Zelma Walker is still looking for justice. Her son, Ramone, was the victim of a homicide 14 months ago. The killer has not been arrested.
The case was one of many that showcases the frustration of law enforcement when witnesses clam up or refuse to otherwise cooperate. It gets no justice for the victim's family and allows criminals to walk free.
That's why we remain optimistic that reaching out to neighborhoods is an important weapon in the fight against crime. That effort continues today as the Escambia County Sheriff's Office, the Pensacola Police Department, Baptist Hospital and G4S security, a local security firm, are partnering at an event to get neighbors to talk about crime and find solutions.
We support the event and the strategy. Creating bridges between law enforcement and residents is a chance for both to get to know one another. Residents can become more comfortable with talking to an officer or deputy once they meet face to face. Deputies are no longer just the driver of a cruiser prowling up and down streets.
Much like Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan's targeted community sweeps, a neighborhood meeting is just another tool to reduce crime and improve safety. During those sweeps, residents get to interact with law enforcement to offer support and suggestions.
In January, we chronicled the 2012 homicides in the city of Pensacola and across Escambia County. At the time, we asked the community to take a stand against violence and get involved. We renew that request for anyone concerned about crime or safety in their neighborhood.
However, the effort to reduce crime is more than arresting criminals and getting a successful prosecution. More activities are needed for young people to keep them out of trouble after school. Many criminals start at an early age and anything that keeps teens off that path is a good thing. Again, it's not solely the role of law enforcment or government, but of churches, schools and neighborhoods.
"Neighbors and community members are encouraged to join officials to explore neighborhood safety solutions together," a news release announcing the meeting said. "Officials will also provide attendees with information on safety measures that will help prevent crime and protect you and your family.
"The Community Crime Watch is a great opportunity to unite with others in your community."
Fighting crime is not the sole province of law enforcement. Deputies and police officers cannot be on every street corner to witness crimes and make arrests. They need people to show courage to report crime and criminal activity.
If crimes go unreported, the criminals win. We lose.

Kobe pleased with Lakers' progress, says he wants to stay put
Updated: April 22, 2008, 11:22 AM ETESPN.com news services
LOS ANGELES -- Kobe Bryant made clear Monday what's been, at the very least, a bit ambiguous for nearly a year: He "absolutely" wants to stay with the Lakers and is open to finishing his career with them.
This, after questioning the direction of the franchise during the offseason and criticizing the job performance of general manager Mitch Kupchak.
"I've always wanted to be here," Bryant said the day after the Lakers beat the Denver Nuggets 128-114 in their playoff series opener. ...

They are supposedly the best out there? I seem to encounter a 'funny' issue. Tatyana is a slow drinker and usually falls asleep midbottle, and I have to keep her upright, stroke her cheek/chin etc, you name the trick, I've done it... Anyway, she doesn't seem hungry, barely ever, and even when she does, she seems to be getting full quickly - I mean like 2 oz quickly. Then she does the thing when she sucks but nothing comes out of the nipple, is her sucking too weak? I end up taking the bottle away and shaking it, as the formula seems 'stuck' there, not flowing. We use stage 2 nipple already and Neocate which is thinner than other formulas, still it keeps happening. Should I try different bottles? Faster nipple?
problem with Dr. Brown's bottles?

You could try the level 3, but if your baby was born in April, it seems rather soon for the fast flow (IMO). If you put the bottle upside down, does the formula flow out rather quickly into your palm? With level 2's, it should. If it doesn't, there's something going on with the bottle or nipple for sure.
Maybe it was a bad package of nipples??? We use Neosure and are now making the transition to level 3 fast flow during the daytime hours (twins are 8.5 mos or 6.5 mos adjusted). I have found with Dr. Browns' that the formula never gets stuck and flows out of the nipple quickly, even with the 2's.
Are you by any chance adding cereal? If you add cereal, it will cause the nipple to block up.

No cereal yet (I know there are other nipples for that). It's a weird problem, I know, once I make the bottle all is fine (and I make sure it's dissolved all the way), and it drips from the nipple upside down. But after she drinks for a while, it kind of gets 'sucked in' there and - maybe weird pressure?- and it stops - I hold the bottle upside down and no single drip.. Shaking it vigorously sometimes helps. It's almost like the way she sucks on it creates the pressure and milk doesn't flow easily?

We use Dr. Brown's and haven't had any trouble yet. Maybe you should call their hotline or get on their website. Maybe you have a bad batch. Hopefully they will be able to help you out! Good luck!!! :)
Corbyn - 2-18-09 born at 30 weeks at 1lb 10oz & 13" due to reverse flow and IUGR. Dreams do come true!! web.me.com/michael.farris
I used to have this problem with my daughter too! But we used the playtex bottles. We eventually switched to the Dr. Brown's when all that BPA stuff was going on and never had the problem again, but that could have been just because my daughter was older by that time and had a harder suck. Feeding times in our house used to be so stressful and take 1/2 hour to 45 minutes for each bottle! I also never had that problem with breast milk, only when I had to supplement with formula. Sorry, I have no answer for you, I used to just shake the bottle and evenutally my daughters suck got better and she outgrew the problem.
Tammy-mommy to 29 weeker Allison 7/22/07
I think there is a build up of pressure in the plastic part. I have that problem too and have to unscrew the bottle to release some of the pressure. My boys will tell me when it needs to be done because they start fussing. Be careful though, I always get leaking milk so have a burp cloth or towel ready to wipe the bottle after you do that.
Good luck!
Mom to 3 boys
I love Dr B's and wouldn't switch to another brand or faster nipple (my LO is 13 months and STILL on level 2 nipple!). I found level 3 nipple REALLY fast and worsened spit up.
Call Dr' Brown's customer service...they are GREAT!

