On 8 July 1996 Hurricane Bertha's eye moved across St Thomas and St John between 1:00 and 2:00 pm. The eye of Bertha passed 40 miles northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico at 5:00 pm. Still, the WSR-88D detected mesoscale features in the eyewall of the category 1 hurricane. Archive level IV data were reviewed for this event.
Various researchers have published articles on the structures and mesoscale features of hurricane eyewalls. Black (1993) found that intensifying hurricanes need strong, large updrafts in the eyewall to evacuate a substantial amount of mass out of the eyewall region to support low central pressure. Black found an updraft on the inside edge of the eyewall of Hurricane Hugo with a maximum of 8 ms-1 and a downdraft with a peak of 6 ms-1. Powell and Houston (1993) suggested that a large vertical vorticity component can be produced in a very small area of a hurricane. They added that wind shear is large due to the radial gradient, especially on the inward side of the eyewall wind maximum. A study of eleven hurricanes by Black et al. (1995) found the strongest upward motion is usually located upwind of the eyewall reflectivity maximum while the strongest downward motion lies downwind of the maximum. Furthermore, Fujita (1993) suggested that hurricane swirls (small vortices) occurred in the vicinity of Hurricane Andrew's eyewall where sustained winds decreased rapidly toward the eye. Fujita speculated the swirls occurred beneath the active convective towers resulting in fields of large vorticity and convergence. Marks and Houze (1984b) found in Hurricane Debby at altitudes of 2 to 4 km, in a portion of the developing eyewall, two mesoscale wind speed maxima and a mesoscale vortex were superimposed in the hurricane-scale circulation. Schubert and Guinn (1993) found through numerical model simulations that the polygonal eyewalls in some hurricanes are due to the barotropic instability associated with annular regions of high potential vorticity.
This study will suggest that in Hurricane Bertha some synoptic scale energy was transferred to the mesoscale, resulting in formation of meso-vortices on the inner edge of the eyewall. Then, the meso-vortices fed energy back to the synoptic scale through intensification of convection in the eyewall.
Between 1811 and 1817 UTC a meso-vortex developed just north of the coast of St Thomas. It appeared as a 20-25 dBZ echo within the eye of the hurricane and moved east toward the eyewall. Figure 1 shows echoes associated with the meso-vortex circulation, which intensified to 40-44 dBZ by 1835 UTC and 45-49 dBZ by 1840 dBZ.
Figure 1. Four-panel Base Reflectivity time series at 0.5o elevation for the period 1835UTC (upper left) - 1852UTC (lower right) on 8 July 96
The meso-vortex continued to enhance convection on the east eyewall during the period 1840-1852 UTC. During this time, the areal coverage of higher reflectivities increased and the echo bowed to the north-northeast. It is suspected that a downdraft of air from the inner edge of the eyewall may have been drawn into the circulation of the meso-vortex, producing the bow shaped echo and weak reflectivity channel. Figure 2 shows the meso-vortex enhanced convection beginning to merge with other convection on the northeast side of the eyewall. Reflectivities have increased to 50-54 dBZ in the area of rotating echoes. By 1904 UTC, the merger of echoes appears complete with enhancement of reflectivities along the northeast eyewall still present. Finally, by 1909 UTC the meso-vortex circulation appears to loose definition in the reflectivity pattern on the north eyewall.
Figure 2. Four-panel Base Reflectivity time series at 0.5o elevation for the period 1858UTC (upper left) - 1909UTC (lower right) on 8 July 96
Later, 1927-1933 UTC, the reflectivity data suggests either another meso-vortex develops on the northwest eyewall or a pre-existing meso-vortex becomes better defined. During this period it has a reflectivity of 40-44 dBZ . As the echo associated with the meso-vortex moved south away from the northwest eyewall the reflectivity decreased to 35-39 dBZ by 1956 UTC. Figure 3 shows the echo of the meso-vortex circulation decreasing from a reflectivity maximum of 35-39 dBZ at 2002 UTC to 30-34 dBZ by 2019 UTC. During the period of decreasing reflectivities rotation was very apparent in the reflectivity loop. This meso-vortex appeared to break away from the west eyewall and cross the center of the eye. Such a path would temporarily cut off the source of moisture and surround the meso-vortex with drier subsiding air.
Figure 3. Four-panel Base Reflectivity time series at 0.5o elevation for the period 2002UTC (upper left) - 2019UTC (lower right) on 8 July 96
The meso-vortex circulation can be seen moving north to northwest toward the northeast eyewall at 2025 UTC in Figure 4. Another possible meso-vortex circulation appears to be present on the northwest eyewall from 2019-2031 UTC. There are indications of a hook echo on the northwest eyewall at both 2019 and 2031 UTC. As merger of the eyewall and echo associated with the meso-vortex begins at 2031 UTC, reflectivities in the meso-circulation increase to 40-44 dBZ. Areal coverage of the higher reflectivities continues to increase through 2042 UTC as the meso-vortex reaches the north inner edge of the eyewall. As noted in the previously mentioned meso-vortex, this echo pattern appeared to bow and have a weak echo channel even when reflectivities were decreasing.
Figure 4. Four-panel Base Reflectivity time series at 0.5o elevation for the period 2025UTC (upper left) - 2042UTC (lower right) on 8 July 96
Figure 5 shows the maximum sustained 1-minute averaged surface winds with streamline and isotach analysis at 2200 UTC on 8 July 1996. The figure is a composite of Air Force reconnaissance data collected from 1715-2013 UTC and adjusted to the surface from 700 mb and marine surface observations from 1500-2100 UTC. The analysis time is 78 minutes after the last reflectivity panel shown in Figure 4. However, the data used in the analysis spans the entire reflectivity time series shown in Figures 1 to 4. The figure indicates that the radius of maximum winds (RMW) was located 19 nmi east-northeast of the eye center. This position of the RMW correlates well with the location of the maximum intensity of the meso-vortices (ref. Fig. 1 - Fig. 4) just before they merged with the eyewall.

