The purpose of the exhibit is to make visible the problems of domestic violence in order to eliminate domestic murders by the year 2010.
Our exhibit here at Central Washington consists of 10 life-size silhouettes of women. These figures represent real Washington State people. A shield with one woman's story has been attached to each silhouette. The information includes the woman's name, age and date of death, where she lived, an account of how she was murdered and information about the outcome or legal status of the case. The silhouettes are made of plywood and painted red. Each has a stand so that they can be displayed together as a visual demonstration of the tragedy of domestic violence.
This exhibit is hosted at Central Washington University in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Twenty-five years ago, two lesbians were ordained under the auspices of London's Leo Baeck College: Rabbi Sheila Shulman and me. Until then, there was only one gay rabbi in Britain, Lio nel Blue. Since then, a further 12 LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) rabbis have received semichah from LBC, and four others, ordained elsewhere, have become part of the Progressive movement.

At 18 I had a nice Jewish boyfriend, but something wasn't quite right. I didn't really understand and my first thought was, "what's wrong with me?" But as time went on, I realised this was who I am.

Having a Jewish child come out can be a bewildering time for parents. Alison Walsh says the orthodox community should be providing more support for families.
Benjamin Kaye has one regret. He never assured an elderly relative of his that he was not alone and did not have to suffer in silence.
Mr Kaye's relative, like him, was gay. But he never said so. His generation rarely did and he died, aged 88, never having spoken of it.
Three years ago the internet was awash with pictures of two frum Jewish men under a chupah in New York, wearing white kittels. The headlines screamed that this was the first "Orthodox" gay wedding.
"Who doesn't like a hot salt-beef sandwich?" Allan Davis asked himself when creating a dating site for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Jews.
He created HotSaltBeef.com after noticing a gap in the market.
The location of the first same-sex Jewish marriage is still to be revealed five weeks before new legislation permitting gay or lesbian couples to wed comes into force.
Religious groups can apply from March 13 to hold same-sex marriages on their premises, with the first ceremonies in theory able to take place after midnight Saturday March 29.
A culturally sensitive and confidential support service for Jewish 16-21-year-olds who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender - or think that they might be - will be launched in spring.
It follows an in-depth survey conducted by the Jewish Gay and Lesbian Group (JGLG) to ascertain the wishes and concerns of young LGBTQs.

Fans of both the American and National Leagues swear their league is best. I obviously think the NL is better for a variety of reasons, most notably that the DH is absurd, and the average time of an American League game is something like 9 hours. Now, the DH is essentially a spot for fat guys, so you'd think I'd enjoy that, but even creating a roster spot specifically for fat dudes isn't as entertaining as watching Pedro Martinez swing a bat with a knowing smirk on his face. Also, fat guys fielding is a significant part of their fat guy charm. Finally, to make matters worse, AL baseball tends to center around the Yankees and the Red Sox, which would probably be the least interesting rivalry in the world if not for the great Bristol Palin-Meghan McCain throwdown.
But all kidding aside, currently, there's an interesting difference between the two leagues: the degree to which each leagues' contenders, intentionally or not, are built around a specific philosophy: Lots of frontline pitching in the NL, and tons of offense in the AL. The perception has always been this way, but the difference is really striking right now.
If you look at the three best teams in the National Leauge this season -- the Phillies, Braves, and Giants -- they are all being powered entirely by pitching. In fact, those are the three best pitching staffs in all of baseball by xFIP and FIP (all numbers from Fangraphs). Milwaukee, tied for the NL Central lead, is fourth in xFIP. Meanwhile, even St. Louis, tied with the Brewers, ranks a respectable No. 9. These teams, generally, aren't very good offensively, particularly the Braves, Giants and Phillies (though admittedly injuries and slumps for Buster Posey, Jason Heyward, Dan Uggla and Chase Utley have something do with this).
In the AL, the opposite story plays out. If you stopped the season today, Boston, Detroit, Texas and the Yankees would make the playoffs and those clubs don't pitch well. The best of the bunch is the Yankees, 12th in baseball and powered entirely by the amazing C.C. Sabbathia and the amazing C.C. Sabbathia's gut, followed the Rangers at 17, and the Red Sox and Tigers way down at 26 and 27, respectively. If you want to expand to five teams, add Cleveland, the next closest team to a playoff spot, which ranks 15th. Even Anaheim, another contender, who you'd think would have a good pitching staff with Jered Weaver and Dan Haren, ranks all the way at No. 14.
This isn't terribly surprising when you think about it: the Giants, Phillies and Braves were all clearly built on their pitching staffs. But it is an interesting trend. The Phillies gladly bailed on Jayson Werth in the offseason to sign Cliff Lee (a decision that now seems even more brilliant in retrospect). The Giants -- sans Buster Posey -- have one position player you could describe as good, Pablo Sandoval. Similarly, the Braves are built on a combination of very good starting pitching and tremendous relief pitching. The Brewers are the exception here, but if not for Zach Greinke's injury and some bad luck, their pitching would be even better. Plus their offense is skewed downward by giving play time to The Gomez, among others terrible players.
You simply can't make the same argument about most of the AL teams. The Yankees rotation is essentially put together as C.C. Sabbathia and whoever they can find. Can you even name a Detroit pitcher besides Justin Verlander and Rick Porcello? An Indians pitcher besides Justin Masterson? The Red Sox rotation is the best of the bunch on paper, until you remember that John Lackey is horrible at this point, and Clay Bucholz is relatively unproven, and injured for that matter. But those teams -- and particularly the Yankees and the Red Sox -- simply have no holes in their lineups, running out good hitter after good hitter (well, except Derek Jeter).
If you arbitrarily go back five years to 2006, you'll see the playoff teams's pitching success far more scattered by league. The AL playoff teams ranks by xFIP were: Twins (1), Tigers (11), Yankees (22) and Athletics (23) and the NL teams ranks were Dodgers (4) Mets (8), Padres (9), Cardinals (18), which is to say, certainly the NL pitched better, but not nearly to the degree we're seeing now.
I'm not sure how much this means, or whether it's pure coincidence that the NL teams we're talking about developed Cole Hamels, Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner, Tim Lincecum, Gallardo and Jaime Garcia, and that the AL teams -- most notably the Yankees -- have done nothing of the sort. Maybe it comes down to a fluke, Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay both ending up in Philly as opposed to one ending up in New York and one in Boston, as you'd generally expect. But it is, at the least, an interesting phenomena.