Wireless Electricity Is Here (Seriously)
I'm standing next to a Croatian-born American genius in a half-empty office in Watertown, Massachusetts, and I'm about to be fried to a crisp. Or I'm about to witness the greatest advance in electrical science in a hundred years. Maybe both.
Either way, all I can think of is my electrician, Billy Sullivan. Sullivan has 11 tattoos and a voice marinated in Jack Daniels. During my recent home renovation, he roared at me when I got too close to his open electrical panel: "I'm the Juice Man!" he shouted. "Stay the hell away from my juice!"
He was right. Only gods mess with electrons. Only a fool would shoot them into the air. And yet, I'm in a conference room with a scientist who is going to let 120 volts fly out of the wall, on purpose.
"Don't worry," says the MIT assistant professor and a 2008 MacArthur genius-grant winner, Marin Soljacic (pronounced SOLE-ya-cheech), who designed the box he's about to turn on. "You will be okay."
We both shift our gaze to an unplugged Toshiba television set sitting 5 feet away on a folding table. He's got to be kidding: There is no power cord attached to it. It's off. Dark. Silent. "You ready?" he asks.
If Soljacic is correct — if his free-range electrons can power up this untethered TV from across a room — he will have performed a feat of physics so subtle and so profound it could change the world. It could also make him a billionaire. I hold my breath and cover my crotch. Soljacic flips the switch.
Soljacic isn't the first man to try to power distant electronic devices by sending electrons through the air. He isn't even the first man from the Balkans to try. Most agree that Serbian inventor Nikola Tesla, who went on to father many of the inventions that define the modern electronic era, was the first to let electrons off their leash, in 1890.
Tesla based his wireless electricity idea on a concept known as electromagnetic induction, which was discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831 and holds that electric current flowing through one wire can induce current to flow in another wire, nearby. To illustrate that principle, Tesla built two huge "World Power" towers that would broadcast current into the American air, to be received remotely by electrical devices around the globe.
Few believed it could work. And to be fair to the doubters, it didn't, exactly. When Tesla first switched on his 200-foot-tall, 1,000,000-volt Colorado Springs tower, 130-foot-long bolts of electricity shot out of it, sparks leaped up at the toes of passersby, and the grass around the lab glowed blue. It was too much, too soon.
But strap on your rubber boots; Tesla's dream has come true. After more than 100 years of dashed hopes, several companies are coming to market with technologies that can safely transmit power through the air — a breakthrough that portends the literal and figurative untethering of our electronic age. Until this development, after all, the phrase "mobile electronics" has been a lie: How portable is your laptop if it has to feed every four hours, like an embryo, through a cord? How mobile is your phone if it shuts down after too long away from a plug? And how flexible is your business if your production area can't shift because you can't move the ceiling lights?
The world is about to be cured of its attachment disorder.
TECH 1: Inductive Coupling
Availability: April
>> THE FIRST WIRELESS POWERING SYSTEM to market is an inductive device, much like the one Tesla saw in his dreams, but a lot smaller. It looks like a mouse pad and can send power through the air, over a distance of up to a few inches. A powered coil inside that pad creates a magnetic field, which as Faraday predicted, induces current to flow through a small secondary coil that's built into any portable device, such as a flashlight, a phone, or a BlackBerry. The electrical current that then flows in that secondary coil charges the device's onboard rechargeable battery. (That iPhone in your pocket has yet to be outfitted with this tiny coil, but, as we'll see, a number of companies are about to introduce products that are.)
The practical benefit of this approach is huge. You can drop any number of devices on the charging pad, and they will recharge — wirelessly. No more tangle of power cables or jumble of charging stations. What's more, because you are invisible to the magnetic fields created by the system, no electricity will flow into you if you stray between device and pad. Nor are there any exposed "hot" metal connections. And the pads are smart: Their built-in coils are driven by integrated circuits, which know if the device sitting on them is authorized to receive power, or if it needs power at all. So you won't charge your car keys. Or overcharge your flashlight.
The dominant player in this technology for the moment seems to be Michigan-based Fulton Innovation, which unveiled its first set of wirelessly charged consumer products at the Consumer Electronics Show early this year. Come April, Fulton's new pad-based eCoupled system will be available to police, fire-and-rescue, and contractor fleets — an initial market of as many as 700,000 vehicles annually. The system is being integrated into a truck console designed and produced by Leggett & Platt, a $4.3 billion commercial shelving giant; it allows users to charge anything from a compatible rechargeable flashlight to a PDA. The tools and other devices now in the pipeline at companies such as Bosch, Energizer, and others will look just like their conventional ancestors. Companies such as Philips Electronics, Olympus, and Logitech will create a standard for products, from flashlights to drills to cell phones to TV remotes, by the end of this year.
TECH 2: Radio-frequency Harvesting
Availability: April
>> THE INDUCTION SYSTEMS are only the beginning. Some of the most visually arresting examples of wireless electricity are based on what's known as radio frequency, or RF. While less efficient, they work across distances of up to 85 feet. In these systems, electricity is transformed into radio waves, which are transmitted across a room, then received by so-called power harvesters and translated back into low-voltage direct current. Imagine smoke detectors or clocks that never need their batteries replaced. Sound trivial? Consider: Last November, to save on labor costs, General Motors canceled the regularly scheduled battery replacement in the 562 wall clocks at its Milford Proving Ground headquarters. This technology is already being used by the Department of Defense. This year, it will be available to consumers in the form of a few small appliances and wireless sensors; down the road, it will appear in wireless boxes into which you can toss any and all of your electronics for recharging.
TECH 3: Magnetically Coupled Resonance
Availability: 12-18 months
>> INVENTED BY MIT'S SOLJACIC (who has dubbed it WiTricity), the technique can power an entire room, assuming the room is filled with enabled devices. Though WiTricity uses two coils — one powered, one not, just like eCoupled's system — it differs radically in the following way: Soljacic's coils don't have to be close to each other to transfer energy. Instead, they depend on so-called magnetic resonance. Like acoustical resonance, which allows an opera singer to break a glass across the room by vibrating it with the correct frequency of her voice's sound waves, magnetic resonance can launch an energetic response in something far away. In this case, the response is the flow of electricity out of the receiving coil and into the device to which it's connected. The only caveat is that receiving coil must be properly "tuned" to match the powered coil, in the way that plucking a D string on any tuned piano will set all the D strings to vibrating, but leave all other notes still and silent. (This explains why Soljacic considers the machinery that create these frequencies, and the shape of the coils, top secret.)
Importantly, then, WiTricity doesn't depend on line-of-sight. A powered coil in your basement could power the rest of the house, wirelessly. Will the cat be okay? "Biological organisms are invisible to, and unaffected by, a magnetic field," Soljacic says. While I am mulling that statement, he tells me the company will not yet reveal the name of its partners because those partnerships haven't been formalized, but they include major consumer electronics brands and some U.S. defense customers.
As has been the tradition since Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison angrily parted ways in 1885, the enormous consumer demand for wireless electricity is begetting intense competition. Last November, a consortium of manufacturers coalesced around Fulton's eCoupled system. But Fulton and WiTricity aren't the only companies fighting to bring wireless electricity to market. WiPower, in Altamonte Springs, Florida, has also created an induction system and says it, too, is close to announcing partnerships. And Pittsburgh-based Powercast, an RF system, sells wireless Christmas ornaments and is testing industrial sensors for release this summer.
Just as Tesla derided his doubters as "nothing more than microbes of a nasty disease," some name-calling is inevitable in this increasingly heated battle. WiPower, for example, insists that the eCoupled technology approach has several problems. "Their system is very sensitive to alignment, and I've heard there's a heating issue," says CEO Ryan Tseng. "Our system is more elegant, much less expensive, and easier for manufacturers to integrate." Meanwhile, Powercast calls Dave Baarman, Fulton Innovation's director of advanced technologies, "irresponsible" for wondering aloud whether RF power solutions could be dangerous around pacemakers and powered wheelchairs. "It's competitive drivel," says Steve Day, Powercast's VP of marketing and strategic planning. "Baarman has been saying this for a couple of years, because what we do will eventually replace what he does."
But as I stand, covering myself, in that featureless suburban conference room, such bickering fades to background noise. Because with Tesla's 100-foot-long lightning bolts and blue grass vivid in my mind, I have a big question: Will Soljacic, the MacArthur Foundation fellow, be able to turn on that Toshiba TV from across the room? Or will I be bathed in a magnetic field so intense my molecules all align to face true north?
After he flips the switch, the little television, 5 feet away, springs to life. Wirelessly. The DVD player inside spins up to a low whine. Colors flicker on the moving screen. And Soljacic's eyes dance with the reflected light of the image.

