrast to Fox's attack on the CBO report, earlier in the day it uncritically promoted a discredited Morgan Stanley survey claiming "rate acceleration" in ACA premiums. Correspondent Jim Angle appeared on both Fox's Happening Now and The Real Story With Gretchen Carlson to hype fears that fit into the channel's narrative that Obamacare will causes insurance premiums to soar. However, the report Angle cited has been discredited for its absence of methodology and small survey sample. Even Fox News' sister organization, Fox Business, pointed out problematic elements of the study, noting that "some states had only one broker respond to the Morgan Stanley survey so the results may not be reliable."
Fox News' willingness to dismiss a report from the respected and nonpartisan CBO while embracing a flawed study is just the latest effort in Fox News' struggling crusade to discredit the ACA by stoking fears of negative impact.
On national Equal Pay Day, Fox News ignored President Obama's signing ceremony for new executive orders aimed to address the problem.
On April 8, President Obama signed into law two new executive orders to help alleviate the pay gap between men and women hired by federal contractors. The president hosted a ceremony at the White House featuring equal pay pioneer Lily Ledbetter.
Unlike MSNBC and CNN, however, Fox declined to air the ceremony. Happening Now co-host Jon Scott directed viewers to Foxnews.com for coverage of the ceremony after he depicted it as merely political, "the Democrats think it is a political winning issue for them, that is why they are touting it right now." Fox ran a segment that reported on House Republicans' plans to "fix" Obamacare during the event:
Fox's refusal to air the President's speech comes as the network continues to dismiss the issue. Fox hosts and contributors have repeatedly claimed that the pay gap between men and women either does not exist or is not particularly significant.
Fox News attacked the Obama administration for announcing a delay to the Affordable Care Act that resembles administration delays by other presidents, such as President Bush's 2006 delay of the Medicare Part D penalty.

Fox News host Jon Scott dismissed President Obama's efforts to raise the minimum wage and strengthen overtime pay protections for millions of workers as a distraction from the economy -- an unusual sentiment, given that experts believe both measures would have a stimulative effect on the economy.
On March 13, President Obama used his executive authority to direct the Labor Department to change standards in order to increase the number of salaried workers who qualify for overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act. From The New York Times:
Under the new rules that Mr. Obama is seeking, fewer salaried employees could be blocked from receiving overtime, a move that would potentially shift billions of dollars' worth of corporate income into the pockets of workers. Currently, employers are prohibited from denying time-and-a-half overtime pay to any salaried worker who makes less than $455 per week. Mr. Obama's directive would significantly increase that salary level.
In addition, Mr. Obama will try to change rules that allow employers to define which workers are exempt from receiving overtime based on the kind of work they perform. Under current rules, if an employer declares that an employee's primary responsibility is executive, such as overseeing a cleanup crew, then that worker can be exempted from overtime.
On the March 13 edition of Fox's Happening Now, co-host Jon Scott questioned whether raising the minimum wage would be "sufficient to distract people from the jobs and the economy and maybe Obamacare." In a later discussion with Washington Times columnist Charlie Hurt, Scott derided President Obama's plans to strengthen overtime pay protections as a "political tactic" meant to "score political points." Hurt agreed, and concluded that, like raising the minimum wage, expanding overtime pay rules "doesn't really help the economy in any great way":
Right-wing media are upset that President Obama sat down for an interview with comedian Zach Galifianakis on "Between Two Ferns."

