A host of Hollywood script writers, O. Henry and Agatha Christie could not have collaborated on a more thrilling, unexpected or dramatic home opener for our new Missouri Mavericks Central Hockey League team.
A host of Hollywood script writers, O. Henry and Agatha Christie could not have collaborated on a more thrilling, unexpected or dramatic home opener for our new Missouri Mavericks Central Hockey League team.
I had almost as much fun taking in their first game at the marvelous Independence Events Center as I did watching former Examiner intern Matt Gerstner, a big-time hockey fan whose enthusiasm for the team gushed into the press box.
If the 5,760 fans in attendance had as much fun as Matt and I did, they're going to come back for more.
"When we wrote the script for this one, that's just how we thought it would end," joked Mavericks coach Scott Hillman, who pushed all the right buttons as his team claimed a 3-2 shootout victory over the a Wichita Thunder team that will become the Mavs' big rival – playing the same role the Oakland Raiders or Denver Broncos play to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Hillman's squad trailed much of the game, but the newest member of the team scored the biggest goal of the season when Jeff MacDermid knotted the score at 2-2 at 15:15 of the third period (please see game story on B1).
Following a scoreless overtime period, Chad Hinz, MacDermid and Bill Vandermeer all scored goals while goaltender Doug Groenestege stopped all three Thunder shots to send the fans home begging for more.
"The coach would have liked a bit less excitement," said Hillman, "but I know the fans loved it."
And so did I.
I'd seen a few hockey games over the years, but was never really a fan of the sport. You can't catch the flavor and excitement on television and Kemper Arena and the old American Royal were awful venues for a sport that needs intimacy.
The Independence Events Center and the Mavericks are going to be like a match made in heaven. As I walked into the new arena Friday night, I was greeted by more than a dozen familiar faces – all waiting to check out the new hockey team.
And I'm betting that most of them will return for Saturday night's game against the same Thunder squad.
You want to talk about drama?
A shootout is unique, almost like a gunfight at high noon in an old western. Only one opponent is left standing, and Groenestege's brilliance in the net and Hillman's canny selection of players played a huge role in the victory.
"You can't think too much while you're in a shootout, or a game, for that matter," said Groenestege, who is 3-0 against the Thunder this season and 9-0 in his career. "In a shootout, you don't bite on the first fake and you make sure you react when they take the shot.
Page 2 of 2 - "That way, you put the pressure on the shooter. When they missed the first attempt, it gave us a big advantage."
That's when team scoring leader Chad Hinz slipped the puck past Thunder goaltender Scott Campbell for a 1-0 lead.
MacDermid and Bill Vandermeer followed with goals while Groenestege blanked the Thunder shootout marksmen to set off a wild celebration on center ice and in the stands.
"This is what we dreamed about," general manager Brent Thiessen said. "I'm so happy for Scott, the boys and our fans."
When asked about his selection of shootout participants, Hillman said, "It's just a gut feeling. I could see it in their eyes – those were the guys I wanted out there."
Had the Thunder scored a goal or two, the shootout would have gone to five shooters, and Hillman said, "I'm not going to say who would have shot next. I like to leave you guessing."
Guessing and smiling.
That's what I was doing when I left the Events Center, and I'm counting the minutes until Saturday's game. I must admit – and I talked this over with Hillman, Thiessen and Co., I hated to miss Blue Springs High School's dramatic 23-21 playoff victory at Rockhurst Friday night.
It's the first time I've missed that battle of the Titans – and many of the Mavericks staff were a bit surprised to find out I was covering their game rather than the prep classic.
"I know how much that game meant to you," Hillman said as he tried to wind down following his team's victory. "I'm just glad we were able to give you something good to write about."
Good to write about?
How about, great to write about. Heck, I'm still smiling.

China Warns US to Stay Out of South China Sea Dispute
Clinton Comments Fuel Accusations of 'Taking Sides'
Chinese Foreign Ministry officials have warned the US to stay out of the ongoing territorial disputes within the South China Sea, saying that they are "not helpful" and accusing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of taking sides in recent comments.
Which of course Clinton and the rest of the Obama Administration have been doing. The islands and maritime claims are split between China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Taiwan, and the US has endorsed the claims of all the others at the expense of China.
Though the islands are virtually all uninhabited, they are sitting on top of some valuable resources, including oil deposits, leaving each nation scrambling to assert their claims. China has upgraded their claims in the region to a "military garrison."
Speaking yesterday in Indonesia, Clinton pushed for nations to "move quickly" to resolve the claims in the region. The Philippines in particular are a dicey case for the US, as Philippines officials claim the US is obliged to enforce their claims in the region militarily.

