Two suspects are in custody after Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community police officers sealed the area around a shots fired call on Sunday morning, officials said.
Police responded to a call of gunshots in the area of Alma School and Indian School roads about 2:30 a.m., and when they got there, they saw muzzle fire from a gunshot, Salt River Police Department spokesman Detective Vicente Cendejas said.
Police then backed off and formed a perimeter around the area, searching for the source of the gunfire, he said.
The two suspects surrendered after police established communication using a Department of Public Safety Bomb Squad robot, Cendejas said. Investigators began wrapping up the scene about six hours after the initial calls.
There were no injuries and police did not fire any gunshots, he said.
The Mesa and Scottsdale police departments, DPS and the FBI assisted with the situation.
The motive behind the gunfire was unknown. The investigation is ongoing.
Check back for updates.

A K-9 unit helped track down a Lebanon man who crashed his car into a utility pole guide wire and fled the scene, Rochester police said.
Officers were called to Main Street on Thursday around 9 p.m., where they encountered a Toyota Tercel that had gone off the road and into a utility pole guide wire.
Police said the driver, Daniel Casey, 41, had left the scene of the crash before they arrived. However, a K-9 unit was able to track him down in the woods nearby.
Casey was charged with driving under the influence and conduct after an accident, and he was taken to the hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Q: On North Korea. I was wondering if you could comment first on the Pentagon's response or any steps that might be taken following North Korean threats yesterday of putting its forces on alert over this issue of their second nuclear site, as well as what the latest estimate is on when they may test another missile?
A: I don't want to get into intelligence estimates or analysis. I've certainly read many reports in the press that there's an expectation that North Korea may test another missile this month. It's the third day of the month, I guess time will tell.
We know that they have tested missiles in the past and assume they'll test missiles in the future, so it wouldn't be hugely surprising if they were to have another test. It would, however, be very disappointing if they were to test again because we've urged them not to proceed with tests, and we've urged them not to proceed with missile sales to other countries as well. And we will continue to urge them against further tests because we think it's destabilizing.
Q: [Jeremy] seemed to be steering people away from that imminent test yesterday at the State Department briefing yesterday. Without going into intelligence details, can you tell us have there been any signs that they might be preparing for a test soon?
A: You mean like public newspaper articles in the North Korean press? (Laughter)
Q: No. Have there been any signs that North Korea...
A: How can I do that without going into intelligence details? I just think that certainly there are a lot of newspaper reports suggesting that they're preparing for another test. I can't confirm those reports and I can't talk about our own intelligence analysis.
Q:...of my question about the North Korean Press Agency yesterday came out with a story that said that North Korean forces were being put on alert to go to war with the United States should it come to that over the suspected nuclear weapon site that we want to get access to. Have there been any changes in the status of our forces in South Korea in response to that?
A: First of all, the North Korean forces have recently started their winter training exercise which they undertake at about this time of year annually.
Second, they from time to time make bellicose statements suggesting that they're about to be attacked. I'm not aware that there's any basis for these statements right now. They may be doing this more for internal reasons than for eternal reasons. I can't psychoanalyze the North Koreans and the public statements they make.
Third, our forces in South Korea are very alert all the time. We monitor what the North Koreans are doing and I'm not aware at this stage that there is anything out of the ordinary going on beyond the winter training exercises that usually take place at this time of the year.
Fourth, were the North Koreans to miscalculate and take some unfortunately provocative action, we would be ready to respond very quickly and very decisively.
Q: Some of the North Korean statements by the North Korean military were directed at this new military strategy that calls for, U.S. military strategy that apparently calls for an offensive response in case of attack rather than just repelling a North Korean assault. Has the U.S. briefed the North Koreans in any general sense on any... on what their strategy is now...any changes in it?
A: We do not have a practice of briefing the North Koreans on our military posture or strategy. (Laughter)
Q: Well, --
A: And I'm not aware that we've started recently. But let me address the bigger issue.
There was a newspaper story alleging a new operating plan or strategy toward North Korea. I'm not aware that that was an accurate account. I'm not aware that it was accurate.
Q: You're not aware it's accurate.
A: Right.
Q: One of the things that report said is that the outline for this plan would be briefed in, or would be laid out to the North Korean in generals talks. Has that...
A: There haven't been any recent generals talks that I'm aware of. There were some talks. I don't think there have been any recent ones.
Q: Will there be one sometime tomorrow?
A: No.
Q: In New York?
A: Tomorrow there will be talks in New York, but those are over access to the underground facilities that we want to analyze.
Q: Drawing from the Washington Post article, today's, the 3rd, it says how does the United States respond to the general staff of North Korean's People's Army saying that Washington was heightening tension by demanding inspections and talks aimed at preventing North Korea from developing nuclear weapons and long range missiles, that it's our fault that there are heightened tensions.
A: I think that's balderdash.
Q: One of the Defense Ministers in North Korea said something along the lines of our People's Army will blow up the U.S. territory as a whole if the U.S. starts a war on the peninsula.
A: We don't talk about operating plans. We have a very significant military force in South Korea to protect the South Koreans and to protect our interests. That's all I can say about it................

The Waiting Game
Yes this game is fun and yes all of those great plays that come from a "beautiful pass," and some might be thinking how this game has any flaws but there truly is one major and I mean major flaw. This game without a doubt expresses the true sport of soccer (futból) with all the basic elements (international teams, different game selections etc.) but I don't see a flaw in the graphics, narrator or even the jerseys no the biggest thing is this, the fact that you need to wait for stamina. It's crazy! I want to play many games in a row but I need to buy yes BUY stamina, I can't tell you how many times I want to play but can't because I need to wait 10 to 20 minuets for my stamina to recharge. It really annoys me because this game can out THREE YEARS AGO, they don't need to make you buy it. I would be fine if you only had to watch and add to get your stamina but I am not emptying my pockets for this game. Really that's the biggest flaw to me and it needs to be changed ASAP so I hope people agree with me.
So close...
Dear app monetization team, I think your option for me to watch an ad to get more "energy" to play the game is fantastic. I'm willingly choosing to view an ad, which means that I'm internalizing the idea that your production costs are paid for by my ad viewing eyeballs. Good so far. What's not acceptable is "sorry no more videos to watch, check back later" Either your team doesn't know what an ad exchange (place to sell publisher ad inventory) is or its a ploy to get me to buy energy. In the case of the latter, please have your marketing team reevaluate who your buyer personas are. If I'm already willingly to view ads instead of fork over cash, why would I suddenly decide to pay money based on a feeble frustration technique. Well, I guess you have frustrated me. Deleting the app, hope others have better luck. Go Spurs!
Awesome game but....
I have to say this is a really fun game and I really only have one problem with it. The graphics are great everything else is really cool but the stamina is a huge problem. The fact that you can only play one game and then have to wait about 7 hours to play another one is like a nightmare so all I'm saying is that I highly recommend the creator of the game to please either not have to use up so much stamina in one game or maybe make the wait time for more stamina way shorter. Thanks!

