Spencer Whittaker will join Mitchell teammate Chris Schalles at the Blue-Grey National Super Football Combine in Canton, Ohio, at the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
Whittaker plays quarterback and cornerback for the Mustangs.
In 2010, Whittaker intercepted two passes and made 12 tackles. Offensively, he carried the ball eight times for 35 yards.
Whittaker was selected for the national combine after a standout performance at a regional Blue-Grey Combine at Raymond James Stadium. The best performers at the Canton national combine will be invited back for a nationally televised all-star game in January.
From the North Suncoast, Mitchell's Whittaker and Schalles have been picked for the Canton combine along with Gulf's Jeff Kruse.

Torque converter identification
Hello. I have a torque converter out of a TH400 transmission that came with a sbc that is suppose to have like 450 HP. I was told that the converter has a 2,000 or better RPM stall. The markings on it are AC 1420 and C 85. Does anyone know what these marking mean? Thank you.

Here are a couple of pictures of the converter ---- I hope.
That is not GM OEM converter. That is a custom converter. Unless you can find out who made it, you are not likely to find any answers.
Art Carr or ACCPerformance are 2 guesses but, both paint theirs Black.
The 14020 Number does resemble an old Art Carr part # tho'. He sold his Co. named Art Carr & it's now out of business. I think they did use Blue paint.
Art's new Co. is CPT = http://www.cpttransmission.com/
Looks like a 12 inch, Built & sold by "A.C.T. Automatics" They might be on the internet? All the part # I ordered come with AC in the beginning of the part #. Yours looks like one of their 12 inch, stalls at about 2500 with a 400 ft # torque engine.
Lock up converter?
1 Attachment(s)
Judging by the shape of the converter housing (flexplate side) would you think that this is a lockup converter or not?
thats a smaller converter judging by the pic...the outer bolt holes looks to bolt up to a 13''converter 400 flywheel...inners to a 12''converter 350 flywheel...and even those 350 holes are allmost out of the converter circumference...and with your hand as a reference to converter size....i'll take door #3 and call that an 11'' converter.

Partnering with clients to provide on-demand contract lawyers, giving in-house legal teams the confidence to be agile.
On Friday 1 June, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer, the Hon Bernie Ripoll MP, announced the release of the second tranche exposure draft of the Personal Liability for Corporate Fault Reform Bill 2012 (Liability Reform Bill). This release is the next step in the Government's response to the Directors' Liability Reform Project, a Council of Australian Governments (COAG) initiative. In this Alert, we look at the amendments proposed in the second tranche exposure draft, and the Government's timetable for introduction of a consolidated Bill to effect the legislative reforms.
An exposure draft of proposed amendments to non-tax legislation within the Treasury portfolio was released in January 2012 for public comment. For a summary of the amendments proposed in that exposure draft (and the COAG principles for legislative review), please see our Alert "Draft bill first step in reforming personal liability for corporate fault". This tranche relates to Commonwealth legislation other than Treasury legislation.
The Liability Reform Bill proposes amendments to the pieces of Commonwealth legislation listed below.
This Act provides for special temporary measures for protection of children living in Northern Territory indigenous communities from exposure to prohibited material, including sexually explicit and violent material (Part 10). If a body corporate breaches these measures, section 104 imposes liability on body corporate managers, subject to a defence that they did not know of the circumstances constituting the offence or took all reasonable steps to prevent its being committed. The Liability Reform Bill retains personal liability, given the seriousness of the offence; but transfers the burden of proving all the elements of the offence onto the prosecution, having added the following elements to the offence:
Part 10 ceases to have effect on 18 August 2012, due to a sunset clause (section 115). However, the amendment clarifies the application of derivative liability if the operation of the Part is extended by future reforms.
The exposure draft of the first tranche of the Liability Reform Bill proposed various amendments to section 188 of the Corporations Act, and related provisions imposing personal liability for breach of the administrative and reporting requirements on the company secretary. Relevantly, the effect of the amendments was to make breach of the requirements of section 188(1) a civil penalty provision, rather than a criminal offence. The second tranche exposure draft proposes amendments that will bring this Act into line with the proposed amendments to the Corporations Act.
It is an offence under section 129AA of this Act for a private hospital proprietor to offer, or accept, a bribe for a patient to be admitted to the hospital under specified circumstances. If the corporation has committed an offence, section 129AA(2) makes an officer of a corporation guilty of an offence. (This includes, but is not limited to an officer that wilfully authorises or permits the offence to be committed.)
The Liability Reform Bill will abolish personal liability of officers for a contravention of this section by a corporation, as it is inconsistent with the COAG principles.
Sections 23DZZIQ-23DZZIS impose offences relating to bribery or threats that would prevent fair competition between providers of pathology and diagnostic imagery services. The sections were introduced following industry consultation that concludes regulation without personal liability was ineffective as a way of preventing anticompetitive practices. Section 23DZZIT provides that an executive officer (defined as a person who is concerned in, or takes part in, the management of the body, whether or not they are called a director) commits an offence against those sections if:
The Liability Reform Bill will insert notes to make it clear that personal liability will apply.
An executive officer (defined as a person who is concerned in, or takes part in, the management of the body, whether or not they are called a director) commits an offence under section 54B of this Act if:
Consequently, there are a large number of offences under the Act subject to personal liability. The explanatory material for the second tranche exposure draft argues that the retention of personal liability for offences at the upper levels of seriousness is justified on public policy grounds, given the Act's fundamental role in regulating the supply of healthcare to the Australian public. However, personal liability will generally be removed for offences at the lower levels of seriousness. The Liability Reform Bill will also remove blanket application of personal liability, inserting a new section 54BA to clarify that only prescribed provisions are subject to personal liability. This means that if new offences are introduced into the Act, a positive policy decision will be necessary for personal liability to apply to the executive officers of a body corporate.
Sections 93D and 93E of this Act impose liability on directors and other company officers for bribery and other anticompetitive behaviour in relation to the provision of pathology and other medical services where a corporation is 'in default'. The term 'in default' is defined to include accessorial liability. The Liability Reform Bill will, for greater certainty, expressly restrict the application of personal liability to circumstances where the officer intentionally authorised or permitted the offence to be committed.
The types of offences under this Act relate to a registered training organisation failing to meet its duties or acting outside the scope of its registration. If an organisation commits an offence under the Act, section 133 of this Act imposes personal liability for executive officers if the officer:
The relevant offences under the Act were introduced to address activities in the market for international students, that were designed to subvert immigration laws. The explanatory material for the second tranche exposure draft argues that the retention of personal liability for these offences is justified because confining penalties to corporations would be ineffective (as companies may use liquidation to thwart prosecution). However, the Bill will insert notes into the relevant offence provisions to clarify its application.
Under section 19G of this Act, personal liability extends to directors of a company where the company has performed the physical elements of an offence under the Act (as well as to other officers in more narrow circumstances). The Liability Reform Bill will repeal section 19G, on the basis that there are more effective mechanisms for the regulation of trade measurement in other Commonwealth legislation, that remove any public policy justification for the retention of personal liability in this Act.
Interested parties are invited to comment on the consultation papers by 29 June 2012. If you would like your views on the Liability Reform Bill to be communicated to Treasury, please speak to any of the contacts listed for this Alert.The explanatory material released with the second tranche exposure draft notes that the Government intends to introduce a consolidated Liability Reform Bill, composed of the amendments proposed in the two exposure draft tranches, by the end of 2012.