Conservative media were unfazed by Rep. Paul Ryan's suggestion that low-income parents don't care for their children if they receive free school lunches, a response that stays true to their history of shaming low-income people.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), chairman of the House Budget Committee, helped kick off the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on March 6 with a speech on the direction of the Republican Party as the 2014 and 2016 elections approach. Ryan shared an anecdote about a child receiving free lunch from school to paint Democrats as out of touch (emphasis added):
RYAN: The Left is making a big mistake here. What they're offering people is a full stomach and an empty soul. The American people want more than that. You know, this reminds me of a story I heard from Eloise Anderson. She serves in the cabinet of my buddy Gov. Scott Walker. She once met a young boy from a very poor family. And every day at school, he would get a free lunch from a government program. He told Eloise he didn't want a free lunch. He wanted his own lunch. One in a brown paper bag, just like the other kids. He wanted one, he said, because he knew a kid with a brown paper bag had someone who cared for him. This is what the Left does not understand.
Right-wing media saw nothing objectionable in Ryan's comments. National Review Online praised his argument with the headline, "Paul Ryan's Moving Story That Explains the Difference Between Hard Work and Dependency," a take which echoes Fox News' narrative that free school lunches for children create dependency rather than encouraging hard work.
On Fox's Happening Now, correspondent Carl Cameron, reporting from CPAC, characterized Ryan's speech as taking a "middle-of-the-road tone."
Ryan's comments fit in well with conservative media's history of shaming the poor, and in particular, free school lunch programs for children of low-income families. In the past, Fox has even suggested children be forced to work for their meals.
Where else might Ryan have heard this before?

Fox News is using the crisis in Ukraine to push for the Keystone XL pipeline, an argument that an energy expert called "patently absurd."
In response to Russia's occupation of Ukrainian territory in the Crimean peninsula, Fox News personalities have been pushing for the Keystone XL pipeline to be built on an accelerated timetable, claiming that it would "weaken" Russia. But their argument has no basis in reality, as the pipeline could not realistically be built in a timetable sufficient to respond to the imminent crisis, and the tar sands oil it would deliver would not dent the global market enough to impact Russia. Energy analyst Chris Nelder explained in an email to Media Matters:
Keystone XL proponents will seize on any shred of justification for the project, no matter how tenuous. The suggestion that a very long-term project like Keystone XL, which will take a year or more to construct on any timetable, and which will deliver refined products like gasoline and diesel to a global market -- not just markets around Russia -- would somehow address the immediate situation in Crimea, is patently absurd. Further, delivering 830,000 barrels per day once it reaches full capacity will not meaningfully undercut Russia specifically in a global market that consumes 92 million barrels per day.
Yet at least six Fox News hosts and contributors have used the crisis in Crimea to push a pro-tar sands agenda:
O'Reilly: Build Keystone Pipeline To Weaken Russia. Fox News host Bill O'Reilly said that "the Keystone pipeline must be approved. Why? Because Russia is blackmailing Europe over energy ... the more oil and natural gas the U.S.A. and Canada can produce and distribute, the weaker Russia becomes on the world stage. I fervently hope President Obama understands that."
KT McFarland: Obama Should Tell Putin: "I Will Allow Keystone Pipeline To Go Ahead": In an opinion piece for FoxNews.com, Fox News foreign policy contributor KT McFarland wrote a mock conversation on what she hopes Obama told Putin during their March 1 phone call:
I will allow the Keystone Pipeline to go ahead, again on an accelerated basis. That will not only give a boost to the American and Canadian economies, it will start driving down the price of oil.
McFarland made a similar argument on-air when she suggested "go[ing] after the economic weapon: Build the Keystone pipeline."

