2Wire picks Broadcom's SoC solution for MediaPoint
2Wire has selected Broadcom Corp.'s BCM7405 digital set-top box system-on-a-chip (SoC) solution to power its new MediaPoint digital media player.
The MediaPoint player enables service providers to provide entertainment offerings delivered directly to customers' TVs, including movies, video, music and other on-demand, Web-based media content, as well as personal music and video content.
2Wire will use the BCM7405 STB SoC to further enhance the performance of the MediaPoint broadband entertainment solution to meet next-generation service provider requirements and provide a cost-effective means to deliver on-demand Internet content and personal media directly to the TV, according to the company.
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week, Broadcom is demonstrating the capabilities of its BCM7405 on the 2Wire MediaPoint digital media player.
In November, 2Wire and Blockbuster announced that the 2Wire MediaPoint player would be used to provide instant access to Blockbuster OnDemand content.
Meanwhile, 2Wire has introduced the HomePortal GEM platform, which includes intelligent gateways and expansion modules that enable services ranging from cordless phone DECT base stations and femtocells to home control interfaces and intelligent home servers.
The GEM platform is designed for incremental expansion through physical modules, as well as through next-generation software, applications and management systems, the company said. And the application software development kit (SDK) and snap-on hardware modules allow service providers to provision a variety of applications – including their own and those authored by third parties.
The first wave of GEM applications is expected to include technology from companies such as Logitech, OpenDNS and SharedBand. New third-party applications will include home surveillance, home automation, digital media server and digital life backup services, among others, according to 2Wire.
The GEM platform enables integration with retail home networking and consumer electronics devices. It offers an integrated solution for delivering data, voice and entertainment services, and it works with home networking technologies including Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB 2.0.
Initial samples of the 2Wire HomePortal GEM platform are currently being evaluated by service providers, 2Wire said, and volume shipment is expected this year.

Not rain, nor snow, nor dark of night could stop Clyde Newton on Friday.
After a season-worst 73 yards rushing in last week's loss to Fort Myers, Newton more than made up for it against Gulf Coast, rushing for 208 yards on just nine carries and five touchdowns as the Tarpons rolled to a 49-0 victory in their District 7A-11 opener on homecoming night.
"We worked them hard this week. We had to come out ready to play and we did," Charlotte coach Binky Waldrop said. "The rain delay was tough, but we're happy. Everybody got to play tonight."
Newton ran for scores of 53, 24, 54, 6 and 51 yards, with the first two sandwiching a nearly 90-minute rain delay as Charlotte gained 371 yards on the ground. A running clock was agreed to midway through the second quarter.
"Clyde missed a couple days of practice, so he had some fresh legs," Waldrop said. "He's always ready to play."
The Fighting Tarpons (4-2, 1-0) took three plays to score their first touchdown, with Newton running up the middle the final 53 yards to give them a 7-0 lead one minute into the game.
After the delay, which canceled the halftime homecoming parade, Charlotte took up where it left off. On their next possession, the Tarpons went 40 yards on five plays, with Newton scoring from 24 yards out to extend the lead to 14-0.
Moments later, Newton completed the hat trick with a 54-yard run on a third-and-18 draw play to make it 21-0.
Newton added two more scores in the second quarter, from six and 51 yards, to make the score 35-0. The coaches agreed at that point to start the running clock for the rest of the game.
"It's good to do this and get back on track. Everybody got to touch the ball. That's a good feeling," Newton said. "I salute my line for giving me those big holes. Made it easy to run."
Amari Washington added a pair of scores for Charlotte with a 31-yard run off-tackle and a 41-yarder in the third quarter. Washington gained 94 yards on eight carries.
"We're 1-0 in the district, and the bye week couldn't have come at a better time," Waldrop said. "We're a little dinged up. It'll be a good resting week."
Gulf Coast (1-4, 0-1) gained 101 total yards on the Charlotte defense, and committed two turnovers on a Mike D'Alassandro interception and a Jon Ahrens fumble recovery.
Jonathan Cosme caught three passes for 39 yards for the Sharks.

RALEIGH, N.C. - The NC State women's volleyball team will have an important home stand this weekend, when it faces Wake Forest on Friday, Oct. 11 and Duke on Sunday, Oct. 13. Friday's match is slated to begin at 7 p.m., while first serve is scheduled for 2 p.m. against the Blue Devils on Sunday.
Admission is free to both matches and both contests will be streamed live on GoPack.com.
The Wolfpack (12-4, 3-1 ACC) is coming off a strong weekend, highlighted by road wins at Boston College on Friday and Syracuse on Sunday. State collected its sixth shutout of the season against the Eagles, 3-0, and defeated the Orange by a final score of 3-1.

In addition, there are eight other sets that the Pack has led the entire time, but the opponent has tied the score at some point in the frame.
Seniors Kristin Grissom and Kylie Hargreaves lead the offensive attack with 178 and 173 kills, respectively. Freshman Sophia Dodd serves as the team's setter and has tallied 489 assists this season. The team's libero, sophomore Megan Miller, leads the squad with 235 digs.
Last season, NC State split the series with Wake Forest defeating the Deacons, 3-0 in Reynolds Coliseum and dropping a 3-2 contest in Winston-Salem, N.C.
The Blue Devils' outside hitters lead the squad offensively. Sophomore Emily Skylar leads the team with 178 kills, while junior Jeme Obeime has recorded 168. Junior Maggie Deichmeister is the team's setter and has dished out 547 assists. Senior libero Ali McCurdy paces the defense with 218 digs.
NC State defeated Duke at home last season in Reynolds Coliseum, 3-1, but suffered a tough 3-2 loss against the Devils in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Another good hobby is family genealogy. If you are not familiar with some of the branches of your family tree, this may be the year to begin.
Three cousins came to check on their family tree in a cemetery in Cross last Friday. Sherry L. Mitchum Peters of Columbia, Frances M. Webb of Summerton, and Iris Mitchum, now in Columbia , came researching the Mitchum family of Berkeley County.
These ancestors of the three cousins were found in the cemetery at Friendship U.M. Church.
Do you know where any of your ancestors are buried, and why should it matter at all to you? If you don't know where you came from, do you know where you are and where you're headed?
Holiday Gathering