Legal Threats & Bribery Have Unintended Consequences
Today former iOS developer, Michael of iControlMIDIDesign, discovered that making legal threats and attempting to bribe a blogger have unintended consequences. Following a post yesterday, which included an email excerpt, iControlMIDIDesign continued to email blogger Tim Webb with apoplectic rage.
Michael made assertions that his conversation with me was private, despite all of the emails including the words "Press Inquiry" in the subject line. The very first line of the very first email also identified myself as a blogger at discchord.com.
Having had a good cry and a lie down, Michael thought better of his tactics. Though not much better it would seem.
This afternoon I received a new email from Michael requesting information on advertising here on the site. He was hoping to get me to yank the earlier article, and included a veiled legal threat.
Despite any delusions he may have harbored about an expectation to privacy in the original email, there is no way in hell he has any kind of expectation for privacy now after the previous post... so I'm pretty sure I can post this in its entirety!
Hi Tim,
We would be interested in the Menu Badge.
There is a post on your website that is impairing our business due to the release of un-authorized content. I have been contacting my lawyer and he is recommending to friendly settle if you accept to remove it. In return we would be happy to purchase that Menu Badge for the next 5-6 months as proof of good partnership.
Let us know.
Best regards,
For future reference to anyone that wants to buy out content on this site, it is going to cost a bit more than $300. I'll sell you the site for $300,000 and you can pull any article you like. Any other offer to sell out, or threats to my first amendment rights, will be posted here.
By the way, any Lawyers out there? This is the second time someone has made legal threats in the last 3 months. I've been busy!
Reader Comments (54)
You sir are one crazy mofo in your own language. Your site is not worth $300 000! And I very much doubt you get the 50 000 hits you claim to
Even if you used cleaner language , stopped dissing and stopped sensationalist posts like this, I very much doubt anyone would like to buy your site, why? One can easily set up a free one on word press and, it seems you have discredited the whole iOS community by the above distasteful post
Why do you see the need to highlight a private argument in full public view?
Seriously, some of the content you put out and the language you use is highly embarrassing for anyone involved with music apps
Do us all a favour and clean up your act
I consider myself to be "involved with music apps", and I do not feel "highly embarrassed" by any of the posts that I've read here on discchord.com.
Tim has not "highlighted a private argument in full public view" he has only printed a shocking and rude response to his press inquiry on his blog. Why don't you ask a question of the developer, "why did you have to be such a jerk?"
It is not this blog's responsibility to protect individuals and/or businesses from themselves. If the developer had responded in a more professional manner, none of this recent unflattering press would have happened.
I find nothing about this site offensive or embarrassing.
Gosh, out of 50 000 hits a month you only get two peeps defending you? Oh, maybe you'll have to join in under an alias or ten then
I wonder how long it will take for telengard to turn up then:)
I'll say that I find the blog a little salty from time to time, but I see it in the spirit of Hunter S. Thompson or Matt Taibbi style journalism. A bit of hyperbole, some profanity, but on the whole, an entertaining read. Ok, maybe it's more TMZ than Thompson/Taibbi, but it's still fun.
As far as the lawyer thing goes -- I would consider Discchord to be part of the "new media press," and the press has pretty good coverage under the law. Say something to a reporter, and unless you've got very very very clear ground rules in place before opening your yap, it's fair game. Taibbi took down some top military brass by printing stuff that they said, but didn't want heard. Gizmodo published a bunch of info on a stolen iPhone -- they're blocked from all future Apple announcements, but as far as I know, nobody went to jail, and if there had been a court judgment against them, they would have been wiped off the face of the earth.
this what winning on the internet looks like.
I would be cautious. Anything you post public can be used against you (especially this private matter and the mini 'interview' from the other post). You seemed to have upset the developer and you do not know what his business is worth or how much money his has on his bank account, and what he is ready to do against you to get reparation if he thinks you are harming his business.
There are lot's of hatered and attacks against his business in the other post. If a lawyer thinks it is impairing his business he might be untitled to ask you for huge compensations for his (potential) losses.
I would be you, I'll remove both posts and in the future when interviewing clearly ask writen authorization to publish (if you have not done so) "press inquiry" does not authorize you to publish you must ask in writting and have written approval.
In addition it is not good publicity for your site and future business partners as this creates a 'legal' trail, I think, I let that up to you of course.
looks like he's learning a VALUABLE piece of advice about PR
way to go Tim, keep up the good work and don't hold back on the language either!
Welcome back, Zack. Neighbor's WiFi? Be nice or this one gets banned too. Remember the rules: You can say whatever you want about me, but leave the users alone.
We've had some cultural difference in the past. Here in the States, the most offensive thing about this post was the idea that he could pay me to remove an unflattering article. That is just about the most offensive thing anyone could do to me.
Unlike your fucking tantrum to Retronyms, when you were begging them to give you IAPs, I set me sell out rate pretty steep. $300,000 is a bargain.
Bad apps, bad prices, bad dude. I own one of these terrible icontrolMIDI apps, I'm embarrassed to say. I even left a review of the app in the appstore only to have it mesteriously disappear a day later. Reporting on a total sleaze acting sleazy isn't nessecarily sensationalism, and it certainly doesn't "discredit the entire iOS community"
Love the picture!
Sorry re-posting not sure it worked.
I would be cautious. Anything you post public can be used against you (especially this private matter and the mini 'interview' from the other post). You seemed to have upset the developer and you do not know what his business is worth or how much money his has on his bank account, and what he is ready to do against you to get reparation if he thinks you are harming his business.