Can you believe it? Do we have one nation in the world that is prepared to defy the U.S.? Tell me I'm dreaming!
Yes, the global bully has been warned and it's not before time. More nations need to stand up to the U.S., tell it to rack off, tell it to return to its own borders and stay there and mind its own business.
Will it listen? Probably not. But when the whole world turns against it, it will have no choice!
The american inbreed idiots who are prepared to fight for israel or the corporate banksters would be much better off staying (alive i guess) in their local crack houses….
You wrote everything that I wanted to say. I couldn't agree more.
Yes David, and that will help Americans get their freedoms back.
And according to Scott Horton´s terrific interview with Thomas Mountain, the US is getting into deep shit in South Saharan Africa.
Another deep irony — "China" originally staked out these claims when it was Nationalist China and the US endorsed this claim when it was made. The other claimants then were France (Indochina) and Britain (Malaysia colony). We were siding with China against the old colonial powers, with the idea of taking the China Market as the sympathetic representative of post colonial transition (despite our missionary meddling that was so resented). Didn't work out that way, and now we are rallying everyone we spurned to overthrow the idea we created.
Clinton and the Obama administration would be wise to accept that advice. But like every idiot administration since the demise of the USSR, this one believes all its problems will be solved by Cold War II against a credible enemy. Well, there may be a lot of countries pissed off with the US, but there's a decided dearth of enemies posing a credible threat.
There are an increasing number of Americans who are wary of the US Department of Threat Inflation, and I hope that number keeps growing. Since I seem to be shilling for Mike Lofgren's book these days, here's what he has to say about that:
"Deliberate threat inflation, based in part on serious intelligence failures, has been the genesis of wasted billions. China-as-military-threat is again in vogue at the Pentagon and in Congress, though the Iranian bogeyman currently has the upper hand. There is a threat from China, but it comes not from the rust-bucket aircraft carrier it bought from Russia. China now owns about $ 1 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities— 36 percent of all foreign holdings. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), China is poised to pass the United States in gross domestic product by 2016. That is the real threat we face, not death rays and stealth air fleets."

Laaga Chunari Mein Daag : Movie Review
12th Oct 2007 21.36 IST
By Naresh Kumar Deoshi
Laaga Chunari Mein Daag is a sentimental, tear-jerking saga with good performances and a few glitches.
If you have got a taste for extended soap operas, you would find Pradeep Sarkar's movie eminently watchable. The film is packed with emotions - both pleasant and turbulent. The protagonist at the centre of the story is a woman who sacrifices her own good for the better of her family.
No, it is not one of those regressive tales of self-sacrificing Bhartiya nari. Rather, the movie is a fairly well told, well crafted, visually rich, and quite credible story which you can easily empathize with. The only thing is - it is tad depressing. And the director takes a few liberties with the screenplay in the second half (at the fag end), making the entire story look like a farce.
The movie begins with a song (quite expected of a Yashraj presentation) on the banks of Ganga in Varanasi. We are introduced to two laughing, joyfully dancing girls - Badki ( Rani Mukherjee ) and Chutki ( Konkona Sen Sharma ), and their retired, pension-less father ( Anupam Kher ) and glum mother ( Jaya Bachchan ).
Their once palatial haveli is now in shambles, gradually collapsing due to lack of maintenance. While the father spends his money on lottery tickets (hoping for a stroke of good luck), the mother is apparently resigned to her fate. She grinds herself on a sewing machine to make ends meet for the family.
The family has no son, and that is the father's regret. If only Badki had been Bada beta, the family would not have been bullied by the dopey uncle (Tinu Anand) and his muscle-flexing son (Sushant Singh) who are fighting a legal battle over the haveli's possession.
The family finds itself pushed in financial crisis when the father's health goes down. Badki, a silent witness to her mother's constant struggle, decides to go to Mumbai to search for a job.
In Mumbai, Badki finds herself not qualified for any good job. To make matters worse, she is under increasing pressure to send some money home. Then, she gets an indecent proposal. What follows is her descent into a whirlpool from which there seems no escape, not even returning back home.
'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag' can be called a story of three women. Of course, the focus is primarily on Rani's character, Konkona and Jaya Bachchan too have ample footage in the narrative.
With Badki's financial contribution, Chutki (Konkona) does her MBA and comes to Mumbai to work in a marketing company where she meets Vivaan ( Kunal Kapoor ). The two eventually end up falling in love.
On the other hand, Jaya Bachchan is shown as a mute spectator to the household's newfound prosperity from Badki's blood money. Her conscience is not at peace, knowing well Badki's sacrifice and fall from grace.
The Abhishek Bachchan track seems deliberately squeezed into the narrative. His entry and disappearance in the first half is sudden. His re-entry in the second half is too coincidental.
Rani's performance in the film is at par with her set standard, but she offers nothing stellar. Konkona Sen, on the other hand, is simply superb. She is a natural. In fact, there is a scene in the film where she even towers over Rani. It is when she learns Rani's truth and breaks down in front of her.
Jaya Bachchan is a master of her craft. She speaks with her expressions. Kunal Kapoor is a delight to watch. His character is lighthearted, and Kunal plays it with conviction. Abhishek Bachchan is okay. Anupam Kher is passable. Sushant Singh is good.
To sum it up, 'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag' is a fairly watchable film. Its story has an emotive appeal, its music is non-intrusive and cinematography is enchanting.
However, director Pradeep Sarkar falters at many places in between. Firstly, he does not develop Abhishek's character enough. Even the bad guys - Sushant Singh and Tinu Anand - make fleeting appearances in the narrative. And then, at the film's fag end, the director twists the proceedings to the story's convenience as he hastily brings a happy ending to the otherwise sad story.
Recommended to those who like tear jerkers.

