Made in 1942 but released early in 1943, Secret Enemies is a Warner Bros. espionage quickie, putting the studio's second-echelon contractees to good use. Craig Stevens, Faye Emerson and John Ridgely are the leads in this hour-long meller about a Nazi spy ring operating covertly in America. The FBI sniffs out the "secret enemies," striking another blow against Uncle Adolf. Secret Enemies enabled Faye Emerson to step up into "A" pictures and secured a contract extension for reliable utility player John Ridgely. But Craig Stevens was drafted almost immediately after the film's release; unable to regain his lost footing after the war, it would take Stevens until 1958 to establish himself as a full-fledged star on the TV series Peter Gunn. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

NY Needs Answers
October 18, 2010
E. J. McMahon
What gov rivals should say
Tonights seven-way, 90-minute New York guber natorial debate sounds more like the premise for a TV reality show than a forum for airing the most critical issues facing the Empire State.
Andrew Cuomo and Carl Paladino will be sharing a crowded stage with everyone from the self-proclaimed Manhattan Madam to the candidate of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party. Think of it as "Top Chef" meets "Last Comic Standing" -- with voters as the ultimate judges.
Assuming they can get a word in edgewise, this would be a good time for Cuomo and Paladino to move beyond the standard bromides and bluster. New Yorkers need to hear more from the major-party candidates on how theyd clean up the fiscal mess awaiting the next governor.
That mess is as big and bad as ever. Next years state budget gap is $8.2 billion, and the projected red ink over the next three years totals $37 billion. For all his battling with the Legislature, Gov. Paterson has barely made a dent in the problem. In fact, counting appropriations temporarily supported by stimulus aid from Washington, state spending has increased by 11 percent over the last three years, in the teeth of the Great Recession.
This years state budget includes $5.9 billion in Medicaid and education outlays underwritten by federal stimulus cash. Next year, all but $712 million will disappear. Projected tax-receipt growth will make up for only part of the stimulus drop.
The upshot, as depicted in the nearby chart: Balancing the next state budget will require an immediate cut of $1 billion from this years combined general fund and stimulus-fed spending.
Paladinos pledge to slash the budget by 20 percent may sound reckless to Albany insiders. But if Cuomo intends to keep his own promise to cap state spending and hold the line on state taxes, hell need to cut the current-law baseline by at least 20 percent over the next three years. In this sense, Paladino and Cuomo have the same goal -- but neither has put forward a cogent plan for achieving it.
Take Medicaid. Making up for the disappearing stimulus would require an unprecedented 20 percent reduction in current Medicaid spending. But Medicaid inflation and utilization are rising by 8 percent a year -- and strings tied by Congress to the last few stimulus dollars will complicate efforts to curb the growth.
Paladinos pledge to cut $20 billion from the program is simply implausible -- as is his promise to convert the savings into a 10 percent tax cut. On the other hand, at least the Republican recognizes that New Yorks generous and unaffordable Medicaid benefits will have to be dramatically scaled back. Cuomos solution -- "Make Medicaid more efficient" through various administrative reforms -- is simply inadequate.
When it comes to school aid, the largest single category in the budget, the Democratic attorney general has a similarly unimpressive prescription: "Make education more efficient" through shared services among school districts. Paladino says hed consolidate school administration at the county level and use the savings to expand the school day and year. How this would help close the state budget gap is anyones guess.
As for the state bureaucracy, Cuomos promise to freeze state employees salaries will produce zero savings, because their union contracts all expire early next year and the financial plan already assumes no more pay hikes. Paladino assumes he can save huge amounts merely by cutting loose "dead weight," "parasites," "management moles" and "politically connected brothers-in-law" -- which sounds like a disgruntled state workers fantasy. If only it were that easy.
The centerpiece of Cuomos platform is his proposal to cap the growth in local property-tax levies at 2 percent a year -- which Paladino has dismissed as "gutless" but grudgingly endorsed. Yet the cap will be a sham if it isnt coupled with the sort of mandate-relief "tool kit" Gov. Chris Christie is promoting in New Jersey, including reform of lavish public-sector wage and benefit deals.
Theres no shortage of good toolmaking ideas out there. Just last week, Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy (a Democrat-turned-Republican who failed in his own race for governor) issued a solid proposal for overhauling pensions, including a shift to 401(k)-style defined-contribution retirement accounts.
Cuomo and Paladino need to state more clearly where they stand on mandating defined-contribution retirement plans for all new government workers. Beyond that, they need to lay out detailed plans for curbing public-sector compensation -- including retiree health benefits, which loom as a $205 billion unfunded liability for state and local governments.
Standard answers, such as "everything must be on the table" or "Im taking a baseball bat to Albany," wont suffice. And no looking over to the Manhattan Madam for help.

Please Stop!
I like to think that I am pretty laid back and the majority of people don't annoy me. I try to look at negatives and turn them into positives, but sometimes, we are all pushed to our limits. Today is Multiple Personalities Day, which got me thinking about personality traits and which flaw is simply unbearable to be around. I tend to say one thing and do another, which I blame on being a Pisces (two fish swimming in opposite directions) – well, that's my excuse, anyway, and I'm sticking to it! One thing though, guys – if we all simply listened and were aware of how we speak, then maybe, just maybe, the world would be a better place! Vote for which of these treacherous traits raises the red flag for you, or tell us what rattles your cage the most and why in the comments section below.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- Occupy Columbia has filed new paperwork in federal court indicating the group is moving forward with their lawsuit against Governor Nikki Haley.
Haley ordered state law enforcement officers to kick the protesters off the State House grounds in November of 2011.
Last month a federal court ruled the Governor did not have immunity from the lawsuit and should be included in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit also includes Leroy Smith, Director of the SC Department of Public Safety, and Zackary Wise, the Chief of the SC Bureau of Protective Services.
Occupy Columbia's lawyers have argued that the group had a right to protest peacefully on the State House grounds and that the Governor and law enforcement violated their 1st Amendment right by arresting them.
According to federal court records the anticipated trial date is September 11.

MIDAS TRAQ System optimized for the MIDAS Workflow
To enable the MIDAS workflow at optimum performance levels, Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX has introduced the MIDAS TRAQ LC/MS/MS system. The system combines the reproducibility and ease-of-use of the new Tempo nano MDLC system with the high sensitivity and dynamic range of the 4000 Q TRAP hybrid triple quadrupole linear ion trap system. The system is also fully compatible with iTRAQ reagents for protein biomarker discovery.
A single period multiplexed MRM assay consisting of 137 MRM experiments representing 53 plasma proteins (including 38 cardiovascular disease biomarkers) has been developed and tested in digested human plasma.2 Very good reproducibility between replicates and across sample preparations was obtained, highlighting the potential of this method for higher throughput quantitative biomarker early stage validation.
A key strategy to the design of these methods was the use of the MIDAS workflow for developing the MRM transitions to previously undetected proteins and improving MRM selection and sensitivity to others. With this straightforward strategy, proteins in the top 5 orders of the protein abundance curve in human plasma can be quantitatively profiled in a high throughput manner with minimal sample and minimal sample preparation.
This same strategy can be applied to proteins of lower abundance, using additional upfront sample preparation.