Hilarious stuff! Keep us updated haha!
Well I do not think there is anything hilarious here, this is a serious matter. Just adding that there is no 'bribery' as he is offering to pay for a service, not to pay for nothing or getting the service for free. Also valuating your business in public can be used against you as his lawyer can 'gauge' what you are worth. I think you made couple of legal mistakes here.
Sorry for the typos, typing on an iPad; need to go now.
I love this! I appreciate your authenticity and your opinions matter to me. Keep it up and don't ever change!!!
Hey "Law", you're clearly not a lawyer and therefore you should keep your advice to yourself.
"untitled to ask"
"to publish you must ask in writing"
@Law, is your last name 'Yer' by any chance?
can you quote the hatred and attacks that you allege Tim posted?
I think Law's iPad is malfunctioning. I tried to type "hatered" on mine and it was automatically corrected..
Maybe he's disabled that function
...or maybe he's just lying.
I think Law raises a good point about public valuation vs damages. Just to be clear, I was joking... $300,000 vs $300 he offered.
I've often wanted a lawyer for a friend. We would have many zany adventures.
For public valuation, it doesn't matter what you think the site is worth -- it's how much damage you've done to his business. Right now, he's apparently not making enough to cover the $99/year fees that Apple charges to be in the app store (otherwise, it would make sense to simply let the apps sit in the store, and collect whatever the income is, minus the $99 -- it's free money, if there's any money coming in).
So the business damage could be $99 a year, but I suspect that it's actually less than that. I'd like to meet the lawyer that would take you to court for a potential share of that $99. Of course, the chance that they'd be able to get the $99 seems pretty slim -- journalists sometimes print stuff that people say or write, and there's no requirement that it be flattering.
Maybe this guy is going through a lot of painful things right now. Who knows. Maybe he needs more love not more anger. Can we just assume he is all there and not in need of help?
That fellow Michael is a real asshole! Oops, sorry for the naughty language! Dear me, I meant a**hole, of course.
Seriously, that was an awful response, and though I have sense of you as a pretty tough-skinned fellow, that kind of arrogant posturing and condescension must have stung, especially after making a professional query and asking a reasonable question.
Fuck him!
I'm not a lawyer, but I was in publishing for a long time, and that quid pro quo does seem to be a bribe. It is certainly unethical.
Thanks for the time and effort you've put into this site.
The dude would've done better just to say he was sorry...
Keep at it, T.W.
Loving it - spicing things up a little with an old fashioned internet takedown. His apps are crap that anyone can whip out on a mediocre midi/osc design app in 10min and get a better result. I did exactly that with Midi Designer Pro and my Meeblip.
People are going to be asking him why he has a giant imprint of the internet on his face....
Great to see some morals out there in Internet land! Maximum respect for not just pocketing the money and capitulating.
Fight the power!
Tim's site is a as good as they get. It is my main source for Apps for IOS.
This is the first post where someone has anything to be embarrassed about, and it is not Tim...
I like the language here because it's the way my friends and I talk. It's funny, informative, and takes no shit. +1 for a non-condescending site.
Keep up the good work Tim. Love the site and keep blowing that whistle it may be harsh to some ears but its true.
Webb, keep my name off your pages
I do not wish to be connected in anyway with you
You need to consider what your aim is
To help devs sell apps or
To entertain people with your crass comments
Believe it or not, many people will see your language and get put off and leave with a bad impression of the app world
Say what you like but it's true
I am addressing you directly, not the 100 people that view your blog per week
If you have a problem with me, talk to me directly, don't trash me in public
For the record, you are doing a grand job of embarrassing yourself right now
What if that dev could take you to court? I doubt your dog walking wages can cover enough to counter him
And I'd say he has more on you than him
Be careful in public dealings, that's what my own lawyer says anyhow
Bad language is terrible. No, I'm not talking about the medieval concept of profanity, but about bad grammar, awful punctuation and poor spelling, and I see none of that here, except in the occasional comment, like the one above.
Hey tea flax
It was not an essay thus didn't need to be perfect
Feel free to edit
My concept of profanity may be medieval but lol
I'm not exposing the public and children to degraded gangsta rap
language, behaviour and ethics
The world is a mess, why use rude words? Of course culture is such that bad is good, healthy is sick and women are named after garden tools
So, tell me flax, just what are you going to do to turn the above discussion into one that helps people instead of making a bad show even more degraded? Or I guess it doesn't matter what language we use, we can use foul language as long as we use good grammar and punctuation?
So, what time will you walk the dogs today then?
I'm guessing zaxis doesn't understand the meaning of the word "hypocrite."
Here's my evidence
Why does such a negative article attract a vastly larger amount of comments than a positive one praising an app?
Pigs like dirt:)
I think this is not a site to help devs sell apps, but more to educate and inform the consumers. I'm a professional musician who has adopted iOS music into my workflow and I've found this site to be invaluable. I doubt I'd ever see a review quite as harsh as some of Discchord's in major print media such as Mix or Electronic Musician, not because of higher standards, but for fear of ruffling feathers and losing advertising dollars. I appreciate when this site writes an honest opinion much more than a "professional" review in major magazine. The language and tone can be a bit salty, but I enjoy it and regularly find myself laughing at the outrageously presented, yet strongly supported, opinions. Discchord is one of my favorites sites, both for the wealth of iOS info and for the unfiltered approach. I'm more than glad to attach my name and site to this post to show my support for a great site
God what a fucking tool.
Keep up the good work Tim!
Can someone help me with this "dog walking" reference? Is that an american put down that us brits don't get? I get the concept but it's just not funny/clever, unless there is some cool reference that I am missing...
I have no idea who you are zaxis, but I guess you have a blog or site centered around IOS music apps? I wouldn't mind checking it out - what is the name of it? (not sarcastic, genuinely interested as there are not that many such sites).
If we can't use expletives, at least let us say it with art instead?
Excellent blog Tim. You're doing good mate. Keep up the good work :)
Hey Webb
Quick question: you said if I attack your 'readers' that you will block me
I see your 'readers' are attacking me! I am a guest who is passing through and have been 'insulted repeatedly '
So are you going to block them? Or is it ok for them to attack me as they are defending you?
Very interested to hear your conclusions..
Fair question, Zaxis. You were banned (both times) for spoofing other readers' names; in addition to disparaging the reputations of respected members of the iOS Music community. If anyone starts to post under your name I won't tolerate that either.
Now maybe you can answer my question, that I've now asked you twice via email? Why have you decided you are my Arch Nemesis? We were buddy buddy up until about 4 months ago. I really appreciated the help you had given me in getting in touch with some developers, and bringing apps like TC-11 to my attention. Then you started flipping out on me here and elsewhere a couple of months ago and I have zero clue as to why. The only thing I can think of was that you really like Sketch Synth 3D, and got me a copy to play with, but I didn't like it so it got a Pass. I can't imagine why you'd take offense to that though, so I'd love to hear what set you against me.
Never recieved emails, must be filtered
This is a public forum but I have been told things by another blogger and two devs concerning you 'meddling ' in my affairs
Admit or deny as you like but I don't appreciate being messed with
I am ruthlessly independent and totally don't like the conduct on some blogs and in the comments section. Call me Wierd but I have principles and I absolutely hate people using the F word publicly . I especially don't want to read it in relation to apps.
As far as I see, all iOS bloggers go behind each others backs and this is horrible .
It may well be that I myself stop blogging and just focus on other areas of interest.
The iOS app world is about to go much bigger with ios6 and audiobus etc so why make it look low class with bad language and open dissing/ exposures etc?
I would say that it is not just I that dissaproves of your style and that anything you say in confidence may well not be so confidential at all...
All the best but just leave me alone and consider the above if you will
The way we act in public is strutinised and affects business and relationships
Oh, btw - how exactly did I disparage the reputation of a 'respected member' of the iOS community?
Respected by whom and how many? Ten, twenty people?
Lol, after all, we are in the minority- remember what propellorhead said??
Hence my concern
Alright, dude. All the best!
zaxis seems to feel ios developers are beyond reproach. If any business person treats a customer rudely, they have to deal with the consequences of their words being spread to the public. Tim reports on ios apps. Why would he not report on a developer who treated him rudely?
The above developer's threats of legal action are comical, to say the least. Granted, anyone can sue anyone for anything. As long as Tim reported the truth, which is simple to prove, no laws were broken.
Anyone want to tell me what blog the guy runs? Am kinda interested. Especially now he has set himself up as a bastion of mortality standards. Curiosity... It kills cats.... I should be fine
It's okay, found it via the power of google!
Looks okay. Fantastic rant relating to this in his news section! Lol.
He genuinely wants to promote gentlemanly behaviour. On the internet. All power to him but I am sure that ship sailed in the 90s...
Oh my... That blog is hilarious. zaxis takes as much time bashing other bloggers as he does talking about apps. No wonder he worries so much about what is posted here.
It's worth reading his rant regarding audiobus on his blog which would appear to be his source of his discontent somehow being vented here in a completely separate discussion. Wingnut is a good description.
His blog is okay but heavy on the ass kissing and low on the humour. Lots of music app info though, which I applaud.
I am sorry for my comments above.
[Tim: This was not posted by Zaxis. Please don't abuse the anonymous posting system. Spoofing other people's names will result in a permanent ban from the whole site. I'm dealing with this one privately since it was well intended.]
And he is calling Tim "bipolar" !?
Blimey! You go on holiday for a few days, and come home to find the place on fire, due to a leaky gas pipe. Oh no, all my Shakatak albums up in smoke....OK, stretched that metaphor a tad thin there.
What a strange set of events that have to led to this, and all within a few days.
I really want to make a comment about this, and make comments about what others have said on this (and the other) thread, but it seems that if I do, a hundred lawyers are poised to take me to the cleaners, and sell my remaining record collection to someone who will only buy them to melt into 'retro, novelty' ashtrays. I'm going to have to move on now, as I can't see to type, through the haze of tears.
Keep up the good work, Tim - I'm proud to be here, and very much appreciate all the hard work you put into the site.
P.s. One law that people should be aware of, in this country anyway, is the
'Malicious Communication Act 1988'. It's a good job my team of lawyers were on hand to bring it to my attention, otherwise I would have certainly said something that caused someone offence. Well, why give up the habit of a lifetime?
Repeat after me: "Ignore the people who deserve to be ignored".
P.p.s. thank you to everyone for the Birthday wishes, I had many drinks in your honour.

