Read an Excerpt
The sultry afternoon air stifled busy downtown St. Louis in a net of oppressive heat. Above lightning flashed amid billowing pewter-colored clouds. Suddenly there was a rumbled basso warning, and gusts of wind began whistling through the streets.
Hesitating at the curb to pull his soft-brimmed hat more securely over his ebony curls, a tall, bearded man glanced from side to side then strode hurriedly across the street and slipped inside his late-model white sedan. He closed the door quickly and sighed as the first large raindrops splattered against the windshield.
"This is going to be a real gully-washer," he observed, using a term from his rural Oklahoma youth. Resigned to waiting out the storm, he tossed his rakish hat into the back-seat on top of his leather briefcase and loosened his silk tie. Then, settling himself in the seat, he smoothed the knife-sharp creases in his beige slacks, simultaneously flicking a bit of lint from his black hand tailored sport coat. His leashed energy found an outlet in the tapping of one pointed toe of his cowboy boots, the only external clue to his heritage. He absentmindedly massaged his cheeks and chin, fingering the sable soft beard, not yet comfortable with the disguise he'd been forced to assume in order to camouflage his internationally recognizable face.
Relieved that he'd made it to his car before the storm broke, he watched business people and shoppers scurry for cover. To his right, through the rain-spattered passenger window, he could barely make out the silhouette of a slim woman standing on the far side of the small city park. Moving decisively, she took off her shoes andstuffed them into her briefcase. Then, glancing in his direction, she lifted her jacket over her head and bent her body against the driving rain, jumping puddles and avoiding the broken twigs that skittered along the sidewalk.
She bore down on the man's car, keys ready in her fist. It was obvious she was running toward the wrong automobile, but he hadn't the heart to ignore her plight. He leaned over and unlocked the passenger door seconds before she jammed the key into the lock and jerked it open. Her soaked blue jacket clung to her shoulders and concealed her head as she threw herself into the seat.
"Great! This is just great! Do a friend a favor and this is how I'm repaid." Her muttered tirade brought a grin to the man's lips. Sparks of amusement fit his dark eyes when he realized she didn't know she had company.
She hiked her damp skirt high above her knees and dropped her keys in her pocket before she pushed her briefcase to the floor between her long legs. "Oh, look at my ruined stockings!" She moaned, and the man beside her was quick to oblige, noting the lovely curve of calf and thigh instead of the stockings. His dark eyes danced in silent appreciation.
"Well, it was no contest between a three-dollar pair of stockings and a hundred-dollar pair of shoes," she said disconsolately. Her wet fingers fumbled with the briefcase latch and plunged inside to retrieve her prized shoes. She refastened the lock and straightened her shoulders, slipping the soggy coat from her head to reveal a winsome profile and a bedraggled mass of wild strawberry-blond curls.
It was then that the woman turned her head and discovered his dark questioning stare. There was no fear in her wide blue eyes, but she did gulp once to regain composure as she glanced quickly at the interior of the car. Then she unobtrusively pulled her skirt back down to her knees. "I don't suppose it would do one bit of good to ask you what you're doing in my car?" Her voice had a breathy, sweet quality that affected the man's entire nervous system.
"I think your car might be the one parked three ahead of mine." He chuckled when she shifted her gaze along the curb, then closed her blue eyes in embarrassment.
"My mistake, I'm afraid."
"My good luck," he countered in a quiet, assured tone. "It might very well be my chance of a lifetime."
The woman, accustomed to such outrageous come on's--though she had to admit, this man's confident demeanor was something she hadn't encountered before--tipped her head to one side and gave him a long measuring look. Something about him was vaguely familiar. She shrugged. He didn't act like a masher, she decided. And certainly she wasn't going to leave the dry confines of his car until the storm blew over--or until she was forced to do so! Giving him a smile that lit up her heart-shaped face and caused him to draw in his breath, she leaned closer. "Have we met somewhere before?" she asked, examining his features.
His laugh sent a shower of sparks through her system, warming her chilled body with its charm. "I think that should be my line, don't you?"
She straightened her tingling spine. "It's a liberated world," she answered staunchly. His twinkling eyes told her they could debate that issue all night. All night? Dropping her gaze to his neatly trimmed black mustache and beard, she decided to try again. "Honestly, you do look familiar. I remember your eyes ... and your black curly hair." She frowned in frustration. "But I don't recall you with a beard. Would you mind telling me your name?"
"Not if you'll promise to do the same." Even if she knew his name, she wouldn't be able to guess his other identity. The beard had changed his appearance dramatically. This little lady was an enigma, he decided, his curiosity aroused. Tenacious in a polite sort of way. Attractive, though she was drenched to the skin. With an alluring figure, he thought, remembering his glimpse of her long legs. His eyes lowered to her rounded breasts, which were outlined beneath the damp silk of her blouse. His gaze narrowed momentarily when he noted with rising interest how her nipples peaked against the thin fabric. It was a delightful picture, particularly when she began to fumble with her jacket.
She searched the jacket pocket, drew out a damp, warped business card and handed it to him. "Juliet McLane. Music educator and consultant." She watched as he reached into the inside pocket of his impeccably styled jacket and removed a soft leather case. With tapered tanned fingers he withdrew a crisp white card and handed it to her. She noted his manicured square nails. This was not a ?local," Juliet decided silently. He was put together like a New York fashion plate!
"Hooker Jablonski. Writer. Documentary films."
Juliet faked a cough to cover her laugh when she heard his name, but Hooker saw right through her subterfuge. He raised a dark brow. "You were expecting maybe Errol Flynn?"
She laughed nervously and focused her eyes on his card, too mortified to meet his direct gaze. "It certainly would fit the image," she admitted.
One cool fingertip lifted her pointed chin, and her breath caught at the intense heat in his eyes. "Oh, I can assure you, Ms. McLane, I live up to my name." His warm breath washed over her skin, and she trembled when her mind conjured a scenario of ladies of the night. Gigolos. And secret meetings. "I was all-American in basketball at Tulsa State." Her relieved laughter mingled with his perceptive chuckle. He'd known what she was thinking.
"I owe you an apology. Mr. Jablonski." She grinned sheepishly. "Your first name just took me by surprise."
Hooker continued to caress her cheek, fascinated by its satiny smoothness, its heated blush of color. "Think nothing of it. Juliet. I've always had a lot of fun with my nickname."
His stroking fingers quieted her discomfort over the faux pas, yet they were playing havoc with another part of her system. Who was this bearded man? she wondered. His name was another clue, she thought. It, too, sounded familiar, but she couldn't quite put all the pieces together. "Is your given name so terrible?" Unaccountably she found herself eager to know more about this attractive man with the devastating smile.
He lifted a sculptured brow, and his lips curved into the sexiest smile Juliet had ever seen. "It's certainly not a sweet name like yours," he countered. "Let's just say only my wife, my parents, and my best friend will ever know what it is."
Juliet tried to pull her face from his tender hold as she blurted a question she would have given anything to retrieve. "Your wife?" She should have known. Unless they were professional bachelors, all the really breathtaking male specimens were taken-and she could well imagine the gorgeous woman Hooker would have chosen for his mate. She renewed her efforts to ease from his grasp, knowing she should leave now, rain or no rain, but he continued to hold her with velvet fingers.
His smooth thumb began a gentle assault upon her lower lip as he explored its fullness. "I've never had a wife," he whispered. The small fire inside Juliet began to build and crackle in response to his words while the unrelenting storm formed a barrier to the world.
The flame inside Juliet seemed to catch fire in Hooker's ebony eyes as he gazed at her sensual mouth. She knew he was going to kiss her if she didn't put a stop to it. Drawing on all the ?nice girl? training stuffed into her brain by one very forthright mother, she found the strength to pull away and take up the conversation again.
"Have you always been a writer?"
She's not only ethical, she's careful, he decided, straightening up. "All my life ... but it's a new field for me professionally."
"Then what did you do before?" She began to examine his features again, looking for a clue, feeling her eyes drawn again and again to his intense gaze. "This is driving me crazy. Hooker. Help me out." She continued her searching gaze. "It's your eyes!" she declared positively. "I always remember people's eyes, and yours are more expressive than most." When he only grinned, she huffed in exasperation. "Well! Are you going to tell me or not?"
He was enjoying her predicament and did love practical jokes, but he knew he couldn't string her along much longer. Yet strange though it seemed, he wanted her to know his full identity. When he'd decided to tell her his name, somehow he'd sensed his secret would be safe with Juliet. "I'll give you a hint." He leaned toward her and began to gather her in his arms.
Alarmed, Juliet stiffened. "Hey, now, wait just a minute!"
Raising that wonderful brow again, he gave her a baleful look. "I wasn't planning to ravish you, Juliet." Not yet! He had a difficult time keeping the humor from his voice and subduing the teasing light in his veiled gaze. "What kind of a man do you think I am?"
"How should I know? I just met you."
"But you think you know me," he countered. "So trust me." He eased her back into his arms and murmured against the damp ringlets at her ear. "Now just relax and let your senses take over. You're experiencing my little hint right now."
Although she remained quiet within his embrace, her face nestled against his soft beard and the warmth of his neck, her mind was working frantically. Once again she examined the clues, trying to decipher the key to Hooker's identity.

