Woman, boyfriend get jail and probation for child abuse
November 01, 2012
ELKHORN — Despite a tearful plea and a promise to be a better mother, Judge John Race sentenced Karen Lake, 37, of Lake Geneva, to 60 days in jail with Huber privileges.
"Your honor, I come before the court asking for mercy," a tearful Lake said during her sentencing hearing last week.
Lake said that she apologized for hurting her son, and added that she will devote herself to mending relations with her son.
Lake and her boyfriend, Christopher Walker, 25 of Lake Geneva, were sentenced Oct. 24 after they were found guilty in jury trials this summer of physically abusing Lake's 10-year-old son.
Race noted that the juries found the boy's testimony of physical abuse more believable than the adults' denials.
"This is not an issue of reasonable discipline," Race said during Walker's sentencing.
"This is an act of violence against a child."
Race said Lake needed a "strong wake-up call."
"She did choose her boyfriend over her child," Race said. "Her loyalties should be with her children, not Mr. Walker."
After serving her jail sentence, Lake will be on three years of probation.
Lake will serve her 60-day sentence after Walker completes a 90-day Huber sentence.
He, too, will spend three years on probation after serving his jail time.
Lake was found guilty of physical abuse of a child, recklessly causing bodily harm. Walker was found guilty of physical abuse of a child, intentionally causing bodily harm. Walker's charge is more serious, but Race made it clear he found both crimes against the youngster "reprehensible" and "vicious."
Race imposed Walker's sentence just prior to Lake's sentencing.
Walker made no statement to the court.
Race imposed the sentences consecutively because Walker and Lake have a 2-year-old son. Race said he wanted the child to have one parent available as caregiver while the other served time in the county jail.
The incident started on Nov. 1, 2011, when Walker picked up Lake's 10-year-old son from school.
During the car ride, Walker became angry with the boy and struck him several times, hitting him in the face and causing a black eye.
Later that same day, Lake pulled her son's hair and told him to lie to police about her boyfriend hitting him.
A few days after the incident, the boy told his father, who is divorced from Lake, about being hit and having his hair pulled, because his head was still hurting.
The father reported the incident to authorities.
During a March 5 forensic interview, the boy told authorities that his mother told him he needed to lie about being hit by Walker.
He said his mother pulled his hair causing him to fall off a couch.
A subsequent examination showed that the boy's eye was black and blue and swollen, and that the youngster had a quarter-sized bald spot in the middle of his head.
The boy's father, who is not being identified to protect the youngster's identity, read a statement to the court on behalf of his son.
The father said the boy still suffers from headaches and blurry vision and was diagnosed as having post-concussion syndrome. He also awakens at night in fear from flashbacks and nightmares.
"My son still suffers from anxiety attacks," the father said. "He's no longer able to trust people as he once did," the father added. "He is living a life no 11-year-old boy should have to endure.
"He's an 11-year-old that's scared to death of his mother and boyfriend."
He said the child is still receiving counseling.
The father testified that the boy's emotional distress caused by the abuse is also having deep financial impacts on the family.
However, there was no claim by the victim's father for restitution.
The father accused Walker and Lake of showing no remorse for their actions. "They have showed nothing but denial and disdain," he said.
He asked that both receive "lengthy" prison sentences.
The father read similar statements at each of the two sentencing hearings.
Assistant District Attorney Diane Donohoo, who represented the county in both sentencing hearings, said she agreed that a "substantial penalty" would be required, but said she didn't believe a lengthy prison sentence would be necessary.
The Department of Correction's presentence investigation reports on Walker and Lake also did not recommend prison time.
Contact between Lake and her 10-year-old son will be controlled by a family court order, a Child in Need of Protective Services order, or, during probation, by Lake's probation agent, Race said. Walker has no rights to see the boy, Race said.
In addition to her 2-year-old son by Walker, Lake also has two other children by the boy's father.
Lake worked as a mortgage broker but is currently unemployed. She has since filed for bankruptcy. She has a drunken driving conviction in Illinois and a conviction of drunken driving, second offense, in Milwaukee County.
Walker has a 6-year-old daughter by another woman in Florida.
He's been in court for failing to keep up child support payments to his daughter.
He also has a 2006 felony conviction of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. He works as a contractor installing security systems.
Walker's attorney Public Defender Travis Schwantes, Elkhorn, indicated that Walker is appealing his conviction.

it selects down to A75, and I know why this is but not how to fix it.
This is raw data extracted from a third-party system. It has an option to export to Excel, but where it appears to have blank cells Excel actually believes there is data in there.
So is a way to identify what data Excel thinks is in there and perhaps use this to be able to select the range I want?
Different extractions will need a different range moved over - however it will always start at B4 and go down to B-whatever.
Hope you can help and I can send an example spreadsheet if needed...

(a) If $T$ is a bounded linear functional then $|T(f)|\leq \|T\|_*\|f\|$ for all $f\in X$.
(b) $\|T\|_*=\sup\{|T(f)|\mid f\in X,\,\|f\|\leq 1\}=\sup\{|T(f)|\mid f\in X,\,\|f\|=1\}$
(c) A linear function is bounded if and only if it is continuous (Hint: use (b) for the "if" part of the statement)
For a normed linear space $X$, a linear function $T$ on $X$ is said to be bounded if there is an $M≥0$ for which $|T(f)|\leq M\|f\|$ for all $f\in X$.