USS Dewey (DDG-105) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer in the United States Navy. Dewey is the third Navy ship named after Admiral of the Navy George Dewey, hero of the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish–American War.[2] The ship is part of Destroyer Squadron 1 of Carrier Strike Group One which is currently headed by the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70).
She was authorized on 13 September 2002 and was built by Northrop Grumman Ship Systems. The keel was laid down on 4 October 2006 at the company's shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi.
On 26 January 2008, Dewey was christened in a ceremony in Pascagoula, by Deborah Mullen, the wife of Admiral Mike Mullen.[3] Dewey was commissioned in Seal Beach, California on 6 March 2010, as the 55th Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.[3] This is the first ship commissioning for the City of Seal Beach.[4]
In April 2013, the Dewey was outfitted with a Laser Weapon System (LaWS). This is an experimental weapon which can be used to disable small boats and drones.

You're a Gay Couple. Now What Do You Do?
For same-sex couples, the Supreme Court's gay marriage decisions have an immediate dollars-and-cents impact.
In two rulings yesterday, the court cleared the way for gay marriage in California and struck down the core of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a federal law that denied benefits to married same-sex couples. For DOMA plaintiff Edith Windsor, the ruling means she'll get back the $363,000 plus interest that the U.S. took in estate taxes when her wife died. For other same-sex couples, her victory means access to the 1,100-plus federal marriage benefits previously denied them, from Social Security and health insurance to federal pensions and the right to sponsor spouses for immigration. Many married gay couples will be able to file federal taxes together for the first time, bringing tax cuts for some and increases for others.
It may be months or years before all the details are settled -- particularly the question of which benefits will be available to gay couples living in states that don't recognize their marriages. In the meantime, here are three obvious effects of yesterday's rulings on same-sex couples.
1. The economic and financial incentives to get married just went way up.
"A lot of these older gay couples who have been waiting on the sidelines are going to get off the dime," says Boston attorney Scott Squillace. While Massachusetts legalized gay marriage in 2004, some of Squillace's clients still saw those unions as "marriage lite," because they weren't recognized by the federal government.
Marriages recognized on a state and local level can be enormously important to couples when one person dies or needs medical treatment, or when the couple has children. It also makes administrative details like owning property together much easier. What it doesn't do is level the economic playing field with heterosexual couples by providing access to Social Security survivor benefits, federal pensions or estate tax exemptions -- programs with meaningful financial impact.
How much do these sorts of incentives really influence the decision to get married? It's hard to ignore an $8,000 annual bill for health insurance. That's how much Minneapolis small-businessman Tim Meyer, 50, must pay because he can't be included in the coverage his partner, Mark, gets as a teacher. If they get married, though, it might have more to do with the desires of their three teenage sons than insurance or other perks. "We want equal treatment," Meyer says. "We don't want [financial considerations] to be the reason why we're getting married."
2. Where you live matters more than it ever did.
Those lucky enough to live in states that recognize their marriages are upgraded to full state and federal benefits based on the DOMA ruling. Those who don't live in such states remain in much the same situation as before.
Geography could play a big role in how the federal government implements the Supreme Court's ruling. Social Security, for example, recognizes marriages based on the policies of the state where a beneficiary lives, says Peter W. Martin, a Cornell University law professor who specializes in the entitlement program. That means that two men married in Massachusetts but living in Florida, which bans gay marriage, likely wouldn't get spousal benefits.
The Supreme Court's DOMA decision could create stark contrasts. In Pennsylvania, for example, a same-sex couple gets no recognition at all. If they get married out of state, they can't even file for divorce in Pennsylvania, which is a major inconvenience, says Julia Swain, a partner at law firm Fox Rothschild LLP in Philadelphia.
If the married couple moved to Philly's New Jersey suburbs, however, their same-sex marriage would be recognized as a civil union. And starting this summer, crossing the river to Delaware would get them full marriage rights -- local, state and federal. In the same way that people choose where to live based on schools, says Swain, "gay couples should consider moving to a gay-friendly state."
The hope for same-sex couples in states that don't recognize their marriages is that the language in some federal statutes doesn't base eligibility on state recognition. The Obama administration may be aggressive about extending to couples in all 50 states as many federal benefits as possible. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel issued a statement yesterday saying the military "intends to make the same benefits available to all military spouses -- regardless of sexual orientation -- as soon as possible."
If these and other federal benefits are applied to all married couples everywhere, expect even more destination weddings to the 13 states (along with Washington, D.C.) that let gays and lesbians tie the knot.
3. Almost all gay and lesbian couples must still deal with major and costly hassles that don't afflict heterosexual married couples.
Emily Hecht-McGowan, 38, is among the people getting the biggest boost from the Supreme Court decisions. She and her wife, Sharon, live in Maryland, which fully recognizes their marriage. Her wife is a federal employee, meaning Emily can now be covered under her health insurance if necessary, and gets access to her federal retirement benefits. Those are a big deal, because the birth of their daughter in October got them thinking seriously about their financial safety net.
"We now have access to all the protections other couples have as they age," says Hecht-McGowan, who is the director of public policy for Family Equality Council, an advocacy group for gay and lesbian families.
Despite this, they and almost all same-sex couples need to take precautions. Big potential problems come up with travel, because of the threat of an accident or health emergency while they're in a state that doesn't recognize their marriage. "Even though DOMA has been rendered unconstitutional, when my wife and I travel over the border to Virginia, we aren't recognized in any way," Emily says.
After she gave birth to their daughter, Sharon needed to go to court to adopt her. Both keep a variety of legal documents on a zip drive on their keychains just in case problems arise. With 35 states banning gay marriage, "there is a lot of work left for us to do," Emily says.

