Norfolk's Richard Bloomfield won the latest AEGON British Tour event at Sheffield.
Thursday, January 10, 2013
The 2013 campaign began well for Norfolk professional Richard Bloomfield as he took the title at the first AEGON British Tour event of the year.
Competing at the Graves Centre in Sheffield, Bloomfield defeated British number five Dan Evans in the final to win his first title on the British Tour since an event at the same venue in February last year.
In a draw that boasted the talents of Evans and British number two Josh Goodall, both regular members of the British Davis Cup team, Bloomfield was the form player throughout.
Seeded three, the Norfolk man was awarded a bye through the opening round before taking on Chris Anguelov from Middlesex in round two.
Anguelov had a win under his belt after defeating qualifier Mehdi Naqvi, but found Bloomfield to be an entirely different proposition and a 6-3, 6-1 win for the seed set up a quarter-final with Cheshire's David Porter. Bloomfield's latest opponent faired only slightly better than Anguelov and picked up one more game for a 6-2, 6-3 scoreline.
The semi-final was expected to be a clash between Bloomfield and top seed Josh Goodall, but during his quarter-final match with youngster Tom Farquharson, Goodall was forced to retire when 4-2 down in the first set, leaving Bloomfield with an easier task on paper.
Farquharson is a talented player, however, and forced the former top 200 player to work hard for his place in the final.
After a straightforward first set, the second was closely contested before Bloomfield found the all-important break of serve late on to book a final spot with a 6-3, 7-5 victory.
His opponent in the final, Warwickshire's Evans, had beaten him in successive finals in September and October 2012 but this time Bloomfield was able to stop that trend in some style.
Evans, ranked inside the world's top 300, had no response to Bloomfield's big hitting game and the third seed ran away with the opening set, 6-0. The second set was closer, but the tone of the match had been set and before long Bloomfield served out the match.
In the ladies event, eighth seed Pippa Horn from Norfolk won her first round 6-2, 7-5 against Georgia Craven from Yorkshire but was unable to play her second round match.

Dish's Charlie Ergen: ad skipper protects kids from junk food and alcohol commercials
Posted By Andy Vuong On June 26, 2012 @ 3:53 pm In Dish Network,Technology,Telecommunications | 3 Comments
Dish Network chairman Charlie Ergen, scheduled to testify tomorrow about the future of video before the House Communications and Technology subcommittee, believes the satellite-TV company's commercial-skipping technology can help protect children from junk food and beer ads.
According to prepared testimony filed with the subcommittee, Ergen also says Douglas County-based Dish will take on significant risk to "build the most advanced wireless network in the U.S."
AutoHop, launched in May, allows Dish subscribers who have the company's Hopper DVR to automatically skip commercials while watching recorded content with a click of a button at the beginning of the recording.
"This means that allowing your kids to watch TV doesn't have to mean they have no choice but to see commercials for junk food and alcohol," Ergen said.
The controversial AutoHop feature has drawn widespread criticism from broadcast-TV executives and led to competing lawsuits. Fox has said the feature has a "clear goal of violating copyrights and destroying the fundamental underpinnings of the broadcast television ecosystem."
As for the future of video, Ergen believes consumers "want to be able to watch programming on their TV sets, on their phones and on their tablets — no matter where they are. They also want to be able to surf the web or make a phone call — again, no matter where they are."
To stay competitive, Dish is prepared to bet the company on a mobile broadband network, as it did when it went from selling big dishes to launching a small-dish, DBS business, Ergen said.
"To give customers what they want, including mobile video, voice, and data, we will have to take a significant risk once again," he said. "We want to build the most advanced wireless network in the U.S. to compete against the well-established incumbents, but we need to begin as soon as possible to have a chance."
Dish has already spent billions of dollars acquiring wireless spectrum and will have to spend billions more to build out a network. The company wants the FCC to ease rules tied to the spectrum before it proceeds with the project.

Drita tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively why she's splitting from her cheating husband: 'I could never lay with a man that I know was with someone else!'
During the season finale of Mob Wives, star Drita D'avanzo found out that her husband Lee D'avanzo had an affair during his stint between prison sentences. Because of this Drita decided to consult a divorce attorney on her options and refused to tell Lee that she was doing so. But since then, Drita has confronted Lee about his infidelities and decided to go through with a divorce!
"Right now it looks like I'm going to 100% [get divorced]," Drita tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. "I did speak to him and we do not speak anymore since I confronted him about it. We don't talk."
Lee lied to Drita about what happened. "He said exactly what I thought he was going to say," says Drita. "He said it wasn't true, but I know it is. It's just something that I don't see him confessing to. I don't really need his confession, I just need him to know that I'm not going to be there for him anymore."
"It's not easy, but I'm too prideful and I could never lay with a man that I know was with someone else," continues Drita. "I can't do it. I'm still heartbroken."
Because of what Lee did to her, Drita doesn't know what the future holds for her love life. "I don't think I'm ever trusting anybody ever again," she admits. "I'd rather be by myself than with somebody I can't trust. I'm used to being alone."
Right now, Drita's just trying to remain positive. "I'm putting my mind and energy completely into making money on my businesses with my cosmetic line, Just Me, and the workout DVD coming out," shares Drita.
"Always have something to fall back on because depending on the man is the worst thing," Drita advises other women who are going through similar situations. "And keep your friends! I've seen so many lose their friends during their marriage and stop working — they depend on their husband. That's why they're staying because they're stuck. I feel like there is a noose around my neck — that's why I've always worked."
And Drita only has one message for her soon-to-be ex-hubby, the same one she delivered to him when she confronted him. "I said, 'You really did make so many mistakes in your life, but this could be the worst,'" Drita says. "'Just to lose your family, it's not worth it.'"

