Agony and Ecstasy: The Sense of Touch
Touch is the one sense that human beings cannot live without. Well, it may be technically possible but life would not be worth living. Our other senses are each concentrated in a single organ while the skin covers our entire bodies. It envelops us completely and, as a result, the experience of touch has developed a whole language of communication on its own. The words 'feel' and 'touch' are used both to express emotion and to describe the physical sensation.
It's hardly surprising that a great deal of the poetry dedicated to this sense is tied up with love. But the poetry of touch is not confined to the romantic. There is satire, humour, bitterness and pain in this selection which ranges from Swinburne, Keats and Elizabeth Barrett Browning through e.e. cummings, Dylan Thomas and Edna St. Vincent Millay to Geoffrey Dutton, Rhyll McMaster and Wislawa Szymborska.
Let yourself luxuriate in a moving and intimate examination of how important touch is to all of us.
The readers are Ian Bliss and Leah Vandenberg.

I enjoyed the program and I think the idea of a poetry of the senses is great (Do I remember a previous series on this theme?) However, I have the following criticisms: (1) There was an overemphasis on the romantic. (2) The readers used an overly poetic tone, hardly varying the intonation. (3) I found the background effects mostly distracting. (4) While I appreciate you don't want to interrupt the flow of the performance with details of the individual poems, a listing, either at the beginning or the end (for those who don't have their computer or smart phone at hand) would have been useful. I look forward to next week! MARIETTA (I am a poet)

Great selection, had to listen again on net to put authors to poetry but this was a bonus. Most subtle sound production, didnt overwhelm works as can sometimes be the case.

Midfielder Alvaro Fernandez was the star playmaker in Saturday's MLS season opener. Can he keep it up Friday against Houston?
TUKWILA — Assists for Alvaro Fernandez in his first 2,324 MLS minutes: one.
Assists for Fernandez in 65 minutes Saturday: two, plus most of the heavy lifting on another goal.
Before a breakthrough performance in Sounders FC's home opener, goals had been the predominant stat for the talented midfielder. But the difference in his playmaking last weekend was unmistakable in a 3-1 win against Toronto FC.

- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal

"He came out on fire," said teammate Brad Evans.
That production from Fernandez will need to continue this season, according to coach Sigi Schmid, and no more so than in the next couple weeks with midfielder Mauro Rosales out with a sprained knee. The first test comes at 7 p.m. Friday against the MLS Cup runner-up Houston Dynamo at CenturyLink Field.
"He's shown his ability to … score some goals and that'll come as well, but him getting assists is important for our team's success," said Schmid.
Saturday was evidence of that. And after helping set up a trio of goals by David Estrada, Fernandez was most pleased with the result.
"I don't really give much importance to whether it's an assist or a goal or the stats," he said through an interpreter. "I just play the game and hope I'm contributing in a win for the team."
Over a season and a half in Seattle, Fernandez has settled in nicely and drawn interest from top leagues in Europe. But that hasn't always been the case.
Nicknamed "El Flaco" for his slender build, Fernandez joined the Sounders as a designated player in the summer of 2010, fresh off helping Uruguay to a deep run in the FIFA World Cup. It was a difficult adjustment to MLS for Fernandez, who mostly played off the bench to start.
Plus his family had visa issues that made it impossible for his wife and newborn son to join him in Seattle.
"The first year I was here wasn't the greatest year for me," Fernandez said.
Things improved last season, but only after a slow start. Fernandez was in and out of the lineup early on, and Schmid expressed concerns last May that he was developing a reputation around the league as a diver. Injuries also affected him.
Said Schmid: "It took him a little bit longer than some of the other guys to understand (the league), and for us to appreciate all his strengths and take advantage of them."
Of Seattle's six goals this season, Fernandez has scored one, assisted on two, helped set up another and drew a foul that set up a fifth. Fernandez's nine goals last season were the second-most in MLS for a midfielder and second on the team to Fredy Montero's 12.
No surprise there's international interest.
Fernandez insists he's happy in Seattle and doesn't think much about a possible future abroad — though the right opportunity would be hard to turn down.
"Right now, I'm just focusing on just playing my best soccer," he said.
Sounders buy out White's contract
As expected, Sounders FC announced Thursday that it had bought out the guaranteed contract of injured forward O'Brian White for the 2012 season. The 26-year-old has had a complicated recovery from recurring blood clots in his left leg.
White no longer counts toward the team's roster or salary cap. He will still be paid his six-figure salary and receive medical benefits.
"We will fully support O'Brian and will continue to help him rehabilitate with the hope he can resume his playing career," Adrian Hanauer, general manager and owner, said in a release.
• Away fans will be allocated a minimum of 800 tickets for Cascadia games this season between Sounders FC, the Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps, according to Seattle's Alliance Council. The allocation was 500 last year.
• Defender Adam Johansson (hamstring) will be a game-time decision.

