Jonathan Martin's lawyer alleges more verbal abuse
David Cornwell says that Incognito's verbal abuse went above and beyond what normally happens in NFL locker rooms.
Have you had enough of the Jonathan Martin-Richie Incognito saga yet? Too bad. It's not going anywhere, especially with the explosive statement released Thursday by David Cornwell, an attorney hired to represent Martin in the harassment matter.
Cornwell made an emphatic point, via Pro Football Talk, that Martin's "toughness is not an issue" and then later slammed the door with an allegation that a player said rather ... aggressive things about Martin's sister.
"Jonathan Martin's toughness is not at issue," Cornwell said. "Jonathan has started every game with the Miami Dolphins since he was drafted in 2012. At Stanford, he was the anchor for Jim Harbaugh's 'smash mouth' brand of football and he protected Andrew Luck's blind side."
Cornwell described Martin's harassment as something "far beyond" what normally happens in NFL locker rooms.
"Jonathan endured harassment that went far beyond the traditional locker room hazing," Cornwell said. "For the entire season-and-a-half that he was with the Dolphins, he attempted to befriend the same teammates who subjected him to the abuse with the hope that doing so would end the harassment. This is a textbook reaction of victims of bullying. Despite these efforts, the taunting continued. Beyond the well-publicized voice mail with its racial epithet, Jonathan endured a malicious physical attack on him by a teammate, and daily vulgar comments such as the quote at the bottom. These facts are not in dispute."
That quote? It is a doozy, coming from an unnamed teammate, and it involves some highly inappropriate things directed towards Martin's sister.
"We are going to run train on your sister. ... She loves me. I am going to f*** her without a condom and c** in her c***."
Say whatever you want about things that happen in locker rooms, or even between friends. Saying something like that is incredibly inappropriate and completely unacceptable.
Cornwell's clearly not afraid to stir things up and he's done just that with his Thursday statement about Martin's situation.

We've seen Jordan retros release on cycles ranging from several years to never, and never before has one of the hybrid designs spun from multiple Js ever returned with a second drop. That looks to change with the 'Bred' Jordan Six Rings returning later this year, a mere five years after it debuted with a 'Playoff' Jordan XI-inspired patent leather look. Have a closer look at these below, let us know if this is your favorite 6 Rings colorway and which are most deserving of the respect conveyed by a proper retro treatment.

I'd rather see da dub-zero come back...those were more epic
They retroed these before the Spizikes??? Retro some Spizikes! Lets see the OG spizikes, or the Cement, or the King County Spizikes!
I always liked the 6 Rings, but that achilles support was mad uncomfortable... For me, anyways.
When are they releasing?
never liked the 6 rings...
One of the best hybrids not no Son of Mars bullshit
6 Rings and Spizikes are classics! love em both.
Necer really liked the six rings design
Would cop these for sure.
Why they bringin these back... How bout a space jam 6 ring
The 6 Rings is actually one of my favorite basketball shoes to play in. It's cool to see them bringing this back. Hopefully they'll keep it going with some of the other really sharp colorways
I've been waiting on the dub zeros for years, my last pair got stolen when I was little so that would be a personal cop
@EVERYTHING_EPIC I thought I was the only one waiting for those to drop again
@SquareBiz90 that would be really cool
why not would be the better question
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite that would be sick!
@BThomas1 because there is no need to put out more and more shoes and retro kicks that arent even in demand. No need to retro six rings

The 76ers are showing interest in signing free agent guard Chris Duhon, Yahoo Sports reported.
According to the report, the New York Knicks are also interested in the guard who played two seasons with them from 2008 to 2010, where he set a team single-game record for assists with 22.
The former McDonald's all-American and Duke guard was selected by the Chicago Bulls in the second round of the 2004 NBA draft and spent four seasons with the team.
Duhon, 30, was part of the four-team blockbuster trade in August 2012 that brought Andrew Bynum to the Sixers. As part of that deal, Orlando sent Duhon, Earl Clark, and Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers.

If you're using Google Analytics to track Confluence usage – and if not, why not, David Simpson has an excellent guide on tracking Confluence usage with Google Analytics – you may have noticed that Google Analytics doesn't track attachment downloads. This is because downloads such as PDFs, Word Docs, Powerpoint Presentations, etc. are not web pages and therefore do not include the Google Analytics tracking code. Fortunately there is a solution based on this support document from Google:
1. Login to Confluence as a Confluence Administrator
2. Select Browse -> Confluence Admin
3. Select Look and Feel -> Custom HTML and enter the following JS snippet in the "At end of HEAD" section in addition to your Google Analytics tracking code:
<script> AJS.toInit(function() { AJS.$("a[href*='/download/attachments/']").click(function() { _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', AJS.$(this).attr('href')]) }); }); </script>
4. Click Save
After 24-48 hours you should then see your attachments being tracked in Google Analytics under Content -> Site Content -> Pages:

89+8=97 not 95 for Dallas. Dallas has the easiest schedule possible and should win all 4 of their games to get to 97 points. That way Chicago would be behind Dallas if Chicago went 2-2 their last 4 games. Then Anaheim would have to get 3 points in their last 3 games and as long as none of the 4-6 seeds completely choke, then Chicago would be out.
Since Calgary can only get to 95, Chicago has to effectively lose at least 3 of their last four games in regulation in order to miss the playoffs, while Calgary has to win out. Anaheim has to essentially have a meltdown to miss the playoffs as well. Dallas on the other hand can still gain 8 points to add to their current total of 89 to hit 95. If three of those are ROW's and Chicago hits 95, Dallas makes it while Chicago doesn't.
tl;dr version:
If Chicago gets 96 points or better, they're in. The way I see it though, if they lose to Montreal tomorrow and St. Louis, we could put a dent in their playoff hopes with at least one win in regulation. If Dallas loses more than one game in regulation, they're out, and Calgary plain needs to win out to have any shot in hell.