COLUMBUS, Ohio – State pushback against a movement to unionize college athletes has begun in Ohio, the football-loving heart of a heated anti-labor campaign in 2011 and home to one of America's highest-grossing collegiate franchises, the Ohio State Buckeyes.
A measure approved by the state House on Wednesday, two weeks after a federal agency said football players at Northwestern University could unionize, clarifies that college athletes aren't public employees. The proposal appears to be the first of its kind to clear a state legislative chamber; it heads next to the state Senate.
The opposite is happening in Connecticut, where lawmakers are looking at clearing the path for college athletes to unionize. Some observers, though, think other states are more likely to follow Ohio's lead.
This is a pre-emptive move, said John Russo, a union organization expert who formerly directed Youngstown State University's Center for Working-Class Studies.
The National Labor Relations Board official ruled March 26 that full-scholarship players at Northwestern University in Illinois are employees and therefore eligible to unionize. The university has appealed ahead of a vote by the athletes April 25.
Northwestern athletes leading the effort say they simply want a seat at the table since they have so little say on injuries, insurance, finances, scheduling and other aspects of their sports.
Federal labor law is in play at Northwestern because it's private, but states control policy at public universities – including giants such as Ohio State, Florida State, Michigan and Alabama, whose athletic programs generate millions in annual revenue. Federal data show that Ohio State's athletic department generated $123 million in revenue last year, sixth-highest in the country.
Michael McCann, director of the Sports and Entertainment Law Institute at the University of New Hampshire, said he would not be surprised to see other states, especially those with powerful athletic programs at public colleges, follow Ohio's lead.
But, he added, a declaration that college athletes aren't public employees might create an uneven playing field if athletes at private universities can unionize and receive benefits while those at public colleges in the same state can't.
In theory, it could give the private universities a recruiting advantage, McCann said.
Such a law also would go even a step beyond right-to-work states that have laws that would prevent athletes from unionizing but still allow them to be considered public employees, Russo said.
In Connecticut – home to the teams at the public University of Connecticut that won both the men's and women's NCAA basketball titles this week – lawmakers are evaluating whether state law allows athletes to join a union.
If there are any artificial barriers, then we should remove them, said Democratic state Rep. Patricia Dillon, noting that athletes shouldn't be forced to join unions. But there's no question that the whole concept of student-athletes was unjust from the beginning.
The National Conference of State Legislatures, which tracks statehouse legislation nationwide, said it doesn't know of proposals on college unionization in any other states, perhaps because many legislatures are out of session.
But Russo believes it's coming.
All these individual states that have public-sector universities, they're going to move fast to say those athletes aren't public employees, said Russo, now a visiting research fellow at Virginia Tech.
The Ohio proposal's chances in the Senate are unclear. That chamber spearheaded a 2011 law limiting the bargaining powers of police, firefighters, teachers and other public workers. Voters overwhelming repealed it.
The leader of a powerful labor union in Ohio criticized lawmakers for pushing for a change in defining athletes before hearing their concerns.
They should try to engage in a productive way by dealing with the real concerns of fairness and safety where the players and university leaders have expressed common themes for change, said Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga.
Ohio has a deep love affair with football, from high school to the NFL. The league took root in Canton, now home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

USA, 2009 (MIFF 2009, Documentaries)
Director: Jonathan Bricklin
"If there were an Olympic category for self-confidence, Malcolm Bricklin would win gold hands down." - filmmaker Jonathan Bricklin
At an age when most men start putting their feet up and cashing their pension cheques Malcolm Bricklin has decided to go for broke and start again, setting up a new US car company from scratch. Having had previous successes (Subaru) and failures (Yugo) importing cars to the US, the eccentric entrepreneur brings his snake-oil salesman charm to bear in an attempt to broker a new deal with small Chinese car manufacturer Chery.
His son, filmmaker Jonathan Bricklin, had unprecedented access to the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing - which even sees the engrossing and charismatic Bricklin baring all in the name of 'close relations' with his confused Chinese business partners.
Produced by Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me).

Skinny Snacks to Eat on Your Sofa
What's couch time without munchies? Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien tells you the healthiest snacks to grab when you're feeling nibbly.
By Lisa Lillien
If you're craving...Chewy
Most snack bars have one thing in common: lots of sugar and calories. But you can find some smart choices. A few of my faves are Quaker Chewy 90 Calorie Peanut Butter Granola Bar, Fiber One 90 Calorie Chocolate Bar, and Honey Nut Special K Cereal Bar. And jerky is a great pick if you want savory. It's packed with filling protein and is surprisingly low in fat.

November 25, 2014
USA Swimming CEO Chuck Wielgus has apologized for the first time to victims of sexual abuse within the program.
The apology was written in a blog posted on the organization's web site. It comes more than four years after a much-criticized television interview in which Wielgus said he had no reason to apologize for the dozens of sexual abuse cases under his leadership.
Wielgus started his blog with two words: "I'm sorry."
While Wielgus says the organization has made great strides with its Safe Sport Program, he has continued to face criticism from those who say he should step down if the USA Swimming is going to make real progress to protect athletes
Most recently, he was forced to withdraw from this year's International Swimming Hall of Fame induction class.