At least two, and possibly four distinct cyclonically rotating meso-vortices were observed on the inner edge of the eyewall of Hurricane Bertha, while Bertha was in the process of intensification. The mesoscale circulations appeared to initiate on the north or northwest eyewall of the hurricane. Echoes associated with the meso-vortices decreased in intensity as the meso-vortices moved south along the western inner edge and east along the southern inner edge of the eyewall. Convection associated with the meso-vortices and in the eyewall was enhanced along the east and north sides of the eyewall as the circulations moved north along the eastern, and west along the northern inner edges.
Echoes associated with the meso-vortices moving east then north along the inner edge of the eyewall bore patterns similar to bow echoes. Weak echo channels were present and may have been the result of dry subsiding air being drawn into the circulation of the meso-vortices. Increases in echo intensity of the convection associated with the meso-vortices was likely due to two factors: 1) increased positive vorticity values due to the northeast trades merging with the hurricane circulation and 2) higher moisture inflow on the east and north sides of the hurricane due to inflow from the eyewall convection and the ITCZ. The loss of echo intensity by the meso-vortex which crossed the center of Bertha was probably due to the surrounding of the circulation by dry, subsiding air in the eye of Bertha. Hook echoes appeared to occur at times on the inner edge of both the north and east eyewalls. Both a tornado and an outbreak of waterspouts were reported in the U.S. Virgin islands when Bertha's eyewall was in the vicinity. Still, one must consider that the range of the eyewall of Bertha was too far away from the radar data acquisition (RDA) to detect low-level features near the storm's center. The height of the center of the radar beam in Bertha's eyewall was 8,000-10,000 ft. when the hurricane was near and north of the U.S. Virgin islands.
Nowcasts and Hurricane Local Statements may be adjusted to consider the effects of meso-vortices on the inner edge of eyewalls. The most damaging winds are likely to occur with the higher reflectivities associated with echoes of the meso-vortices and mergers. Tornadoes and waterspouts too are more likely to occur in the vicinity of the meso-vortices.

PETTY THEFT, MAIN STREET: A Sheffield Lake man could face charges after he skipped out on a restaurant tab during a blind date. According to his date, a Concord woman, the two had arranged to meet via Facebook on April 4. The woman brought along two friends, and the Sheffield man announced that he would pay for everyone's meal. At one point during the dinner, the man excused himself to make a phone call and never returned, leaving the party with a $95 bill. Police said the man did not answer calls from investigators, however, he did send derogatory texts to the Concord woman. Prosecutors are considering theft charges in the matter.
CRIMINAL DAMAGING, CENTER RIDGE ROAD: Officers are looking for a man that witnesses said sawed a handicapped parking sign off its post outside a business just after 8:30 p.m. April 1. Callers told police a man driving a pickup truck pulled up, sawed the sign off its post and then left it behind. The incident was recorded by the business surveillance system, which did not reveal a license plate or further description of the suspect.
DISORDERLY CONDUCT, CROCKER PARK: A Westlake woman, 39, faces criminal trespass charges after her third arrest for disorderly conduct due to intoxication at Crocker Park since November. Officials at Crocker Park and the Promenade had banned the woman from their shopping centers, but she returned April 5 and was found drunk inside Giant Eagle. The arrest marks her third DCI citation and second trespass arrest at the shopping center since Nov. 25.
FRAUD, BARCLAY BOULEVARD: A man discovered April 2 that two charges totaling $108 were made online with his American Express card in March. The account was closed.
DISORDERLY CONDUCT, CEDARWOOD DRIVE: A Lakewood man, 54, faces charges after he tried April 6 to convince authorities to let him into his girlfriend's apartment. Police confirmed that the girlfriend was locked up in Cuyahoga County jail at the time, serving a six-month sentence for drunken driving. The intoxicated boyfriend insisted that he lived in the apartment, but neighbors refuted his claim to police. The suspect was unable to prove his residency, and was arrested for disorderly conduct. A small dog that had accompanied the man was held in the city kennel until the man sobered up and claimed him the following day.

EAST GREENWICH TWP. — It was a busy Wednesday night for police here as they fielded two robbery calls in a matter of a few hours.
The night picked up for officers just before 8:20 p.m. when police were called to Swedesboro Avenue in the area of the Dutch Auction after a caller reported a man was laying unconscious in the street.
By the time units arrived, the man had regained his bearings and said that he was walking home from the Verizon Store in the Gibbstown Shopping Center when a passenger in a white vehicle pulled up along side him and began to assault him.
The victim was knocked to the ground and had his wallet and a PSP game system stolen from him. The mail assailant got back into the car and drove off.
Then about two hours later authorities were dispatched to the Travel America Travel Center on Berkley Road and Borrelli Boulevard where a man was robbed at knifepoint.
There the victim stated he was walking home from the Rocking Stone Bar headed toward Timberlane Road where he was approached by a black male near the access road to the truck stop.
The victim's girlfriend asked her boyfriend to ask the man they encountered for a ride back to Clarksboro. Police said when asked, the man requested $40, at which time the suspect snatched the cash and stated he didn't have a car.
When the victim asked for his money back, the man with the cash pulled a switchblade and stated "let's fight for it" and went running on foot toward Paulsboro.
An East Greenwich Police K-9 Unit was brought in to track the suspect, but lost his scent in the rear of the Baird Avenue Apartments in Paulsboro. Police are still investigating both incidents.