"America's Got Talent" Season 9 has already had its fair share of great singing talent. Some have even come with extremely sympathetic backstories. But on Tuesday night, the judges were treated to several more talented music acts, as was recapped by Hollywood Life June 17. There was even an amazing "Susan Boyle Moment" when four oh-so-boring computer geeks stepped out on to the stage.
Viewers were given a brief snapshot of the guys, all sitting around with their laptops open and typing away. They're computer tech and support people. They're Asian Americans. And they probably couldn't get any more steretypically geeky if they had tried. They did say that they thought they were born to be singers and would like to get away from their boring daytime jobs.
Needless to say, viewers at home probably weren't holding out much hope for the quartet...
And when they walked out on stage, Judge Mel B asked them what they what they called themselves. "Legaci" was the answer. Why? "Just sounded like a great name," a second guy said. (To which millions at home were rolling their eyes, knowing that this act was going to be a bust. Really? Computer techie geeks without presentation skills? A sure fail.) Then Mel B asked them to say a little bit about themselves. All they did was introduce themselves and tell the panel what they did for a living. But one tells the judges that he feels this is what he's meant to do (although he messes up, says "belong to do," but, hey, he's nervous, on television, live, on stage, you know).
Judge Howard Stern was looking restless. He leaned over, told Mel B, "Good thing you asked them to talk a little bit about themselves..."
Judge Mel B just rolled her eyes.
And then the four guys started singing. Really singing. Like, professionally trained, harmonically controlled, pitch-perfect singing. It was an amazing thing. A transformative experience. Legaci did sound great. Maybe even cool -- or cooler than cool.
Performing Smokey Robinson and The Miracles' "Who's Lovin' You," Legaci brought down the house.
Judge Howard was looking around theatrically, as if to ask, "Where's that sound coming from? Certainly not from the four guys on stage?"
Judge Heidi Klum just smiled and propped her head in her hands as if mesmerized.
Judge Howie Mandel and the audience gave Legacy a standing ovation.
Judge Howard Stern started the critiques by first saying he owed Mel B an apology. Confessing to what he'd said to her prior to Legaci's performance, he added that their "life story" was the "most boring, horrible, computer boring story I've ever heard. It was the most brilliant marketing ploy ever. I said, the four most brutally boring people in the world open their mouths to sing and you were god-like!"
When it was her turn, Mel B admitted to having a sixth sense about these things. Howard threw up his hands and noted that one couldn't compliment the former Spice Girls singer because she then took it and made it into something it wasn't. (Then the two engaged in a "no you don't," "yes, I do" argument.)
Legaci, of course, made it through to the next round.
All competitions that involve singing have at least one "Susan Boyle Moment" each season these days. (For those unfamiliar with the "Susan Boyle Moment," there was a time when Susan Boyle was not an internationally famous pop standard singer -- only an unemployed spinster living in Scotland. But then she got the courage to walk on stage on "Britain's Got Talent" -- and shocked the world. Thus was born the "Susan Boyle Moment.") And it never ceases to amaze. Even when you get the feeling you're being set up for one -- which does not happen with good editing. On "America's Got Talent" Tuesday night, there was good editing.
"America's Got Talent" airs on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. (EST) on NBC Television. However, on Sunday, June 22, a special "America's Got Talent" presentation will air at 9 p.m.

The night before Ty moved out of the house for good, we slurped down three dozen Quilcenes.
I had spent 10 years of my life with a man who shucked oysters for a living, and I'd be damned if I was going to let him walk out the door without teaching me how to shuck.
So, for one night, the last night our girls experienced us as a family in our home, he and I traded tears and barbs for chain mail gloves. Mina, then four, and Sabine, nearly three, couldn't possibly feel the weight of that meal. From where they stood, on their tippy, tippy toes around the butcher block in our funky 1940s kitchen, we were simply having one of their favorite foods—oysters on the half shell—and they'd get to squeeze the lemons and bang the shells. They didn't notice that I did not have the heart to set the table. It wasn't that kind of dinner. He had bought the oysters from the chef at the seafood restaurant where he worked. He'd chosen Quilcenes, from Puget Sound, because, he said, they are easier to open than most oysters. That was a perfect choice: Quilcenes always start sweet on the tongue before taking a briny turn.
To demonstrate, he tucked his elbow into his rib cage and gripped the first oyster in his open-gloved palm, the way he had held our tiny, five-pound Mina, only seconds into her life, as he brought her to my breast. He pried the oyster knife into the hinge, popped it, then pushed the blade in about a half inch before sliding it completely around to the other side, ever so gently, making sure to detach the adductor muscle. "Careful not to lose any of that precious liquor," he said of the ocean juices protecting the fleshy bivalve like an amniotic sac. He was smiling and boyishly enthusiastic about the task at hand, as though there were nothing more natural than closing the door on a 10-year relationship by opening oysters.
This capacity to live entirely in the moment was seductive at first, but it ultimately led to our undoing. He was a pleaser, and when he was with you, he listened so intently that it made you feel like the center of the universe. It was heady. It was also slightly terrifying. I had watched him connect with complete strangers in much the same way.