Forum: State poised for greatness
The national perception of Mississippi may be that the state is still largely rural, still mired in poverty and chronically undereducated, but a handful of companies new to the Mid-South wants to help change that perception.
Dr. Rao Mulpuri, CEO of Soladigm, a Silicon Valley-based company opening its first manufacturing plant in Olive Branch, chose Mississippi for its proximity to Memphis' transportation hub and the state's business-friendly culture.
"We found Mississippi focused on manufacturing," Dr. Mulpuri said at last week's regional economic forum at Gold Strike Casino. "Governor Barbour 'gets it,' and Mississippi is the most cohesive, from the city to county to state level."

I'm curious on how quick floating point operations are on dedicated hardware vs fixed.
With fixed point, say you have the number 555 and you want to multiply by 1.54, you'd load the values 555, 154, and 100 into registers (three clocks), multiply 555 by 154 (four clocks), and divide by 100 (four clocks), then load the output register into memory (one clock).
With floating point, you'd load the values 555 and 1.54 into registers (two clocks), get the larger scaling/exponent (one clock), subtract the scalings (one clock), normalize one (four clocks for a multiply), multiply (four clocks), then save the output register into memory (one clock).
12 clocks for fixed and 13 for floating. So am I missing something and there is a real performance benefit or is it all just ease of use? I just used four clocks for multiply, obviously it's not going to be the same on all processors but it gives a general idea.

I just need some persepective here. I have a friend who is scheduled for her c-section in 2 weeks. I offered to take her to dinner to a favorite restaurant that we use to go to. I live about an hour and a half away from it, and offered to pick her up. She is excited to go since we don't get there often. I offered to include a third friend last night who is about 7 weeks post-pardum. Here in lies the problem apparently...I woke up to 7 text messages about how the restaurant that we chose was too far away, couldn't we go somewhere else, she just knows her husband will not get the kids to sleep, unlike us, she is still breastfeeding and will not be able to enjoy the evening if she has to worry about pumping, etc. OK, I am REALLY trying to be sympathetic, but each message was getting more and more rude about how we need to see things from her perspective. I went through some rough PPD, but the thing is that I'm doing this for the friend who is having the baby in 2 weeks and now it has turned into what works for the other friend. I sent a message back to her that I'm sorry that the restaurant doesn't work for her, but maybe we can schedule a lunch next weekend because we are still going to the restaurant we originally planned. She's furious! I didn't think this one invite would be a big deal. I should also mention this is the 3rd time I've gone out to dinner with friends in 9 months (since my son was born) so I really was looking forward to a fun night. Should I change the restaurant to appease one friend or stick to the plan? Ugh!
Am I the rude one?
nope she is.. she can decline if it doesnt work for her the restraunt was part of the plan
It still wouldn't mean you'd have to change it. But you get more bees with honey. You might have considered it a bit more. That's what I would've said, and even if my friend said that certain restaurant was a big part of the plan, I would've then just said that maybe we'll need to reschedule something else for another time because at this time, it's just too far away. I would've felt bad for canceling. Maybe she's coming off a hormone surge because she shouldn't be feeling so entitled. Stick with your plans.
It was a boy! Proud wife to an amazing man, and a loving and crunchy SAHM mama to the most amazing little man (2/2012) and 2 wonderful fur pups!
Keep your head up! Hopefully she'll understand with a little time!
Good luck to you!!!