D-League Pre-Draft camp…..
The D-League is having a pre-draft camp this weekend in Los Angeles that's gathering up some news on the league web site.
The Erie BayHawks had two players invited to the 25-player elite camp in combo guard Maureece Rice and small forward Ivan Harris. In addition, former BayHawk forward Taj McCullough was also invited.
McCullough played most of the season for Fort Wayne last season after Erie released him.
Erie assistant Ben McDonald, who is from Long Beach, Calif., was scheduled to scout the three-day camp as well.
With NBA scouts in attendance, this should open up some doors for guys to get serious NBA looks in the upcoming summer league next month in Las Vegas.

Stratham Memorial School Principal Thomas Fosher is being asked to make additional reductions to his proposed 2013-14 operating budget. The $10,031,975 proposal represents an increase of $239,201, or about 2.44 percent. Projected warrant articles would bring the increase to 4.5 percent.
During Wednesday night's Stratham School Board meeting, the school's Budget Advisory Board asked Fosher to cut the total increase down to 3.5 percent. "Our feeling is that the total increase is too much," said board member Susan Canada.
However, one increase Fosher identified as justified is a $119,831 increase in computer equipment. This increase includes six new interactive Whiteboards, 100 Chromebook computers and 90 iPads.

The Biggest Blockbuster Trades in Sports History
With the NBA trade deadline upon us, we reminisce on some of the greatest trades that went down in sports history. Recently in the NFL, Brandon Marshall was shipped out by Miami to be reunited with Jay Cutler up in Chicago. And in the NBA Monta Ellis just got swapped with Andrew Bogut to play in Milwaukee, as we all await to see the fate of Dwight Howard in Orlando. However only time will tell if these acquisitions were good moves or terrible mistakes.
But what about the real blockbuster trades that have shaped franchises or catalyzed superstar careers? The ones that capture national headlines and have fanbases either in tears or rejoicing. Kevin Garnett to Boston ultimately led to a Celtic championship and John Elway to the Denver Broncos was the beginning of a dynasty. Some teams are only a trade away from a title and some players are just one shot away from greatness.

