A dramatic scene unfolded on Canal Street yesterday morning, as a man swinging a meat cleaver went after his wife in a brief but terrifying attack. Fortunately firefighters from Engine 9, Ladder 6, located right across the street from 74 Canal, where the incident happened, rushed in to help.
They quickly tackled the man but the woman, 24-year old Jinyia You, fled. She was later found and taken to Bellevue Hospital with cuts on her face and back. According to the Post, firefighters Jose Ortiz and Jesse Trainor heard the couple yelling at each other just before 10:30 a.m. "While we were working on the rigs getting ready for our day tour, I saw a man dragging a woman who was crying and screaming down the street," Ortiz said. "Once I got closer, the man starts hacking at the woman. He hits her six, eight, maybe 10 times. So, we [he and Trainor] bum-rush him and get him against the fence."
A TLD tipster drew our attention last night to the intersection of East Broadway and Rutgers street. He told us a commuter tour bus had been "pulled over and taken out of commission." As passengers unloaded, he said, the bus remained idling (for 10 minutes or so) and it blocked the pedestrian crosswalk.
We arrived on the scene shortly after 10 p.m. Inspectors from the State Department of Transportation were there, telling passengers that the bus would not be going anywhere for at least eight hours. There was a sticker on the windshield that read, "this vehicle may not be operated by anyone who is not in compliance with all hours of service criteria."
New York City police and federal transportation agents spent most of the day on Canal Street, pulling over interstate bus drivers for spot inspections. They stopped dozens of buses at various locations throughout the city last week, in the aftermath of the deadly bus accident in the Bronx.
The photo above was taken by Lo-Down contributor Bridget Bosworth, shortly before 3pm. This morning, we noticed more buses pulled to the side of the street, on both Canal and Division. Employees of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation were both on the scene.
In his 20 years as a small businessman in Little Italy, Joe Maino has learned a few things. The owner of several accessory shops along Mulberry Street, he knows most of his customers are visitors from someplace other than New York City. He also knows his stores are almost totally dependent on foot traffic.
Photographer Stephen Spera sent us these lovely photos after a bike ride through the L.E.S. Here's what he had to say:
I took a long bike ride through the LOWER EAST SIDE today. Incredible and embarrassing, as I live FOUR blocks from it….or IN it, according to your point of view. The geography shifts daily, as do many things in New York. I particularly went in search of the old Hasidic LES, where decades of gorgeous decay turned signage into art. SO much was gone, I couldn't believe it.
Members of the Chinatown Working Group will present revised zoning proposals to Community Board 3's land use committee tonight. The coalition – representing 50 neighborhood organizations – intends to submit a comprehensive community development plan to the city in the next several months. This summer they've been seeking input from all three downtown community boards (1, 2 and 3).
There's always an interesting dynamic when the Chinatown Working Group (CWG) appears before CB3. The organization was an outgrowth of the community board's controversial rezoning of the neighborhood in 2008, which excluded Chinatown and the Two Bridges area.
A neighborhood group on Canal Street is mobilizing to oppose a new restaurant's quest for a liquor license, saying they don't want to see their block become a "bar scene." The owners of the restaurant at 1 Essex (Essex & Canal) and their detractors will go before the liquor licensing committee of Community Board 3 tomorrow night.
The committee, noting no opposition from the community, signaled its support last month for a license to sell wine only. The application for "1 Essex" was mistakenly removed from the published agenda and then added back on shortly before the meeting began. Amy Carlson, speaking for the neighborhood group, appealed to the full board of CB3, arguing that they would have showed up to voice their opposition if they'd known the application was being considered. CB3 District Manager Susan Stetzer says the restaurant withdrew its application and will re-apply for a full liquor license tomorrow night.
The backers of the restaurant own the Inn at Irving Place, which includes the cocktail lounge Cibar. They did not return our phone calls. But in their original application, they said the new venture will be a family friendly restaurant emphasizing organic food ("Jewish fusion," they called it), not a nightlife destination catering to hipsters in search of the latest hot spot.

Pavel Petrovich Svinin
Pavel Petrovich Svinin was born in Russia on June 8, 1787 (O.S.). He attended the School for the Nobility and the Academy of Fine Arts in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
After entering the foreign service at the age of 18, he was given the opportunity to travel around the world. In 1811, his travels brought him to the United States as the Secretary to the Russian Consul-General, based in Philadelphia.
Svinin traveled along the East Coast from Maine to Virginia (possibly further). Along the way, he sketched the American landscape, wrote articles and painted watercolors. He was fond of the similarities between the United States and his home country including tolerance for different religions. American steamboats and the public education system were also favorite subjects for the Russian diplomat. Additionally, he admired the American form of government, but did not understand the system of political parties.
He left the United States in June of 1813. Following his travels, he published his memoirs and watercolors, in addition to other illustrations from his American visit. His watercolors included images of the Natural Bridge and Niagara Falls. A large collection of Svinin's work can be seen at the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York City.
Svinin died in 1839 in Russia.