Hi friends, I would like to share my experience with you. I have worked two stations sucessfully via FO-29 today in the 15:04z pass. The setup was very simple: -For uplink I have used my old FT-290R and a 30W PA with a simple 1/4 wave VHF magnetic antenna. -For downlink I have used my Kenwood TH-F7E (European version of the F6A) with a MFJ-1717 dual band whip and a pair of earphones. I was sitting on my car and I held the F7 with my left hand out of the window (I can move the F7 to look for the best signal and with the fingers I can tune the HT). With the right hand I held the mic. I heard the beacon in the first minute of the pass, and then I switched to the center frecuency of the transponder (+- doppler). I could hear my own signal strong. Then I called CQ and two stations answered me. I could hear the satellite very well all the pass (of course looking for the best signal moving the F7). I know that this require pratice, but I think this is a challenge! Now I will work in a handsfree for my FT-290 and I will be able to tune my uplink also. Now I can work the FO-29 (plus UO-14, SO-50 and AO-27) from my holidays QTH (IM67) with a simple setup. Just my experience! Best 73s to all, Pedro EB4DKA IM78CX ---- Sent via email@example.com.

Studying leishmaniasis – a parasitic disease that affects populations in tropical climates – has special meaning for University of Iowa doctoral student Jason Weirather.
Leishmaniasis is caused by infection with Leishmania parasites, which are spread by the bite of infected sand flies. Cutaneous leishmaniasis can cause skin sores in some people, while visceral leishmaniasis affects some of the body's internal organs such as the spleen, liver, and bone marrow.
United States soldiers fighting in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been afflicted with the disease. Weirather served as an Army medic in Iraq in 2005-06, so he has seen the disease's impact first hand.
Weirather, a Ph.D. candidate in genetics, works in Professor Mary Wilson's laboratory and is working to gain an understanding of genetic differences between people who are able to self-cure leishmaniasis and others who develop serious and sometimes fatal illnesses. "For somewhat elusive reasons, most infected people cure the disease without developing symptoms, whereas others go on to develop either a local or a widely spread form of symptomatic leishmaniasis," Weirather said. "We are investigating genetic differences between individuals exposed to visceral leishmaniasis in northeast Brazil."
Weirather finds time to develop his instructional skills outside of the typical academic setting by teaching judo and Sunday school classes.