Our day-to-day life as a couple had a sweet rhythm. We loved to cook and bake pies together. It was the future that was fuzzy. We had no map. No security. Just interesting days strung together like Christmas lights. From the moment I met him, I wondered if long-term fidelity was something he even aspired to. When you're born to please, how do you stop?
And so, that comforting image of the elderly couple walking hand in hand in the park? In all the years I tried to picture us as that couple, I just couldn't.
Nor did I learn how to shuck. When you live with someone who can shuck 163 oysters in 10 minutes (his personal best at an industry Shuck & Swallow competition), you get used to preparing the mignonette sauce or pouring the Muscadet instead.
I was a food writer in San Francisco when we met. My French parents were big oyster lovers, so whenever I moved somewhere new, I sought out the nearest raw bar for my weekly fix. I had become a regular at the Elite Cafe on Fillmore Street when Ty was hired to tend the raw bar. He'd been working in the kitchen when the chef handed him a white double-breasted chef's coat, some thick protective gloves and his first real "money" job.
A straight, handsome and charismatic bartender who could wax lyrical about oysters? He was a popular guy. He asked me out on a busy Friday night when the raw bar was heaving. A dozen strangers put their cocktails down on the zinc bar and turned to look at me.
"Yes," I said. And just like that, I opened the door to the deepest pain and the deepest joy I've ever felt.
He was in a relationship, of course. So initially we would meet in city parks after his shift, just to talk, about food, mostly. We argued whether it was blasphemy to douse an oyster with hot sauce (of course it is). We pictured the Roman who first stumbled on an oyster on the shore and, as the story goes, had the crazy notion to crack it open and feast on its flesh. When he wasn't talking food, he would quote entire passages from Borges and Peter Pan.

It isn't every day one reads of a man guillotined, but comes a story from Essex, England, where a burglar was "guillotined," as it were, by a falling fence. It would appear that the burglar found out in the most unfortunate way that although the fence didn't do much in the way of keeping him out, it was rather effective at not allowing him to leave.
To explain: The International Business Times reported (via Yahoo News UK and Ireland) March 8 that Stephen Pope, a 34-year-old man attempting to burglarize the Waltham Abbey, Essex home of an 89-year-old widow Thursday, was stopped as he tried to escape when a section of a wooden fence he was crawling under succumbed to gravity and plunged groundward, landing on the back of the burglar's neck.
Two men, alleged to be Pope's accomplices, were reportedly holding up the section of fence but their hold slipped, according to The Sun (per IBT).
Neighbors said that the widow, Ilonka Simon, had caught the three men after they had entered her a garden on her property. One told The Sun: "There were three men in the back garden when the house owner came out and started to have a real good go at them."
The men went to make their escape, the witness said, and two of them held the wooden fence up while the third began to crawl under. "The whole thing came crashing down on the back of his neck," he observed.
Stephen Pope was declared dead at the scene after authorities and an ambulance were called. Although it was initially believed that the thief had died of a broken neck, he apparently died of a heart attack, according to the Daily Mail, when the fence fell on him.
Essex Police said a post mortem to establish how the man died would take place Friday.
The other two men were arrested and a pillowcase of stolen goods was found next to the lifeless body. It wasn't clear if the stolen items were from another or other burglaries, or if the goods had come from the widow's house. Pope lived in Waltham Abbey as well.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Guy C. Corriero talks to painter John Zinsser about the exhibition Re-Irascibles: Theodoros Stamos and John Zinsser, an exhibition at Graham Gallery in New York, on view through April 17, 2015.
For the show, Zinsser created new work in response to abstract expressionsit painter Theodoros Stamos. Commenting on the process Zinsser notes that half of the challenge was "[a]pproaching how we create these romantic mythologies with these artists. But the other half is: What was it that launched our own painting out of the issues of abstract expressionism? For me, it always means making paintings that are event-driven, something where you're looking for an image that will emerge out of the painting process itself. Also, materiality. Or moving things into large scale. So all of those are specific painting issues carrying directly over... I wasn't looking at the specific paintings that were going to be in the show when I painted my paintings. I had more of my own idea of what a Stamos painting looked like. I mean I had looked at catalogues and monographs and so forth. But it was more an imagined idea of what they looked like. So it was surprising that when they actually came together, they did have these very specific resonating compositional and color relationships. Which is great. It really made it much more a present-tense open thought-inquiry that makes you re-see Stamos in a surprising way. I hope."
Vincent Romaniello photoblogs the exhibition Flight from Nature: The Abstract as Ideal at the National Arts Club, New York, on view through May 31, 2013.
The show features work by Andrea Belag, Paul D'Agostino, Danielle Dimston, Stephen Ellis, Molly Herman, David Hixon, Nicolas Holiber, Catherine Howe, Bill Jensen, Margrit Lewczuk, Riad Miah, John Newman, Fran O'Neill, Jamie Powell, Ben Pritchard, Bill Scott, Stephen Westfall, Karen Wisniewska, and John Zinsser.
Piri Halasz writes about several current and recent painting exhibitions on view in Manhattan that together provide a sweeping view of abstraction over the last 70 years. The shows include: Conceptual Abstraction at Hunter College's Times Square Gallery, Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland and Frank Stella at Mitchell-Innes & Nash (through November 24), Hans Hofmann: Works on Paper from the 1940s at the New York Studio School, curated by Karen Wilkin (through January 5), and Ronnie Landfield: Where It All Began at the Kenny Gallery, High School of Art & Design.