Andouille, Bean, and Tomato Salad
Andouille salad, a nod to the American South, features pink rounds of the smoky sausage mingling with heirloom Steuben beans, Vidalia onions, yellow cherry tomatoes, Kirby cucumbers, and chopped jalapeno.
- Servings: 6
Source: Martha Stewart Living, July 2006
For the Beans:
- 1 3/4 cups dried beans, such as yellow Steuben
- 3 garlic cloves
- 6 fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon coarse salt
For the Salad:
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced Vidalia or sweet red onion
- 1/2 fresh jalapeno chile, halved and thinly sliced into half-moons (remove seeds for less heat if desired)
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for skillet
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 medium Kirby cucumber, peeled, quartered lengthwise, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
- 16 yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 12 ounces Andouille sausage, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
Make the beans: Soak beans overnight; drain. Put beans, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves into a medium pot; cover with cold water by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, stir, and then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender; begin checking after 30 minutes (cooking times will vary). Stir in salt. Remove from heat, and let stand 5 minutes. Drain beans, and discard herbs and garlic; set beans aside.
Make the salad: Put onion and jalapeno into a medium bowl; stir in vinegar and 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon oil. Add warm beans; season with salt and pepper. Let stand until beans are cool. Stir in cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, and remaining tablespoon oil.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add just enough oil to coat skillet. Add sausage, and cook, flipping once, until browned and heated through, about 2 minutes per side. Add to salad, and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Team Conflicts and what to do about them
Not investing in team-building can cost a great deal of money.
The cost of not investing in team-building - What's the cost of buying a new car, putting it on the road and not servicing it?
What's the cost if you're going to an appointment and you're car breaks down on the motorway. Maybe you're delayed or you don't even get to that meeting.
There's a cost in having it towed away and various other things and then repaired. There's the cost of you missing the appointment. Staff are the same thing – they don't always cost a lot more.
The cost of not investing in the team – if a staff member isn't doing what they do well, misses opportunities, is unable to deliver certain things, misses deadlines for example, goes to a meeting but misses the opportunity to capture the benefits of that meeting, there's a cost.
You may not know about it but there's an actual cost, i.e. They don't come back with the business. If a manager wastes maybe (and the Government had these figures) typically twenty-five percent of their weekly time in conflict, if a person has a conflict, twenty-five percent of every week so that's a day a week, that's fifty days a year – look at all the managers in your business – if you've got a big company and they're all wasting fifty days a year to unwarranted conflict, what's the cost of that?
So a fifth, or twenty-five percent of their salary is wasted but what about what they could have been doing with that time? If you start looking at those figures, then actually a team-building event is exceptionally good value. Not doing a team-build can cost you a great deal of money.
There's a business where a member of staff missed a £120,000 contract. That member of staff was not in a good mood, was not having a good time, didn't talk about it at work and simply did a very sloppy job. And it's actually a client that they'd had for a period of time. It wasn't a new client. The client just placed the work elsewhere, thinking they didn't really want it.
Now what cost is that. Maybe fifty pence in the pound of that contract ? Thirty grand, forty grand, fifty grand? It actually cost forty pence in the pound profit for that member of staff. Now I ask you was team-building worth it – almost a stupid question, if that's going on. In that case the company were actually smart enough to find that out, but there might be companies that never find that out but nonetheless it's still happens; It does not make it better because you don't know about it.
Just because you can't see it does not make it OK.
That's why I say team-building is sometimes uncomfortable because you have to bring your head out of the sand, have a look and realise you're maybe not where you thought you were. You don't have the team you thought you had. It may be uncomfortable for directors, managers, team members, shareholders, but please, you'll both know where you are with relevance to where you want to be and we can help you do that –I guarantee Team-Building can help you do that.