70th Birthday Party Magic – Private Event Phoenix, AZ
I don't get a lot of calls for summer time parties; A bit hot in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. However, I had the pleasure of performing at a 70th birthday party the other day. It was held at a local restaurant and attended mostly by family members.
The 70th birthday party boy (I think we are always little boys when it comes to birthdays) was a very kind man who was taken by the love his family showed. It was quite tender.
I performed a stand up set from the head of the table. This can be tough if not set up properly. Luckily, the host and I chatted a bit and the room was well set for this type of performance.
The stand-up magic I like to perform at birthday parties centers on the guests as the birthday person is often overwhelmed by the attention he or she is receiving. That said, there is one special piece that does focus on the birthday child. It involves him or her, a bit of mind reading and a lot of fun. Very upbeat and celebratory.
The performance was much appreciated and I got a wonderful hug from the man's wife and daughter who both said it help make the evening very special.
I'd be delighted to perform at a special adult birthday celebration you're hosting. We'll have great fun celebrating the birthday, creating memories and magic. If you want to know what others have thought about my work, there are numerous testimonials mixed in the the articles and a few I've put in the what people say about Gene page.

magic happens at AdOn Network holiday party
2010 has been a great year from spreading the magic at corporate events, trade shows and holiday parties including a great evening with the gang from AdOn Network at the Buttes in Tempe, AZ.
The night started with close up magic. The AdIOn Network people were great fun. They read each others minds, bent silverware, manipulated time and much more. I find engineer types to be some of the finest people for performing strolling magic. Something about the logical mind and magic leads to some startling times.
After dinner the President of the company, Bhaskar Ballapragada, gave much praise to the group for the incredible work they have done this past year. Following his talk I had the privilege of performing my parlor magic and mentalism act. Much of the show's theme had to do with how magic reminds us of our greatness… a timely theme considering the impressive results the employees of AdOn Network achieved this past year.
To top things off, I got the sweetest email from them about my show:
Good Morning Gene,
Thank you for performing at our holiday party. You are still talked about here at AdOn Network. Our guests loved your cocktail walk around performance. Your easy personality and fun nature was contagious.
Your floor show was enjoyed by all that watched it. Your flexibility with the crowd and space was greatly appreciated.
The whole experience was GREAT! Your professional, fun and downright awesome attitude made the night go all the smoother.
Thank you again.

Gene Urban Launches New Parlor Show
By Gene Urban
I've been working on a new parlor magic show designed for small corporate groups. The show, entitled Magic 101… Theory & Explanations, is a series of magical vignettes that demonstrates why magic and mentalism confounds the modern mind.
The show has evolved out of the most common question I am asked by guests… "How do you do that?"
Rather than give some flippant answer, I decided to create a show that blends magical effects with history, theory and explanations.
Most guests know little about performance magic's rich history. It is said that more books have been written about the magic than any other performance art. The first known book, The Discoverie of Witchraft, was written by Reginald Scot in 1584. Since that time 1000's of books and well over a hundred thousand articles have been enjoyed by magicians around the world.
Magic 101… Theory and Explanations is first and foremost magical entertainment. However, guests also learn a bit about the art, its past and some of the techniques and theories employed by magicians. The result is a show today's intelligent audience can enjoy on many levels.
Due to the intimate and personal nature of Magic 101…Theory and Explanations, it is recommended for small corporate and private party groups with less than 80 guests.
Please use the form below for more information and availability or call Gene Urban directly at 602-788-9400.

Parlor Magic – Private Party Scottsdale, AZ
I love to perform magic at private parties. Since much of my work is corporate events, performing at a private party offers a more relaxed, intimate environment.
Most of the time I perform close up magic, yet sometimes I perform a standup style show also known as parlor magic. So what is parlor magic? Well Wikipedia has a great description:
Parlor magic is done for larger audiences than close-up magic (which is for a few people or even one person) and for smaller audiences than stage magic. In parlor magic, the performer is usually standing and on the same level as the audience, which may be seated on chairs or even on the floor. According to the Encyclopedia of Magic and Magicians by T.A. Waters, "The phrase [parlor magic] is often used as a pejorative to imply that an effect under discussion is not suitable for professional performance." Also, many magicians consider the term "parlor" to be old fashioned and limiting, since this type of magic is often done in rooms much larger than the traditional parlor, or even outdoors. A better term for this branch of magic may be "platform," "club" or "cabaret."
My parlor show combines magic, mentalism, comedy and lots of audience interaction. The underlying theme is an expose on why magic fools people combined with a bit of history and lots of mind-bending tricks.
Below is what one of the premier talent agencies in the Phoenix area says about the magic of Gene Urban:
I've had the pleasure of working with Gene Urban for over 20 years. When it comes to talent, professionalism and class, Gene simply has no peers in his field. Gene has an incredible gift for the craft of mentalism and sleight of hand magic.
If you are planning a private party, Gene Urban's magic will be a sure fire hit. You can contact him at 602-788-940o or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

when you hire a magician ask good questions
People often hire a magician for a private party in their home. Some clients want close up magic, while others want a stand-up or parlor magic show. Quite often a host wants a mix of both.
Hiring a magician to perform close up magic doesn't require much pre planning while a stand up show does. I ask people to think about the following when they want me to perform a stand up show for all the guests:
- Does the home lend itself to having everyone gather together for the standup or parlor magic show.?
- Will everyone be comfortable? Is there going to be enough seating?
- Will the guests be able to see the performance? (This can be a big problem with back yard shows where there isn't much light.)
I have found, in most cases, it is difficult to pull off a group show unless it is well planned and thought out prior to the event. As the host, it is important to discuss possible locations for the stand up magic show and make sure to plan the layout of the room so guests are comfortable, visibility is good and it is the type of party and group that lends itself to a gathering.
I hope this help when you hire a magician to perform at your next private party. If it is in the Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, Sedona or other parts of Arizona and California, I would be honored to WOW your guests and help you have a party people will remember for years.