|Treatment of intracorporeal injection nonresponse with sildenafil alone or in combination with triple agent intracorporeal injection therapy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10569554 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PURPOSE: We assess the efficacy of sildenafil as salvage therapy for intracorporeal injection therapy nonresponse. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study group comprised 93 patients with a mean age of 53.6 years (range 24 to 77) with chronic erectile dysfunction. In all cases a home trial of intracavernosal injection of high dose alprostadil and triple agent intracavernosal injection therapy had failed. Patients were treated with sildenafil citrate alone or in combination with intracavernosal injection therapy. RESULTS: The etiology of erectile dysfunction was arteriogenic in 29 cases, cavernosal venous leakage in 36, mixed vasculogenic in 24, psychogenic in 3 and post-priapism intracavernous fibrosis in 1. Of the 32 sildenafil responders (34% of the study group) 30 required 100 and 2 required 50 mg. The 29 sildenafil intracavernosal injection (combined therapy) responders (31% of the study group) required 100 mg. sildenafil. There were 32 nonresponders (34% of the study group). Mean International Index of Erectile Function questions 3 and 4 scores were 1.7 and 1.5 at baseline, 2.3 and 1.9 with intracavernosal injection, 4.6 and 42.2 with sildenafil, and 4.1 and 4.10 with combined therapy, respectively. Of the 93 patients 29 (31%) treated with intracavernosal injection reported adverse effects, including penile pain in 27, dizziness in 5 and headache in 2. Of the patients treated with sildenafil 34 (37%) reported side effects, including headache in 30, facial flushing in 25, dyspepsia in 12, nasal congestion in 9, dizziness in 5 and visual disturbances in 1. Of the 41 patients given combined therapy 20 (49%) reported adverse effects, including penile pain in 15, headache in 15, facial flushing in 12, dyspepsia in 7, nasal congestion in 3, dizziness in 12 and syncope in 1. CONCLUSIONS: Sildenafil alone or sildenafil plus intracavernosal injection is effective salvage therapy for intracavernosal injection nonresponse. Sildenafil in combination with intracavernosal injection is associated with a 33% incidence of adverse effects, including a 20% incidence of dizziness.

