About the Book
The Average American Marriage, the long-awaited sequel to Chad Kultgen's much debated, always controversial The Average American Male, is a matter-of-fact foray into the male mind and sexual fantasy.
Now married with children, Kultgen's lewd and sex-obsessed narrator once again offers up his deep (and not so deep) thoughts on love, marriage, kids, and (naturally) sex: from birthday sex to interns to parenting, The Average American Male looks upon the institution of marriage with the same deadpan smirk he has brought to the rest of his sex-addled, perennially disaffected life.
In the beginning, there was The Average American Male.
Maxim called it "pure filth."
Even Penthouse called it "appalling."
The New York Times called it "the literary love child of Neil LaBute, Judy Blume, and Eminem."
Now, Chad Kultgen's unforgettable antihero is back—this time as a married man.
I can feel something hot twisting and burning in the pit of my stomach. For a fleeting moment I think back to a time when I was with Casey, my girlfriend before Alyna....I tried to initiate something by grabbing her tit and kissing her when we walked through her front door. She turned to me and said something about how our relationship didn't always have to be about sex. I remember how much I wanted to smash something when she said that, how much I wanted to scream in her face that our relationship was only about sex....Relationships between men and women are only about sex. The rest of the sh*t is incidental.
Welcome back.

This morning the House Committee on the Judiciary will hold a hearing examining the Department of Justice's (DOJ) record on voting rights enforcement. Protecting voters' rights is at the core of what the League of Women Voters does so we have to ask: Why is the Judiciary committee holding this hearing rather than taking on the anti-voter laws that were hastily passed in so many states around the country?

Sharks in Sochi
Roundup of news and game schedules for the four San Jose Shark players at Sochi 2014 after Saturday's bronze medal game and Canada's practice before its gold medal game Sunday.
ANTTI NIEMI: He served as backup goalie for Team Finland in the 5-0 triumph over Team USA for the bronze medal. Although he did not play a minute in the tournament, Niemi could not have been more excited as he spoke with the bronze medal wrapped around his neck. "It was great," he said, "just the experience of being part of a great team and battling the bigger countries and bigger teams." So if he'd known what his role would be in advance, he'd still have accepted the spot on the roster? "Sure," he replied. "Just to be part of the Olympics is worth it. And now, getting a medal, it's even better."
Next: Sharks play at Philadelphia on Thursday.
JOE PAVELSKI: Along with most of his American teammates, he seemed a little stunned by the bronze medal loss. Four years ago, the USA had defeated Finland 6-1 in an Olympic quarterfinal at Vancouver. If this was revenge, the Finns succeeded. Pavelski's line, so effective early in the tournament with Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk, could produce nothing for the second straight game. "It's hard to say what happened, exactly, until you look at the film," Pavelski said. It didn't help that Van Riemsdyk sustained an apparent hand injury in the first period and took just four shifts the rest of the way, forcing Pavelski to shuffle in with different combinations. He ended the tournament with five points, tying him for the team's second-leading scorer.
Next: Sharks play at Philadelphia on Thursday.
PATRICK MARLEAU: Practiced with Team Canada for Sunday's gold medal game against Sweden. Marleau has checked his ego at the rink door and concentrated first on defense as the team has advanced to the Olympic finals. Mike Babcock, Canada's coach, spoke in general about how he's been able to convince his players to do that: "They want to win. It is real simple and sometimes I think we get confused. It's not about who scores the goals or who blocks the shots or who plays. It is about winning. It is about Canada and hockey supremacy." Yeah, guess that guy could fire up a team.
Next: Canada plays Sweden in the gold medal game Sunday at 4 a.m. Pacific time.
MARC-EDOUARD VLASIC: He also practiced with Team Canada. This is his first Olympics -- unlike Marleau, who won a gold medal in Vancouver -- so Vlasic is very excited to participate in Sunday's game. Said Vlasic of what it would mean to be an Olympic champion: "That's all Canada wants, that's all we want -- to win a gold medal."
Next: Canada plays Sweden in the gold medal game Sunday at 4 a.m. Pacific time.

Senate to Try Again for Jobless Benefits Extension
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) said Tuesday lawmakers are still trying to restore emergency jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed after several failed attempts.
Several lawmakers said they are now eyeing a six-month extension of the benefits, which lapsed late last year. Mr. Reid said he hopes to bring legislation to a vote "soon" on the Senate floor. Senate Democrats have been working with a handful of Republicans to extend the employment benefits.
"I'm going to try again," Mr. Reid said, noting he has held "good conversations with Republican senators, plural." Mr. Reid spoke with Sen. Susan Collins (R., Maine) on Monday, according to a senior Democratic aide.
The Senate's earlier efforts to pass an extension of the program collapsed amid partisan disputes over procedure and whether the chamber would hold roll call votes on Republican amendments.
Earlier in February a three-month extension of the unemployment insurance fell two votes short of the 60 needed to advance the measure, effectively lacking just one Republican vote. Mr. Reid had voted no as a tactical move that gives him the right to bring the bill to the floor again.
Reaching a bipartisan deal on the unemployment benefits has faced numerous hurdles, including settling on an acceptable time frame for an extension and how to pay for it.
One idea being discussed now is tapping into the savings generated by the five-year farm bill passed earlier this month. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated the bill would reduce the federal budget deficit by $16.6 billion over a decade.
But some Republicans said they didn't favor turning to the farm bill's savings as an offset for the jobless benefits.
"Simply to trumpet we passed a bill, we've saved money and [when] the next spending issue comes along, we'll spend it on that — that doesn't get me there," said Sen. Dan Coats (R., Ind.)
The three-month extension discussed earlier this year would have cost around $6 billion, offset by a revenue-raising pension measure.
Mr. Coats said that he was inclined to support only a three-month extension and that tacking on three additional months would be "an additional hurdle."