"The Bachelorette" 2014 has started filming Andi Dorfman's jourey to find true love. Every season spoilers are reported about who goes on which dates and who gets sent home. Reality Steve reported spoilers on March 18 about some of the dates that Andi is going on, including her first one-on-one.
Who is the lucky man to get Andi's first one-on-one date? Eric Hill was the man selected for the date that took place at Ventura Beach. There is not information yet on exact details.
The next date reported was a group date. There were 14 men on the date and part of it took place at OHM Nightclub in Highland. The group did not have a competition, but the men were divided up into groups and performed for Andi. It is not known who received the rose on this date. The rose was probably given to a lucky guy at the after party.
Other episodes are continuing to be filmed right now! Only two dates took place in Los Angeles before "The Bachelorette" crew moved on to film in Santa Barbara. After the Santa Barbara dates the remaining men and Andi will jet off to some exotic lands to complete their journey.
The season premiere of "The Bachelorette" is scheduled to air on ABC May 19 at 8 p.m. CST.

The sport curling evokes thoughts of the Winter Olympics and icy conditions, but San Diego residence can try their hand at the icy sport with the league Curl San Diego. The objective of Curl San Diego is to promote and support the sport. They host their games and sessions in the Escondido Ico-plex.
The goal in curling is to get the stones from one end of the ice, to different areas inside the target area called the house, which has three levels of rings and a target center called the button. Each team has four players (although it is possible to play with teams of three) there is the Lead, Second, Vice and the Skip. The Skip is in charge of directing where the stones should be thrown and determines if the sweepers need to sweep faster depending on the ice conditions. Once all the stones have been thrown it is the job of the Vice's from each team look at the house to determine who gets the point and how many points were earned. They typically have eight rounds of curling to accumulate points.
Curl San Diego offers pick-up games on Saturdays from 10:30 p.m. to 1:15 a.m. where there are enough people signed up to play. For those who have never played, Curl San Diego also offers "Learn to Curl" sessions, they don't offer them every weekend but the dates for the next "Learn to Curl" sessions are posted on their website. During the learning sessions participants learn all the factors that go into a perfect curl game. They get tips on how to have good posture when throwing the stone and how to sweep in a way that is effective and moves the stone further or slows it down. The pick-up games are open to any skill level and there is a large spectrum of skill levels on the ice, from beginners to masters of the sport. Although beginners are welcome to play in the pick-up games, they'll have to learn as they play.
The next two pick-up games that will be offered are Saturday May 10 and again on the 17th. Also offered on May 10 they will be offering a Learn to Curl session. Sign up in advanced for the pick-up games on Curl San Diego's website. Curlers will be on the ice for around three hours so it's recommended that they dress warm and wear flat shoes. For those who want to continue the sport, they can purchase their own equipment such as shoes and their own brooms.

Video: Interview with the real Detective Sergeant Gary Jubelin
The real underbelly
The real Detective Inspector Gary Jubelin from Strike Force Tuno talks about the case of Terry Falconer's murder.PT5M4S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2d1tl 620 349 January 21, 2013
Clunky title aside, Badness returns the Underbelly franchise to where it works best, a contemporary setting - in this case events that took place in Sydney between 2001 and 2012.
Being a true-crime story, there are no real spoilers, so the opening scene confirms the chief source of badness, Anthony ''Rooster'' Perish (Jonathan LaPaglia), will, by the end of the eight-part series, be caught by his nemesis, Detective Sergeant Gary Jubelin (Matt Nable). It also establishes the two protagonists as the series anchors.
LaPaglia sells the role well. This is one unpleasant individual. In episode one, he murders drug manufacturer and police informant Terry Falconer. (In real life, he and his brother Andrew were convicted of the murder last year.)
This instalment of the Underbelly franchise is unusual for the amount of time it dedicates to the police investigation. Nable delivers a convincing, nuanced performance as Jubelin, the detective doggedly determined to get his man. And almost stealing the show is Aaron Jeffrey as the erratic, paranoid police informant who leads Jubelin's team towards Perish.
It's a strong yarn and looks terrific. It's hardly flawless but it possesses a vitality that exploits its richest element: a compelling true-crime story.

Earlier this year, I was offered the opportunity to work as a teacher apprentice for a professor who was considered one of the best in the communications department. I was offered the position because of my hard work in the field, and immediately accepted his offer. Little did I know that he had a history for harassing female students and was hiring me for other reasons.
The first couple of months went by with no trouble, but during the third I began to feel very uncomfortable. As a "gift" for handling the lab by myself for a week, he presented me with real silver earrings. At the same time, whenever I would work at a certain station with him, he would get uncomfortably close. I would ask for him to move politely, but he would either laugh it off or shift even closer. I knew I needed to tell someone– and soon.
I turned to my female co-worker. She revealed to me that similar things had occurred between him and other women, but the women were too afraid to voice their complaints for fear of being fired or having points deducted from their grades. (If we were to work with him, we had to be in at least one of his classes.) One girl received a pair of hand-knitted socks while another was constantly presented with gifts whenever he returned from a trip. My co-worker continued by telling me that she and several other ex-workers found a certain online bookstore with his wish list on it. Included were books like "How to Woo Younger Women for Men Thirty-Five and Older Volume Two" and "Inside Japanese Sex Houses."
I was outraged! How could no one report such foul things? I knew then and there that I had to be the one to speak up even if my grade was affected.
My co-worker and I filed a complaint at the Human Resources Department. I then filed one at the Sexual Harassment office and wrote a letter to the head of the Department of Communications. Despite all of my attempts, the case was shut down for lack of evidence. The website was considered "hearsay" and my complaints were nothing compared to other cases (i.e. physical harassment and/or rape) in their eyes.
Tenure was also keeping him safe even though other people had spoken negatively about his classes.
At the end of the day, yes, I am furious about the results. However, I was neither ashamed nor afraid to be the first to speak the truth. I encourage other young girls to do the same if in a similar situation. Your voice is a mighty tool- use it, no matter what anyone else says! Who knows? I might be the pebble that gets the boulder rolling…. I do hope so.