Mostazafan Foundation
The Mostazafan Foundation of Islamic Revolution (Persian: بنیاد مستضعفان انقلاب اسلامی) formerly Bonyad-e Mostazafan va Janbazan (Foundation of the Oppressed and Disabled or "MFJ") is a charitable bonyad, or foundation, in the Islamic Republic of Iran, the second-largest commercial enterprise in Iran behind the state-owned National Iranian Oil Company[1] and biggest holding company in the Middle East.[2] According to one of the foundation's former directors, Mohsen Rafighdoost, Mostazafan allocates 50 percent of its profits to providing aid to the needy in the form of low-interest loans or monthly pensions, while it invests the remaining 50 percent in its various subsidiaries. With over 200,000 employees, it owns and operates approximately 350 subsidiary and affiliate companies in numerous industries including agriculture, industry, transportation, and tourism.[3][4] Bonyad-e Mostazafan va Janbazan represented approximately 10 percent of the Iranian government's annual budget in 2003.[clarification needed][3][4] the MJF has an estimated value of more than $3 billion.[3]
It was founded in 1979 as a successor to the Pahlavi Foundation. As an economic, cultural, and social welfare institution, the Foundation controls manufacturing and industrial companies, whose profits are used — according to the foundation — to promote "the living standards of the disabled and poor individuals " of Iran and to "develop general public awareness with regards to history, books, museums, and cinema."[5] The Mostazafan is associated with the Revolutionary Guard where some of its head officials have come from.[6]
Pahlavi Foundation[edit]
Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi established the Pahlavi Foundation as a tax-exempt charity in 1958. This foundation held the assets of Muhammad Reza Shah, his predecessor, and many of his family, who later served on the corporate board and received commissions. The Pahlavi Foundation's wealth was estimated at $3 billion at its height. The Pahlavi Foundation was dogged by accusations of corruption.[7][8]
Mostazafan Foundation[edit]
Following the Islamic Revolution, the Pahlavi Foundation was renamed the Bonyad-e Mostazafan (Foundation of the Oppressed), and its economic assets increased by more than double after the property of fifty millionaires was confiscated and added to the endowment.[7]
A decade after the Revolution, the Foundation's assets totaled more than $20 billion, and included "some 140 factories, 470 agrobusinesses, 100 construction firms, 64 mines, and 250 commercial companies."[7] By 1994, the Foundation conducted six trillion rials' worth of business transactions, compared with 5.5 trillion rials collected by the government in taxes.[9] By 1996 the foundation began taking government funds to cover welfare disbursements.[1]
Because of the Iran-Iraq War, the foundation was given the responsibility to supervise and aid veterans wounded in the war and the name Janbazan (disabled) added to it.[2] Sometime before December 2005 the foundation changed its name back to Bonyad Mostazafan as the "Martyrs and War Veterans Foundation" took over war veterans affairs.[10]
Important Revolutionary Guards who have headed the foundation include Mohsen Rafighdoost, who served as Minister of the Revolutionary Guards from 1982 to 1989 before heading the foundation until 1999; and Mohammad Forouzandeh, the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Guard in the late 1980s and later Defense Minister, who is head of the foundation as of 2006.[6]
Economic activity[edit]
The Foundation is involved in numerous sectors of the economy, including shipping, metal, petrochemicals, construction materials, dams, towers, farming, horticulture, tourism, transportation, hotels, and commercial services.[6] It controls 40% of Iran's production of soft drinks, including Zamzam Cola which it owns and produces; the newspapers Ettelaat and Kayhan.[7] It "controls 20% of the country's production of textiles, ... two-thirds of all glass products and a dominant share also in tiles, chemicals, tires, foodstuffs."[11] Its total value was estimated by one source at "as much as $12 billion,"[6] by another as "in all probability exceed[ing] $10 billion."[1]
Mostazafan's largest subsidiary is the Agricultural and Food Industries Organization (AFIO), which owns more than 115 additional companies. Some of the foundation's contract work also includes large engineering projects, such as the construction of Terminal One of the Imam Khomeini International Airport.[4]
Mostazafan also has a history of soliciting contract work abroad. It currently maintains economic connections with countries in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and South Asia, as well as in Russia and other former states of the Soviet Union.[4]
As employers of approximately five million Iranians and providers of social welfare services to "perhaps several million more", bonyads such as Mostazafan "have a large constituency and are able to build support for the regime among the working and lower classes."[6] Nonetheless the Foundation has been subject to a number of controversies common to other bonyads in the years since its inception. The Foundation and other bonyads are "exempt from official oversight as key religious leaders and former or current government officials control them. They enjoy virtual tax exemption and customs privileges, preferential access to credit and foreign exchange, and regulatory protection from private sector competition."[1][6]
The Foundation's former head Mohsen Rafiqdoost came under suspicion in 1995 when his brother was convicted of a major bank fraud. After this, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei appointed a board of trustees and made the Foundation subject to parliamentary scrutiny. It has been criticised for allegedly failing to meet the needs of many disabled veterans of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, whose interests it was originally created to serve.[12]
The "most controversial allegation" against the Mostazafan foundation is "whether or not their funds have been used to procure weapons of mass destruction". This particular allegation "has long surrounded" the Mostazafan foundation because it has been run by "hardliners and former officials of the Revolutionary Guard" (such as former Minister of the Revolutionary Guard Mohsen Rafighdoost, who ran the foundation from 1989 to 1999.) [6]
In 2003 there was talk of the foundation "spinning off its social responsibilities" and becoming "a purely commercial conglomerate," leaving open the question of who would own it and why it should exist as a foundation.[1]