BRISTOL — Securing the perimeter against Science Hill is like herding squirrels.
Senior C.J. Good made his 300th career 3-pointer — and four more afterward — and Calvin Songster went 4 of 5 from 3-point range to help the Hilltoppers defeat fired-up Tennessee High 71-52 in the Arby's Classic consolation bracket Saturday morning at Viking Hall.
Science Hill (19-2) will play Father Henry Carr (Toronto) in the sixth-place game on Monday at 1 p.m.
The Hilltoppers got 19 points apiece from Good and Songster and finished 12 of 24 behind the arc. Good didn't know he had 299 treys entering the game.
"I had no idea," a surprised Good said. "I just think it's a lot of threes. It's crazy."
Good works relentlessly without the ball to get open, and his release is quicker than previous seasons.
"He's improved his release," Science Hill coach Ken Cutlip said. "And he shoots such an amazing percentage because he doesn't take bad shots."
Despite Science Hill's shooting, the Vikings (11-6) hung around for three quarters. Adam Mitchell, a 6-foot-3 junior, made a short floater to cut Science Hill's lead to 46-42 with 1:53 left in the third quarter. But Songster answered with a transition follow and a 3-pointer from the left corner on one of Will Adams' six assists to end the period, and the lead was 56-42 with 6:58 left in the game after Good made a trey via one of Reed Hayes' five assists.
"I'm extremely pleased with how they've bounced back from our performance early on (in a loss to Melrose on Wednesday)," Cutlip said. "It's 9 o'clock in the morning and I thought our kids were focused. I mean, we did a really good job of executing, and that's one thing you have to do against Tennessee High in order to get good looks."
The athletic Adams had seven steals and Hayes tallied three. Science Hill finished with 15 steals while forcing 20 turnovers.
"The difference in the game is turnovers," Tennessee High coach Roby Witcher said. "I mean, we have 20 turnovers and they have seven. We out-rebounded them 27-20, which I thought was a good accomplishment. And gosh dang, we had it to the one-and-one (free throws) with 2:48 to go in the first quarter, and only shot one pair of one-and-ones the whole second quarter."
Science Hill made 13 of 15 free throws. Hayes was 7-for-7 at the line. Tennessee High made 8 of 13 foul shots.
Songster, a 6-foot junior wing, was 7 of 10 from the field, including a drive and finish with the left hand that made the score 64-49 with 31â"2 minutes remaining.
"The biggest thing is we're starting to see more consistency out of Calvin," Cutlip said. "He's been doing a great job on the defensive end."
Mitchell had 14 points and eight rebounds for the Vikings. Point guard Caleb Easterling had 10 points and six assists.
"I thought our kids played hard," Witcher said. "We just ran out of gas at the end. We played them man (defense) the majority of the game, chasing guys and trying to make sure they don't get open looks. …
"It's hard to give up 71 and win. We're trying to give up 55. But they shoot it good. They're a good team."
Father Henry Carr 67
Sullivan East 62
The Patriots nearly overcame 7-foot-3 Tanveer Bhullar (16 points, 8-for-8 shooting) and an eight-point deficit in the final two minutes.
Christian Watson's open 3-point attempt in transition with two seconds left would've tied the score at 65, but it was short.
Christian Hewitt made two free throws with 1.1 seconds left to seal it.
"We had a shot," said emotionally drained Sullivan East coach John Dyer. "I mean, the last shot was a great shot."
Watson was instrumental in East having a shot. He'd made 3 of 6 treys before the final attempt, and he leaped in among the taller Crusaders for an offensive rebound that led to a Jordan James 3-pointer that got East within 53-51 with 41â"2 minutes remaining.
Watson also answered with a trey 10 seconds after 6-foot-5 wing Dillon Brooks' two free throws gave Carr a 61-53 lead with 1:51 to go.
The passionate Patriots (14-6) got 20 points and 10 rebounds from 6-foot-9 Jonathan King. He made both of his 3-pointers in the final 47 seconds. The second one made the score 64-62 with 14 seconds left.
Brooks (20 points, nine rebounds) made 1 of 2 free throws to push the lead to three points with 11 seconds to go.
"I thought we competed, and oh my gosh, they are so athletic," Dyer said. "The four guys around the big guy are just pure athletes. We knew if we had to get out of our zone and chase them that it'd be difficult. But I do think that we got down in our stance and we really did play hard … those last four minutes when we had to go man."
David Casaday made three 3-pointers and scored 17 points for the Patriots, whose 1-2 Arby's showing included an 11-point loss to defending champion Christ School and a win against Cherokee.
"Man, you can't buy experience like what we just got to experience in playing three games here against those three teams — and really compete," Dyer said. "We made great efforts and we absolutely never quit. I'm just proud of my team. I'm proud of who we are."
Dobyns-Bennett 55
Berkmar, Ga. 54
The Indians' A.J. Anderson made two free throws when what appeared to be a phantom foul call was made with no time on the clock after Anderson missed a game-winning attempt from the top of the key.
It completed a 19-point game for Anderson and left seemingly everyone in the arena confused, Anderson among them.
"I did think it was over," Anderson said through the smile of a cat that's swallowed the canary. "As soon as, well, obviously after I shot the ball and it hit the front of the rim I threw my arm down because I thought I'd missed it. And I turned around and I saw the ref with the whistle in his mouth and that's when I realized that there'd been a foul called."
Anderson understood the anger of the Berkmar coaches, players and fans.
"Yeah, I would be (mad)," Anderson said.
Berkmar coach Greg Phillips said he didn't see a foul on the decisive call.
"I saw the shot go up, I heard the buzzer," Phillips said. "I thought it was over. We turned around, you know, we were lining up to shake hands and turned around and heard everybody yelling, 'Foul? Foul?' …
"According to High School Federation rules if you call a foul in the last second, then there has to be time on the clock. … That's national federation rules, Tennessee, Georgia, it doesn't matter. … They said, 'No, that's not the rule,' which, that is the rule."
Anderson made 4 of 5 3-point attempts. John Fulkerson and Makale Foreman added 12 and 11 points, respectively, for D-B (9-3). Foreman missed the beginning of the game due to forgetting his uniform, and Anderson's sister, Alex, delivered it from Kingsport.
Berkmar's 6-foot-11 Tim Rowe had 14 points. Malcolm Hannah added 10.
Oak Ridge 71
Princeton Day, Md. 54
Shooting guard Cory Fagan scored 21 points and 6-foot combo Jaylin Henderson punctuated a 19-point performance with a two late dunks for the Wildcats (10-3).
Left-handed 6-foot-6 post Isaac Merian had 10 points, nine rebounds and five blocks.
Brandon Better scored 19 points despite 5-of-21 shooting to lead the Storm, which was again without touted 5-foot-7 point guard Aquille Carr.