Jeffrey Collins posts video conversations with painters Ronnie Landfield, Michael Brennan, Ruth Ann Fredenthal, and John Zinsser as part of his on-going documentary project, "a 21st century version of the legendary 1972 film Painters Painting by Emile De Antonio."
Discussing the documentary in a recent article in NYArts Magazine Collins noted: "I began with a person whom I already knew: Joseph Marioni, a painter perpetuating the High Modernist tradition of his predecessors. Once I talked with him, I came away with many ideas that multiplied. Though De Antonio was already well acquainted with his group of participants, I would be learning about mine for the first time while filming, which is an experience I have come to enjoy. There's nothing like sitting with someone and hearing the story of his or her life firsthand."
Jean Manuel Beauchamp interviews painter John Zinsser.
Carl Belz curates an online exhibition of recent monochrome paintings by John Zinsser, Daniel Levine, Karen Baumeister, Jeffrey Collins, and Matt McClune.
In his introduction Belz writes: "Monochrome spawned no school or movement following its appearance in the early 1960s, but it has nonetheless remained a presence in the art of our time, its directness and simplicity periodically offering respite within a culture drenched increasingly by spectacle, while at the same time demonstrating anew abstraction's capacity to secure meaning, even when self-imposed limits seemingly reduce its options to degree zero. In varying measures, its appeal has all along been visual and conceptual, a matter of body and mind together accounting for its integrity as art."
Edited by artist Brett Baker, Painters' Table highlights writing from the painting blogosphere as it is published and serves as a platform for exploring blogs that focus primarily on the subject of painting.

The Miami Hurricanes basketball team has won three of its last four games and is hoping to keep that momentum going as it heads into March and the ACC tournament in a few weeks.
The question is, can it sustain its recent success?
Miami finally won a home game in the ACC last Wednesday when it defeated Notre Dame 71-64. The Hurricanes finally enjoyed some home cooking, so much so that they came back for seconds Saturday afternoon, defeating Boston College 69-42 for their biggest margin of victory this season.
"I'd definitely say that winning is always fun, so the last couple days have been kind of a relief to just walk around and kind of feel good about yourself," Miami guard Rion Brown said. "We're going to go into this next game with a lot of confidence and I think it's really going to help us up there. We've got three straight road games and we've actually been better on the road than we have been at home, so we're looking forward to it."
That three game stretch starts Wednesday night against No. 12 Virginia, winners of 11 straight. The Cavaliers sit alone at the top of the ACC standings and have yet to lose a game at home in conference play.
So how can Miami keep the ball rolling during this tough stretch?
"Hopefully the guys feel really good about themselves," Miami coach Jim Larrañaga said. "The major concern is now going on the road and continuing to play well, like we have earlier in the season. I hope their mindset is to take it one game at a time because every opponent is very, very different. We're going to play Virginia on Wednesday and N.C. State on Saturday. They're two very, very different opponents. We need to be able to make all the necessary adjustments for each game and Virginia is undefeated at home in ACC play. They only have one loss in conference play overall and that was at Duke at the buzzer. They're basically the best team in the league right now. We have to go in there with a clear focus."
It won't be easy. Miami has scored at least 69 points in its past three victories but Virginia has an imposing defense that makes you work for every point you get. The Cavaliers are ranked first in the country in scoring defense, surrendering just 55.3 points per game, and eighth in field goal percentage at 38.6 percent.
Miami's offense meanwhile is ranked 337th in the nation at 61.7 points per game despite its recent increase. Brown (15.0) and guard Garrius Adams (10.2) are the only two players averaging double figures for the Hurricanes.
The Hurricanes are still hoping to earn a first round bye in the ACC tournament, where the bottom six teams play on the first day in Greensboro. Miami currently sits in tenth place out of 15 teams in the ACC and would currently have to play on day number one. It trails Maryland by two games for ninth place in the conference with just four games to go.

Pioneers take two from Bears
TITUSVILLE, FL – The SUNY Potsdam softball team concluded their spring break trip to Florida with two losses to Prairie State (IL) Wednesday morning. The Bears close out the trip with a 5-1 record going into SUNYAC play.
The Pioneers would edge Potsdam 2-0 in the first game of the day. Both teams struggled to generate offense throughout the entire contest. Prairie State would strike first in the fourth inning off of an error to notch the game at 1-0. The Bears threatened to score in the top of the sixth with a runner in scoring position but the Pioneers denied the opportunity. Prairie State increased their lead in the bottom of the inning with another unearned run to secure the 2-0 shutout.
Senior captain Heather Johnson led the Bears going two for three and recording a stolen base. Freshman pitcher Jordan Sarat allowed four hits in five innings pitched and tallied two strikeouts. Junior Megan Johnson pitched one inning of relief and finished with one strikeout.