I moderated on ./ so I can't comment there. It's better than several answers I've seen in interviews and it's actually correct. You can cut your fizzCheck and buzzCheck functions down to a single line each though and they'd be just as clear as they are now.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int i, offset;
char buff[16];
for (i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
offset = 0;
if (i%3 == 0) offset += sprintf(buff, "Fizz");
if (i%5 == 0) offset += sprintf(buff+offset, "Buzz");
if (offset) printf("%d: %s\n", i, buff);
return 0;
dansouza - This is the spec: "Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print "Fizz" instead of the number and for the multiples of five print "Buzz". For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print "FizzBuzz"."
Specifically you are supposed to print the words instead of the number. Your's would print the number on every line.
(Headed over from /. since you asked if I'd hire you)
I actually give this exact task to interview candidates, so here are some things I'd pick up on if you submitted it to me.
Clearly, most of this is irrelevant if you're just writing FizzBuzz for fun, but if this is an interview test - and given that the task itself is trivial - the interviewer is looking for good style and practices.
namespace FizzBuzz
It's a trivial thing, but easy to get right - and that kind of attention to detail is a differentiator between you and the next candidate.
Remove the unnecessary "using" boilerplate
you're not using
System.Text or
System.Linq - again, this is attention to detail; it shows me that you're thinking about what your doing, rather than just blindly accepting what the IDE wrote for you.
lost the
It doesn't add anything, leaves the user sitting there staring at a screen wondering what the computer's up to, and means I can't use this in a pipeline.
(If you really, really MUST have it, then at least print something to tell the user to press enter)
your fizzCheck (and buzzCheck) functions can be reduced to a single line:
private static bool fizzCheck( int i )
return ( i % 3 ) == 0;
Aside from the fact that GH ate my indentation sigh, this is far easier to read.
(but leave them a separate functions (that way, the name describes intent in the main loop)
true - use them directly ( the
== true makes the code harder to read)
if( fizz && buzz )...
(don't compare them with
false either - use the
! operator)
string convert( int i )
bool fizz = fizzCheck(i);
bool buzz = buzzCheck(i);
if( fizz && buzz )
return "FizzBuzz";
if( fizz )
return "Fizz";
if( buzz )
return "Buzz";
return i.ToString();
Then, using your test framework of choice, you can write assertions like:
Assert.Equal( "1", convert(1) );
Assert.Equal( "Fizz", convert(3) );
Assert.Equal( "Buzz", convert(5) );
(In fact, you should be writing unit tests BEFORE you cut the code....)
I probably wouldn't hire you today - but take comfort in the knowledge that I've seen FAR worse solutions :)
Thanks for the feedback. I definitely take comfort in that. I'm only halfway through my book, "Visual C# Step by Step," leaning it as my first programming language. I wouldn't even think of actually trying to get hired to write code at this point, but hopefully that day will come at some point. :)
BTW, I didn't even realize I could return bools like you did in your example. Thanks!

GGG is just a machine, that is the only way to describe him. I think Macklin describe it best when he said that GGG's punches are heavy clubbing blows. Macklin isn't a bum, he has fought high quality opponents and held his own, but he was simply destroyed by GGG. It was like watching a monster truck run over a Prius. For a casual observer, that punch might not look like much, but if you ever had the wind knocked out of you, try to imagine what you felt like. You can't catch your breath, you feel like you are suffocating and it is very difficult for you to get to your feet. That is exactly what happens when you get hit with the perfect body punch. Not to mention that GGG hits like he is swinging Thor's hammer, so it isn't surprising that Macklin couldn't make the 10 count. Lot of options for GGG, but whoever gets in the ring next, needs to have a real plan on how to stop the machine. H/T Deadspin for video.

text: Because that's the only way it makes sense to sign him to a long term deal at 7. I'm not sure what's making these GM's open the vault for RFA's because if there's no worries of an offer sheet, it makes little sense to sign them to offer sheet type money. Paying RFA's as if they are UFA's is a trend that's causing salaries to skyrocket and I don't like it a bit. Let the guy sign an offer sheet and then match it if need be. This business of matching an offer that never comes in makes little sense in the long run. Sakic is a good example of a guy who signed an offer sheet, only to see it matched by the Avs and it caused no ill will between Sakic and his team. If GM's are unwilling to use the leverage that RFA status provides then it makes little sense for them to have it. People can rip Garth Snow for lots of the moves he's made but he should be applauded for re-signing Tavares for another 6 years at a very reasonable cap-hit of 5.5 million. Here's hoping PC can eventually get Seguin signed to a deal somewhere in that neighbourhood.

Has good accuracy on most of his punt snaps, able to put them within the strike zone to prevent the punter from working too hard.
Won't always put his punt snaps right on the money. Doesn't wow you with the velocity and zip on his snaps. Can be slightly high or low, forcing the punter to extend to field the snap. His accuracy dips when they are backed up within their own territory. Doesn't really do much in coverage.
Wojta is a consistent snapper that is fairly pro ready. He should be able to come in right away and compete for a job, and possibly win it. He's not the most polished snapper, and like all young snappers will need to work on improving his consistency, zip, and accuracy. But he's fairly solid. You also like the fact that Wisconsin has been a steady pipeline of capable snapps to the NFL, including ex-Falcon Mike Schneck. Their alumni also include Dan Turk, Mike Solwold, and Matt Katula. Tore his ACL midway through his junior season, and was relegated to only snapping on extra points. His last name is pronounced: "WHITE-uh."
(12/3) vs. Michigan St: no stats
(1/2) vs. Oregon: no stats
2011: 14 GP, 3 tackles
2010: 13, 1 tackle
2009: 13, 2 takles
2007: redshirt, walk-on
- tore ACL in October 2010
Wojta probably wouldn't unseat a veteran in a fair competition. But given how teams that bring in players like him don't often provide fair competitions, he stands a decent chance of making a roster right out of the gates. He is good enough to snap right away in the NFL and be decent, and you could see him growing and developing into a really good snapper in time. He's very likely to make an NFL roster at some point, and if not as a rookie, it should not be long after that. And if he doesn't then it will be due to the right opportunity not presenting itself rather than not having the ability.
Wojta would likely be the front runner to win the Falcons job if he was in their camp, assuming Joe Zelenka is not brought back. While he is not quite on the level of Zelenka is now particularly with his velocity and accuracy, but he certainly could be on that level within a few seasons. So the Falcons rolling the dice with him now and going through any potential growing pains early on can reap solid benefits down the road.
It's rare that long snappers are worthy of draft picks, and Wojta isn't quite the exception. You'd rather have a guy that was a bit more polished to be worth drafting. But he should be a priority free agent for some team looking for a young developmental guy that can boost competition in camp.
1-pathetic, 2-poor, 3-weak, 4-below average, 5-average, 6-above average, 7-good, 8-very good, 9-excellent, 10-elite
Velocity: 7.0
Accuracy: 8.0
Coverage: 4.5