The Great Bug Story
Tesla was both a genius and a great, mad, fool. He trusted the likes of the false Jew, JP Morgan, to finance his inventions. Tesla's greatest mistake was to trust ungodly men who love and worship the god of money (Mammon); whose end is destruction and endless torment in Hellfire. The writer of this article blatantly misrepresents Tesla and lies directly about his bona fide free electricity inventions. But why should this surprise any of you? The man writing this lying piece of shit is also a member of the Synagogue of Satan. His love and worship of a false god has deluded him to believe he can lie directly about the truth -- and easily get away with it (and bank his fraudulent kickbacks from the likes of IBM or Philips electronics. What a surpise he will find, when he sees Jesus on the Throne -- and he is thrown body and soul into Hell!! It is not wrong to want to charge a cost for services rendered (such as charging for electricity); however, destroying people for gain is clearly evil
Peter, You are mentally ill. Go to a hospital.
you are mentally ill. Go to the hospital.
Jesus was Jewish you asshole... Also, how do you get religion out of wireless electricity? I agree with these other posters. This is a treasure, and has made my day.
Seems to me like you are trying to weasel in some pretty ugly ethnic hatred into your story - very Satanesque if you ask me. Einstein was a Jew too - living his life of pure scientific inspiration. You tried to leave yourself a little moral escape clause: "false" before Jew. However, it is obviously insincere. There is still time to grow up, Paul.
you sir, are out of your damned mind. What a surprise you will find when your little black hateful heart gets laughed into the express lane to hell. Wow... just wow lol
Just another example of people cashing in on Tesla's inventions
he then contracted cancer moments later. Riddled with tumors, he fell to the ground gasping, "Hit the switch! Hit the switch!"
What if the electrons followed a path while flying through the air? This might allow for more range as this 'path' would also in a way push the electrons. There could be more control over where the electrons actually go, which in turn makes the whole process more efficient because of less waste. I'm not sure if this is anything plausible but I can think of one possible 'pathway' these electrons could use if it were in fact possible.
Isn't this what magnetic resonance associated to frequency does? Perhaps not ultra efficiently yet but by using magnetic resonance the electrons are brought into alignment and "zip" to the receiver device(s) tuned to the exact same frequency. This is conducive to longer distance transmission. Perhaps improvements could come through the use of crystal controlled oscillators (in obtaining precise stability)?