All Hail The Single MotherAllana Harkin
"How do single mothers do it?!"
Every parent who has the benefit of a reliable co-parent asks themselves this question at one time or another. As you move through your day attempting work, laundry, dinner and wiping unidentifiable goo off of things while the phone rings nonstop and the baby cleverly learns how to release herself from her highchair straps, you may think to yourself, "what would I do right now if I had to do this alone?"
I remember a time when I had to find the match to 75 rogue mini socks. It took me HOURS. My husband who dutifully took care of the children had to toss me power bars to ensure my survival. I was grateful for his support and even more thankful that he also put the children to bed, which is the most joyful, thoughtful thing anyone can ever do for me, thus allowing me to watch "Grey's Anatomy", further allowing me to contemplate the fact that if I ever saw one of those doctors coming near me in a hospital I would run for my life. Whatever. I was happy for the break.
And then life decided to throw me a curve ball. These past few months my husband was M.I.A because of a new job that took him away for the better part of the summer. I, being someone who never shies away from a challenge, looked at it as an opportunity for me to bond with my girls and get to know them on a 24/7 in your face at all times, "Momma can I come to the bathroom with you" kind of way. This will be a fruitful and enlightening experience for all of us! Plus I play a single mother on the Nick Jr. show "Dino Dan". What a great research opportunity for me to discover the true pleasures of single parenting. Also, I had no choice.
I've never been more dirty or frazzled. I swear by 8:30pm each night I looked like feral cat. One night I ate a rotisserie chicken standing over the sink. The whole chicken, down to the bone, possibly including some of the tinier bones. I also might have been crying. Scratch that. I was definitely crying.
In order to overcompensate for their dad being away I spent the better part of the summer driving across Ontario to fun destinations. On one of our last trips to visit my parents, my father took me aside to inquire about the back seat of my car. It looked like we were living in it and he was worried. I finally had to admit my soothing "travel technique" for the children was opening up boxes of dry goods and throwing food at them. On a particularly bad trip I stopped for Jugo juices and just handed them to the kids, who are four and one. No transferring the beverages into sippy cups, just full on trust in their motor skills. Within 40 seconds they were both drenched in "Berry Binge". I didn't care, I just kept on driving.
But for the most part I really held it together. Oh, except for that one time after a particularly long stretch of solo parenting where I leaned against the front door and flat out told my 4 year old that, "sometimes it's really hard to be a Mommy." I was truly shocked and impressed by her empathetic response as she put her hand on my arm and said "It's okay Momma." That was about 2 months ago and every so often she likes to say,
"Momma remember that time when you leaned on the door and said it was really hard to be a Momma?"
"Yes, sweetheart, can we let it go?"
"But remember when you said that? I told my teacher you said that and she looked kind of sad."
"Okay Honey, seriously, that's just something Momma said when she was very tired. I love being your Mommy."
"Yeah, that's what Emma's Mom said when I told her you said that."
Oh boy.
So when my husband finally arrived home from his job I greeted him like he had been in Afghanistan for 2 years – seriously HOW do army wives do it? My husband was just traveling around building playgrounds for God's sake. I can't imagine having to do all the child rearing AND dwell in the constant state of terror that my partner's life was on the line. Hats off ladies. There should be a special medal for you too. And it should have a lot of hearts and colors and pointy star things and stripes.
I know practice makes perfect but I'm pretty sure I'd be in training for 30 years to pull this solo parenting thing off. So if you know a single mother offer to carry her around on a throne for a few hours. And throw a single dad on there for good measure. Or even better, take their kids for five minutes so that they can pee alone for the first time in years. Trust me, it's the small miracles that count.