India's Seven-Year Itch
For decades, developers and property buyers had no choice but to look to India's banks for financing — but banks were reluctant lenders when it came to real estate. All that began to change in 2005 when the government allowed foreign direct investment in real estate for the first time.
"Within a year, funds and developers had raised $7 billion to $8 billion of FDI targeted at real estate investment," said Chetan Dave, president and CEO of IDFC Real Estate Investments, speaking at the Nand and Jeet Khemka Distinguished Speaker Forum in February at the Columbia Club in New York. Already, the changes are impressive, said Dave, pointing to the construction of 250 million square feet of new office space "that's already leased and occupied, despite the global economy." Another 55 million square feet has been built for large retailers since 2005.
Most of that cash has already been spent, but Dave expects a second round of fundraising to take place this year. Although some very real frustrations remain, careful — and patient — investors can uncover some real opportunities in Indian real estate.
Tackling Challenges
Dave noted that the removal of three major stumbling blocks could make Indian real estate investing less frustrating — and more rewarding. In the legislative arena, for example, Parliament is considering a number of reforms, such as rent controls that protect tenants' rights and prevent landlords from evicting renters, which in turn discourages development and upkeep of properties. Murky land title issues mean buyers worry that long-lost relatives may emerge to challenge sales. In order to erase some of the uncertainty, "the real estate private sector is actually asking for regulation, something I've never heard of before," said Dave.
A second concern is India's lack of connecting infrastructure. "In this area, we have taken an approach opposite to China's," said Dave. "There, the government is building roads into the vacant countyside because they expect buildings to go up on both sides of the road. In India, I've seen housing complexes where the residents have to walk the last mile because they haven't built the road yet. "Here, too, Dave is optimistic, noting that newspaper editorials and growth-minded local governments are starting to recognize the need for infrastructure.
The third area involves interest rates, which Dave said the government has bumped higher 13 times in the past two years. "While every other country in the world is lowering rates, India is raising them, primarily as a way to contain inflation," he said. As a result, although per capita income has risen from 17,500 rupees at the end of 2001 to 52,500 rupees in the first quarter of 2012, owning a home remains unaffordable to most Indians, he said.
Emerging Opportunities
Beyond investing in funds, Dave suggested a number of real estate plays that investors can make in the country. He pointed to the advent of mortgage sellers and packagers, and companies responsible for improvements in building technologies, "all the things we take for granted in developed markets are new in India," he said.
He also noted that real estate developers look for an exit; once a property is built, they want to sell to a long-term manager. In fact, buying fully leased office buildings is a particular focus of his fund. Although returns may be lower, so are the risks. "This is an approach I couldn't take five years ago because there wasn't any office space!" he said.
Dave's best advice? Find a knowledgeable local partner. "Real estate is an inherently local undertaking, and the fundamentals differ considerably," he noted, ranging from the cost of land to the corruption of local bureaucrats.

To the illustrious and soul-deadening genre of McDonalds Beatings Caught on Tape, we can add this: the one where two irate customers jump the counter so the McDonald's cashier runs in the back and fetches and metal rod and beats the hell out both of them, but the cashier was a man who just spent a decade in prison for manslaughter and the customers were both women so there really aren't any folk heroes here, folks.
Have a good weekend, America.

MARIETTA - It could be some time before the city of Marietta sees the $307,000 for which Edward and Dorothy Verhovec and their attorney, William Walker Jr., were found liable last month, if the money has to be paid at all.
Meanwhile the city's costs in the case continue to rise. The Marietta auditor's office reported as of Thursday the city had paid $331,317 in attorney and court fees.
A ruling issued Nov. 13 by Washington County Common Pleas Judge Susan Boyer ordered the Verhovecs and Walker to pay $307,008 in attorney fees, expenses and court costs related to public records lawsuits filed against the city more than a year ago.
Boyer deemed the lawsuits frivolous and to have been filed in bad faith.
"It's my opinion that they will appeal the Nov. 13 decision," said Marietta Law Director Paul Bertram III.
The judge's decision first has to be journalized by the court, which begins a period for which the Verhovecs can file a notice of appeal.
The appeal would have to be filed within 30 days of the entry date, attorney Greta Kerns of the Squire Sanders Dempsey law firm in Columbus, which is represening the city, providing counsel, said
"They have every right to appeal the common pleas court decision," she said. "If they choose to appeal there will be a period in which briefs are filed and the potential for an oral hearing before the court of appeals."
The original lawsuit filed June 26, 2011, by Edward Verhovec of New Philadelphia involved a public records request for 3,300 cable TV survey cards that were returned to the city by customers in 1999.
The city eventually produced the records, but Verhovec sought $1,000, the maximum allowed by law, for each document not produced in what he considered a reasonable time. The total was $3.3 million.
Because the documents were produced, that case was dismissed earlier this year.
Verhovec also filed similar suits against the city of Uhrichsville and the village of Dennison on June 25, 2011. Those cases are still in initial litigation.
A related action filed against Marietta by Dorothy Verhovec of Uhrichsville sought 20 years of city council records, including handwritten council clerk notes and other information.
A summary judgment issued against Dorothy Verhovec's lawsuit by the common pleas court is under appeal in the Ohio Fourth District Court of Appeals.
Bertram noted if the Nov. 13 decision granting fees and costs to the city is also appealed, it would be handled separately from the original public records suit appeal.
"They would be essentially bifurcated appeals, although they're related to the same case," he said.
Bertram added that if the court of appeals rules in the city's favor, the Verhovecs would also have the right to submit the case to the Ohio Supreme Court.
A final resolution in the cases could take up to a year.
"Optimistically I would say at least nine months," Kerns said. "The summary judgment appeal is moving fairly quickly through the court. We just received a reply brief from that case. But no court hearings have been scheduled for the case at this time."
Once a resolution is reached, if the courts rule in Marietta's favor, it will likely take more time to collect the $307,008 in fees and costs the common pleas court has ruled are owed to the city.
Bertram said a collection process would have to be set up so that assets could be collected from the Verhovecs and Walker, which would include filing judgment documents with the counties in which they reside.
Bertram said it's possible the city could pursue additional attorney fees and court costs that will result from the Verhovecs' appeals, but it would require city council approval.