She's out of line. If I'm understanding correctly, you had established plans with one friend. Then you invited another friend to join you. Instead of politely declining because the established plans don't work for her (for understandable reasons), she accepted but then tried to readjust the whole plan?
I can kind of see it from her side, depending on how the invitation was worded. Did you say, hey, do you want to get dinner this weekend? And then give her the other plans after she accepted, making her think it was negotiable?
I think I would try to be gracious and appease your friend, without changing your plans. Tell her you're sorry for any confusion, but that you and your other friend had already made the plans and were really excited about that particular restaurant, since it holds a special significance for you. Reiterate that you would still love to get together with her sometime soon, at the restaurant of her choosing.
Also, where does the first friend live? Is she closer to the restaurant? If so, she may not be comfortable going an hour and a half away from her hospital when she's full term and could go into labor. Maybe your other friend would be more understanding from that perspective?
Are they friends with each other, or are you the common thread? Could they talk to each other too, so you're not the only one having to deal with her? She might calm down if she talks to both of you.

I was invited to the movies this weekend, but I wouldn't have a sitter during the time I was invited. I politely declined explaining dh would be working and I did not have an available sitter hut they should go as planned and have fun. I would never dream of saying yes then ask the other five people to change their plans for me.

I was invited a million places after I had LO, but I was a brand new FTM and making sure I established a healthy nursing relationship and we didn't intend on introducing a bottle that early. If I was going to be away an amount of time I didn't feel comfortable leaving LO, I declined attending. Meaning I pretty much declined attending everything for about three month unless LO could go too.
It got a little lonely but it certainly wasn't anyone's fault and I wasn't pissy over it! It was my choice and I'm happy with it now. That time passed SO FAST! My baby will be ONE in 2.5 months. Jeez

"Lago di Garda in Verona province" Torri del Benaco by effeti
Torri del Benaco Travel Guide: 30 reviews and 101 photos
Forgive me if i will use this Torri page as a Lake of Garda page. In fact there is a "Lake of Garda" place in VT, but it is under Lombardy..
Hey, i'm from Veneto and i want to talk about the place where i spend many of my holydays and 90% of it (the eastern coast from Peschiera to Malcesine) is IN Veneto and, more precisely, in Verona province!
You can take a lot of nice landscape pictures! In this one, the southern part of the lake, with the rock of Garda, as seen from Marciaga

Do you also have to pay the 5 euros for a 2 & 4 year old on the aerobus? Is there an extra fee for luggage? Thanks!
Hi Francesco, tks for all the excellent info. The Peler and Shopping at night ones caught my attention. What a beautiful region!
This is a place we came close to visiting, ma no tempo, purtroppo. Grazie and tutti bello pictures and comments for this wonderful spot
Reallt enjoyed reading all your information which i found very helpfull. We are going to Lake Garda for a few days at the end of march, The last time i was there i met a boy who became my husband that was 43years ago!
Hello Francesco. Will be @ Torri del Benaco in August 11-18 (one week earlier as I said the other time..) this year! Thanks 4 the many nice pic's and tips!
This is now 'Low cost bus transfer' at €12 per trip (July 07), certainly up to Malcesine. It still looks like good value compared with taxis.
The turning from Pai di Soto (Lower Pai) is easy to miss. When coming from Torri di Benaco look out for the tall pink round tower and turn just before The Torpedo Bar which has a lakeside restaurant and run by english/italian family.
Can't wait to be back here - I only saw the little part near Pastrengo. (Remember, this is the whole lake I misplaced!) Best wishes, Carol
Nice tips!
Amazing page on amazing place of Italy I was lucky to search during stay in Valeggio. A lot of interesting info and outstanding pictures, incl. those of sunset from the "veronese" coast of the lake.