It was brave of Riccardo Chailly and his Gewandhausorchester Leipzig to launch their series of complete Brahms symphonies and concertos with the Double Concerto for Violin and Cello. It's the Cinderella of Brahms's major works, its charms not always obvious and often passed over. Adopting a muscular approach to the first movement, Chailly paradoxically highlighted the heavy-handed aspect of the music. It didn't help that the violin soloist Leonidas Kavakos was sparing with his lyricism, but Enrico Dindo's wonderfully nuanced, tender phrasing made one wish Brahms had written a real Cello Concerto.
The First Symphony in C Minor benefited more from the qualities Chailly brought to bear: full-bodied tone, strong accents and dramatic sweep — the finale positively galloped to its conclusion. Capitalising on the burnished tone of this high-calibre orchestra, Chailly mined the centuries-long tradition of north German rigour and spiritual gravitas embodied in the work. The power and authority of Chailly's reading are undeniable. Perhaps it was the thought of poor old Cinders but I found myself ungratefully wanting more in terms of pliancy, expressive flexibility and, yes, enchantment.

John Stewart, a leading campaigner against Heathrow expansion, has found his name on a "blacklist", fuelling claims that such secret files have been more widely used than thought.
Mr Stewart, 63, chairman of pressure group Hacan (Heathrow Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise), believes it could explain why he was barred from the US in 2011 with no reason given.
Mr Stewart, who is from Clapham, has no criminal convictions, does not belong to a trade union and worked in retail before taking up peaceful campaigning. When his plane landed in New York he was escorted off it by armed guards and sent home. He had planned a speaking tour with fellow campaigners.
Mr Stewart has been told by the GMB union that he was on a blacklist previously thought to have only contained names of alleged "troublemakers" and trade unionists from the building industry. "It could explain why I was refused entry to America in 2011," he said. "The list seems to have been around for some years. It's worrying that somebody like me, without convictions, can find myself on a blacklist like this."
Zac Goldsmith, the Conservative MP and environmentalist, said he was astonished: "If John Stewart has been refused entry to the States because of his Heathrow campaign, the tolerance threshold must be astonishingly low. He is superbly effective, but it's hard to think of a more civilised campaigner."
The list was found in 2009 when the Information Commissioner's Office, which enforces data protection rules, raided an organisation called the Consulting Association in Droitwich, Worcestershire. It has now closed.
Most of the 3,213 people on the list were construction workers and the database was used to vet staff for the industry. It included details about workers' personal relationships, trade union activity and employment history. But the GMB estimated 200 names were of green campaigners. Tamsin Omond, of Climate Rush, was also on the list.
Alternative explanations for the US barring Mr Stewart could be that he did not have a work visa, and was travelling with a man who claimed to have superglued himself to Gordon Brown. The US Embassy would not comment. GMB general secretary Paul Kenny said: "The blacklisting scandal now widens to include abuses of basic freedoms like the right to travel abroad. Some on the list never worked in construction, so who put them on it and why?"