We provide here a necessary and sufficient operational condition for determining whether a given portfolio is efficient in the sense of second-degree stochastic Dominance (SSD). This condition also enables one to find a direction for improving on an inefficient portfolio, in the sense that all risk averse investors would weakly prefer that change in the portfolio composition. This condition can be applied among others to resolve questions that have long been posed in the literature, concerning on whether the portfolios that are promoted by portfolio managers are in fact efficient in the above sense.

In fact, Andy went home this morning to take Grace to school and I told him to get me some heavy cream while he was out.
The hospital food is decent and you'd all be pleased to know I've been able to stay fairly primal. Dinner last night was honey pecan chicken with steamed carrots and a fruit platter. For breakfast I had a cheese and veggie omelette with a side of fruit and milk. Not sure what I'll have for lunch today. The kitchen always seems surprised when I don't order more than 25g carbs at a meal. At dinner last night, they were like "and what else you want?" cuz my dinner was 50g carb and they wanted me to have 100. Andy told them I try to stay around 50g for the day and that dinner right there was a feast. They were rather impressed.

The day after Christmas is the third biggest shopping day of the year.
After Christmas shopping is expected to make up about 10 percent of holiday sales.
Millions of people across the country stormed the malls on Monday for those Mega Monday sales.
On Tuesday, retailers will be adding up those receipts. They're hoping the $469 billion holiday shopping bonanza is a sign of a weak economy getting back on the road to good health.
"It will definitely be a good sign if consumers are out there this shopping season. People are feeling good and out shopping," said Lori Wachs, the founder of Cross Ledge Investments.
Post holiday sales are stronger than retail analysts expected. With deeper discounts of 50 to 80 percent, they're hoping this week will be the gift that keeps on giving.
"If they waited for the day after Christmas, they would get some really terrific deals," Wachs said.
"We got really good deals. Everything was very well-priced.It was probably close to 90 percent off the sticker price," said Bonnie Leviere, a shopper.
Unfortunately, not everyone was out to shop on mega Monday. It was also a day of many unhappy returns.
"What's the worst thing you got for Christmas?" a reporter asked a group of shoppers.
"Ugly clothes," some people replied.
One shopper even showed an example.
"What is it?" the reporter asked.
"Some really ugly outfit," the shopper replied.
Shoppers are expected to return some $47 billion worth of gifts this year, up more than four percent from this time last year.
"There were some things that didn't fit. There's obviously some good deals too," one shopper said.
Those unwanted gifts are sometime too much trouble for stores to restock. So they're packaged up and sent in bulk to discount retailers like TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Ross, meaning some of the best bargains may still be weeks away.
"Some stores give you a hard time if you don't have a receipt," one shopper noted.
Shoppers returning items should be prepared to show an ID. Retailers like Best Buy and Target have cancelled their re-stocking fee. But they're checking IDs and tracking returns to prevent fraud.

NEW YORK — Two vital joints. Two foreboding surgeries. Two critical pieces for the Mets, should the team be interested in chasing a pennant this summer.The left elbow of Johan Santana, operated on last year, passed another test yesterday afternoon: Stitching together his third consecutive excellent outing, Santana buttressed the Mets through seven scoreless innings in a 3-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves in front of 36,402 fans at Citi Field.
The right knee of Carlos Beltran, operated on in January, will begin its most extensive examination soon: Beltran rejoined the club before yesterday's game and will retake the field after the All-Star break.
"I'm just happy to be back and be part of the team," Beltran said before the game. "Trying to help accomplish our mission: Trying to win the division and trying to be in the playoffs."
That goal remains in sight, despite a 2-4 homestand. Thanks to Santana, the Mets (48-40) finished the first half down four games in the National League East and still within striking distance of the Braves (52-36). Thanks to the hope Beltran provides, the team believes it can surpass its weekend foes.
"We're still in this thing," Mets manager Jerry Manuel said. "It almost feels like we get two players back. We get Johan — and Carlos."
In late June, there was worry about Santana. He allowed at least four runs in four straight starts. He could not throw strikes. There were murmurs about pitch-tipping and dead arm.
But Santana, his elbow free of the bone chips which bothered him last year, regrouped. He hid the cue that foretold opposing hitters of an impending change-up. He burst through his patch of shoulder fatigue. In his past three starts, he has surrendered a single run in 23 innings.
Yesterday afternoon, he remained elusive, despite allowing five hits and three walks. The Braves loaded the bases in the fourth, but Santana whiffed Braves starter Derek Lowe to escape. An Atlanta runner would not reach second base after that.
"I'm feeling good," Santana said. "We've just got to continue playing. I think everything will fall into place."
The final offensive cog arrived yesterday. On Thursday in San Francisco, Beltran will start in center field and bat cleanup. Angel Pagan, who surpassed All-Star third baseman David Wright as the team's leading hitter yesterday, will remain in the lineup and shift to right field. Jeff Francoeur will sit.
Manuel intends to iron out a rotation soon. He met with Francoeur yesterday and explained some of the strategy going forward. Francoeur expects to start against left-handed pitchers and on days when Beltran needs rest.
"You're not going to see me sitting there, sulking because I'm not going to play," Francoeur said.
"I'm going to be ready to go."
The rotation, of course, will depend on the stability of Beltran's knee. In mid-January, he underwent surgery to shave bone spurs. Beltran and his agent, Scott Boras, sniped with the Mets about the circumstances of the surgery. Either way, the procedure kept him off the field for all 88 games so far this year.
His journey back required patience. An examination in the spring prevented him from resuming baseball activities right away. As the summer approached, he played simulated games and felt improvement. On June 24, Beltran began a Class-A rehab assignment. Progress became steady.
Beltran lobbied the club to allow him to return for last Monday's game against Cincinnati. The organization told him to wait until after the break. "We're being cautious and conservative with him," general manager Omar Minaya said earlier this week.
That time has passed. The true test for Beltran will soon begin. A brace supports his knee during games. He feels pressure on the joint. He will ignore it.
"I'm ready to go outside and play the game the way it's supposed to be played," Beltran said. "It doesn't matter if I'm 80, 90, 100 percent."

