NORFOLK, Va. – The formula at this time of year is to win with defense and goaltending.
"That's defense, goaltending and competing," Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins coach John Hynes said Friday. "Everybody's playing for something at this time of year."
Pens goalie Peter Mannino is taking care of his part of the equation.
Mannino turned back 19 of 20 Norfolk shots and got goal support from Josh Archibald and Chuck Kobasew in giving the Penguins a 2-1 win Friday, keeping Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in fifth place in the Eastern Conference playoff race, six points behind fourth-place St. John's. The Pens are also only a point behind Binghamton in the East Division race.
St. John's and Binghamton also won Friday.
Mannino is nearing the end of a month in which he has won six times and not given up more than two goals in any of his nine starts.
"He's played well and I like the way our team is playing defense right now," Hynes said. "We try to play a sound game, but every team is going to have breakdowns. He's just been able to make the save when we have ours."
There weren't many in the Penguins' eighth win in their 11 March games, with another tonight against the Admirals.
Mannino got enough offensive support in the first 20-plus minutes to win it.
Archibald, thwarted twice in his first professional start on Wednesday against Providence, wouldn't be denied in Game No. 2. Archibald was trailing the play when Dominik Uher raced down the ice with the puck and took Norfolk's Kevin Gagne to the left wing side.
That left Archibald alone to receive the puck and beat Admiral goalie John Gibson for a 1-0 lead at 14:05 of the opening period.
The goal portended a bright future for the Pens, who were 20-0-2-1 when leading after a period.
"He had a couple of shots at Providence, but tonight it was nice to see him get his first goal," Hynes said. "You can see that he has some good instincts for finding the right spots to get chances."
The Pens also benefited from stout penalty killing unit earlier in the first. With Harry Zolnierczyk and Brian Dumoulin in the box for various transgressions, Wilkes-Barre killers frustrated Norfolk's power play for 1:31 of a 5-on-3 advantage, surrendering two shots and getting help from pucks that bounced over three Admiral sticks, loitering on the doorstep and set to take advantage of goalie Peter Mannino.
Wilkes-Barre and Norfolk traded second-period goals.
The Penguins took a 2-0 lead with only 47 seconds played when Norfolk's Jesse Blacker tried to clear a puck from his zone, and it ended up tangled in the legs of linesman Mark Hamlett at the blue line.
Andrew Ebbett scooped up the puck and headed to the left wing, from which he launched a shot. Closing fast, Chuck Kobasew tipped the puck past Gibson.
It was Kobasew's seventh goal and eighth point in six games since being sent down from Pittsburgh. The assist extended Ebbett's points streak to 10 games (three goals, 10 assists), longest ongoing run in the AHL.
"He's excited to play," Hynes said of Kobasew. "He wasn't having a great year with Pittsburgh (with only two goals) and he's down here trying to get his game going. He's a real high-character guy. He wants to play."
Playing on a line with Ebbett doesn't hurt.
"For sure," Hyne said. "They're really consistent, and it's nice to see them get rewarded for their work."
But Norfolk countered with a strong individual effort by Emerson Etem, who took a pass from David Steckel and headed in alone toward what appeared to be a well-defensed WBS goal.
Etem shook off Dumoulin's stick, spinning the defenseman around, and backhanded the puck past Mannino to make it 2-1.
The goal came at 12:34 and was scored on the first Admiral shot of the period.
From there, Norfolk generated little in losing its third game in a row and falling farther behind some of the competition for Eastern Conference playoff spots. The Admirals are in eighth.
"We're really not paying much attention to that," Hynes said. "We're just trying to win games and get points."