Residents in several sections of Covington have had to deal with water outages this week, due to a series of pipe breaks. Mayor Mike Cooper said the outages and subsequent repairs showed the need for a better method of communicating vital news to city residents.
As of Thursday evening, service had been restored to all customers, said Pam Keller, an assistant to Cooper.
The problems began Tuesday when a contractor replacing a drainage culvert at Eighth and Jefferson avenues broke a 6-inch water line, prompting an outage while repairs were made. Several hours later, at 3 a.m. Wednesday, a 10-inch line at 12th Avenue and Taylor Street began leaking. And on Thursday, there was another rupture at the site of the repairs to the line at Eighth and Jefferson, the city said.
Cooper said his administration is considering several options for relaying news to residents.
"We apologize for any inconvenience this unusual rash of outages may have caused,'' he said in a news release Thursday. "One of the most recurrent comments received during this situation pertained to a need for more efficient communication methods. Efforts have already begun to organize a communications network that will tremendously increase the city's effectiveness of relaying time sensitive information to the public.''
Cooper said the city's new website will be launched in the next few months and will include scrolling emergency alerts.
He said he and his staff are also considering utilizing Facebook, cell phone alerts and email to spread news.
"The public can expect to have an option presented to them for receipt of City of Covington alerts in the near future," Cooper said.
It could not be determined Thursday how many customers the outages affected.

Made in Chelsea's Ollie Locke: 'I've tried to push myself to be gay but I'm actually bisexual'
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
The whole country? Wow! I'd be surprised if most people didn't even know or actually cared who he is.
Weird! You don't have to "push yourself to be gay", you either are or aren't. When propositioned you either say yes or no. But putting out a press release or whatever about your torment seems milking the cow a bit.
I agree but there are a lot of bisexual men who try to force themselves to be gay because they want to fit in.
I would suggest there are actually far more bisexual men who try to force themselves to be non-gay to fit in.
Both of you guys do have a point, as a bisexual guy I have definitely felt pressurized to identify as one or the other. It certainly would be "easier" to pretend to be straight, but you can't help who you fall in love with (I have a husband ^_^).
There is this idea that just because you're attracted to both sexes you're somehow "transitional" like "bi now gay later."
Gay people think you're in denial and straight people just think you're gay. BOTH tend to be distrustful of your intentions, gay guys think you'll run off with a woman, women think they don't satisfy you.
I'm lucky enough to have an understanding husband and have been in a monogamous relationship for almost 10 years. But sometimes I wish I wasn't bisexual, just straight or gay.
I don't know the guy, I've never watched the show and never will, but good on him. We need more publicly out bisexual men – we are few and far between, Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day is one of the most well known and even then it's not everyday knowledge – in the media spotlight, even Z-listers.
I understand and sympathise with his comment about trying to be gay – I did exactly the same. I came out at college and was immediately met with negative reactions, not what I expected at all. But we all know how fast news travel. Within a day, everyone knew I slept with men, there was no going back from that revelation. So I embraced it, identifying as gay for nearly a decade just to appease others. It took a long time for me to accept my natural sexuality. And stories like that are far, far too common.
bleugh… get over yourself
I think if we were to do the maths he would be about 90% attracted to men and 10% to girls, still bisexual but you know, I'm willing to be my life he ends up with a boy.
Who cares? Some z lister?
I have no idea who he is as I dont watch crap tv….and he doesnt make me want to watch it either…someone who thinks too much of himself I think
Isn't 'bisexuality' simply the unfortunate consequence of a homophobic society? If there was no 'conditioning' to conform to a heterocentric world, wouldn't people be either gay or not gay?
(That should start a few comments on here ,,,, ;) )
Doubtful, I was born bisexual. I always have been bisexual and always will be. I spent almost a decade identifying as gay to appease others – to paraphrase "ugh, you can't like both, you have to be one or the other". I even had a bisexual woman tell me that bisexuality was only okay in women and was sick and wrong in guys.
It's not about "conforming", its about nature. I see a good looking rock/goth girl and I'm attracted. I see a good looking mother guy and I'm attracted. It's the way I'm wired. Deal with it. You know, we've come to accept that in a lot of cases of homophobia it's projection of ones own negative feelings – I often wonder the same about those vehemently opposed to bisexuality.
*mosher guy. Bloody iPad auto spell :(
In truth, I don't care because I only feel a sexual attraction towards manly guys.
Anyway, it's very much important that bisexual men admit their sexual orientation; unfortunately, the most of them live their homosexual side secretly and pretend to be totally heterosexual. I only demand them that they are honest, consistent and respectful; and they do not lie and use gay guys as objects. Therefore, If they are in a relationship with a woman, that they do not seek gay dudes for using them.
Personally, I need to be very sure (about his feelings and determination) for establish a relationship with a bisexual man, I would not like that I get involved with this type of man, and when he experiments a personal crisis or decides to take an easier way in life, then he leaves me. Obviously, about this type of man (repressed bisexual guys) who is in a relationship with a woman, or who says that is not capable to love a man, I always run away from them.
Who is this person ?, why is he news ?
What a load of bolz Ollie! PUSH yourself to be gay? Give fans credit when due honey…

Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
FOH Field Operations Handbook
Chapter 64 Employment of Workers with Disabilities at Special Wages under Section 14(c)
Section 64a General
Section 64a02: Impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act on Section 14(c)
- The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which took effect July 26, 1992, prohibits employers from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions and privileges of employment. The Solicitor's Office has reviewed the ADA and its legislative history and has concluded that the ADA does not nullify the provisions of section 14(c). The ADA affords protection to individuals who, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the job. An employer is not required to lower quality or production standards to make an accommodation.
- In order to determine the commensurate wage of a worker with a disability for purposes of section 14(c), the employer must, among other things, determine the productivity of a worker who does not have a disability for the work to be performed by conducting appropriate work measurements or time studies. The production standard, along with the prevailing wage, becomes the basis for paying commensurate wage rates. Thus the standard for compensation, if not the amount of compensation itself, is the same for the worker who has a disability as for the worker who does not have a disability.
- The Solicitor's Office (SOL) has advised us that the existence of a certificate under section 14(c) would not protect an employer from charges pursuant to the ADA. Section 14(c) requires commensurate wage rates but does not address the issues of discrimination or reasonable accommodation. Thus, it would be possible for an employer to be in compliance with the provisions of section 14(c) but be in violation of certain provisions of the ADA. Questions regarding possible action under the ADA should be addressed to the appropriate office of the EEOC.

My recommendation - get going. I wish I were in the position to buy! Find yourself a good Tuta and let them help you....Good Luck!
Jeannie Feenick
Search and connect at http://www.feenick.com
If looking to stay in the home more than 5 years definately good time to buy.
Good luck!
That's the million dollar question. Unfortunately we cannot peg a bottom of a market. I am seeing buyers get incredible deals right now. Once the supply of homes starts to be eaten up, the leverage a buyer has will start to diminish. Real estate is a long term investment and if you purchase now you have to be prepared to own the home for 5+ years to see a good return on your investment. The days of making a huge profit after 1 year of ownership is over. With prices being down AND interest rates being down, it is a win win situation for a buyer.
I am very familiar with the Bayonne market. If you have any questions about purchasing there, please let me know. I'll be happy to assist.
All the best in your home search,

ShopSmart Poll: 38 Percent of Couples Spend More When Together
Male Versus Female Shopping Styles and What Happens When Couples Shop Together
YONKERS, NY – According to a new poll featured in the September 2008 issue of ShopSmart, from the publisher of Consumer Reports, 38 percent of couples spend more money when shopping together and the majority make joint purchasing decisions. When couples do not make decisions together, however, women are the ones in charge more often than the men.
The poll also found that more than 74 percent of men and women say they shop together so they can spend time together. Yet these shopping excursions are not always pleasant as more than one in four couples (26%) has had an argument in public while shopping together.
Conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center, the men versus women shopping poll is part of ShopSmart's feature on sex and spending, which includes a guide to male shopping personalities, dos & don'ts for shopping together and a relationship-and-money Q&A.
"Shopping alone might be less of a headache but, if you want to bring along your partner, a little strategizing can make all the difference," said Lisa Lee Freeman, editor-in-chief of ShopSmart. "Our guide will help you decipher your guy's shopping personality for a more productive and pleasurable shopping experience."

- Nearly 80 percent of men and women do at least some of their shopping without their significant other.

The Shopping Roles of Men & Women

Isn't It Romantic? But…
- 75 percent of men and women say they've held hands while shopping, and 46 percent have had other displays of affection.
- Arguments are typically equally won by men and women but 22 percent of men who shop with their significant other believe she wins more arguments about what to buy or how much to spend.
- 25 percent of men and women say they've been embarrassed by their partner in a store.
- 32 percent of couples have lost their significant other while shopping with 12 percent who have resorted to paging them over a loudspeaker. 6 percent of men and women admit to abandoning their significant other at a store.
What's His Type?
ShopSmart shares their guide to figuring out his shopping personality and what to do to keep the peace when spending time and money together.
- Mr. Grab-and-Go shops like he's running into a blazing fire. What to do? Let him know what he's in for before you leave for the store.
- The Waiter and Whiner lets you know at every chance he gets that this shopping trip wasn't his idea. What to do? Send him to the food court when he gets antsy.
- The Gearhead gasps with pleasure at the faintly rubbery smell of new electronics. What to do? Amuse yourself by checking out the CD selection, or wait for him in a coffee shop or clothing store.
- Mr. Money-Is-No-Object is unlikely to look at the price before buying and is highly susceptible to sales pitches for upgrades. What to do? Agree to consult with each other for any purchase over a set amount.
- The Lone Wolf (the same man who will drive 25 miles out of the way before admitting he's lost) is loath to ask for help in a store. What to do? Track down a salesperson or use an online product locator like Slifter.com.

Concordia LEED Platinum Portland Home
Zac Blodget, designer and owner of Portland's first LEED Platinum home, sent me an email recently. His smartly designed home lacks the fuss usually associated with LEED Platinum palaces – no pun intended, but it's down-to-earth – and Blodget has the green house listed for sale at $340,000. Located two blocks from Concordia University, the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1680 square-foot residence sits on a tight footprint on a corner lot. I've explained a number of its green elements below, but we also have a one-question poll at the end of the article (scroll down).