I could tell on the show, that you really love your hubby, but what you are doing is the best thing. After all you have daughters, and you want to teach them to be indipendant, strong women. Not women that are going to allow their husbands or boyfriends cheat on them. You are doing the right thing. Stay strong. I respect you and my prayers are with you and your kids. Once a cheater always a cheater. Divorce him while he's still in jail, so he gets served while in there. After all he disrespected you, so what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Best of Luck to you!!!!!!

I enjoyed the first season so much and can relate Karen returning home from Arizona to be near family and friends. All though the season ended the way it did, they will all work through their issues with each other and their own personal lives. Because of Karen, I too am returning back to the city/state I was born and raised in and to who I really am. I NEVER truly realized how much I missed my roots and true Italian stores/bakery shops and be able to buy ingredients so that I can cook the way my mom, grandmother and aunties taught me. Thank you ladies! By the way, how can I find out where to shop for Drita's cosmetic line. She has beautiful skin! Each of you women are charmers. Looking forward to your second season.

Fire up the party!
South Florida Sun-Sentinel 3:49 PM EDT, May 11, 2008
MIRAMAR - Gunfire erupted at a birthday party early Sunday, sending two people to the hospital, police spokesman Bill Robertson said.
The shooting in the 14800 block of Southwest 54th Street stemmed from a party guest trying to get a drink, Robertson said. About 4:30 a.m., guest India Nevada Footman tried to go into the home's kitchen to get a drink, but a man there refused to let the 21-year-old inside and instead punched Footman in the head.
Footman went to an upstairs bedroom to get her friend Brandy Dudley, with whom she had traveled from their homes in the Orlando area. The women grabbed their bags and were about to leave when a second man punched Footman.
That's when Dudley, 27, pulled out a gun, Robertson said. Two men rushed at Dudley and she fired.
That caused a third man to grab a gun from the second floor and shoot at Dudley.
Dudley was struck in the hip, Robertson said. The party's disc jockey, Rohan Omar McLaughlin, was struck in the chest, but police do not yet know by which shooter.
A wounded Dudley managed to leave the house, to get help from a neighbor in The Reserve at Huntington community. Meanwhile, two males chased down Footman.
Police are still interviewing witnesses, including the party's host, Latoya Douglas, 29, to get answers, Robertson said. About 50 people were at the party, he said.
Paramedics took Dudley and McLaughlin, 26, to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood. Their injuries were not life-threatening.
No arrests have been made.

Last Night's Innovative Kitchen Collaboration With Jamie DeRosa and Paula DaSilva (Photos)
We write about culinary events all the time.Photo courtesy Brustman Carrino PR Chef Chef Paula DaSilva with Belkys Nerey and Jamie DeRosa
Whether it's an individual dinner, a food festival, or a group of chefs preparing a meal, each one tends to focus on each chef showing off his or her individual style.
While we're all about sampling different styles of food in one fell swoop, these sorts of tastings aren't exactly groundbreaking -- every now and then it's nice to see something that diverges from the same old path.
Last night Paula DaSilva teamed up with Jamie DeRosa at Tongue & Cheek in Miami Beach for the last Kitchen Collaboration dinner of the season.
The pair were joined by local celebrity chefs, 7 News anchor Belkys Nerey, and a bunch of eager foodies looking to sample the innovative synergistic cuisine.

After about four weeks of planning with multiple email exchanges between DaSilva and DeRosa, the pair settled on menu plan with a welcome reception of snacks and cocktails.
"One of us would start something and then add or take away an ingredient or component," said DaSilva. "We started out at A and ended up at M or N. Our choice of flavors and styles are so different; we had to marry them together."

digital guide shows "to be announced" where programs should be
There are two reasons for to be announced.
The first is when the cable box loses AC power or gets rebooted. The guide then needs to be downloaded again and it can take 24 hours or more depending on if the whole area lost power and all the boxes in the area need guide downloading.
The second reason is you having signal issues on the narrowband channel the guide information is carried on. This normally would need a tech visit to correct.
Also, make sure you are not routing your coax through any AC surge protector strip coax ports.