BRENTWOOD -- Two dogs that got loose in a neighborhood and bit a man and a woman earlier this month will be euthanized, authorities said.
The dogs, a Shar Pei mix and a Labrador retriever, have been held in quarantine by Contra Costa Animal Control since the May 1 attacks on Nunn Street and Hudson Drive. They'll will remain there until May 12, when they are released and put down, Lt. Jane Andreotti said.
The dogs' owner, identified by officials as Jason Payne of Brentwood, met with Andreotti on May 3 and made the decision to put down the dogs, she said.
"I should tell you, I felt Payne was very reasonable and accountable for this incident," Andreotti said in an email. "The whole neighborhood was up in arms, but he did the right thing."
The dogs got loose from Payne's backyard and began wreaking havoc around 9:40 a.m. First, they encountered a man walking his dog in the 3000 block of Hudson Drive. The Shar Pei mix bit that 46-year-old man on the leg as he tried to protect the dog.
From there, they moved back to the 4600 block of Nunn Street, just down the street from Payne's residence, where they bit 52-year-old Carolyn Wax as she left her house to walk the family's Chihuahua. Carolyn's son, Conner, heard a commotion out front from inside the house and shouted at the dogs, causing them to run away. Carolyn Wax needed stitches in her hands, legs and face.
When told of the dogs' fate, Carolyn Wax became emotional and said she "wasn't sure how I feel" about it.
"I feel bad for the dogs, because ultimately, it wasn't their fault," said Jeff Wax, Carolyn's husband. "I put it on the owner."
A woman answered when a reporter knocked on the door to Payne's home on Friday but said he wasn't home. Other attempts to reach Payne were not successful.
Andreotti said Payne had no explanation for how the dogs got loose from his backyard, where a gate was unlatched when Animal Control officials arrived on May 1. She also mentioned that Payne discussed making financial retribution to the victims, but Jeff and Carolyn Wax each said they haven't heard from Payne since the incident.
Carolyn Wax said that she began walking earlier this week for the first time since the attack and remained unsure of whether one or both dogs bit her. She described the incident and her recovery as "traumatic."
"Physically, she's making a lot of progress and doing better," Jeff Wax said. "Emotionally, it's going to take a much longer time."

The City of Roseville has several informational sources for development fees. In addition there are several programs to assist in the calculation and financing of development fees. Each program has unique requirements for qualification.
Fee EstimatesStaff can prepare a custom fee estimate for your proposed project. Fee booklets are also available that explain how each fee is calculated. Visit the Development & Operations page for more information or to download a copy of the booklets. For questions, call (916) 774-5497 or e-mail Laura Matteoli @ email@example.com Community Development Coordinator. Fee Estimate requests typically take 10-15 working days to process.
Development Fee Assistance. There are several programs and services available to assist with development fees associated with new construction.
This program can be used for any type of project (commercial, industrial or residential) and for any amount. SCIP offers two types of programs; The pre-funding option allows the funding to be available when a Building Permit is pulled (and most development fees are due), subject to the timing of bond issuance.

California & Federal Laws BLESS Short Sellers
As hyper-partisan as both Democrats and Republicans have been over the past five years, many believe, it took divine intervention to pass laws, that brought about real financial benefits, for those living under the heavy burden of excessive mortgage debt.
But due to Federal and State Short Sale Legislation, over 500,000 Californians have already profited from no cost mortgage elimination; and with new mortgage guidelines many are buying more affordable homes with low rate mortgages, immediately.
Here Is How It Works.
By completing a short sale, regardless of the final sales price all mortgages are eliminated for free and all closing costs are absorbed by the lien holders. The homeowner pays nothing.
In addition, with the Federal H.A.F.A.® program and other lender initiatives, you may also receive from $1,000 to $20,000.
The Economics of a Short Sale speak for themselves. Simply put, the average underwater borrower, can sell and then buy a home that will be building positive equity, several years before, their existing home is even worth what they owe.
With a YHS Short Sale, instead of waiting 4 to 7 years to qualify for a home loan, as you experience, after a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu; many of our clients are mortgage eligible the next day.
When you add up what this can mean financially, the average underwater Californian, can benefit by $150,000 to $300,000.
We can also help you find a great and affordable home, whenever you're ready; and we'll contribute up to $5,000 in closing costs.
At YourHomeStrategy, we are the leader, in completing short sales successfully, with the knowledge and experience to help you move ongracefullyto the next chapter of your life.
Most importantly, all of our services costs you nothing and we'll contribute financially to your next home purchase.

Using an apple microarray to characterize the CBF-regulon in transgenic 'M.26' apple trees overexpressing a peach CBF gene [abstract]. ASHS National Conference Program. p. 45. Technical Abstract: CBF proteins belong to the CBF/DRE binding sub-family of the Apetala2-ethylene responsive factor (AP2/ERF) super family of transcription factors that bind to a cis-element containing a conserved CCGA core sequence. CBF genes have been shown to regulate a large number of cold-regulated genes that are associated with cold acclimation in both herbaceous and woody plants. In Arabidopsis, cold temperatures initiate a global change in gene expression (approx. 306 genes), 12 percent of which are members of the CBF regulon. In the present study, we utilized a 40,000 feature oligonucleotide-based microarray (Soria-Guerra, et al. 2011, Plant Mol Biol Rep.) to analyze the CBF-regulon in transgenic apple overexpressing a peach CBF gene. Levels of gene expression were compared in leaves of three sets of samples: a) Non-acclimated trees overexpressing a peach CBF gene (T166) vs. Non-Acclimated Untransformed'M.26' (wt) trees; b) Non-Acclimated wt vs. Cold Acclimated wt trees, and c) Cold-Acclimated wt vs. T166 trees. The acclimation regime consisted of placing trees at 4 C and a short photoperiod (8/16) for two weeks. Three biological replicates were included in the analysis where one of the replicates consisted of a dye-swap. Wolfinger and JMP Genomics were utilized to determine the number of significantly up- and down-regulated genes at the 0.01 and 0.05 probability level. Wolfinger analysis indicated that there were 514 genes that were significantly up or down regulated in the T166 line compared to the non-acclimated 'M.26' trees while over 1,400 genes were significantly up or down regulated in the cold acclimated vs. the non-acclimated 'M.26 trees. There were 113 genes common to both cold acclimated and non-acclimated T166 trees. This suggests that CBF regulon consists of about 8.5% of all cold-regulated genes. Additional statistical analyses are in progress as is the grouping of differentially regulated genes into specific functional categories. This work represents the first attempt to define the CBF-regulon in fruit trees.