Recreational vehicles provide much joy and entertainment to their owners. But to keep the fun going and their RV running smoothly, owners need to take the proper steps to maintain it.
RVs require a good amount of attention and a little extra maintenance. After all, caring for an RV is like maintaining both a motor vehicle as well as a home. But following a simple up keep routine after the end of each adventure will keep your motor home looking nice, feeling comfortable, and running fluently for your future excursions.
The last thing you want is to be stranded in the middle of nowhere because your battery died or because your engine overheated. To prevent this from happening make sure you take care of the engine and drive train of your motor home just as you would your favorite car.
Change the oil regularly, refill all fluids, keep the battery from corroding, and check the tire pressure. Remember that recreational vehicles are generally used for long road trip and rack up a lot more miles than the average car used daily, so don't be surprised if you find yourself changing the oil or doing other routine procedures much more often.
As far as the home part of the motor home is concerned, one of the most common problems that occur is moisture buildup. Moisture buildup resulting from shower and kitchen stove use causes staining and mildew issues. This can be avoided by always opening the roof vent and using the bathroom fan when showering.
It may be helpful to close all other doors, windows, and vents while showering to ensure that the moisture flows out of the roof vent. Also, avoid cooking or boiling water on the stove, especially in cold weather. Opt to use your microwave instead. If you must boil water on the stove, make sure the roof vent is open and possibly some other windows as well.
Like your permanent home, drains will get clogged and need to be clean out. The trap of the bathroom sink will need to be detached and cleaned out manually every other month while the shower drain can be blasted clean using the high pressure mode of your basic garden hose. Before storing your motor home away for the winter all water lines must be drained. If lines are not drained before storage and temperatures drop low enough, the remaining water may freeze, expand, and possibly burst the pipes or water lines.
If this happens repairs or replacements may be pricey, so it is more cost efficient to take preventative measures. Draining the water lines before winter includes disconnecting the ice maker and water feed lines, draining and flushing the hot water heater, and flushing the entire system with RV specific antifreeze.
Also, before storage remember to unplug all appliances and disconnect all batteries. This is important because some devices continue to use energy even when switched to the off mode. You will want all battery to be well charged so that you can take off on your next adventure without delays. Many people also cover their RVs in storage with tarps to protect it from ice and water damage. This will keep your motor home looking clean and new.
Probably one of the easiest and most important steps you can take to maintain your recreational vehicle is to give it a good cleaning after each trip. Make sure you leave no food that will spoil or attract rodents or bugs. Also remove all cans of liquid that might expand and explode with freezing temperatures. Cleaning the RV inside and out after every trip will help you get on your way in comfort the next time you want to travel.
Your motor home can provide you many happy years of outdoor fun and adventure as long as you take the time to keep it in shape.

When Jonathan Demme, Tom Hanks and others got up at City Hall last Thursday to formally announce filming of "Philadelphia," the scene was a mix of media frenzy, political pronouncements and gasps of delight from curious onlookers.
The movie they'll film for the next four months, according to the movie producers, is about a gay lawyer who is fired when his firm learns of his acquired immune deficiency syndrome. It's the first major Hollywood production about AIDS.
At the back of the room, away from the glaring lights, a man listened, shook his head and wiped an eye.

The most interesting thing about August Wilson's curiously titled "Radio Golf" is that it is set in 1997, when the black characters don't need any help from The Man exploiting their people. They're doing fine on their own.
In Wilson's 10-play cycle of African-American life in the 20th century, all but one ("Ma Rainey's Black Bottom") are set in Pittsburgh's Hill District, a raffish refuge for poor black people that has steadily declined over the years. In "Radio Golf, " the past confronts the present as real estate entrepreneurs scramble to pull down what's left of their own history to build a high-rise apartment complex.
Harmond Wilks, a rogue of a Realtor whose family has run roughshod over the neighborhood for generations, sees big money within his grasp. Once the area is declared blighted, federal and state funds will help him clinch the deal. Urging him on is Mamie, his bossy wife, who is also goading him into politics, envisioning him as a shoo-in for first black mayor in a city "where it takes six months to get a streetlight fixed."
Wilks' friend Roosevelt Hicks, a partner in the development, is on his own fast track, including his career as a bank vice president and part-owner of a radio station and membership in a country club, where both men can fantasize about being Tiger Woods. Hicks even gives himself his own show, "Radio Golf." That they are taking on white pastimes and corruption doesn't occur to them, nor does the fact that the shadowy figures pulling their strings can just as easily cut them. Their greed blinds them to just about everything.
Ah, but into their office walk two simple, honest men: Sterling Johnson, a self-employed contractor looking for work and sniffing chicanery; and Elder Joseph Barlow, who claims to own a key piece of property that is part of their land grab. In real life, Barlow would be kicked to the curb or conveniently disappear. But in Wilson's world, Wilks has just enough decency left to hear the old man out, investigate his title, and be drawn into the mythic history of the house, longtime home to the legendary Aunt Ester, keeper of the African flame.
The many elements of Wilson's play have not been as skillfully pulled together as they might have been, a case in point the humor inherent in the situation. Director Anthony Bean could also do a better job of pointing up local similarities to the shady shenanigans, but seems more interested in the melodramatic content.
Wilbert Williams, as Wilks, is a marvel of shifting, outsized, quicksilver emotions, while Donald Lewis, as his partner-in-crime, realizes both the cruel and comedic possibilities of his role. Harold X. Evans is stalwart in Barlow's insistence that right is right and "You can't be nobody but what you are."
His opposite is Gwen Foxworth, all too believable as the ambitious, avaricious Mamie, with a Miss Diana Ross costume change for every scene, a Cleopatra coiffure and a Medusa demeanor when she's crossed. Lionel B. Jackson, new to acting, has a natural cool as Sterling.
Chad Talkington's set is reminiscent of the office locale for "The Papaya Man, " technical direction was none too attentive at Sunday's matinee, and the play is long at 2½ hours.
Wilson lived to see "Radio Golf" staged, but died before it reached Broadway. Thin by his standards, one wonders what it might have become had he shepherded it home.
What: August Wilson's play, directed by Anthony Bean.
Where: Anthony Bean Community Theater, 1333 S. Carrollton Ave.
When: Performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8, Sundays at 3 through Oct. 5. Oct. 5 show at 8 only.