MLB: Cliff Lee Makes Way For Roy Halladay
Cliff Lee was sent to Philadelphia by way of a five-year, $120 million deal after spurning bigger offers from the Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees. As much of a win as it was for the Phillies, Lee's signing was also a do-over of sorts for GM Ruben Amaro Jr., who, about a year prior, had dealt away Lee to the Seattle Mariners after trading half the team's farm system to Toronto for Roy Halladay. All in all, the 2009 trade that brought Halladay to the City of Brotherly Love and landed Lee in the Pacific Northwest was one of the biggest the baseball world has ever seen, with two Cy Young winners at the top of their respective games making their way around the league through a team, the Phillies, coming off two consecutive trips to the World Series.
NFL:Eli Manning and Philip Rivers Swap Coasts Before Their First Snaps
Draft day trades tend to be among the most significant in major professional sports, and few have impacted the franchises involved quite like that which saw the San Diego Chargers and the New York Giants swapping Eli Manning for Philip Rivers during the 2004 NFL Draft. Ole Miss quarterback Eli Manning (and his father Archie) had allegedly publicly expressed displeasure with the possibility of playing for a Chargers franchise that, at the time, was down in the dumps and already had Drew Brees at quarterback, wanting instead to play in a big market for a "big time" team. Manning's disposition put San Diego in an awkward spot, though GM A.J. Smith eventually found a viable trade partner in Big Blue, which selected NC State's Philip Rivers with the fourth-overall pick and swapped him to southern California for Manning, whom the Bolts took with the top pick. Since then, Rivers has easily been the better of the two quarterbacks on the field, though Manning's 2008 Super Bowl ring would seemingly pull him much closer to even with Rivers overall.
Premier League: Zlatan Ibrahimovich and Samuel Eto'o Transfer Teams
In the world of international soccer, players aren't traded; they're transferred. Regardless of what it's called, the deal that sent Samuel Eto'o to Inter Milan of Italy's Serie A in exchange for Barcelona's Zlatan Ibrahimovich in July of 2009 was monumental. The swap was not only massive in economic terms, but also deeply intriguing, with the big-headed Eto'o apparently forcing Barca's hand in taking back a player who many would argue was markedly inferior. It's also tough to deny that Inter came out on top in this one, winning the Treble (domestic league, European and Champions League titles) in 2010 under the guidance of Jose Mourinho, known modestly as "The Special One."
NFL: Clinton Portis and Champ Bailey Change Helmets
From international football to American football, NFL Pro Bowlers don't just swap jerseys every day, which is partly what made the 2004 transaction between the Denver Broncos and the Washington Redskins so noteworthy. In it, Mike Shanahan and the Broncos sent running back Clinton Portis to the Redskins for shutdown corner Champ Bailey. Once in Washington, Portis received a shiny new eight-year, $50.5 million deal with the 'Skins. All of this, despite Portis having only been in the league for two years and Bailey at the time being recognized as the best cover corner in the game. Then again, the fact that both of the principle players involved were just entering their respective football primes is what made this trade so unique.
NHL: Joe Thornton To The San Jose Sharks
Few players in the NHL strike more fear in the hearts of defensemen than Joe Thornton. The All-Star center, often referred to as "Jumbo Joe," was all over the hockey headlines in December 2005, when the Boston Bruins shipped him off to San Jose for Marco Sturm, Brad Stewart and Wayne Primeau. Thornton's departure was a huge blow to the Bruins and a welcome addition to the Sharks, as he instantly gelled with team captain Jonathan Cheechoo and went on to win both the Art Ross Trophy, for leading the league in total points, and the Hart Memorial Trophy, awarded each year to the NHL's MVP. Though Thornton has yet to guide San Jose to the Stanley Cup, he has managed to almost single-handedly keep the Sharks in playoff contention each year since he arrived.
NBA: Wilt Chamberlain to The Los Angeles Lakers
League MVPs don't tend to move from team to team, especially via trade. And especially after winning the award during the season prior. But that's exactly what happened when the Philadelphia 76ers sent Wilt Chamberlain to the Los Angeles Lakers in July 1968. That trade saw the Lakers, then owned by Canadian sports entrepreneur Jack Kent Cooke, send Jerry Chambers, Archie Clark and Darrall Imhoff, against whom Wilt had his 100-point game, to Philadelphia to form one of the league's greatest "Big Threes" with Elgin Baylor and Jerry West. Though "Wilt the Stilt" was never quite as dominant in LA as he had been in Philadelphia and San Francisco, he did help to bring the Purple and Gold a title in 1972, their first since moving from Minneapolis.
NBA: Dr. J to The Philadelphia 76ers
Wilt is far from the only big-name player to be involved in an exchange with the Sixers. Look no further than Julius Erving, better known to most casual basketball fans as "Dr. J." Erving came to Philadelphia in 1976, when New York Nets owner Ray Boe sold his contract to the 76ers for $3 million, amid mounting pressure from the Knicks to pay $4.8 million for "invading" the New York market and from Erving himself, who was displeased with Boe's decision to not give him a raise in light of the aforementioned developments. Dr. J went on to become an all-time great in the NBA for the Sixers, leading the team to the league championship in 1983 while ushering the modern era of basketball as a game for high-fliers.
NFL: Eric Dickerson to The Indianapolis Colts
American football and world football may be different games entirely, but both are privy to seeing players moved at the top of their game. Just three years removed from his all-time best 2,105-yard rushing season, Hall-of-Fame running back Eric Dickerson had his bags packed and was on his way from the Los Angeles Rams to the Indianapolis Colts during the 1987 season in a three-team deal that also included the Buffalo Bills, making it one of the biggest deal in NBA history. Dickerson went on to put up three 1,000-yard seasons in Indy while crossing the 10,000-yard mark for his career while with the Colts, becoming the seventh player and fastest ever to cross that threshold.
NFL: Marshall Faulk to The St. Louis Rams
The Eric Dickerson trade was neither the first mammoth deal between the Colts and Rams nor the last. Twelve years after Dickerson came to Indianapolis, Marshall Faulk was on his way out, as Colts president Bill Polian sent him to St. Louis for two draft picks after Faulk allegedly became something of a club house cancer amid testy contractual negotiations. The Rams awarded Faulk a seven-year, $45.2-million deal upon arrival, which quickly paid off as Faulk became the focal point of St. Louis' historic "Greatest Show on Turf." And while the Colts didn't miss Faulk too much after drafting Edgerrin James, the Rams clearly won out, with a win in Super Bowl XXXIV and a trip to Super Bowl XXXVI to show for their acquisition of arguably the greatest receiving back of all time.
NBA: Shaquille O'Neal To The Miami Heat
Faulk's feud with Colts management was a mere blip compared to the long-time tiff between Los Angeles Lakers teammates Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, which eventually led to Shaq being shipped to South Beach. In that deal in July 2004, the Miami Heat sent Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant and a first-round draft pick to LA for the three-time NBA champion, who promptly teamed with Dwyane Wade to earn his fourth ring, and coach Pat Riley's fifth, in 2006. And while it's incredibly difficult for a team to recover from such a devastating departure, the Lakers have since gone on to win two more titles without Shaq, thanks in large part to Odom's presence off the bench.
NBA: Kevin Garnett to The Boston Celtics
Just a year after Shaq brought the Larry O'Brien trophy to South Florida, Kevin Garnett found his way to the Eastern Conference when Celtics GM Danny Ainge brought the Big Ticket from Minneapolis to Boston in a trade that instantly changed the NBA landscape. The C's sent seven players–Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Sebastian Telfair, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff and two draft picks–to the T'Wolves for KG, making it the most disparate deal in NBA history in terms of the number of players exchanged for one. As the anchor of Boston's defense alongside franchise stalwart Paul Pierce and fellow new arrival Ray Allen, Garnett transformed the Celtics into instant title contenders, bringing the franchise its 17th championship, the most of any NBA club.
Premier League: Cristiano Ronaldo To Real Madrid
Given a few years, the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United to Real Madrid may work its way into the top five biggest "trades" in sports history. Aside from being the most expensive transfer in the history of international football, costing Real 80 million pounds sterling in fees, the deal involved two of Europe's richest, most respected and most storied clubs exchanging a player who practically swept the biggest individual awards in 2008 and who is a member of one of Portugal's royal orders. Oh, and his arrival at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid was attended by 80,000 rabid fans. The one knock against the trade thus far is that Cristiano has yet to lead Real to a major title, though, with Jose Mourinho at the helm, Kaka and Xabi Alonso in the midfield, Karim Benzema up front and Iker Casillas in goal, that issue should be corrected sooner rather than later.
NFL: John Elway to The Denver Broncos
Cristiano Ronaldo would be lucky if his legacy in Madrid were to ever come close to that of John Elway in Denver. Like Eli Manning 21 years later, Elway was taken first overall in the 1983 NFL Draft, but threatened to play professional baseball if the Baltimore Colts, who owned the pick, didn't trade him elsewhere. As such, the Colts traded Elway to the Broncos, with whom he had a legendary career, with highlights like "The Drive" and a showdown with Joe Montana in Super Bowl XXIV, capped by back-to-back Super Bowl wins in 1998 and 1999. For those accomplishments, Elway will forever be a football god in Denver and the face of the Broncos franchise.
NFL: The Herschel Walker Trade
HWT, otherwise known as the Herschel Walker Trade, was arguably the most consequential deal in NFL history, at least among those involving players and draft picks. And, boy, were there plenty of those involved. To get the two-time All-Pro and former USFL star, the Minnesota Vikings sent five players and six draft picks to the Dallas Cowboys in a trade that is as much praised in Texas as the reason for the rise of the Cowboys as it is reviled in Minnesota for the demise of the Vikings. Most notably, the Cowboys turned one of those picks into Emmitt Smith, who, along with Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin, helped build Dallas into a dynasty in the 1990s on the way to becoming the NFL's all-time leading rusher.
NHL: Wayne Gretzky Traded To LA
While the HWT forever changed the future of two teams, "The Trade", as it's known, changed the tenor of an entire league. In the offseason after leading the Edmonton Oilers to the Stanley Cup championship for the fourth time in his ten years with the team, Wayne Gretzky was traded, with Marty McSorley and Mike Krushelnyski, to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Martin Gelinas, Jimmy Carson, three draft picks and $15 million. North of the border, the move resulted in a national uproar, with some in the national government calling for it to be blocked by law and people all over Canada calling Gretzky a traitor for allegedly forcing a trade to benefit his wife's acting career. Back in the US, the arrival of "The Great One" in LA signaled a shift change in the NHL, with the league awarding teams to two more cities in California–Anaheim and San Jose–while seeing several other franchises in Canada and the Northeast move their operations to the Sun Belt. Thus, even though Gretzky never brought a title to LA, despite coming close in 1990, his move literally expanded hockey from a regional pastime to a sport with national appeal in the US.
MLB: Babe Ruth to The New York Yankees
Is there any move more infamous in American sports than the one that brought "The Babe" to New York? On Dec. 26, 1919, a day that will forever live in infamy in Boston, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold George Herman Ruth Jr. to the then-abysmal New York Yankees for cash. Some say Frazee made the deal to fund his other business ventures, namely the staging of No, No, Nanette on Broadway. Others contend that Frazee sold the "Sultan of Swat" after Ruth demanded that Frazee double his salary. Either way, Ruth went on to win four World Series titles in New York after earning three with the Red Sox. He became the most iconic athlete in the history of American sports, casting a curse on Boston that lasted until 2004.