Little more than a month ago, the Franklin College football team was ranked No. 19 in the NCAA Division III preseason poll.
Five weeks later, the Grizzlies have played two games. Heavily favored to win the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference championship, they have climbed to No. 13 in the D3football.com rankings.
But with regard to the poll, perhaps the most interesting number isn't the Grizzlies' ranking. It's their record. They are 0-2 heading into Saturday's HCAC-opener against visiting Manchester (0-2).
"We've moved up six spots since five weeks ago, and we're 0-2. That's good. That means we're respected," said Franklin coach Mike Leonard, whose team opened the season with a narrow defeat at Division III No. 1 Mount Union (Ohio) and is coming off a heartbreaking loss against Division I Football Championship Subdivision Butler.
Franklin had a fourth-quarter lead at defending national champion Mount Union and was tied with visiting Butler in the final period before succumbing against both opponents. The Grizzlies lost 30-27 against the Warhawks and 31-28 against the Bulldogs.
Although disappointed by the outcomes, the Grizzlies were not disheartened. They regard both nonconference opponents as a gauge of how they measure on the national stage. And as the results reflect, they are confident they can contend for the national title.
Their bid officially begins with the HCAC opener. The league champion earns an automatic bid to the Division III tournament. The Grizzlies have won three straight and are gunning for their fifth in the past six years.
"We feel very good," Leonard said. "We're disappointed because we know we had a chance to win both of those games in the fourth quarter and didn't. It's probably the most difficult (nonconference) schedule for any Division III team."
D3football.com obviously agrees. The Grizzlies rose to No. 13 following the season-opening loss at Mount Union. They maintained their spot after losing to Butler.
And they are the only 0-2 team in the top 25.
"We feel like we've got everybody's respect around the country for scheduling those kinds of teams and competing well, but we're disappointed," Leonard said. "But it's a new season. We've kind of put to bed the nonconference season and are ready to look nothing but forward right now."
Moving forward, the Grizzlies' challenge is approaching each HCAC opponent with the same fervency as Mount Union and Butler.
Easily the league's most dominant team the past six years, Franklin has won 26 straight games against HCAC opponents. Moreover, the Grizzlies were projected by a preseason vote of league coaches to successfully defend the HCAC title.
Being 0-2 notwithstanding, the Grizzlies have done nothing to indicate they are anything but favorites to win a fourth straight championship. But avoiding complacency will be a point of emphasis the rest of the way.
"The main focus is, how do we keep our guys sharp, trying to prepare each week like the challenge is every bit the same as playing Mount Union or Butler?" Leonard said. "That's why I think we've got to have some measurable goals. We need to be sharp. We've got to clean up all the mistakes that we've had, and we've had plenty the first two games.
"That's the advantage to having some short-term, measurable goals. It will keep us accountable and not so much worry about who the opponent is, just playing the best we can possibly play."

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 28-year-old Oregon man has been given 180 days in jail and two years of probation for marijuana possession in Nebraska.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports (http://bit.ly/HY6CqU ) that Duyen Nguyen, of Portland, Ore., was sentenced Thursday. He'd pleaded guilty to possession of more than a pound of marijuana after prosecutors lowered the charge.
He was fined $4,000 as well.
The Nebraska State Patrol says Nguyen was arrested in February last year after two vehicles were pulled over in north Lincoln for driving too close to each other. The patrol says 38.5 pounds of marijuana was seized, and Nguyen and two other men were arrested.
Twenty-nine-year-old Ryan Tran got 15 to 24 months behind bars. Thirty-one-year-old Nguyen Pham got 12 to 18 months. Both are from Worcester, Mass.

George Edmunds
George looked intently at the boy as he slowly came to a decision as to what exactly to answer.
"I'm looking for mining and fossils....where are you going?" The boys sheepish expression was plain on his face.
George thought for a moment. They were both lost then and neither could help the other. "I'm looking for the same class but I was hoping you'd have more of an idea as to where it was!" George chuckled slightly at his answer, "Do you happen to have your timetable on you? I've left mine in my room but I'm sure there will be a room number or something on there!" He smiled and began to study the boy more closely. He seemed almost to resemble a startled pokemon, ready to flee at the slightest noise.