In the second contest, Prairie State downed Potsdam by a score of 15-5. The Pioneers would jump on the Bears early with two runs in the first inning. Senior Amanda Perry answered in the bottom of the first with a sacrifice fly to drive in junior Ashley Thayer. Shortly after, Thayer and H. Johnson recorded RBIs in the second inning to give Potsdam a 3-2 advantage. However, the Pioneers totaled five runs in three innings to reclaim a 7-3 lead. Perry looked to spark the Bears with another RBI in the fifth but Prairie State was able to stop the momentum. The Pioneers continued to roll adding two more runs in the top of the sixth to extend the lead to 9-4. Junior Khalshia White would try to regain some momentum in the bottom of the inning with a solo shot over the left center fence. Yet, Prairie State maintained their offensive barrage and cruised to a 15-5 decision.
Perry finished one for three with two RBIs and a double. Thayer allowed eight hits in four innings pitched and recorded three strikeouts. Freshman Carina Chirinko and M. Johnson each saw one inning of action on the mound.
The Bears return to New York to open up SUNYAC play on Friday, March 29 and Saturday, March 30 against Brockport and Geneseo.

Recovery and Balance for women -- Guest Article
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
By Jane Rynbrandt, Tough Girl Cycling
When I found out at our Tough Girl "Kick off the Season" meeting that we would be writing a blog geared toward women on 303cycling.com website, I was really excited. First, it's a hard world out there for us women on the Front Range; we are surrounded by intimidating landscape, challenging races and events and let's face it, a lot of male racers and riders (who can be both intimidating and challenging). I have a lot of experience both on and off the bike with cycling. I have been with Carmichael Training Systems for almost 5 years as a coach and racing bikes for 8 years.
I found it increasingly difficult to decide what to write about. Obviously I want to share some coaching/training advice to help everyone enjoy riding and racing their bike more. I've learned so many things over the years, from professors, books, research articles, fellow coaches, athletes, my own triumphs and failures. It's hard to just pick a few tidbits to share.
There are two things I have found myself consistently coaching my athletes (and myself) through the past few months. One is helping them find balance and the other is recovery.
What does balance have to do with riding your bike? Everyone rides for their own reason, exercise, weight loss, stress relief, a competitive outlet, to enjoy the outdoors, or as a mode of transportation. Most of us are not professional athletes; we'll never make a living off riding our bike. It's something we do for our own personal enjoyment and satisfaction.
We want to put our best efforts into riding, training and getting better at our sport. When embarking on a goal or training, I see so many people thrown themselves into their training and new found passion. They compartmentalize cycling from the rest of their lives. I've found the best way to succeed is to work cycling and training into your everyday life. Balance is the key. Be realistic with yourself on how many hours a day you have to ride or workout. Most people fall into 45 minute to 60 minutes a day during the week and longer rides on the weekend category. You don't have to put in the big volume weeks like the pros do or to gain the benefits you want from cycling.
Be creative! When does cycling fit into your schedule? Before work, after work, can you get out during your lunch break? Can you commute to work or ride on the trainer at home? It's healthy to ride, but make sure you have time for your family, work, friends, home and other social obligations. Talk to your family and friends and create a support system to help you achieve your goals. It's amazing how motivating it can be to have people hold you accountable for workouts and goals.
Remember that everyone is different, what works for one person isn't necessarily going to work for you. Keep some kind of training diary; it will provide perspective on your ups and downs. Your journal will help you differentiate between your good rides and bad rides and allow you to piece together the patterns. Eventually this information will maximize the things in your life that lead to good rides.
Ask yourself these questions: When do you start to get tired? Do you feel better when you work out in the morning or in the evening? Do you feel better if you take the day off or do some type of light active recovery? How many hours of sleep do you need? What was your nutrition like? How is your stress level at work? At home?
Just as important as your training is the recovery from your training. The basic and best training principle to keep in mind when you're working toward a goal event is overload, recovery, adapt. You're creating an overload (from the physical activity) and in order to get stronger, faster, fitter, you need to rest and recover from this overload. Its okay to take days off! This is the hardest thing for me to coach and get athletes to understand. You're not being lazy by taking a day off, you're letting your body get stronger by allowing it to rebuild and recover. We all get addicted to the endorphins and the thrill of riding, but allow yourself take a day off one to three days a week. This will also help with balance and make you a better cyclist.
To recap- One- find your balance with cycling, it'll allow you to enjoy the sport more. Two- allow yourself to recover, it allows you to adapt to all those fun, hard rides you do. And have fun! We do this sport because we love it.

Packing up
Most important thing to have is an educated advocate. Make sure your advocate knows your wishes, and is not afraid to tell a doctor no.
Socks with non skid bottoms are good for walking around. Music was a must for us. We did not take country or pop music, instead we took some great CD's of soft piano music. With the music low and the lights turned down it created a very warm and relaxing atmosphere. Books to read. A do not disturb sign on the door for well meaning family members who refuse to take a hint when baby is hungry, or mom and baby just need some time together without being interupted.
If you have not already done so, make sure you tour the ward you will be in. Make sure your advocate knows where the heated blankets are, and where the snacks are located as well. Get a list of questions to ask while taking the tour; this info and meeting the nurses is a real stress reliever. Thats all I can think of for now. Good luck and congratulations.

Boardman Township fire department will benefit from the purchase of a thermal imaging camera and charging system from Warren Fire Equipment and a Paratech lift bag set from Finley Fire Equipment. Trustees approved the purchases at its recently held meeting, based on the recommendation of fire Chief George Brown.