Governor Bobby Jindal issued the following statement this morning following the news of Phil Robertson being suspended by A&E from the show Duck Dynasty.
"Phil Robertson and his family are great citizens of the State of Louisiana. The politically correct crowd is tolerant of all viewpoints, except those they disagree with. I don't agree with quite a bit of stuff I read in magazine interviews or see on TV. In fact, come to think of it, I find a good bit of it offensive. But I also acknowledge that this is a free country and everyone is entitled to express their views. In fact, I remember when TV networks believed in the First Amendment. It is a messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended "
Louisiana Democratic Party Chair Karen Carter Peterson responded in turn to Jindal's statement:
"If we support an entertainer's right to freedom of speech -- and we do -- then we must also support a corporation's right to terminate the entertainer's contract and distance itself from his blatantly offensive comments," Peterson said.
"That said, I am amused to hear that our governor is now urging tolerance of viewpoints that are unpopular. Former Secretary of Health and Hospitals Fred Cerise, former CEO of the Office of Group Benefits Tommy Teague and former chief of the Governor's Office of Elderly Affairs Martha Manuel all expressed opinions that differed from the governor -- and they were all summarily dismissed for expressing those views. Excuse me governor, but your hypocrisy is showing."

GSL Law and Consulting Offices
Law offices are typically adorned with countless bookshelves, books, diplomas, and are usually dark. The GSL Offices in Moscow are basically the exact opposite.
Bright colored walls corresponding to the different departments are the first element of note. While law offices seem like they have a somber feel, this office seems much more fun and light hearted. The space also has some interesting architectural features like circle windows, arched doorways, and numerous built-in bookshelves that fit with the overall theme.
And in case you were wondering, they do have a bear skin on the wall. That's what happens when they lose court cases, and that has only happened once.

Bad Clunking when locked in 4x4
Always something with this trucks front end. When I lock the truck in 4 wheel drive there is a loud clunking noise that can be heard and felt throgh the floor boards. If I turn the tires left or right while it is in 4 wheel drive it gets really loud. Just pulled everything on the front end apart and all looks good. Here is what is new All 3 universals on front drive shaft, both wheel hub assemblys are a year old, all steering linkage is a year old. Bought the truck with 100k on the clock and it did not have the original ball joints up front nor stock u joints at the wheels. I checked those and the seem to be fine. Abouit a year ago a very light clicking noise could be heard while driving in 4 wheel drive at the beach. Since then did not use it much unless at the boat ramp. This past snow we had about a month ago I used 4 wheel drive at the clicking turned into loud thuds which is where I am now with it. Also just pulled the front diff cover off and everything looks fine in there. About 2 months ago I got an abs light referring to the front driver side abs sensor bad. The last time that happened the passenger side needle bearing in the hub went bad and wiped out the sensor, but like I said the bearings look fine. Is it possible that it could be the locking hub or transfer case? The truck is a 2003 F350 srw, 152k miles with a leveling on 33x12.50.

Throughout the decades we've all heard that battle cry that piracy is killing the music business. But is it really? Since mix-tapes music fans have continually copied music illegally and the industry is still alive today. The film and TV industry cried wolf with the onset of the video age, and there industry is thriving like never before. Instead of blaming the messenger, i.e. that consumers want to own their music no matter what device or service they need to play it on – once they have paid for it. The recorded music industry should be taking an inward look at its own practices where it can easily be claimed that numerous record labels rip-off artists in a morally bankrupt manner.
Furthermore, the ex-Director of Research at industry body the IPFI, Keith Joppling has clearly stated that he knows of no study ever undertaken whilst under his watch that unequivocally points to illegal file-sharing as being the main cause for declining recorded music sales. Let's also be very clear that it is independent labels that get caught in the crossfire, despite the fact their deals are a lot more "fair and equitable" than major label record deals.
Whilst yes, physical sales have been declining on the recorded music side, publishing income has been increasing year on year and so has live touring income for artists. The truth of the matter is that this is no different for artist's from any other decade. Despite records making money for labels, artists are told they have not recouped, even when the label has recouped numerous times over on the sales of that same artists music. So whilst an artist may NOT be recouped, a label may have made $2 million gross on the album release.
There is no industry in the world that would even dream of getting away with the following scenario that the music business has gotten away with for decades.
A label advances an artist say $200000 to record an album. Whilst the label wholesales the finished record, to music retailers at say $10 per record, the artist is only paid around a 10% royalty (after producer and packaging deductions – yes it usually starts off at 16 – 18%, but then artist have pay producer points out of their cut, and then their are lots of other deductions labels charge against the artists royalty) so $1.00 per sale. But the artist only starts to see their payment once they have paid back their $200000 advance via their $1.00 per record unit sale. The label refers to this as recoupment.
So in essence a record label only has to sell 20,000 records to recoup its initial advance of $200,000, whilst the artist needs to sell 200,000 records before as an artist they begin to see a cent. By this stage the record label has already made 2 million dollars gross from the 200,000 record sales (whilst the artist has not made a cent). If the above is not a form of piracy – then TMV asks what is? It gets worse. Even after an artist has recouped the advance for the label, the record label still owns the artist's music.
A simple analogy depicts it better. You borrow money from a bank to purchase a home, you pay back the loan you own the house. In the music business as an artist you are given a high interest loan (advance), whereby even if you pay it back via what in any other industry would be regarded as illegal terms – the record label still owns your house (i.e. your music).
Now lets be clear here, TMV does not support piracy or the illegal copying of copyrighted content in any manner whatsoever. However, the recorded music business does need to look inwards first and clear up what are quite clearly unethical business practices! If labels want to be taken seriously when screaming blue murder about file sharing sites by government and music punters alike, then it's about time the recorded music industry also began providing BALANCED recording agreements – along with timely and accurate accounting procedures.
Piracy has been around for numerous decades, and the music business is as vibrant as ever. The only people feeling the pain are recorded music labels. Artists have rarely seen a pay-cheque from any recorded music sales anyway, so artist's pain has not increased in any quantifiable way.
On a final note start paying "fair and just royalties" to artists and open up licensing so if a consumer pays once they have every right to use the track on which ever hardware and/or software device they so choose and you have a win-win situation for all concerned. How much piracy have the labels stopped by preventing Spotify from launching in the US? TMV hope the labels are listening….

I love this Parka!! I am a 38 year old Masters swimmer , 5'4", 132lbs. and purchased an adult XS---fit is perfect. Hits below my knees, plenty of room in the chest, sleeve length great. Chose this over the Nike because of the extra pockets---very happy.

Love it!!
I'm an adult that plays around doing triathlons so I just swim a few times a week. I swim at an outdoor so the coat is great when I get out of the water. I also use it to wear out in general. It's very warm and cozy. The sizing is great - I'm 5"5", 140 lbs and the XXS fits good (Guess that's because the coat is unisex. I've never worn an XXS in my life!). The hood is small, it covers my head but I'd like it to be larger so I can really snuggle into the coat. You have to make sure the bottom toggle is flat so the zipper works but that's just a little thing. I LOVE this swim parka and very glad I purchased it. I'm hoping for more cold weather so I can wear it longer!!