Laughable. That's how I see the Santa Clarita City Council, at least on the MRF issue.
Not only do the members contradict each other, they contradict themselves from one sentence to another.
At a recent meeting, out of the nine items on the consent calendar, the only one needing to be addressed was the MRF-site selection committee.
The requests-to-speak forms were for that topic only, with an overwhelming voice telling the council to keep the MRF within the city's limits.
Residents from Val Verde and Castaic told the council in no uncertain terms that we are not going to accept the MRF in our area.
Don't make your responsibility our burden.
Castaic-area residents are a unique lot of folk. We are relaxed, easy going, friendlier than most, but we aren't pushovers. We are organized and can be political when we need to be.
What we have shown in dealing with the yet-to-be-built high school is that we can turn out in droves, we are passionate and we don't give up. You bet you can expect the same passionate response on the MRF issue.
Councilwoman Laurie Ender asked the question: If we build the MRF inside the city, can we then limit the intake of materials to only city residents?
My response to that, had I been able to speak again, (comment period was over) would have been, and is now: If you do that, you would need to find a place to take your trash!
Since the landfill is outside your city limits, sharing goes both ways.
We take your trash; you take our recyclables - which, by the way, you would make money from. Give me a break.
The council as a whole seems to think in valleywide terms only when they want to dump something somewhere, but not at any other time.
Council, look elsewhere. Castaic and Val Verde are closed.

I am looking at a motor to put into a full size chevy truck that will be used as a daily driver and to tow a enclosed trailer each weekend. I found a 383 that has a 224/232 duration .523 lift and 114 lobe center angle. The motor would use a vortec head with the stock CSFI injection system. The compression should be around 9.5 (was 10.1 with 305 heads that are on it). Would this cam work well in this application? Low end torque is my biggest concern.
Any suggestions if this is not a good choice?

Breakfast links: Can Metro work with others?
by David Alpert on Feb 11, 2011 9:30 am • link • report
Is there a problem with private organizations doing the construction in that case? I realize it's unreliable, but if it means better access to metro I don't see the problem.
I think the RTSP plan is great, but the reason we have the Silver line run by VA and the Purple line run by MD and the Streetcar system being built by DC is because Metro had largely devolved these kinds of planning activities to their constituent jurisdictions.
That's not necessarily a bad thing - the locally planned projects are quite promising - but it doesn't stop the need for coordination.
Regarding the bill for an elected DA: it is probably a good idea, but since she fumbled getting DC true representation, it is hard to take her seriously. And since she has no vote, what are the chances of getting this passed in the republican House?
Who is going to pay for it?
They were taking about this on the news recently and some people made a big deal about it hurting their bottom line etc. I am not sure how ten cents gallon, perhaps an extra buck a week is a huge deal.
Now what could be a big deal is since gas prices are linked to the cost of everything, will we see prices overall go up.
Another valid point is should people who live in say the Eastern shore pay for a metro line they will never use? Or does the fact that wealthy counties like Montgomery alreay pay more in taxes then they get back make it fair?
hmm... must be because there's no demand for rail travel...
And should people who live in Baltimore pay for highways to the Eastern shore they will never use? Everyone pays some taxes for things they don't use, that doesn't make the whole system unfair.
Certainly the decision by ANC6B to abandon its defacto liquor license moratorium will help. Two restaurants the lame duck ANC voted to protest in November for no good reason except they did not want any new liquor licenses on Barracks Row won ANC support in February, and with that, the threat of a defacto moratorium ended.
Good news!
EHN sits in Congress, therefore she is a Congresswoman. She's not a Representative however.
Yep. Also, we ALL pay for things we never use. I'm very unlikely to ever use a rural Interstate highway ramp in Wyoming, but money from the central highway coffers pays for it because nonetheless it's useful to someone, even if that someone doesn't happen to be me.
Why were they discontinued? This was a terrible scandal.
General Motors pressured DC and a number of other American cities to get rid of their streetcars so they could be replaced with GM's smelly buses. (The Clean Air Act which forced buses, cars and trucks to reduce the pollution from their tailpipes was not enacted into law until the 1970s.)
Nor was the decision to end streetcars in DC the will of the people. The Home Rule government did not start in DC until 1973. When the streetcars were discontinued in 1962, we had no Mayor and no City Council. DC was nominally run by 3 Commissioners appointed by the President; but the real power in those days was John McMillan, the Chair of the House District Committee and a dedicated segregationist.
I'd love to hear stories from other people who remember the DC streetcars.
Her proposal should be recognized for the cheap stunt (and fiscally disastrous policy) that it is. One thing that DC shouldn't sneer at is a federal-government-provided office that saves the District tens of millions of dollars annually -- money that is therefore freed up for schools, social services, and other worthy projects.

NILES - No matter where life takes him, Scott Erickson is still haunted by the night of Oct. 9, 1996.
"Yeah I remember it and I can't forget it," the former big league pitcher said. "That kid cost me a win."
We'll get to "that kid" in a minute.
Erickson was starting on the mound in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series in Yankee Stadium. A right-handed pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles, he threw 6 innings allowing two earned runs on seven hits. He struck out three batters, threw 97 pitches and was pulled with a 4-2 lead.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, Armando Benetiz delivered a fastball to Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter.
Erickson will take it from here...
"Jeter hit a fly ball down the right field line. (Tony) Tarasco was camped under it for the out. Then, someone reaches over the fence on top of him and grabs it. Jeffrey-something. That's all I need to remember about that kid.
"(Umpire Rich) Garcia calls it a home run and the next day he's signing autographs in New York."
In the 11th inning, Bernie Williams hit a walk-off home run, giving the Yankees momentum to win the series in four games before beating the Atlanta Braves in the World Series.
Jeffrey Maier, 11 years old at the time, who caught the Jeter home run ball, is as much a piece of infamous baseball history as Bill Buckner before him and Steve Bartman proceeding him.
Erickson, the new Mahoning Valley Scrappers pitching coach, has much more fond memories of his 16-year MLB career.
In 1991, he was an All-Star with the Minnesota Twins and finished second in the Cy Young voting after winning a World Series. On April 27, 1994 he pitched a no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers.
He even witnessed Cal Ripken Jr.'s historic streak of 2,632 games come to an end in 1998.
"It's hard for a pitcher to make just 35 starts in a row year-after-year," Erickson said. "It's tough. For him to do it every day for over 2,000 games is nothing short of amazing. That season was pretty cool. Baltimore loves Cal."
Erickson, a Long Beach, Calif. native, played for the Twins, Orioles, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Dodgers and Yankees before retiring in 2006. He tallied an overall record of 142-136 and finished with a 4.59 ERA with 1,252 strikeouts.
"Most of them in the clubhouse are so young they never even saw me play," Erickson said. "They do their research and know that I did pitch a little bit. They'll kind of believe me sometimes."
Last year, he got his first coaching job with the Carolina Mudcats, the Class-A Advanced affiliate of the Cleveland Indians. His college catcher at the University of Arizona was hired by the organization as a roving hitting instructor and helped Erickson get hired, too.
For the past five years, Erickson participated in winter festivals for his former major league teams and ran charity golf tournaments.
"My golf game wasn't getting better so I figured I needed to get back into something I do know, which is baseball, so its good," he said. "It's nice giving a little bit back to the game. The guys are very hard-working, they're fun to be around and its rejuvinating a bit."
Erickson is married to Lisa Guerrero, a former reporter for Fox Sports, Monday Night Football and Inside Edition. Erickson even has experience in show business. He founded a production company and was executive producer for a 2008 movie called "A Plumm Summer," which starred Guerrero alongside Henry Winkler.
For now, though, he's back to baseball and enjoying every minute of it.
"I don't have any children, so this is like adopting 20 kids all of a sudden," Erickson said. "Coming out here and having a good time - I enjoy it."