Industrialist Ratan Tata, who heads a conglomerate comprising nearly 100 companies, on Wednesday, said that his successor would be in place by the middle of the year and his step-brother was one of the contenders.
"...I hope that by the first half of this year, we'll be able to define a suitable candidate with whom one can overlap for a short period of time before I move on," Ratan Tata said in an interview to CNN International's 'Talk Asia' programme.
The 73-year-old Tata is scheduled to retire as Tata group chief in December 2012, when he turns 75, and a search panel was formed in August last year to find his successor.
Asked what were the chances of his successor not having Tata as the last name, the industrialist said that he would not like to comment on that.
".. my step-brother is one of the candidates that is being considered and I don't think it's my lot to, to say whether it's fifty per cent, or ninety per cent or ten percent so...," he added.
He was referring to 53-year old Noel Tata, Ratan Tata's half-brother and a senior group executive. Mr. Noel Tata is chairman of the group's retail arm Trent and also managing director of Tata International, a trading company.
Mr. Ratan Tata, who has been heading the group as Chairman of its promoter company Tata Sons since 1991 and had joined the group in 1962, said that it had been an exciting time for him.
Asked about who would succeed him, he said: "There is a committee that's been established; that committee is mandated with looking at internal candidates, external candidates, Indian expatriates; they have a short list of people who they're examining today and who they are meeting.
"I've stayed away from that committee because I think that committee should operate independently without the force of someone who is looking over their shoulder and I hope that by the first half of this year, we'll be able to define a suitable candidate with who one can overlap for a short period of time before I move away," he added.
Asked whether the finalisation of his successor could cause a family strife, Mr. Ratan Tata said: "No, I don't think it, it may. I have no way to know."
Talking about the legacy he wanted to leave behind, he said: "I think what I would like to do is to leave behind a sustainable entity of a set of companies that operate in an exemplary manner in terms of ethics, values and continue what our ancestors left behind.
"Not my legacy alone but a continuation of the legacy that extends over the last over a hundred years.
"I hope my successor will be as committed to that as I have tried to be," he added.

VT U.S. Representative Welch to Collect Student Debt Stories
By Tristan O'Neill
Vermont's U.S. Representative Peter Welch is going to be compiling stories about student debt.
Welch is going to be at the University of Vermont on Monday where he will launch an initiative to compile stories from Vermont students and families about the burden of student loan debt.
In Vermont, almost 70 percent of college graduates have an average of $30,000 in debt.
Student debt is topping $1 trillion dollars, exceeding credit card debt.
Congress is working to avoid a doubling of the Federal Direct Stafford Student Loan interest rates scheduled on July 1 to 6.8 percent.
Just after mid-day Monday, Welch is scheduled to meet with students at UVM's Davis Center.

Debt Value Adjustment (DVA) definition
A Debt Valuation Adjustment (DVA) is an accounting valuation technique related to how a company handles changes in fixed income securities it has issued. According to FASB 159 (adopted in 2007), firms can recognize market value declines in some debt instruments as earnings. In other words, if the debt decreases in price on the market, by using DVA this can be interpreted as a decrease in liabilities and can therefore be reported as profit.

Amazon.com Review
So much for a quiet dig among the mastabas. With their usual luck, the family promptly finds itself inundated by would-be assassins and nosy journalists. Amelia quickly deduces that Ramses's undercover work is at the root of both threat and curiosity; more puzzling is the appearance of the odd corpse or two and a rash of stunningly efficient tomb robberies. When Ramses and his wife, Nefret, travel to Luxor to check on the security of some of their old excavations, they find an all-too-familiar irritant behind the robberies. It would be telling to reveal his identity, but fans of the series will soon figure it out, with the aid of a little suspension of disbelief. With Ramses and Nefret on one hand, and Amelia and Emerson on the other, engaged in "protecting" the other side from conflict and trouble, the novel unfolds in a merry chase of misdirection and miscommunication.
There is a comforting consistency to Peters's series. By now, all of the characters' quirks are etched in stone like so many well-worn hieroglyphs. Amelia's narrative has the familiarity of a treasured and oft-read letter from a slightly batty aunt. Even the miraculous return of (no, I really can't say), though perhaps intended as a radical plot twist, adheres to the most genteel of mystery traditions, à la Doyle and Christie. Innovation can be overrated; with Peters's flawless record of producing amusing, easily digested novels showing no signs of faltering, fans should devour this morsel--and wait impatiently for the next tasty installment. --Kelly Flynn --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Decided to read this book to fulfill my pledge to myself to read some classic literature. It very quickly turned into one of the most entertaining of the books I have read. Aside from all the Victorian nonsense, the story is quite humerus at the expense of the Anglican Church hierarchy. But perhaps the best part of the recording was the reader, Simon Vance. His interpretation was so well done, that at times I thought I was watching a movie.