Green v. County School Board of New Kent County, 391 U.S. 430 (1968) was an important United States Supreme Court case dealing with the freedom of choice plans created to comply with the mandate in Brown II. The Court held that New Kent County's freedom of choice plan did not constitute adequate compliance with the school board's responsibility to determine a system of admission to public schools on a non-racial basis. The Supreme Court mandated that the school board must formulate new plans and steps towards realistically converting to a desegregated system.
Legal background[edit]
In Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 the Warren Court ruled that school segregation was unconstitutional. One year later, in Brown II, enforcement of this principle was given to district courts, ordering that they take the necessary steps to make admittance to public schools nondiscriminatory "with all deliberate speed." The term "all deliberate speed" did little to speed up the school board's plan for integration. Circuit Judge John J. Parker led many in the South in interpreting Brown as a charge not to segregate, but not an order to integrate. In 1963 the Court ruled in McNeese v. Board of Education and Goss v. Board of Education in favor of integration, and showed impatience with efforts to end segregation.
Factual background[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (March 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
New Kent County is a rural county in Eastern Virginia. About one-half of its population of some 4,500 residents were black. There was no residential segregation in the county. The school system had only two combined elementary and high schools, one for whites, one for blacks. The 21 school buses traveled overlapping routes throughout the county. The segregated system was initially established and maintained under the state mandated racial segregation in public education. The School Board continued the segregated operation of the system after the Brown decisions, on the authority of several statutes enacted by Virginia in resistance to those decisions. Some of these statutes were held to be unconstitutional. One statute, the Pupil Placement Act, not repealed until 1966, divested local boards of authority to assign children to particular schools and placed that authority in a State Pupil Placement Board. Under that Act, children were automatically reassigned each year to the school previously attended unless, upon their application, the State Board assigned them to another school; students seeking enrollment for the first time were also assigned at the discretion of the State Board. White families almost uniformly chose the white-identified school, and blacks almost uniformly chose the black-identified school. To September 1964, no pupil had applied for admission to another school under this statute.
Green before the Supreme Court[edit]
This case was argued along with Raney v. Board of Education of Gould School District and Monroe v. Board of Commissioners of Jackson, Tenn. In the last one, the plan in question was called free transfer.
Samuel W. Tucker argued the case for the petitioners, Frederick Gray for the School Board. Louis Claiborne represented the federal government. While the Court did not rule that "freedom of choice" plans were always unconstitutional, it did note that they tended to be ineffective at desegregating a school system, and held that in New Kent County's case the freedom-of-choice plan violated the Constitution.
The decision led to the search for other options, such as zoning, for the placement of students.[citation needed]

Firefighters responding to 99 Ocean Ave. on a 10:26 a.m. alarm found fire in the ground floor of the two-story building, Fire Director Armando Roman said.
A second alarm was called when firefighters saw flames blowing out the ground-floor windows at the rear and racing up the rear of the building toward the roof, Roman said.
By the time the flames were under control at 11:11 a.m., the entire rear of the building had sustained significant fire damage, Roman said.
Three adult residents of the building were assisted in finding shelter by the Red Cross, Roman said, adding the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
By yesterday afternoon, the building's owner had the structure boarded up, Roman said, adding that firefighters left the scene just after 1 p.m.

Rotorua kids as young as 12 have been caught stealing to pay for drugs and police say this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to drug-related crime.
Detective Senior Sergeant Lindsay Pilbrow of the Bay of Plenty Organised Crime Squad said police caught the youths following a spate of vehicle break-ins in central Rotorua. He said four youths aged 12 to 14 were arrested.
"These kids had been stealing to pay for cannabis for their own use. This is a particularly sad example, because it illustrates that young kids are already using cannabis and are committing crimes in order to do so."
Mr Pilbrow's comments come as police plead for community help in catching cannabis growers.
"While the onset of warm, fine weather is good news for vegetable gardeners unfortunately it also means an increase in illegal cannabis-growing activity," he said.
He said cannabis was the most widely used drug in New Zealand and the harm it caused the country could be estimated at $340 million a year.
"The impact of cannabis in Bay of Plenty communities is wide-reaching and beyond the individual user, it often translates into other areas of crime such as burglary, stolen cars, serious violence and intimidation," he said. "This is why targeting organised criminals making a living from the manufacture and distribution of illicit drugs is an ongoing focus for Bay of Plenty police."
Mr Pilbrow said cannabis plots could be growing anywhere, from a backyard, to the middle of the bush, or an indoor hydroponic operation. He urged anyone who had concerns about criminal activity to contact their local police station directly or anonymously call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