Longtime vendors return to Balloon Fiesta
Many area vendors skipped 2012 fiesta because of fee dispute
After a controversy pertaining to fees in 2012, longtime Balloon Fiesta vendors are returning to the event after missing it this past year.
Several area vendors were up in arms when the fees went up. Some said they couldn't afford it. Others felt the fees shouldn't have been changed in the first place.
Now vendors and the concession company have come to a compromise.
Mario's Pizza, for example, was a 20-year mainstay at the event. The business didn't come to the fiesta in 2012, but is back this year.
A new flat fee brought Mario's and other vendors back.
Pizza and breakfast burritos aside, cinnamon rolls are expected to be a popular item.
All that's left is the countdown, and vendors are preparing for Saturday's crowds.
Dawn patrol starts just before 6 a.m. Saturday.

on December 2, 2010 - 12:01 AM
It was a typical Saturday in early November in Buffalo: chilly temperatures, transient sunshine and people gathering to support a fantastic cause.
The host of the Power Puff football game, the Western New York Girls' Schools Coalition: Project Educate (formerly known as the Afghanistan Coalition), raised just over $2,000. The money will be sent directly to the Circle of Women, a nonprofit organization at Harvard University that helps build schools for girls in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The coalition, initiated in 2002, includes representatives from Nardin Academy, Buffalo Seminary, Sacred Heart Academy and Holy Angels Academy.
Last year, the coalition's primary event was a fashion show, but this year, says co-director Aileen Comer, "We wanted to try something new. We love the all-girls camaraderie at our schools, and we wouldn't have it any other way. But there are certain high school traditions that we miss out on, like homecoming ...
"We thought that it was time to create this experience [powder puff football] for our school communities, raising awareness for an amazing cause in the process."
For weeks, representatives from each of the schools in the coalition chose teams, held practices, planned and designed uniforms.
When the day finally arrived, the 22 teams of girls proudly showed their spirit. Decked-out in vibrant outfits, (for example, pajamas, "Rosie the Riveter" outfits, and even a full-out bull costume), everyone was ready for the thrill of competition. But amidst all the chaos, the spirit of the event was present. With each snap of the ball, the players carried with them the remembrance of why they were playing.
"We were all coming together for such a great cause," says Alanna Downing, secretary of the coalition. "Although our event was first called 'Powder Puff,' in the end we knew 'Power Puff' was a more appropriate title because we were all collaborating to empower women across the world."
Christina Seminara is a sophomore at Nardin Academy.

David and Victoria Beckham brought a group to L.A.'s Sunset Marquis Hotel's Bar 1200. The couple stuck together at the bar, and Posh looked chic in her fitted blazer (with nothing underneath). The group only stayed at the bar for a bit, moving their festivities into a nearby room or villa. Meanwhile, rocker Dave Grohl was celebrating his wife Jordyn's birthday at the bar – the spot where they first met years ago – with their friends, some tequila and air drumming sessions.
Talk about some A-list musical guests! After their concert in London, the Black Eyed Peas threw a Bacardi-sponsored afterparty at indigO2 – and they were joined on stage by Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. The actor performed a duet with will.i.am called "Someday," from his upcoming movie Knight and Day, while his wife salsa danced with Fergie. "It was unreal," a source says. "Everyone was going crazy." Later in the evening, the actors got cozy on the dancefloor. "They were all over each other," the source says, "giggling and dancing all night."
Matt Lauer and wife Annette were spotted having a double date at Le Caprice, the restaurant inside New York's Pierre Hotel. The two couples were deep in conversation throughout the night, sharing bites of their entrees and enjoying some wine. According to a source, the Today show host was especially in high spirits.
After sunning themselves on a daybed and swilling poolside mojitos at Las Vegas's Tao Beach's Memorial Day bash, Mark Ballas had a late-night dinner at Lavo with Ashley Roberts – and the cozy couple wasn't alone. The Dancing with the Stars pro's dad, Corky, shared the meal with them. After dinner, Corky showed off some tango moves in the dining room before the three headed over to the nightclub. Across the way, Forest Whitaker was dining with wife Keisha and a producer friend. The trio was greeted at one point during their meal by Stacy Keibler, who came to say hello.
Also in Sin City: Jenna Jameson and hubby Tito Ortiz, who were spotted at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, where they took in the UFC afterparty at Vanity nightclub.

Splitting [in German Spaltung] is a key psychoanalytic concept in the work of Melanie Klein and her followers, building upon certain recognitions in Freud. It is related to the terms Projection and Introjection and refers to the infant.s defensive response to anxiety which divides whole objects (such as the mother.s body) into good and bad part-objects (e.g. the good breast, the bad breast) which are then treated as if they were not part of an original whole. This early prototype of the good and bad (the helpful and gratifying versus the annihilating and persecutory) then becomes a …

I wrote today about a trend that has been hard to ignore through two games -- Auburn's success in the final minutes before the half.
Here's how the story starts...
AUBURN -- With the clock ticking toward halftime, Gene Chizik could have told offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn to have his quarterback take a knee or run it up the gut.
Instead, in each of Auburn's first two games, Chizik let the offense keep churning.
The results have been fruitful. Auburn picked up a crucial late field goal before halftime in the opener against Louisiana Tech and scored two touchdowns in the final minutes of the second quarter Saturday against Mississippi State.
Read the rest here.
We'll be back in a few hours with updates from Chizik's weekly press conference. Plus, look for a live chat on Wednesday.