text: SHRM Calls for Flexible, Voluntary Federal Policy on Paid Leave 6/11/2009 Permissions SHRM Calls for Flexible, Voluntary Federal Policy on Paid Leave SHRM COO Outlines Problems with Healthy Families Act and Other Mandates in House Testimony Alexandria, Va. – In testimony today before the House Education and Labor Subcommittee on Workforce Protections, China Miner Gorman, Chief Operating Officer of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), urged Congress to consider an approach to policies governing workplace leave that reflect the needs of today's more mobile, diverse and flexible 21st Century workforce. In her testimony, Gorman reiterated SHRM's call for incentives to encourage employers to adopt paid leave plans, and was critical of attempts to impose one-size-fits-all paid leave mandates on employers, as embodied in H.R. 2460, the "Healthy Families Act." "We believe Congress should seek ways to offer incentives for employers to do more – not risk the unintended consequences of an onerous government mandate that could very well result in decreased benefits and fewer new jobs," stated Gorman. "Employers want predictability and employees want flexibility in their paid leave plans," Gorman continued. "Government mandates can be counterproductive, as seemingly simple and well-intentioned statutes result in hundreds of pages of rules that can work against flexibility for employees." As an example, Gorman cited the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, and the fact that HR professionals have struggled to interpret various provisions of the law. What began as a fairly simple 12-page document has turned into 200 pages of rigid government regulations. SHRM's alternative approach – a 21st Century workplace flexibility policy – would for the first time respond to the diverse needs of employees and employers, and reflect different work environments, union representation, industries and organizational size. SHRM recently outlined a series of principles to guide the development of a federal policy on workplace flexibility that would: Encourage employers to offer uniform and coordinated paid leave; Create administrative and compliance incentives for employers who meet the leave standard; Provide certainty, predictability and accountability for employers and employees; and Allow for different work environments, industries and organizational size.

Dancer Julianne Hough gets candid with Cosmopolitan magazine for their February cover story and speaks about child hood abuse.
Two-time "Dancing with the Stars" winner Julianne Hough, 24, recently interviewed with Cosmopolitan and admitted to have been abused as a child while training to become a world-class dancer. The abuse happened while she was in London at the prestigious Italia Conti Academy of Arts.
"I was 10-years-old looking like I was 28, being a very sensual dancer. I was a tormented little kid who had to put on this sexy facade because that was my job and my life. But my heart was the same, and I was this innocent little girl. I wanted so much love."
Hough said the abuse became worse when she started hitting puberty. "When I started becoming a woman and stopped being a little girl. This is the farthest I've ever gotten into [discussing] my London situation. I was told if I ever went back to the United States, three things were going to happen. One: I was going to amount to nothing. Two: I was going to work at Whataburger. And three: I was going to end up a slut. So, it was like, I can't go back. I have to be this person."
When asked about her abuser, Hough declined to disclose…only stating:
"I'm a very forgiving person, and I don't want to hurt anybody, what's past is past."
For more of Julianne's interview with Cosmopolitan pick up the new issue on newsstands Jan. 8.

A Perfect Halloween Eve
Perfect evening. Outside, the fog settles in a gentle mist on the dark mountains; KittyKitty is happy to be inside. A quick, easy dinner is on the menu: baked Panko-crusted chicken thighs enlivened with BeaZell's new Cajun spice, and spinach-and-cheese-filled ravioli topped with a freshly made Romanesco sauce.
We enjoy roasted red peppers in many ways, whenever possible. Tonight, a jar of roasted peppers, some olive oil, onion, garlic, basil and parsley and a little grated Parmesan come together for a simple but topping for the ravioli. The wine? A simple but excellent pairing with the sauce: Periquita, from Portugal. We discovered this food-friendly red wine during our years in Connecticut, and drank it often and with a variety of foods.
And, as if Sirius Classic Rock knew I was listening, dinner was accompanied by Gordon Lightfoot, Cat Stevens, Carol King and YES......Don McLean, singing Vincent! Truly a perfect evening.