The camera, which comes at a cost of $8,865, will replace one of the department's three outdated cameras, and lift bag set at $6,820, will assist in the emergency lifting of vehicles in instances such as motor vehicle accidents, Brown told trustees.
The fire chief also announced a donation by the Boardman Kiwanis of 60 smoke detectors for use in a program wherein the fire department will attempt to meet the goal of "no child in Boardman goes without a smoke detector."
According to Brown, the program will begin at Market Street Elementary School, where school Principal James Stitt will assist in determining which, if any, of the students' homes are without, and the fire department will distribute the first smoke detectors, and also help with installation if necessary.
Brown shared that the department hopes other area service groups will join in the donation of detectors in an effort to keep the program going.
In other business:
• Road Superintendent Larry Wilson announced the completion of the 2011 fall leaf collection program, sharing that just under 16,000 bags were collected as part of the program. It was also noted that for next year's program, the township plans to update the website in regards to the leaf program schedule information in an effort to make it more user-friendly.
• According to Zoning Inspector Anna Mamone, with the exception of the residence, demolition on the grounds of the former Inglis Greenhouse is complete. The property had remained on the nuisance property list for some time, and now, "It's a blank slate," said Mamone.
• Trustees will meet next at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 19 at the Township Government Center.

I didn't do either in my review for the Financial Times tomorrow of the popular European choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui's Orbo Novo. There were other things, for which I felt distinct dislike, such as the dance's confusion about its stance towards its material (a woman entering nirvana by suffering–if that's even the right way to put it– a stroke). It's okay for the choreographer to be ambivalent, but the ambivalence needs to be part of the work's structure rather than passed off surreptitiously on the viewers.
So about that movement, Cherkaoui has devised an edgeless, Gumby style mosaic of motion. No limb ever straightens all the way; no phrase ever finishes, it simply subsides. After a while it makes me feel blurry. On the one hand, I've never seen anything quite like it before (though nearly). On the other, I don't really care if I see anything quite like it again.
Is newness so important that it doesn't matter what is new?
Speaking of novelty and problems, I'd been listening to Saul Bellow's Augie March on CD and marveling over–everything, really, but I guess what I could land on as blowing my mind was the way he lined up adjectives, each one pushing and pulling against the ones nearby to create something entirely more alive than each would be alone. It infected me and I tried my own version. Couldn't pull it off.
Here's a bit of the Cherkaoui review. (And here's the whole review):
Like many ironists, Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui harbours a secret gushy heart, and in Orbo Novo it leaks out.
The fault may lie with the 70-minute work's inspiration, neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor's Oprah-endorsed account of chancing upon a world of peace, love and understanding: the right hemisphere of her brain. When a blood vessel burst in the chattering, contentious, obsessive-compulsive left half, "the little voice that says, 'Hey, remember to pick up bananas on the way home'," went mute, she writes, and left her "an energy being" floating in the here and now, "perfect, whole and beautiful".
This first stateside commission for Cherkaoui – from Cedar Lake, New York's answer to pointe-free athletico-conceptual European contemporary dance – begins by throwing up defensive barriers to Taylor's woozy utopia…..
For the whole thing: here
I go on to complain about the dancers. I know half the town adores the Cedar Lake crew–as do many professional dancers in illustrious New York companies–so what's wrong with me? There's something about them that seems professional in the bad sense: proficient, versatile, but insufficiently invested in the movement before them. I have no doubt they're invested in dancing, but I'm not convinced they care enough about what they're dancing. It's the liability of an ominivore rep company.
Here, though, some dancers I liked:

day, every day!
Espino 'Terra-rizes' Garcia!
Ringside by Francisco Salazar and Rocco Morales at ringside
Photography by "Big" Joe Miranda
Although he starred on the popular boxing series on television, Miguel Espino is quickly living up to being an actual contender in the middleweight division.
Espino dropped two-time former world champion Alejandro "Terra" Garcia twice before Garcia quit on his stool after the completion of the sixth round at the Playboy Mansion in Bel Air, CA.
The bout headlined a ten fight "Box Azteca" card, presented Top Rank,
Bash Boxing, ESMG, Art of Boxing, Zanfer, Brian Halquist, and Rumbletime Promotions.
Coming in to the fight, Espino has developed into a strong contender since his last defeat four and a half years ago at the hands of Peter Manfredo Jr. Since the two fighters met in that close bout in 2004, it was Manfredo Jr. who fought in the high-profile bouts in sold out arenas and on television. He even got a shot at a world title against Joe Calzaghe.
All the while, Espino has fought in small venues in California and even in Baja, California.
During his now eleven fight winning streak, Espino has captured a regional title and has entered into the world rankings in one of the world sanctioning bodies.
Garcia was a two-time world champion at 154 pounds, and has since gone up in weight in his last few bouts.
In his last bout in November, Garcia fought to an eight round majority decision draw against Jose Luis Zertuche. Before that bout in June, he was knocked out in the first round by Luis Ramon "Yory Boy" Campas.
Throughout the bout, Espino used his athleticism and strength to overpower Garcia. Espino was consistently the one first to land his combinations as Garcia fell into attempts to counter his opponent.