Dell Venue 8 Pro review: A Windows 8.1 tablet for the rest of us
Dell's new 8-in. tablet offers a fine display and good features at a price that most Windows users can afford.
With the new Dell Venue 8 Pro, we're finally seeing a full-blown Windows 8.1 tablet for the masses. And when I mean the masses, I don't mean people willing to pay $900 and up for a tablet, or $1,000 and up for a combo tablet-ultrabook device. I mean people who can afford $300 for a well-made 8-in. device with a very good screen, a surprisingly powerful processor, and Office as part of the package.
The Venue 8 Pro is thin, light and feels right in your hand. And even though the screen is smaller than the 10.6-in. display that comes with Microsoft's Surface Pro 2, you don't feel like you're missing much when you run Windows 8 apps (that is, apps previously called Metro apps and now sometimes called Modern apps or Windows Store apps).
Hardware and software
The Venue 8 Pro has some drawbacks (which I'll go into in a minute), but they're far outweighed by what Dell did right. To begin with, even though the tablet sells for only $300, Dell didn't skimp on either the design or components. It is a simple black slab with a circular grooved pattern on its back that provides enough grip to make it easy to hold, with a solid feel despite weighing only 0.87 lb.
And it's surprisingly fast. The Venue 8 Pro boots quickly and apps load quickly, and you can easily switch among them with no delays. That's due to the Intel 1.8GHz Atom Z3740 quad-core processor, more commonly known as Bay Trail. It comes with what has become the standard 2GB of RAM, but in my testing, I never felt the need for more, whether watching videos on Netflix, playing games, drawing or anything else.
The screen is a beauty, even if the specs don't sound particularly overwhelming. The display has a garden-variety 1280-x-800-pixel resolution that on paper doesn't match up to competitors such as the iPad Mini's Retina screen. But in actual use, I found the screen bright, vivid and responsive. I missed nothing watching Netflix or videos in other apps, and it shone even in paint programs.
However, I strongly suggest changing an important setting to make sure the screen always stays bright. By default, in order to improve battery life, the Venue 8 Pro's screen dims or brightens according to the light you're viewing it in. In practice, I found that the screen was frequently too dim. So I turned off that feature (by selecting Settings --> Change PC settings --> PC and devices --> Power and sleep, and in the Brightness section at the top of the screen, moving the "Adjust my screen brightness automatically" to off). That may have cost me some battery life, but it was well worth it.
The Venue 8 Pro comes with 32GB of storage (you can configure it with 64GB for an extra $50), but it also has a microSD slot, which makes it easy to add more storage via an SD card. Beyond that, the ports are limited. Unsurprisingly, there's a micro-USB port rather than a full-sized one, so if you want to connect USB devices, you'll have to use an adapter. And since you use the micro-USB port to charge the tablet, you can't charge it and use an external device at the same time, unless you want to buy a special adapter. In addition, there are no ports for connecting to an external display.
The device also comes with the usual power button, which is located on the right side of the tablet between the micro-USB port and volume rocker (assuming you're holding it in portrait mode). The headphone jack is at the top of the device. The non-removable battery is rated by Dell at 9.9 hours of life per charge.
The built-in mono speaker (for stereo, you'll have to plug in headphones or speakers) can play surprisingly loud -- and without distortion. Some tablets have a hard time generating high volumes, which can be problematic when watching TV, movies or video. That's far from the case here.
The tablet offers a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera and a 5-megapixel rear-facing one. They both seemed par for the course, which means they were usable but didn't take overwhelmingly great photos.
In addition to Windows 8.1, you get a free version of Office Home & Student 2013, which is a nice extra.

New Digital Resource in the Law Library: Loislaw Treatise Library
The Loislaw Treatise Library via LoislawConnect is a new Law Library digital resource offering quick and easy access to a variety of practice treatises in over two dozen legal topics. Topics include:
Class of 2015 Takes Home the Jeopardy Trophy Again
Last week's Student/Faculty Jeopardy faceoff saw a few firsts. The first first was the inaugural appearance of a team representing RWU alumni. The second first was having all the teams in contention, and well into positive territory, going into a thrilling Final Jeopardy. And, the most important first: the first time a team has won back-to-back trophies.
Lawyers and the Practice of Sports Law
Our Office of Career Development sponsored a recent program on what it takes to land a career in Sports Law, and the paths three distinguished lawyers took to get there. The speakers were: Donald Gralnek, Former General Counsel of Sharks Sports and Entertainment, San Jose Sharks (National Hockey League), Katherine Sulentic (RWU Law '09), Assistant Director of Enforcement, National Collegiate Athletic Association,

With the Red Sox squaring off against the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series, take a break from the commercials during the game to read some of the following resources for baseball and the law.
RIAJ Gala, and a Big RWU Law Presence
We are proud of our long-standing affiliation with the Rhode Island Association for Justice and the closeness of that relationship was on display at the group's recent gala.
RWU Law, Connecting across the Country
They say "it's a small world," and an email I recently received proves that adage….
Luis Mancheno, RWU Law class of 2013, was just settling into his new job at the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project in Arizona, when he came across a proudly-displayed poster for the movie Conviction. Here's the connection: the movie recounts the gripping story of RWU Law grad Betty Anne Waters (class of 1998, and now a globe-trotting emissary for human rights), who devoted her life (including going to law school), to freeing her wrongfully-convicted brother.

As I am sure you have heard, law school is a beast like no other. The hours spent trying to piece together an intricate contracts case brief, anticipating being cold-called in your Criminal Law class, and agonizing over your semester-long memorandum assignment are among some of the most stressful times.