Liesel Pritzker Simmons, American heiress, studies a big blue vat of human fecal matter, pulled from Accra's septic tanks and the communal bathrooms that slum-dwellers in Ghana's capital pay to use. Floating plastic wrap, bottles and unidentifiable chunks of trash just add to the fetid stew. She then gestures to a nearby oceanside cliff with an ill-chosen name, Lavender Hill, where the scene is even worse, as an orange dump truck discharges sludge into the sea. This occurrence, repeated 150 times each day, creates a brown slime trail large enough to show up on Google's satellite maps, just beyond a fleet of fishermen in colorful wooden boats dropping their nets.
Through Pritzker Simmons' eyes, there's waste in this waste. "You've got someone that's here for two years, and they need to spend $30 million and so they'll do it," she says, her voice rising with irritation. "And then they get their new post." She's talking about a wastewater treatment facility a few hundred yards behind us that was designed by the Dutch, funded by the U.K. and Ghana and opened in 2000–only to shut about three years later when something went wrong. Goat and sheepherders now squat on the land surrounding the dormant facility, adding an ironic layer of animal waste around this failed solution.
But Pritzker Simmons hasn't come to Ghana to roll her eyes at well-intended folly. She's here to check in on the economic opportunities such aid debacles have created. Last year the 29-year-old and her husband, Ian Simmons, 38, invested $150,000 in Waste Enterprisers, a startup that dries out human fecal sludge and turns it into a burnable fuel. The little company, with seven employees, has recently gotten some traction and is negotiating a contract to provide 2% of French concretemaker Lafarge's fuel needs in Mombasa, Kenya.
With sanitation as the building block for public health, toilet talk has become popular among philanthropists and social entrepreneurs, led by the Gates Foundation's Reinvent the Toilet Challenge and John Kluge Jr.'s Toilet Hack-a-Thons. Impact investing is even trendier, as billionaires like Pierre and Pam Omidyar and Jeff Skoll (see p. 54) direct hundreds of millions toward for-profit investments that carry the twin goal of public benefit, and do-gooders like Jacqueline Novogratz and Willy Foote run funds that act similarly.
What makes Pritzker Simmons' effort notable is the absolutism with which she's pursuing it. She has earmarked $50 million of her total fortune–which FORBES estimates at $600 million, stemming from the $500 million windfall inheritance she received a decade ago, along with assets from her husband, a blue-blooded heir to the family that built locks on the Erie Canal, cofounded department-store chain Montgomery Ward and helped take insurance broker Marsh & McLennan public–toward venture investments in for-profit social startups. These include companies like Karibu Homes, an affordable housing developer in Nairobi, and EcoPost, a nascent Kenyan company that turns plastic into fence posts. And while the rest of that stash is invested passively, every cent, no matter the asset class, is being re?allocated through the often criticized prism known as socially responsible investing (they prefer to call it values-aligned investing). They have aligned 83% of their fixed-income assets and 50% of their equities so far, and expect to be fully in compliance with their own values (the expected gamut of fair trade, sustainable and fossil-fuel-free companies) by 2018.
"To me it's either you're pregnant or you're not," she says. "You can't be 'a little bit.' " With a 60-year time horizon and a grubstake that exceeds half a billion, Pritzker Simmons is fully pregnant with the purest case study ever on the efficacy of conscience-driven investing.
LIESEL PRITZKER WAS FAMOUS twice over while still in her teens, and unlike better-known members of her generation of trust fund babies, it had nothing to do with embarrassing arrests or sex videos. "When I talk with other peers of mine who are also inheriting wealth," she says, "one of the best things that ever happened was Paris Hilton's shenanigans."
Act One for Pritzker was as a child actress. Discovered as a 9-year-old in a local Chicago production of To Kill a Mockingbird, she played to type in Hollywood, most notably as the title character in the 1995 remake of the classic film A Little Princess and as First Daughter to Harrison Ford's president in 1997′s Air Force One. Ford compared her to a young Jodie Foster ("Liesel is just so real, it's like a breath of fresh air"), and with her wide blue eyes and cherubic face, she still looks the ingenue.
After graduating from Chicago's New Trier High School, she attended Columbia with the idea that she could continue her acting career from New York. But as a freshman African history major she gained far more renown for a single act: a lawsuit. Over the previous century the descendants of Russian émigré Nicolas Pritzker had created one of America's iconic family empires, which grew exponentially thanks to Liesel's uncle Jay, a charismatic dealmaker who bought the family's first Hyatt hotel, and her father, Robert, a quiet engineer who proved a genius at turning around companies under the banner of the clan's Marmon Group holding company. By the time Liesel was born the family empire had grown to 65-plus manufacturing companies and 117 hotels and the family fortune to some $1.5 billion. Today 11 different Pritzkers appear on The Forbes 400.
Liesel's mother, Irene, who became Robert Pritzker's second wife after meeting him while working for a Hyatt hotel in Australia, filed for divorce in 1989 after nine years of marriage. If court documents are any indication, the couple's children–Liesel and her older brother, Matthew–became the subject of bitter quarreling. Irene got primary custody of the children, and Liesel and Matthew found themselves spending less time with the extended Pritzker clan. Meanwhile, Robert began to tinker with his children's trusts. Controversially, Robert donated each of the children's shares in the family holding company–which included Hyatt–to the family foundation, and the children's trusts got promissory notes; the shares were bought soon after at 600 times their stated value by the family holding company. Six years later, when the family cousins secretly hammered out a plan for divvying up the fortune, Liesel and her brother were left out.
So in 2002 Liesel sued her father and the Pritzker family. "This is not about cash," the heiress told FORBES in 2003, her only interview about the case–and the last time she talked to the press until now. "It's not like I think if we win, it'll be: 'Buy the Bentley! Bling bling!' " She added: " I filed because I wanted to know what happened. It's going to be tricky, and it will take a long time. But I just need to know what happened."
Her brother eventually joined the suit, and the very private Pritzker clan suddenly found themselves publicly exposed, salacious details and all. The case's settlement began the dissemination of the family fortune, which had been monolithically managed like a sort of limited partnership. Liesel and her brother received payouts of about $500 million each, but sudden access to a half-billion came at a cost: Pritzker, uncomfortable with the notoriety, took leave from Columbia in search of a place where no one would know her name or face.
She wound up in Dharamshala, in northern India. "When you go someplace where you're completely foreign to anybody, you're just there," she says. "You're seen for who you are and not for all of the Googling behind you, so to speak." She'd never seen anything like it: the poverty, the masses of people, the bright colors and pungent smells. She volunteered, first with nursery school children and then as an instructor in a program that rehabilitated heroin addicts through–yoga. "Little white girl going over and teaching yoga in India?" Yes, she shrugs, a total cliché.
It was also a turning point. On her first day as a yogi the drug addicts rolled their eyes. Pritzker responded by placing her knees on her elbows and lifting her feet into the air, balanced in a perfect crow position. "If you can do that, I'll go away," she told them. They couldn't, of course. So she worked with them every day, focusing predominantly on breathing–a tool they could use outside class to calm themselves. It was the first time, she says, she realized, "Maybe I had something to offer–besides just my money."
From there she went to Tanzania, where she spent her days attempting to do data entry for a poorly equipped microfinance office, punching in numbers on a donated computer. Most of the time, though, she struggled even to turn the computer on due to the building's spotty electricity. It was a front-row view of the problems and promise of investing in the developing world.
By the time Pritzker returned to New York three and a half months later, acting had lost its appeal. She enrolled in cooking school and picked up her classes at Columbia. Eventually, though, she decided to create her own education. In 2008 she gave her mother $50 million to start a foundation (separate from the $50 million now going to impact investing), which quickly focused its efforts on education. "She was always incredibly aware of the fact that 'There but for the grace of God go I,' " says Irene Pritzker. Her mother, in turn, hired her daughter/benefactor to be her number two. " You're not just pleasing or disappointing your boss, you're pleasing and disappointing your mother," the daughter says. Here Pritzker Simmons has been content to experiment and learn. The heiress' first project: a pilot program designed to marry financial literacy and microloans at a group of low-cost private schools in Ghana.
The metamorphosis was complete: The lawsuit that had scarred her had effectively reinvented her, too. And the huge cash pile that lawsuit generated was about to be put to work.
WHEN MORAL CRITERIA ARE a consideration for an investment, due diligence isn't as easy as thumbing through a prospectus, something I'm reminded of as I bump along with Pritzker Simmons and her husband over dirt roads several hours north of Accra. Iggy Bassi, a former dealmaker at Broadview, a boutique M&A shop in the U.K., is trying to get the Simmonses to put money into Gadco, a large-scale rice producer and processor that buys from local farmers.
Novogratz's Acumen Fund has already invested $1.8 million, but the Simmonses thought this round's valuations were too high (Bassi is now proposing $34 million). So Bassi pulls out all the stops for our tour, visiting a group of grateful farmers–one clad in a white T-shirt and bare feet, another wearing a blazer–who all hold their harvest income statements and describe with glee how they'll spend their increased profits. Bassi insists that their sudden appearance isn't preplanned; Pritzker Simmons looks unconvinced. It's only when Bassi goes off on a tangent about the need for big banks to back up pioneer investors like the Simmonses that she really lights up.
"Well, exactly," she responds. "They're the ones who are going to move the needle on this." Bassi has unwittingly touched on the heart of her long-term mission in Africa: By popping big returns on her $50 million impact fund, she intends to prove the concept for the larger gatekeepers of capital. "How do you demonstrate that you can actually allocate a portfolio to this–diversified, risk-adjusted meets liquidity needs? You've got to demonstrate it! And that's one thing, as a family office, that we're trying to do."
Liesel takes the term "family office" very literally. Mother Irene still runs the IDP Foundation, first named for her initials and since reinterpreted as Innovation, Development, Progress, though Liesel intends to eventually assume management control there (though timing is up to her mom). Separately, Liesel and husband Ian work together nearly full-time on their international investments (under the banner of Blue Haven Initiative, their joint family office). The two met at a conference for global philanthropists; months later he became quite taken by her derring-do. "She knows you learn by doing and can't get all wrapped up in high theory or a sense of total purity before acting in the world," says Simmons, a Harvard grad who, through his own foundation, focused on democracy-building, buying an old house in Harvard Square to shelter like-minded nonprofits. The couple is aided in their decision making by Jed Emerson, who counsels high-net-worth families, and Stefan Hofmann, an independent Swiss advisor.
With just $4 million put to work so far, Pritzker Simmons expects that it will take five years to place that first $50 million. From there she expects to go much further. Their goal, she says, is to be transparent with their portfolio–the couple is still sorting out exactly how that will work–to show the many skeptics that investing for a social return, as well as a financial one, can be just as, or more, lucrative. And that a hotel heiress need not make a sex video to gain attention.
"I didn't earn this money," she says. "And I'll be damned if I'm going to screw it up!"