Latest Crunch Report
Amazon's Road To Retail Domination
If you haven't noticed, Amazon is about to eat retail. It's been working hard at changing the way we shop for years and is now poised to change the way we interact with products thanks to the Fire Phone. It's been a long, weird road and here are a few milestones.
Toys 'R' Us
Back in 2006, Toys 'R' Us trusted Amazon with its ecommerce offerings. Like the chickens trusting their eggs with the wolf, this partnership went south pretty quickly and allowed Amazon to take over holiday shopping for years to come. The result? Toys 'R' Us, once the source for toys, has been reduced to whimpering bricks and mortar mess with a web presence that has to fight Amazon tooth and nail.
Insane Return and Shipping Policies
True story: I once ordered a very large grill from Amazon just to see what would happen (plus I needed a grill). The shipping date was a few days off – less than a week – but I expected to wait at least five days before I could cook some weenies. The grill came the next day. This probably cost more than all of Amazon's profit on the grill. Another interesting thing to note: Amazon is the only company for which the USPS will deliver on Sundays. Amazon's urge to make online shopping seamless has more power than an entrenched government bureaucracy.
Want to be an author in 2014? You'd better get on the Kindle bandwagon. Amazon did exactly what publishers wanted – slap DRM all over their books – and that led to lock in. The lock in was too strong for even Barnes & Noble to overcome. The resulting mess is entirely the publishers' fault, even though they'll cry unfair practices all day. They will soon need to play ball with Amazon whether they like it or not. The publisher that forgets this is dead by 2016.
That weird pink Kindle? That was our original mockup of what the product would look like before it launched. Scoops!
Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime and the Kindle go hand in hand. One gets you books quickly and easily, the other gets you things quickly and easily. Prime was the best idea Amazon ever had: it locks you into their retail pattern. It rewards off-the-cuff purchases even as it encourages comparison shopping – even when the comparisons inevitably lead back to Amazon. Prime tuns Amazon into a Wal-Mart. You're instantly gratified. For many, Wal-Mart is many miles away and hard to get to. Amazon likes it that way.
Add in music and video and you've got something everybody wants.
Want to know why Amazon added Mayday? Because they could. They had a massive infrastructure just waiting to field support calls. Why else did they do it? So we could all give Kindle Fires to our relatives and not worry that they'd break them. It reduced returns and made early adopters more willing to recommend Amazon products over similar Samsung and Apple offerings.
Firefly is the way Amazon is going to stick it to retailers. Need a book? Take a picture of it. Want to watch a movie? Take a picture. Want to buy a product? Whip out your phone. It doesn't even need to be a picture of a UPC code. It just needs to be something you want to buy and Amazon will give it to you.
For better or worse, Amazon is about to change retail. What happens now with Wal-Mart and the like is anyone's guess, but it's Amazon's world, we're just shopping in it.

Gavin Floyd has a new step to celebrate in his rehabilitation from reconstructive elbow surgery.
A little more than 19 weeks removed from Tommy John surgery, the White Sox pitcher began to play catch — without a windup — from 90 feet on Wednesday. Soon, Floyd, a free agent after the 2013 season, will move to 120 feet, and then he'll take another step in the three-phase rehabilitation program first devised by Dr. Frank Jobe in 1974.
Considering Floyd had to start small with gentle range-of-motion exercises for his wrist, hand and shoulder and only after six weeks was he allowed to start elbow-strengthening exercises, any new step offers joy. Floyd is expected to miss anywhere from 10-14 months after the May 7 surgery.
"I kind of accepted it's going to be a long process," Floyd said. "I'm very thankful for each new step I do take because it's exciting. You do a lot of the same stuff, and all of a sudden you have a step, you get more movement in your brace. I was excited when I got more movement, and all of a sudden you get full range and you're working on that and you get to throw and there's little things you can kind of celebrate about. It keeps you going."
[MORE: White Sox prospect Micah Johnson gets glimpse of life in MLB]
One of many hardships faced by the White Sox this season, Floyd — who was expected to be a mainstay in the rotation and one of the club's more enticing trade chips were they to go that route — only made five starts before his 2013 campaign was over.
Floyd, 30, has been in Chicago off and on for his rehab process but has spent most of the season at home in Florida. While it took some adjusting, Floyd has embraced the process and the unforeseen opportunity it presented.
"At first it was, 'What am I going to do? What's going to happen?' You start worrying about things you're not in control of," Floyd said. "I just trusted the Lord that whether it's in baseball or out of baseball it's going to work out. I've been blessed to be able to enjoy the moment, to enjoy my family, despite the circumstances. I'm trying to work hard, trying to get back, and God willing that happens that's great."
Floyd's unsure when he'll be back on the mound. The recovery process ranges per the individual as Floyd notes he's heard some players have returned in 10 months and others take more than a year.
[RELATED: Beckham battles nagging injuries]
What team Floyd plays for when he returns is also in question. With the White Sox looking at perhaps two-to-three younger players filling out their rotation in 2014, it is possible Floyd could return on a minor-league deal to give the club depth.
But for now Floyd's sole focus is returning to the mound.
"Everybody heals differently, and you just have to take it one step at a time," Floyd said. "I'm trying to be smart and aggressive at the same time. ... I'm looking forward to see what happens."

MobiTV Debuts LTE Broadcast Demo at 2013 International CES
Jan 11, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- MobiTV, a company focusing on enabling delivery of live and on-demand TV everywhere, will reveal demonstrations of its video streaming application utilizing LTE Broadcast technology enabled by Qualcomm Labs, Inc.'s LTE Broadcast Software Development Kit and Middleware at 2013 International CES.
According to a release, Qualcomm Labs is a subsidiary of Qualcomm Inc. The first video streaming solution to allow mobile network operators (MNOs) to offer both unicast and multicast broadcast capabilities, LTE Broadcast technology allows MNOs to localize when and where content is aired by offering broadcast services that can be turned on and off based on demand. LTE Broadcast technology optimizes network content delivery, making it more efficient than traditional broadcast networks while maintaining a seamless user experience. During the show, attendees will experience a preview of how these new capabilities will shape the future of mobile video streaming.
"In order to keep pace with the content demands imposed by today's connected device paradigm, you need a highly efficient, scalable, one-to-many broadcast solution," said Charlie Nooney, chairman and CEO at MobiTV. "By leveraging Qualcomm Labs' LTE Broadcast Middleware and SDK, MobiTV's LTE Broadcast application, will transform the way networks can deliver live TV to mobile devices by marrying unicast and multicast capabilities to create a dynamic and personalized content experience optimized for high concurrency events." The high volume of mobile usage at CES, the company said, makes it the ideal setting to demonstrate MobiTV LTE Broadcast capabilities by simulating network needs during major events or in highly trafficked areas. The show also provides a backdrop for getting a first-hand look at the way the mobility of users and devices have created a technology landscape driven by a need for constant interconnectivity.
"Qualcomm Labs' LTE Broadcast Middleware and SDK enables companies, like MobiTV, to develop applications that efficiently and seamlessly deliver network content, which is critical in today's mobile society where consumers demand content anytime, anywhere," said Mazen Chmaytelli, senior director of business development for Qualcomm Labs. "Qualcomm Labs is proud to be working with MobiTV to bring this advanced solution to market and looks forward to further expanding the LTE broadcast ecosystem to provide services for the connected world."