HYANNIS — The Barnstable police on Tuesday were focused on finding a man who allegedly assaulted and robbed a Pennsylvania couple Sunday evening in their motel room on Main Street, according to Barnstable Police Chief Paul MacDonald.
At around 8:30 p.m. Sunday, the man pushed his way into a second-floor room at Americas Best Value Inn & Suites at 206 Main St., following Michael McGowan, 78, who had taken a stroll around the parking lot, according to McGowan, his wife Arlene, 77, and the police.
The two men fought between the beds and Arlene McGowan yelled for help outside on the balcony, the couple said. When no one responded, Arlene McGowan said, she returned to the room, where the man showed her a tip of a knife and then ran off with her purse. At that point, she called 911 to summon the police.
Michael McGowan had scratches on his left forearm and a sore right shoulder, he said Monday afternoon in the motel room. He declined to be taken to the hospital after the incident.
"This is a very rare occasion," MacDonald said Tuesday. "I can't think of the last time this has happened." The downtown Hyannis area is the most heavily patrolled area in Southeastern Massachusetts, he said.
The police are "completely canvassing the area," MacDonald said. "We do expect to close this with an arrest."
The police found McGowan's purse Monday and returned it to her with credit cards but without the cash. The amount of cash was not large, according to Barnstable police Sgt. Sean Sweeney.
The alleged intruder is burly and about 5 feet 10 inches, with dark hair and a round face, according to the police and Arlene McGowan. He wore jeans and a light-colored tank top, and he has a tanned or dark skin tone, police said.
The 84-room motel is on the eastern end of a 1�-mile stretch of downtown Hyannis that has many restaurants, retail stores and lodging places along with Barnstable Town Hall and the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum. The motel has drive-up entrances to the rooms, which form a U shape around the parking lot.
The property is owned by J&J Quality Holdings LLC of Newton, according to town records.
The company's resident agent, Alan Chan, did not return a call Tuesday for comment. An innkeeper who declined to give his name Monday said he heard a woman's "abnormal" scream Sunday evening but thought it may have been a domestic dispute and returned to the front desk to check the room registry. The innkeeper said he saw a man leave the parking lot but the man did not look suspicious. The innkeeper said he did not call the police.
"We encourage people when in doubt to call the police," Massachusetts Lodging Association Chief Executive Director Paul Sacco said Tuesday of the association's advice to its members and other lodging owners. "I get calls all the time. On any issue, if they have doubt or if someone is threatening you or there seems to be something amiss, call the police right away. That's the appropriate thing."
The McGowans were scheduled to return home Tuesday.

I'm So In Love With You But What Do I do?
I'm in love with you,
Your all I can think about,
I cant sleep,
I cant eat,
I feel so helpless without you,
I love you more than anything,
But do you feel the same way,
You wont tell me how you really feel,
All you say is you should know,
I wont to be loved,
All I wont is for you just to tell me that I am all you can think about,
Can you just tell me how you feel,
I cant stand not knowing any longer,
Because I love you more than anything,
But I think that maybe in long run we are a lot alike,
I cant tell you how I feel too,
I don't wont you to know,
Because if you do,
Than I will be setting myself up for a fall,
I don't wont to be broken anymore,
I think I understand,
You may feel the same way that I do,
You don't wont to set your self up for a fall,
Well let me tell you now there will never be a chance for that,
Because I love you more than anything I just don't know what to do,
I wish I knew how you felt about me!!!

(MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS) - The holiday season is upon us. It is a time for family, friends, and weight gain. The average American will increase their caloric intake by 600 calories a day, or a total of 6 pounds, between Thanksgiving and the New Year. I realize with our busy lifestyle it is very difficult to exercise, but add the holidays and many find exercise a lesser (or less important) priority as the holiday to-do list grows. The last thing we need is to add more stress and, for many, trying to get to the gym does just that. But, on the other hand, staying active in some way will give you more energy, reduce stress, and help burn up some of the extra 600 calories you may be eating. If you have 5 minutes a couple times a day try this whole-body workout.
· Squat Jumps: Bend the knees and lower the body down into a squatting position, then jump as high you can. Repeat for 1 minute.
· Bear Crawl to a Push Up: Squat down to the floor and walk the hands out to a plank position. Do a push up, on knees or toes, walk the hands back and stand up. Repeat for 1 minute.
· One-Legged Deadlift: Balance on one leg with arms straight down by your side. Bend at the hips to bring the torso parallel to the floor while lifting the back leg straight up. Repeat for 30 seconds and then switch legs.
· Burpees: Squat and place your hands on the floor. Jump your feet back into a plank (push-up) position. Jump your feet back in under the body and stand up. Repeat the activity for 1 minute.
· Bridge With Leg Lift: Lie on your back and straighten the right leg. Bridge on your back and lift the right leg straight up. Return to starting position and switch legs. Repeat for 1 minute.
Try this full body exercise program to help keep the holiday weight gain to a minimum.