XXL Youth versus XXS Adult
Our daughter needed a XXL Youth, but we could not find one. So we decided to go with this TYR XXS Adult, and it fits very well. The arms are still a little long, but with the velcro cuffs, it is easy to push up, and she still has room to grow in it.She is 65 lbs, and 4'6". Overall she is very happy. Great parka!

Great Fit, Comfortable and Warm
Great sporty look with warmth for cold and windy night practices/games. Microfleece lining is not clammy next to my wet body as opposed to fur lined material which never dries well. No flap in the back to let the wind come in. Zipper does not slide up very easy but most times I overlap my jacket sides anyways. You won't regret buying this jacket.

Very Sharp
This parka will keep you very warm.
Palo Alto
soft parka
I bought the XXS for my 8 year old daughter. She is 53 inches and weighs 65 lbs. The parka is big on her (down to almost her ankles) but the wrists have a velcro and are easier to adjust so they stay up. I bought big hoping it will last her to teen years. I think it is the softest fleece on the inside and best price compared to other brands.
Warm, Multifunctional
I am 5"2" size 4, xs-s in women sizing. Got the XS based on reviews but exchanged for XXS. It truly is unisex sizing and big. Could've used XS if i wanted a boxy blanket fit but XXS fits better like a roomy parka. Sleeves are tad long but less so than XS. 4 stars for: Zipper is not as buttery as i'd like and snags in spots ev time i use, plus the fleece lining sags so it gets slightly droopy towards the bottom. But i love the warmth, have walked my dog in it, used it as a workout jacket to get to yoga studio more than i have for the pool. Am trying not to swim at nites since i got sick last time...so more usage to come once i get better!
Fit: Feels too big
I ordered 2 of these parkas for my boys. My youngest is about 4 1/2 ft. tall and about 80 pounds. I ordered him an XXS. The arms are long, but the velcro closures on the wrists solved that problem. We just push the sleeves up and cinch the wrists with the velcro. The length is good. Hits him at about the ankles. Plenty of room to grow, but not ridiculously big.My oldest is about 5ft tall and about 120 pounds. I got him the XS, again, similar fit as my youngest, room to grow.Neither boy feels like he is "swimming" (pardon the pun) in his parka. Both love the warmth and comfort. It doesn't feel bulky. All the pockets are great. i-pod fits great in one pocket and goggles in the other. I love the quality and the look. Very happy with my purchase!!
San Francsico, CA
Great Parka
I bought XXS for my daughter. She is 4' 10" and 80 lbs. It is big but she can wear. It's gonna be fit soon. She said it is very warm and loves Interior zipper pockets.
Irvine, CA
Excellent quality
Bought this for my 15 year old daughter....a little larger than I expected on the size but ok. Really good quality and the fleece lining is warm as well. Like the red accents on the zipper. This should last her for years to come. My 12 year old likes to wear it too...so very versatile for either male or female. Would order again...quick and easy and best price I found.
Greensboro, NC
My son loves this parka, very warm!
Love this parka, as for sizing, my son is 8 5ft and 108 lbs and typically where's a 14- and we ordered a men's small, the jacket fits a little big however we are happy he has room to grow into.
Moorpark, Ca
Love my TYR Alliance Team Parka, but ….
I love this parka, but I don't understand why the hood stops right at the forehead? If it is raining, there is no protection for your face, unless you are wearing a cap. I think I don't understand this design…..but I do love the parka. I purchased the XS, I am 5ft 3in tall, weight 115 lbs, and it fits perfectly!

TYR parka
Adult small fits out 5'3" daughter perfect with plenty of room. Not too big or too small. Very warm with lots if features.

Great Parka
My daughter swims 3 times a week, loves her Parka especially with the Ipod pocket. It keeps her warm. I order a adult small it fits her good she is 5"3, 107 pounds..Worth the money.

Wonderful parka
Lining does not retain water. Keeps daughter warm year round between events (at outdoor pools). Love the zip pockets and specific pockets for cell phone and iPod. Well made parka.

Warm & In Style
I bought this TYR XS based on the reviews comment. I'm female 5"1 , 110lb. It fits me perfectly and keeps me warm after get out of water. Thanks for all of your inputs. This Parka is very nice, Soft, comfy and good quality. Also it looks very sharp.

Love it!!!!
I swim in an outdoor pool 5-6 days a week. This parka has made my walk to and from the pool a stroll rather than a shivering dash. It is very comfortable and extremely warm. Best gift I ever bought myself!!!

Love this parka
Quality product. Great for the walk from the pool. Exceeds my expectations. I bought a Large. I'm a female size 18, 5'4",and it's a perfect fit and length. I love this parka.
San Francisco, CA.
GREAT swim parka!
I bought this for my 11 year old daughter who swims year round with her team. I love it! The parka is well made and I love that there are two outside pockets with zippers AND two inside pockets with zippers. My daughter is TALL and muscular . She's 5'4" and weighs about 140....so typically she wears a women's medium in clothing.... I bought her an ADULT size LARGE in this parka, hoping for some extra room...It's PERFECT. I did take her measurments and compare them to the TYR size chart before deciding on the adult large. She "could" have fit the medium according to the charts, but the large gives her the extra room the kids LOVE in their swim cover ups. She should be able to wear this parka for 2-3 years at the very least , even if she continues to sprout up! I would recommend the TYR Alliance Parka to everyone! On a side note: I am also very happy with SwimOutlet's service. This comes after a slightly bumpy start. Originally, I ordered 3 other items from them. (another mfgr's parka, swim caps and goggles.) After about 3-4 days, I got an email that they didn't have ANY of the items. I was a bit miffed. Eventually, about 2 days later, I decided to try them one more time because they have the best prices and options on the web. I ordered THIS parka and I paid a bit extra for 3 day shipping. Well, they outdid themselves!! SwimOutlet actually shipped the TYR Parka the SAME DAY I ordered it AND they shipped it overnight ! I literally got it the next business day! Needless to say, I was VERY happy and will always look to SwimOutlet first for all our future needs!

Author With Cancer Crisis Finds Strength From Ancient Literary Poems
When Shirley A. Wilson was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease thirty years ago, she found strength and empowerment from the Bible, namely the ancient Hebrew poems in the book of Psalms.
The principles she discovered were also a wellspring of encouragement as she experienced life with her profoundly disabled younger brother and witnessed her mother's struggle with Multiple Sclerosis.
"These psalms speak to every issue that modern women face," declares Wilson. "When we internalize them so that they become part of our spiritual, emotional, and psychological fiber, we're able to remain strong in any life situation."
In her new book, "Strength from the Psalms," the author connects the psalmists' experience with that of today's women. The result is a compilation of basic principles that can be applied to daily living. "These truths motivate women to make the changes necessary that will bring them spiritual success and victory," says Wilson. "Through the psalmists' harrowing experiences, Christian women can find hope in the words of a God who has not changed since those psalms were written. They will find the beauty, encouragement, and empowerment for living they need, no matter what their ages, stages in life, or professional interests."
Shirley A. Wilson directs Women in Christ at Christian Faith Fellowship, the church that she helped her pastor-husband establish in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Special Education from West Chester University in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The Wilsons have two grown sons, Philip and Michael, and live in Pennsylvania.