SAN JOSE -- San Jose State kicker Austin Lopez has been named to the Freshman All-American team by the Football Writers Association of America.
Lopez, a true freshman from Euless, Texas, was a perfect 17 for 17 on field goals this season for the Spartans, who went 11-2 and won the Military Bowl on Dec. 27. He kicked two field goals in that 29-20 defeat of Bowling Green.
Lopez set San Jose State records for points scored by a kicker with 105 and most consecutive successful field goals. He also made a school-record 54 extra point kicks on 57 attempts. He also tied a school record with four field goals in a game, achieved in a 12-0 win over Navy.
Lopez was a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award, which honors the nation's top kicker, and a second-team All-Western Athletic Conference selection. He's just the second San Jose State player to earn Freshman All-American honors from the FWAA since the organization began naming the team in 2001, joining linebacker Keith Smith's selection in 2010.

DANVILLE — Tejay van Garderen of BMC Racing Team spent a night hoping to restore his energy for one final push to secure his first Amgen Tour of California title.
America's most prestigious cycling race comes down to a big moment Saturday in a 91.4-mile stage from Livermore to Danville that ends with an 11.5-mile ascent to Mount Diablo.
Australian Michael Rogers, the only foreigner to win the weeklong California race, knows he has little chance to catching van Garderen.
"I've been around long enough to know anything can happen," the second-place Saxo-Tinkoff rider said. "Sure, we will make a go at it and see if I can pick up time but I'm realistic: Tejay is probably in the best form of his life."
Van Garderen, 24, showed just how good is he in winning the individual time trial Friday in San Jose to all but end the chance of anyone else capturing the yellow jersey. The race ends Sunday with a stage from San Francisco to Santa Rosa that is expected to have a sprint finish without a change in the overall standings.
So any last-gasp effort will come Saturday. Van Garderen, who finished fifth in the event in 2011 and fourth last year, knows what to expect. The tour leader said it will take a "100 percent commitment" from BMC teammates to protect the 1-minute 47-second lead over Rogers.
Australia's Cameron Meyer of Orica GreenEdge is third overall, 2:57 back.
"It's a day you can't do on your own," van Garderen said. "It's a day that's not only going to be hard for me but for my team."
He added that the breakaways "are going to go insane."
Rogers agreed that his and other teams will attack as much as possible to try to break van Garderen's vice grip of the lead.
Jim Miller, USA Cycling's vice president of athletes, isn't sure the route to the summit of 3,865-foot Diablo is steep enough to present a major problem for BMC.
"It's a big climb but it doesn't appear to be relatively difficult," he said. "I don't know if the climb is difficult enough to break somebody. But they can't afford to have a bad day on Mount Diablo."
After two tough days of racing van Garderen plans to be ready. He said the 19.6-mile time trial that included a demanding climb to the finish line did not leave him spent.
"It's a different kind of energy, a very intense energy where you're out of breath, but you recover from it really quick," he said of the effort. "I'm not worried about having sore legs" for Mount Diablo.

Pout, pose and click! Don't you just love cameras? Imagine a world without selfies, no profile pictures, no photography exhibitions and nothing to capture the breath-taking sunset. Basically, imagine a world without cameras. Difficult, right? It doesn't matter if you are not trained as a photographer, you can still take good pictures provided you have the right camera. And if you are a professional, then there is no better way to improve your skills other than upgrade what you already own. So, knowing a thing or two about the different types of cameras is a must. Give this article a quick read, and make a wise buying decision.
Point-and-shoot – If you are a beginner who wants to learn the nuances of photography, then this type of camera will definitely help you get more than a fair idea. Most of the models use autofocus, as it makes it easy to learn. You can adjust the settings like mode and exposure automatically, so you don't have to do much other than hold the camera steadily. Also, they are usually compact, so you can take them along while going to parties or trips, and capture all your favourite moments. However, advanced point-and-shoot ones come with better features, and are quite a rage these days.
DSLR – Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras are the ideal choice for professional photography. They are usually bulky, and come with a host of functions and features to make each and every snap look life-like. Whether you are a fashion photographer, or someone who is into animal photography, you can choose the DSLR which will be best suited for your job. You can change the lens according to the type of photography.
Mirrorless – These cameras are not that popular when it comes to their features. They usually have interchangeable lenses, and don't have the usual mirror, which makes them a lightweight and compact option when compared to DSLR cameras.
Camcorder – A combination of a video camera and a video recorder, a camcorder is great for recording. Whether you want to record Mother Nature at its best, or wish to record your child's first stage performance, just buy a camcorder that will let you record without having to do much. The new models also have the luxury of a camera, as they allow you to take pictures as well.
Sports and action – These cameras are equipped with features that would capture every detail of the game with perfection. If you are into sports, or you are a sports photographer, then having one of these at your disposal is a must.
Now you can sit back at home read the reviews of different models, know what their prices in India are, and buy cameras online from popular brands like Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Fujifilm, Olympus and Polaroid. Bring home a camera today, and capture each and every moment to reminisce them later in life.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. Linda Hefner is the new head merchant at Sam's Club, the company announced. Hefner previously served as EVP and general manager of the home business for Walmart U.S. and will assume her new role as Sam's Club's EVP merchandising and replenishment effective May 15.
She was appointed to the new role by Brian Cornell, who became president and CEO of Sam's Club earlier this month, and moved quickly to fill a position that has been vacant since last October when former head merchant Greg Spragg resigned.
"Linda has a wealth of experience and successes across key and diverse merchandise categories that will complement the team's focus on quality and value," Cornell said. "In addition, her perspective on the consumer packaged goods industry, keen marketing insights and deep understanding of consumer needs will augment the strengths of the Sam's Club senior leadership team. We are excited to have her on the team."
Areplacement for Hefner was not immediately named.
Hefner joined Walmart U.S. in May 2007 about the time the company began a major renovation of it home goods offering. Under her leadership, the home team redefined the merchandise assortment by focusing on exclusive national and private-label brands, quality, and enhanced in-store presentation that resulted in strong positive comps, according to the company.
Walmart's choice of Hefner to lead the home business initially seemed somewhat odd, as she joined the company from Kraft foods where she was EVP global strategy and business development. However, prior to Kraft she had considerable experience with Sara Lee back when the company still had its apparel division. In addition, she has a MBA degree from Harvard, which is something of a rarity among the senior executive ranks at Wal-Mart.