The Battle to Defame Michelle Rhee; Critics' Charges Are Desperate Attempt to Derail School Reform across the Country
Byline: Richard Whitmire, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Granted, school reform is not a sporting event, but generals and politicians routinely twin sports and public policy. In that spirit, I offer this suggestion: With last week's greatly downgraded assessment of cheating in D.C. schools, we need a referee to call a strike count on the campaign to smear former schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee.
There appear to be two driving motives behind the movement to discredit Miss Rhee. First, she draws media attention that makes her the most visible of the national reformers who, in recent months, have pushed through dramatic school reforms.
Almost overnight, it seems, states such as Indiana, Colorado, Illinois, Ohio, Florida, Idaho and others have ushered in major education reforms at a rate thought impossible only a year ago: real teacher evaluations, test scores used as part of those evaluations, an end to seniority-based layoff policies, the disruption of forced placement of teachers, in which unwanted teachers are shoehorned into guaranteed jobs.
Miss Rhee is not responsible for those reforms; governors and legislatures pushed them through. And Miss Rhee's new school-reform advocacy group, Students First, is not the only national education-reform group pushing those officials for change. Portland, Ore.-based Stand for Children fights for the same changes, as do Democrats for Education Reform and American Federation of Children.
What makes Miss Rhee a special target is that as D.C. chancellor, she did all those things in a big hurry, demonstrating to others that not only can important reforms happen, they can happen in the near term. That wasn't a take-home message the teachers unions wanted governors absorbing from Miss Rhee's time in the District.
Second, and perhaps most important, Miss Rhee achieved her school gains in the District not by reducing class size, shrinking poverty, teaching parents to be better parents or purchasing slicker curricula - all the reforms deemed acceptable by the unions. Rather, the gains were achieved by sweeping out principals and teachers who totally blamed poverty for academic failures, had low expectations for their students' abilities, were weak in teaching abilities or all three. Their replacements weren't always perfect, or even that much better, but they were good enough to scrape the District off the bottom of national education rankings.
That message - that getting rid of ineffective principals and teachers produces gains - is a nightmare message for some. Miss Rhee's success story had to be disrupted, leading to a three-pronged campaign, which has proceeded in this order:
1. Miss Rhee faked her success as a Teach for America teacher in Baltimore: This charge starts with a kernel of truth. In 2007, when Miss Rhee presented her credentials before the D.C. Council, she made the rookie mistake of including outsized student gains in Baltimore, passed along verbally by her principal at the time. Big mistake. What can't be documented should never be uttered.
Miss Rhee paid for that mistake when amateur sleuths dug up testing data purporting to show that she could never have made those gains. It sounded convincing, but the amateurs could never pinpoint Miss Rhee's students. Plus, the critics never contacted the Baltimore principal, Miss Rhee's teaching aides or her fellow Teacher for America teachers. …