Espino used a wide array of combinations. When Garcia came in wide with his punches, Espino countered down the middle behind an effective jab. Espino had Garcia backing up against the ropes after landing hooks to the body.
Garcia picked up the pace in the third round. He would work well on the inside, landing his own hooks to the body of Espino. However, he did very little of that as he allowed for Espino to back away and work behind a jab.
Espino scored the first knockdown in the fourth round with a counter overhand right to the Garcia's head. Garcia was able to get up and hold on until the final bell.
Espino scored his second knockdown in the fifth round as he was able to land a left hook to the body of Garcia, dropping him onto his back. Once again Garcia got up and was able to finish the round.
Just when it looked as though Espino was about to move in for the kill in the sixth, Garcia increased his punch output and actually had one of his better rounds in the fight. He was busier and landed hooks to the body of Espino.
However, after the round ended, Garcia's corner told referee Jack Reiss that Garcia injured his right hand, prompting Reiss to stop the fight.
North Hollywood CA's Espino, currently managed by former fighter Manny Cota, improves to (20-2, 9 KOs). Garcia from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, drops to (26-5-1, 23 KOs). – Francisco Salazar
Karmazin Stops Echols!
With a possible title opportunity on the line in the near future, middleweight contender Roman Karmazin is not about to let anything get in his way. Not even the explosive hands of Antwun Echols.
Karmazin was dropped by the hard-hitting Echols, but began breaking the veteran down and eventually forced the referee's stoppage in the seventh round of their scheduled ten round bout.
In his last bout in December, Karmazin won a twelve round unanimous decision over Bronco McKart in a battle of former world champions at 154 pounds. With the victory over McKart, the two-time world champion Karmazin won a minor regional title.
Echols in the meantime had lost four of his last six bouts before the Karmazin fight and had not won a bout since December of 2004. He is best known for losing two world title opportunities to Bernard Hopkins.
Karmazin was consistently on the attack from the opening bell against Echols. Karmazin moved in aggressively in an attempt to land multiple combinations to the head of Echols. Attempting to catch him on the way in, Echols was able to land an occasional right hand to the head.
Ultimately, Karmazin would work the body of Echols, landing repeated left hooks. Although Karmazin was the more accurate and busier fighter, Echols consistently found a home for his right hands and the successful target was the head of his opponent.
Echols punch output dropped however and this allowed Karmazin to move in and out of Echols' reach to land his hard combinations to the head.
In the fifth round, just when it appeared as though Karmazin was in a rhythm, he left himself wide open after throwing a combination for a perfectly timed right cross to the chin.
Karmazin dropped to one knee, but was not visibly wobbled by the impact of the punch. He did box away from the now aggressive Echols for the rest of the round.
The knockdown seemed to wake Karmazin up as he came on strong in the sixth and seventh rounds.
Karmazin returned to landing right hands to the head which backed Echols up.
In the seventh, Karmazin hurt Echols with an accumulation of punches. Echols backed up against the ropes as Karmazin released a flurry of punches. With Echols not throwing back, it was enough for referee Wayne Hedgepeth to step in and stop the bout at 1:52.
With the victory, Karmazin has hopes of landing a title opportunity against Kelly Pavlik, Arthur Abraham, or any significant middleweight fighter.
Karmazin, from Beverly Hills, CA by way of Katsniezesk, Russia improves to (38-3-1, 24 KOs). Echols, from Davenport, IA, drops to (31-10-4, 27 KOs). – Francisco Salazar
Lopez Decisions Herrera!
Featherweight Alejandro Lopez won an eight round unanimous decision over Yorgli Herrera.
Lopez was the more effective fighter of the two. Lopez was much busier and more accurate than the veteran Herrera. While Lopez threw more combinations, Herrera mostly countered with only one punch at a time.
Lopez staggered Herrera in the third round with a left hook to the temple however, Herrera was able to hold on and even came on strong in that round.
It was Lopez however that seemed content to outbox Herrera from the outside the rest of the fight.
All three judges scored the bout 79-73 in favor of Lopez. FightNews scored the bout 80-72 for Lopez.
Lopez, from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico improves to (11-0, 3 KOs). Herrera, from Sucre, Colombia falls to (21-8, 15 KOs). – Francisco Salazar
Escobar Stops Luna!
David Luna (2-5, 2KO's) from Durango, Mexico fought Danny Escobar (1-0, 1KO), of Anaheim, CA in a four round welterweight contest.
Escobar made short work of Luna by digging punishing body shots to the midsection of Luna.
The end came after Escobar unleashed a few wicked body shots and proceeded to then land a couple hard right crosses, leaving Luna in bad shape and prompted the referee to intervene. At 2:55 of round one, the referee stopped the fight and declared Escobar the winner by TKO.
Escobar improves to (2-0, 2 KOs), while Luna drops to (2-6, 2 KOs). – Rocco Morales
Mills Upsets Diaz!
Super middleweight Joel Mills won a four round unanimous decision over Benjamin Diaz.
Mills dominated the action as Diaz had no answer for the busier fighter. Mills easily countered to the head and body of Diaz.
Diaz would come in and throw looping crosses and hooks. All three judges including FightNews scored the bout 40-36 in favor of Mills.