In what could be one of the biggest data breaches in history, the federal government and authorities in several states are investigating the criminal sale of Social Security numbers, bank account data and other personal information for up to 200 million U.S. citizens.
The investigations stem from the case of Hieu Minh Ngo, a Vietnamese man who pleaded guilty last month in New Hampshire federal court to selling the data to more than 1,300 of his customers, according to a court transcript.
The breach is the latest demonstration of the growing vulnerability of personal information in the digital age, and is particularly troubling because of the involvement of Social Security numbers.
"It's scary," said Eric Chiu, president of Mountain View security company HyTrust. "That could be information used to steal our identities or drain our bank accounts."
The court records said Ngo obtained the personal data from Ohio-based U.S. Info Search through Court Ventures, a Southern California firm bought by consumer credit-reporting giant Experian in March 2012. Court Ventures' customers typically used U.S. Info Search's data to find court records.
"Ngo contracted with Court Ventures fraudulently representing that he was a private investigator from Singapore," the records said, adding that he ran a business from his home and sold the data from websites he administered.
The information he peddled included "names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, places of work, duration of work, dates of employment, state driver's license numbers, mother's maiden names, bank account numbers, bank routing numbers, email account names and addresses and other account passwords," the court records said.
The prosecutor in Ngo's case testified that the crook's customers had "access to the U.S. Info Search database containing 200 million U.S. citizens' information," though he said the government didn't know how many people actually had data stolen.
But that assessment was disputed by Experian.
"Although we do not know the exact number of U.S. Info Search's records actually accessed at this point, we know that 200 million is false and that the actual number is much lower," the company said in a statement on its website.
Experian insisted that it had been unaware of the breach until after it bought Court Ventures. It was only then, it said, that "the U.S. Secret Service notified us that Court Ventures had been and was continuing to resell data from a U.S. Info Search database to a third party, possibly engaged in illegal activity."
Experian stressed that none of its own data was stolen. Since learning of the crime, it said, "Experian discontinued the sales of this data immediately," has cooperated with federal prosecutors in the case and "has filed suit against the former owners of Court Ventures for permitting the sale of U.S. Info Search's data to Ngo."
However, in its own statement, U.S. Info Search suggested that Court Ventures and Experian were to blame.
"Experian provided access to records via a gateway that used multiple data sources and the suspect never had access to our service," it said. "We, like many others, provide data to Experian, who in turn sold data to customers they approved and monitored."
If 200 million people were victimized, it would be among the biggest data breaches ever. In February, the firm Hold Security said it had discovered 360 million personal-account records had been stolen from several companies in attacks yet to be made public. An estimated 130 million credit card numbers were pilfered in a 2009 attack on card processor Heartland Payment Systems.
And Target has said the recent attack on its payment card information affected 40 million people in one case and 70 million in another, with at least 12 million customers affected by both breaches.
Whatever the number affected by the breach involving Experian's subsidiary, it's disturbing, said Mark Bower of Cupertino-based Voltage Security.
"Whether it's 10 million or 200 million, that's still a lot of people," he said, adding that it raises serious questions about why Ngo could have been allowed access to such information.
Given the vast number of potential victims, security expert Philip Lieberman called the breach "a declaration of war" on the U.S. and said it was appropriate for the government to be taking the matter seriously.
Reuters said the attorneys general of Connecticut and Illinois are among the state prosecutors looking into the breach. It's unclear if California is involved. Nick Pacilio, spokesman for California Attorney General Kamala Harris, said his agency doesn't comment on investigations.

3. File a complaint online with the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.
4. Monitor your credit report periodically. You can get free credit reports online at www.annualcreditreport.com.

Fire destroys Detroit medical office after shooting report
Man, woman may still be inside
A fire has destroyed a Detroit building containing a medical office where a shooting was also reported.
The Detroit Fire Department says it responded to a 911 call about the blaze Tuesday morning. Firefighters are at the scene.
Clinical psychologist Kim Logan Nolin has an office at the Park Medical Centers building. She says she was on her way to work about 9 a.m. when a worker already at the building called to her to say it was on fire and that there had been a shooting.
WDIV-TV said employees told it a man who does maintenance for the offices flashed a gun as he walked through the building looking for an ex-girlfriend.
WXYZ-TV said it had unconfirmed reports that the man made threats to the woman over the last few days before he showed up Tuesday.
WDIV reported employees said they heard shots and ran out of the building. Minutes later, it caught fire. Some of the employees said they heard an explosion before seeing the flames.
Additional details haven't been released.
There's been no immediate word of injuries. The Detroit police public information office said it had no information to release Tuesday morning.