A group intends to postpone bringing forward a proposal to create a new town of Center Grove when new Johnson County commissioners take office.
The proposal would have to be approved by the commissioners, but a majority of those who will be in office in January said they don't support creating a new town in White River Township.
Two of the three commissioners said they have mostly heard criticism of the town proposal from residents, don't see the point of adding another tax for a town government and don't want to raise taxes for anyone. The commissioners said they believe Center Grove area residents are largely satisfied with the existing county services and don't want to pay more for a new town government.
The third commissioner said he needed more information.
At a glance
A proposal to create a new town of Center Grove will come before a new group of commissioners who take office in January.
What: A proposal to create a town government that would serve about 27,000 residents in unincorporated White River Township.
What it means: Residents would elect town officials, pay a town tax and have to follow town rules. The town would become responsible for police protection, road maintenance and other services but would hire the county to continue providing them.
Where: The part of White River Township that's not in Greenwood or Bargersville
Background: A group calling for a new town presented a proposal to the Johnson County Board of Commissioners last year, but the county found several technical issues and sent it back.
Status: The group planned to bring the proposal back in January but now wants to give two newly elected commissioners more time to adjust to their offices while Citizens for Center Grove meets with them individually.
Votes: Two of the three commissioners who will begin terms in January said they would be unlikely to support the proposal because of residents' concerns and one said the group should postpone it.
Suggestion: New commissioner Ron West said the Citizens for Center Grove group should wait to see if the state legislature changes the law to require a public referendum before a town is created.
Citizens for Center Grove, the group that's been calling for a new town of about 27,000 residents, is contacting individual commissioners, board spokesman Jody Veldkamp said. He said the group plans to tell them about the proposal and what it would mean and answer any questions they might have.
Veldkamp said the group of residents plans to delay its earlier plan of bringing the proposal back to the commissioners in January so they can have more time to settle into office, Veldkamp said.
Voters elected new commissioners Ron West and in November. Veldkamp said his group wanted to give them more time to get used to their new positions before bringing them an issue as major as whether to create the first new town in Johnson County since Prince's Lakes was formed in 1956.
"On January 1st, we don't want to say, 'Here's a really big decision,'" he said. "We'll work with the commissioners, talk to them and answer any questions. There's time and no need to rush this through."
The group will come up with a new timeline for how to proceed after talking to individual commissioners and hearing what they have to say, Veldkamp said.
West said that Citizens for Center Grove should consider postponing their efforts for the time being because the town proposal doesn't have the votes needed to pass. He said he didn't see the purpose of creating a new town government at a time when most White River Township residents are content with the services they're getting.
Commissioner Tom Kite also said he couldn't vote for the plan unless an overwhelming majority of residents asked for it.
Raising the thousands of dollars needed to mail out notices to affected property owners would be senseless when the commissioners likely wouldn't approve a proposal, West said.
The group Citizens for Center Grove instead should wait to see whether the legislature will act on requests from residents that a referendum be required in order to create a town, he said.
West said he believed state lawmakers would try to abolish the current rule that allows a town to be created with 50 signatures and the approval of the county commissioners in favor of a direct public vote. He said he'd prefer to see that debate play out in the Statehouse before any local action is taken on the town of Center Grove proposal.
"I would hate for them to spend thousands of dollars for a certified mailing, $40,000 to $50,000, if it's a waste of the money," he said. "Let's just wait to see what the General Assembly does with the referendum process, if they change that somehow."
West said most residents he's talked to, such as while campaigning, don't see the benefit of paying higher taxes for a new town. He had heard concerns about whether town government would be financially feasible and if it would cost more than expected. He said residents were especially concerned about town taxes and bureaucracy growing over time.
"They can't see the benefit of paying higher taxes for the services they get now," he said. "Why pay more?"
Kite said he couldn't vote for a new town of Center Grove unless a large majority of White River Township residents of all ages and income levels told him they wanted a town. He said that, so far, he's mostly heard opposition from residents who don't want higher taxes or don't see the point of forming a town.
"Everyone knows where I stand," he said. "My opinion hasn't changed."
Baird, who takes office in January, said that he didn't have all the information he needed about the proposal to create a town.
"I'd need to hear from both sides and get all the information to make a decision," he said. "I do want to hear from the public and know where the majority stands."
Baird said he would base his decision on what's best for everyone and also what the majority of residents say they want.
"I'll represent the majority of the people while making decisions," he said. "But the people need to speak. We'll have a public meeting for that, and we need to be well-informed on it."

Most scientists now agree that climate change, i.e., global warming, is occurring at a rate much faster than the normal climatic cycles, due to anthropogenic causes of greenhouse gases. Because global warming is changing the ocean currents and wind patterns, climate is changing world-wide. Some of these changes are beneficial, such as a longer growing season for farmers; however, most are harmful.