McMahon Seeks Emergency Order Vs. City

Posted to: Politics, Campaign 2012
Republican Linda McMahon brought her Senate campaign into deep Democratic country Thursday—opening a downtown New Haven office and moving to haul city officials into state court over alleged ballot problems.
City Hall's top lawyer swung back, accusing McMahon's campaign of concocting a bogus legal complaint and gumming up the works in the final, storm-wracked days of preparing for next Tuesday's election.
City officials Thursday afternoon scrambled to respond to a letter from a McMahon lawyer, and to respond to the campaign's allegations before Superior Court Judge Antonio Robaina in state court in Hartford at 11 a.m. Friday.
At day's end, the city and the campaign agreed to a postponement of the hearing until 2 p.m. Friday. Meanwhile, the campaign's lawyer is coming to New Haven to meet with city officials to see if they can settle the issue among themselves. [Update Friday 11:30 a.m.: The meeting led McMahon's lawyer to conclude that there was no reason to pursue the case further. Read about that here.)
In its request for an emergency order, the campaign asked Robaina to order New Haven to:
• "certify that it has ordered enough ballots for each precinct for the coming election."
• otherwise "institute security and counting measures in the event that unscannable, photocopied ballots are used."
• "purge the voter file of individuals that are not eligible to vote in the city."
The action caused a stir in the city that has come to provide Democrats the biggest vote pluralities in statewide elections. Democrat Chris Murphy is believed to need a big turnout in New Haven this year to defeat McMahon.
The latest legal action stems from a McMahon complaint that New Haven failed to respond to a certified letter sent to the city on Monday seeking clarifications on voting procedures. The letter demanded a response by close of business Tuesday.
That steamed City Corporation Counsel Victor Bolden. Bolden called the McMahon campaign's actions a "waste of time" that comes at the expense of preparing for a smooth election.
Bolden noted that the McMahon campaign letter—written by attorney Herbert J. Shepardson of the Hartford firm Cooney, Scully and Dowling—was sent at the height of Superstorm Sandy, when government was shut down and all officials (including Bolden) were working extra shifts trying to keep people safe. He noted that he didn't even receive the letter until Wednesday. He further said that the issues raised were canards, that the city has printed more than the required number of ballots for the election.
"Do you send a letter on the day of Hurricane Sandy? That says it all," remarked Bolden as he huddled with mayoral Chief of Staff Sean Matteson and city voting registrars Sharon Ferrucci and Rae Tramantano in Tramantano's office Thursday afternoon.
"Municipalities are struggling with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, and you've got people who want to play games. It's just to draw attention. Now I've got to take [Rae] Tramantano to Hartford when we've lost two days because of the storm, because of political games."
McMahon spokesman Todd Abrajano denied that accusation. Rather, he said the campaign has identified a serious concern about the city's ability to conduct the election properly.
The McMahon campaign wants to ensure that New Haven has enough ballots for everyone who wants to vote, attorney Shepardson claimed in his Monday letter to the city.
"[I]t is not only important that people be able to vote, but also that there be an accurate and fair counting process in place which is integral to an open democracy," Shepardson wrote.
The campaign asked all major cities to provide full certification, as required by law, that they have enough ballots on hand for Election Day, Abrajano said. He said he didn't have a list of which specific municipalities the compaign contacted, but said the list included Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury.
"New Haven was the only municipality that failed to" prove it's ready for the election, Abrajano said. "Even Bridgeport has their act together this time."
He was referring to problems faced in 2010 when Bridgeport ran out of ballots, and it took days to complete a controversial hand-count there that raised many eyebrows. Click here, here and here to read Thomas MacMillan's coverage of that fiasco.
New Haven's top Republican elections official, Registrar Tramantano (pictured), took offense at any comparison to vote-counting in New Haven and in Bridgeport.
"We have no history of never having enough ballots," Tramantano said.
Shepardson's letter to the city began by noting that the city's "certification of ballot ordering" filed with the state "raised some concerns":
• Number one: It lacked a required signature.
• It showed the city ordering only 150 ballots for the Third Ward polling place in the Hill, Career High School. Yet 804 people voted there in 2008, and the ward has over 1,400 registered voters.
• The info for one polling place, in the 11th Ward, "provides no historical or contemporaneous information upon which to judge whether enough ballots have been ordered."
In an interview and in a response letter drafted Thursday afternoon, Bolden said the city has in fact ordered 1,500 ballots for the Career High spot. The 150 notation was a typo, he said.
And he said the city had a good reason for not making historical comparisons for the 11th Ward spot in question—because it's a new spot.
The main point, he and Tramantano said, is that the city has ordered well more ballots than can possibly be used: 110 percent of the number of registered voters. It ordered 75,200 ballots. The city has 70,558 registered voters.

The Urban Stronghold
Thursday's actions occurred against the backdrop of vote-pulling math: Democrats can't win statewide office without winning big in New Haven, which has the largest local party and an energized labor-led vote-pulling operation. From the start of this campaign, Democrat Murphy's campaign has made a priority of trying to excite that base this year in order to approximate Dan Malloy's 18,613-vote New Haven margin in the 2010 gubernatorial election.
Republicans have basically stopped running for office for here—for mayor, for alderman, for state legislator.
And yet—the Linda McMahon's campaign has just opened to a U.S. Senate campaign office in downtown New Haven—for Republican candidate Linda McMahon.
Job-seekers, all African-American, shuttled in and out of McMahon's new city headquarters Thursday morning on State Street between Elm and Wall.
Word got out that jobs were to be had—for some, working the polls on election day Tuesday, for others, canvassing neighborhoods.
McMahon's office-opening and similar efforts in Hartford and Bridgeport signal that rather than ceding the cities, she plans at least to work at keeping down Murphy's margin of victory in his urban strongholds. She has also released an ad targeted at black voters suggesting they split their ticket between her and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
"We'll have dozens and dozens of people out this weekend going door to door for Linda McMahon in New Haven," campaign manager Corry Bliss said Thursday. "Linda McMahon is not a typical candidate."
Murphy's New Haven headquarters, which doubles as the state Democratic Party slate's city HQ, is on Whalley Avenue near the corner of Sperry Street.
Casandra Lowery (pictured) was among those filling out paperwork Thursday morning to work for Linda McMahon on election day. She was asked what prompted her to sign up with McMahon.
"I'll be real with you," responded Lowery, who in past elections has worked for former Democratic Alderman Greg Morehead in the Dixwell neighborhood. "Because of the money."
Another canvasser (at left in photo) about to start distributing McMahon flyers around town said she does support McMahon—"because I'm a woman!"
Office manager Luisa Guerra said the McMahon troops have been canvassing New Haven "for some time" before opening the office.