"K-2" or Spice Will be Illegal In Florida
It's legal now, but not for long. A man from Georgia was arrested at an Alachua County hotel last night for his psychotic behavior after taking a substance referred to as Spice. A woman had said her boyfriend had been smoking Spice and wasn't acting right. 41 year old Jose Hernandez was arrested and charged with attacking three deputies, but using the drug that may have sent him overboard isn't one of his charges, yet.
The Drug Enforcement Administration made the substances in Spice illegal as of March 1st, but that's at a federal level. Described as a marijuana copycat by law enforcement, Spice will not become illegal in Florida until later this year.
Sgt. Todd Thomas is part of the Gainesville, Alachua County Drug Task Force. Thomas says Hernandez was under the influence of Spice when deputies responded to a complaint of a naked man yelling and banging on hotel room doors at the Rodeway Inn in Southwest Alachua County. Hernandez faces charges for battery on three law enforcement officers, but nothing for his use of the substance Spice.
The substances used in Spice, or K-2, will become illegal in Florida beginning July 1st when it will be a felony to possess or sell it.

Target Breach: Vendors, You're Not Wrestlers, And This Isn't The WWE
Posted by Rick Holland on March 14, 2014

Yesterday, Bloomberg Businessweek ran a story providing some alarming details on the Target breach. The article, "Missed Alarms and 40 Million Stolen Credit Card Numbers: How Target Blew It," didn't paint a pretty picture of Target's response.
Some of the highlights in case you haven't read it yet:
- Six months before the incident, Target invested $1.6 million in FireEye technology.
- Target had a team of security specialists in Bangalore monitoring the environment.
- On Saturday November 30, FireEye identified and alerted on the exfiltration malware. By all accounts this wasn't sophisticated malware; the article states that even Symantec Endpoint Protection detected it.
- "The breach could have been stopped there without human intervention." I'm not sure that I agree with this statement. The journalist doesn't mention what FireEye technology was deployed, but I suspect it was the NX platform that focuses on web-based malware. The NX can be deployed: out-of-band via a TAP/SPAN, in-line monitoring, or in-line active blocking. This was a new deployment, so the chances that the solution was deployed in-line for active blocking or leveraging TCP resets for out-of-band blocking are small. The article even states that "It's possible that FireEye was still viewed with some skepticism by its minders." If they were skeptical of the solution, I doubt it was doing any automated response. In my experience, customers don't typically deploy these types of solutions in-line. FireEye tells me that they have a significant amount of customers who deploy the NX platform in-line, but I personally haven't observed that over the past four years of selling (as a sales engineer) and covering FireEye.
- Analysts in Bangalore got the alert and then flagged the security team in Minneapolis.
- The Minneapolis Security Operations Center "did nothing."
- The article states, "The security system sent out more alerts, each the most urgent on FireEye's graded scale." More alerts don't always result in action. How many other alerts were SOC analysts getting? Depending on the FireEye deployment, the solution's alerts could've been overwhelming by themselves. Then if you consider the aggregated alerting from Target's entire infrastructure, these alerts could have been lost in the noise.
- Hindsight is 20/20. There is no doubt that Target had catastrophic failures. It's easy to look back upon what happened and armchair-quarterback the situation. The pragmatic reality is that technology alone won't magically save your organization. If you don't have the right people/process/oversight around initiatives, they won't be successful.
Vendors who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. It didn't take long; I've already started hearing FireEye competitors speaking out against their competitor's role in the Target breach. As I mentioned above, this wasn't a technology failure: FireEye detected the malware. This was a people/process/oversight failure. In some respects, this reminds me of Bit9's "operational oversight" breach. I blogged about this last year and made the comment that Bit9's operational oversight, was an operational reality for most organizations out there. So if you are a FireEye competitor with a similar technology that would be deployed in the same manner, chances are your technology would've suffered from the same operational oversight. Furthermore, as an analyst, I'm not encouraged when I hear competitors demeaning other vendors. I don't want to hear trash talking; you're not wrestlers, and this isn't the WWE. Talk to me about how you differentiate; don't chase your competition, disrupt the entire space with a new novel approach.

Comment from Ulf Mattsson (not verified) on Sat, 03/15/2014 - 18:13
Some people think that it was likely that the Target security team received a large volume of such alerts on a daily basis, which would have made it tough to have singled out that threat as being particularly malicious.
This type of situation is very common in the industry. They just haven't been hit yet.
The latest published Data Breach Investigations Report from Verizon reported that most breaches were detected by external parties with whom the victim has no business relationship specific to detection services. Common examples are ISPs and intelligence organizations that track threat actors and, when appropriate, inform potential victims of suspicious activity.
Only 13% of breaches where detected by internal means. There is a lack of effective means of detecting a breach internally. This involves a regular employee who, in the course of their daily responsibilities, notices something strange. Other means (like Log reviews, IT audit, Network Intrusion Detection Systems and Fraud detection) only detected 5% of the breaches.
This tells me that we need to proactively secure sensitive data itself and not rely on monitoring systems to catch an attacker.
Chip and pin cards will not help against most modern attacks. Attackers just move to the next point in the data flow to steal your identity data.
I read about retailers that are using best practices in an interesting report from the Aberdeen Group. The report revealed that "Over 12 months, data tokenization users had 50% fewer security-related incidents (e.g., unauthorized access, data loss or data exposure than tokenization non-users".
I think that the Aberdeen approach can quickly address some of the urgent issues. The name of the study is "Tokenization Gets Traction".
I also read "Tokenization – Why, What, How and Who" in Money2020 that Tokenization has been a hot topic lately. In a tokenization scheme, even if a hacker has access to several data pairs, the tokenization algorithms should be complex enough so that it cannot be breached.