[QUOTE=Jetsound;3477455]On offense - our 4 first round picks and 3 pro bowlers - could not stop the 245 lb. Mathis, and the 235 lb. linebackers.
Schotty kept getting cute with dumb-ass Richardson plays - he is too slow.
Our ground and pound - where was it. Schotty kept going away from it. And when Greene got hurt - you would thing Jones was the rookie we were trying to protect.
Besides the offense.
the D sucked.
Not only did the 3rd and 4th options rip us a new one - they ran for 5+ whenever they wanted to.
We should have road graded.....and we played from ahead and let them dictate.
Goodnight 2009. You can talk all night about 2010 - but you were leading at halftime again, and laid down. You can count on one hand the number of draw plays that went for less than 3 yards - WHY DID WE STOP CALLING "OUR PLAY?"
I'm sickened.[/QUOTE]
As far as being manhandled by the under-sized Colts D, I think you are off base. They were sending extra people to shut down the run that left them very vulnerable to the pass. Offensively we were fine up to the point where Greene's injury.
Defensively we were fine until Strickland's injury. Obviously SHeppard was nursing something as well. That left a secondary consisting of Revis shutting down Wayne. A combination of a couple shutting down Clark. And then COllie and Garcon being guarded by Lowery and Coleman. Not a matchup that wouls be condusive to winning the game.
If we stay healthy, I honestly believe that we win this game. Period. down 20-17, we had the ball and had Greene not been injured we could have eaten off several minutes of the clock in the process of taking the lead.
But onward. We can't point to filed conditions (like in 82) or weather conditions (99). This one was all on us. Manning took adavantage.

Lay It Down Lyrics - Jaci Velasquez
Review The Song (2)
I've been lookin' till my eyes are tired of lookin'
Listenin' till my ears are numb from listenin'
Prayin' till my knees are sore from kneelin' on the bedroom floor
I know that you know that my heart is achin'
I'm running out of tears and my will is breakin'
I don't think that I can carry the burden of it anymore
All of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans,
Are slowly slippin' through my folded hands
So I'm gonna lay it down
I'm gonna learn to trust You now
What else can I do
Everything I am depends on You
And if the sun don't come back up
I know Your love would be enough
I'm gonna let it be, I'm gonna let it go,
I'm gonna lay it down.
I've been walkin' through this world like I'm barely livin'
Buried in the doubt of this hole I've been diggin'
But You're pullin' me out
I'm finally breathin' in the open air
Oh, This room may be dark but I'm finally seein'
There's a new ray of hope, and now I'm believin'
That the past is past, and the future's beginning to look brighter now
Oh, cause all of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans
Are safe and secure when I place them in Your hands
So I'm gonna lay it down
I'm gonna learn to trust You now
Oh what more can I do,
Everything I am depends on You
And if the sun don't come back up
You know Your love will be enough
I've gotta let it be, I've gotta let it go,
I've gotta lay it down
I've gotta lay it down
I'm gonna lay it down.

I wouldn't call this a "review" - maybe just a comment. I heard this song on a friends MySpace page. It touched me down deep in my heart, so many people feel exactly what this song is saying. The next day, I purchased the accompanyment CD and today, I am going to sing it for the people of my Church. I love it...