The African Growth and Opportunity Act: Growth Without Opportunity?
When President Obama spoke to African leaders gathered in Ethiopia last year, he painted a new vision for U.S. engagement in Africa. "Now we have an opportunity to unleash the next era of African growth together. As we work to renew AGOA in 2015 and continue integrating Africa into the global economy, we also want to make sure that the benefits of Africa's growth reach all parts of the society."
The African Growth and Opportunity Act, or AGOA — the U.S. trade preference program granting special duty-free access for 38 African nations — has helped fuel high levels of growth on the continent. But this economic growth has not translated into broad-based economic opportunity for a majority of African people. As the administration seeks renewal for AGOA in 2015, the trade accord must be updated to ensure that growth is creating high-quality employment.

How Much Does Jessica Alba Weight?
118lbs or 53.5kg
How Tall Is Jessica Alba?
5'5″ or 165cm
What Are Jessica Alba Measurements?
What Is Jessica Alba's Bra Size?
More Jessica Alba Weight Information
Jessica Alba is a woman that many American women aspire to be. She's beautiful, talented and she leads a glamorous life. Jessica Alba's weight is the envy of most women, and her secrets to her amazing body are always something that people want to know.
To keep her body long and lean, Jessica Alba is said to follow a diet similar to the South Beach Diet. Its low in carbohydrates and fat. She also practices portion control and does not eat breads and desserts which are rich in carbohydrates. Like everyone though, the glorious Alba gets cravings now and then. She has admitted to indulging in a slice of cake every now and again.
To help make her body into a fat fighting machine and to keep her energy up for workouts, Alba follows a few rules. Lean meats are important. She eats a lot of lean cuts of meat, such as boneless skinless chicken breasts and fish. Fat is kept low. To cut fat, she does not eat egg yolks, eats sushi and many vitamin packed fruits and vegetables. She also does not finish her plate. If she has a craving, and goes out to eat she only eats half of her entrée, and it allows her to satisfy her cravings without consuming as many calories and fat as she would have.
Alba also had a diet plan to shed the weight she gained during pregnancy. Her plan was simple. She reportedly faithfully stuck to the 321 Baby Bulge Be Gone program. It is an after labor program designed by personal trainer Ramona Braganza. Alba dropped 25 pounds in two months from the regimen. If you are expecting an extreme diet, you won't find it. The plan started out with complex carbohydrates and lean proteins, such as oatmeal and egg whites. Lunches and dinners were a serving of lean proteins paired with a complex carbohydrate and to stay full between meals, Alba opted for healthy snacks such as fruit and nuts.
When she was pregnant, Jessica Alba went on an even more specialized diet to help keep weight gain low during pregnancy. She reportedly eliminated white foods, such as those made with white flour or white sugar to help her stay trim before labor. Some people believe that white flour and white sugar help contribute to weight gain.
Alba workouts include hour long core workouts with cardio and small strength training routines. It helps her stay lean, rather than gaining bulky muscle. She pairs Yoga with easy strength training and incorporates lunches, a type of compound exercise that targets the lower body. Her cardio workouts may be why she has managed to stay slim and toned rather than lean and ripped.

Box office gold and coal for Oscar contenders
It's unclear if the "great settling" is truly in effect, but the holiday box office may have actually had a significant impact on this year's best picture race. Here's a rundown of the major contenders still in release and how ticket sales have helped our hurt their cause.
"Slumdog Millionaire"
Latest: $5.8 million, $9,600 per screen
Total: $19.7 million
Lowdown: Biggest indie of the year is well on its way to becoming the serious favorite for Oscar gold. The question is: who is its competition? After this weekend that's looking more and more like…
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"
Latest: $39 million, $13,052 per screen
Total: $39 million
Lowdown: Brad Grey you can open your eyes now. It's a hit! Paramount's Fincher gamble paid off nicely (though let's keep those media and marketing budgets as far away from investors eyes as possible). With this sort of enthusiasm it's hard to imagine "Button" getting shut out of the final five. More likely, it's cementing itself as the true challenger to little "Slumdog's" throne.
Latest: $1.5 million, $7,179 per screen
Total: $3.7 million
Lowdown: Don't panic! Don't stress! Just tell yourself it's this year's "Letters from Iwo Jima" and your audience found you on screeners and at guild screenings. Yep, Oscar nominee morning can't come quick enough for the peeps at Universal.
Latest: $7 million, $5,524 per screen
Total: $8.9 million
Lowdown: Damn you Rudin and Cynthia Schwartz! You fool us again! Middling reviews, but SAG and Golden Globe love, plus a movie that audiences are actually entertained by has lead to an excellent expansion and a growing possibility of being included in the big dance.
"Revolutionary Road"
Latest: $192,000, $64,000 per screen
Total: $192,000
Lowdown: So, here's the plan: let big studio brother "Button" take most of the attention (and theaters) over the holidays, but give yourself an impressive per screen average to grow on and tout until ballots are due. Risky and calculated, but it could work. Maybe.
"Gran Torino"
Latest: $2.4 million, $29,048 per screen
Total: $4.3 million
Lowdown: Well, besides the fact that Variety continues to be overly enthusiastic about its box office (geez guys, I thought the Clint Cult meeting wasn't until Wednesday?), Eastwood's "win me a best actor Oscar" campaign continues. How far it goes? Nobody knows.
Latest: $1.8 million (weekend only), $5,833
Total: $13.6 million
Lowdown: Ouch, was that a wall I ran into? Lots of ten best list love, but word is the love isn't outside the big cities. Does that really affect the Academy? Probably not, but a bigger theatrical take would help. Personally, this prognosticator isn't convinced it's in, but it's still a safe bet for most.
"The Reader"
Latest: $617, 319, $5,787 per screen
Total: $1.3 million
Lowdown: Deader than Winslet's character in the movie (whoops, spoiler!) and with it, her chances of winning best supporting actress, for the best performance of her career mind you, seem to be slipping away. Plus, it's actually playing at the Laemmle Sunset 5 on the Hollywood side of town instead of the "take me seriously" Arcwhite, I mean Arclight Cinemas. At this point, only a SAG or Golden Globes miracle can save her now.
The two wildcards remaining are, of course, "The Dark Knight" and "WALL-E." I'm on record saying "Knight" is in and Pixar's latest "classic" isn't. Both have been fixtures on year-end top ten lists so while they are no longer playing in theaters, they are hardly out of mind.
Oh, and yes, "The Wrestler" did a fantastic $381,068 with a per screen of $21,700 for a new total of $900,601, but besides nods for Rourke, Tomei and Aronosfsky (probably just screenplay), it's not a real best picture player. And that's sad to say as a true fan.
Sigh, when does that PGA nods come out again?