SIBU: The brownish tap water in Belaga will be a thing of the past in a few days' time as arrangement is underway to supply diesel to power the generator which runs the new water treatment plant.
Belaga assemblyman Liwan Lagang said yesterday this was not a technical problem, pointing out that reverting temporarily to the old plant that had not been used for nearly a month had caused the water in the taps to be brownish.
Liwan, who is Assistant Minister of Culture and Heritage, urged residents there not to be unduly worried as the water is safe for consumption.
"I have contacted the divisional engineer for Kapit and was told the new water treatment plant had in fact started commissioning. But, it is not connected to Sesco's grid lines as their (Sesco) old generator set in Belaga could not generate the volume of power needed.
"So, they are using their own generator to power the plant but recently, the contractor, who was supposed to supply the diesel could not supply the quantity needed, compelling the use of the old plant to ensure no disruption to water supply.
"Of course, the water is murky or brownish since the old plant has not been used for nearly a month since the commissioning of the new water treatment plant," he told The Borneo Post.
He was responding to news report that residents in Belaga had complained of the unsatisfactory quality of water supplied to the town.
A resident, Neo Kek Seng, claimed that the water appeared brownish and was worried whether it was safe for consumption.
To this, Liwan said: "Hopefully, according to the divisional engineer, they can rectify the diesel supply contract within two to three days, enabling them to revert to the use of the new water treatment plant.
"I am getting them to furnish me the name of the tenderer who supplies the diesel to make the necessary arrangements to supply diesel needed to power the generator to run the new plant."
Towards this end, he hoped Sesco would upgrade their generator in Belaga and if possible hasten the grid connection from Bakun or Similajau.

Alterraun Verner had an excellent 2013 season for the Tennessee Titans, but it doesn't look quite as impressive when you consider the quality of the receivers he was covering.

During the offseason, there is a lot of time to kill. Some people take holidays, some people focus on the draft and some people watch a lot of really bad TV. Me? I spend my time writing about cornerbacks.
Analysis of the cornerback position is more reliant on a player's reputation and the narrative surrounding that player than any other in today's NFL. Because most of their work comes off camera and because analysts during the season have more important things to focus on, there isn't a mainstream avenue for in-depth cornerback analysis.

His Girls
written by Julie Chevalier
Puncher & Wattmann | ISBN 9781921450648
Member's price: $21.60
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
Henry Darger was an untrained artist and a social isolate who was obsessed with little girls. When he died in Chicago in 1973 at the age of 81, his work was completely unknown. Now his work is hung in major international art galleries and his innovative use of materials places him in the pop art milieu. The poems in this book tell the story of his life.
What the critics said about Linen Tough As History: "Chevalier demonstrates a love of the comic and an admirable facility for wordplay. She revels in finding odd junctures, in coming at her subjects sidelong and with a raised eyebrow. Her style is fresh, incisive and she has a deft ability to nuance her poems with an impressive tonal range and an eye for weird personal and social milieus, finding imagery and syntax to match." – Judith Beveridge
"Chevalier's fine-tuned ear makes her poems enjoyably fluent and direct, their observational stance driven by restless interest in the world around her and its linguistic and formal mediation." – Kate Lilley
Artist: Henry Darger

Is It A Bad Idea To Drive Your Kid Around For Nap Time?
14 months.
Up until last weekend, I wasn't okay with the idea of Jack becoming dependent on my driving him around in the car in order to get him to sleep.
Though I trained him to sleep through the night at 7 months, he has continued to put up a fight when it comes to daytime naps.
Given that I'm pretty sure I've developed a bit of Carpal Tunnel in my left hand from toting him around, I realize the need to give my wrist a rest whenever I can.
So I'm not one of those dads, like this guy I work with, Greg, who will spend hours at a time rocking his son to sleep and keeping him asleep.
Maybe I'm French or something, but I don't want my son to become physically dependent on me for his naps.
So I figured if I have to choose between him being dependent on me doing something in order to sleep, I'd rather it be of me driving him around the neighborhood. It's a win-win-win situation.
Jack fell asleep within 10 minutes of riding in his car seat as I listened to the jazz station on the radio. Then, once I heard him snoring, I pulled the car into a parking spot, turned off the engine and kept the radio on.
That's when I pulled out the current book I was reading. It was Jon Acuff's Quitter; which between the 4 naps on Saturday and Sunday, allowed me to basically finish the thing cover to cover.
Meanwhile, my wife was able to get some housework done and eventually got some chill-out time; which she spent watching House Hunters on her laptop.
So to answer the question I asked in the title of this… no. Not only is it not bad, it's good. Really good.
Jack gets a nap. I get to read a book while listening to jazz. My wife gets time to catch up on things, including rest.
I always appreciate our time together as a family. But it's also important that we all have time to do our own things separately. Win-win-win.Add a Comment

The MMO industry has had better weeks, and as much as we'd like to put all the layoffs, PR spin, and doom-and-gloom behind us, it wouldn't be much of a Week in Review if we did so.
The big news was, of course, the messy implosion of 38 Studios, which not only put a lot of developers out of work and tarnished Curt Schilling's reputation but also led to the closure of 38's Big Huge Games subsidiary. Not to be outdone was BioWare, which laid off an undisclosed amount of its Star Wars: The Old Republic workforce and attempted to downplay the cuts as standard operating procedure.

Story Structure: The Key to Successful Fiction (Red Sneaker Writers Book Series 1)
by William Bernhardt
Kindle Edition: 132 pages
Publisher: Red Sneaker Press
List Price:
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
"Writing is structure," William Goldman said, but too often aspiring writers plunge into their work without grasping this fundamental principle. Story structure is one of the most important concepts for a writer to understand—and ironically, one of the least frequently taught. In this book, New York Times-bestselling author William Bernhardt explains the elements that make stories work, using examples spanning from Gilgamesh to The Hunger Games. In each chapter, he introduces essential concepts in a direct and easily comprehended manner. Most importantly, Bernhardt demonstrates how you can apply these ideas to improve your own writing.
William Bernhardt is the author of more than thirty books, including the blockbuster Ben Kincaid series of legal thrillers. Bernhardt is also one of the most sought-after writing instructors in the nation. His programs have educated many authors now published by major houses. He is the only person to have received the Southern Writers Gold Medal Award, the Royden B. Davis Distinguished Author Award (U Penn), and the H. Louise Cobb Distinguished Author Award (OSU), which is given "in recognition of an outstanding body of work that has profoundly influenced the way in which we understand ourselves and American society at large."
The Red Sneaker Writing Center is dedicated to helping writers achieve their literary goals. What is a red sneaker writer? A committed writer seeking useful instruction and guidance rather than obfuscation and attitude. Red sneakers get the job done, and so do red sneaker writers, by paying close attention to their art and craft, committing to hard work, and never quitting. Are you a red sneaker writer? If so, this book is for you.