Career Architecture Process
Imagine your future. Design your career.®
Career ArchitectureSM:
A Model in Action
The Stevenson Career Report 2014
Online | Download PDF
Stevenson is one of the leading universities in addressing the skills and tools our students will need to determine their individual strengths and interests for the best potential for career success. The three elements for building careers through Career ArchitectureSM are actually a framework of Theory, Practice, and Mentoring.
There are three distinct components to Career Architecture: personal direction, discipline expertise, and professional know-how. These are not step-by-step nor linear. You'll learn theories, apply them in a practical manner, and uncover new mentors. All to prepare our graduates for their next steps in life.
Personal Direction
This initial self-awareness process at SU is actually fun and helps you create a personal plan for life and work. After an initial individualized session, we focus on inspiring each of our students to reflect on the future, starting with a freshmen seminar and through activities all the way up to graduation. Our career guidance enables you to explore skills, values, personality, and interests with some of the latest assessment tools available to determine your dependable strengths rather than a job title. A favorite freshman activity is an annual LEGO® Challenge, part of the First Year Seminar. The LEGO event is a popular way to work in teams to learn about skills employers seek: communication, innovation, teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity.
Discipline Expertise
Building upon classroom knowledge and theory, this aspect of Career Architecture is all about putting theory to work through internships, service learning, on campus employment, and part-time jobs. Develop skills and learn how to apply them. Those you work with become your mentors and, according to employers, help Stevenson students stand out as they seek to later enter the workplace as competitive candidates.
Professional Know-How
Part of the career preparation support process is helping you to pull together from your other Career Architecture efforts and now develop your professional "brand" for methods and opportunities after graduation. Your personal description includes your self-assessment and learning experiences combined to describe you authentically and in an engaged, interesting fashion. Career fairs, networking symposiums, conferences, seminars, and more help you prepare for a successful job search or for applications to graduate school.

I usually forget to move my car the night before street sweeping, so sometimes if mom notices, she will move it for me after I've gone to bed. Well, i had my car parked across the street so i wouldn't have to move it till tonight. Well, last night my mom thought she would be helpful and move my car back to our side of the street so i wouldn't get a ticket.
Problem? She moved the car to the side of the street that was sweeping today. I got a ticket. Poor thing thought last night was wednesday! She was trying to do something so sweet, but got it backwards.

Clancys gift of foresight
How did he do it?
Tom Clancy, who died Tuesday at 66, mixed information and imagination to produce memorable books that spawned truly riveting action movies.
But he wrote so accurately about modern weaponry and cutting-edge warfare that critics wondered whether he had accessed classified information. Indeed, techno-novelist Clancy sometimes seemed able to write about events before they happened.
An example, in recent days, was the horrific shopping-mall attack in Kenya by militant Islamists. Clancy had written of just such attacks by al Qaida-like terrorists – on American malls – in the 2003 novel Teeth of the Tiger.
Clancy's 2010 Dead or Alive, about the capture of a terrorist mastermind, bore similarities to the demise of Osama bin Laden just a few months after the book was published.
As Time magazine's Christopher Matthews noted, One of Tom Clancy's more successful video games, Ghost Recon,' was released in 2001 but is set in 2008. The game begins with a conflict between Georgian rebel forces and Russian nationalists who have seized power with the intent of re-establishing the Soviet empire. Though many who study the region may have predicted that tensions between Georgia and Russia were likely to escalate into military conflict, Clancy's game is strangely on target predicting the war's start, as the game's events take place in April 2008, just a few months before the real-world conflict began.
Clancy's most stunning fictional prediction, though, was in Debt of Honor, in which a 747 is piloted into the U.S. Capitol by a survivor of a strange war between Japan and the United States. That book was published in 1994 – seven years before the 9/11 attacks.
His first book, The Hunt for Red October, was published in 1984. It was a huge success. Even President Ronald Reagan called it my kind of yarn.
From then on, it was often observed, Clancy's fan base included those he cultivated as sources: people involved in military and intelligence work. That probably had a lot to do with his ability to write so presciently.
Clancy wasn't a psychic, nor was he trafficking in classified intelligence reports. He was, however, an extremely detail-oriented researcher and writer who closely studied real events even as he constructed his fictional worlds.
Those who want to know the future pay attention to the present.

Branding, according to Scott Bedbury, is the sum total of everything a company does, including the good, the bad and even the off strategy, that creates a context or an identity in a consumer's mind. Personal branding is therefore the creation of an asset that pertains to a particular person or individual, including but not limited to the body, clothing, appearance and knowledge contained within, leading to an indelible impression that is uniquely distinguishable.