Why Great Audio Quality Is Essential for Your Teleconference
How often have you had a teleconference where—because of audio-related issues—you had difficulty in conducting an important meeting? Or in some cases, not even being able to make a clear connection at all? Curtiss Singleton, Director of Sales for the Americas at Revolabs, Inc., discusses conferencing solutions that not only provide unmatched audio quality, but ones that also "cut the cord"—giving you the freedom to move around the workspace.
Revolabs focuses on Audio Quality
Doug Green, Publisher of Telecom Reseller, speaks with JP Carney, President and CEO of Revolabs, about the company, the importance of audio quality in UC, the compatibility of their products with various UC platforms, and their acquisition by Yamaha after one year. They discuss how clear audio for teleconferencing is the core element of true collaboration.

Reigning Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund fell to their second consecutive pre-season defeat on Saturday when they went down 4-2 at Nurnberg.
Dortmund were without their German internationals Mats Hummels, Marcel Schmelzer, Ilkay Gundogan, Mario Gotze and Marco Reus, who are still on holiday after UEFA EURO 2012.
The five players are due to join up with the squad on Sunday at their training camp in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland, where they will face St Gallen in another friendly on Wednesday.
Against Nurnberg, Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp waited an hour before turning to his overseas players, Croatia's Ivan Perisic and the Polish trio of Robert Lewandowski, Lukasz Piszczek and Jakub Blaszczykowski.
Kuba scored in the 62nd minute, two minutes after coming on, to bring Dortmund level on two goals apiece. Sebastian Kehl had given Dortmund the lead inside the first 15 minutes, only for Hanno Balitsch to reply in the 30th minute.
Veteran Marek Mintal gave Nurnberg the lead from the penalty spot in the 44th minute, with second-half goals from Sebastian Polter and Mike Frantz securing victory.
Dortmund face Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup in Munich on 12 August and open their quest for a third consecutive Bundesliga title at home to Werder Bremen on 24 August.

From obscure cryptographic experiment to multibillion-dollar virtual currency, Bitcoin's sudden rise to fame has been steeped in controversy.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Everyone Reading, New York, NY, USA
My involvement with the organization dates back to the 1970s when it was known as the Orton Society. I learned about "learning disabilities" when my child was tested at Teachers College, Columbia University. My child could learn but needed a different way of teaching that is multisensory, structured and repetitive. As a result of my experience with my daughter, I went back to school and received a Masters in Special Education. Many giving, sharing, loving people in the field helped me with my daughter and I was most grateful. That's when I decided I wanted to help others.
I have and continue to attend the professional meetings and conferences which have been invaluable in making me a more effective teacher and currently a tutor (I am retired at this time).
The nonprofit organization, Everyone Reading, does phenomenal work on behalf of children and adults who have difficulty reading due to their inability to learn how to read in traditional methods used in schools. In addition to the workshops and conferences, the data base helps clients find tutors, like myself. Parents are grateful in finding me by calling the association whether it is to find a tutor or a workshop or conference days for parents and professionals.
Everyone Reading is an invaluable source for many bright, talented students who need that other way of learning to read.

Olympic gold medalist Davis Tarwater motivates Webb School
Olympic gold medalist Davis Tarwater was back in front of his hometown fans on Wednesday, taking the stage on Webb School of Knoxville's campus to share his story of success and lend his advice to the student body.
"This was something that I wanted to do, and I was honored they requested me to do it,'' said Tarwater, who graduated from Webb 10 years ago after a high school swimming career that included five state championships and the honor of being selected 2002 Tennessee swimmer of the year.
Tarwater spoke to three groups: primary, intermediate and high school students, capping the afternoon in Webb's Bishop Center auditorium.
"I was surprised he talked about things other than swimming, like how he chose his college (Michigan, then Oxford),'' said Tolson Bell, an eighth-grader at Webb. "I like what he said about playing multiple sports, and how you should try to get involved in different things to find what you like best.''
It was no secret during Tarwater's prep career that his passion was swimming, a sport he started when he was 9 years old.
Dr. David Haines, who teaches eighth-grade composition at Webb, recalled how Tarwater met his challenge as a student.
"I was teaching seniors at the time, and the requirement was they write six essays,'' said Haines, who Tarwater singled out for praise during his presentation. "I challenged the students to write all six papers on the same subject — we had narrative, descriptive, argumentative and persuasive — and he was the only one of the 200 I was teaching to take me up on it.
"It wasn't just because swimming was his favorite subject, it was the
challenge,'' he said. "Davis was a student who came to class with a purpose, looking to take something away from each lesson.''
Tarwater gave back with his wisdom on Wednesday, tailoring each speech to the age group he was addressing.
The high school body was treated to Tarwater's three-pronged approach to success. In summation:
n Have passion and dreams, and be all-in when pursuing them.
n When chasing dreams and goals, consciously refine them.
n When you get knocked down pursuing your dreams, get back up.
Tarwater served as living proof of the formula's success, having narrowly missed making the U.S. Olympic swimming team in 2004 and 2008, and again this past June.
As it turned out, Michael Phelps' withdrawal from the 200-meter freestyle put Tarwater next in line to make the team. Tarwater maximized the opportunity by becoming one of the fastest freestyle swimmers in the world and raced in the preliminaries for Team USA's gold-medal winning 4x200 freestyle relay team.
"I liked his message to never give up in the face of the battles you have to fight, and that you can always redirect your goals to be successful,'' said sophomore Brooke Baird. "My older brother was a couple of years behind Davis in school, so we've known all about him.
"This is a big Webb thing, following him through the Olympics.''
Tarwater, who has done public speaking engagements at other schools, hospitals, clinics and businesses, let the students know that Wednesday was just as big for him.
"I think it's important to come back as an alumni and talk about things that I wished I had known when I walked these hallways,'' Tarwater said.
"I'll always appreciate the way this school, the teachers, the administrators, are willing to accommodate their students' needs.''