Linda McMahon is just desperate. I could beat Chris Murphy with $50 million in my back pocket. Sadly we have two unaccomplished, not so great, unproven candidates.
Congrats Chris Murphy! You win by default. There is no way you can be as evil as Ms. Linda.
posted by: lrnoff on November 1, 2012 7:59pm
Please, please people of New Haven-do not let Linda McMahon buy her way into the senate! She has been able to run a campaign with unlimited funds. Chris Murphy is the better person and would be the better senator for our state. You need to think very carefully before you vote. Her only asset is her fortune, and she made it by exploiting men and women in a fake sport.

Wow - you ask the city and the democrat party to certify that the election will be clean and quite a dust up is created.
I worked the downtown polling location in 2008…..believe me, you would be shocked at how lax the supervisors were in making sure IDs were valid and one person equaled one vote. If McMahon is successful in creating a clean election in the city of New Haven, she will likely gain hundreds, if not thousands of net votes.
It doesn't seem so ridiculous to ask that an election be run according to the law.

How cool that Team Linda is worried whether a Democratic stronghold like New Haven will have enough ballots for its Murphy vote!
posted by: dmarie on November 1, 2012 11:44pm
As a poll worker, I'm SURE you know, SaveOurCity, that anything with a person's name and address OR name and signature, OR name and photo on it works as a "valid" ID when voting in Connecticut. Utility bill, pay stub, car registration, doesn't matter, all valid. And I'm also sure you know that, technically, one only needs to show that ID the FIRST time one votes in a federal election in a polling place. One can sign an affidavit affirming your identity and still vote without ID as long as one has shown it in the past. I'm SURE you know these things, and that you're simply not making things up to create the false impression that New Haven does not run it elections correctly. Surely you wouldn't do that.

Just shows you McMhon didn't become rich and successful being nice. Seems to me she desperatly claws her way to get what she wants. What SHE wants, not what the people of CT want. Also I have worked at the polls in the hill for many years (95 percent democratic) and we were told before we started to always asked for ID and make sure the addrress on the ID was the same as the address on the voters list. This was always taken very serious in my ward.
posted by: lrnoff on November 2, 2012 7:47am
If the McMahon people were legitimately worried about election day rules in New Haven, they would have asked for whatever paperwork they felt they needed weeks ago. 8 days before the election, while the whole state is recovering from a storm, is not the appropriate time if you are truly only looking to verify that all will be done according to the law.
Seems pretty transparent to me. Don't let them fool you.
posted by: SaveOurCity on November 2, 2012 7:59am
FromTheHill: I'm glad to hear that your district runs an honest and fair poll. That is critical to a functioning Democracy
dmarie: Yes, your assumptions are correct. All of us who worked the polls that day were briefed on the rules and what constituted valid identification at 5:45 that morning. We were told to bring any 'issues' to management. That's why it was so disturbing that when a bus full of folks, NONE of whom could produce valid ID, arrived late in the day and were told they could vote because 'we know them'. This was then followed by a major effort to match those folks with names of registered voters who had not shown up that day. Sounds like I should have worked in The Hill that day.

McMahon is a scoundrel. When she can't buy her seat, she tries to cheat her way in. Under what premise should the Corporate Counsel even be responding to a letter from McMahon's attorney? Who cares if it is "certified"—that means nothing. If McMahon wants to make complaints, she can do it after the election when she is sitting at home having been handed a second straight loss at the expense of $100 million wasted (money that could have been spent to assist our state, not pepper it with repetitive untruthful ads). Americans who believe in democracy will not be cowed by this woman's shameless attempts to undermine our voting process through financial and legal shenanigans. Let McMahon show her bona fides by running for dogcatcher before she tries to buy a US Senate seat. I bet she'd lose, even if she bought every dog a bone.

SaveOurCity, wow! I grew up in the ward I worked in so most of the people voting I knew and I still had to ask for ID even my family members showed me ID it was a little uncomfortable but The moderator went strickly by the rules and still dose.

I've watched all the political commercials and conclude that Murphy wants to tar McMahon to the republican party and claims the republicans will destroy social security and medicare. What bull. If he's elected he will reach a bipartisan hand across the aisle in congress and get the back of a republicans hand. Linda will follow the bipartisan traditions of Lieberman when elected.

I am stunned by the number of McMahon flyers I have received in the mail, and how dishonest they are. I am SICK of it.
She seems to have unlimited funds—including to pay people to ring my doorbell (SICK of that too) and to write comments on the NHI site.
Let's get this straight, since she doesn't mention it on her flyers: Linda McMahon is the Republican candidate. (How could she fail to mention that?) She does NOT support an Obama presidency.
And, judging by her own campaign literature, I conclude that she is:
(1) no friend to women
(2) no friend to the working or middle class
(3) power hungry, and willing to do anything to buy a Senate seat.