Greeley police are seeking the driver of a vehicle that struck a bicyclist before fleeing.
The vehicle, believed to be a Dodge pickup or SUV, struck Stace Agens, 40, while he was riding eastbound in the 6000 block of 4th Street about 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 19, according to a Greeley police news release. Agens, of Greeley, suffered serious injuries and has since been released from the hospital, said Sgt. Susan West, Greeley police spokeswoman.

Almonds in Merced County began blooming mid-February, with Nonpareil and pollinators such as Aldrich, Carmel and Monterey starting things off. By the end of the month Butte and Padre were also flowering.
The bloom started close to the normal, and that surprised many growers, says David Doll, University of California Cooperative Extension Farm Advisor for the county. Because of dry, warmer weather late January and early February, many were looking for an earlier bloom.
"Last year, when we had a lot more rain and cooler temperatures, the bloom started the last week of February and the first week of March, which was later than normal," Doll says. "The beginning of bloom this year is more in the middle of the usual timing and similar to 2010, when bloom started around Feb. 22."
By March 1, almond orchards in the country had received only about 40 percent of the normal rainfall for the season.
In January, Doll augered down three feet into sandy soil before hitting moisture — that's equivalent to a depth of about a foot to reach wet soil in heavier ground, he notes. To help make up for the shortage, some growers began irrigating their orchards in December. Most had begun by mid-January.
Still, availability of adequate water supplies for the new crop hasn't been a concern to this point. "We had a good wet year last year, and most reservoirs are close to full," Doll says."But, irrigation districts will probably hedge their bets and save some water for another dry year."
Growers began their fungicide bloom sprays in late February, targeting brown rot, shot hole, jacket rot and anthracnose. Due to the dry weather, growers may need to make only one or two applications, depending on their comfort level, he says.
A continuation of this weather pattern, however, could favor growth of insects. Early season insect concerns include spider mites, navel orangeworm and peach twig borer.
"A dry bloom has less disease pressure and more bee flight hours, which are usually indicators for a good crop year," Doll says.

Three-year-old John Kendall Hauth was in his room at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, about to go for lunch at McDonald's in the lobby, when his eyes suddenly rolled to one side and he began making a strange, high-pitched sound.
His mother tore into the hallway, screaming for help.
Rodney Finalle, a senior resident who just minutes before had examined Kendall, ran to the boy's bed and placed his stethoscope on his chest.
He heard nothing. Not a heartbeat. Not the sounds of breathing.

Bucs Considering Making Freeman Inactive Sunday
One night after his unauthorized interview with ESPN in which he said he wants to be traded, Josh Freeman may be demoted again by the Buccaneers.

If you could speed up the faulting and shifting of giant slabs of rock that created the Rocky Mountain Front, what would it sound like? In Sun River Canyon, you can hear a jarring crash, not of rock but of horns colliding. Each November, bighorn sheep rams from one of the largest herds in the country (800 to 1,000 animals) gather within Sun River Canyon to test their mating prowess. Again and again, two males with massive curled horns hurl themselves at each other. Rams may clash this way for 40 times or more if evenly matched. The winner earns the right to lead the herd and mate with the ewes.For most of the year, Bighorns lead a more placid life munching grass in the canyon bottoms in the winter and crisscrossing distant cliffs in the summer. Sun River Canyon in summer resounds with other sounds - the slap of a beaver tail on water, warbles of songbirds among stream side cottonwoods and the drumming of woodpeckers.This area along the Rocky Mountain Front is the heart of the chinook belt, providing some of the earliest wildflower displays (April) east of the Rockies.Look for a bighorn sheep viewing area with an accompanying interpretive sign. Sun River Canyon offers hiking, picnicking and camping. On the way to the canyon, you will pass the Sun River Wildlife Management Area. Stop at a signed pullout and scan for elk and deer herds in winter.
Sun River Canyon is located along the Rocky Mountain Front southwest of Choteau. Taking Highway 287 south from Choteau to Augusta take gravel road (108) towards Gibson Reservoir. Camping available ( tent & trailer) at Mortimer Gulch and Home Gulch.