So what's it really like working with Colin Farrell? We asked Rosario Dawson, who recently finished shooting Alexander with the Irish bad-boy. "He's really professional," Dawson, 24, said at a charity event for the Lower Eastside Girls Club in New York. "A lot of times we think he's a flash-in-the-pan kind of actor who just had a good moment, but he's really talented. He gives a lot. We were doing 16-hour days, six-day weeks and he got no sleep. I think he's undermined by all of the rumors that go on with him." One of those rumors, of course, involved fellow Alexander star Angelina Jolie. "Colin and Angelina are two of the most written-about people in the world," said Dawson. "I don't normally go into a film already having feelings about somebody that I don't know, and I had that a lot with them. ... It only annoys me because really getting to know him and how talented he is I feel how robbed he is. Now the whole six months is only wrapped on who he f---ed. I really think he did so much more than just f--- Angelina. That's terrible."
The scene: Outside the Trump International Sonesta Beach Resort in Sunny Isles, Fla., near Miami, at 2 a.m., the night before auditions for the second season of The Apprentice. Nearly 150 people sit in chairs and sleeping bags, waiting for their shot – and the ones we poll seem to believe it's worth it. Who are they? Here's a sampling:
Desmond Flynn, 30, a financial adviser with American Express from Deltona, Fla., at nearly the back of the line.
"An opportunity like this is once in a lifetime. If you are qualified for it, you'll make it in. If it is meant to be for you, then you will be there. If not, then que sera, move on to the next thing. This is not just a reality show – it is a test of your will, a test of your knowledge and your skills. It's the best thing out there. Survivor tests if you are tough, Fear Factor tests if you are crazy. This just tests your basic knowledge and all the skills you have."
Fab Charry, 28, sales manager for an Office Max in Miami. Second in line, camped out since 9:30 that morning, waiting 24 hours until audition time.
"So far it has been nothing but a positive experience. Everyone in line is real friendly, real positive. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so it's definitely worth it. I feel like I have been here five minutes. It has gone that quick."
Beau Santiago, first in line, is holding the spot for his girlfriend of two years, who is a professional IT recruiter from Miami.
"It's just part of being a partnership. She's a well-driven, professional-minded person. She's going to take it all. She's got it in her mind to win this, so I support her 100 percent."
Gabrielle Union is the new face of Neutrogena. "You'll see the new commercials and new print ads soon," the actress tells us. Union takes over the gig once held by Jennifer Love Hewitt and Mandy Moore.
Recently spotted:
Anne Heche and her husband, Coley Laffoon, at the Lia Schorr Day Spa on Manhattan's Upper East Side, pampering themselves before the opening of her new Broadway show, Twentieth Century. She had a facial and he had a manicure and a massage.
Zac and Taylor Hanson, minus older brother Isaac, jamming with up-and-coming singer Ben Jelen at a Rock the Vote benefit at the Knitting Factory in Manhattan. The group covered Tracy Chapman's "Revolution." On hand to watch: supermodel Karolina Kurkova, Queer Eye's Carson Kressley and American Dreams' Rachel Boston.

The appearance of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has brought suffering and death to those who are afflicted and, at the same time, has posed daunting challenges to those who care for the sufferers, to biomedical scientists, and to those responsible for public health and public policy. Among these challenges is the protection of the nation's blood supply from contamination by the causative agent of AIDS—human immunodeficiency virus (previously referred to as human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III [HTLV-III]/lymphadenopathy-associated virus and subsequently referred to in this document as HIV in accordance with emerging and recommended usage). This challenge was met rapidly by the development of laboratory tests to detect the presence of antibody against the virus. The application of these tests makes it possible to determine whether the person has been infected by the virus at some time and, thus, to exclude persons from donating blood or to discard blood already

Jamie Foxx puts a charge into 'Spider-Man 2'
By Jake Coyleap Film Writer | 5/9/2014, 11:27 a.m.
NEW YORK (AP) - Jamie Foxx, who stars in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2,'' knows something about the double-life of a superhero.
Though he's 46, Jamie Foxx was only born 25 years ago. Named Eric Bishop at birth, he adopted the stage name at a Texas open mic, choosing a gender neutral moniker since women were chosen quicker at the comedy club.
"When I go home, I'm Eric Bishop,'' says Foxx. "And then when I go out, I put my cape on and I'm Jamie Foxx.'' He smiles and summons a sonorous Superman entrance: "I'm Jamie Foooxx! I'm here to save the world!''
But being "Jamie Foxx,'' he grants, can be exhausting: "You have to know how to pull back, especially for me because sometimes I'm constantly on.''
So it's fitting that when the makers of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2'' needed someone to play energy embodied, they turned to the perpetually "on'' Foxx. In the film, which opens Friday, he plays Max Dillon, the shy Oscorp electrical engineer who's transformed into the villain Electro after falling into a pool of electric eels.
Foxx's highly charged personal energy takes many forms. He's a stand-up, a sketch comedian (see: "In Living Color'' or his 2012 stint hosting "Saturday Night Live''), an Oscar-winning dramatic actor (the Ray Charles biopic "Ray''), a chart-topping pop star, and now he's a member of the Marvel universe.
"He's a performer in the deepest sense of the word,'' says "Spider-Man'' director Marc Webb. "When we were on set shooting three weeks at night in Times Square in the cold, he would get out and do Michael Jackson in the center of Times Square in his Electro outfit. The first day on set, he comes in and he just holds court. He does five minutes of stand-up that he's improvising right there.''
In a recent interview, Foxx casually displayed his versatility, peppering his otherwise thoughtful conversation with bursts of impressions: the boxer Mike Tyson (he wants to play him in a biopic), a hint of President Barack Obama, a hysterical version of the comedian Mo'Nique ("Hey, baby, let me tell you somethin'!''), a Peter O'Toole-like English accent to talk about winning an Oscar.
"That's my whole life, mimicking,'' Foxx says. "It's what I do.''
He also switches into Will Smith to explain why he wanted the part of Electro, recalling a conversation between the two in which Smith befuddles Foxx by traveling to Russia to sell a movie.
"I'm like, `Why are you'll going to Russia? I'm going to Detroit,''' says Foxx. "But what he was doing was opening it up for a person like me to be able to go to these places.''
For Foxx, the globally popular "Spider-Man'' is a way to sow a worldwide audience. The actor believes he landed the part because of the huge international success of Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained,'' (it made $262 million overseas), which Foxx calls a "reset button'' on his career.
"In our business, we say, 'How do you travel internationally?' - especially for an African-American kid,'' says Foxx. "So 'Django' gave me a huge international look so now we're talking about taking `Annie' down the streets of Rome, down the streets of Paris, down the streets of Singapore.''