SaveOurCity, et all:
I appreciate your attempt to do your duty at the polls. Unfortunately, you've misunderstood the rules or been misinformed.
This is the Secretary of the State document, and all you need to have to know who needs to show ID.
Apologies for the all caps, but I need this to be clear:
IF YOU ARE A FIRST TIME VOTER is the key phrasing, AND YOU HAVE A CHECK NEXT TO YOUR NAME, you must show ID.
EVERYONE ELSE on the list does not need to show ID, and if you must show ID but do not have it, you simply submit a "provisional ballot", which you, SaveOurCity, submit to the Registrar of Voters. YOU do not need to verify anything. It is the job of the Registrar of Voters to ensure that the person was legitimate at that point.
The only study to date to show that voter fraud by way of misrepresentation is a large issue has since revised their findings, from 54,000 fraudulent votes, to 1, which they admit may have been a legitimate vote. (It turned out that the vote was cast by a real person, who only voted once, although ballot officials incorrectly identified a dead man with a similar name.)
This is a nonsense argument, centered around a hoax, being perpetuated by one member of the Republican party (Hans von Spakovsky, who was unable to name a single person who had been the victim of stolen identity in voting when asked by a reporter).
While voting irregularities and fraud happen routinely (ballot stuffing), elections are simply not won on a few individuals impersonating others. It would be discovered and found out when the same person voted 3 or 4 times.
Hans von Spakovsky found 1 example when given time: one of whom has an identical name to his son (who had earlier voted that day, so he was barred, until they resolved the situation). That leaves him with exactly 0 cases of someone impersonating someone else to vote.
The whole thing is silly.
posted by: SaveOurCity on November 2, 2012 9:45pm
apparently, I must stand corrected. The fact that the law does not require a person to legally identify themselves obviously translates to the fact that there has never been a fraudulent vote cast in the city of New Haven (despite what many people have personally seen and experienced). I obviously do not understand the sparking clean city that has been created by our one party system (cleaner than Moscow, some would say).

Thank you streever.
It seams to me that this was just some stunt, and a kick in the teeth to a city that does not have enough money to do the things it needs to do. One more reason to vote against her—as if I needed another.

Former Governor Lowell Weicker said on NPR recently that, "CT is a microcosm of the U.S."
I see CT becoming more of an "Independent" state and by that I mean more people are starting to think for themselves as opposed to casting their vote based strictly on party affiliation. I tend to lean more towards a progressive point of view. My conscience convicts me to vote for a candidate that I can reasonably believe is a trustworthy person and has a credible plan to help all CT residents, especially the poor. Those of us that are not poor have been blessed with gifts that have enabled us to overcome life's economic challenges for ourselves.
I don't believe that Linda McMahon is the candidate that I can support in this race. I have historically voted for both democrats and republicans. I could list all of the things that lead me to this conclusion but I didn't think that voter suppression would've been on my list until now.
Linda, if you're really serious about CT politics, I suggest you run for local or state office and build a reputation as serious political leader. Deep pockets aren't enough to make you believable enough that I should trust you when so much is at stake.

Just got a phone call. A young woman, clearly reading off a script in a VERY noisy room, asked me if Linda McMahon could count on my vote on Tuesday. I guffawed, and exclaimed "Not if she were the last candidate on earth!" The woman laughed, and I asked if she was getting a lot of that. "Oh, yeah," she said. I asked her if at least Linda was paying her well, to which the woman replied "it's a job." That's some great support Linda has there. And a MONUMENTAL waste of money if her list wasn't parsed enough to have eliminated ME and my bleeding heart liberal New Haven Democrat voting habits. Is she just calling the Connecticut phone book? Wouldn't be surprised if she was.

TUCSON, Ariz. - Doctors say an Arizona congresswoman is breathing on her own after being shot in the head.
Dr. Michael Lemole, Giffords' neurosurgeon, says they've left a breathing tube in Rep. Gabrielle Giffords to protect her airway, but the congresswoman is drawing breaths on her own. She's alert and responding to doctors.
Six people are still hospitalized after the shooting Saturday at a Tucson grocery store. The attack killed six and injured 14 others.
Giffords, a three-term Democrat, was gravely wounded. A federal judge was among those killed.