Yarn Profile: Alchemy Yarns Kozmos
First Impressions
Kozmos blends a lustrous silk with wool and a slightly slubby single strand of cotton, and then it wraps the whole thing very loosely with brushed mohair and what appears to be more silk. I'm not quite sure what's what in here; I just know that the end result is unusual and intriguing.
It may be little surprise that this yarn comes to us from Gina Wilde at Alchemy Yarns—she's the same person who brought us Wabi-Sabi, Haiku, and Juniper. Hers are not out-of-the-box generic yarns. Each is carefully constructed over a period of months (if not years) during which she might ask the mill to rework the product dozens of times until it's just right. Even in the yarns I may not be drawn to, I always appreciate this level of commitment.
Because Alchemy Yarns is all about hand-painted fiber, the yarns are evaluated not only for their visual qualities but also for their ability to serve as a canvas for dye. And that's where Kozmos strikes into new territory. It's the first Alchemy yarn to feature cotton.
A cellulose fiber, cotton takes dye differently than protein fibers such as wool and mohair. Instead of changing her dye process to achieve a uniform color across all fibers, Gina decided not to fight the cotton and just let it do its thing. This is why some of the colors have a fairly uniform saturation, while others take on a more variegated look that makes Kozmos even more intriguing.
Knitting Up
I knit with the pointiest tips I could find, my Signature Needle Arts needles with a stiletto tip. Surprise surprise, as long as I kept my eyes on my work, the yarn behaved just fine. The minute I took my eyes off my work, the knitting grew more difficult.
Because the brushed mohair and multiple strands make this a somewhat tricky yarn to unravel, you'd be well-advised to keep your eyes on your knitting. And if you tend to get carsick, this may not be the yarn for your road-trip projects.
But the yarn's need for attention isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's gorgeous to watch. Its surface texture, sheen, and color saturations change slightly from inch to inch. One moment, you see something shining. The next, everything is concealed behind a mohair halo. Back and forth it goes.
My skein had one knot in it.
Blocking / Washing
Brushed mohair yarns are among the scariest to wash because they look horrible until the fabric dries again. Don't despair if your fabric looks like a wet cat. Be gentle, reshape it as much as possible, and let the drying process work its magic.
Once dry, a gentle tousle will open up the brushed mohair fibers and rejuvenate the halo.
My swatch did not bleed or fade in the wash, nor did its row or stitch gauge change. It dried into a smooth, attractively cohesive fabric.
Wearability is where the cotton comes in handy because cotton cools down the insulating qualities of the mohair, wool, and silk. The resulting fabric has a more even ecosystem that keeps your body temperature somewhere comfortably in the middle.
In terms of durability, that's where things get more tricky. This yarn knits up at a gauge of 4 stitches to the inch, which gives a lot of space between each stitch. You want the space, so that the mohair can stretch its legs and give you a gorgeous halo; but it will also result in a rather diaphanous project. And most diaphanous garments aren't expected to withstand the same amount of wear and tear as, say, an everyday sweater.
And yet Kozmos wears remarkably well. Even after a sustained period of friction, I saw only faint clusters of mohair that were easy to dislodge.
Each 125-yard skein of Kozmos costs $29. I'd be sorely tempted to try Ysolda Teague's Peak's Island Hood in Kozmos. You'd need four skeins, bringing the bill to $116.
Or you might be able to tighten up the gauge enough to make an extraordinarily decadent February Lady Sweater. A medium would require eight skeins, bringing the tab to...gulp...$232. But boy, it'd be one beautiful sweater.
Note from Clara: One month after this review was published, we learned that the weight/yardage on these skeins may still be in flux. The put-up of Kozmos may have changed from 125 yards/55g skeins to 119 yards/45g. The price remains the same, but each skein may contain 6 fewer yards. We're still looking into this.

SAN ANTONIO -- His skinny frame is dwarfed by the giants of the NBA. His baby face only looks younger because of its perpetual smile. And people who know him swear you'll never meet a nicer guy.
But Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has become a breakout star and led his team into the second round of the playoffs thanks to another quality: ruthlessness.
The Denver Nuggets most recently found that out the hard way as Curry dominated their first-round playoff series, and the playoff-tested San Antonio Spurs are up next starting Monday night. But it's not a new phenomenon for those who have watched Curry sneak up on others for years.
"It's funny to see people finally catch on," said his brother Seth, a collegiate star at Duke. "I think it's because he doesn't pass the eye test. Even now people are shocked that someone who looks like him is doing what he's doing. He's dominated pretty much every level he's played."
The 6-foot-3, 185-pounder has often been dismissed as too scrawny or lacking for athleticism. Despite an NBA pedigree (father Dell played 16 seasons) and prolific high school career, tiny Davidson College was the only school to woo him.
When debilitating ankle injuries thwarted his last few seasons in Oakland, many wondered whether his body was too fragile. His penchant for turnovers made others question his ability to become an elite leader of an NBA team. But Curry has learned to thrive amidst the swirl of doubt and has made it his comfort zone.
"He loves proving people wrong," said Bryant Barr, Curry's former Davidson teammate, who is the godfather of Curry's infant daughter. "He always had this chip on his shoulder. Not in terms of being arrogant, but he knew people looked at him and didn't think much. He likes changing their minds."
Off the court, Curry is every bit the normal guy he appears on the surface, posting cute pictures and videos of his daughter or fashion finds his wife scored for him at Target. Few athletes are as engaging with fans on Twitter or well-liked by their teammates. But his on-court persona is sparking fear and awe, even from NBA legends.
"He's like a Kevin Durant, but a little bit shorter of course," San Antonio's All-Star point guard Tony Parker said, comparing Curry to Oklahoma City's annual MVP contender. "It's going to be a challenge."
Curry opened many eyes by pouring in 19 points over four minutes in the third quarter of Game 4 against Denver and dominating other key stretches in the series. Was this really the same guy who didn't get a sniff from any major colleges after he starred at Charlotte Christian School, leading the Knights to three state playoffs?
Any kid growing up with hoop dreams in the Southeast aspires to play in the storied Atlantic Coast Conference, and Curry was no different. He even had an in since his father had starred at Virginia Tech. So did his mother, Sonya, as a volleyball player.
"They wanted me to walk on," Curry said, "and they wanted me to redshirt."
Curry wound up at Davidson, a small private school 30 minutes north of Charlotte. The entire country got to see what Virginia Tech and others missed out on as he dominated against college basketball's powerhouse programs in the 2008 NCAA tournament. He scored 40 against Gonzaga, 30 against Georgetown, 33 against Wisconsin and 25 in a close loss to Kansas that left Davidson one step short of the Final Four.
He led the nation in scoring the following season. Still, in the 2009 NBA draft, Curry was the fifth guard selected, falling to the Warriors at No. 7. And before he could get started, Golden State veteran guard Monta Ellis put him on the spot by saying the Warriors couldn't win with he and Curry in the backcourt together.
Once the Warriors were out of the playoff picture, then-coach Don Nelson handed the keys to his rookie and Curry took off. After the All-Star break, Curry averaged 22.2 points, 7.7 assists and 5.5 rebounds in 39 minutes, earning the nickname "Baby-faced Assassin."
He made a run at Rookie of the Year honors and was invited to play for Team USA in the World Championships, winning a gold medal in Argentina the summer of 2010.
It seemed Curry had finally arrived. But then the ankle problems began.
He sprained his left ankle in the first full practice in Madrid with Team USA. Not wanting to pass on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he didn't sit out long enough to let it heal. Months later, in an October preseason game, he sprained his right ankle. That set off a two-year battle with ankle issues that would lead to numerous sprains, two surgeries and 48 games of watching from the bench.
It also led to him being left off Team USA, missing out on a chance to play in the 2012 Summer Games in London.
"Yeah, that hurt," Curry said. "All the talk after World Championships was that we'd be the group that would try out for the actual Olympic team."
So Curry came into this season with some familiar doubts swirling again. When the Warriors signed him to a four-year, $44 million extension on Halloween, the franchise was chided for making another crazy move.
But six months later, he has quieted the critics yet again. After Curry became the NBA's all-time single-season three-point shooter, scored a career-high 54 points under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden and led the Warriors back to the playoffs for the first time in six years, his $11 million per year contract looks like a steal.
"This isn't an accident," said ESPN analyst Bruce Bowen, a former standout defender for the Spurs. "He's worked his tail off to get this good."
Veteran Warriors point guard Jarrett Jack said that's what has impressed him most about Curry -- his work ethic. He's watched Curry work back through ankle injuries and battle through smothering defenses increasingly trying to rough him up. Curry has also developed his body enough to earn an endorsement deal from a popular protein drink company.
"I see how hard he competes, how hard he works," Jack said. "That more than anything shows me he's tougher than what most people give him credit for."
The veteran Spurs will no doubt throw some physical play at Curry, but he will have to battle through it and have a monumental series for the Warriors to have a chance.
For Curry it will simply be another opportunity to change some minds.
"He has an edge, an edge that says whoever is on the other side is going to have to deal with me," coach Mark Jackson said. "That's what the elite ones have. Steph Curry, he's got it."