For additional information, contact Karen MacDonald at email@example.com
On Nov. 16, the Kent Area Chamber of Commerce hosted the 2011 Tree City Awards and recognized Kent State University Libraries with an IMMY award for its contributions to local businesses. IMMYs are given to recognize quality businesses and individuals in the Kent area in support of economic retention, reinvestment and new facilities development.
Ken Burhanna and Christine Ughrin, both of University Libraries, and Joe Salem, formerly of University Libraries, contributed their time and expertise toward these successes. Burhanna, associate professor and head of instructional services at University Libraries, accepted the IMMY award at the event.
Recognizing the importance of entrepreneurial success and economic development in the Kent area, Jim Bracken, dean of Kent State University Libraries, and his business librarians have been reaching out to local businesses, development agencies and entrepreneurs to create partnerships for success.
"Remaining consistent with President Lefton's strategic goals, we are connecting with the world beyond our campus as we continue to look for ways to help the community," Bracken said.
University Libraries has been providing local community members, business owners and entrepreneurs with community borrower access to, and assistance with, the vast information resources available within the libraries. These resources can be accessed through training sessions and one-on-one research consultations.
University Libraries' business librarians have worked with the Small Business Development Center in Kent. This partnership has enabled business owners to find valuable market research for their business plans, which has lead to stronger applications to fund the launching of new ventures or expanding growing businesses. Recently, University Libraries played a role in the successes of Anderson Aerospace, a local satellite communications firm.

Birmingham is the largest city in England outside of London. Located in the West Midlands area of England, the history of the city started as a market town dating back to the medieval period. Today, Birmingham is seen as a "beta" world city and is a major international commercial center. It is a retail hub and home to many large conferences and events.
The Biggest Shows and the Best Shopping
Many of these events are staged at the impressive LG Arena and the National Exhibition Center (better known as NEC), two large indoor arenas that host many events throughout the year. If you're looking for a short shopping trip, then Birmingham has it all. Top of the list is the Bullring Shopping Center, home to one of only four Selfridges and one of the busiest shopping centers in the UK.
For the History Buffs
If you're a fan of history and indeed the medieval times, a trip to the nearby town Warwick, and the fantastic Warwick Castle, is a must-do. This is an experience for all the family and one you'll remember for a long time to come. Birmingham is home to many boutique shops, galleries and exhibition centers, giving you lots to see and do when you visit the city. For the chocolate lovers among you, be sure to check out Cadbury's World of Chocolate.

MUWAT Kentucky Fire Cured Fat Molly
Creativity and Drew Estate Cigars go hand in hand, and nowhere is this more apparent than with MUWAT Kentucky Fire Cured. This is an extension of the My Uzi Weighs a Ton brand, and as with other collaborations between Drew Estate and Joya de Nicaragua, the cigars are being rolled at the JdN factory. The idea comes from Drew Estate co-founder Jonathan Drew and has been in the works for more than two years. The leaves used for the blend are Kentucky fire-cured rather than air-cured, which imparts a unique smoky taste that's unlike anything else on the market. MUWAT Kentucky Fire Cured is a great example of an experiment gone right. The tobacco utilized is stalk-cut, and then fired at a low heat until the ideal brown color is achieved. The resulting taste is full of nuances including roasted hickory, oak, and maple wood that will have your taste buds singing in delight. The cigars are being offered in three sizes, each with retro Americana bands that add to the overall appeal.
First look is a chunky broad leaf wrapper with notable tooth and vein. Pre-light aroma had nuances of sweet cedar, honey, barnyard and smokey campfire. Upon first light the smokey flavors kicked in immediately with notes of sweet cedar, leather and smoked hickory. After cruise control burn the cigar opened up with meaty flavors of smokey campfire, leather, orange peel with muted bitter honey and sweet pepper. Final third all aforementioned flavors converged into a concert of complexity with nuances of smokey campfire leading the way. Construction was flawless with a razor sharp burn line. Re-lights were at my digression as I found myself striking my cedar matches to re-ignite the amazing smokey filled flavors of the fire cured tobacco. Creativity and invention are the mantra of our friends at Drew Estate, the Kentucky fire cure is clearly evident of that idea living up to the hype and worth the wait.

Nica Rustica
Drew Estate's newest creation is Nica Rustica, a one-size line measuring 6 x 52 with a pigtail cap and closed foot. The cigars meant to be rustic and medium to full in bodied are crafted by hand from a blend of Nicaraguan filler tobaccos (a combination of Estelí and Jalapa), a Mexican binder from San Andrés and a wrapper leaf of Connecticut broadleaf grown in the open sunlight of the Connecticut River Valley. The big maduros come in boxes that resemble crates, with 50 cigars per box, divided into two paper-wrapped pyramids containing 25 cigars each. The cigars carry the name and image of "El Brujito," an ancient term meaning shaman or witch doctor to the people of Estelí, Nicaragua, where the cigars are made. The colorful box features a detachable lid with a notch, meant to be hung in a cigar store or your own cigar oasis.
First look is a rustic looking Connecticut broad leaf wrapper that's rough to the touch with generous tooth and a pig tailed cap. Pre light draw had slight resistance due to the closed foot with flavors of dried fruit, earth and slight spice on the lips. First light the draw opens up with with flavors of earth, bitter leather and a nice pepper nuance. The Nica Rustica has a chewy feel to it while the wrapper smolders with thick creamy white smoke that's become the signature of Drew Estate cigars. After cruise control burn flavors of cocoa and charred wood with the leather notes kicking up a notch blending perfectly with nuances of white pepper and rich earth. Final third the strength gears down from high to a consistent medium body with flavors of leather, muted cocoa, earth and slight spice but nothing like the pepper notes at cruise control that turned to more of a background spice. Construction was beautiful and rustic looking. The aforementioned wrapper smoldered with thick white smoke from start to finish, the ash held past the inch point but never broke pre maturely. The Nica Rustica has found its place of honor in the Drew Estate line up, it's appropriately priced and certainly lives up to the title of the every day cigar created by the innovative artisans at Drew Estate.