It's that time of year again. The transfer window is closed, fans up and down the country are spending way too many work hours obsessing over their fantasy team and your club is (probably) already in turmoil. But for many, none of that is as important as the release of a new Football Manager game. Last night, in a crowded London bar, developer Sports Interactive and publisher SEGA revealed the first details on FM 2009, due for release on November 14. After the show, where a brand new 3D match engine was unveiled, we sat down with Sports Interactive MD Miles Jacobson to quiz him on the new features and get the inside scoop on what young player you should be tapping up when the game comes out.
VideoGamer.com: When we interviewed you last year for the last game we asked you how difficult it was to innovate with a game that comes out every year. Does it get harder to justify the money fans fork out for the game?
Miles Jacobson: I think what we've announced this year shows that that's bollocks really. While yes we do work on annual cycles with 3D (match engine) we can work on it for a while and it's more than possible to have people working on stuff for longer when you're doing annual cycles and just not tell anyone you're working on them. So it's not getting harder at all. I think the stuff that we've announced tonight, there's some evolution but there's some revolution as well. Things like assistant manager feedback, particularly with the 3D match views. I think it gets harder as you get older, because a lot of our guys now have wives and kids and things like that. But, you know, we still love every minute of it, otherwise we wouldn't carry on doing it.
VideoGamer.com: We're particularly interested in how you've completely rebuilt the transfer system. How will it be different for the player?
MJ: The user will not see much difference. It will be a hell of a lot faster. Quite a few of the features that you'll see in the game will be made possible because we've rewritten what we call the shortlist manager, that controls all the transfers. They'll see a lot more transfers that make sense. They'll see more things like what you've seen this year in the transfer window; there were a lot of season long loans with views to a permanent transfer afterwards, you'll be seeing more of those in there. It's just more flexible, more efficient, and makes it easier moving forward as well as easier this year. You know that system has been in place for many many years, so it was due a shake up.
VideoGamer.com: So no console version this year. Have you got any message to your 360 fans who might feel disappointed by this?
MJ: I hope you have laptops as well! The game wasn't exactly the best-selling game on Xbox 360 ever. So while I'm sure there will be some people who are disappointed by the fact that we're not doing one, we didn't think the quality was good enough. I wouldn't want to be duping anyone into buying a game that we didn't think was good enough. At the time we finished it we thought it was. When we were sitting at home playing it, it just didn't feel right. So if we are going to go back to consoles in the future we're going to have to think about things very very hard about what to do. But for the time being we've got to concentrate on the PC game, the Mac game, the PSP game and Football Manager Live and see what happens from that.
VideoGamer.com: So that's not if for the console version?
MJ: No. I'm not saying never. I'm saying this year, definitely not. I don't know what's going to happen with 2010 yet. We need to get 2009 finished and out there and hopefully people will love it and then we'll start thinking about Football Manager 2010 from there.
VideoGamer.com: What did you think of the reviews of the last game?
MJ: I thought that any reviews that give us constructive criticism are always welcome. Any reviews that go, it's just a data update are not welcome because it means the people who wrote that about the game last year didn't take the trouble to read the features list provided, because there was over 100 new features last year. But any constructive criticism was good. Saying that, the reviews last year were really good. I think we had one bad review from a Norwegian website where the journalist just didn't like the game, and that's fair enough, you know we can't please everyone. But most of the reviews were pretty good.
VideoGamer.com: Is FM 2009 better than FM 2008 in your opinion?
MJ: I don't think we've had a year where the game hasn't been better than the last one, which might be a controversial statement because a lot of people say CM4 wasn't as good as 01/02 but the different steps in technology for me made it a better game. There are certainly some people on our forums who preferred 2006 to 2007. There seems to be a pattern. There are some people who had genuine concerns with 2008 and spoke about them incredibly eloquently on our forums and helped shape FM2009. I've been quite clear that the confidence system, there were some issues with it, they shouldn't have been there, and it's taken us a lot of time to get fixed, but we've done it. We're happy to listen to people. Same with the transfer system. We've been working on regens as well. When we get feedback we listen to it. We'd be stupid not to.
VideoGamer.com: Were you watching Sky Sports News on Monday?
MJ: What for the transfer window? How much fun was that?!
VideoGamer.com: I know! Drama!
MJ: But they add so much more drama to it than is actually there! Oh my God this player has been seen in this airport! No he hasn't. You're lying. The BBC thing is actually better than Sky Sports News, because they just get people texting in at random. My mate's dad's uncle's dog's cat's wife saw Robinho in Hull. Things like that, it's genius. Transfer window day is one of my favourite days of the year.