Ulf, thank you for the
Comment from Rick Holland on Mon, 03/17/2014 - 09:50
Ulf, thank you for the comments. I really got my intro to tokenization about 4 years ago when I was a SE working with clients on PCI compliance. It was interesting for clients, but there wasn't a ton of movement to it. At Forrester we include tokenization as one of the options for "killing data."

The Jimi Hendrix biopic All Is By My Side stars rapper André Benjamin as the mind-blowing, blue-warping guitarist, and covers the musician's down-and-out days in New York and his fruitful move to London in 1966. We spoke to director John Ridley about a soulful film which seeks a distribution deal following its world premiere at TIFF this past weekend.
All Is By My Side is "based on a true story." I'm no Hendrix scholar, but the film didn't seem to be all that loose with the facts. How much liberty was taken?
Very little was needed. And, really, I think audiences have been better cultivated, in terms of their tolerance for films that hew close to the story and have less of that artifice and have less of the created story arcs, as opposed to things that really had historical beats. I think audiences have more patience for following historical stories now.
I think about Ben Affleck's Argo. It won the Oscar for best picture, but the film took a lot of heat for its exaggerations of the storyline.
Yes. And, conversely, you look at Lincoln, which eschewed bigger, broader moments in favour of an intimate story about a very important piece of history, but one that was ultimately about getting a bill passed. I think five or six years ago there was this sense that you had to have these big, outlandish beats to keep an audience interested. But I think audiences have moved to a different place, where they can be entertained by the human connection you find in a real story.
The story of Jimi Hendrix is well known, but the man himself, perhaps because he died at age 27, is a bit of a mystery. I've always thought him to be rather alien. What were your ideas on how to present him?
One of the reasons I wanted to make this movie was to reveal aspects of him or thoughts or philosophies that most people didn't know. It's interesting that you mention alien. One of my takeaways, and you'll remember from the film, with the scene in the bookstore, is that Jimi was an avid reader of science fiction. He really did believe in life in outer space. He talked about how it influenced the individual and how it was going to change the world in time. He held those things to be true.
His spaced-out vibe would have been perceived as product of drug use. Purple haze, all in my brain, right?
A lot of people think Purple Haze was a drug song. But actually the song title is a reference to the "purple haze" in the sci-fi novel Night of Light by Philip José Farmer. With this film, I want people to know that there was more to his creativity than simply being a psychedelic rocker. His thoughts, both on a macro level and just as he carried himself, were a little bit alien, because that's where his head was at.
I love André Benjamin's portrayal of Jimi. How did he get into that head space you're talking about?
Two things: We never approached it as a Vegas-lounge-act version of Jimi Hendrix, where it was just about getting the tics and mannerisms of this guy. We dug deeper. We wanted an emotional truth to the character, and that's what we wanted to portray. That's more difficult than "here's the guy who had the left hand and the blown-out 'fro." We wanted a to create a character, not a caricature.
Still, André did nail him, physically.
He spent about six months training and working with a vocal coach and getting aspects of the physicality down. Coming into this film, André was in terrific shape. But he lost a great deal of weight for the role. Jimi was nearly emaciated at that time period. André was willing to lose the weight because a person a little bit lighter carries themselves differently. And there was the learning to play the guitar upside down, strung backward and to be able to replicate those chords so accurately.
One of the things we see is the transformation of Jimi. He's pretty laid back about his career at the beginning. But by the end of the film, just as we're about to get to his breakthrough performance at Monterey Pop in 1967, he's changed.
In the early stages, Jimi was very passive with his own life. I found that very interesting, when someone has that degree of talent but has given up on themselves. Or they have this belief that their talent will carry the day. By the end of the film, he's much more assertive. A moment presents itself where he can either be very passive and let the moment go. But he decides to do something that potentially could be a disaster. He tells his bandmates that "this is living, let's have at it." And that really changes his course.
You didn't use any song material that was actually written by Hendrix. How did that change the storytelling?
Ultimately it didn't. This was a story that predates that era. The music that we used could be historically accurate and absolutely correct. He really did play Future Trip, Bleeding Heart, Killin' Floor and Mannish Boy . He played Sgt. Pepper. We could introduce or reintroduce a soundtrack of some catalogue music that fans perhaps weren't familiar with.
Do you think some fans, especially the casual ones, will be disappointed when they don't hear the recognizable stuff?
There may be some people who come into it expecting a greatest-hits collection. I don't understand what the benefit of doing that is. For any story, a film has to be informative for it to be relevant. If all we're doing is giving people music they're familiar with, we would have been almost as well off by taking our production budget and buying these fantastic CDs with these fantastic songs and just handing them out to people on the street corner. Instead, we have a story to offer them. It has its own power and emotional velocity. And if you don't have that, you have nothing.