Not even a year after they swept elections across the country and wrested control of the House of Representatives from the Democrats, Republicans seem to have hit a speed bump - which they fear, and Democrats hope, could be a sign of things to come in 2012 - in western New York.
Underdog Democrat Kathy Hochul was handed a stunning victory yesterday, when 47 percent of voters in New York's 26th Congressional District backed her for the House seat vacated by Republican Rep. Chris Lee after a sex scandal. She beat out Republican Jane Corwin, who took 43 percent of the vote, as well as tea party candidate Jack Davis, who took 9 percent.
"The voters ... gave voice tonight to the growing national consensus that Republican leadership has failed," Jay Jacobs, chair of the New York State Democratic Party, said yesterday after the votes were counted. "Kathy Hochul's come-from-behind victory is a testament to her hard work, perseverance and commitment to the values and principles that have defined Western New York."
Corwin was expected to win, but the Republican plans to radically change Medicare became a big issue, and the race tightened. Big name GOP stars came to campaign for Corwin, including Speaker of the House John Boehner.
Voters, Working Families Party Executive Director Dan Cantor said in an email to supporters, "were not willing to buy the Ryan-Boehner-Pawlenty-Romney-Whoever view that we don't actually have any obligations to one another, that we are just islands unto ourselves. Medicare is a promise, from one generation to the next, that all Americans deserve to be treated with dignity."
In New York's fusion voting system, candidates can run on the line of more than one party. The Working Families Party gave their line to Hochul, while Corwin ran on the lines of both the Republican and Conservative Parties.
The Republican candidate spent millions of dollars on her campaign. Corwin spent more than $2 million of her own money, and other Republican groups contributed as well. Karl Rove directed about $1 million to her campaign.
On the Democratic side, the Working Families Party put its powerful electoral machinery into gear for Hochul, as did MoveOn and a host of labor unions.
The Republican tried to run from her party's positions on Medicare. The non-partisan factcheck.org criticized Corwin, accusing her of running ads falsely suggesting that Hochul favored cuts to Medicare and Social Security. In response, Buffalo's NBC affiliate, WGRZ television, said, "Corwin, at this point, is criticizing something that she supports."
In addition, groups friendly to Corwin, including the Chamber of Commerce, ran what Democrats deemed "smear ads" against Hochul. One commercial by the Chamber particularly offended The Tonawanda News.
"The advertisement [the Chamber of Commerce] produced is a blatant attempt to legitimize [Corwin's] flagging campaign by implying that her policy positions are endorsed by this newspaper, when in reality they are not," read an editorial in the News.
The district, located between Buffalo and Rochester, is composed of suburbs, small cities and rural areas. Republicans far outnumber registered Democrats, and, except for a 10-year-break starting in 1993, the area has been represented by Republicans since 1953. Further, the district was remapped in 2002, skewing the demographics further right. Hochul's victory is the first for a Democrat since the redistricting.
Yesterday's election, said DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in a statement, "has far-reaching consequences beyond New York. It demonstrates that Republicans and independent voters, along with Democrats, will reject extreme policies like ending Medicare that even Newt Gingrich called radical."

The climax of Michael McDonald's career may very well take place during the UFC on Fuel TV 7 broadcast.
It's actually hard to argue for or against. At the age of 22, McDonald is aiming to become the youngest UFC champion in UFC history. But even if he fails, his youth suggests that he'll have another title shot waiting down the road.
But there's no sure thing in MMA. His opponent, Renan Barao, defends his interim title as a -325 favorite against McDonald, and he's won 29 of his last 30 fights. The climb to become the youngest champion is steep.
So going into the biggest fight of his young career, here are five questions fans may have for the challenger.

LONDON (AP) – Arsenal midfielders Jack Wilshere and Emmanuel Frimpong and defender Bacary Sagna will play against a Chelsea team in a friendly organized to help several players return from injury.
The match will take place Wednesday night at Arsenal's Colney training ground without spectators in attendance.
Wilshere was sidelined for the whole of last season with ankle, foot and heel injuries, forcing him to miss the 2012 European Championship with England.
The 20-year-old Wilshere is being lined up to return to Arsenal's first team for the League Cup match at Reading on Oct. 30.
Wilshere will have some healthy competition when he returns. Abou Diaby's form has improved from last year and Mikel Arteta is also a midfield rival. Arteta and Wilshere have yet to play together for Arsenal.

The North Bergen commissioners' meeting ended prematurely this morning when Mayor Nicholas Sacco decided he had had enough of audience members cheering on speakers who were taking his administration to task for recent scandals.
On Sept. 11, the township's former Department of Public Works superintendent, James Wiley, confessed in court to having employees do work at his house and deploying DPW crews to work on various political campaigns.
The Star-Ledger then broke the news that there were at least three "low- or no-show jobs" in the department.
Although Sacco and DPW Commissioner Frank Gargiulo pledged a reorganization, Gargiulo defended employees cited in the Ledger story, saying some were meant to have a low profile since they his "eyes and ears" in the department.
During the public comment section of this morning's meeting -- which is always the last item of business on the commissioners' meeting agenda -- speaker after speaker criticized Sacco and Gargiulo. And as they spoke, the were loudly applauded by people in the audience.
Sacco warned the crowd that if kept clapping and interrupting the commissioners' responses, he would end the proceedings.
And he did, abruptly cutting off the fifth speaker in mid-sentence.
"I warned them," the mayor said, citing "public decorum" as the reason for bringing the meeting to an early end.
Asked after the meeting why he stopped the meeting, Sacco, who is also a state senator, said again that he had a problem with the "public decorum."
Phil Swibinski, a spokesman for the township, added about the meeting's strange ending, "Everyone had pretty much spoken already ... We can't allow political opponents to violate our standards like that."