Finding the Next Steve Jobs by Nolan Bushnell with Gene Stone
A few years back I was fortunate to get to hear Nolan Bushnell (@nolanbushnell) speak at Radio Inks Convergence gathering and I found him a compelling and unique character.
Nolan founded Atari and the Chuck E. Cheese company among other ventures, and along the way he launched the career of Steve Jobs -- so he knows a lot about building a creative cast of characters.
In his great new book, Mr. Bushnell lays out some specific actions that he has used over the years, along with emulating what some others have done successfully in finding, keeping, and nurturing great talent.
His ideas are simple but brilliant, and the thought process translates to any business, including radio.
Nolan starts with the following two sentences, which makes a great opening to his thought process: Atari didnt find Steve Jobs. We made it easy for him to find us. A good company is a 24/7 advertisement for itself.
Throughout the book, Nolan relies on the notion of creative environment and quirky flexibility to let creative be themselves. Rules become a barrier to creative types and, according to Nolan, must be re-evaluated depending on the organization.
From Steve Jobs being allowed to sleep overnight at the office, to work places encouraging writing on whiteboards, easels, or even the wall itself, Nolan encourages us to think dramatically different to foster creative types.
Mr. Bushnell also acknowledges that every single day throughout the world of business truly creative ideas are being mercilessly killed. Each one deserves a moment of mourning.
His remedy is an action worth considering in whatever facet of the business you are in: make people write down objections. His belief is that when people write critiques with their name attached, it forces them to take responsibility for their negative opinions.
The book also gives some great focus on how to dig deeper when interviewing prospective talent.
He likes the notion of mixing up the typical line of interview questions with odd questions, weird or random questions just to see how prospective employees think on their feet.
Some examples from Nolan:
-- What is the most annoying thing in your life? (His favorite answer: This question.)
-- Why do track events run counterclockwise?
-- If a baseball player hits a homerun over the fence but then dies before running the bases does the home run count? (Yes -- if a pinch runner takes his place)
Nolan Bushnells book Finding the Next Steve Jobs gives you a delightfully spirited road map to mixing it up and coming out with successful talent.

The Springfield News-Leader's Every Child public-service journalism project hopes to focus public attention on critical challenges facing children. A panel of community leaders and volunteers has been involved and is advising us.
As part of our special attention to child safety in the first quarter of this year, we have talked to those in the trenches who are trying to protect, help or counsel children. Upcoming stories, during the second quarter of the year, will focus on issues surrounding the health of children.
For previous stories and for more background, go to News-Leader.com/
They tend to fly under the radar, get good grades and participate in school and church activities.
They have rarely been in trouble before.
But the children and teens who end up in the Greene County Juvenile Office for sex offenses often tell investigators they have experienced abuse or severe trauma themselves. That can include severe neglect and witnessing extreme violence.
This kind of troubled past is recounted, officials say, in more than 85 percent of cases.
A significant number have been victims themselves, said Dustin Hathcock, a Greene County deputy juvenile officer. This is one of the hardest things to talk about. Part of what we do is try to peel back the layers to find out what happened and we dont always get there. Some of them are so shut off.
Its so common that the juvenile office came up with a term to describe youth have have been in the system as both a victim and offender. Theyre referred to as crossover.
In some cases, they were the victim in an abuse or neglect case opened years earlier. In others, they get caught offending and then divulge a history of abuse.
Officials will follow up on allegations of abuse whenever possible but there are situations when too much time has passed and evidence is scarce or nonexistent.
Probation Officer Morgan Galloway works with the sexually harmful youth population. She said while she has compassion for juveniles who have been traumatized, it doesnt change what theyve done.
This is going to sound really harsh but I feel like when they turn 17, nobody is going to care that they were victimized, she said. Im doing them the best service to be black and white with the rules and yet be sensitive to their needs. But, Im not going to give them any breaks.
Galloway said many of the juveniles in her caseload fly under the radar in school and the community because they arent troublemakers.
Some of these families, nothing like this has ever happened, she said. Its another reason why when we tell these parents that their child has done something thats awful and horrible to another kid, theyre going But, hes such a good kid. Hes never done anything wrong.
She said about 10 percent of her caseload involves juveniles who struggle to understand what they did was wrong due to mental health or disability issues. Many others who are accused, however, appear to be successful and even trustworthy.
For the most part, they have all of their life worked out, which is what makes them scary, she said.
In contrast, many of the juveniles who enter the system for traditionally delinquent offenses such as assaults to stealing also have interrelated issues such as substance abuse and problems in school.
The thing thats unique about this caseload is that typically, this is the only thing going on with the kid. Its a very interesting dynamic, said Susan Cox, probation supervisor for the juvenile office. With these kids, this is the issue.
Cox said the juvenile office occasionally receives referrals for children as young as 6 and 7 but while theres no minimum age for sexually harmful youth, the office typically turns to the states Childrens Division to provide services for children under age 10.
There has to be culpability, she said. Its hard to say that a kid under age 10 fully understands the issues.
The youngest person in Galloways current caseload just turned 12 and the oldest is 18. She can work with a person up to age 21 if the offense happened before he or she turned 17.
The majority of the sexually harmful youth tend to be male but the females, while smaller in numbers, tend to commit serious offenses.
All of the girls on my caseload are the victim of severe trauma. Thats a definite trend with my girls, Galloway said, declining to provide examples. The trauma theyve experienced is extensive and would make your stomach turn.