Women's Basketball Game Day: South Carolina State
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 02/22/2013
Two things that could be learned from the first matchup between these two teams, in which SCSU topped B-CU 58-39, in spite of a five-point Lady Wildcats' halftime lead. Firstly, B-CU is capable of stopping SCSU's transition game and offensive attack. Second, they have to keep the pressure on the Lady Bulldogs and play a complete game to earn the victory.
At the game in Orangeburg, SCSU held B-CU to just 14 points in the second half after trailing 25-20 at half.
Notes on the South Carolina State Lady Bulldogs
The Lady Bulldogs may have had their eyes opened this week, after barely defeating North Carolina Central (1-24, 1-11 MEAC), in a 40-39 win on Monday.
Since topping the Lady Wildcats, SCSU is 4-2 with four of those games at home. Held to just four points in the first outing, Tiara Knotts continues to lead the Lady Bulldogs with 13.3 PPG and 2.6 SPG. Containing her scoring could be a huge factor in playing the game at Moore Gymnasium.
Stepping up in Knotts' lull, Ashley Clarke scored 15 in the first go-around with the Lady Wildcats, and averages 10.7 PPG, along with 6.9 RPG. Kourtney Williams also logged double figures (11) against B-CU and has contributed an average of 8.1 PPG on the year.
Holding onto the ball and forcing the Lady Bulldogs into miscues will be the most important stats of the game on Saturday, likely to determine the outcome.
Notes on the Lady Wildcats
Chastity René Taylor continues to lead the B-CU scoring on the season with 13.5 PPG, but has hit a scoring slump, falling short of double figures the last three outings. Getting her rolling again, in front of the home crowd, will allow B-CU to spread the floor on SCSU and attack more inside.
Jasmine Evans stepped up in Orangeburg with 10 points on 4-of-9 shooting, but will she have the same impact in this game? Terrenisha Hollis is a huge factor when she's scoring, averaging 9.0 PPG, 5.3 RPG, while also heading up the defensive effort with 2.2 SPG.
With no on-court seniors are on the roster, B-CU will honor a pair of seniors in the classroom before Saturday's game. Both redshirt juniors, point guard Shakeyia Colyer and forward Sharnese Neal will be recognized as part of B-CU's annual Senior Day celebration.

Live Stats: As always, at home B-CU Athletics will provide live stats during the game at this Link.

The Wauwatosa Spartans Football Club hit the road to Shorewood to face the Shorewood Monarchs in Ironman Football League action on Saturday night. After a hard-fought game, the Spartans were able to come away with another win, 24-16, to move to 3-0 on the season.
After a slow start for both sides, the Spartan offense found the end zone halfway through the first quarter, when quarterback Tony Henner connected with wide receiver Raymon Porchia on a 70-yard touchdown pass and a 7-0 lead. But the Monarchs got on the board shortly after, when they blocked a punt, forcing the Spartans to kick the loose ball out of the end zone for a safety and a 7-2 lead.
But the Spartans regained momentum in the second quarter when Henner found wide receiver Dominique Washington for a quick 40-yard touchdown, and a 14-2 lead. The Monarchs struck later in the second quarter, closing the gap with a 10-yard touchdown run and failed two-point conversion, to make it 14-8, where it would stay until halftime.
On their second offensive series of the second half, the Spartans began a long, clock-eating march that culminated in a 40-yard Charlie Henke field goal, upping the lead to 17-8.
After the defense forced a Monarch punt, Henner found Porchia for a 20-yard touchdown, putting the Spartans up, 24-8.
The Monarchs came back late in the fourth quarter with another touchdown and two-point conversion, to close it to 24-16.
The Spartans (3-0) travel to Westosha Central High School to take on the conference rival Southern Lakes Blue Devils at 6 p.m. Saturday. The Blue Devils (0-3) are already desperate for a win after losing the first three games of the season.

In a landmark decision on the rights of foreign nationals to obtain accurate immigration counsel, the Supreme Court ruled on March 31st that lawyers must advise their noncitizen clients about the risk of deportation if they accept a guilty plea. In doing so, the Court affirmed the right to counsel for noncitizens charged with committing a crime. The Supreme Court in Padilla v. Kentucky recognized that current immigration laws dramatically raise the stakes of a noncitizen's criminal conviction and impose harsh and mandatory deportation consequences for such convictions. "The importance of accurate legal advice for noncitizens accused of crimes has never been more important," the Court proclaimed.
The case involved a 40-year permanent resident, Jose Padilla, whose criminal defense lawyer advised him not to worry about the immigration consequences of pleading guilty to a crime. That advice was not only wrong but the guilty plea subjected Mr. Padilla to mandatory deportation from the United States. The Kentucky Supreme Court held that Mr. Padilla had no right to withdraw his plea when he learned of the deportation consequence. The Supreme Court reversed that decision and rejected the federal government's position – also adopted by several other courts – that a noncitizen is protected only from "affirmative misadvice" and not from a lawyer's failure to provide any advice about the immigration consequences of a plea. The Court held that Mr. Padilla's counsel was constitutionally deficient and affirmed that immigrants should not be held accountable when they rely on incorrect advice from their lawyers or where counsel fails to provide any immigration advice at all.
The Court also considered but discounted concerns that the decision would open the floodgates to the courthouse doors because "a petitioner must convince the court that a decision to reject the plea bargain would have been rational under the circumstances." Nevertheless, the Court's decision will have broad application to immigrants seeking post-conviction relief, even though its precise reach and the practical reality for foreign nationals facing deportation (or having been deported) has yet to be determined. At a minimum, it will permit those foreign nationals who were not counseled by their lawyers on the immigration consequences of their guilty pleas to assess whether their case should be reconsidered.
Significantly, the decision also acknowledges in no uncertain terms that the increased criminalization and lack of flexibility of immigration law have led to harsh results. The Court concluded: "counsel must inform her client whether his plea carries a risk of deportation. Our longstanding Sixth Amendment precedents, the seriousness of deportation as a consequence of a criminal plea, and the concomitant impact of deportation on families living lawfully in this country demand no less."
We will provide more guidance on the implications of Padilla in the upcoming weeks and months. In the meantime, contact us if you believe your case may benefit from a Padilla review.