Daryn A. Kagan (born January 26, 1963) is an American broadcast journalist, formerly a news anchor for CNN.
From 1994 to 2006, Kagan served as a CNN main anchor and correspondent based in CNN's world headquarters of Atlanta, Georgia. She anchored CNN Live Today shown from 10am-12pm Eastern Time for eight years. She also served as host of the CNN/People magazine news entertainment program, People in the News,[1] and earlier served as a CNN sports reporter and anchor.
After leaving CNN, she launched DarynKagan.com.
Kagan grew up in Beverly Hills, California. She is a 1981 graduate of Beverly Hills High School where she ran cross-county,[2] and a 1985 graduate of Stanford University.[3]
After graduating from Stanford, Kagan sent out hundreds of demo tapes. Kagan was hired for an on-air job at a Santa Barbara television station, KEYT-TV. Kagan's next move was to a general assignment reporting position at KTVK in Phoenix. Wanting to do something other than report typical local news stories, she took on the additional role of weekend sports anchor, reporting sports news each weekend in addition to her weekday reporting duties.[4]
After KTVK did not renew Kagan's contract,[5] Jim Walton, the head of CNN/SI, hired Kagan as sports anchor and correspondent. She went on to cover events that indluded the Super Bowl, the NBA Playoffs, and international figure skating championships from Russia. Kagan was later hired from CNN Sports by CNN's news division and became a main CNN news anchor and correspondent.
After becoming a CNN news anchor, Kagan reported on presidential and mid-term elections. She reported on-site from the Middle East during the second Gulf War and the Washington, D.C. sniper attack investigation. Kagan traveled to Africa with musician Bono where she reported on AIDS and famine for all of the CNN networks. While in Africa, Kagan maintained a daily blog on CNN.com of her reports and experiences. Additionally, she reported live, from the red carpet, of several Academy Award ceremonies and from the Monterey Jazz Festival.
She has been prank called three times on the air by Captain Janks from the Howard Stern show.
Kagan is one of a handful of national news anchors who was on the air live during the terrorist attacks on the morning of September 11, 2001. She reported throughout that day and, in later days, covered the unfolding story from CNN headquarters in Atlanta and from the network's Washington, D.C. bureau.
After CNN declined to renew her employment contract,[6] Kagan left CNN on September 1, 2006 to launch DarynKagan.com. In November 2006, Kagan discussed leaving CNN for the first time with U.S News & World Report.[7]
Kagan launched DarynKagan.com, on November 13, 2006. The Boston Globe has described Kagan's site as having as "bucking the media tide with an emphasis on stories that illustrate the triumph of the human spirit."[8] In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Kagan discussed her career reinvention, and said "I think it's really important to be informed. I just also think it's important to be inspired."[9]
Kagan has extended her DarynKagan.com brand of content to television news documentaries, radio, and books.[10] Her first TV film, Breaking the Curse, aired on PBS and won the 2008 Gracie Award for Outstanding Documentary.[11] Kagan produced and narrated the film, which told the present day story of one American woman fighting for those living with leprosy in India. Kagan's first book, What's Possible!, was released in 2008 by Meredith Books, and was described by the Associated Press as "stories about people who overcame obstacles to achieve dreams."[12][13][14] Her next film, Solartown USA, about a Wisconsin town that made a commitment to solar power in the 1970s.[12] Oprah Radio began to run DarynKagan.com content each day beginning in March 2009 on SIRIUS XM radio.[15]
Kagan's post-CNN projects have been honored with awards that include the 2008 Gracie Award for Outstanding Documentary for her PBS film Breaking the Curse,[16] as well as the Interactive Media Award for DarynKagan.com, which serves as the base of her media company.
Kagan sees her story as one of "reinvention,"[17] and she speaks around the country on that topic.[18]
Kagan is Jewish.[5] Her great-grandfather was a Russian immigrant named Eiser Cohen who came to the United States through Ellis Island.[19] Cohen settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her grandfather, Jack Kagan, later moved to the Los Angeles area.[20] Her mother, Phyllis Kagan, is a breast cancer survivor who has appeared on CNN discussing the disease.[21] Kagan has a younger sister named Kallan, an executive at Arc Productions, and an older brother named Mark.
Kagan was an athlete: she was on her high school track team and remains an avid runner.[22] She has been on ESPN sports radio providing her insight.
In September 2004, Kagan became romantically involved with radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, but they broke up in February 2006.[23]
Kagan has adopted a three-legged cat, Tripod,[24] and a dog, Darla Louise, from rescue shelters.[25]

Jeb Hensarling visits Tyler
POSTED: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 - 4:51pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 - 12:17pm
Texas District 5 Congressman Jeb Hensarling was in Tyler Tuesday for a conversation with the press.
With all the issues facing the Congress, it was a rare chance to talk with the Chairman of the House Republican Conference in person.
These days, it's tough to get interview time with a US Congressman, particularly one that's in their party's leadership.
But Congressman Jeb Hensarling is making a whirlwind tour of his district and we do mean whirlwind. We only had a few minutes to hit on as many topics as possible.
"Those are the principles I'm working for. Pro immigration, respect for the rule of law, secure borders and people who come to America not drawn by welfare checks but drawn by the opportunity."
"That doesn't really address the 12-million who are already here…who did come here for work," KETK countered.
"Well we don't really know," he replied. "Again, a lot of people come here. I don't necessarily consider them bad people. People are just trying to feed their family."
The budget…
"We will have a fundamentally different America if we don't quit spending money we don't have," Hensarling declared.
And the recent flap over the so-called Republican Party autopsy announced by party Chair Rence Priebus led to this exchange.
"I'm not dodging your question, but I haven't read the report," Hensarling said.
"Well, you seen the speeches, heard the analysis."
"Actually, I haven't," he contended.
"Outreach to Hispanics…does the party need to improve that?"
"Listen, I've always learned more from my defeats than my victories," he finally told us. "And clearly, my party got defeated for the White House. And so, I think there are a lot of things our party could do better, there's no doubt about that."
And, Congressman Hensarling talked about the murders in Kaufman County.
"Well, it is absolutely a frightening situation. We are going to pledge whatever resources are necessary, however long it takes to have justice be done. Because again, this is an attack on the American justice system."
Hensarling feels that the two parties can agree on a path to fiscal responsibility.
But it will take a lot more work, and public pressure.

"Newell has a wealth of experience and brings a very positive, upbeat attitude to our hockey club," general manager Don Maloney said. "His primary focus will be our power play and creating more offensive opportunities in our games."
Brown, 51, spent the past three seasons as an assistant coach for the Canucks. He held previous assistant coaching positions with the Anaheim Ducks, Columbus Blue Jackets and Chicago Blackhawks, dating back to 1996.
He was a head coach for three seasons at Michigan Tech and four seasons with the Adirondack Red Wings of the AHL.