This would be solely for studio portrait lighting with remote flashes.

THis is a fairly complex and personal issue, and you've left off a very obvious choice in your list as wellShould you choose to go the Alien Bee route how do you plan to trigger the strobes? Once THAT decision is made, things become a bit clearer.Your list should probably be:1. Do I keep my Minolta IV2. Do I use iTTL3. Do I get a more modern meterMany people are very content to wing it or use the back of the camera screen to adjust exposure. Some will say the histogram tells you, but the histogram won't tell you ratios, or tell you where your shadows fall or tell you if the light on the hair is 1/2 a stop down from the light on the forehead. And relying on the camera's LCD for critical exposure settings always seemed dubious to me.But there are MANY successful photographers who don't use a meter. I grew up with them, and prefer them both in the studio and on location. I use Sekonic meters for photography and I bought into the PocketWizard triggering systems. I could not be more pleased. And I have not found anything else that I "wish" I had bought.-P>This would be solely for studio portrait lighting with remote>flashes.

You might want to ask this in the Lighting forum. There are many flash light meters and some will integrate with the PW control system.
GeorgeMy Nikonian Galleries
Thanks for the advice and clear expression of criterion.A newer meter would cost too much. And selling the one I have would only bring in $125. Buying Alien Bees or any other power pack type lights is a long way off. At present, I see the value in the meter for setting light ratios for off-camera SB lights. And for measuring highlight and shadow exposures of the multiple flashes. And I must admit to being an amateur with CLS. I would adjust things using a tape measure and the meter. And possibly by setting power on the SB strobes or in the Bracket/Flash Menu on the D7000. Thanks for your help. I'm happy.
I'm not a great fan of using TTL metering with multiple flash preferring to shoot in manual to have precise control over each flash and eliminating any variables. Have you considered shooting tethered? You get instant results on a big screen enabling you to make more informed judgements on exposure adjustment and shadow placement......
Should I hang onto my Minolta Autometer IV? Vintage is 1989.If your Autometer is still accurate, I suggest hanging on to it. I have an Autometer V which I use with a set of Hensel monolights and other manual flashes. I also use it for large format photography and in those increasingly rare circumstances where I want an incident reading.More modern gear makes it more convenient to trigger and measure flash, but the Minolta is still a solid, entry-level solution. If I was using studio lighting day-in and day-out, I'd probably update my meter and radio triggers, but as a hobbyist, I feel no pressing need to do so.One of the biggest mistakes a photographer can make is to look at the real world and cling to the vain hope that next time his film will somehow bear a closer resemblance to it. - Galen Rowell
As long as it works there is no reason to replace it. I still use the Gossen Luna Pro F that I bought used over 20 years ago.
"Step into my world and see as I see"My Nikonians Gallery
Keep it. It will be all you need for fully manual strobe work in the studio. Yes, modern fancier dual mode meters are easier in difficult situations but a few AB's and a slave speed light or two with a decent triggering system is, in my opinion, easier to use and get exactly the results you intend in a studio completely manual than CLS TTL. For remote shooting, CLS and a few SB900's work great but in the studio where you have time to set up a shot and modifiers, and have a known ambient level and color, it is all easier to do it manually.I do not have commercial strobes but my home designed and built heads (calculated to be 600w/s each) are a snap to work with because there are so few variables that, if desired, can be set and forgotten for a session or all sessions. If you are doing primarily, say, portraits, the shot to shot consistency will be very good with some elements just left in place between sessions, instead of having the camera and CLS recalculating every exposure. It is fun to get in the studio( in my case, a spare high ceiling bedroom) and play with light, and modifiers when there are fewer variables to worry about as in field shooting with multiple flash.I do not always have a patient model or subject so I got a hairdresser's wig styling head, $4 at a beauty supply house and a clamp to attach it to a chair back, added a long or short wig and have the perfectly content, ultimately patient model for light playing.StanSt Petersburg Russia
I used speedlights for the last few years and never needed a light meter, although most of my shots were outdoors using 2 lights, so it wasn't too hard to nail the flash exposure in a few shots by looking at the camera's LCD. This year I bought 2 Einstein lights and 2 AB800's which I trigger using Cybersyncs and the Cybersync commander. The Cyber commander can change the light power of each light and it has a built in light meter which is great for fine tuning each light without having to go back and forth changing the power output on the back of the lights. Having used these for a few months now, I've started to wonder what I would do without it!