Christie seeks 100% FEMA reimbursement for Sandy
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 12/03/2012 @ 11:44 pm In Money,Politics,U.S. | No Comments
(REUTERS) — New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is asking the federal government to reimburse the state for 100 percent of emergency costs for at least 90 days after Superstorm Sandy swept ashore on October 29.
In a letter to the Federal Emergency Management Agency dated November 30 and released on Monday, Christie said the economic damage from the storm could be nearly $40 billion.
FEMA generally reimburses states for 75 percent of emergency clean-up and repair costs from natural disasters. The agency can cover more, but state officials must ask for the relief.

- Filed Under
Authorities have identified the two men killed in separate shootings in Camden on Tuesday.
Sherron Coleman, 19, was found in the area of the 1200 block of South Octagon Road around 7 p.m., police said. He had been shot multiple times. EMS took Coleman to Cooper University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Then around 10 p.m., officers were called to the area of 27th Street and Arthur Avenue, where Anibal Torres, 23, was found shot several times inside a silver car that was partially blocking the intersection.
Torres was also taken to Cooper, where he was pronounced dead at 10:24 p.m.
The shootings do not appear to be related, authorities said.
Coleman and Torres are the 7th and 8th homicides in the city this year. Camden has recorded six homicides in February, most recently on Feb. 19, when 23-year-old Rajan Jefferson was shot on the 1500 block of Louis Street.

WTO Chief Says Buy American Legislation Complies With World Trade Rules
James A. Morrissey, Washington Correspondent
Pascal Lamy, director-general of the World Trade Organization (WTO), says the Buy American
provisions in the US government's economic stimulus package have been structured in such a way that
they do not violate global trade rules. While deploring protectionist measures in general, Lamy
believes the Buy Amercan law is consistent with the US WTO obligations because it presents some
opportunities for other countries to share in the expanded public works projects funded under the
bill. He did not comment on the new requirements for the Transportation Security Agency and perhaps
eventually for some other Department of Homeland Security agencies, to buy US-made uniforms and
other textile products, but US textile officials believe they comply with terms of the WTO
Government Procurement Agreement.
Lamy made a strong appeal for resumption of the Doha Round of trade liberalization negotiations but said this will have to await formation of the new administration's trade team. He said the Doha Round is the "best insurance policy available" to combat protectionist pressures.

One New York senator is demanding an apology from Lil Wayne for dissing his state.
Weezy has not had the best experiences in New York. It's where he was locked up for the better part of a year as he served his sentence for gun charges…that he got after doing a show in New York.
Adding insult to injury, a Hot 97 DJ dissed Nicki Minaj at SummerJam, where she was scheduled to perform.
"Flat out: I don't like New York," Wayne told MTV News, acknowledging that he did have at least one good experience while performing there last week. "As far as last week, though, last week was awesome. I think everything happens for a reason."
Well, it seemed that the comments rubbed Sen. Malcolm A. Smith the wrong way and TMZ.com reports that he is demanding an apology!
"He's insulting people like Jay-Z … Frank Sinatra," Malcolm said. "Quite frankly we're not gonna let someone come here and make a living off all the New Yorkers and tourists here and then basically say, 'I don't like New York.'"