Liga Privada Unico Serie Ratzilla
Daily Smokes short review from Drew Estate the Unico Serie Ratzilla. The taste on this was nothing short of amazing, the wrapper is almost coffee ground dark glistening with an oily hue, and a pig tail cap that's typical of our barn yard friends I.E Flying Pigs, Dirty Rats, Feral Pigs and the UF-13. First light was full of pepper and sweet spice with a huge amount of smoke. After cruise control burn the spice stayed very consistent with the sweeter notes getting stronger, but not over powering. Nuances of black coffee, cedar and pepper were also present, along with light leather. No burn or draw issues the ash held long and tight. It's a flavor bomb just like its little brother the Dirty Rat but on a much more sophisticated and refined level and an absolute pleasure to smoke.
Size: 6 x 46
Wrapper: Stalk Cut Sun Grown Habano
Binder: Brazilian Mata-Fina
Filler: Dominican, Honduran, Nicaraguan
Lost Art Crystal Ashtrays from Drew Estate
The "Lost Art" collection of crystal ashtrays from Drew Estate pays tribute to the vintage designs of the past. Truly works of art they capture a spirit of the vintage age of tobacco from a time when the words of Thomas R. Marshal reined "What this country needs is a really good five-cent cigar". These two designs "Chief Broadleaf" and simply "The Moon" are two designs available at the Drew Estate Store via Drew Estate online and will add a touch of elegance to your man cave or Cigar Oasis either as a display item or fully functional ashtray.
Liga Privada Unicos UF-13
The Liga Privada Unicos UF-13 has a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Brazillian Mata Fina binder, Cuban Seed Nicaraguan and Honduran filler. UF stands for "Unico Fuerte" Big things come in small packages and this cigar is no exception. First light was a smooth easy draw that produced tons of smoke, typical from the Liga Privada line by Drew Estate. After cruise control burn sweet cedar and spice were present, half way point had hints of white pepper, earthy undertones and a sweetness that was present at first light pleasantly re appeared. The UF-13 was a complex cigar that was packed with full flavor from start to finish and an absolute pleasure to smoke.
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
Binder: Brazillian Mata Fina
Filler: Cuban seed Nicaraguan / Honduran

Get a 4GB CompactFlash card free after rebate
Adorama has a Kingston 4GB CF card for $40 with a $40 mail-in rebate, bringing your total cost to $5 (the price of shipping).
If you own a digital SLR camera or some other device that uses CompactFlash media, now's your chance to stock up on storage: Adorama has a 4GB Kingston CF card for $0 after a $40 mail-in rebate. Shipping runs $5.
Yeah, there's a rebate, but at least we're talking quality media here: Kingston is a top brand, and the company backs the cards with a lifetime warranty. Plus, the rebate itself is through Kingston, not Adorama, so it's probably a safe bet. If you're interested, don't wait: The rebate deal expires Friday (February 8), but I'll be surprised if the inventory lasts the day.

As you probably all saw, four new individuals were added to the Hockey Hall of Fame this week.
Adam Oates, Joe Sakic, Mats Sundin and Pavel Bure are the latest additions to the prestigious organization.
Of course, as is often the case, pundits have already begun making their selections for the 2013 inductees, including recently retired players such as Chris Chelios and Eric Lindros.
Who would you add in 2013?
Habs and Hockey News
- Fred Poulin takes a fantastic look at the 16 — yes, 16! — blueliners chosen before P.K Subban in 2007.
- Blake Geoffrion father, Danny, talks about his son's recent injury scare.
- Ken Campbell takes a look at the oft-underappreciated Adam Oates.
- According to Steve Fehr, three outstanding issues remain before a deal can be reached between the NHL and NHLPA. Stu Hackel takes a look at the subject of contract rights. Elsewhere, Ken Campbell argues that Donald Fehr's tactics are beginning to get in the owner's heads.
- Joe Sakic and Mats Sundin say they would love to see an NHL team back in Quebec City. Personally, I'd just love to see an NHL team again at this point.

Hampton, GA (September 2, 2012) – Entering the weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway, NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series had two more races left before the 2012 Chase field was to be set. For Matt Kenseth and his No. 17 team, they clinched a Chase berth in Sunday night's AdvoCare 500 and earned a top-ten finish with their Ford EcoBoost Fusion in the process.
Kenseth began the 325-lap event from the fourth starting position as the field took the green flag at 7:51 pm EST. By lap 15, Kenseth found himself starting to drop back into the line-up, and he radioed in to crew chief Jimmy Fennig that the No. 17 Ford was slow across the middle and loose off in the corners. Fennig and Kenseth discussed a few possible changes for the first pit stop of the night, but by lap 30, Kenseth had dipped down to 11th.
The first caution of the evening came on lap 39, and Kenseth once again reported into his team about the car's handling. Kenseth asked for more rear grip and that the center of the corners needed help as well. Fennig opted for four tires, fuel, wedge and air pressure adjustments on the stop, and Kenseth restarted in ninth.
The Ford EcoBoost Fusion maintained track position for the start of the run, but looseness in and off combined with tightness in the center, found Kenseth drop back to 12th. Kenseth told his team that the car's handling kept getting looser as the runs went on. The looseness on entry and exit seemed to be the biggest challenge for Kenseth at the time, and Fennig made adjustments to air pressure settings and made sure that the team did four-tire pit stops in order to give his driver as much help as they could at the time.
Despite the handling challenge, the No. 17 pit crew earned Kenseth positions coming off pit road which helped set him up on the restarts, but ultimately, the car's handling found the driver drop further back within the top ten. Even with the adjustments that the team serviced the Ford EcoBoost with, Kenseth told the team that the car kept getting worse, and was even loose on the gas on lap 220. Kenseth also told Fennig that he needed help with adjustments on the front end so that the nose of the car wouldn't slide around as much as it had been in the turns.
A caution on lap 242 allowed Fennig to make a sweeping round of changes to the No. 17 machine as the team pulled a shim, adjusted the air pressure and track bar settings, as well as serviced the car with four fresh tires and fuel. In the end, even though the changes helped Kenseth the most out of all the other adjustments, it wasn't enough to advance much further up on the charts. Kenseth finished ninth Sunday night after a late-race caution set up a green-white-checkered finish.
"There were times when we found the right balance, but we were just slow," Said Kenseth after the race. "We qualified well and raced about the same as we practiced. We were just way off on speed compared to the good guys tonight. The last four out of six weeks have been disastrous for us. Today, we got a good finish because we had really great pit stops and that's the only thing that saved us. We should have run back by Greg (Biffle) somewhere, but we just had good stops and hung on to the lead lap."
Denny Hamlin earned his second consecutive victory Sunday night after winning last week at Bristol. Hamlin held off Jeff Gordon on a green-white-checkered restart to earn the win in Sunday's AdvoCare 500. Hamlin's win at Atlanta was his fourth of the season, while Gordon went on to finish second. Brad Keselowski rounded out the top three finishers Sunday night and Kenseth finished ninth securing his place within the top ten heading into the Chase.
Next weekend, the Sprint Cup Series will travel to Richmond International Raceway for the Federated Auto Parts 400, and the final race to set the field for the 2012 Chase. Pre-race television coverage begins on Saturday, September 8th at 7:00 p.m. EST on ABC. Radio coverage will be provided by the Motor Racing Network (MRN.)