The mental state of mind is also in the coaches. The Rice coachs were coaching every play every down, if you looked on the UTEP sideline all you see is a bunch of overpaid coaches with there hands on there hips. These coaches need to start earning there money. UTEP needs a young head coach that can kick ass and not make excuses and scratch his heads every week.

When you have a team that will never have the talent that a school like Texas or USC has, you HAVE to have great coaching. Spirited and smart play calling and most importantly, your team must be very technically sound. Our players are not very gifted AND our coaches are idiots. sounds like the perfect storm.

Day 3 in the search for Adji, missing 6 year old
As the search for a missing six-year-old boy moves into its third day, law enforcmement officials are doubling their search area to find him.
About 150 law enforcement officers are in the Farm Worker Village looking for Adji Desir, who has developmental disabilities and the mind of a 2-year-old and went missing Saturday.
Law enforcement officials are concentrating their search on the Northwest side of the Farm Worker Village, according to Collier County Sheriff Sgt. Robert Brown.
Search for Adji turns to possible kidnapping
In an afternoon press conference, Sheriff Kevin Rambosk gave an update to the search for 6-year-old Adji Desir.
During briefing, Rambosk reconfirmed that Adji's family had been cleared of suspicion, as was his biological father who remained Haiti.
And whether or not the family is here illegaly has not been put into the equation, said Rambosk, who added that it hadn't even crossed his mind.

Adji's mother: 'I feel my life is almost over'
"I feel like my life is almost over," said Adji's mother Marie Nadia, 36, in Creole during a press conference Thursday.
With help from Collier County Sheriff's Office translator Nymphgamey Oboute, Adji's mother and stepfather gave an update on their family's status and how they're all holding up.
50,000 fliers distributed for missing six year old
Over 50,000 fliers have been distributed in the hopes of finding a missing 6-year-old Florida boy.
The U.S. Postal Service and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children gave out the fliers Saturday with information about Adji Desir (AHD-gee De-ZEER).
Del's 24 hour store owneer offers reward for return of missing boy
Del Ackerman, the owner of Del's 24-Hour Store in East Naples, confirmed today that he is offering a $3,000 reward to anyone who returns 6-year-old Adji Desir to his family alive.
Adji disappeared on Saturday from outside his grandmother's Farmworker Village home in Immokalee.
Adji search continues, 'nothing has been ruled out'
They've searched on land, trolling through the woods and farm fields of Immokalee on all terrain vehicles, on foot and on horseback.
They've searched in the air, circling the night sky with helicopters. And they've searched on the water, combing canals and lakes with boats and divers.