Computers, though, flummox him. He's especially confused by pointing devices -- I've tried to teach him about the relationship between his fingers on the track pad and the pointer on the screen, but he's too innocent of the ways of the world to understand such mysticism. So when I plop him down in front of YouTube on my MacBook while my wife and I try to enjoy a lovely dinner he always gets confused when a video ends. He reaches for the screen and repeatedly taps to get a new clip to play.
But of course, my kid is totally right. Why doesn't the MacBook screen respond to his touch? In the couple of years since my son was born, nearly every screen that we interact with has become touch-enabled. Your phone, tablet, Kindle, GPS, car radio and maybe even your fridge -- you can tap that. But not your computer. Or, more specifically, not your Mac.
Last fall Microsoft released Windows 8, which brings touch capabilities to the ubiquitous PC operating system. This year PC makers are putting out dozens of touch-enabled Windows 8 laptops and desktops. Or consider Google's new Chromebook Pixel, which has a brilliant high-definition display screen that responds to touch.
I should note that the new touch PCs don't dispense with track pads or mice; you'll spend most of your time controlling them through those traditional means. But they also allow you to touch -- if my son tapped a YouTube clip on the Pixel's screen, the video would start playing, and I'd be able to continue eating dinner in peace.
The rise of touch-enabled computers raises two questions. First, what's the point: Do you really need to be able to touch your computer's screen rather than use a track pad or mouse? And second, why is Apple -- the firm that has done more to stoke our collective touch-screen fervor than any other -- apparently holding out against touch on its computers?
To answer the first question: Yes, a touch screen on a PC can be useful. Over the past few months I've used a few touch-enabled Windows 8 PCs, and during the last week I've been playing with a Chromebook Pixel that Google sent me to review. I've found their touch screens to be handy -- the screen complements the keyboard and the track pad quite naturally, making for one more way to get your computer to do your bidding. I wouldn't go so far as to say you need a touch screen on your PC. Touching the screen doesn't allow you to do anything you couldn't do on a nontouch PC. But like other high-end laptop features -- a backlit keyboard, a slot for an SD card, a high-definition display -- a touch screen is a nice thing to have.
I found myself touching the screen during a few primary tasks. If I pulled up a long article on the Web and sat back to read, I'd sometimes reach for the screen to scroll down rather than hit the keyboard or flick at the track pad. I did the same when I was flipping through photos. Windows 8 has two completely different interfaces -- a traditional "desktop" mode in which you click on small icons to launch programs that run in multiple windows on your screen (i.e., the Windows we all know and love), and a "modern" mode in which apps occupy the full screen and feature large, touch-friendly buttons. When I used this second mode, I found myself touching more often -- to browse Amazon or Netflix, to read the news, or to play games.
You may have spotted a pattern there: I tended to touch for leisure activities, and I'd stick to the keyboard and track pad when doing work. But this wasn't by design, and I only discerned the leisure-vs.-work behavior when I thought about it later. Indeed, while using these touch laptops, the touching became intuitive and invisible. I flitted among the screen, the track pad and the keyboard from moment to moment without ever having to think about it.
I didn't expect to take to touching my PC. The conventional criticism against adding touch to laptops is that it's unnatural. When you use a laptop, your hands usually rest on the keyboard, which is relatively far from the screen; from that position it's easier to reach for the track pad than the display. The other problem is what's on the screen. On a PC -- even a Windows 8 machine with an interface specifically designed for touch -- there are lots of small controls that are better handled with a precise pointer than your fat finger. For instance, to close a tab in the Chrome browser, you've got to hit a little X next to the tab's title. I'd often miss that X when I tried to hit it with my finger. That was a bit frustrating -- although after a few times making that mistake, I learned to stop trying to close tabs with my finger, and then I didn't get annoyed anymore.
This gets to why Apple hasn't added touch to the Mac. While it's mostly handy, sometimes touching your PC's screen results in an annoying experience. Thus, to do it right, giving a MacBook a touch screen wouldn't just require a small hardware upgrade to the screen -- Apple would also have to reimagine its OS, redesigning it so that every element could be controlled as easily with your fingers as with a pointer. Microsoft solved this problem by building a touch-friendly interface that sits alongside the old Windows' point-and-click interface, but I don't think Apple would go for that -- it feels too tacked-on and inelegant.
Apple would have to do something bigger and more ambitious than that. But why should it? Considering that the Mac is an ever-smaller part of its revenues, and that Apple firmly believes that PCs will be eclipsed by tablets anyway, it has little incentive to make the Mac touch-friendly. Thus, for the foreseeable future, we're likely to be stuck with touch-less Macs.