I show my copy of Annabel to Kathleen Winter and she's clearly moved. Towards the end of the interview, she takes it again in hand, flipping through, as if to say, yes, yes, yes. As if to say, yes, I'm relieved, relieved to know that I succeeded.
Upon entering the media room, Winter immediately launches into a tale of adaptation, the mental and physical gymnastics that come with throwing oneself into the path of conversations with people at any one of the many events she'll attend this season. With guidance from brother Michael, a master at such things, such skills on display as recently as the Penguin 75th anniversary party, sister Kathleen seems more comfortable alone in a room with a relative stranger, at home in the jeans she confesses she picked up off the street one day, than in a roomful of industry people on point to step out and congratulate her on her trifecta of award nominations for her debut novel, a story, among other things, about an intersex child who is raised as a boy against the wishes of his mother.
Annabel is nominated for the Roger's Writers' Trust Fiction Prize, the Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction, and the Scotiabank Giller Prize, this country's most lucrative and prestigious prize for fiction. Every book on this year's Giller shortlist has already been deemed worthy of winning by nomination alone. But should Annabel take the prize, I solemnly believe that this country's readership will, overnight - pardon my candour - grow a clue where one didn't exist before.
In Annabel, all are welcome.
It's not a perfect book. It's far from imperfect. And I can say this about all my favourite books, the ones that needed to be written, the ones you talk about precisely because room was left for the reader to step in, almost as if to say that, your work here is not done. In this case, the reader is asked to occupy the shoes of a child who lives both in the mainstream and on the fringes.
Below is a partial transcript of my conversation with Kathleen Winter, not an unlikely one - I was still at House of Anansi Press when Annabel was acquired, where Winter and I had corresponded briefly. Our chat felt more like a catch-up, my ongoing curiosity for the text finally finding an outlet on a windy day down on Harbourfront.
Globe and Mail: Does Wayne, in your mind, actually exist?
Kathleen Winter: Wayne is the only character in the story who doesn't actually exist. Nobody's ever really asked me that before. And I don't consciously think he doesn't exist, but it's like how the main character in a lot of books doesn't actually exist. It's the characters that he plays off of, they're the ones that have to be as real as possible.
But if I look at Wayne, I can see right through him, he's transparent, he's made of insubstantial things. I don't know if that's a fault or not, but that's true, it's very true.
Globe and Mail: Because one of the things that I like about Wayne is how plainly he speaks. And as I got further into the story, I started to wonder, what if Wayne had been a precocious child? How would that have changed the tone of the story? Or, if there'd been a locker-room scene. It felt integral to the story that Wayne's truth be revealed to him, and by whom, in the order in which it occurs. However, in earlier drafts, did you consider constructing a scene in which it's another child who points out Wayne's difference?
Kathleen Winter: That would have been great. I kind of wish I had now. I don't know why I didn't do that. I feel like going home and writing that scene right now. [laughter]
G & M: I'm just thinking back to my own youth, that very conscious age, especially among girls, where it's clear someone, a mentor, has told them that it's time to start shaving, for instance. It shifts among cultures, but it's a distinct memory for me.
Kathleen Winter: You know, maybe if Wayne had been written as a girl, I would have . . . known more. I would have remembered more. But because I wrote him as a boy . . . right? I don't know what boys are like with each other about their bodies when they're kids. I didn't think about it.
There is one scene in which he tells the doctor, I know that other boys only have two balls and I only have one. So, he's noticed it. But if I'd written him as Annabel and the Wayne part of him had been hidden, I definitely would have written a scene like that because, to me, that's just the first thing you'd think of. As a child, I went swimming and everyone looks at each other's bodies . . . the whole thing is very up front.Report Typo/Error