Sometimes, you seak the hum drum. You yearn for a daily routine, a solid schedule that becomes so consistent you could navegate between classes, work, and school with your eyes closed. It allows you to make plans far in advance, to allot time to get your homework done so you can go out with your friends all weekend. Your life syncs with a calender, with a clock. It ticks as you go; it's simple.
I want to shatter the humdrum. Routine exhausts me. Already this semester, I've fallen into a schedule of when I work out, when I go to class, when I go to work, when I see my friends. It's monotonous, and, despite the comfort inherent in following a consistent schedule, it's making me antsy. I want to go, I want to see, I want to do. I don't want my life to be defined by my planner; I want to fly by the seat of my pants and see where I'll end up. But, when you're chained by exorbitant tuition rates to attending your classes and are required to work if you want to buy groceries, the humdrum syncopates itself in your mind. It becomes your downbeat, your rythym, marching you onward while erasing the fledgling that's trying to get out.
Getting sucked into the hum drum is easy, but, I think getting out of it is simple enough. Defy your rules and regulations-- I'm getting out of Boulder this weekend and the next, and I don't care who knows it. I'm freeing myself; reminding myself of the effervescence of spontenaity and how it can lift the spirit. I'm eschewing a non-mandatory responsibility by deciding to give up my internship, which quite frankly has morphed from the route to my dreams to the depletion of my energy. It's part of the humdrum; and overload will do nothing to a person but weigh them down, leading them to function less productively. It's the meanality filing of papers and data entry that are inflating my perceived humdrum and subsequently causing me to go biserk.
It was a big decision-- to give up something that could "look so good on a resume." But at what cost?
I'm sticking it to the humdrum- I'm leaving town and not looking back for a whole weekend. I hoping this will invigorate me again, restore my energy so that I can committ myself to doing something new and different; to compel myself to forever reject the humdrum.

To ancient Egyptians, this miniature representation of a nude young girl would have had erotic appeal. Her heavy wig alludes to the Egyptian practice of wearing an elaborate coiffure during sex. The gesture of placing the left hand beneath the breast also had a strong sexual connotation. Although this figure's original function is not clear, the loop on the top of the head implies that it was suspended from a cord.
Catalogue Description:
Small painted ivory statuette of a nude standing girl, wearing elaborately braided wig; suspension loop on the top of wig. Left arm held under breasts. Hair painted black; minute traces of red pigment on body. Condition: Practically perfect. Necklace missing. Two minute holes just above pelvis suggest figure may have worn a belt or girdle.

Lyle, 14, from Dunbar, marked her debut in Great Britain and Northern Ireland colours by claiming gold in the T35 100 metres at the European Championships in Swansea.
Coached by Henry Gray, Lyle, who has cerebral palsy, won in a time of 14.92 and said: "I'm really pleased - I've been working really hard towards this and I'm just really glad it's all paid off.
"I try to block out any pressure and just think about what I need to do. The crowd were really amazing. They got behind me, which made me feel confident and raring to go.
"It's important for my parents too because we've been working towards this for a while. It's a big team effort just making my dinner, taking me to training and emotional support so they have been really good.
"It's also been great to be part of the British team - they [her fellow athletes and support staff] have all been amazing."
Lyle's victory came as a timely development for team morale after the news that another star of Glasgow 2014, Libby Clegg had withdrawn from the championships.
The partially-sighted sprinter had been suffering from a viral infection and did not feel fit enough to defend her European title.
There were also gold medals yesterday for London Paralympic champion Mickey Bushell (T53 100m) and Erin McBride (T13 100m), and silver medals for Paul Blake (T36 400m), Isaac Towers (T34 800m) and the T38 100m world champion, Sophie Hahn.
To the delight of the Welsh crowd, Kyron Duke won the final medal of the day for GB & NI as he collected silver in the F41 javelin to take the team's overall tally to six gold, seven silver and 11 bronze medals.
With three days of the competition still to go, the home team with 26 medals trail only Russia (38, including 16 golds) in the medal table.

Happy Adoption Story from a Family of Adopted Kids
I asked readers of The Adoption Diaries to tell me a happy, true story of adoption because we've been focusing on some of the recent foster care and adoption horror stories, like the Sandusky scandal at Penn State.
So outspoken reader Jamie wrote, "Here's a good adoption story. If you did more research you would find many good stories. My aunt and uncle adopted my cousin when he was two days old, and he is loved, treated with all the respect in the world. He was never abused by anyone. My own parents adopted three children: my older brother was adopted when he was 7; my sister and I were adopted at ages 3 and 4.
Raised happy, good Jewish kids by the grace of God. We all had wonderful childhoods and we're all still close. My brother went on to be an underwater welder, my sisters are both in college now and I'm an aesthetician; all four good people with great lives.
I am sure that 99% of adoptive parents are good loving people who don't rape or abuse there children…"
That's a smart response to my lamenting posts about adopting from foster care and being afraid of the the emotional composition of these kids, many of whom were born addicted to drugs or alcohol.
Breaking News: Father's Age Is Linked to Autism
Cell mutations become more numerous with advancing age, so older men are more likely than younger ones to father a child who develops autism or schizophrenia. Scientists just reported in Nature last week, the age of mothers had no significance.
According to the study, surging rate of autism diagnoses over recent decades is partially attributable to the increasing average age of fathers, and may account for as many as 30 percent of new cases. The overall risk to a man in his forties is 2 percent and increases each year.
There are many autistic children up for adoption in foster care situations all across America; it takes a strong commitment to parent a troubled kid.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI):
Updated News and Information for
Colorado Backyard and Small Poultry Producers
Because of the ongoing disease outbreak and the potential for spillover from wildlife, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become of significant importance for small poultry producers. The United States has been hard hit by a growing highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak since late 2014. The first detection of HPAI in this outbreak was reported by Washington State on December 19, 2014. Since that first report, this ongoing outbreak has resulted in the destruction of more than 20 million birds, marking it as the largest avian influenza outbreak in United States history.