text: "Paddleboarding provides a social opportunity" Should the topic of stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in Banderas Bay come up in conversations among boaters, it shouldn't surprise you if the surname "Finer" is mentioned repeatedly. After all, Adam, along with his wife, Veronica, is largely responsible for the initial boom this increasingly popular sport has had locally. Neither is a stranger to water-related activities. Their paths crossed for the first time some 10 years ago, while windsurfing and kitesurfing in Hood River, Oregon. Adam had a keen interest in video production, having started working as an editor in his early 20s. When Veronica returned to Oregon the following year, she joined Adam on a three-month summer road trip through Baja California, where he was working on a documentary. When the project wrapped up in Cabo San Lucas—Adam and Veronica now a couple—he drove her back home to Careyes, south of Puerto Vallarta, eventually settling permanently in Banderas Bay. When windsurfing manufacturing company Starboard decided to test the waters, literally, with a line of stand-up paddleboards, Adam, who had a longstanding working relationship with the company, brought to Mexico one of the first boards that started showing up in Hood River retail shops in 2006. It was fun, but it was not love at first sight. "There were no other people in Banderas Bay interested in SUP," remembers Adam. "They were surfing waves with it, but people were not convinced it was hip." Enough people showed interest in the new sport, however, that Adam and Veronica brought a half-dozen boards from the USA the following year, eventually leading to the creation of Pacific Paddle, their Bucerias-based operation. Today, Pacific Paddle is an important provider of SUP-related equipment and offers instruction and rentals, along with a variety of excursions to popular paddleboarding destinations within Banderas Bay. Aside from the full-body workout and other health benefits commonly associated with paddleboarding, the Finers relish the sport's broad demographics, with women making up the largest group. "It provides a social opportunity," comments Adam. "From children to older couples, even retirees in their 60s and 70s, many people in Banderas Bay have taken to it with a passion." The couple's love for water-related sports and activities, combined with their continued interest in video production, has led to a variety of short films promoting nautical activities in the area, many of which can be found online on their Vimeo channel. Visit www.vimeo.com and search for "pacific paddle." In addition, Adam shares production credits in Sharktopus and Dinoshark, two Roger Corman-endorsed motion pictures produced locally in 2010.

College Hockey:Ohio State, Michigan outdoor game set for Jan. 15 at Progressive Field
Ohio State will take on Michigan in an outdoor hockey game, the "Frozen Diamond Faceoff," Jan. 15, 2012 in Cleveland, the MLB Cleveland Indians announced Thursday.
The game, a CCHA contest slated for a 5:05 p.m. faceoff, will be part of Indians Snow Days at Progressive Field.
"This is a great opportunity for our program and student-athletes," Ohio State head coach Mark Osiecki said in a statement. "I was involved with two outdoor games at Wisconsin and they really are something special for everyone involved. It's such a unique experience to play on an outdoor rink in front of so many fans."
The regulation-sized ice sheet will be situated on the infield covering home plate and stretching down the first base line.
Ohio State first played in an outdoor game Feb. 11, 2006, when it faced off against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. Osiecki was an assistant coach for the Badgers in the game, which was played in front of 40,890 fans.
The Wolverines first took part in the Cold War game at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Mich., on Oct. 6, 2001, against Michigan State and then again versus the Spartans last Dec. 11 in the "Big Chill at the Big House" at Michigan Stadium.
Specifics on the ticket presale will be released in the coming weeks.

A spring Nor'easter is the last thing that people in New England want to hear about right now -- but it looks like it's coming. An all-too-familiar weather forecast has many areas of the northeast prepping for what is being called a "bomb nor'easter" with some areas potentially getting well over a foot of snow. On March 23, NewsOXY reported that the storm will roll into Massachusetts on Tuesday night and will be heaviest through the night into the morning hours.
The storm is set to hit SE Mass, the Cape, and the Islands the hardest but any change in track could push those snow totals up or bring them down.
A spring Nor'easter isn't too uncommon (anyone remember the April Fool's storm?) but after a bitterly cold winter filled with a healthy amount of snow every other week, people are just over it at this point. Many have already put their shovels away and started planning their early planting plans... but alas it looks like there will be one more big hit before it's all said and done.
Although the storm is still two days out, most local news stations are confident that the area will see some snow. The biggest question is just how much will we get?
A spring Nor'easter isn't welcome but there is a silver lining: It is late March and the days following the snow will be in the 50's so the snow won't stick around for too long. In fact, you could see grass again by the weekend. And breathe.