Nine local raconteurs tell their tales of love at second Story Barn
Published 1:02 am, Friday, March 5, 2010
Last Thursday, on a dark and snowy night, the Greenwich Historical Society (GHS) was host to a number of Greenwich folk drawn to the flame of story telling. They were gathered in the GHS barn to hear nine storytellers spin out their tales in the second-ever Story Barn presentation.
The story telling theme for this occasion was "All You Need is Love" -- to mark the February Valentine month. Acting as emcee was stand-up comedienne Bonnie Levison, a GHS board member who brought the storytelling idea to the GHS.
Levison kicked things off with stories of her divorced days, when she needed, she said, "To find a new love for myself."
"Greenwich is not exactly the singles hub for middle aged women," Levison said. After "hitting the Internet" and clicking onto Match.com, she met her first blind date at Polpo Restaurant "at the elder people's seating -- at 6 -- in daylight." Her date was the parent of one of her child's classmates. "Parents night hasn't been the same since," she said.
On another dinner date at Mediterraneo Restaurant on Greenwich Avenue "where the tables are six-inches apart," conversation came to a stop, she said, when she found her gynecologist sitting at the next table.
Guests at the Story Barn nibbled on popcorn and pretzels, and sipped cider, wine and beer as other storytellers told their five-minute tales, including actress Nancy Thode sharing tales of her southern childhood, Matt Bernard, his Belle Haven history, Patricia Chadwick and her Brenda Frazier story, Gideon Fountain's tales of his silent film star grandmother, Leatrice Joy, Irishman Jerry Judge's tale of Prince Charles and singer/dancer Audrey Appleby reliving unhinged Paris nights.
To give full flavor of the storytellers this reporter retells three tales of animal and adolescent love.
The Rev. Bill Evertsberg of First Presbyterian Church had the dog lover's story. Evertsberg's Golden Retriever was named Duncan. "He was dumber than a bag of hammers but sweeter than Mother Teresa," began Evertsberg, "He was an incontrovertible pacifist. I called him my Quaker dog." Duncan would hang out in Evertsberg's office every day. "Dog," said Evertsberg "is God reflected in a mirror."
But a year ago Duncan stopped eating, including his favorite, Evertsberg's wife's grilled cheese sandwich. "He was food motivated, like people are," Evertsberg said. But Duncan died a year ago January and Evertsberg was "so crushed" he was embarrassed of how heartbroken he was. The trained theologian began questioning, "I wonder if God cares about dogs. I wonder if there is any eternal life for dogs. I wonder if there are dogs in heaven."
Evertsberg's dog loss questionings he related had earlier been shared by the two-year-old daughter of his associate pastor, Avery. After her Shetland sheepdog Cali had died, she kept asking when her dog would return. "The concept of permanently gone," said Evertsberg, "Avery did not understand."
Not long after Duncan's loss, the now three year old Avery appeared in Evertsberg's office asking, "Where's Duncan?" Her mother told her, "Duncan went to heaven." The response was swift, "Oh good," said Avery, "then Cali will have somebody to play with."
"It felt like a word from the Lord from the mouth of a 3-year-old," said Evertsberg,
Then ,on Martin Luther King Day, a new Golden puppy arrived at the Evertsberg home -- named, as before, after Shakespearian characters, Dudley Dogberry. "Dudley reminds us so much of Duncan," said Evertsberg, "it's as if this puppy is channeling his predecessor. God is saying to me life goes on, here or in heaven."
"It's true," quipped comedienne Levison looking first at a photo of puppy Dudley and then at Evertsberg, "Owners do look like their dogs."
"Thank you so much," said Evertsberg.
Master storyteller Terry Betteridge, fresh from snowed-in Vail, Colorado, from refitting one of his jewelry store branches, told of his calamitous love life at age 17. "I watched `Leave it to Beaver' and knew what a woman was like," he said, straight-faced, before the group.
He went on to talk about his difficulties experiencing the "wild glories of physical love.". One night in Bruce Park he and his date were perched atop a rock cliff "drinking this wine," he said, he jumped down, landing squarely on a skunk. "This thing just blasts me," he said, and "Passion goes out the window."
Driving out to backcountry with the same girl in his 1963 Porsche Cabriolet, he was in search of a hidden roadside. Parked at midnight by a "little pond," out "Mrs. Kelsey's" way, with the seats back "and the windows steaming," his girl says, "It's getting light!"
It was a flashlight. "License and registration!" said a police officer. Betteridge, pulling himself together, could procure no license. Giving his name, the officer asked, "Are you Bert Betteridge's son?" "Yes sir." "Chip off the old block," came the reply.
Tennessee-raised gynecologist Dr. Wear Culvahouse exhibited his southern gift for story telling in a groundhog story. Aged 7or 8 on the family farm, young Culvahouse was hoeing in the garden when "out of the wood came two groundhogs."
"I'm mortified," he said, "They're coming right at me!" His mother cried out, "Throw your hoe."
"The metal part cleaved the head of the hog and it was dying! I was crying and sobbing," he said. A hunter, he realized, he would never be. Fast forward to his backcountry Greenwich vegetable garden when he discovered he was being robbed by a groundhog. A friendly "have-a-heart" trap was set and the next morning, he found "a massive groundhog."
But, how to get rid of it?
"A tisket a tasket, a ground hog in a basket," he chanted. The basket was taken to Middle Patent Road to a nice meadow and the groundhog was released to the wild. A proud Culvahouse sat by the road breathing a sign of relief, when a policeman appeared. "He writes me a ticket," said Culvahouse, "for transporting an animal across state lines."
Steve Eggers introduced himself as the cartoonist "Bobbi Egger's husband," and brought the evening's theme back to human love speaking of his ongoing passion for his wife. He ended on a cynical note reciting lines from an anonymous poem he found at Tumbledown Dick's (once on the Post Road in Cos Cob): "But the most wonderful love, the Love of all loves./Even greater than the love for Mother/Is the infinite, tenderest, passionate love/Of one dead drunk for another."
His second poem recitation was a parody he said "of a saccharin poem of the 1960s" that read, "If you find something you love, set it free./If it doesn't come back, it wasn't meant to be." His version was, "If it doesn't come back, hunt it down and kill it."