Sega today revealed the first details of its game based on the upcoming holiday film The Golden Compass, itself an adaptation of the first book in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials fantasy trilogy.
Scheduled for release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, and PC, The Golden Compass is under development at Shiny Entertainment, the Foundation 9-owned studio behind Earthworm Jim and, more recently, a pair of console games based on The Matrix films.
The game will feature the likenesses of the film's cast, including Daniel Craig (Casino Royale, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) and Dakota Blue Richards, the newly discovered actress who will play protagonist Lyra Belacqua. When asked if the game would include the likenesses of fellow cast members Nicole Kidman (Cold Mountain, BMX Bandits), Sam Elliott (Ghost Rider, Road House), and Eva Green (Casino Royale, Kingdom of Heaven), or any voice work from the stars, a Sega representative said it had yet to be determined.
Gamers will be able to take control of Lyra, her animal companion Pan, and their armor-wearing polar bear companion, Iorek Byrnison. As Lyra, players will rely on special items and sneakiness to make progress along the dangerous quest, while Iorek will provide a more physical presence with special attacks as he tries to protect Lyra. The game's 13 environments will consist of areas from the film as well as new environments that go beyond the silver-screen adaptation.
The Golden Compass should arrive in theaters December 7, with the Sega game adaptation set to precede it sometime this fall.

Jerry Gil hasn't changed positions in a year or so and would have a nice arm behind the plate.
Frazier and Francisco, though they're too advanced at this stage.
Hah, no mention of the future HOF, Devin Mesoraco?
I don't see why you wouldn't make that an annual project, actually. Draft a guy around round 10 or so with a promising bat but maybe shaky as his position, maybe with a few athletic tools that you might think would allow him to play the decision. When you get that far in the draft, it's already a big gamble anyway, so why not go for a big payoff?
Don't know about the arms and they would probably all be miserable failures, but I'd consider Cody Puckett, Byron Wiley, Logan Parker and Alex Bucholz
Is Wiley's arm strong enough because I think he'd be perfect
Picture of Soto doing what looks to be catching drills:
No Problem
For the record, I doubt if Soto would make a good Catcher. He might be able to play Catcher, but I doubt if he'd be a good one. He'd more likely be a Mike Piazza type of Catcher than a Mike Scioscia type of Catcher.
Players don't "become" Catchers. They become other positions after beginning as Catchers. It's extremely rare than anyone can move to Catcher from another position (unless they used to be Catchers earlier, but then that's not really a move to Catcher).
This is why you draft Catchers and Shortstops. These players can always move to other positions, not the other way around.

SUNRISE, Fla. Florida Panthers defenseman Ed Jovanovski will miss the remainder of the season with a hip injury, the team announced Thursday. Jovanovski will undergo surgery April 5. The injury is not career threatening, a Panthers spokesman said. Named Panthers captain prior to the start of this season, Jovanovski was limited to just six games this season. He finished with one assist, a minus-4 rating and averaged 15:39 of ice time per game. Jovanovski missed a stretch of 21 games due to what many believed was a knee injury suffered Jan. 31 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. On March 9 he revealed it was a different lower-body injury which had kept him out of the Cats lineup. The 36-year-old defenseman returned on March 16 in Florida's 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders. He played a little more than 14 minutes over the first two periods, but did not skate in the third. Jovanovski joins a lengthy list of Panthers who have suffered season-ending injuries. Florida previously lost top-li...

The Medway Beer Festival is under way and it features the biggest collection of bottled 2013 Belgian Christmas beers in the UK.
The three-day event started on Thursday at the Stanley Ballroom at St George Hotel in Gundulph Road, Chatham.
Event organiser John Brice – who runs the King George V in Brompton – said: "We have more than 220 beers and ciders on sale, and that's far more than ever before.
"As well as the 50 real ales, we have a dozen ciders and almost 100 Belgian beers.
"I went to Bruges on Monday to see what was available, and returned with 30 [beers].
"That's an incredible amount so early before Christmas."
There is also a stall with a collection of around 80 bottled Kent ales for people to buy and take home.
That is probably more Kent bottled beers in one place than has ever been achieved before.
The real ales at the festival include 10 from Kent producers that have sent brewers along to talk to drinkers.
Cider makers from Magic Bus, which was created in Chatham, and Longtail from Higham will also be on hand to talk to festival-goers.
Doors open on Friday and Saturday at 11am, and last orders are at 11pm.
Medway Messenger readers can use a voucher in tomorrow's paper to get £1 off the entry fee.

It All Comes Down to Chickens
Posted by Sgt. Mom on 16th May 2015 (All posts by Sgt. Mom)
But my daughter and I were considering it over the last couple of years, along with all of our other ventures into suburban self-efficiency – the garden, the cheese-making, the home-brewing and canning, the deep-freeze stocked full, the pantry likewise. I put off doing anything about chickens until two things happened: we finally encountered the woman in our neighborhood who keeps a small flock of backyard chickens, and she took us to see her flock. She told us that it was not much trouble, really, and the eggs were amazingly flavorful. In comparison, supermarket eggs – even the expensive organic and supposedly free-range kind were insipid and tasteless.