We have apparently passed the end date of the ancient Mayan calendar, and tonight we pass the end date on our modern 2012 calendar and start the New Year 2013.
Gardening: New year is time for reviewing garden practices
This end-of-one-year-start-of-a-new-year time period is one where we usually pause to reflect on the year that is winding down and ponder dreams and goals for the year ahead.
We are even tempted to ponder our life's accomplishments, disappointments, challenges and to plan for any midcourse corrections to get where we want to go.
We can benefit from the same year-end review and planning when it comes to our gardening and landscape activities.
Regardless of the calendar change to a new year this is the perfect season to do our gardening or farming reviews and planning. It is the coldest season of the year with short days when we are between crop seasons.
Most of the plant world is dormant or in hibernation, curled up for the winter and waiting for the invitation of spring.
Farmers have their winter wheat and gardeners have their evergreen trees and shrubs, pansies and a few other hardy crops, but most of the plant world is hiding for the winter, trying to avoid the ice, snow and cold like those experienced this last week.
Since we are in a drought, these winter crops do need periodic watering to survive the Oklahoma winter.
You still could make late plantings of spring flowering bulbs or dig some new flower beds but, for the most part, this is the season to stay inside and enjoy pictures and memories of gardens past and to dream and plan for gardens future.
The past several years have seen an explosion of new gardeners — particularly vegetable, fruit and berry gardeners — as more people have tackled growing some of their own food crops.
This has been one part of the whole "grow local" movement that has led to many new local farmers markets and new growers to serve those markets.

The U.S. State Department has issued a new travel warning for Americans traveling to or living in Mexico.
The warning was issued Friday morning and warns American citizens about the latest trends in drug cartel violence south of the border.
The State Department reports that crime and drug cartel violence is not generally seen in tourist destinations and resorts but nonetheless urges caution.

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Anne Stickney (@Shadesogrey) welcomes you to the land of retread questions that ought to be answered again.
I like answering questions. You guys asked some really good ones yesterday!
So let's get to them, shall we?
Revynn asked:
3Q's4tQ: First, I've been wanting to RP a blood elf who desperately wants to be a feral Druid for some time. Which class would make a better fit to actually roll? Monk (healing OS, feels more magical) or Rogue (stealth, but poisons and shadow magic stuff)? - Secondly, if her initial fascination with Druids was sparked by a Druid she met during Arthas' march on Silvermoon, would that be more likely to be a Night Elf or Tauren? - Third (and now for something completely different), do battle pets gain XP during a capture or only from kills?
The header video is just for you, Revynn.

Monk (healing OS, feels more magical) or Rogue (stealth, but poisons and shadow magic stuff)? - Secondly, if her initial fascination with Druids was sparked by a Druid she met during Arthas' march on Silvermoon, would that be more likely to be a Night Elf or Tauren? - Third (and now for something completely different), do battle pets gain XP during a capture or only from kills?
The header video is just for you, Revynn.
I actually addressed the blood elf druid question in a roleplaying column earlier this year, but it's worth addressing again and taking your specific questions into account. If you're really dead set on roleplaying some sort of blood elf druid, you'd probably want to go with a monk. They are a hybrid class that can tank, heal and dps, and they deal with more natural magic than most other classes. Rogues really wouldn't fit as druids at all -- they're all about the physical damage, not about magic at all. So if you really want to do it, roll a monk.
As for your second question, the answer is neither. When Arthas razed the forests of Quel'thalas and marched on Silvermoon, he was accompanied by a scourge army that consisted of the dead soldiers and peasants of Lordaeron. Tauren and night elves weren't even known to the human race until the end of the Third War, which was after Arthas made his march. Prior to the Third War, the night elves were secluded in the forests of Kalimdor, and the tauren were nomadic wanderers on the Kalimdor plains. The sin'dorei did not really encounter druids until they joined the Horde, well after Arthas marched on Silvermoon.
For the third question, your battle pets will gain XP for each fight they participate in and win. Let's say you have a squirrel, a black tabby and a panda cub. As long as you rotate through each pet and they successfully attack the pet you're fighting, they'll all get experience. I believe this applies for capturing a pet, too -- if your pet helped out in beating down another pet, that pet will get experience. The more rounds they participate in, the more experience they get. Hope that helps!
SparkysShocker asked:
Q4TQ: I know the stat scaling on Heirlooms doesn't scale pass the level indicated on the item, my question is does the item still provide XP past the level on the item?
Nope! If the item stops scaling at level 80, it also stops giving you the XP bonus at level 80. There's no reason to continue using the item at that point if you happen to find a better upgrade.
Tucsonduke asked:
I know that Garona and Medivh were both in Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, was their romance in the story of the game or was it introduced in the comic?
It was featured in the second half of the Warcraft comics series. If you'd like to read those issues, they've been put together as graphic novels. Garona's story is in Volume 3 and Volume 4 of the series. And don't get me wrong -- taken as purely a comic book, the series wasn't bad. It just didn't feel like part of the overall universe that exists between games and novels, you know?
JeffLaBowski asked:
Q4tQ- Do you they will ever add a feature for us to breed pets? We could make some interesting combos. Perhaps have a chance to get a rare or discover a new pet?
Man I hope so, because I really want that Knights of the Round Summon Materia.
hayley.whitehead asked:
I've been playing WoW a long time and only passingly ever paid attention to Lore. I've been reading the articles here, and it sounds like it can be interesting at times. I have one question, though, that I'd like to be summed up who knows a lot about it: What is the Emerald Dream? Why do people want a Raid to do about it?
Way back when the Old Gods were imprisoned, the Titans put in the re-origination device down in Uldum. Basically, if the Old Gods got out of control, the re-origination device would essentially destroy the planet, and rebuild it again. From what we've been led to understand, the Emerald Dream is essentially a copy of Azeroth before the Old Gods arrived. It's a copy of Azeroth in its natural state. Think of it as a set of blueprints -- in the event that Azeroth is destroyed, those blueprints will be used to rebuild the place.
The Green Dragonflight was entrusted with watching over the Emerald Dream, but the Old Gods managed to get in and wreck the place. They were beaten back during the Nightmare War, which is recorded in the novel Stormrage. However, at the end of the book it's made clear that the Old Gods still aren't entirely out of the Emerald Dream -- which is why people think going there would be a good idea.
Personally, I think it'd be a great idea for an expansion if handled correctly. The Emerald Dream would be a huge new zone, because it would be the continent of Kalimdor before the Sundering split it apart. Think of a land mass the size of Kalimdor, the Eastern Kingdoms, Northrend and Pandaria combined. That's big. Now think of it full of quests to do and things to explore in a world that is essentially primordial Azeroth. Wouldn't that be interesting? Some people think so.
drake.lazarus asked:
Q4TQ: How many other games do you play? Not just occasional bits of Bejewelled, but significant time spent in other PC and/or console games?
As someone that writes about WoW ... not a lot. When I'm not writing or playing WoW, I'm generally not at the computer at all -- I'd rather be working on projects around the house. However, I have been known to play other games when there's a lull. Skyrim, Bastion, Mass Effect, and even old throwbacks like Monkey Island. I tend to go with single-player games.
@hoang519 asked via Twitter:
as a raiding rogue are u inline with the community's distaste with passive damage? Or do you find urself still hitting buttons?
The rotation for an Assassination rogue seems incredibly slow at the moment. I know a lot of that has to do with haste scaling -- I don't have a ton of haste yet. I have to pile up other stats first. I figure I'll be stabbing with alarming frequency later in the expansion. I do still seem to be doing all right on the damage charts however, and that aspect of rogue gameplay seems to be fine.
But man, I feel like I am being punished with the current item distribution. I can only wield daggers, and there is only one dagger in Mogu'shan Vaults. The other one is in Terrace of Endless Spring, which won't be out for weeks. It just feels like there are a lot of options out there for armor, but there is no option, no choice for weapon. That doesn't feel very fun to me.
@TLP_Barthilis asked via Twitter:
why do the factions not have propaganda? Imagine goblin strike team on a hill near sw bombing the city with leaflets.
Imagine if you will a quiet human farmstead in Elwynn Forest. The farmer there has lived through the war in Northrend, and returned home to retire, till the fields, and harvest crops. One day, he hears a knock at the door. Standing behind the door is a tauren who towers over the farmer by a good three feet. In his hands he holds a pamphlet. His voice is a gravelly dirge.
"Pardon me sir. Have you considered accepting Garrosh Hellscream as your Warchief and personal savior?"
Yeah, I don't think that's gonna go over so well.