Houston County, AL - Forrester Road has seen better days.
It's one of nine roads in Houston County that will get some much needed improvements. That's thanks to the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program, better known as ATRIP.
"This is a godsend. It's a great program. We commend Governor Bentley, and we're excited about the projects. We submitted the projects based on the need, and based on the condition of the road. The state chose the projects to award at this time," said Houston County Commission Chairman Mark Culver.
Houston County has been awarded 13 million dollars for the projects.
Major portions of Fortner Street, Saunders Road, Stateline Road and even Westgate are just a few roads that will get a facelift.
Through the ATRIP program, the state provides 80 percent of funding, leaving local governments accountable for the other 20 percent.
"They all have about the same amount of damage and graded by the state. We'll go out and look at cross drains and what needs repairing before we pave. The roads that require the least amount of work upfront by us will be the ones we do first," said Barkley Kirkland, interim Houston County engineer.
That work could begin in about three months. While it may be a traffic headache for a bit, Culver said it will be worth it.
"You just have to look beyond that 2-4 months that the work is going on and know soon you will have a new road that's a lot smoother. Most importantly to us, it will last longer," he said.
The projects will be designed to last for the next thirty years.
The county still has $15 million in projects submitted for the last round of ATRIP funding, and they plan to submit one more. The next round will be announced in August.

Our mothers fought so that their daughters would never have to know the kind of painful desperation that they had to suffer through. I tell this personal story because too often anti-choicers forget that unrestricted access to abortion actually saves lives. When women have plentiful access to safe reproductive healthcare, we don't have to fatally mutilate our bodies in moments of indescribable desperation .We can choose to end a pregnancy safely, but more importantly, we can choose to keep a pregnancy. We can take contraceptives and receive anonymous, accurate advice and have our medical needs attended to make every child a wanted child.
The Walk for Choice was in direct response to the bill awaiting Senate vote in Congress to strip funding from Planned Parenthood. I marched with Jamie, Tavi, and Morgan (though I lost her shortly after the walk began ;____;), 3 badass feminist grrls who I am honored to call my friends (yes Jamie, you're on that shortlist now!).

Works For MeMy wife did some research when my hairline started to recede, and came up with tricomin. Its been a winner for me- for 4 years its worked well both to prevent hair loss and as a conventional shampoo/conditioner. Ive tried both the separate shampoo and conditioner and this single shampoo plus conditioner, and I prefer the combined product. I also use the spray. I read the review from the fellow who had his hair fall out, and got headaches from the spray. The opposite of my experience, so ymmv.These products are also so expensive- the inventor is no doubt living on an island now- but Ill keep buying.Sep 17, 2006Ny Guy

Limp, Flaccid Hair, Accelerated Hair Loss!AWFUL. I would never recommend this to anyone.I read the customer reviews of Tricomin on several sites. Here someone said it made their hair fall out, but the rest of the reviews were favorable. So I decided to order it. I realize that not every product will work the same way for everyone. But I was unprepared for how negative my results would prove.Since someone said it made their hair feel like straw I ordered the Tricomin shampoo with the built in conditioner, even though I normally never use conditioner. I also bought the Follicle Spray as part of their Value Pack.Within five days of using these products I had clearly lost an enormous amount of hair. My balding spot went from thinning to BALD. The front and center portion thinned out noticeably. This is a significant amount of lost hair in a very short period of time.The spray caused very weird, very bad headaches that centered behind my left eye. I do not typically get headaches of any kind, ever. I would put it on in the morning and about two hours later the headache would start and last about two to three hours, varying in severity over that time. I hoped I would adjust but after one week I stopped using the spray and the headaches immediately went away.As for Tricomin shampoo with conditioner making my hair look thicker, that too was just not the case. It made soft to the touch but limp and flat.I do not suffer from male pattern baldness. I am 46 and have the receding hairline on the sides with a widows peak that is slowly turning into an island of hair. In the back of have an increasing bald spot. But I will never be that Jean Luc Picard sort of egg on top with hair on the sides. But I am much closer to that now than I was before using Tricomin.I bought these products because it was supposed to make it look like I had more hair and because they implied it would grow hair. They imply the only reason they did not go through the full testing to be able to claim regrowth was due to financial reasons.I have no idea if this stuff might grow hair eventually. But I do know it made hair fall out and had the opposite effect from making it look like I had more hair.I have used COUVRe shampoo and thickening lotion. They work GREAT. But I tried Tricomin because of the possible regrowth factor. Big mistake. I had one dose of COUVRe shampoo left in an old bottle, it instantly made my hair look much better, even if the damage was already done.May 10, 2006Ts Phillips / New York City

Man charged with kidnapping in domestic case
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 7:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 7:27 p.m.
A Hendersonville man was arrested Saturday night and charged with kidnapping after police say a domestic incident erupted inside his car on Asheville Highway.
Hendersonville police responded to a 911 call placed by a female passenger inside the vehicle shortly before 11:30 p.m. Saturday, according to authorities.
Daniel Denney, 41, of Colony Lane was charged with kidnapping, interfering with emergency communications, assault on a female and driving while impaired. He was transported to the Henderson County Detention Center, where he was still in custody Tuesday evening.
He was being held in lieu of secured bond amounts totaling $7,000. His next court date is Nov. 30.
Denney was charged in August 2011 with felony possession of cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of an open container after consuming alcohol. Those charges are pending.

10.9-3 Unlawfully Concealing a Will -- § 53a-131
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with unlawfully concealing a will. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of unlawfully concealing a will when, with intent to defraud, (he/she) conceals, secrets, suppresses, mutilates or destroys a will, codicil or other testamentary instrument.