Aug 15, 2005 | There is little debate that stem cells represent a new frontier in biomedical research. But even if stem cells have the potential to advance medical science and produce new therapies, progress is often hindered by questions of ethics, legislation, and funding. The United Kingdom, however, has managed to cut through the noise, creating a regulatory framework that fosters an environment of international collaboration and excellent R&D programs. And they try to do it all in an ethical way.
Category: Knowledge Management and CollaborationTitle: Best Practices in Stem CellInnovation in the UK: A Global ModelOrganization: UK Trade & Investment
The crown jewel of the regulatory framework is the public stem cell bank, established in May 2004 to the tune of $4.7 million. The first of its kind, the bank is a repository for scientists to deposit adult, embryonic, and fetal stem cell lines. The facility, located at the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control in Potters Bar, England, currently houses more than 20 cell lines.
This number would increase significantly when the Harvard Stem Cell Institute banks all of its cell lines, created by co-founder Doug Melton and colleagues, as it is now doing. This prospective collaboration underscores the prospective role of the UK Stem Cell Bank as a resource for scientists across the globe and could put the United Kingdom at the center of stem cell innovation.
Before stem cells can be banked, the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA) must approve the cell lines. To receive an endorsement, scientists must submit an application prior to creating the stem cell line, explaining the methods to be used and the reasons for conducting the research. A panel that represents "a cross section of society" reviews each application and assesses the scientific, ethical, and social challenges the project presents, Winkler says.
The stem cell bank not only ensures that scientists have high-quality starting materials for their research but also may ease some of the tensions surrounding embryonic stem cells. By having a centralized source of stem cells, individual research teams do not need to develop their own cell lines, reducing the number of embryos destroyed.
The U.K. government began dedicating resources to create a progressive policy nearly a decade ahead of the rest of the world. HFEA was established in the early 1990s to monitor all embryo research and has evolved to meet scientists' demands. The policies were updated in 2001 to allow therapeutic cloning research, so long as scientists applied for the appropriate license. "Sure, it's bureaucratic," Winkler says, "but you know exactly what you're dealing with."
Growing CompaniesThe U.K. government is currently funding a $70-million multidisciplinary research program to capitalize on British scientists' technical and conceptual advances. The goal is to create an environment where innovation and new technologies are supported, knowledge transfer occurs, and barriers to investment in R&D are lowered. In addition, the U.K. government has pledged to increase its science and technology budget by $1.86 billion over the next decade. This is part of a plan to increase public and private spending on R&D in the United Kingdom to 2.5 percent of the GDP.
The United Kingdom has begun to see a return on its investment. At Queen Victoria Hospital, stem cells are being used to redevelop corneas. The work has already restored the eyesight of 40 patients. Among the research organizations supported by the U.K. government are the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh (the birthplace of Dolly the sheep), which now focuses on human embryonic stem cells; the Center for Stem Cell Biology at the University of Sheffield; the Institute for Stem Cell Research at the University of Edinburgh; and the Center for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine at Cambridge University.
Several companies have also sprung from the investment in basic research. CereStem Ltd. commercializes the findings of Stephen Minger, a researcher at King's College London, and ReInnervate is a University of Durham spin-off that has established intellectual property related to neural stem cells.
"By setting the gold standard in stem cell policy, the U.K. government has set the stage for technological stem cell innovation around the world and is fostering an environment where the future of global biomedicine can thrive," says Winkler.