Gun debate likely to intensify in NM Legislature
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The shooting deaths of five members of an Albuquerque family likely will intensify a debate in the Legislature over restrictions on firearms, lawmakers said Monday.
A 15-year-old boy was arrested in Saturday's shooting deaths of his parents, a brother and two younger sisters. A .22-caliber rifle and a semi-automatic military-style rifle, which were kept in the parents' closet, were used in the shootings, according to authorities.
House Speaker W. Ken Martinez, a Grants Democrat, said the Legislature may need to consider gun safety issues, such as providing assistance to people to buy trigger locks or other devices for securely storing firearms.
"Sometimes we look at everything from the point of view of just making it more criminal. The deterrent effect of making it more criminal doesn't do any good when Login to read more

Ireland Baldwin doesn't seem fazed by her dad's drama!
Alec Baldwin's gorgeous daughter is showing off her hot bikini bod in a series of snapshots that she posted on Instagram on Thursday.
"A happy and healthy morning with my love @slatertrout #thankful," she wrote.
The 18-year-old is clearly enjoying a day of fun in the sun with her beau Slater Trout, posing for pics as she laid in the sand in a cute yellow two piece by Frankies Bikinis.
The blonde beauty gave the swimwear line a shout out with the caption, "A special thank you to @francescaaiello for the amazing kinis #frankies."
While Ireland seems to be enjoying a day in paradise, Alec is dealing with major media drama.
The actor got himself in trouble yet again for using a homophobic slur against a member of the media.
In a video posted on TMZ on Thursday, Alec Baldwin went after two paparazzi he says were too close to his wife and child.
Maybe he could learn a lesson from his daughter … just relax and spend the day at the beach!

The Democrats' Epic Fail on Missile Defense
With a missile poised on the launch pad in North Korea, the Democrats take aim at the only spending they care to cut: defense.
June 18, 2009 - 12:07 am
As reported yesterday, Democrats in Congress, following the dictates of the Obama White House, are blocking efforts by House Republicans to restore $1.2B in cuts for missile defense programs. Republican Congressmen Trent Franks (R-AZ) and Michael Turner (R-OH) were in the forefront of the losing battle and talked to PJ Media about what Franks dubs the "profound lack of insight" in cutting programs at the very time that rogue states like North Korea and Iran are ramping up efforts to obtain and deploy nuclear weapons.
Franks says this is nothing new. "When Ronald Reagan first came up with the idea of a system to defend the country from nuclear attack rather than enact revenge, the liberal side did everything they could to make fun of him and criticize him, " he recalls. "Ever since, liberals have been committed to criticize or suppress missile defense — not on the basis of its efficacy but on political grounds. That's a tragedy."
Franks notes that during the campaign, Obama promised that he would reduce missile defense. The congressman observes that unfortunately "that is one of the few promises they have kept." Franks, borrowing the 1960s phrase, observes that the "whole world is watching" how America responds to rogue state threats. He declares that it concerns him greatly that we are not taking the opportunity to pursue viable missile defense strategies which would "devalue" nuclear weapons and thereby assist in non-proliferation efforts.
In the committee on Tuesday, Franks says that there was fulsome debate, but that Democrats are "forcing false choices" in defense spending to meet the White House's budgetary directives. With obvious frustration he declares, "We can find $787B to spend on unbelievable projects — $10B on environmental cleanup — but we couldn't find $1.2B for missile defense."
It was ironic, he says, that on the very day the president was meeting with the president of South Korea to declare that North Korea poses a "grave risk," the committee was meeting to cut missile defense. In fact, he read to his colleagues the wire report of the president's remarks, but the amendments to restore funding "lost on party line votes no matter what the logic and reason." He dubbed this "one of the greatest disappointments in my congressional life."
In particular, he points to airborne laser technology which will be reduced to no more than a research project if the Democratic cuts are not reversed. Franks contends, "This is a giant, giant paradigm shift that will someday be to missile defense what the silicon chip was to computers."