947 Western Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15233
(412) 231-0110
Lindo's is the home of the single piece of best bacon Nina has eaten in Pittsburgh. Other bacon was just normal, but that one piece was a gift from God or whomever you pray too.
We love a Greek diner with all day breakfast. Even better, they have a buffet on Saturday and Sunday for only $6.99. It's at the end of Western Avenue and seeing as how we woke up late, it all worked out.
We got the buffet. How was it?
The bacon, again, was cooked the way Nina likes it. She's had a lot of bacon in her time. A lot. And this was, well, you read above. Crispy on the meaty parts and chewy on the fatty. It was medium grade bacon but cooked well. They just had a giant bowl filled with bacon. The first batch was OK. But the second had that one thick cut beautiful piece of dream bacon.
They also had potatoes had peppers and onions, eggs, cinnamon-y French toast, some grits (which didn't have enough salt in the water, but after adding a bunch and pepper weren't bad) and so much more.
The sausage was like little Jimmy Dean sausage links. One piece was uncooked in the middle. Otherwise, they were good. Also, we'd like say RIP, Jimmy Dean Sausage King.
The pancakes were an amazing golden brown. They just kept filling up the food, let us tell you!
The only odd thing about this place was that they were playing a Cindy Crawford informercial on the TV. If you have cable, you should put on a fun channel that people can eat breakfast to. That's our opinion.
That was really one of the few bad comments we had, haha.

Opening Teaser: None.
Randy: (after Marina leaves the party) Wow. Hey, just one question. Who is in love with that woman?
Carol: Count me in!
Tim: I'm only human. The woman has a charm that goes way beyond the fact that she's just... stunning.
Carol: Yes. Jenny? Don't you have just a little crush on Marina?
Jenny: No.
Alice: (seeing Tim) Do you guys think he knows?
Bette: Knows what?
Alice: That his girlfriend is making the team with Marina.
Alice: I don't know, you guys, you're really cutting edge, now. Lesbian moms. Biracial child.
Bette: We are pretty in, Alice.
Alice: Well, you're going to have no trouble getting that kid into the Center for Early Education. It's gonna be, like, diversity poster child.
Shane: So, which one is she?
(Dana points out Lara to her.)
Shane Wow. Very nice, Dana. (Dana gives Shane a dirty look. Don't you dare.) No! I'm here for you. I'm here for you.
Shane: (about Lara) Ask her out.
Bette: No, no, no, Dana cannot do that. And that's totally understandable. You don't want to put yourself out there for someone who maybe is just being nice to you, because, you know, you're an important person at the club.
Dana: Exactly.
Alice: Please don't encourage her.
Bette: It's okay, Dana. We are gonna take care of this.
Alice: You mean?
Bette: I mean.
Dana: What?
Bette: We are going to deploy a mission to ascertain the disposition and intent of one Miss Lara Perkins.
Alice: (picking up a turkey baster) What is this?
Tina: Marcus Allenwood.
(Alice depresses the plunger and sperm shoots out of the baster into Dana's hair, freaking her out.)
Dana: Oh, god! Shit!
Alice: Okay! Okay! Alright! (grabs a towel and helps Dana wipe it off) That is disgusting.
Dana: Oh my god, get it off, get it off!
Alice: Okay! You're not going to get pregnant through your sweater!
Dana: Thanks, I know. Alright, I got it. I'll get it.
Shane: Wait. So, we could be here at the moment of conception.
Bette: You could. Yes.
Shane: Well, then, I'm really sorry. Would you like us to leave?
Bette: (smiling) That would be too late.
Shane: (Bette answers the door in her bath robe) Hi, were you sleeping?
Bette: Not exactly.
Alice: Yeah, we tried to call but no one answered.
Bette: So the logical conclusion was just to come over?
Alice: No, uh, it's an emergency, y'know, started as a gaydar thing -- Shane and I are totally capable of handling that -- but this one has major relationship stuff.
Shane: Yeah, I think at this point she (Dana) needs expert advice.
Dana: (about Lara) She's the soup chef.
Alice: A sous-chef?
Dana: Hmm?
Alice: Like the assistant chef?
Dana: (clueless) Oh, yeah.
Alice: Sous-chef.
Dana: Oh, yeah. No, that's totally what she is.
Alice: (trying to teach Dana 'gaydar') What is she?
Dana: A customer? (Shane shakes her head.) I don't know!
Shane: Dana, look at her fingernails, are they long or short?
Alice: Are they polished or natural?
Dana: They're long and polished. (she looks at Alice) Sooo, she's... (looks to Alice)
Shane: Leaning to straight, but we still need more info.
Alice: Look at the shoes.
Dana: High-heeled sandals.
Alice: With tapered jeans. (Dana looks confused.) Would you wear high-heeled sandals with tapered jeans?
Dana: (looking back and forth between Shane and Alice, looking very confused) Yes?
Alice: No!
Shane: Sexuality is fluid. Whether you're gay, or you're straight or you're bisexual -- you just go with the flow.
Dana: No, no, no. That, is my problem, okay. I can't feel the flow. That... thing, whatever it is, I don't got it.
Alice: You don't have gaydar.
Dana: No.
Alice: You're so right, you don't have it!
Shane: Everyone's got it. You just have to tune it in.
Bette: Why is it so important for you to believe that everyone is sleeping with everyone else?
Alice: Because they are.
Shane: Dana, I'm impressed, you're into someone and you want to know whether or not they're down.
Dana: She's down?
Alice: Whether she plays for our team -- the gay team.
Dana: Wait... don't the bisexuals have their own team?
Alice: Alright, I need to get my vagina rejuvenated!
Lacey: (talking about Shane) The 4F's! She finds 'em, feels 'em, fucks 'em and forgets 'em, but I'm gonna tell the whole world who you are!
Alice: Dana, most girls are straight 'til they're not, and then, sometimes they're gay 'til they're not.
Tina: (re: Lara) Maybe she's a different kind of lesbian.
Alice: Yeah, the straight kind!
Tina: Yeah, but the Shane test pretty much works on every woman.
Dana: You didn't get anything from her?
Shane: I got nothin'.
Bette: Oh, honey, there are a lot of other fish in the sea.