With the momentum quickly shifting, College of the Canyons turned to the girl who has been coming through all season long.
Brittany Sayre returned from the bench to notch the match-winning goal from 15-yards out to push the Cougars past East Los Angeles College, 3-2, in the first round of the California Community College Athletic Association Women's Soccer Southern Regional Playoffs.
The goal came just over 10 minutes after Sayre re-entered the game.
"With her, she's so athletic and so strong that when we have her on the field she really does make a difference up top," said COC head coach Justin Lundin. "And I never really felt worried we weren't going to win the game. We had a rough fifteen, twenty minute stretch, but besides that we were pretty dominate. Once we got her back on the field I knew it was just a matter of time."
Things were going as expected early, with No. 2-seeded College of the Canyons jumping out to a 2-0 lead over the Huskies, who had to win a play-in game over Long Beach City just to get to this point.
Casey Wesley got things going with an unassisted goal in the 26th minute, and Brianna Helton followed up with an insurance goal in the 44th minute, also unassisted.
But things changed in a hurry.
The Huskies scored two goals in a three minute span just over 10 minutes into the second half past Cougars' goalkeeper Katherine Koury.
Koury made two saves on the day.
East L.A.'s Vanessa Lizarraga pulled her team within one in the 57th minute and Sonia Gramajo tied the score, 2-2, off an assist by in the 60th minute.
"The big thing was we lost the center of the field and we kind of have the tendency to do this," Lundin said. "This is the third time we've gone up 2-0 and given up our lead. We have a tendency to get a little complacent when the game seems like it's in hand and the midfield relaxes and when they relax we get into trouble."
The Cougars put the pressure early on with Saugus High graduate Stacey Atwater putting a shot on goal in the second minute that was saved by Anaissa Gonzalez.
Gonzales would make two saves on the day.
Now, the Cougars will continue on in the regional playoffs with a game against No. 7-seeded Ventura on Tuesday at College of the Canyons. "We play best when we play against very good teams and when we play against teams that aren't as good, sometimes, we get in our own way," Lundin said. "The teams left in the playoffs are all going to be very, very good teams. I don't see that being an issue. We're going to have to stay focused."

Have a beautiful day!
Carol Anne
These are beautiful--your scans are so clear! How do you scan them--what kind of printer do you have--just curious--my scanner is adequate, but not this clear. One day I will have to try printing your sheet music to use in my art--it's so nice of you to share these with others! I'm too busy with grandkids and birthdays right now, but can't wait to get back to making ATCs and things!
Thinking of you always, Jann
Hello Carol Anne, Great to see you back blogging again. I've missed you.......
What lovely graphics.
Hope you are doing Ok.
It's cold here in Ohio today..19 degrees right now. I need
some of your warm weather and sunshine.
Much love & a big hug to you my sweet friend. ~Mary~
Thank you so much for the vintage sheet music, it printed beautifully. I can't wait to use it now!
Love the sheet music and thankyou so much , I will use it thoughtfully. Have a great day!!
Hi Carol Anne,
Thanks for the use of your great looking sheet music. Here is the link to an image I used it on for a subtle touch of valentine romance (under the red texture). You are a generous lady with your images. It is much appreciated!
Thank you for the sheet music. I was working on a OWH card and needed this desperately. The song is perfect for my sentiment.
Thank you so much for your collection and your generosity. I plan to make beads with the printing and add them to a loom bracelet. Thanks again!
thank you so much! I've been searching for hymns and I'm so glad I found your blog! You have a wonderful one. May the Good Lord bless you and your generousity! Laura R.

No More "Sweet Home Alabama"
One unfortunate aspect of South Florida's music scene is that there isn't nearly enough room for bands making original music to thrive financially. There are only so many venues left (and the economy isn't helping). Too many bar owners who hire bands are really just looking for a live jukebox to keep their customers happy. It's limiting, to say the least, and the local power-pop trio Panic Disorder knows all about it. The band has been grinding away three nights a week for the past two years, trying to make a name for itself — though the reality is that cover gigs are what pay the bills. Now that it's just released its first full-length album, Figure It Out (a quality, ten-song rocker full of catchy tunes about love gone awry), the band hopes local music lovers recognize that it can do a lot more than play "Blister in the Sun" to drunk patrons night after night.
I recently checked in with Panic Disorder's lead singer, Danny Guerrieri, who talked about the band's new album and the annoyances of playing covers.
New Times: Are you nervous about playing more shows full of originals instead of just working as a cover band?
Guerrieri: No, it excites us more than anything. It's been so long, we're raring to go. Most people just know us as a cover band, and sometimes we play an original and folks are like, uh, that's great, now let's hear "Sweet Home Alabama." I don't let it bother me, but we can do a heck of a lot more than that.