Billie Jean King honored at SBA
Published May 23, 2011, Page 38
Nearly four decades after beating Bobby Riggs in arguably the most important sports event of the 20th century, Billie Jean King says men and women still come up to her with tears in their eyes to thank her.
The recipient of the 2011 Lifetime Achievement Award from SportsBusiness Journal/Daily, King told the packed Sports Business Awards show last week that she is particularly proud of the effect the match had on today's 40- and 50-year-old men, who want equality for their daughters.
When King beat Riggs in the famous Battle of the Sexes matches, she pointed out, women couldn't even get credit cards on their own.
The pressure was immense on her to win, as if all of the feminist movement's burdens fell on her shoulders.
"I still wake up thinking I have not played that match," she said, noting that she is quickly relieved when she realizes it is long over.
King, of course, has done much more than defeat Riggs. A tennis hall of famer, she founded the WTA Tour and World TeamTennis and has long been an advocate for kids playing sports.
She thanked in particular the late founder of IMG, Mark McCormack, and the late Roone Arledge, the ABC Sports head who put the Battle of the Sexes match on the air. She also thanked her partner, Ilana Kloss, the CEO and commissioner of WTT.
Chris Evert, who introduced King, said of her onetime rival and longtime friend, "She is very unselfish and is the wisest person I know." King has even given child-rearing advice to Evert, the star recounted, even though King has no kids. And King, Evert added with a laugh, was always somehow right.
Leaving the stage, King made clear she's not finished with her life's work.
"If you are wondering," she said, "I am not done yet."
Highlights Of The Achievements Of Billie Jean King
- Founder of the Women's Tennis Association (1973)
- Founder of the Women's Sports Foundation (1974)
- Founder of World TeamTennis (1974)
- Became the first tennis player and first female athlete to be named Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year (1972)
- Life magazine named her one of the 100 Most Important Americans of the 20th Century (1990)
- Recipient of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award (1999)
- USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows was rededicated as the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center (2006)
- Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama (2009)

Chris Evert was the surprise presenter of the Lifetime Achievement Award to Billie Jean King. Ellen Merlo of Philip Morris (third photo, middle) was cited by King as a major influence in the sponsorship of women's sports.

Nature: Mystery bird is a Mississippi kite
By Gary Clark | August 31, 2012 | Updated: August 31, 2012 4:36pm
Photo By Debbie FerrellHandsome Mississippi kites are migrating through the area. Look for their numbers to peak the first week in September.

More Information
Mississippi kites
Folk names: hovering kite, mosquito hawk, blue snake-hawk.
Size and flight: With a 3-foot wingspan and measuring about 17 inches long, the kite looks like a peregrine falcon but flies in swooping motions like a gull.
Sociable: Breeds, roosts, forages and migrates in small colonies
Nesting: A bowl-shaped nest of sticks and twigs is braced in a tree-fork near the trunk. Tends to nest in mature forests in the east but will nest in urban, suburban and rural tree groves in Oklahoma and Texas. Recently has begun nesting in fairly large numbers within wooded urban neighborhoods.
Foraging: Usually hunts along woodland edges, fields, parks and golf courses but also skims tops of trees. Diet consists of dragonflies, grasshoppers, lizards, anoles, snakes and a variety of vertebrate animals including small songbirds, bats and mice.
Vocalization: Utters a high-pitched, piercing, two-syllable whistle that sounds like pheee-phew.
Readers often email me this time of year, sometimes with accompanying photos, to find out the identity of a sleek, grayish, hawklike bird.
What they are usually seeing is a Mississippi kite, and typically, they'll see flocks of the kites circling overhead or swirling down in the evening to roost in neighborhood trees. Their numbers peak around Labor Day, tapering off rapidly as September comes to an end.
Of course, it's the season of raptor migration with thousands of hawks and kites winding through Texas skies on the way to winter homes in Latin America. Mississippi kites follow a route deep into South America.
Most of the time, migrating raptors are in a hurry. Not Mississippi kites. They take a leisurely journey southward, stopping for a few days in urban and suburban neighborhoods, swooping languidly over city office complexes and often surprising joggers by spiraling along wooded jogging trails.
Whenever or wherever seen, the birds definitely attract attention due in part to their buoyant, low-level flight but largely to their handsome plumage. They look decked out in a gray flannel suit, with light to almost white coloring on their breast and belly along with a pearly gray head and black mask surrounding red eyes. Adding to their debonair appearance are a black tail and yellowish-red legs.
Perhaps the birds are lazily traversing Central and Southeast Texas because they don't come from too far away. They breed in the Texas Panhandle, western Oklahoma and in Southern states from South Carolina through the Florida Panhandle and across to Arkansas.
Yes, they also breed in their namesake Mississippi, where allegedly the first specimen was collected during expeditions to the Louisiana Purchase, acquired in 1803.
The birds also have isolated breeding populations as far west as New Mexico and Arizona. A few breed in East Texas, Washington County and in counties on the upper and central Texas coast.
But most of the migratory flocks we see are likely arriving from breeding grounds in other Southern states or in the Texas Panhandle. Curiously, the precise whereabouts of their winter home deep in South America - perhaps as far as Paraguay and Argentina - is scarcely known and bears further study.
Acrobatic though the kites are when flying just above neighborhood treetops, the birds are not putting on a Cirque du Soleil-type show. No, the birds are hunting live prey, picking off cicadas from trees, snatching dragonflies in midair, grabbing grasshoppers and seizing many other tree-dwelling or flying insects. But they also will angle agilely and quickly to the ground to nab frogs, toads, lizards, snakes and even small birds.

I think the art of marketing, is more important that the making of the art, that is not to say and unskilled photographer will do great if he is a great marketer, but it does embellish the thought that if you have the skill as an artist, it is imperitive to have the skill as a marketer, I currently have pretty good success at selling quite a few pieces, but the exposure came at the expence of donating quite a few pieces to auctions to raise money for a good cause, and now that has transformed over into sales from people who have seen my pieces at the auctions and requested a portfolio of my work, hence resulting in a good bit of sales.
But the ability to make a living off of art photography is difficult at best and for most a very long and thin income venture, I supplement my fine art sales quite a bit with regular stock and often a wedding or some other form of photography, the current ground glass business came about because of lackluster photography sales and the need for a screen for one of my own cameras, in which I did not have the funds to purchase. I have listed work on ebay with some success, but they are not my fine art pieces, the only thing I list on ebay for print sales has actually been posters that retail for a small amount of money, which does not pose the threat of lessing the value of the actual print.
Just my .02.