We ran a post a while back about the pending Antiquorum auction of a Longines watch given to Albert Einstein back in the early 1930s. The estimate provided by Antiquorum was $25,000-$35,000, which for a watch that was by all definitions nothing special at all (besides the famous owner factor), seemed to be pretty reasonable.
Well, Antiquorum had their auction today and lets just say the Einstein watch beat the estimates.....by a lot. This watch sold for $520,000. Yes you read that right, over half of a million dollars. So the watch sold for $520,000, but then there is the auctioneers fee the buyer has to pay on top of that, bringing the total to an absolutely mind-blowing $596,000 (Recession? What Recession?).
This just goes to show you why valuing vintage and rare watches is so hard. All you need is one real fan (or one real nut job in this case) and all bets are off.

I didn't think that coming out to my mother would feel this lousy. I was open about my sexuality in school, evrywhere, except my family. I am such a self-confident person but my mother was too conservative to be that way at home. But today, she looked at me and ask me that question, I couldn't lie I just couldn't. Then she said the most ridiculous and hurtful word; "why?" like as if I decided to be this way to piss her off. I love my mother terribly but now Im looking at her differently, and her at me. Its so awkward around the house, I'm begeining to regret telling her. I just want it to end. I want to be her good little daughter, and her to still be my loving mother. But nothing is ever that simple.....
shit...this makes me feel a little less confidant of what my mom will say when i come out..
i mean...i feel like i have to...
oh well...
ill deal with whatever happens and whatever happens, happens.
life is hell.
enjoy it while you can.
look My mom isn't the same as yours so don't completely think that it will be the same 4 you. my two best frinds date each other and both their parents are ok w/ it. one thing I will tell you it is a big burden off you shoulders. I know feel I can love my mom fully know that this lie is out from between us. I just wish she will realize the same. But don't worry, yer mom could always accept it and u'll have wondered y u didn't tell her sooner. Decide for yer self when and where yer ready.
"whatever happens here, at least I know I got it being me"

Charitable Lottery Structure and Fund Raising: Theory and Evidence

Do fixed-prize charitable lotteries generate more net revenue than do revenue-dependent lotteries? I present the results of an experiment designed to test a theoretical prediction of the relationship between the prize structure of a lottery funding a public good and individuals' participation in the lottery. I find that a fixed-prize lottery configuration induces significantly greater participation and a significantly higher level of public good funding than does a revenue-dependent lottery.

OTTAWA — Indian Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl on Thursday faced an ultimatum from First Nations chiefs who warned Canada would face a prolonged campaign of economic disruption in the coming year unless the federal government immediately moves to resolve long-standing grievances.
Strahl was hit with the ultimatum during a question-and-answer session with chiefs, following his speech to the Assembly of First Nations special chiefs assembly.
The confrontation reflected the gathering's increasingly feisty mood. Chiefs passed a resolution calling for an "international year of action" on Wednesday.
In an orchestrated move, the chiefs first demanded Strahl commit the federal government to support major improvements to native education. Then they delivered their terms.
"We are not begging, we will move forward one way or another. We will do what has to be done," said Kitigan Zibi Chief Gilbert Whiteduck, whose community sits next to Maniwaki, Que., about 120 kilometres north of Ottawa. "I am calling upon you to work with us."
With chiefs and delegates standing in support, Whiteduck said native leaders wanted increased funding for education from the federal government and support for efforts to create native-controlled education systems based on First Nations languages and culture. The dollar amount contemplated hovered in the $1.5 billion range, Whiteduck said in a separate interview.
"We want today a commitment on your part to engage with us. Yes or no," he said.
After demands from chiefs from B.C., Saskatchewan and northern Quebec, Roseau River First Nations Chief Terrance Nelson then delivered the warning.
"We are going to stand between the white man and his money because we know the money comes from our resources. We don't want tax payer money, we want a share of our own wealth," said Nelson.
Nelson said chiefs across the country also planned to lobby every foreign embassy in Canada, U.S. journalists and countries interested in Canadian resources such as China to deal directly with First Nations.
"The question of whether or not there are going to be blockades this coming year is going to be answered by the Government of Canada," said Nelson, whose community is about 88 kilometres south of Winnipeg. "Are you going to work with us, or are you going to leave us where we are at?"
Strahl said he was willing to engage in talks with the chiefs.
"I want to be part of that discussion," said Strahl. "Education makes everything else we talk about easier."
But he also cautioned: "I don't think blockades get you what you want."
Bill Erasmus, the AFN regional chief from the Northwest Territories, said the mood of chiefs reminded him of his protest days in the 1970s and of Oka in 1990, when Mohawks faced off with the Canadian military near Montreal.
"The frustration level is mounting and people feel that this government has no desire to work with them," he said. "They have told the minister that he will have to work with the people . . . (or) they will do it. There will be roadblocks, and other things."
Those "other things" could include rail blockades, the shutdown of border crossings and the blocking of access to mines, according to discussions between chiefs.
Even chiefs from communities that had no plans to engage in roadblocks or blockades, supported the calls to action.
"I do support the frustration that the chiefs do have," said B.C.'s Kamloops Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson. "We support direct action, as we have in the past, but it doesn't mean we are going to shut down all the roads in our area. That is not what our people have mandated us to do."

As we wait for the game against the Coyotes to begin, let's consider two players over the past two seasons. Both are gritty, have good size, and are well-known and often mentioned as Top-10 players.
AHL Prospect Rankings: #17 – Bryan Young
Jonathan Willis
January 18 2009 01:00PM
Bryan Young was a fifth round pick in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, and could very well have the least offensive touch of any player in the Edmonton Oilers' system.

So I'll admit off the top that this post has almost nothing to do with the Edmonton Oilers specifically, beyond the fact that it could count as beating the dead "Garon has no trade value at all" horse. It is hockey-related though, and features Ray Emery!