Microsoft recently released their latest operating system, Windows 8 and their Surface RT tablet. Now, in a rather shocking executive shake-up, Windows head Steven Sinofsky has left Microsoft to dwell in new opportunities.
Steven Sinofsky was the head of Windows Software and recently unveiled Windows 8 at the official launch event. Why the sudden departure then? Well, according to a letter from Steven to Microsoft employees, it was strictly a personal choice. Here's an excerpt from his letter, which was apparently typed on a Surface RT.
After more than 23 years working on a wide range of Microsoft products, I have decided to leave the company to seek new opportunities that build on these experiences. My passion for building products is as strong as ever and I look forward focusing my energy and creativity along similar lines.
Some might notice a bit of chatter speculating about this decision or timing. I can assure you that none could be true as this was a personal and private choice that in no way reflects any speculation or theories one might read-about me, opportunity, the company or its leadership.
Julie Larson-Green will be taking over Windows Software development immediately. Current CFO Tami Reller will take care of the Windows business. Sinofsky did an exceptional job with delivering Windows products to the market, especially with the Windows 7 and Windows 8 launch. Hence, it is a little weird that he left the company less than 1 month after the launch of Windows 8.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer stated in the Press Release, that "I am grateful for the many years of work that Steven has contributed to the company,". He too expressed his words in a letter, which can be read below.
Over the past few months we have delivered the foundation for a new era for Microsoft. From Office to Bing to Windows Phone and Windows Azure, to Xbox and of course Windows and Surface and everything in between, we've unleashed a huge wave of devices and services that people and businesses love. I simply couldn't be more proud of the effort you have all put in to get us here and to set the foundation for our future. At the Windows launch in New York, at the Windows Phone event in San Francisco, and again at the Build event on Redmond campus, I was struck that while externally many people look at these events as the finish line, they really represent the starting line of a new era.
As we enter this new era, and with the successful launch of Windows 8 and Surface behind us, Steven Sinofsky has decided to leave the company. Steven joined Microsoft in 1989 as a software development engineer and has contributed to the company in many ways from his work as a technical advisor to Bill Gates, to leading the evolution of the Microsoft Office business, to his direction and successful leadership of Windows and Windows Live as well as Surface. I am grateful for the work that Steven has delivered in his time at our company. Effective immediately, Julie Larson-Green will lead Windows engineering. She will be responsible for all product development for Windows and Windows Live, in addition to Surface. Julie has been a stalwart leader of building compelling "experiences" from her time on Internet Explorer, through the evolution of Office and most recently to the re-imagination of Windows. Her unique product and innovation perspective and proven ability to effectively collaborate and drive a cross company agenda will serve us well as she takes on this new leadership role. All of the current Windows engineering teams will report into Julie, and Julie will report to me.
Tami Reller will lead business and marketing strategy for Windows including Surface and partner devices. She will provide broad stewardship to our PC marketing efforts while managing the line business functions for Windows. Her work on Windows since 2007 has been exemplary and her strong talents in working with internal groups and partners will also serve us well. Tami also will report to me.
We are facing a time of great opportunity. What we have accomplished over the past few years is nothing short of amazing, and I know we have more amazing in us. I am excited about our people, I am energized by our ability to change and grow, and I look forward to the success which lies ahead. Thank you for all you do, and please join me in congratulating our new leadership and celebrating all that we have accomplished so far.
The changes are effective immediately and both Julie Larson-Green and Tami Reller will be reporting directly to CEO Steve Ballmer. It is also being reported that Steven wasn't liked very much within Microsoft. This is probably for using the Surface RT as a Skateboard. What do you think of this shake up? Read the complete Press Release over here.