Last week, the Corsica community was in shock after a devastating storm changed the look of their town. On Saturday, people were working hard to get their town back to normal.
Troy Bordewik and his family are cleaning up the fallen branches and trees on his property. They were south of Corsica when the storm first hit.
"Just had wind and that out there so we weren't expecting too much in town until we got back here, started noticing a lot more damage," Troy Bordewik said.
David Scholten is also dealing with damage. His grandkids are playing soccer in his backyard, but the front of his home is full of holes after being blasted by hail during the storm.
"The first thing I did was I went to my insurance agent and they sent out, they promised to send out an estimator and that happened Wednesday so we're moving forward getting ready to look for a contractor," David Scholten said.
The homeowners dealing with different damage say the City has responded to the disaster. Twice this week, the City's rubble site opened for free for people to bring in their storm-damaged trees. Homeowners say the city's workers have made putting the storm behind them easier.
"City people have been doing pretty good. Helping clean up the debris and stuff too so they came around pretty quickly so they've done quite a bit," Bordewik said.
"Everybody's buckled down and did stuff. Equipment's out there picking up trees, branches, leaves, and doing very well. I'm happy with our little town's city office they did great," Scholten said.
And Corsica residents know that despite the damage, it could have been much worse.
"We didn't have it quite as bad as Stickney did. They got hit a little harder than we did I think, but the damage is done and now it's time to get everything fixed," Bordewik said.