This park offers many amenities such as a pool, play area which would be important for a family vacation. But, for just a quick overnight, it was a bit pricey. We were parked in a "pull-through" which, in reality, was just a part of the road that had a hookup provided. Spaces were close. If my neighbor had his slide out, I would've been able to borrow the salt and pepper through our window. The young man who checked us in was efficient and friendly and walked us out to our space. The Wi-Fi was very weak, even from our space near the office. We would stay here again because apparently there is very little else in the area. Our RV is 40' long. - themom3

What a nice small KOA, wonderful family run with very clean campground. The small creek that runs through offers fishing, the pool was very nice and we are likely to return. Staff was available to answer questions and helped with a concern we had. Sites are close together which is a drawback but the only one. Wifi is poor but hey it's camping! - Jayco owner
Jun 2014 - $40.00
It's not surprising that the reviews are so varied since its a small park but has 3 separate areas. The area by the office is right by a high speed county road and the sites are extremely narrow - most will not allow slides to open. The area behind the office is grassed with several large trees, but the ground level is very close to the water table and very soggy when we were there. Even more of a concern is that the pull-through sites are for two units, both facing the same way, so if its busy, you can get trapped. Some tent campsites are along the edge of this area, others are on the other side of the creek on higher ground and seem quite good. The Wi-Fi is very weak, even close to the office; most web sites will not open. I will not be back. - JTD2

Price is little high, but with Passport America very good. Excellent for a couple days stay passing through. Very clean and neat. Level, Long Pull-throughs. Right off Interstate which is nice, but adds noise if you have windows open. WiFi is best we have seen in awhile. worked in the rain and late afternoon. Sites are pretty close together and hook-ups for RV next to you are pretty close to your awing or door, but no smell or anything. Pool clean and nice. People very nice. - RVing Along

This park is suffering from a lack of cash. The grounds are not mowed more than once a month. The water pump was broken requiring you to fill tank at host site. Dump station filthy with feces and toilet paper all over and back wash hose broken requiring you to use fresh water pump. Very unsanitary. No ranger at gate shack ever. No security noticed during our 5 days there. Beautiful park but campground almost unusable. - wendie T
Jun 2014 - $25.00
Starved Rock truly is an amazing place, which is why we wanted to camp here. The campground is very close to the park and hiking trails, so that was good. The vast majority of the loop our site was on was heavily wooded. Only a few sites near the entrance of the loop were full sun. We were in sites 61 & 63, which were full sun. There were many tent campers here. There was one major, major issue that is the reason I'm giving this campground such a poor rating. The bathrooms were deplorable. The loop was very large, and had flush toilets/showers near the front, and outhouses in the middle and back. There were WAY too many people using the flush toilets and showers, and things got really gross, really fast. Urinals overflowed in the men's room onto the floor. By Sunday morning, none of the three toilets in the women's restroom were operational. The playground was mediocre. We will never camp here again because of the bathroom situation. We had no choice but to pack up and leave first thing Sunday morning. - rollinrollinrollin

VALLEY SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) — A region of oak-studded hills in California, where big-city dwellers come to get away from crime, was on lockdown Monday, two days after a mysterious intruder stabbed an 8-year-old girl to death at home before being spotted by her 12-year-old brother.
With the suspect still on the loose, some of the kids in this enclave nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills were hunkering down after school at James Barci's ranch.
"Nobody is staying alone," said Barci, a truck driver and parent volunteer at Jenny Lind Elementary School, where victim Leila Fowler was a popular third-grader. "I told my work I'm not coming in, and I'm just going to have all of my kids' friends at the house until this is over."
The apparently random attack has the tightknit community on edge. Parents such as Barci spontaneously showed up Monday at the school of 500 students to give hugs or tie purple and pink ribbons — Leila's favorite colors — to trees on campus.
Later Monday, authorities identified the girl's parents while also saying a witness saw a person running from the family home that had a similar description of a man who fled from the home when the girl's brother confronted him.
In a hastily called news conference, Calaveras County sheriff's Capt. Jim Macedo identified the father of Leila Fowler as Barney Fowler and the mother as Krystal Walters.
The names of the parents hadn't previously been released.
As Macedo spoke, Fowler and Walters — both solemn and declining to speak, and with Walters near tears at times — stood in the background. Macedo said Leila's parents wanted to convey their requests that their privacy be respected, but also that a memorial fund had been set up for their daughter. A vigil is also planned for Tuesday night.
No suspects have been named, but officials said a second witness saw someone with a description similar to one provided by Leila's brother of a man who ran from the home when the boy confronted him.
Investigators have also checked registered sex offenders in the area and parolees.
In a pastoral place where fat horses swish their tails in knee-high grass and few people had ever bothered to lock their doors, residents now say their guns are loaded.
"My husband wanted me to put one in my car so I'd have it in my hand when I entered the house," Tabatha Camden said as she dropped off a neighbor's children at the school. "I drew the line at that. We've always had one gun loaded in the house at all times, but now we have four."
The sheriff's office has released little information about the killing other than a vague description of a man with long gray hair. Calaveras County Deputy Coroner Steve Moore said the girl died from multiple stab wounds.
The Fowler family's hillside street is blocked off as a crime scene, since nobody knows for sure how the intruder arrived or where he went.
Violent crime is so rare in the community of 7,400 people that even law enforcement officers have to stop and think when asked about the last time there was a stranger killing in the area.