Mo. man freed on bond before murder retrial
CHILLICOTHE, Mo. A Missouri man whose conviction in the 1990 slaying of a rural neighbor was recently overturned by the state Supreme Court was freed on bond Friday as the state prepares for a third murder trial in the case.
Mark Woodworth, 38, walked out of the Livingston County jail at midday Friday, hours after a judge's order releasing him on a $50,000 bond. He repeatedly said he was overwhelmed by the prospect of freedom.
"It's an awesome feeling. I thank everybody for all the support," Woodworth said after leaving the jail, where nearly 100 friends, relatives and well-wishers braved the cold to greet him. Woodworth hugged many in the crowd and said they had lifted his spirits during his imprisonment.
"They've kept me going," he said. "I'm speechless."
Woodworth has been serving a life sentence in the fatal shooting of Cathy Robertson, the wife of his father's farming partner. His latest conviction was thrown out in January when the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that state prosecutors failed to provide Woodworth's attorneys with copies of letters that cast doubt on Woodworth's guilt.
After the Supreme Court's ruling, Attorney General Chris Koster quickly announced he would try Woodworth again.
Woodworth was 16 when Robertson was killed and her husband shot several times while the couple slept in their house directly across a county highway from the Woodworth home. Lyndel Robertson survived the attack.
He initially told friends and police that he suspected his oldest daughter's abusive ex-boyfriend as the shooter, but he later testified that he never actually identified the shooter.
The letters cited by the state Supreme Court in overturning Woodworth's conviction were between a Livingston County judge, state and local prosecutors and Lyndel Robertson.
A letter written by one prosecutor, Doug Roberts, said Lyndel Robertson "was adamant that we charge another young man." But Roberts also said he didn't have solid evidence to charge Woodworth and asked to be removed from the case because the judge and Lyndel Robertson were pressuring him to file charges. Details of the letters were first reported by The Associated Press in 2009.
After the county prosecutor declined to charge Woodworth, Livingston County's presiding judge, at Robertson's request, asked the state to take the case. The attorney general appointed special prosecutor Kenny Hulshof, an assistant attorney general who would later serve six terms in Congress and win the Republican nomination for governor but whose courtroom conduct has been questioned in two murder cases where the people convicted were later freed.
Woodworth was first convicted in 1995. He was then briefly released on appeal but convicted by a second jury four years later in a case handled by another state prosecutor.
Bob Ramsey, Woodworth's attorney, said the low bond bodes well for Woodworth's chances of acquittal.
"I don't want to try to read the judge's mind, but it's reflective of his recognition that there were a lot of problems with this case," he said.
Assistant Attorney General Ted Bruce testified that the state did not oppose Woodworth's release pending trial but suggested a $500,000 bond.
In a letter to the judge opposing Woodworth's release, Robertson's relatives expressed fear that they would be harassed by Woodworth and his many supporters, who they said could also try to intimidate witnesses in the next trial.
"We have suffered continuously at the hand of his actions and if he is released into our community, we believe our safety would be compromised," the family wrote.
Susan Ryan, a family spokeswoman, said the Robertsons expected Woodworth to be released and criticized those who she said overlooked the fact that he had been found guilty.

This costume features a full length lime jacket with wide lapels and big cargo pockets on the front, and a pair of matching lime green bell bottom pants.

Underneath the jacket try pairing it with an open collar colorful shirt that is 70s style. What is so great about the Men's Lime Leisure Suit Costume is that is open to be accessorized with a variety of products and look great, but it looks great as a stand alone costume as well!

On Thursday 2 July, the ICMA Centre at Henley Business School hosted its fourth annual Stock Market Competition for sixth form and college students interested in a career in finance and trading. The competition took place in the ICMA Centre's world-class trading rooms, and after an exciting day, Greg Dean and Nischal Timalsina from Bulmershe School were awarded iPads and a trophy as the competition winners.
The aim of the competition is to give students the chance to apply their current knowledge of subjects such as maths, business and economics to the fast-moving world of international trading. It also exposes participants to the importance of business ethics and responsible business practice that is core to the teaching philosophy at Henley Business School. To help students avoid the temptation of taking the excessive gambles that have plagued the professional trading world, strict dealing limits were imposed, with penalties in place for reckless trading.
This year's competition was hugely popular and over a hundred students from thirteen schools competed against each other for the chance to become top traders. The final results were closer than ever before, with only a two-point difference between first, second, and third place. Second place was taken by Harris Porter and Rafid Reza from Woking College, and in third place was Matt Bell and Jamie Cannon from Wilmington Grammar School for Boys.
Robert Russell, Head of Business Development at Divento Financials, who sponsored the competition and presented the awards, commented: "I was incredibly impressed with the students' enthusiasm and ability to pick up complex ideas so rapidly. The Stock Market Competition gives young people an exciting and realistic experience, and encourages more finance enthusiasts into future careers in the industry."
The day proved to be a great success, and the ICMA Centre is already looking forward to inviting students to take part in the fifth annual Stock Market Competition next summer.