The God of Small Things
by Arundhati Roy
The God of Small Things Theme of Versions of Reality
Throughout The God of Small Things, we get to see how things look from different characters' points of view – different versions of the same reality. We see Estha and Rahel at two very different points in their lives, 23 years apart. There is a stark difference between their perspectives as 7-year-olds and as 31-year-olds. As kids, we see them learning about the world as they go; as adults, they are trying to make sense of the past.
Questions About Versions of Reality
- What are some ways in which the twins are frightened by the way they perceive the world?
- How might it be useful for Rahel to create alternate explanations for Sophie Mol's death?
- What are some examples of how adults and kids view the same situation differently in the novel?
- Sometimes the way the twins view the world as kids can seem silly or cute, but in what ways are their observations insightful?
Chew on This
Viewing one event from multiple perspectives helps us get at the one true story.
Viewing one event from multiple perspectives shows us that there is no single "correct" version of things.

Rick Ross Facing Paternity Suit In Florida
Tyrisha Childers, 36, has filed a paternity suit against rapper Rick Ross in Broward County, Florida claiming he fathered her 3-year-old son.
Childers says Ross (born William Leonard Roberts II) has not provided for her 3-year-old son physically or financially since his birth and she's seeking child support.
According to court documents, Tyrisha is in a serious financial struggle with zero income outside of a monthly disability check she receives. It's not clear if she or the child has a disability.
Rick Ross adamantly denies he's the father of Tyrisha's son and has filed a response to her paternity suit claiming he never slept with her so he couldn't be the child's father.
I'm wondering why Tyrisha waited three years before filing a paternity suit if she was sure Rick Ross was the father. I hope she doesn't end up embarrassing herself. If Rick Ross is indeed the father I hope he steps up and takes care of his responsibility.

Based in Los Angeles, Ready Never sound mixes EDM, and house to produce a developed sound that is different. Music lovers will undeniably find their album, Eleutherophobia, encompasses an electro pop vibe. From the opener, "Assistant Press Play," an eclectic song that could be used for working out or at a party, to the finale, "Victim of Vice," Ready Never adds a notable component to the electronic genre.
"Assistant Press Play" sets the tone for the album. The song is radio-friendly and extremely memorable. The beat simultaneously provides the opportunity to hear the band's bass, synths and other instruments while also hearing vocalist Benny Ed on vocals amidst the music. The lead single on Eleutherophobia is "Take That Pill," a cynical and lampooning look at society's obsession with pill popping.
The title track is a tour de force. The sounds bump through the speakers and offer up more than a glimpse into the musical capabilities of Ready Never. It's beat is extensively structured and never lets up. On "Tell Me," the sound becomes a bit 80's, but keeps with the tone of Eleutherophobia - a cross between fusion rock and audio brewed dance music. "Me Myself and I" echoes through the speakers and features DJ Mendez giving an additional element to Ready Never's sonic understanding and "Victim of Vice," takes listeners on a journey through Ready Never's fascination with house music.
The band started when Benny Ed and Rudi Meibergen began writing songs in 2012. Benny Ed at the time, was a touring musician while Meibergen worked as a composer and producer. The two minds collaborate well extensively ensuring that the sounds emanating from the speakers are very different from what one would expect in listening to EDM. Eleutherophobia is Ready Never's first album and as the band notes, "we wanted to write songs and make electronic dance music. But we wanted to be able to perform the music, not just play it back; which is what makes our live sound quite different from our studio sound." And the live sound definitely creates an uncommon music experience.
Final Grade: A

Does Alcon Deal Stack Up For Novartis?
Introducing Anita Greil, Dow Jones' Bureau Chief in Switzerland, who has covered the pharmaceuticals sector for DJ Newswires since 2002.
Novartis is ready to splash out nearly $50 billion to enter the rapidly growing market for eyecare products, by acquiring full ownership of Alcon in a several-steps transaction.
The Swiss drugmaker expects this corner of the healthcare market to grow by up to 7% a year over the next five years, faster than the market for branded prescription drugs, which will probably expand at a rate of just 5%. That's because the market for such drugs is facing an avalanche of problems, starting with an unprecedentedly high number of products losing patent protection. This means healthcare payers will replace comparatively expensive branded products with cheaper generic versions.
What's more, governments worldwide are seeking ways to rein in healthcare spending as they need to tighten their belts to pay for the various economic stimulus programs entered over the last two years to cushion the blow from the financial crisis on their economies.
Last, but not least, drugmakers like Novartis have been slow to come up with new drugs that could compensate for revenue lost to generics as older drugs go off patent.
Daniel Vasella, Novartis's CEO has been one of the first "big pharma" executives to see the writing on the wall. He started to widen the company's revenue base by branching out into faster growing – albeit from a lower base – areas of healthcare. Novartis became a major force in the generics market, years before competitors like Sanofi Aventis, when it acquired German generics company Hexal in 2005. A year later, Novartis entered the vaccines market through its purchase of Chiron, again years before other big drugmakers rediscovered this market. Most of the world's leading drugmakers had neglected vaccines for decades, because the business was considered low-margin and low-growth. With the emergence last year of the first flu pandemic in forty years, vaccines suddenly became a hot business and Novartis expects to book huge profits from government orders of vaccines to protect their citizens from the flu.
The catch is, that despite having executed a visionary strategy of entering new healthcare niches early, the strategy hasn't paid off yet. Novartis may be the world's second biggest generics maker, but the division hasn't yet contributed much to profits, and some analysts say it would be more valuable as a stand-alone business rather than under the Novartis roof. The vaccines business too – as a whole – has yet to turn profitable, despite a surge in sales last year.
Novartis shares today are trading at around the same level they were at five years ago, when the company started to diversify into healthcare niches, and set on course to achieve Vasella's goal of becoming a healthcare conglomerate like Johnson & Johnson. Compare that to cross-town rival Roche, which pursued the opposite strategy and sold off low-margin business like over-the-counter drugs to focus on branded prescription drugs, and whose shares are worth 50% more today than they were in 2005.
So the jury is still out as to whether its huge investment to enter the eyecare market will pay off. It may grow more quickly than the traditional drugs market, but it is starting at a low base. Novartis estimates the global eyecare market was worth $26 billion in 2008, a tiny fraction of the $700 billion market for branded prescription drugs.