Ground search for Adji called off
The ground search for Adji Desir was called off as of 8 p.m. Saturday night and the investigation will continue through tips, said Collier County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Jamie Mosbach.
"We are following up on all tips and leads," she said. "No matter how small or insignificant you think they are, we want to hear them."
The search for Adji Desir continues
It has been over 3 weeks since Adji Desir disappeared on Jan 10. Although the ground search for Adji was called off on Jan. 17, there has been a new push to find him and the reward for his safe return has been increased to $33,500.
Authorities are encouraging anyone with any type of information to call the tip line. Trish Routte of Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers said, "Please don't dismiss anything that you may think you know because we would rather go on a hunch than not be able to follow up on it at all."
Since Adji's disappearance, the Collier County Sheriff's Office has received 240 tips.
A month later, missing six year old not forgotten
But as time passes by, Collier County Housing Authority executive director Esmeralda Serrata said she fears people might forget about Adji Desir.
"That's been my concern," she said. "This child is still missing. There is still hope that he is out there."
The disappearance of 6-year-old Adji from his grandmother's Farm Worker Village home in Immokalee on Jan. 10 shook the small community.
National exposure of missing boy brings in several new leads
The Collier County Sheriff's Office received seven new leads into the disappearance of 6-year-old Adji Desir after his case was featured last Saturday on the "America's Most Wanted" television program.
"You never ever know when you go on any show whether you're going to get a lot or a little," agency spokeswoman Karie Partington said. "Its a matter of getting the right one."
Editorial: Missing children... as search for Adji goes on, can we do better?
Nearly two months after his disappearance and supposed abduction, two questions nag:
Where is Adji Desir?
Did his case get less notoriety than others?
With the continued pursuit and hard work of law-enforcement agencies and TV programs such as "America's Most Wanted," we hope to have the answer to question No. 1.
Dissecting the past for the answers to question No. 2 may be less constructive than resolving to move on and tighten local and national alert systems already in place.
We would like to see them built up rather than torn down. They have accomplished a great deal and can accomplish even more.
Deputies search new area for Adji Desir
Collier County deputies did another search for Adji Desir on Saturday. They were in Immokalee looking in area they had not searched before. No details on new developments have been released.
Three months later, the question remains: What happened to Adji?
Adji Desir's mother Marie Neida and his stepfather Antal Elant talk to the media about the search for their missing 6-year-old son. Watch »
IMMOKALEE For Marie Neida, the horror of her son going missing continues to dominate every facet of her life.
I pray to God for my son to come back home, Neida said Friday.

Nationally known psychic to search for missing six year old Adji
A nationally known psychic is heading to Southwest Florida to do her part in the search for Adji Desir.
Psychic Gale St. John was slated to arrive in Immokalee Wednesday night and will start searching today for 6-year-old Adji, who has been missing from Farm Workers Village since Jan. 10.
In an interview, St. John said she would be arriving at Orlando International Airport Wednesday afternoon and then shed drive to Immokalee.
Detractors don't detour psychic's search for Adji
You wont see Gale St. John walking around with a crystal ball or standing about with her arms outstretched asking for divine intervention thats not her style.
We were out here around 6:30 a.m., St. John, 50, said Thursday. We dont want to draw too much attention. Its hard to work, when you have that going on.
However, St. John, a nationally-known psychic, has started making the rounds in Immokalee to help in the search of 6-year-old Adji Desir, who has been missing from Farm Workers Village since Jan. 10.
Psychic believes missing Adji may still be in Immokalee area
A nationally known psychic continued her search Saturday for a missing Immokalee boy, suggesting at one point that he still may be in the Immokalee area.
Gale St. John continued to search for 6-year-old Adji Desir, who has been missing from his home in Farm Workers Village since Jan. 10.
Its not only about being psychic always, its about properly searching the area, St. John said Saturday.
Another psychic weighing in on Adji's whereabouts
I have been watching and looking into this case as I have had a little clairvoyant information about this case.
Parents of Adji, Baby Bryan holding out hope their children will be found
Time is the enemy for the parents of a missing child.
The first 72 hours are the most crucial.
After that, statistics show the chance of the child ever being found continuously falls.
It has been six months since six-year-old Immokalee resident Adji Desir disappeared from outside his grandmothers house at Farm Workers Village.
The search for Adji entering a new venue
Facebook may be the new milk carton.
The Collier County Sheriffs Office has taken a new approach in the search for Adji Desir, the missing Immokalee 6-year-old, possibly initiating a new trend other area law enforcement agencies will pursue in the future.
On July 10, the six-month anniversary of Adjis disappearance, Sheriffs Office officials posted a video about the case to the agencys many Internet presences and asked members of the public to share it on the Web, including their profiles on the social networking sites Facebook and MySpace.
Adji's still missing, and parents at Golden Gate event want their kids safe
Better safe than sorry.
Thats exactly why dozens of parents attended the Collier County Sheriffs Office and The National Center for Missing and Exploited Childrens free services event to help families be prepared in case a child goes missing.
I just think its good to be proactive in these times, Michele Anand, 38, said at the event Saturday at the Golden Gate Library.