According to E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post, "a new Obama — or, in many ways, the old Obama of 2008 — is about to reappear."
Into a phone booth Mr. Obama enters and out comes the Man of Steel.
According to Dionne, "The president's speech last Thursday in Holland, Mich., was the first sign that the competitive Obama is reemerging. His target, like Harry Truman's in 1948, was an obstructionist Republican Congress. He condemned 'the refusal of some folks in Congress to put the country ahead of party' and urged that it 'start passing some bills that we all know will help our economy right now.'" (Set aside the fact that if a Republican had uttered these same words about Democrats, Dionne would be livid, saying that the GOP president was acting in a disgraceful manner by accusing his opponents of being "unpatriotic.")
"With Obama," Dionne goes on, "there is always the danger of a relapse into the passive, we're-all-reasonable-people style. The fighting Obama has briefly appeared before, only to go back into hibernation. This time, the evidence suggests he'll stick with it — and, in truth, he has no other choice."
Dionne is among the fiercely loyal Obama supporters who believe that the president's problems mostly have to do with communications, with optics, with theatrics. Mr. Obama, you see, needs to be more of a fighter, more of an attack dog, more of a political assassin. If he does that, the New Obama – who is really the Old Obama – will rise from the ashes.
Here's a political rule of thumb: when the supporters of a politician start reaching for the Harry Truman model of comebacks, you know they're in trouble.
What we're seeing from Dionne is merely the latest in a long line of liberals who once believed Obama was their liberal Great Communicator, the rhetorical reincarnation of Lincoln, a man of supernatural political talents. Now we're supposed to believe he's clumsy and passive, too civilized, too cool, too distant, and not aggressive enough.
The uncomfortable truth for liberals is this: Obama is failing because his (liberal) policies are failing. It is that simple. Pouring old wine into new wineskin won't do the trick. Neither will a bus tour. Neither will finger the Arab Spring and the Japanese tsunami for our economic troubles. Neither will employing what John Harwood calls "the hottest rhetoric of [Obama's] tenure, blistering opponents for refusing 'to put the country ahead of party' because they would 'rather see their opponents lose than see America win.'"
What we are witnessing are the desperate, angry and increasingly unappealing words of a desperate, angry, and increasingly unappealing politician. Those who are waiting for Superman will be waiting in vain.

Re: Anybody switch from double to single?
My main reason for wanting to abandon the double pedal is that playing anything with it always seems ostentatious. They're not subtle in any way, and I feel that they're only appropriate in very heavy music. But then I put on the live Chick Corea record (Tokyo Blue Note w/ Patitucci on bass and Vinnie on drums) and I hear Vinnie playing a double pedal on an 18" bass drum, and I figure, what the hell? :)

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11, 2006 Iraqi police and coalition forces captured two insurgents Oct. 9 in Samarra, Iraq, and Iraqi police shut down an insurgent financial operation Oct. 9 in Tikrit, military officials in Iraq reported.
Iraqi police and coalition forces conducting a joint patrol captured two suspected insurgents who were attempting to enter Samarra by vehicle through a gap in the city's surrounding berm. A search of the suspects' vehicle revealed a sniper rifle. The individuals were detained for questioning.
The combined patrol also apprehended an individual after receiving small-arms and indirect fire at a checkpoint. After determining the point of origin of the indirect fire, Iraqi police found and detained a man who had a mortar tube and mortars in his possession.
Elsewhere, local police, supported by special Iraqi army forces, conducted a raid Oct. 9 in Tikrit against a local "hawala" allegedly used by individuals and businesses to provide financial support to insurgent groups. Police detained 16 individuals.
The hawala, an informal local financial system for banking and money exchange, was allegedly being used by insurgents and criminals to hide money made through illegal activity and illegally funneled into Iraq. The daylight raid was based on tips from Iraqi citizens.
Iraqi police and army forces, with coalition advisors, shut down the suspected illegal financial activity that was directly supporting foreign fighters and the ongoing insurgency. This support was directly responsible for attacks targeting Iraqi civilians as well as Iraqi security and coalition forces.

Just imagine if he'd taken that catch to the house, rushing, receiving and passing TD in one game.

Just imagine if he'd taken that catch to the house, rushing, receiving and passing TD in one game.
Honestly, this kid is gonna be the truth when he gets some more experience under his belt. Zero mistakes again today, and he's a few drops away from a 200+ yard game again.
Fix the OL penalties this week, and bench Willis McGahee's ass - this team can make some noise.
1st, TO Ravens.
1st, complete to Walker for a first.
Not quite 2 TDs trap. One was gotten back by the rook.
1st, ball thrown way away from everyone. Route mixup, looked like.
2nd, Russell hits Lelie to the Ravens 35.
1st, under 3 left, pass batted down.
2nd, blitz comes, and is underthrown for Walker.
3rd, complete to Curry, gets about 7.
4th and 3, complete to Higgins to the 20. First. 2 minute warning.
Good hands Washington....
1st, Russell evades 2-3 sacking Ravens, gets 5 on the completion.
2nd and 5, incomplete for Walker. Reed had that read all the way. Almost jumped it for 6.
3rd and 5, AGAIN jumped by Washington this time, and he dropped it. Would have WALKED to the endzone for 6. Walked.
4th and 5, Reed just destroyed Curry. Incomplete.
Can't the secondary catch today? Heh.
Oh well. Just close this ugly game out.
Kneeldown time. We go to 4-3 with some very winnable road games coming up.
Haha, Rex just got a gatorade bath.
Other than the penalties, the O-line played really good. They maintaining a good pocket for Joe to throw from today.
It was, but Flacco got that last one back.

Redding Colliery Buries Lone Star 'Cap Foes
East Coast invader Redding Colliery disposed of pacesetter Euroears leaving the final turn and left his seven rivals far behind in capturing the $300,000 Lone Star Park Handicap (gr. III) (VIDEO) for his first graded stakes victory May 31 in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Napravnik became the first female rider to win a graded stakes race in Lone Star Park history.
"He only broke a little bit slow today, but he was able to get himself into good position early on," said Napravnik, after she recorded her second win in a graded stakes. "I felt like we would get past the horse we were laying off of early on, and it was a really good feeling when he kicked clear through the stretch."
Overall, Redding Colliery's career mark stands at 5-1-3 in 15 races. He boasts career earnings of $402,853 with the winning purse of $174,000 in the Lone Star Park Handicap.