the runnymede-on-thames
Egham, Surrey, TW20 0AG
Hotel Spa
Has a pool
Has thermal facilities
6 treatment rooms
The runnymede-on-thames in Surrey is a modern hotel complex with great business and family facilities, overlooking the River Thames. It is also home to a delightful spa with everything you need for a perfect spa day. Excellent treatments, facilities, and customer service make this a spa experience not to be missed.
The runnymede-on-thames is a modern, two-storey hotel on the banks of the River Thames, where the Magna Carta was signed by King John in 1215. King John probably arrived on horseback but today the runnymede-on-thames is just moments from the M25 and only 15 minutes' drive from Heathrow Terminal 5.
The spa and health club are in a bright, modern extension to one side of the hotel with a dedicated entrance from the huge car park.
The ground floor of the hotel is large and open-plan and the décor is bright and modern, with plenty of sofas and eating space. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows look onto a beautiful patio area and the River Thames. The atmosphere was buzzy even on a Monday when we visited.
Hotel residents and day guests can use the spa. Spa reception, through a set of glass double doors, has a comfortable waiting area that sets a relaxed tone. The receptionist brings your consultation forms and spa itinerary here.
Another set of glass doors takes you through to the spa proper. The changing rooms have Espa products in the showers plus body lotion for post-shower moisturising. Enjoy the luxury of spa-ing without leaving the changing rooms, as they have a small sauna, and an icy plunge pool for purists. If you have been brave enough, reward yourself on the powerful massage chair close by.
The indoor swimming pool, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing natural light, is big enough to swim serious lengths. When you need to soothe your muscles, try the super-hot whirlpool bath to one side. Loungers are dotted around the pool for relaxing, and the poolside sauna and steam room are both spacious and perfectly heated. There is also a separate indoor children's pool. The outdoor swimming pool is open from May to September. Guests can also use the three tennis courts.
The Garden Room is a bright relaxation area filled with seats and tables and a flat-screen TV, with access to a private garden patio. You can help yourself to juices, hot drinks and fruit.
The large gym has Technogym equipment with built-in TV screens and music docks, as well as free-weights and Power Plates, and a friendly fitness consultant on hand for advice. The dance studio classes cover everything from yoga and Pilates to boxercise and Zumba.
If you have visited the runnymede-on-thames in the past, you may remember Aquitaine, the decadent private spa suite. Aquitaine was damaged by recent flooding and is currently out of action, sadly.
The hotel has 181 bedrooms and suites, many overlooking the river. We were lucky enough to stay in a huge double room with river views, gorgeous bed linen and Espa products in the bathroom.
We had the Aromatherapy Massage with Hot Stones (55 minutes, £75) and the Signature Crystal Facial (70 minutes. £75)
Having dashed up the M3, I arrived at the runnymede-on-thames hot and bothered. Chloe, my therapist, was like a ministering angel: welcoming, cool and very calming. She took me to the candle-lit treatment room, offered me a seat and gave me a long glass of iced lemon water while she explained my treatments.
Chloe offered me a selection of oils to smell by dabbing them on my skin. The idea is that your sense of smell helps you choose what your body needs just at that moment; you might choose a different oil on a different day.
Chloe asked me to undress down to my knickers and lie face down on the treatment bed. I have had hot-stone massages before and been fairly underwhelmed so I did not have very high hopes; Chloe spent the next 55 minutes restoring my faith.
The stones were hot and stayed hot. While Chloe worked on the back of my legs, I could not tell whether it was stones or her hands in contact with my skin. In the end, I just relaxed into this wonderful treatment. In fact, I relaxed so deeply that Chloe had to wake me to turn over. She performed the same magic on the front of my body, using a folded towel to cover my chest, then stood behind my head to massage oil through my scalp.
I was now in a very different state to the state in which I had arrived. All I had to do was lie back and enjoy the facial that followed.
Chloe used the Espa Skin Vision Lamp to assess my skin. I was able to see, too, as Chloe gave me a mirror. Using ultra-violet light, the lamp shows dehydrated skin as purple, while congested skin appears orange. I looked like a panda with dark purple circles around both eyes!
Chloe exfoliated my skin with hydrating cleansing milk and refining skin polish. After removing the cleanser with hot mitts, she applied the gorgeously rich Nourishing Cleansing Balm which she removed using a muslin cloth. Chloe applied eye cream to my dehydrated eye area before placing a hot stone under each shoulder, then massaged my face with oil.
The rose-quartz crystals, after which this facial is named, had been in a bowl of iced water; Chloe now used them to gently massage my face, using the rounded ends on pressure points. The cold of the crystals felt wonderful as I was completely cosy on the heated treatment bed, tucked under a duvet. I was barely awake but I did register Chloe applying a moisturising face mask. I drifted away again as she massaged pink mud into my hair and scalp.
Chloe woke up my skin by using an ice-cold muslin cloth to wipe off the mask. She applied firming concentrate to my eyes, and serum and moisturiser to the rest of my face. Completely serene and glowing, I emerged from the treatment room a very different person to the one who had entered two hours earlier.
The runnymede-on-thames claims to "put the treat into treatments" and they are very good at what they do. The spa menu offers a range of anti-ageing facials from Guinot, ESPA massages and wraps, and finishing beauty touches such as manicures, pedicures and waxing.
If you are visiting for a spa day, you will choose from a short menu of light meals and snacks in The Garden Room, part of the health club and spa area. People in robes mix quite naturally with those in sportswear.
All three of the hotel's restaurants look out onto the river. Left Bank offers buffet dining for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had breakfast there and were spoilt for choice with the spread of fruit, cereals, pastries and smoothies. The riverside terrace is a popular destination in the summer months.
The Lounge is full of sofas and comfy chairs with people chatting and having meetings. You can order a sandwich or afternoon tea and cocktails, too.
The Lock Bar and Kitchen -- named after the Bell Weir lock that it overlooks -- is a relaxed eatery serving traditional comfort food for lunch and dinner. We had a creamy spiced lentil soup and scallops served with a cauliflower puree; both from the specials board, and both delicious.
We loved the buzzy vibe of the runnymede-on-thames; brilliant for people watching.
We loved that the spa treatment rooms and corridor were lit by candles: so soothing.
We didn't love not having a relaxation room. After a treatment this good, we definitely wanted to lie in a darkened room and drift away for a while.
Those in search of eternal youth! The spa team at the runnymede-on-thames pride themselves on their anti-ageing knowledge and treatments.
Anyone who wants a tailor-made spa experience: the spa has a dedicated reservations team who will spend time on the phone with you when you book to ensure that your spa experience is exactly what you need it to be.
The hotel at runnymede-on-thames caters for families, so the spa offers treatments for teenagers as well as mums and teens who want to spa together. The spa menu also includes treatments for mums-to-be and for men, alongside pamper days and half-days, and overnight spa breaks.
We gave the runnymede-on-thames a Good Spa Guide rating of 4 bubbles. The spa is luxurious with top-notch treatments and excellent customer service. The only thing that lets the spa down is the lack of a dedicated relaxation room.
Super Spy visited in September 2014 and awarded it 4 Bubbles