Feb. 20, 2014
ATHENS, Ga.-- The seventh-ranked Georgia women's tennis team is set to square off with Furman and No. 25 Georgia Tech this weekend. The Bulldogs will play host to the Paladins (3-2) on Friday at 2:30 p.m. and will travel to Atlanta on Sunday to take on the No. 25 Yellow Jackets (3-1) at 1 p.m. Georgia is returning from a 12-day break after competing at the 2014 ITA National Team Indoor Championships two weeks ago.
Live scoring and a live blog will be available for both matches on Georgiadogs.com.
Full Furman/Georgia Tech Notes Package
Match Points: The seventh-ranked Georgia women's tennis team is set to host Furman on Friday and then travel to Atlanta to battle with in-state rival Georgia Tech on Sunday. Friday's match will begin at 2:30 p.m. and first-serve of Sunday's bout will be at 1 p.m. Both matches are scheduled to be played outdoors and will feature the return of eight-game pro-sets in doubles and full third sets in singles.
The Opposition: The Bulldogs have won 16 in a row against the Paladins, with its only loss coming in Georgia's inagural season of 1974. Furman is riding a two-match winning streak with wins over Charlotte and UNC-Wilmington. Earlier this season, the Paladins fell to now No. 1 Duke and No. 33 South Carolina. Georgia Tech is also riding a two-match winning streak, most recently beating No. 27 Tennessee in Knoxville, 5-2. The Yellow Jackets' last win in the series came in 2010 in Atlanta. Their doubles pair of Kendal Woodard and Megan Kurey is the top-ranked team in the country and Kurey is Tech's lone-ranked singles player at No. 94.
Last Time Out: Georgia went 1-2 in its 24th appearance at the ITA National Indoor Championships. The Bulldogs shutout No. 9 Miami before falling in tight 4-3 matches to No. 8 Cal and No. 3 North Carolina. Maho Kowase went 3-0 on the weekend in singles and the doubles pairs of Herring/Kowase and Garcia/Fuller both went 2-0.
In the Rankings: The Georgia women's tennis team is No. 7 in the latest ITA rankings.
Georgia started the season ranked No. 4, marking the third consecutive season that the Bulldogs have started the season ranked in the Top-10.
The Bulldogs have four singles players and two doubles pairs in the latest individual rankings. Silvia Garcia and Lauren Herring are in the Top-10 at No. 6 and No. 7, respectively. Maho Kowase sits at No. 17 and Lilly Kimbell is No. 43.
In doubles, Herring and Kowase are ranked No. 5 while Kimbell and Mia King are No. 52.
The Georgia women's tennis program is the only in the SEC to have two singles players ranked in the Top Ten and is also the only school in the conference to have a doubles pair ranked in the Top Ten.
It's not just the women either...Georgia is one of eight schools to have both its women's and men's tennis programs currently ranked in the Top-15.
What's Next? The Bulldogs will kick off SEC action when they plays host to No. 27 Tennessee. The Bulldogs are 41-9 all-time against the Vols.
UGA Looking Forward to Full Third Sets: Much has been made about the ITA's experimental rules used during the indoor season. The rules shortened matches by shrinking doubles matches to just a six-game set and removing full third sets in singles matches to instead play a 10-point super tiebreak.
After a quick look at the numbers, it's easy to see why the Bulldogs are surely looking forward to the return of full third sets. Last season, the current Bulldogs won 75 percent of matches that went to a full third set. Over the course of each of their careers, the current Georgia squad wins nearly 70 percent of matches that go the full length.
Herring Named SEC Player of the Week: Two weeks ago, Georgia junior Lauren Herring garnered SEC Player of the Week honors for her play in Georgia's wins over No. 75 Elon and No. 51 Arkansas two weeks ago. On Friday against Elon, the Georgia junior shutout No. 69 Jordan Johnston, 6-0, 6-0. In Sunday's championship match, Herring topped No. 71 Yang Pang of Arkansas, 6-0, 6-3. In doubles, Herring and partner Maho Kowase were first off the court with a 6-1 win over Arkansas' Surin and Huxley.
Lights, Camera, Action! Georgia's March 30th match vs. Missouri will be carried live on ESPN3 as part of the USTA's College MatchDay program. In addition to the coverage, the USTA's 53-foot fan experience trailer will make a trip to Athens for the match.
A Look at the Schedule: The Bulldogs have six "guaranteed" non-conference matches, five which are against opponents ranked in the latest ITA rankings. So far, is 3-0 in those matches (No. 75 Elon, No. 51 Arkansas, and No. 13 Clemson) and added a win over No. 9 Miami (Fla.) at ITA National Team Indoors. After hosting unranked Furman, Georgia will travel to Atlanta to renew its annual rivalry with No. 25 Georgia Tech. In March, No. 14 Virginia will come to Athens for a midweek double-header with Georgia's men's team.
And that's just non-conference play. The Southeastern Conference is among the best in the country with six ranked teams, three of which (No. 5 Florida, No. 7 Georgia and No. 10 Texas A&M) are in the Top-10.
Familiar Faces: The 2013-14 Bulldog squad returns 87 percent of last season's singles wins and 83% of last season's doubles victories. It returns 98 percent of its ranked wins in both singles and doubles. Georgia will be led by three seniors in Kate Fuller, Lilly Kimbell and Maho Kowase. Junior Lauren Herring rounds out Georgia's upperclassmen.
It's a Family Affair: Georgia welcomes third-generation Bulldog Caroline Brinson to the team this spring. The New Orleans native's grandfather, Vernon Brinson, played baseball at Georgia from 1958-59, and her mother, the former Elizabeth Alexander, played tennis for Georgia from 1988-89, helping the Bulldogs to the SEC Championship in 1989. The New Orleans native is still finishing up her senior year high school requirements while jointly enrolled at UGA. Brinson and doubles partner Lilly Kimbell are 5-1. Officially, Brinson hasn't played a singles match, but she did beat Clemson's Joana Eidukonyte, 6-3, 6-1 in an exhibition singles match on Satuday.
Champions du Monde: In 2013, Lauren Herring was selected to be part of the United States' eighth annual Master'U team. The squad, which was made up of the best college players from around the country, represented the U.S. at the Master'U BNP Paribas, an international collegiate team competition held Nov. 29-Dec. 1 in Aix-en-Provence, France. Herring, along with her American comrades, went 3-0 en route to the American's fourth Master'U championship.
Where's Wallace: In 2013, head coach Jeff Wallace became one of just four women's tennis coaches to reach the 600-win mark. The winningest active coach in women's college tennis, Wallace ranks fourth on the all-time wins list. There's a complete list on page five of this notes package.
Wallace's excellence isn't just limited to the women's side as he is just one of six active collegiate tennis coaches (of men or women) to reach 600-win mark. He is also just the fifth coach in UGA's history to reach the 600-win mark (A. Landers, 920, L. Harris-Champer, 856, S. Yoculan, 834, D. Magill, 706).
NCAA Championships in Athens: The Dan Magill Tennis Complex will be the home of the NCAA Tennis Championships in May 2014 and 2017. It has played host to the men's NCAA Championships 24 times and the women's NCAA Championships three times, in addition to three combined tournaments for a total of 30, most recently in 2012. The women claimed the national title in 1994 and at home in 2000.
The Future is Bright: In addition to Brinson, head coach Jeff Wallace announced the signing of juniors tennis standouts Mariana Gould and Hannah King who will arrive on campus in the fall of 2014. Gould, a five-star blue chip recruit, is ranked No. 19 in the Class of 2014 according to TennisRecruiting.net, and has been ranked as high at No. 5 in her class's recruiting rankings. Gould's junior's career is highlighted by two doubles Gold Balls.
King has sported a Top-100 ITF ranking, and has been ranked in the top five in her recruiting class by Tennisrecruiting.net since her freshman year. She received a wild card into the U.S. Open Junior Championships qualifying this year and, in 2011, played in the main draw of the U.S. Open Junior Championships in both singles and doubles, along with being a finalist in multiple ITF events.