SONOMA, Calif. — Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth declined to discuss his future with Roush Fenway Racing before Sunday's race at Sonoma, where there was rampant speculation he's been talking to other race teams.
The NASCAR points leader acts as his own agent, and has been with Roush his entire career. But his No. 17 Ford has limited sponsorship, and team owner Jack Roush has been paying out of his own pocket to ensure Kenseth runs a full season.
"You know I don't talk about my contract," Kenseth said. "I'd like to have something to tell you, but I don't have anything to talk about right now. Until I have something to announce, I don't talk about it."
Everybody else was talking, though, and Kenseth's name this weekend was linked to both Joe Gibbs Racing, a Toyota team, and Penske Racing, which is moving from Dodge to Ford in 2013. Kenseth is a longtime Ford driver.
JGR team president J.D. Gibbs declined to discuss any possible negotiations with Kenseth. JGR not only has room for expansion to a fourth car, but Joey Logano's status as driver of the No. 20 is currently unresolved. Logano is in the final year of his contract.
"I'm not allowed to talk," he said.
Roger Penske was not at Sunday's race, but senior vice president of Penske Corp., Bud Denker said the team is not talking to Kenseth and is content with AJ Allmendinger in the No. 22.
"Our expectations are that AJ will be in the car and Todd (Gordon) will be the crew chief next year," Denker said. "So we are not talking to Matt, that's confirmed."
Kenseth, 40, has 22 career victories and won the 2003 Cup championship for Roush. He took the points lead from teammate Greg Biffle three weeks ago.
The Penske move to Ford has led to talk the organization could be a potential home for Nationwide Series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. or 2011 Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne, who are both in long-term contracts with Roush but are stymied because of sponsorship woes.
Roush this season has suspended operations on its fourth Cup car, which could have been a slot to promote Stenhouse, and Bayne's Nationwide Series program was shuttered earlier this season because of a lack of funding. If Kenseth does indeed leave Roush, it would open a slot for Stenhouse.
But at Penske, where Brad Keselowski has a long contract and Allmendinger is making a home, a third car would have to be added to the organization.
"We're always looking, and we'd do a third team with the right driver and the right sponsor," Denker said. "But we like a certain look, we don't like to have a coat of different colors to fill a car with sponsorship. If we found the right combination, we'd be fine to have a third car."

The Tutor
By Peter Abrahams
"When Scott and Linda Gardner hire Julian Sawyer to tutor their troubled teenage son Brandon, he seems like the answer to a prayer. Capable and brilliant, Julian connects with Brandon in a way neither of his parents can. He also effortlessly helps Linda to salvage a troubled business deal and gives Scott expert advice on his tennis game. Only eleven-year old Ruby—funny, curious, devoted to Sherlock Holmes—has doubts about the stranger in their midst who has so quickly become like a member of the family.
"But even the observant Ruby is far from understanding Julian's true designs on the Gardners. For Julian, the Gardners are like specimens in jars, creatures to be studied— and manipulated. Scott is a gambler with no notion of odds, festering in the shadow of his more successful brother. Linda is ambitious, hungry for the cultured stimulation Julian easily provides. Brandon is risking his future late at night in the town woods. And Ruby—well, she's just a silly little girl. And in that miscalculation lies the Gardner family's only possible salvation."

Special SD Goose Hunt Generates Big Interest
by Associated Press
March 08, 2013 7:09 AM
Nearly 1,000 hunters have applied to be part of a special hunt next month that will target problem Canada geese in six eastern South Dakota counties.
But there are only 140 slots available. The Game, Fish and Parks Department will randomly select hunters and notify them by the end of next week.
Canada geese can be a problem for farmers because they feast on crops such as corn and soybeans. Since 2000, the state has spent more than $4.3 million fighting the problem.
The special hunt in designated areas of Day, Kingsbury, Brookings, Lake, McCook and Minnehaha counties is April 1-30. The birds will be donated to a program that helps feed the hungry.

Best Dim Sum in Singapore
- Overall

- Service
I love dim sum/yum cha and I have been to the top dim sum restaurants in Singapore (and Hong Kong). In my opinion, Crystal Jade Golden Palace is the best in Singapore, despite having a lower rating than some others on HungryGoWhere. My opinion was reaffirmed yesterday. We ordered a variety of dim sum - har gow, siew mai, cha siew bao, cheong fun, lor bak gou, wu gok, lor mai gai, siew yuk, pei dan jook, among others. Each dish was masterfully prepared - delicate and delicious. The service and ambience were very good. And at $30 per head, it was excellent value. One of my favourite restaurants in Singapore - highly recommended.Read MoreHide
I spent $30 per person.