Dreaming an Impossible Dream
One of my personal little personality quirks is a deep sense of privacy. I mean, I'm civil enough, I suppose, but deep down, I don't really trust people very much, and I don't want them to know much about what I'm thinking or doing. For instance, because I have to attend meetings and take lots of notes, I don't want people to see what I'm writing. But, I also don't want to be the wierdo who's obviously guarding his notes from the prying eyes of the other meeting attendees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get into Funeral Service?
Each state has its own licensing regulations governing entry as a funeral director. Most require a combination of postsecondary education (typically
Associate Degree in Funeral Service Education), passage of the National Board Examination, and service as an apprentice for one or two years.
Do I have to go to college to become a funeral director?In most states the answer is
"Yes." The amount of college required varies from state to state with the Associate Degree in Funeral Service Education being the most typical. However, requirements vary from no
college to four years of college. Contact the licensing agency for the state in which you plan to work, or contact one of the accredited college programs for more information.
What about the job market in funeral service?On a national basis
there are generally more jobs available than there are licensed funeral directors to fill them. However, this varies from region to region and from town to town. Funeral service is a profession
that most people enter only after having had positive personal experience and not as a result of reading books or watching videos.
What type of person becomes a funeral director?People enter the funeral service profession
from a wide variety of backgrounds and possess a variety of motivations. The desire to be of assistance and to work in a human service profession motivates many individuals. Others view funeral
service as relatively "depression proof" and enter the profession after serving for a number of years in other careers. Approximately 51% of the funeral service graduates in 2003 were
women, with an average age of graduates in their upper 20s. Two thirds of graduates had no prior direct family relationship with funeral service.
How much will I earn?Salary varies from region to region, from urban to rural community, and
from small to large funeral homes. The overall national average in the decade of the 1990s has been in the mid to upper $20K range for newly licensed funeral directors. Starting salaries for new
funeral service licensees often closely approximate those of starting teachers in the same community.
How about working conditions in funeral service?You can expect to work a regular schedule of
hours plus additional hours in the evening and on certain weekends, either on call or in the funeral home. Funeral service is a 24 hour, 7 day per week profession, although the workload is spread
among all funeral home staff. While on duty the funeral director is expected to dress in business attire. Above all the funeral director must reflect a personable, sincere and professional manner.
How do funeral directors spend their time?A small percentage of the funeral directors'
time is spent preparing bodies. The overwhelming majority of time is spent working directly with families. For this reason funeral service is referred to as a "human service profession."
What subject areas comprise the Funeral Service Education curriculum? An Associate Degree or
its credit hour equivalent is required. This means that your academic program must consist of at least 60 semester (90 quarter) hours of academic course work. At least 25% of that course work
must be in general, non-technical education courses. Most programs also require the successful completion of practicum time within a funeral home. The curriculum in Funeral Service is comprised
of the following courses:
• Sciences, including micro-biology, pathology, chemistry, anatomy, embalming and restorative art
• Business, including small business management, funeral home management and computer skills
• Social Sciences, including history and sociology of funeral service, psychology of grief and bereavement counseling
• Law and Ethics, including business law, funeral service law and funeral service ethics
Is scholarship aid available?Scholarship aid is most often available through the financial
aid office of the college that you attend. The American Board of Funeral Service Education also offers a scholarship program for which you can apply after you have completed at least one term of
study in an accredited funeral service program. Awards from this program are either $250 or $500. Approximately one half of each years applicants are granted a scholarship. More information about
the ABFSE Scholarship Program is available in the Scholarship section of this website. In addition, you can obtain an application for a scholarship by writing to:

The completed application must be returned to ABFSE along with two essays, transcripts of all college courses attempted and a written recommendation. Deadlines are in
March and September each year. Click here for further information and deadlines. Your local state funeral directors association is also a potential source of financial aid.

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is a severe form of epilepsy. Seizures usually begin before 4 years of age. Seizure types, which vary among patients, include tonic (stiffening of the body, upward deviation of the eyes, dilation of the pupils, and altered respiratory patterns), atonic (brief loss of muscle tone and consciousness, causing abrupt falls), atypical absence (staring spells), and myoclonic (sudden muscle jerks). There may be periods of frequent seizures mixed with brief, relatively seizure-free periods. Most children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome experience some degree of impaired intellectual functioning or information processing, along with developmental delays, and behavioral disturbances. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome can be caused by brain malformations, perinatal asphyxia, severe head injury, central nervous system infection and inherited degenerative or metabolic conditions. In 30-35 percent of cases, no cause can be found.

What I Learned From My 2010 Reader Survey
Earlier this month, I conducted a Reader Survey. I previously conducted two Reader Surveys for my weekly newsletter, but this is the first time I conducted one since I started blogging daily and using Twitter, FaceBook and other social media tools.
You can see the survey questions here. You can see the survey results here. If you have never conducted a Reader Survey, I strongly encourage you to consider doing so. Even if you do not have a large readership, reaching out to the people who are giving you the privilege of connecting with them is a good idea. You will learn more about what is expected of you. You'll find out what is and is not relevant, and where you should focus your publishing efforts. Here's what I discovered through this process.
- Most people skim, then read. Most people skim through my posts, then decide which ones to read. I sense that I need to make my posts shorter so they can be skimmed more quickly. I will continue to publish longer commentary from time to time, especially when it comes to small business advocacy. But overall, I plan to make my posts shorter so you can skim faster for the information you need.
- Small business success is most popular. The topic of Small Business Success is by far my most popular, followed by Social Media, and then Leadership. Advocacy is next, and then Fitness.
- Fewer running journals. Several people commented that I needed to cut back on the Running Journals, so I have eliminated them. Here's the last one for the few people who might be missing them! Some people suggested I launch a personal blog, but I don't plan to do that anytime soon.
- More "how to" content. I will add more "how to" posts, in particular screencasts like this one showing you how to add the Reviews Tab to your FaceBook Page. I will also publish more articles sharing the stories of how other Indie Business owners are making their mark. Examples of articles like this are here and here.
I want to take a moment to thank everyone who took the time to take my Reader Survey. You can still take the survey, by the way, as I've left it open just in case you missed it the first time. You'll notice that, at the end, you can include your address to receive a free copy my my new print magazine when it launches later this year.
Question: Did I miss any important questions in my Reader Survey? If so, please tell me what they are so I can include them next time.

Kenyatta case: Trial commencement date vacated; Status conference to be held on 5 February
Trial Chamber V(b) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) vacated the trial commencement date of 5 February 2014 in the case of The Prosecutor v. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta.
The Trial Chamber will hold a status conference on Wednesday 5 February 2014 to address the issues raised by the parties and participants in relation to the Prosecution request for a 3-month adjournment.
On 12 December 2013, the ICC Prosecutor filed a Notification of the removal of a witness from the Prosecution's witness list and application for an adjournment of the provisional trial date, to which the Defence and the Legal representatives of victims subsequently replied in writing.
Mr Kenyatta is charged, as an indirect co-perpetrator, with five counts of crimes against humanity consisting of murder, deportation or forcible transfer, rape, persecution and other inhumane acts allegedly committed during the post-election violence in Kenya in 2007-2008. Charges were confirmed on 23 January 2012, and the case was committed to trial before Trial Chamber V(b).