Northland Nature: A shrike lingers at the bird feederRecently another wintering bird came to mingle at the feeders. The bird was about the size of a blue jay with black wings and tail, a gray back, a white belly and a black mask. I was watching a northern shrike.
The weather this month so far has not always been winter-like. Temperatures have shown a huge variation, from 15- to 20 below as we began the month, to near 50 above just ten days later. Again, the average temperature for the first half of the month has been several degrees above normal.
Instead of the usual snowstorms closing schools, we had a shutdown due to ice. By mid-month, we had more precipitation in the form of rain than in snow. Looking back on December, I find it interesting to note that the average for the first half was about 23.5 degrees Fahrenheit, nearly nine degrees above the usual; but in the latter half, the mercury recorded only 12.7 degrees, about two degrees below the norm.
Mild temperatures with limited snow keep much of the local wildlife active. And in the small amount of snow that does coat the ground, I have found tracks of about twenty kinds of critters. A deeper snowpack and more frigid conditions would have limited many of them. But despite these weather conditions, I find that the bird feeders have remained very active, perhaps because feeding habits were established in the early winter of late December and are now being carried into the mid-winter.
Extreme conditions on either end do bring some changes, but even here, birds do show up. Subzero temperatures or snowy conditions seem to invite most to the feeders, while on mild days, fewer arrive, showing me that they really don't need these handouts to cope with winter.
Each day, I expect to see the regulars, seven kinds that are here mostly in the morning. These include the ubiquitous black-capped chickadees, white-breasted and red-breasted nuthatches and three kinds of woodpeckers: downy, hairy and red-bellied. Each of these six species is present only in small numbers. It is the seventh kind, the common redpoll, that appears in flocks.
The redpoll arrival began early this season, and by December, a few had come by. More discovered the seeds, and by late in the month, about forty were here. Two weeks ago, I counted a flock of eighty, and just a few days later, this group had grown to be an estimated one-hundred-fifty. Among these tiny common redpolls were a couple of the whiter and larger hoary redpolls. Blue jays and pine grosbeaks had earlier come by, but not recently; and though I've seen pileated woodpeckers often, they avoided the feeders.
Recently another wintering bird also came to mingle at the feeders. The bird was about the size of a blue jay with black wings and tail, a gray back, a white belly and a black mask.
I was watching a northern hhrike. Unlike the other feathered feeder-frequenters, the shrike flitted back and forth quickly and never did alight on the seeds: it had come to the feeder to try to feed on one of these smaller birds.
Shrikes are classified as songbirds, but with a sharp hooked beak, they take on the role of predator. It has a beak like a raptor, but not the talons on its feet. It needs to strike its prey fast and then take the victim and impale it on something sharp, such as a thorn of a tree or maybe barbed wire. Here, it uses its beak to dismember its prey and feed on it, being unable to do so with its feet. This feeding technique has earned this unusual predator the nickname of "butcher bird."
The one that came to our feeder scattered the small birds and appeared to come up empty-handed in its quest for food. It flew off. However, the next day it was back, and it seemed to stay around. Stranger still was the fact that the bird did land on the feeder. It returned several times to a section of the feeder that I could not see from where I was.
Since shrikes do not eat seeds, I decided to take a closer look. I went out and found out why it was going to the feeder: Here on the outer wall of a screened feeder, the shrike had placed its prey, a redpoll, and was in the process of feeding on the impaled bird. Apparently, the shrike had caught a redpoll and found the feeder to be an adequate site to store it.
The continuous presence of the shrike was keeping other birds away, so I removed its catch, allowing feeding to return to normal. The shrike has moved on and the feeders now hold only seeds and suet. But for a short time, a shrike had its own meals at the bird feeder.

Well said Dieselbuck!!!
There are so many posts here & I haven't had time to read them all, but did anyone mention that she was caught with other individuals who all admitted guilt and paid restitution. She refused!!! She was on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, I saw an article about her in jet magazine. My question is who is going to play her in the Lifetime movie? She's guilty as sin and is a liar!
bulljack1 - it could be a random shooting. You have a "family", husband, wife & children, hard working, driving decent automobiles in "the hood" Obviously some idiot thought there was more to this family - thinking they had money. 10 years ago I moved into a neighborhood and my son's vehicle was broken into twice. We had something called insurance so when he got it repaired, someone assumed we had money - which is why it was broken into again. Just sad - my prayers to the family.
I also think Beachwood Bob makes a good point. I have to be honest; if this were a few months ago I would definitely turn it in, but if it happened recently I would have mailed the wallet back, kept the cash for a week to see if my conscience would let me keep it. Car, garage door & furnace all broke within the same week. If I kept it I would convince myself that the person who lost it was a big time drug dealer and didn't deserve it anyway.
El Supremo - a little crude but correct. Used to ride years ago and ALWAYS wore a helmet.
Check the county docket for Leandre Warner. Obviously he has a beef with police officers. Hope the truth is revealed!
These checkpoints are a good idea but I never understood why they tell us in advance where they are. If I plan on drinking and driving, I would avoid that area.
I agree with hotmess. There are too many public websites available to do a small background check. As a single woman, the first thing I do is check Cuyahoga County records when I meet someone.
a0marie2 - I don't think anyone on this blog is condeming the mother in any way, shape or form. I'm only speaking for myself, but I think everyone is sickened by the story and is continuing to pray for her and the rest of her family. We don't like reading stories about single mothers whose children are killed and/or abused by "boyfriends" and want all young ladies to make better choices. This may or may not be the case with Ms. Smith as we don't know what went on in that house, but be careful with who you leave your children with. I also believe you know the family personally so I'm continuing to keep everyone in my prayers.
Channel 19 reported they just moved into the home and there was a reason why but I must have missed that part. I hope the mom didn't move to get away from Whitaker then change her mind. Shelley527 I agree with you. So sad. My prayers for the entire family.
"Ward then took the blindfolded victim to the shower and washed her with soap, then left with pillows, pillowcases, towels, washcloths, soap, lotion and $140, Miday said. Evidence remained on the bedding and matches Ward's DNA, Miday said." Not only is he a pig, but a stupid one!
I agree with monkie & gilbert!
The Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office is in the process of looking at cold cases in the hopes of being able to identify victims and the woman with the possible Cleveland connection was one of the cases selected.
I agree with you fightin4life. Someone knew something 8 years ago and still to this day.
Very insiring; maybe our sons and daughters will make this world a better place; a complete opposite of the way it was left to them.
Thanks grace111. Alanr wouldn't say people over-reacted if one of his loved ones needed assistance but everyone was too busy responding to "April Fools pranks".
She should be fired and prosecuted!!! I was drivng downtown when this happened and there were police cars, ambulances & fire trucks coming from every direction. What about real crimes that were happening and couldn't be responded to in a timely fashion because of this "prank". In this day and age you cannot play games like that.
Come on Hegel; you gotta be kidding. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. He should have thought about this before he murdered that poor man.
Al Sharpton should be more careful in his crusades. If I recall, Williams-Bolar was one in many who were targeted, others took responsibility, either paid or are in the process of paying restitution and Williams Bolar didn't so she should be punished. Many parents have used other addresses in the past, and more power to them if they got away with it. If caught, be prepared to be punished. She's lucky that's all the time she got.
Thoughts and prayers are with this family and I truely hope she pulls through. At one time Channel 8 said she passed away but didn't confirm it. I also agree with Watsonsr's comment about the real war being here.