Are you looking for solitude, open vistas and midnight sunshine? JackKnife Mountain is the perfect place to find all of those things. Kodiak Brown Bears and Salmon swarm its slopes, while eagles soar to the brown clad heights. On can view the magnificent Wood River Range from it's ridgeline and summit, as well as the pristine waters of Lake Aleknagik, amidst a host of equally stunning lakes.
JackKnife is a prominent peak rising above Lake Aleknagik in the heart of Southwest Alaska. Its pinnacled summit projects steeply like a JackKnife into the Alaskan sky, while the ridgeline seems to fold back on itself. It is located at the southeast edge of the Wood River Mountains. Kodiak Brown Bears hunt Salmon beneath JackKnife's rugged slopes. Golden Eagles inhabit it's heights. About 30 miles from the town of Dillingham, Alaska, JackKnife can easily be seen from Dillingham with it's jagged ridge poking into the air. Although only just over 2300 feet in elevation, JackKnife Mountain has 1901 feet of prominence.
The Wood River Mountains are steep, brushy and have lots of loose rock. They are located in the Wood-TikChik State Park, a massive pantheon of peaks, glaciers and wilderness lakes. This makes JackKnife a part of the largest state park in the United States, as well as one of the most remote mountains in the state park system.
There are, however, only a few glaciers in the Wood River Range, so JackKnife Mountain is shaped by the harsh winds and bitter cold rain and snow storms that come of off Bristol Bay and the Bering Sea. The summit of JackKnife can be reached via a two mile trail located near a private summer camp (Camp Polaris).
The trail is open for anyone to use any time of the year. Please show respect for the cabins and other buildings located at the small camp at the base of JackKnife. The trail itself is in good shape, but only in July and August is the trail cleared for use, so if you climb any time other then those months expect some down trees, heavy brush and muddy conditions from the abundant rainfall. About one mile up the trail on JackKnife an avalanche slope is encountered and during wet conditions this is especially dangerous to ascend. Once the ridgetop is reached however an easy walk to the northwest along the ridge will give easy access to the summit. With long summer days in Alaska the sun won't set until after midnight and spectacular views can be had in all directions from the summit. JackKnife is truly one of Alaska's hidden treasures for both the first time climber or the experienced climber.
Getting There
Anyone who wishes to climb JackKnife Mountain certainly needs a boat. It's a 10 mile ride by boat from the little town of Aleknagik, Alaska to Camp Polaris where the trail to JackKnife Mountain is located. By barge (which I took) it takes two hours to reach Camp Polaris. By motor boat it's only half an hour to forty five minutes, depending on the weather. Once you arrive at Camp Polaris, A bunch of shacks painted red, walk to the right of the big red building in the center of the camp and towards the cabins on the right side of the camp. The trail is located next to the outhouses and simply says "Mountain Trail".
Red Tape
There are no permits required to climb this mountain. No Fees. JackKnife is open any time of the year. Just get permission from people at Camp Polaris, if they are there, in order to climb it. Many people in the community of Aleknagik boat out to Camp Polaris and ascend the mountain from the trail quite often. It is really a place of benefit for the community.
When To ClimbJackKnife is usually climbed in the short Alaskan summer months, June through late August or early September. However, expect the possibility of cold rain anytime during that period. Out of the 10 days I spent at the camp beneath JackKnife it rained 8 days and got as cold as 45 during the day in mid July. The trail is hazerdous when wet so it's better to climb after a dry period. Expect rain anytime!
CampingI don't believe camping is allowed on or around the mountain. However, the cabins located at Camp Polaris beneath JackKnife can be used if needed. Please show respect when staying in these cabins as those are intended for the 45 or so children from Dillingham who spend 10 days enjoying the wilderness at a Christian camp.

Hope for industry ...
Week of August 6, 2001
May be hiding in the shadows
By Devin Steele
MYRTLE BEACH, SC Speakers during the Textured Yarn Association of Americas Summer Conference here recently offered informed glimmers of hope for an ailing textile industry.
Without mincing words, Alasdair Carmichael and Mike Hubbard offered their informed takes on the accelerated deterioration of the industry and prospects for the future.
If it were a dying industry, I dont think we would see the investments that are occurring, said Carmichael, a Spartanburg, SC-based associate consultant for UK-based PCI Fibres & Raw Materials, an international marketing firm specializing in synthetic fibers and their raw materials.
Earlier, Hubbard, of the American Yarn Spinners Association, told the group that despite the difficulties the industry is facing, there are new opportunities to increase market share, before explaining how companies can use various trade agreements to their advantage.
More than 200 TYAA members were on hand for these remarks, along with those of textile analyst Kay Norwood of Wachovia Securities and a number of technical presenters.
During the conference, Robert Howell of Dillon Yarn Corporation was elected president of the group for the upcoming year. He succeeded Charlie King of Unifi, Inc.
In his address, U.S. Textiles Singing the Blues? Carmichael presented a few statistics that came as good news to this group of textured yarn specialists. Related to capital investments, the U.S. was the second-highest country in the world for texturing machine spindle shipments last year, he said. Also, the U.S. remains a significant net exporter of textured polyester, with about 55,000 tons exported and 35-40,000 tons imported, he added.
From the last two years of data, the information after five months of this year is even more positive, with imports down substantially while exports are down much less, Carmichael continued, meaning the trade surplus has increased 300 percent over the first five months of the year.
He cited several overseas investments that bode well for the industry, including Golden Ladys purchase of Kayser Roth, Radicis purchase of Globe Manufacturing and Alpeks purchase of DuPonts share of a staple joint venture.
He also pointed out several domestic investments: Berkshire Hathaways buyout of Shaw Industries and Heartlands 60 percent investment in Collins and Aikman and its investment in Springs Industry in its bid to be taken private.
Carmichael then asked philosophically: If this is a sunset industry, then would there be overseas investment taking place? Would there be outside investment companies taking a significant stake in textile companies?
It is clear that some wise heads think that textiles in the USA is still an industry worth being involved in, he added.
Carmichael indicated that certain sectors of the industry carpet, automotive, home furnishing and industrial have a better chance of survival than others.
A necessary word of caution, though, is that no sector can regard itself immune from import attack, as we have seen evidence in all of the above sectors of increased import activity, particularly in home furnishings, he said.
Carmichael showed a number of charts related to the worldwide fiber scene and the textile trade. In a nutshell, demand for and market share of manmade fibers have steadily increased in recent years and is expected to grow at a faster pace in the coming years, he said.
Polyester, with a growth rate of almost 8 percent, is the leader in mill consumption, followed by polypropylene, he pointed out.

Looks great! How did the gluten free crust taste?
It was delicious!Not like a gluten pizza cause denser but I can live with it!
The pizza screen to bake it on is essential!
Yes this was a 5 minute prebake cause I like my crust crispy.Then I added the sauce and cheese and put bake in oven
Great job Rosiegirl.
Thank you!
I made some gluten free crusts for my son and his family, they liked them and said to keep them coming!
The crust looks good. I made GF pizza nite before last and it was great but only after I rebaked slices in the toaster oven to get the bottom crisp. I am going to go and learn yours now. I like the idea of using the screen to bake it on.