How long did it take you to finish this record, and what's it all about?
It took us about two months from start to finish once we went into the studio. The basic theme of the CD is, during the writing process... both my drummer and I were going through turbulent times in relationships. A lot of it is about trying to get your life and relationships on track... and how you deal with it.
How many songs do you have in your cover repertoire that you pool from each night?
We've got 150 songs that we can play note for note without having to think about it.
What's the most annoying song that people request— the one where you're like, "Fuck! Not that again?"
I'd have to say "Brown-Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison. Unfortunately, it's a great song... I only wish to write a song that popular some day. But if I had to play it again, I'd rather have my head chopped off.
What else is on that list?
"Sweet Home Alabama!" We've thrown in "All Summer Long" from Kid Rock just to spice it up, though. Also "Free Bird," but I refuse to play it. I just say, "Sorry, I'm not fucked up enough to play that song right now."

Which wideouts had the worst hands in 2010?
Certain players take a lot of criticism for dropped passes. James Jones was one of those guys in 2010, especially after he missed an opportunity for a huge gainer in Super Bowl XLV.
The Packers have to decide what to do with Jones this offseason. There was a report that they didn't offer him a restricted free agent tender, but he says they did. This got me thinking — just how bad were Jones' drops this year?
The number of passes that a WR drops is not a stat that is widely available. I found this table over at the Washington Post, which allowed me to calculate each player's drops as a percentage of their targets:

Kim Kardashian doesn't mind being the butt of Eminem's joke.
The reality star is one of many celebrities the rapper pokes fun at in his new video, "We Made You," from his upcoming album Relapse.
"I just saw Eminem's new video for "We Made You" and he totally spoofs me!!" Kardashian says on her blog. "It was a total surprise to me because I had no idea he was going to talk about me in the song."
In the video, an actress playing Kardashian shows off an exaggerated posterior over dinner at a restaurant. The character eventually meets a Fargo-like fate in a wood chipper (which converts her to cash).
"I think this video is so funny! I am a huge Eminem fan and find it flattering that he would rap about me," says Kardashian. "He's a bit harsh about some other celebrities, but you just have to let it go and have a sense of humor."
Also skewered in the video: Bret Michaels, Jessica Simpson, Sarah Palin, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Amy Winehouse.
Relapse, Eminen's first studio album since 2004's Encore, is due out May 19.

The study explored the politics of mobility for Palestinian-Canadians, an understudied population in terms of transnational practices and issues of identity and hybridity. It also explored issues of citizenship and belonging using extensive interview data with Palestinian-Canadians in the GTA. Throughout the thesis the highly politicized aspect of mobility/immobility, national identity, and national autonomy in the Palestinian case was present. The research highlighted the continuing role of state actors in determining mobility and rights, despite the increasing rhetoric of borderless mobility. The study reveals that the majority of the Palestinian Canadians travel overseas regularly and their outbound travel patterns demonstrate a significant ethnic component. Palestinian Canadians travel to their country of birth as their dominant outbound travel destination for the purposes of visiting friends and relatives and maintaining social and cultural ties, indicating strong ties with homeland that have ethnic links. However, Palestinians holding Canadian citizenship have a higher propensity to travel overseas than permanent resident.

When are we going to find out what happened in the bank?
Relatively quickly. What happened in the bank is secondary to the characters and what they're going through. The meat and potatoes is the character drama, and the spice is this mystery.
How would you handle yourself in a hostage situation?
I'm right on the thin red line. I could either become a total coward and huddle in a corner, or I could be a hero. I'm not sure.
More Talk with
Your Favorite Stars
For the most part I think I'm okay under pressure. Sometimes the things that irk me are very trivial. I'll lose my cool because I can't find my keys, which is embarrassing and stupid.
Does that happen often?
Ah ... no. Actually, that was a really bad example 'cause I never lose my keys. [But] when I see people litter, it drives me insane. It drives me into a blind rage and I totally lose my cool.
Have you had confrontations over it?
I've almost gotten the sh– kicked out of me in New York several times. I'm, like, an idiot. If I were king, the punishment for littering would be death and there would be carnage in the streets. It would be horrible.
Outside of the litter problem, do you miss living in New York?
New York holds a very special place in my heart. But I make a lot of money, and I can't afford to live in New York. I don't know how people do it anymore. Every five blocks $100 just falls out of my pocket. I don't know how it happens.
You turned 50 this year. How are you dealing with it?
You know, two years ago people would say, "How old are you?" I'd say "48" and they would say, "Wow, you look fantastic!" Now when people ask how old I am, and I say 50, they're like, "You're 50? You're disgusting! Get away from me. Don't touch my kids!" People ask me how I'm dealing with it [but] I'm fine. For some reason, people act as though I've told them I have some horrible venereal disease.
How do you stay looking so good?
I work out. I guess I'm sort of a genetic freak.
You've been married for 24 years (to actress Amy Von Nostrand). What is your secret to a successful marriage?
Anyone who's been married this long knows it ain't easy, but I would say the first rule of thumb is don't get divorced! That'll keep you together. A lot of hard work and tolerance and understanding. My wife and I spend a lot of time apart. Maybe that helps!