Chapter 2
Getting out of here
I heard the door slam and the sound of Sandy waking up from her nap. I ended up napping myself after that bath I had. I went into the living room and Brian is holding Sandy and she is pinching his nose and he laughed at her. He is a pure dick head to me and treats me like shit, but he really does love his daughter. "So, um, how was work?" I asked him almost in a monotone.
"Normal as usual, did you do your shopping already?" Brian asked
me as he sat Sandy down on the floor and gave her a few toys to
play with.
"Yeah, but Brian, I cannot stay in this house all day long. I
would like to start taking Sandy to the park and let her meet new
kids her age and talk to other mother's." Brian looked at me and
then looked at Sandy playing with her doll.
"I guess you can do that, but if I heard about any funny
business, I swear you will get punished," he said and I sighed
and nodded. Brian almost makes me not want to go anywhere. I went
to the kitchen and began cooking dinner. I chopped some onions
when I accidentally cut my finger. "FUCK!" I yelled and jerked
back. Brian came in and he seen the bloody knife and me running
the water on my finger.
"What the fuck did you do?" Brian yelled and I looked back and he
looks very mad for some reason.
"I cut myself by accident. Why are you mad about that?" I said
and he walked over and pulled my hair.
"You fucking idiot, where did you learn to cook? Your stank of a
"As a matter of fact, I did! You know it was only me and her my
whole life!"
"Cause your mom was a hooker!"
"MY MOM IS NOT A HOOKER AND NEVER WAS!" I screamed and my little
girl began to cry. I pushed my way passed Brian and grabbed her
and shushed her. "Sorry baby girl for yelling like that. Mommy
didn't mean it!" I said and Sandy calmed down. I sat her down and
handed her doll back and went back to the kitchen. Before I can
even get to start cleaning up the blood, Brian punched my
stomach. He has never punched me! It hurts so bad and I kneeled
down and held my stomach, hoping the pain will go away soon.
"Fucking bitch, screaming and scaring Sandy like that!" Brian
said and slapped me.
"Brian, please quit it!" I cried out in pain and fear.
"Jamie, you need to be punished for what you do wrong. If I hear
that you are talking to a guy in the park, it will be much worse
than punching you in a stomach." Brian walked off and I sat on
the floor and began to cry. I have had it! Sandy cannot be raised
around Brian and me getting abused everyday. It will only get
worse, he will probably kill me. I need to start making a plan to
get out of here!
I took Sandy to the nearest park and it has a track for runners
and a playground for the children. I put Sandy in the sandbox and
she started to smile. Another woman placed her son around the
same age as Sandy beside her. "Hello, can Vince play with your
little girl?" she asked me and I nodded.
"Sandy would love a play partner!" I said and we went and sat
down. Vince, her son, kept giving her toys to play with and Sandy
is too modest to take them. "This is the first time she has been
around children her age, or any children," I said and the woman
"Oh sorry, I am Devlin Banks, what is your name?" Devlin said and
I grinned.
"Jamie Day," I said and she smiled.
"So, you married?"
"To an ass hole, I am going to try and get a divorce." I decided
about the divorce last night. I think we have been together for
too long and Brian needs to go out. I will let him see Sandy as
much as he wants, but the abuse needs to stop.
"I am sorry, I am recently divorced myself. My ex cheated on me
with about twenty women in our three years of marriage. I thought
Vince would stop his cheating, but he didn't stop. What is your
husband doing to you? That lip looks very nasty."
"Might as well tell you, he hits me and our daughter hears it
all," I said and I looked over at Sandy and she is smiling and
giggling at Vince.
"Oh My God, if you need a place to stay, I know we just met, but
you and Sandy can stay with me!"
"Hopefully he won't freak out about me wanting a divorce and give
me money to find a place, but thanks anyways."
"The offer is still up!" I looked at Devlin and she is a very
beautiful woman. She is the same age as me at twenty-four, blonde
hair and blue eyes and model skinny. I looked at the runners
running behind me and I seen a very familiar face.
"Well, well, well, hello Jamie!" Daniel said and he stopped and
stood behind us.
"Hey Daniel, exercising this morning?" I asked and he
"How is the married life?"
"She is going to get a divorce!" Devlin said and he looked at me
and gave me a puzzled look.
"I remembered the way you acted yesterday when you talked about
your marriage so I am glad your getting out of it."
"Well, lets see how he reacts to it."
He didn't like the idea too much. After he came home from work, I
put Sandy down for a short nap because in case he went berserk on
me. He sure did. "What the fuck, what do you mean you want a
divorce?" Brian yelled and I covered my face as he tried to slap
me. He didn't slap me, he punched me which caused me to spit out
a tooth and bleed more than usual.
"I cannot stand this anymore, Brian. I want us to work out for
Sandy, but I just can't anymore. I fear for my and Sandy's life.
We cannot be together!" I said and he punched me in my stomach
and grabbed me by my hair and dragged me to the bedroom. He
slammed the door and he slapped me probably five times before he
even uttered a word.
"What if I don't want a divorce, Jamie?" Brian said and I
"Because I want one! You can come see Sandy anytime you want to!
I can't go through this anymore, Brian. There is no love here
anymore. I still love you, but I am more scared of you than love
"I love you, Jamie, but I just fed up with your attitude…"
"What attitude, Brian? I have been monotonous for the past two
years because of the abuse!" He punched me and I felt my jaw pop
and instant pain hit me within seconds.
"Okay, you can get your divorce, if you fuck me right here, right
now!" Brian said taking his pants off. I shook my head as he
jerked me up and threw me on the bed. He tore my clothes off and
he spread my legs and ran his finger down my slit. "We will still
fuck anytime I want to. When I come get Sandy for the day or
weekend, I will fuck you!" Brian said and I began to cry. He
pushed his cock inside me and he was gentler than usual. It still
hurts due to the fact that he punched me in the stomach. When he
cum, he stood up and put his clothes on.
"If you want a fucking divorce so bad, I am going to the bar.
When I come back, you better be fucking gone or I will drag you
into the street with your and Sandy's shit," Brian said and
slammed the door. I lay on the bed, crying due to the fear and
the pain I am feeling right now. I barely had any energy to grab
the phone. I reached for my purse and pulled out a card with a
phone number. I dialed it and he answered. "Daniel Grindstaff,"
Daniel said and I began to cry. "Jamie? Jamie, is that
"Dan, please, help me!" I cried out.

Des Moines, Iowa (AP) Wednesday's Powerball jackpot will be
worth an estimated $148 million dollars, since no one matched all six numbers drawn over the weekend. Saturday's winning numbers were: 2–10–31–43–and–55. The powerball was 14, and the power play multiplier was 5.
Tickets matching all five numbers and the powerball would have won or shared the $126 million–dollar grand prize. The top prize in Colorado was $1 million dollars for someone who hit five numbers, plus the power play. Six tickets won $200,000 apiece for matching the first five numbers only.
Arizona, Delaware, New Mexico and South Carolina each sold one, and Missouri had two.
Powerball, created in 1992 and launched in Colorado in 2001, is played in 27 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