For creative people, being lonely can be a boon or a curse; they tend to either dwell on their isolation or channel their feelings into art. Oblio Duo's latest effort continues down the trail blazed on its debut release. The Flag is filled with the kind of music you imagine being written by people bonding through melancholic reflection of the good times and bad that have slipped through their fingers. On the title track and "Outsides," you can hear an underlying fondness and longing for experiences capable of touching the heart. Painting the world with sepia tones, the Duo projects grand vistas through a hazy lens that takes the edge off a little, allowing you to endure even the most sharply painful slings and arrows life has to throw your way. Fans of Sparklehorse and Wilco will surely pledge allegiance to The Flag's less-traditional brand of Americana.

Mayhew: Burleson and Williams 'important part of our football team'Posted by on February 27, 2012 – 5:09 pm
In the salary cap era of the NFL, good teams are forced to make tough decisions on veteran players and turn to their young ones quicker than they'd probably like.
It's no secret the Lions will be up against the cap in 2012 and that's led to some speculation that players like receiver Nate Burleson and defensive tackle Corey Williams could be salary cap casualties this offseason.
The salary cap can certainly force tough decisions on an up-and-coming franchise like the Lions, but here's hoping they don't have to go that route.
Not only are Burleson and Williams two of the most stand-up guys in the locker room, they're still key productive players.
Head coach Jim Schwartz has been trying to find three quality receivers to pair together since he got here in 2009.
Anyone remember Bryant Johnson and Derrick Williams?
The Lions finally seem to have a great trio for quarterback Matthew Stafford in Calvin Johnson, Burleson and Titus Young. Burleson had 73 receptions last year, a career high.
It doesn't show up on the stat sheet all the time, but Williams is constantly grading out as the best defensive lineman on the field when coaches sit down and watch the game film.
Williams will make $5 million in 2012 and Burleson $4 million.
The team drafted Young and defensive tackle Nick Fairley last season, so I see why the speculation surrounds Burleson and Williams. But losing them would be a bigger loss than fans think.
"Those guys are leaders in our locker room and a very important part of our football team," Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said at the NFL Scouting Combine when asked about Burleson and Williams.
"I have reached out to both their agents and told them that at this time we have no plans to do anything with their contracts and we're happy with their performance and happy with what they bring to our team and our locker room.
"Both of them have been very professional the whole time they've been here and they have been a good example for our younger players."
There's no telling what tough decisions the Lions might face when their salary cap situation becomes more clear in the coming months, but they're a better football team in 2012 with Burleson and Williams in uniform.

By tony kayden on Feb 27, 2012 | Reply
I think we definitely need to keep both of them. Williams has been steady throughout the year. Fairley had that foot injury, and if it reoccurs, and we lost Williams, we'd be losing a key player on our d-line.
As far as Burleson, he's a great player and a great motivator to the younger players. But if it came down to losing him, Williams or Cliff Avril due to the cap, I feel we're strong at receivers, and though it would be a very tough call, one I wouldn't want to make, because I would hate to see Nate go, it might be the best choice because of the age factor and both Williams and Avril can still play a big part for Detroit in future seasons to come.
By Lance McCray on Feb 27, 2012 | Reply
Thats easy. If I had to choose between the three, its avril. Avril only put up the numbers he did this season was cause of the d-line. I think young and jackson can do a decent job in his place. We need nate and williams.