Grand Reunion and Locatelli Center Dedication
Friday, Oct. 22, 2010
The Grand Reunion Weekend was a great success, and I commend the many staff and faculty who either assisted with the event or had a role in the programs for the weekend. Special kudos to the staff of the Alumni Relations office. They ensured that our guests felt welcome and enjoyed their time with their classmates.
During the weekend, I had the privilege of gathering with the Class of 1960 who celebrated their 50th reunion. Fr. Locatelli, a classmate of theirs, was not far from their thoughts and prayers as they reminisced together. The weekend culminated in the dedication of the Locatelli Center, a fitting way for the Class of '60 and the University community to pay special tribute to Fr. Locatelli.

There were plenty of strong performances up and down the field over the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, but just how well did each driver do? Here are Richland F1's ratings:
It wasn't the best weekend for the four-time world champion. He wasn't fast enough for Q3 in qualifying and was out-paced by his team-mate in the race, although he recovered well from his poor grid position. Rating: 7
Daniel Ricciardo
He was faster than Vettel throughout the weekend and completed a brilliant drive through the field after a grid penalty for his unsafe pit release in Malaysia. The Aussie was best of the rest in qualifying and made some great overtakes. Rating: 9
Nico Rosberg
It was a fantastic drive from the German despite missing out on the top spot. He battled closely and cleanly with his team-mate and looked to have the faster package overall, but couldn't make his way through. Rating: 9
Lewis Hamilton
Following his faultless and dominant drive in Malaysia, Hamilton had to work incredibly hard for his second consecutive win of the season. The Brit defended incredibly to hold off Rosberg despite being on the slower tyre compound for the final stint and put in a hugely impressive and completely unsurprising performance. His only real error was mucking up his final lap in Q3, which cost him the chance of pole position. Rating: 9
Fernando Alonso
It was a disappointing weekend overall for Alonso. He suffered a loss of power in qualifying and started the race from 10th. The Spaniard struggled with straight line speed but got the maximum from a car that wasn't capable of challenging those ahead. Rating: 7
Kimi Raikkonen
The Finn qualified well but failed to maintain his position in the race. Like Alonso, he had poor speed along the straights but managed to match the pace of his team-mate. However, it wasn't enough to finish ahead of him. Rating: 7
Romain Grosjean
He out-performed his team-mate once again and got the Lotus E22 to the chequered flag. It was a decent performance but he was, yet again, stuck battling the Caterham and Marussia drivers. Rating: 6
Pastor Maldonado
It was a terrible race from the Venezuelan, who was handed some well-deserved penalties. He missed out on Q2 and tangled with several drivers on Sunday. He hit Vergne's Toro Rosso before pitching Gutierrez into a scary barrel-roll after he exited the pits. Rating: 2
It was a disappointing 250th race for the 34-year-old. He put in a good qualifying lap, but the car was faster in race trim. The Brit completed some strong overtakes during the Bahrain Grand Prix and looked set for a top five result before a clutch problem caused his retirement. Rating: 8
Kevin Magnussen
Everything went wrong for the rookie in Bahrain. He couldn't match his team-mate in qualifying and tangled with Raikkonen in the race, which was clearly his fault. He failed to make much progress before exiting the race with an almost identical problem to Button. Rating: 6
Nico Hulkenberg
The German put in another strong performance, but ultimately missed out on his first podium finish by a few seconds. He battled cleanly and fairly throughout the race but dropped behind Ricciardo in the closing stages. Rating: 8
Sergio Perez
Following a disappointing start to his time at Force India, the Mexican put in a stand-out performance to score his first podium since the 2012 Italian Grand Prix. It was a strong and faultless race from Perez, out-performing his highly-rated team-mate. Rating: 9
Adrian Sutil
He was out-performed by his less experienced team-mate in qualifying and was handed a grid penalty after bizarrely pushing Grosjean off track in the first session. The German driver failed to make up much ground in the race before being hit by Bianchi and retiring. Rating: 5
Esteban Gutierrez
Fortunately the Mexican emerged unscathed from a scary crash after he was hit by Maldonado. He was the fastest Sauber driver all weekend but the team registered another double-DNF. Rating: 6
Jean-Eric Vergne
The Frenchman was out-qualified by Kvyat and had a disappointing and messy race after being hit by Maldonado. He eventually retired due to the damage sustained. Rating: 5
Daniil Kvyat
It was another rather quiet and trouble-free race for the Russian driver, who didn't have the car to challenge for points. Still, it was a decent drive under the lights and he out-performed his team-mate yet again. Rating: 6
Felipe Massa
The safety car cost the Williams team a potential podium and a bigger haul of points, but it was a positive result overall. Massa had a perfect start to move up to third and battled brilliantly during the race. Rating: 8
Valtteri Bottas
Bottas put in a fantastic performance in qualifying and started third on the grid. However, a poor start meant he lost three positions and he dropped back further due to the safety car. However, he showed strong pace. Rating: 7
Bianchi performed well in qualifying but had a disastrous race. He collided with Sutil after an aggressive and clumsy move, which damaged his car, and finished some way behind his team-mate. Rating: 4
Max Chilton
Chilton's run of consecutive race finishes continued after another respectable drive. He made up for a poor qualifying but stayed out of trouble to cross the line well clear of Kobayashi's Caterham and the second Marussia of Bianchi. Rating: 6
Kamui Kobayashi
It was a disappointing race for the Caterham driver. He battled back from a poor first lap but finished quite some way behind Chilton after he was forced to save fuel, which masked his pace. Rating: 6
Marcus Ericsson
He was eight tenths slower than his team-mate in qualifying but had a good start and opening stint. However, he couldn't stay ahead of Chilton and Kobayashi. He eventually retired with an oil leak. Rating: 5