Adji Desir Case: Media opportunity Thursday
SUMMARY: Thursday will be Adji Desir's seventh birthday.
Adji was last seen playing outside of his grandmother's house in Farm Worker Village in Immokalee on Jan. 10, 2009, while his mother was at work. There has been no sign of him since.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office is once again reaching out to the public for tips that could help in bringing the developmentally disabled boy home.
"We're still hopeful to reunite him with his parents," said Sgt. Ken Becker of CCSO's Major Crimes Bureau. "But as time goes on it will depend on assistance from the public and that one person who has that little bit of information that will lead us to him."
Search for Adji: Birthday sparks national flier plan to find 7 year old
Tips have nearly dried up.
But in the ongoing search for Adji Desir, Collier County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Ken Becker said hope remains for bringing home the missing Immokalee boy.
The breakthroughs in the Jaycee Dugard, Shawn Hornbeck and Elizabeth Smart cases in the last few years are proof.
"It's just further evidence that there's still hope out there that even long-term missing children can be reunited with their family," said Becker at a press conference Thursday, which coincided with Adji's seventh birthday. "And that's our hope with this case."
Adji Desir search goes nationwide
Thursday is the seventh birthday of Adji Desir, the young boy who has been missing since January.
Adji was playing outside his grandmother's house in Farmworker's Village in Immokalee when he disappeared.
Law enforcement and volunteers searched the area for several days but never found any sign of Adji.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office is again reaching out to the public for help locating the boy.
Candlelight vigil held for Adji Desir
A candlelight vigil was held Saturday night for Adji Desir who has been missing since January 10th 2009.
The vigil was held by a group of women from 'Families United To Bring Our Children Home'.
The Florida group is known for traveling the state to hold vigils for missing children, and each woman in the group has their own missing child.
They arrived in Collier County just days after Adji Desir's seventh birthday.

Adji Desir, the Immokalee 7-year-old who disappeared in January, will be one of six missing children appearing on the upcoming cover of People magazine.
The cover reads "Vanished Without a Trace: Heartbreak & Hope," and features the stories of young people who disappeared this year. The story was prompted by the August rescue of Jaycee Dugard, who was abducted in 1991 when she was 11 years old and held captive for 18 years in the California home of her alleged kidnappers, Phillip and Nancy Garrido.
Missing 10 months: Adji on cover of People Magazine
The picture of a missing Immokalee boy will be on news stands across the county. Six-year-old Adji Desir is being featured in People Magazine's "Vanished Edition" on Friday.
NBC2 sat down with the boy's mother Wednesday night to talk about how her life as changed since her son disappeared.

Whatever happened to? Investigation into missing Adji Desir
Christmas for the family of Adji Desir will be bittersweet this year.
The family members will mourn their first holiday season without Adji and celebrate his seven-month-old sister Adjiani's first.
"I miss my son," said Marie Neida, 36. "My heart is very sad. I need to see him again."

One year later, family and community still has hope of finding Adji
The picture of the smiling boy hangs prominently in Marie Neida and Antal Elant's Immokalee home.
It's one of the many daily reminders of what they've lost and pray to someday regain.
"I feel that they will find him one day," said Elant, 42. "Everyday I go out and I think I will get the call that they've found Adji... we must have patience."
On Sunday, it will have been a year since the now 7-year-old Adji Desir was last seen playing outside his grandmother's house in Farm Workers Village in Immokalee on Jan. 10, 2009, while his mother was at work.
Damas mass slaying, Adji, campaign dispute mark first year
Of all the years to become sheriff, Kevin Rambosk had to pick 2009.
With a high-profile missing child case, the "most horrific and violent" mass homicide in county history, an ongoing investigation into allegations of illegal campaign work by his staff, and the most devastating economic downturn in decades, Rambosk called his first year as Collier sheriff the most challenging of his career.
But looking back, Rambosk also calls his first year at the helm one of the most effective he's ever seen.
One year later - Adji Desir still missing
In the 12 months that have passed since Adji vanished from Immokalee's Farmworker's Village, hundreds of tips have come in and the case has gotten national attention. But investigators remain baffled about the little boy's disappearance.
His picture still hangs on the wall of his home and Adji's mother, Maria Neida, says there is not a day that goes by in which she doesn't think he'll come home.
"I miss him so much," said Neida. "I still cry, cry, cry every day - every day."
"It's very hard because every day she still think about it," said his stepfather Antale Elant.