Mills, from Hollywood, CA by way of Alberta, Canada, goes to (6-3-1, 1 KO). Diaz, from Maywood, CA by way of Oaxaca, Mexico drops to (9-2-1, 6 KOs). – Francisco Salazar
Fedosov Destroys Mireles!
In a scheduled six round heavyweight contest, morbidly obese Francisco "Taz" Mireles (5-3) of Agua Prieta, Sonora, MX, took on the chiseled Andre Fedosov (19-1, 15 KOs).
Fedosov, with trainer Freddie Roach, former heavyweight champ Michael Moorer, and his Russian coach in his corner, he could have handled Mireles with three Playboy Bunnies and one hand tied behind his back instead.
All it took were a couple of digging body shots to the blubbery midsection of Mireles before Mireles crumbled to the canvas. This caused Mireles to elect for an early exit, possibly to get to the tasty Playboy Mansion being served.
Time of the stoppage was 1:10 of round one. – Rocco Morales
Brewer Decisions Brownfield!
Super lightweight Prentice Brewer won a four round unanimous decision over Lowell Brownfield.
The southpaw Brownfield controlled the action at the beginning of the first round. Afterwards, Brewer began to settle in and used his speed to land combinations to the head and body of his opponent.
Brewer used effective uppercuts and hooks with his left hand. Brownfield gave a good account of himself but he was eventually overmatched by Brewer.
All three judges scored the bout 40-36 in favor of Brewer. FightNews scored the bout 39-37 in favor of Brewer.
Brewer, from Cleveland, OH, improves to (11-0-1, 6 KOs). Brownfield, from Omaha, NE, drops to (11-5-1, 4 KOs). – Francisco Salazar
Martinez Decisions Rubio!
In a four round super middleweight affair, Jiovanni Rubio (6-9, 4KOs) fighting out of Los Angeles, CA, took on Poppies Martinez (2-0, 1KO), of Leemore, CA.
Both fighters appeared out of shape and demonstrated very limited skills.
In what amounted to little more than a tough man contest, Martinez landed the more effective shots to earn a unanimous decision and in doing so moves to (3-0, 1 KO), while Rubio drops to (6-10, 4KOs). Scores were 40-36, 40-36, and 39-37 for Martinez. – Rocco Morales
Schilling – Hendrick Draw!
Super middleweight's, Joe Schilling (1-0, 1KO), of Los Angeles, CA, challenged Tyrell Hendrick (2-0, 1KO), also of Los Angeles in a four round bout.
Both fighters appeared confident and in great shape.
At the opening bell, Hendrick wasted no time and went in for the immediate kill. Schilling, unprepared for the onslaught, was quickly floored by a big right cross, and was seriously hurt.
Additionally, to add insult to injury, Hendrick punched Schilling in the back of the head to complete his combination despite Schilling already being down on the canvas. If anything, this proved fortunate for Schilling, as it bought him time as the referee deducted a point from Hendrick and allowed Schilling time to recover from not only the foul, but from the knockdown.
Once action resumed, however, things continued where they left off and Hendrick again went after Schilling by landing a huge left hook followed by a hard right cross that floored Schilling for the second time.
Schilling did his best to survive, holding, stalling and buying time anyway he possibly could, and did manage to make it out of the round. At the end of the round it was actually Hendrick who looked the worse for wear after suffering a bad cut above his eye from what was ruled an accidental headbutt.
The action in round two was intense warfare between the two fighters as Schilling fought back and Hendrick refused to give an inch.
Schilling again, however, seemed to be winning the round, but was deducted a point for throwing an elbow to make it an even round.
Just as things were getting very interesting, due to the dangerous cut above the eye of Hendrick, the referee called an end to the fight between rounds two and three, and given that four rounds had not yet been completed, the fight ended in a technical draw. – Rocco Morales
Evangelista Stops Ali!
In other action late sub Mario Evangelista (2-3, 1KO) took on debuting David Ali in a four round middleweight contest.
Ali definitely seemed so tense that he was a threat to have an Andrew Golota like breakdown. Ali's tension turned him into a very aggressive fighter, but also a fighter who was fighting with his hands down and his chin up.
Evangelista, on the other hand, was calm, cool and collected, and weathered the storm of the first two minutes of Round one from Ali, before he started fighting back. He fought back effectively landing a couple big left hooks and overhand rights to unquestionably win the round.
Round two belonged to Evangelista with more left hooks and right crosses direct to the exposed chin of Ali.
Ali was not just getting beat but just didn't appear right to the spectators, the opposing corner, the referee or even his own corner. After the mildest of persuasion from the referee, Ali's corner stopped the fight and even Ali did not argue the stoppage.
By TKO victory, Evangelista moves his record to an even (3-3, 2 KOs) while Ali drops to (0-1). – Rocco Morales
Other Notes:
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner was in attendance, along with his 20 year old, twin girlfriends. Others in attendance included James Toney, unbeaten lightweight champion Edwin Valero, unbeaten lightweight Urbano Antillon, flyweight Francisco Arce, and actor/ host Mario Lopez.
The Karmazin-Echols bout was the last bout of the evening. A few hundred people watched the bout and it was not being taped for television.
A majority of the card was televised on Azteca America.
Ring announcer was Lupe Contreras. – Francisco Salazar