The article Capital Ratios as Predictors of Bank Failure appears in the latest issue of the New York Feds Economic Policy Review.
In a study of ratios designed to assess capital adequacy, authors Arturo Estrella, Sangkyun Park, and Stavros Peristiani find that even simple ratios can be informative and useful in predicting bank failures. The study comes as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is engaged in an effort to refine the 1988 Basel Accord.
Estrella, Park, and Peristiani examine the effectiveness of three capital ratios in forecasting bank failure over different time frames. The risk-weighted ratio--the most complex of the three--compares a banks capital with its risk-weighted assets, as defined in the Basel Accord.
The leverage ratio and the gross revenue ratio are simpler to compute: the first compares capital with total assets and the second with total interest and noninterest income. The authors ask whether each ratio is useful for bank regulation and whether it is significantly related to subsequent bank failure.
Their analysis shows that:
Arturo Estrella is a senior vice president, Sangkyun Park an economist, and Stavros Peristiani a research officer at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

CLEARWATER BEACH, Fla. (WTSP) -- On Tuesday, Hulk Hogan and his girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel tied the knot at his home on Clearwater Beach, but it wasn't without some controversy.
The police were called after a fight broke out between a photographer and a Hogan family friend during the ceremony. A police report was filed, but nobody was arrested.
On Thursday the photographer, 35-year-old Robert "Bobby" Martinez, released the video of the incident that was supposed to be his "world exclusive."
With his attorney at his side, he says he was offered about $20,000 for the short 23 second long clip of the confrontation by at least two different media outlets, but decided to release it without pay instead.
"Bobby just wants to make it clear he is not trying to get money out of this incident," said his attorney, John F. McGuire.
Martinez says he doesn't plan to press charges and says its not about the money; he just doesn't want people to think they can get away with assaulting him.
Martinez estimates the incident, which he called a "world exclusive," lost him as much as $500,000 in money he could have made by selling the wedding video... had he captured it.
"This guy, by attacking me, took food off the table from my children. That's an easy way to put it," said Martinez.
Martinez contends he at no time stepped on private property as he tried to capture the very private moment. "I've been doing this for seven years. I pretty much know not to go on private property."
But, the police report notes Martinez appeared to in fact be on private property during the incident and that the officer advised him to "do more research before videotaping or photographing in the City of Clearwater."
"I felt I was done wrong by the police officers," he said.
READ: Clearwater Police's report of the incident (PDF)
The man seen in the video waving away Martinez's camera is Ron Howard, a family friend of the Hulk Hogan.
Howard tells 10 News he asked Martinez several times to leave before the incident.
"He had been all over the private property quite a bit when I had noticed him," he said.
"It was a disturbance to the wedding, they were in the middle of their vows," said Howard.
Howard says the Hogans were more focused on their vows than the wedding crasher.
"It was a non-issue. They were just happy that I wasn't hurt throughout the ordeal," he told 10 News.
There were a few scary moments for him when Martinez is heard on the video saying he had a gun.
Martinez was not armed and explained why he said that, "I made that comment because someone was shoving me and trying to attack me and break my camera. My greatest concern was getting that shot."
Martinez says he takes pride in maintaining a low profile while on the job.
"In almost seven years, I have never had a physical altercation until this Tuesday and this past Tuesday," said Martinez.
That second incident he is referring to involved a scuffle with the father of baseball star Derek Jeter.
See Also: Derek Jeter's dad accused of battery
Martinez says he was on the road and off private property when Jeter's father came after him.
Criminal charges have not been filed in either case, or by either side.
However, Martinez and his attorney say they would like to speak with Mr. Jeter and Ron Howard to come up with some sort of resolution.
When asked what that resolution would be, both men said they didn't know, but it wouldn't involve money.
We also asked why he decided to come forward and speak with the media. He told us he wanted to comment after getting numerous phone calls from reporters.
But, also hinted at another motive...
"This isn't the end of my career, sadly, it's the launch of another career."
When asked by 10News to elaborate, he smiled and replied, "I really don't want to discuss that."
He wouldn't budge with an answer when pressed again.
But, Howard and his attorney have an idea what it may all be about.
"I think it's all just a profit for himself," said Howard.
Disclosure: Bobby Martinez has done some freelance for work for 10 News in the past.

Latest features
Albania things to see and do
Don't miss the ancient city of Butrint (www.butrint.org), with archaeological remains spanning 2,500 years. Embark on one of the suggested walks or take a boat trip around the park.
Cycle through the Gramoz mountains from Korça to Përmeti. Allow time to enjoy the dramatic views and sample the food in the restaurants along the way.
See interesting and accessible archaeological sites, such as the abandoned city of Apollonia and the Roman amphitheatre in Durrësi. Byllis is a little harder to get to, but well worth the effort.
Explore the Ottoman cities of Gjirokastra and Berati, with their unique domestic architecture and their imposing hilltop castles.
Hike in Albania's magnificent mountains. The two areas with the best infrastructure (in terms of accommodation, guides etc) are the Albanian Alps in the far north and the Tomorri massif in the southeast. Outdoor Albania (www.outdooralbania.com) organises hiking, skiing and mountain-biking tours throughout the country.
Make the easy day trip from Tirana to the family seat of Albania's 15th-century hero, Skanderbeg. Within the medieval castle's walls are two interesting museums. The restored Ottoman bazaar just outside the castle offers the best souvenir-shopping in Albania.
Take the ferry up the jade waters of Lake Komani, hemmed in on both sides with towering cliffs. Look out for pygmy cormorants, herons and golden eagles.
Built before the Roman conquest, this castle in Shkodra was last used for military purposes as recently as 1913. Rozafa was the last fortress in Albania to fall to the Ottomans, in 1479.
Sights include the murals and statues in the city centre, the house where Enver Hoxha lived and the Pyramid, built as his mausoleum. Afterwards, take a bus or taxi up to the Martyrs' (partisans') Cemetery, with its statue of Mother Albania.
The national collections of religious art, in Tirana, Korça and Berati, contain wonderful icons painted by the 16th-century artist Onufri and his successors in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Admire the vibrant colours of the frescoes in Albania's little-known churches. Voskopoja, near Korça, was once the largest city in the Balkans, full of churches and basilicas, and with its own academy where artists were trained.
Go white-water rafting through the spectacular canyons of the Osumi River. Outdoor Albania (www.outdooralbania.com) has qualified and experienced guides, or the Castle Park Hotel in Berati organises rafting weekends.