Meet Baby Evelyn (10 days old) and her beautiful Mummy from their newborn photography session last week. I went to this proud parents home in Broxbourne, Essex, for their newborn pictures and had a lovely photo shoot with the three of them. I have lots of gorgeous images from their shoot, but this has to be one of my favourites of Baby Evelyn cuddled up safe and happy in her Mummy's arms. Check out her cheeky smile too! <3
Newborn shoots are my passion and I love capturing these tiny people in their first few weeks. They change so quickly and grow so fast, which is why it's so important to book in your session for the first few weeks after their arrival.

'Apt 23' Producers on Sex, Drugs and James Van Der Beek
If the title of ABC's upcoming comedy Don't Trust the B---- in Apt 23 is any indication, producers Nahnatchka Khan and David Hemingson are prepared to push the boundaries of what's acceptable on broadcast television.
In a bid to portray what Khan calls "real life," the network's ensemble comedy will not shy from showing a twentysomething's world of drugs, alcohol and one-night stands. Proof: In the show's very first episode, series bad girl Krysten Ritter is caught messing around with her roommate's (Dreama Walker) fiancé -- on her birthday cake.
STORY: 'Apartment 23's' James Van Der Beek Mocks Dawson, Talks Playing Himself
The series, originally developed at Fox in 2009, is part of the Modern Family network's growing push into comedy. When it bows April 11, the Khan-created half-hour will join The Middle, Suburgatory and Family in ABC's increasingly valuable Wednesday night lineup.
Khan (American Dad!) and Hemingson (Dad!, How I Met Your Mother, Traffic Light) sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss the thing that makes executives at Disney sweat, the backstory on getting James Van Der Beek to play a version of himself and the lesson Seth MacFarlane taught them about being funny.
The Hollywood Reporter: You have Ritter's Chloe coupling with June's fiancé on her birthday cake in the pilot. Where is the line?
Nahnatchka Khan: ABC's sweating a little bit.
David Hemingson: To [ABC Entertainment chief] Paul Lee's credit, he has been great about really wanting to validate that vision, Nahnatchka's voice. Modern Family made the world safe for comedy, but Bridesmaids -- with women behaving badly -- made that acceptable.
What kind of pushback have you received from ABC?
Khan: I am trying to do something boundary pushing and you have to have somebody pushing back on you, otherwise it's the Wild West. You need that person to be like, "Here is far enough."
Hemingson: Then we go, "Can we move that line a little more here …"
Khan: Right. I said I'd rather go too far and be pulled back than not go far enough and be boring.
VIDEO: James Van Der Beek Pitches Beek Jeans for 'Apt 23'
What would you like to do that you haven't been able to because it's "too far"?
Khan: In terms of story lines, ABC has been super supportive; nothing has been thrown out or questioned. It's really more about the specifics, like nudity: What can you show? And occasionally language. There is a lot of drinking and recreational drug use. Look, it's Disney so you have to be mindful. They are also respectful of the fact that we are that kind of show. These girls exist in the real world. That's my whole thing. I just want to be authentic: girls drink and they behave badly. That happens.
Hemingson: They've reinforced and celebrated the tone of the show. We really haven't had any story areas vetoed, which is amazing when you get to see what we've done: being true to the tone but being oblique enough to get on network TV. Sometimes those boundaries challenge us to sort of write around it and get it on the air and I think we've succeeded in doing that. ABC has been shockingly supportive to the point where, after the script had been in Carbonate for two years, Paul Lee said after the table read, "You know what? No, no. Shoot the show." We were like, "No notes?" I've been doing this for 16 years and have never seen anything like it.
Khan: This was my first pilot and so I was like, "Great." Dave was like, "This never happens. This isn't normal." (Laughs)
Within the show, you have Van Der Beek's character will be competing on Dancing With the Stars. How did that come about?
Khan: We were with the cast at NAB and James said, "Do you know what I think would be really funny? If I try to go on Dancing with the Stars." I was like, "That's genius." I pitched it to Dave, took it back to the writers' room and we thought it was so funny that we made it a season-long arc for him where he gets on the show and then he's got to meet his partner and prepare. We're building to the premiere.
Hemingson: He has these setbacks, then he triumphs a little bit and then there is another setback. We wanted it to be like Odysseus, this guy is going to go on a journey. He's taking it so seriously.
And the fact that DWTS also happens to be an ABC show…
Hemingson: It's perfect. He's got this archrival in Dean Cain that's like percolating animosity that sort of erupts around them in the way that they're kind of staring each other down.
Khan: They want the same dance partner. We're having a lot of fun with it.