Gotta keep Nate! Recepticon and Megatron baby!!
By ivan on Feb 27, 2012 | Reply
we need to cut jahvid best and mo morris, morris does nothing and makes 2 mill for it and jahvid had 2 concussions on hits that werent that bad so i beleive he is just about done they will happen again. i think we can get rainey or james in the 3rd or so round to replace the both of them
By Nick Hawley on Feb 27, 2012 | Reply
The Lions have a tough call to make, but if you want a veteran receiver that comes up clutch and can back up his babble, they should seek out T.O. The other veterans will keep him in line as I'm sure he has felt humility already with his arena league only fellowship. He's cheap, is a great compliment to Megatron, and is in great shape considering his age and injury. He caught 3 TD's on his last arena game…so why the hell not?!?
By Terrell Fesler on Feb 28, 2012 | Reply
We do not need Burleson. First he made many mistakes last year that cost us dearly including horrible penalties and untimely fumbles. Second and most importantly, we have a healthy Stafford. The Elite teams with Elite Qbs dont typically spend much money on multiple WR's because the QB makes them so much better IE. Tom Brady with every receiver he has ever had besides Moss. Williams is much more important IMO
By Don on Feb 28, 2012 | Reply
We need Nate and Cory Williams! both of them are exactly what Mayhew say's in the fact of Motvation and skill.
And I want Avril to stay here also.Right now I just hope that our free agents and the team can work deals out to make them all happy.
And I hope that the Player's would work hard with the Team to get it done knowing how the team sits with the salary Cap. Hopefully they can work out something you know like only this much this year and this much next year and a little more the next year and a little more the next year and a little more the next year. Anything to keep this Team together. This Team is Getting to good to tear it up over the Money! Of coarse that is easy for me to say.
I still love that line by Cuba Gooding Jr. "Show Me the Money" (: And I hope that this team Can show them All the Money, I just don't know by what's been said if they can give it the way that the players want it?
Anyway's, GO LIONS!
By Doug on Feb 28, 2012 | Reply
Let Avril go if he's gonna walk over money, He only looks so good because of the system and playing next to Suh and Van offences have to focus so much on them. Any good DE can wreck when the Oline is sliding away form them.
By Cory on Feb 28, 2012 | Reply
Williams and Burleson are too important to become salary cap casualties this season. I'd love to keep Avril, but if if it's going to cost upwards of 9-10 mill a year, I don't know that it's worth it. He's a fine young pass rusher, but he benefits greatly from opposing O-lines having to worry about the DT's from the Lions.
I hate to say it, but if it takes cutting KVB (cap number of 5 mill the next two seasons) to fit Avril, Williams and Burleson (and the new deal Megatron's bound to receive) I think it's a move that has to be made. KVB's been a huge part of the turnaround over the past few seasons, but in order to keep a solid young nucleus of players he might have to get axed.
By Jon on Mar 4, 2012 | Reply
If they end up having to let guys go from last year's team for salary cap reasons, I can think of 4 guys who should get walking papers before C. Williams, Burleson, and Avril. All of these guys already make $3-plus million/year, as far as I know.
1. Stephen Peterman. He's 30, and has never been more than an average guard since Rod Marinelli brought him in 6 years ago. Leonard Davis or Dylan Gandy would be good short-term band-aids, & we can draft a good G in the 3rd or 4th rd.
2. Gosder Cherilus. I know a lot of people agree with me on this one. He was a 1st-rounder, but seems to have worn out his welcome with nothing but mediocre play. Hold a 3-way competition for his spot between Hilliard, Fox, and Culbreath.
3. Stephen Tulloch. Yes, he is the best MLB the Lions have had since Stephen Boyd, and everyone seems to like him (including me). The problem is that he is a good-not-great MLB who wants to be paid like Brian Urlacher. Maybe it's just me, but the run defense seemed tougher in 2010 with a starting LB trio of Carpenter-Levy-Palmer than it did this past year after bringing in Tulloch and Durant. I say put the Brinks truck of cash that Tulloch wants and put it toward re-signing Avril, if they can't afford both of them.
4. Shaun Hill. His contract is up, and I see no reason to bring him back. He made $3 million last year for holding a clipboard. I understand the need for a good #2 QB with Stafford's injury history, but Stanton is a hometown favorite and would make a capable #2 for much less cash than Hill would command.

This was much welcomed new. Corey Williams and Nate have been nothing but productive players and positive influences on our young guys.

A group of 14 of us went for dinner. First, the front of the desk was not helpful in looking for our reservations. Some parts of the buffet was not replenished despite reminders to the staff. The Chawanmushi and chili crab dishes were empty for more than 1 hour. I don't think the buffet and service warrants a repeat visit. There are other better buffets around.