MAC Mineralize Blush - Gentle
Average Rating 4.5/5 |
Review by NikkiDagger
Described as "raspberry with gold pearl", I would say that Gentle is more of a dusty mid-toned pink (like the color of a blush wine) with a gold sheen. I am C5/NC42 & only need a touch of this for it to show up on me, so I would suggest that fairer ladies be moderate. The base color combined with the "pearl" gives me a very natural blushed GLOW and I love it! It looks very similar to how I expected (or at least hoped) NARS Orgasm would on me.

So sweet! The Kardashians are setting aside their differences with Bruce Jenner and Lamar Odom this holiday season and extending them an invite to Thanksgiving dinner! Will Bruce and Lamar accept?
The holidays are a time for family and forgiveness and Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner is showing that she knows the importance of both by including her ex Bruce Jenner, and her daughter Khloe Kardashian's husband, Lamar Odom, in her family's Thanksgiving plans. Read on for more details!
Kardashian Thanksgiving Dinner — Lamar Odom & Bruce Jenner Invited
Kris, 57, and Bruce, 63, are making good on their promise to always be best friends despite their recent separation. Bruce has already accepted Kris' invitation to Thanksgiving dinner, and frankly, he's surprised that anyone would expect him to do otherwise, according to TMZ.
"Of course I'm going. It's my family," Bruce is telling his friends.
Lamar, on the other hand, still hasn't RSVPed to the Turkey Day feast, but the Kardashians want him and Bruce to know that they are still family — and they "always will be," sources tell TMZ.
There will be plenty of extra room at the Kardashian dinner table at Thanksgiving this year because Kim Kardashian and baby North West will be in Miami for Kanye West's tour during the holiday. They'll be missed!
Khloe Kardashian: Lamar Odom's Rapping Video Was Like A 'Slap In The Face'
Khloe was devastated after a video of Lamar talking about drugs, money and cheating surfaced online on Nov. 22.
She thought the video was "a slap in the face," a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "It's more disrespect thrown her way when all she ever wanted was a marriage and normal life with Lamar."
As hurt as Khloe may be, it looks like she's setting aside her anger over Lamar's latest indiscretion in honor of Thanksgiving. Who knows — maybe they will reunite over the holidays!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Was it nice of Kris to invite Bruce and Lamar to Thanksgiving dinner? Let us know!

Posted at 6:23 PM on November 27, 2013
Funny why uptill now TMZ and HL have not report uptill now that lamar odom is demanding $10 million dollars to keep the family secrets. I feel is ridiculous but is clearly they destructed Lamar's career. TMZ can not take Lamar's video from their header,everything is to go after him. Lamar claim khloe tore his family apart,I will believe it because khloe has been seen going to court with lamar to get custody his kids from the baby mama they called a fool for not getting married before having kids while they have the same in their family. When khloe claim lamar had a drug problem and him on the road and the kids in school. Who is going to take care of them. This whole story could have been cut short with a divorce.
Posted at 5:10 PM on November 27, 2013
HL cut the crap, this is not news, Kris and Bruce are on very good terms so of course he will be at Thanksgiving, you people are trying so desperately to make this dramatic, there is clearly no drama there, as for Lamar I'm sure he is always welcomed by their family regardless he is still married to Khloe, shut up and stop acting like you have some type of exclusive news.

'Ready for Love' Executive Producer Eva Longoria Reveals She Finds Dating Exhausting!
Actress and executive producer Eva Longoria phoned in to "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" to talk new dating show Ready for Love, and revealed although she herself finds dating exhausting, she does believe in matchmaking!
As executive producer, Eva revealed she decided to create the show because she felt there was a void to fill. "I tended to watch the crazy far-fetched gimmicky [dating shows] because the so-called normal ones were really boring to me and just so produced and not really realistic and just bad results, so I went to the crazy stuff like Flavor Flav and Rock of Love stuff like that…so that's why I thought there was a void in the dating format." Adding, "we wanted to modernize it and contemporize it and make it a little more of an authentic process."
Eva shares the sure-to-be-a-hit show accomplishes that goal by featuring three matchmakers who assist in the process of setting up the three eligible bachelors by utilizing "three really different approaches" and "a different philosophy on love." And it's not just for those featured on the show, in fact, Eva adds, "there are so many take aways for the audience [too]."
Plain White T's Bandmate Tim Lopez Reveals He Found Love on Ready for Love!
So what's behind the concept of love at third sight?!
Eva explains: "You have to go on three dates before you can brush someone off." Adding, "before you have any intimate deep conversations, you've got to give it a chance."
As for how Eva feels about dating herself? She doesn't dig it, but she does believe in matchmaking!
Eva laughs, "I find [dating] exhausting, but I'm a great matchmaker!"
Tune in to the premiere of Ready for Love on NBC tonight at 9/8c.

I am looking for information on Rado Miller and Ora Midkiff. Both resided in Sulphur Springs, KY around 1918. I am however not certain on the spelling of Mr. Millers first name. I believe they had five children together, two boys and three girls. I am also researching Thomas Harrison. His birthplace is Fordsville, KY in 1875 and lived in Narrows, Ky around 1905. His wife is Mary Charlotte Truman, aka Lottie, born in 1876 in Fordsville, KY.I am not sure of the number of children they had, however I know of a son named Orville in 1905. He later settled in the norwest region of Indiana.I appreciate any info you may have. |