Shawn confronts Carly, Patrick has Danny's test results, and Lulu sees Sonny and Carly having an intense moment.
Carly's explaining how she's related to Olivia to get information from GH when Shawn grabs and tosses her phone behind the bar at the Metro Court. He wants her to explain what she did. She doesn't like his tone and threatens to call security. He doesn't care if she calls the police, he's mad she dragged him into this mess. Carly might be in danger now that Sonny knows. Shawn's surprised he hasn't stopped by to kill her yet. She doesn't think Sonny is going to kill anyone. Shawn smugly advises she can keep telling herself that, but if Olivia dies, they won't need him to do it.
Patrick wonders if the reality lived up to the fantasy for Sabrina as they bask in the afterglow of their evening in his bed. Later, while getting ready for work Patrick is interrupted by a call that Danny's test results are in.
Franco bothers Alexis at Kelly's, complimenting her on how hot she looks sitting atop her high-horse. She asks him to go away but stops when he brags about surviving the latest attempt on his life. She questions him when he thinks Olivia got shot instead of him. Franco explains Sonny's in custody. She doesn't believe Sonny has anything to do with Olivia getting shot, but Franco suggests maybe one of his men did. Alexis reflects on Shawn's lies from last night. Diane approaches her and Alexis says Sam won't be in court because Danny has leukemia. Alexis leaves for GH. Franco is shocked, as is Diane that he even cares.
In the interrogation room, Anna's eager for Sonny to confess taking a hit out on Franco. She baits him with the PCPD's evidence and clues until Sonny throws a chair screaming, "It wasn't me." He wants to go be with Olivia. Anna's unable to rattle him and lets him go. She receives a call from Alexis and lets her know Sonny was released but doesn't have any answers for her regarding a shooter. Shawn arrives for questioning as she gets off the phone. Anna already has him pegged as the shooter since he has the skills. He reminds her that the shooter missed. Anna takes advantage of the situation and asks how it felt to watch the bullet hit Olivia. She reminds him he made things right for TJ after his friendly fire incident and asks how he will make it right for Olivia. She wants him to confess and make amends. Shawn has nothing else to say if she's not going to charge him. As he leaves, Anna tells him not to leave town.
At GH, Sam yells at Silas for trying to get Danny's medical information. He wants her to prepare herself and explains what they will be put through given what he believes is Danny's diagnosis of leukemia. He's sorry she doesn't like his bedside manner and promises not to hold her negativity against Danny if he ever has to care for him. Later, Patrick meets Sam and wants to wait for another doctor before giving her the news. When Alexis arrives Sam begs Patrick to tell her. He apologizes and confirms Danny's condition. She inquires about the treatments that Silas shared with her earlier to Patrick. Meanwhile, Lulu and Dante rally at Olivia's side. While she's unconscious, they try to figure out who would hate Franco enough to try to kill him in a public place. Lulu doesn't want Dante to feel Sonny could be the only suspect. Dante knows what his father is capable of and despite loving him promises to make sure Sonny's prosecuted if he had anything to do with this. Sonny overhears before entering the room. He says a prayer to Olivia before privately swearing to Dante he had nothing to do with this. Dante asks, "Then who did?" Sonny sees Carly peering in the room. He interrupts Dante and rushes after her. Dante becomes upset and Lulu decides to get the doctor. Meanwhile, the elevator doesn't come fast enough and Carly hears Sonny say, "I know what you did." Lulu arrives nearby in time to see Sonny tell Carly if Olivia dies, Carly dies. Shocked, Lulu apologizes and leaves them. Back in Olivia's room Lulu confirms seeing Sonny and shares something serious was going on between him and Carly.
Back at Kelly's Diane discusses Franco's case with him. He's not interested in getting a psych evaluation and might feel safer behind bars. Diane steps away when Silas arrives to change their court plans. He refuses and believes it's in Sam's best interest if he gets custody of Rafe.
Franco arrives at the hospital smugly announcing to Carly and Sonny, "The gang's all here." He wants to check on Olivia. Sonny threatens that he shouldn't take one step in her direction. Franco indicates he knows what they did, but promises his lips are sealed.

CHURUBUSCO — Both the principal and assistant principal of Churubusco Elementary School (CES) will resign at the end of the 2012-13 school year.
CES Principal Shellie Miller's and CES Assistant Principal Nicole Veit's resignations from their respective positions were accepted at the Monday meeting of the Smith-Green Community Schools Board of School Trustees.
"Together they made a really nice team," said SGCS Superintendent Galen Mast. "They complemented each other very well. Both were high-energy and very relational when it came to the students. It was very difficult for both of them to tell me and make that decision to leave Churubusco."
Miller and Veit will assume jobs as principals in other school districts for the 2013-14 school year. Miller will be working in the South Adams School District. Veit has been approved to become principal of Waterloo Elementary School in the DeKalb County Central United School District.