New 'cold case' cards feature 13 new cases
Lee County inmates play cards with a special deck that could help solve crimes.
"All we need is that one missing link," said Velez.
With each deal, each pass and each play- those accused of wrong-doing could hold crucial clues.
"People talk, especially inmates. They're there all day, they're with each other and they're going to talk about these things," said Trish Routte of Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers.
What better atmosphere to do so than over a game of spades or hearts.
Group trains to help with searches involving missing kids
More than 41,000 incidents of missing children were reported to law enforcement in Florida in 2009. Those on the front lines working to find an abducted child train year round and we followed as the Fort Myers Child Abduction Response Team held a mock search.
CART has assisted in high-profile cases in Southwest Florida - including the disappearance of Baby Bryan and Adji Desir. Both children vanished and right now they, along with 300 other children from Florida, are considered missing.
Media needs to be color blind
Judging solely from the media, most victims of crime or missing people are young, pretty white girls, but that's not true at all.
Earlier this week, an article on BBC.com detailed the death of a young woman after a car accident.
The headline read: "Fife crash victim was a beautiful girl' " and was accompanied by the photo of a blond-haired, blue-eyed woman.
This article was exact evidence for what people have begun to call "missing white woman syndrome."
The phrase describes the disproportionate attention paid to white women when they're a victim in some way, whereas other races and ethnicities are ignored.
New fliers created to bring new leads in case of missing 8 year old
Two years after the disappearance of Adji Desir, officials remain optimistic for the safe return the 8-year-old boy.
On Tuesday morning, Collier County Sheriff's detectives, along with agents from the FBI and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement went door-to-door in Farm Workers Village and the Immokalee community, handing out several hundred updated fliers about Adji's 2009 disappearance.
The fliers feature an image of Desir's, with text in English, Creole and Spanish urging anyone who may have information about his disappearance to become a part of the Triangle of Trust, a partnership between law enforcement, the community and Desir's family.

Two years and no sign of Adji, deputies hope for new tip
It's a plea Marie Neida has been making for two years.
"Please, I ask everyone … Please give me your help! Help me find Adji," Neida said in soft voice. "I hope the police can find Adji. Please help me find my son."
Two years after Adji Desir went missing from his grandmother's Farm Workers Village home, investigators are no closer to finding out what happened to the autistic child.

"We drive across the country and look for missing children," said Robert Fox of The Fireball Run.
Fox and members of the group pass out fliers for missing children as they travel from state to state.
"If we can do one good thing - find one child across the state- we've done our job," said Fox.