Bitcoin Trading: Will the Cryptocurrency Close the Day Above $500?
Mike McAra
For now, short positions should be held.
At my firm, we've long been discussing Mt.Gox's fall and the credibility of its claims that its Bitcoins might have been stolen via transaction malleability exploits. Now it seems Christian Decker and Roger Wattenhofer of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich have come up with a
in which they analyze Bitcoin transactions on Mt.Gox starting with data from January 2013.
The findings are puzzling at best:
The transaction malleability problem is real and should be considered when implementing Bitcoin clients. However, while Mt.Gox claimed to have lost 850,000 bitcoins due to malleability attacks, we merely observed a total of 302,000 Bitcoins ever being involved in malleability attacks. Of these, only 1,811 Bitcoins were in attacks before MtGox stopped users from withdrawing Bitcoins. Even more, 78.64% of these attacks were ineffective. As such, barely 386 Bitcoins could have been stolen using malleability attacks from Mt.Gox or from other businesses. Even if all of these attacks were targeted against Mt.Gox, Mt.Gox needs to explain the whereabouts of 849,600 Bitcoins.
Of course, it is still possible that funds were stolen before January 2013, but the results of the study are rather unsettling. It could suggest that the scale of the transaction malleability problem for Mt.Gox might have been overstated by the exchange. It also leaves more questions open, such as, what actually happened with the coins?
This comes in as another analysis questioning the possibility of all the exchange's funds disappearing due to transaction malleability theft arrives. Earlier this month, the exchange supposedly found BTC 200,000 (over $100 million at that time) in an "unused" wallet. My firm has also previously written about speculation that Mt.Gox might have actually lost access to Bitcoins it stored rather than being hacked.
All of this, however, is highly speculative. Mt.Gox is now under investigation by the Japanese authorities. We'll be curiously waiting for the findings of this investigation.
Now, let's move on to the charts.
Bitcoin lost 18.3% on BitStamp yesterday. The volume at over BTC 49,000 was the heaviest since Mar. 3. Importantly, Bitcoin broke below the $500 level (solid red line on the chart). The situation at the close yesterday was extremely bearish.
Today we've seen appreciation, and at the time of this writing, Bitcoin is trading slightly above $500. The volume looks like it won't be as heavy as yesterday, but it is relatively strong nonetheless. The most important question for us now is whether Bitcoin closes the day above $500 or below this level.
Our view is that if we see a close above $500,
should be closed as far as speculative capital is concerned. If the currency closes the day below $500, we won't immediately suggest closing short positions but will wait for the situation to evolve.
On BTC-e, Bitcoin lost 16.3% yesterday slipping below $500 (solid red line on the chart) on volume more than four times higher than on the day before. This was a major bearish development.
Today, we've seen a move back above $500, the volume has been high, and it's possible that it will end up not significantly lower than yesterday. Just as is the case for BitStamp, today's close might clear things up a bit. If Bitcoin stays above $500, we will suggest closing shorts. If the end-of-day price is under $500, we will suggest keeping shorts and monitoring the market closely (this is my firm's opinion).
Summing up, in our opinion, short positions should be kept at this moment, but one needs to be particularly careful since a close above $500 on BitStamp or BTC-e would serve as a signal to close those positions.
Trading position (short-term, our opinion):
short; stop-loss at $550 ($50 lower than yesterday). If we see a daily close above $500 on BitStamp or BTC-e, short positions should be closed.

Hunter got to go over to his great's today since I had the day off for a doctor's appointment.
It is so neat seeing him play with all the stuff I did as a child.
The piano is a magnet for him as soon as he walks through the door.
He is getting good to... : )
Also, the beloved play room has become one of Hunter's favorites as well. I spent much of my time in this room playing with the exact same toys growing up. It was like going back in time. I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Hunter acted like I detached one of his limbs when I told him we had to leave to go to my appointment.
I told my Grandma when I became a Grandmother I was going to have a play room just like her. She told me I would probably have the same toys in the room.

Basic Guide To Cycling Jerseys
Fashion, function and form all play pivotal roles in jersey design. The ideal jersey is one that looks good, fits well, regulates body temperature, and has rear pockets for carrying extra clothes, food, and other essential personal items like cash and your mobile phone. Here's a look at the key areas to examine when buying a cycling jersey:
Fabric: Most cycling jerseys are made from synthetic materials designed to wick moisture away from your body, keeping you dry and comfortable. The most effective materials are Polyester, Polyester/Lycra blends, or Proprietary Polyester weaves and blends.
Fit: If you plan on racing, or just hate the idea of material flopping in the wind during a speedy descent, look for jerseys with a "Race" fit. These will be snug at the waist, sleeves, neck and chest, providing increased aerodynamic efficiency.
If you're a more casual rider who prefers a little extra room to move around in, then opt for a looser "Club" or "Recreation" fit. These jerseys fit like a golf shirt, with more room in the shoulders and mid-section than a Race fit jersey.
Zipper: Zipper length changes both the way a jersey fits, the amount of ventilation it can provide, and its price. You'll typically pay a little more for a jersey with a full-length zipper, but on a brutal hot day being able to fully unzip is a nice bonus. A 10-inch zipper allows easy removal and some venting, while a 14-inch zipper goes down to just above the navel for increased ventilation. One other consideration is how tight the jersey is. Jerseys with full length zippers, which open like a button down shirt, are a lot easier to get off.
Sleeves: Cycling jersey sleeves typically fall into two categories, traditional and raglan. Traditional sleeves have a seam that runs nearly straight up from the armpit. Raglan sleeves have a seam the run from the neckline to the armpit. Most cycling jersey are of the raglan variety because this set-up provides greater range of motion and is more comfortable, especially when you're riding in a low aerodynamic position.