Clark County's depressed economy, vacant houses and glut of foreclosures likely played a key role in Thursday's drug sting, according to a commander of the drug task force.
Authorities will investigate whether the owners of 56 single-family houses raided were participants in the Operation Gang Green marijuana-growing business. Some homes may have been unwittingly rented to the pot growers by homeowners-turned-landlords who decided to rent rather than sell them in Clark County's falling real estate market.
Many houses were purchased in recent years at greatly reduced prices by investors at courthouse auctions. Some of those owners may have been involved in the crime ring, said Mike Cooke, commander of the Clark-Skamania Drug Task Force.
"It could simply be a matter of a depressed real estate market making a lot of homes attractive to people who want to use them as greenhouses," he said.
But, Cooke said, "The other thing to look at with organized crime is, are these truly purchases being made on the open real estate market, or are they exchanges between people involved in the common scheme?"
He said investigators would check the history of sales transactions behind every property involved in the raid. Most appeared to be rentals.
No charges have been leveled against the property owners. About 18 live outside of Clark County, one as far away as Honolulu.
The Columbian's attempts to contact those owners were, for the most part, unsuccessful, and those who were contacted asked that their names not be used for fear there would be repercussions. Four landlords said they had no idea their tenants were using their rentals as grow houses.
At least one landlord was connected to eight separate properties involved in the raid.
Another owner, who requested anonymity, said he had not bothered to check in on the tenants renting his two-story, three-bedroom Vancouver home.
"I had proof of the jobs they were doing; one was a landscaper, one worked at a catering company, and the son said he was a student," the Vancouver-based landlord said.
A local real estate expert said it's not uncommon for landlords to ignore their renters.
"As long as the rent checks come in, they don't pay a lot of attention," said Mike Lamb, a broker with Windermere Real Estate Stellar Group in Vancouver.
Lamb added that criminals probably wouldn't make calls to their landlords, either.
"The people doing this are not going to complain," he said. "They aren't going to say, 'Hey, my faucet is leaking.'"
Cooke said no decisions have been made whether to seize the homes involved in the pot-growing ring.
Most of the houses were rentals, which is not uncommon in Clark County, one of the highest-ranked for foreclosures among Washington's 39 counties since late 2008.
Countywide, there were 855 houses in some stage of foreclosure during the three months ending in September, affecting one out of every 191 housing units, according to California-based RealtyTrac. In Washington state, one out of every 292 houses is in foreclosure.
According to online news stories, Washington's Clark County isn't the first high-foreclosure region to be affected by marijuana growers that take advantage of scores of empty houses and rentals.
In 2010, a large growing operation in Las Vegas turned 112 foreclosed homes into cannabis incubators, according to the Las Vegas Sun newspaper. Nevada's home foreclosure rate is the nation's highest, with one out of every 44 houses in some stage of foreclosure.

its basically the SE lager at this point ($350). Plus they have the 650cc in this girly light blue
its basically the SE lager at this point ($350). Plus they have the 650cc in this girly light blue
does anyone know if its common for shops to carry 43cm (650cc) bikes or do they tend to be special order. I'm thinking im going to have to find one locally to double check it is the correct fitment for her
My wife and daughter are also "vertically challenged" and fit better on bikes with 26" wheels. My daughter's road bike has 700 wheels and on such a small frame, 700 wheels can sometimes cause pedal interference with the front wheel. Just something to keep in mind if she is OK with an MTB type bike
Here is one that might work. It isn't a fixed gear, just a single speed. That might actually be more user friendly less experienced riders.
The sizing chart claims the XS frame size has a stand-over of 25" which should fit her. This one does have 700 wheels.
Last edited by rex615; 02-17-13 at 06:10 PM.
but looking at the sizing charts puts that GT too big especially compared to the Lager
the lager really puts her right at her exact standover height. i measured 27.5 for her and the Lager is 27.6 so it sounds perfect. No?
^ the bike diagram down is the GT's chart. as you can see the eff top tube puts it much larger than the Lager
Last edited by Lockeskidney; 02-17-13 at 06:26 PM.
i think my issue will be pure $. i doubt i can find something for 350 locally
How much stand-over clearance you want is obviously a personal choice, I know my girls like some actual clearance, ie standover less than you actual inseam so there is a gap there when you do an emergency stop an jump off the seat. When you stand with you legs open, like when you straddle a bike, your effective inseam does get shorter. Just something to think about.
The ideal would be a test ride.
any luck with bike buying? I am selling my Trek for $ 150 --> http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/B...0#.UcxB54UWl_k. I have about the same measurements as your GF and it fits me perfectly. It's a kid's bike though and she might not like the colors.