In a desperate, last-ditch effort to prevent disaster, Tom creates his own makeshift counterterrorist team, assembling his most loyal officers, two elderly war veterans, a couple of misfit teenagers, and Dr. Kelly Ashton - the sweet girl next door who has grown into a remarkable woman.
The town's infamous bad boy, Tom has always longed for Kelly. Now he has one final chance for happiness, one last chance to win her heart, and one desperate chance to save the day.
©2000 Suzanne Brockmann; (P)2008 BBC Audio
"Four plot lines are expertly interwoven to create a love story-cum-thriller in the latest work by veteran romance author Brockmann." (Publishers Weekly)
"Reader William Dufris's primary assets are his contemporary emotional range and the almost palpable color he brings to descriptive phrases. His flexible voice coaxes the listener to use more senses than just listening, a skill especially suitable for the romance genre." (AudioFile)
"Poor reader of a romance in disguise"
I bought this thinking it was a military thriller. It is not a military thriller; it is a barely disguised and fairly poorly written romance novel. The reader is poor and his portrayal of female voices lies somewhere between laughable and insulting. My experience with the romance genre is very, very limited, but I cannot imagine that a billion dollar industry has been built on a standard as low as this. The romance scenes are devoid of a fundamental understanding of sexual attraction. I got this book in the $10 sale, so I can't say that I really lost money on the experience, but I would strongly urge people to reconsider purchasing this title.
"Started OK then she lost it"
The author started OK then by the second half I think she lost the thread of the story and fell back on some trite "sex to sell it" stuff. I don't think you can start as an action type novel then turn it into a "steamy sex novel". I put that in quotes because it really was quite trite. I ended up not finishing it and feeling it was wasting my time.
The name is for my wife, the photo is for the old man.
"3/4 Bodice Ripper, disappointing suspense thriller"
Somehow I bought this without checking the reviews. I can't stand it. A 3 generation bodice ripper, with very little suspense thriller. I'm not thrilled.
"Bad Romance Novel"
This book is horrible. While the writer can only improve, I guess some credit should be given that she wrote the book in her early teens, it remains for other works. WWII resistance romances, high school almosts, then he in the Seals, she a doctor, get together their hidden love rekindled, all the while he is on a dangerous mission that his superiors do not believe in. (Yes, terrorists.) I have no fault with the ending, as I quit half-way through. My shame is that I lasted that long. I swear there was a weak in the knees kiss, chisled good looks, and more................
"Not an adventure story, just a romance novel"
Nothing in the synopsis prepared me for the "romance" part of this book. I thought it was about a military hero in danger on leave from reading the description. There is a thin plot here, but you need a machete to hack through the repetitive sexual fantasies to get at it. And they're not even good fantasy. Just basically the same ogling of bodies and wishing for sex and remembering "that night". Then a few pages of actual story, then back to his fantasy, then, but no, her respects her too much, then an extra sentence about "that night", then switch to her fantasy, and a reference to "that night" then another tiny bit of story, then.....etc, etc, etc. I'm only about 4 hrs into a 15 hour book, and already saying to the author "Get on with it, already!" I don't know if I'll finish the book or not. I need much more story and less PG rated glop.
"Expected a thriller- but got a romance/thriller-"
Headline sums it up. The disappointment stems from my poor choice, or poor labeling of this fiction. However, it intrigued me enough to see it through to the end. The thriller part is less obviously less researched and expert than top sellers in that genre. The story and back-stories are entertaining, I just wished Brockmann was more researched in special ops or collaborated on this. I actually enjoyed the romances. I see she's written a series of these romance thrillers based on the same characters, I hope book 2 is stronger, because I like the core characters. In terms of prose, Brockmann is 5 on a ten point scale.
I do my gardening listening to Audible books and, at times, end up sitting on my gardening cart sobbing away, while hoping no one's looking
"Didn't realize Brockman was a romance writer"
Take out all the boring 'longing' passages. Things were repeated too many times.
Great plot!
I always knew who was talking and/or thinking.
"The worst - no thriller here -"
Should have read the other reviews - this could have been witten by a high school remedial literature student.
Over acting
We used to call these crotch novels
Cranky Liberal
"A "bodice ripper," not a thriller"
Omitting the hard-core porn and the incessant discussion of past love, current love and, perhaps future love. It became really, really tiring.
See above.
He was fine.
Not really.
This was a major disappointment. I was expecting a thriller.
"Mislabled as thriller"
Brockman writes bodice ripper/crotch novels which is fine but not how this book was presented. The reader was good at voice characterization.
Not if they are accurately categorized.
The various voices he used helped define the characters.
Most of the juvenile presentation of sex scenes was drawn out way too long.
The author must be sexually frustrated.

High winds forced the suspension of play Sunday in the final round of the Australian Open. Gusts of up to 50 mph at The Lakes caused television towers to sway, scoreboards to topple over, balls to move on the fairways and greens, and blew out sand from the bunkers. Play was suspended with the final groups, including third-round leader John Senden, still waiting to tee off. Officials hoped to resume play by early afternoon when the wind was expected to abate, and still hoped to complete the tournament Sunday.

It was very very humble but the Glory of God was still present.