Bay belongs in the same sentence as Bobby Bonilla and Roberto Alomar now.
Bettman will be docking the Devils their next 5 1st round draft picks for this.
He was a bargain this past season with the numbers he put up. I say bring him back if the price is right.
They will be better for sure but most of the analysts will stick pick them to not make the playoffs.
There are lots of ifs after this series but I wonder what might have been if Kovy was 100% healthy.
Statistically he is due for a shutout. I am just sayin'
I really wonder what a healthy Kovalchuk could have meant earlier on in the series. You can see his back or whatever it is, is really bothering him but he is a team 1st guy. That said, they need to just play one shift at a time and come Saturday they need to make the Kings wish that hadnt come back to the Rock. A win Saturday will put some doubt in the minds of the Kings. Quick is not a machine he is human, they proved it last night.
I think tonight it's time when the captain leads his team. Zach needs some crooked numbers in the box score.
I am not in the Zidlicky haters camp, he is a big reason the Devils are playing hockey now and not golf.
They will win tonight setting up possibly a deciding game on Wednesday night. Book it! I'd love to see Sykora out there tonight, shooting that nasty snap shot off the faceoff.
It is easy to get on the interweb and blow off steam but a lot of fans really fall hard with a loss for no reason. If the Devils lose game 1, we will have people declaring sweep and series over, demanding a coaching change and Lou to step down.
I commented several times in the Panther series when the Devils went down 2-1 about all of the complaining. People need to chill out, it's a 7 game series not a 5 game series. I think this series goes 6 or 7 games, so buckle in and enjoy the ride.
I like the underhanded comment about the quality of the ice by Marty.
Devils chase Lundqvist
I live north of Albany and I have seen Gionta play a lot for the Albany Devils. He never really stood out and I am shocked by what I am seeing from him. It's hard not to root for him to do well. I guess its all about making the best of your opportunities.
No Grant Marshall, he was clutch in 03.
I am sure a lot this stems for all the incidents, some deplorable IMO, that occurred when the Devils and Rangers met lat time in the playoffs at the Rock.
CamJan and Eric Boulton should remain in the press box the entire series. If with injuries, the Devils could call someone from Albany to fill a 4th line role. The Devils' advantage is their ability to roll 4 lines. The Rangers' 4th line cannot match the Devils' line in skill or ice time. Clarkson should also keep playing whistle to whistle like he did vs Philly. The Devils did not feed into Philly game and that frustrated them even more. If the Devils start all the silly stuff after the whistles and fighting like we saw during the season they will not win this series.
I hope that '5th lne' in the article doesn't see any ice time until next fall.
He is overlooked because he is not flashy. However is almost never out of position, blocks a lot of shots and is also very solid on the puck. The trade with the Blues that brought him here was a typical Devils under the radar move. I am glad he has shown no signs of the concussion that kept him out a year.

Waikiki, Oahu
My Rating
This trip was a highlight of our stay in Hawaii. Our guide was very friendly and looked after us very well. The Kayaking part was great, this trip is mainly about the Kayaking part. The little hike was good as the view we got was amazing but this trip was centred on the Kayaking. The lunch was very sufficient and the island is great, we even got to walk around and explore it more.

Frank Lewis
PDT Staff Writer
Defense Attorney Franklin T. Gerlach put his client, Brandon Wilson, on the stand Monday, in an attempt to clarify Wilson's version of what happened in the weeks and hours before the death of 10-month-old Neylan Wilson on Nov. 19, 2012.
The situation, as far as the case goes, began on Nov. 1, when the parents, Wilson and Tierra Simeona took Neylan for medical attention after he became ill and was vomiting. According to Simeona, they took the child to SOMC Urgent Care in Wheelersburg, where he was released after 7 p.m., then took him trick or treating in New Boston.
Gerlach called New Boston Mayor James Warren to testify, and under questioning, Warren told him the hours for trick or treating on Nov. 1 were 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Wilson told a different chain of events. He told the jury, they attempted to take Neylan to Southern Ohio Medical Center's main campus, but found it too crowded, and so they headed for the Urgent Care facility, but made a stop first in New Boston to take Neylan and his sibling to trick or treat - then went to Urgent Care.
Both said they did not tell doctors about a fall Wilson said he had taken earlier on the stairs in the apartment, because they didn't think his injuries were severe and they were mainly concerned with the vomiting.
Another issue occurred when Wilson, while under questioning, said the same thing Simeona had said earlier in the case.
"My mom was scaring us, telling us that we would be in trouble if we took him to Urgent Care, because they would think there was abuse and negligence," Wilson said.
Gerlach brought out what Wilson said was a special bond between Wilson and Neylan, saying Wilson sometimes referred to Neylan as his "favorite child." He was asked if Wilson had, prior to the birth of the baby, been told he may not be the father. Wilson said he was and it bothered him at first, but after Neylan was born, they bonded.
"Yes, Neylan was my child," Wilson said.
The case then advanced to the date of the discovery of injuries and the subsequent date of the death of Neylan Wilson, Nov. 18 and 19. Earlier doctors from Nationwide Children's Hospital had testified the skull fracture and hemorrhaging, as well as the torn retinas were the result of shaken Baby Syndrome and blunt force trauma to the back of the head.
"Did you cause any blunt force trauma to the back of the head of Neylan, your son?" Gerlach asked.
"No, I did not," Wilson responded.
Wilson was asked if he did something to try to revive the child when he became unresponsive. It is then that he said he shook the child to try to revive him, the same explanation of his admission to shaking the baby, found on the video interview with Wilson conducted by Scioto County Sheriff's Detective Jodi Conkel.
Under questioning by Gerlach, Wilson said he had started the day, Nov. 18, by smoking marijuana at a friend's house. Wilson also reiterated the description of three falls - one down the stairs, another in a shopping cart, and another from a couch in the home.
Under cross examination, Assistant Scioto County Prosecutor began by going over Wilson's extensive record, touching on everything from several arrests and a conviction for domestic violence, disorderly conduct, two theft convictions, carrying a concealed weapon, being a fugitive from justice in Las Vegas, and several misdemeanor counts. Apel brought out that Wilson had been put in Marsh House for drug rehab, but had left early, and that he had been ordered to the Second Chance Drug Rehab Center, where he also left after a few days.
Apel continued to hammer away at Wilson, asking him to explain what happened to the baby since the injuries were supposed to have occurred within 12 hours of it being brought to the hospital, since it was determined the only people in the house during that time frame were Wilson, Neylan, and the three-year-old sibling.
Wilson continued to say he did not know what could have happened unless it had been from the earlier fall from the couch.
At one point, when confronted by Apel, Wilson said he wished he had told the doctors about the fall.
"I wish I had taken him to the doctor when he fell," Wilson said. "If there was something I wish I had done, it was that."
Apel grabbed the doll used in the video interview and slammed it against the podium, charging - "This is what you did!"
Wilson continued to respond - "No sir I did not."
"Can you explain what happened?" Apel asked
"Besides what I described, no I can't," Wilson said.
After re-direct questioning by Gerlach, Judge William T. Marshall told the jury both sides will give closing arguments beginning at 9 a.m. today, followed by the charging of the jury and deliberations.