The Particulars
The No. 55 University of Miami men's tennis team kicks off play in the 2013 ACC Men's Tennis Championship against No. 54 North Carolina on Thursday, April 25 at 9 a.m. at Cary (N.C.) Tennis Park. Miami (13-12, 2-8 ACC) finished ninth in the league standing and drew the No. 9 seed, while North Carolina (11-12, 4-6 ACC) finished eighth and earned the No. 8 seed.
The winner of Thursday's matchup will face No. 2 Virginia in the quarterfinals on Friday.
Last Time Out
Miami closed its 2013 regular season schedule with a highly competitive match against then-No. 1 Virginia last Sunday, but ultimately dropped a tough 6-1 final. The Hurricanes fought hard on every court in both singles and doubles competition, but were only able score one point on the afternoon.
Highlighting singles play for the Hurricanes was junior Gabriel Flores and sophomore Wilfredo Gonzalez. Although Flores was not able to pull out a victory, the Guaynabo, Puerto Rico native fought a tough match against the nation's then-top-ranked player in Jarmere Jenkins. In both sets, the two players exchanged leads but Jenkins was able to break Flores' serve in the final two games and prevailed, 7-6, 7-5.
Gonzalez, who owns a team-leading 16-8 dual singles record and a 12-1 home mark, put Miami on the board with a hard-fought three set victory over then-No. 58 Ryan Shane at third singles. The 6-3 right-hander jumped out to a 6-4 win in the first set, but Shane responded with 6-4 win of his own in the second frame. Standing tall in the deciding set, Gonzalez polished off Shane with another 6-4 victory, giving Miami its only point of the afternoon.
For the first time in 15 weeks, Virginia, who has won 103 consecutive ACC matches, lost its footing as the nation's top-ranked team in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll. This regression may be attributed to the the stiff challenge the Hurricanes posed to Virginia last weekend.
Hurricanes in Neutral Matches
Miami has recorded a perfect 3-0 record in matches played at neutral sites. In fact, the Hurricanes began the 2012-2013 season with a doubleheader in Gainesville at the University of Florida, followed by the ITA Kick-off Weekend tournament in Columbus, Ohio.
The Hurricanes scored the victory at UF by sweeping Bethune-Cookman, 7-0, while downing then-No. 71 Louisiana-Lafayette, 4-3, in the ITA Kick-off Weekend tournament.
Later in the season, Miami traveled to Lubbock, Texas for a pair of matches. In the second match of a back-to-back, Miami battled to a 5-2 win over New Mexico, giving the Hurricanes their third neutral match victory.
Scouting the Tar Heels
North Carolina enters Thursday's matchup on a two-match winning streak and winners of four of their last six. Last weekend the Tar Heels grabbed a 5-2 victory over then-No. 25 Wake Forest, before sweeping Boston College, 7-0, in its last match of the regular season.
No. 43 Esben Hess-Olesen highlights North Carolina's singles lineup, while the Tar Heels doubles lineup features a pair of ranked tandems in No. 70 William Parker and Nelson Vick and No. 86 Brett Clark and Hess-Olesen.
North Carolina owns a 1-1 record in neutral matches this season.
Earlier this Season
Miami and North Carolina faced off earlier this season in Chapel Hill, N.C., in a match that ended in a 5-2 victory for the Tarheels.
Scoring for Miami was Gabriel Flores with a 0-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Brett Clark at No. 2 singles, while senior Victor Mauz notched a 7-6, 6-4 at sixth singles over Andre Gores.

'Love and Hip Hop New York' Season 4 Episode 10 SPOILERS: Tahiry vs Rashidah, Is Their Friendship Over? [WATCH]
Insults fly left and right between Tahiry Jose and her best friend Rashidah Ali as season four of "Love and Hip Hop New York" continues with episode 10.
In the Vh1 sneak peek video tension may tear this friendship apart as Rashidah accuses Tahiry of being a bad friend for not taking time to see what she needs while she prepares for her wedding.
This comes after Tahiry visits Rashidah to talk bridesmaid dresses, but starts to vent about her ping pong relationship with her on-and-off-again boyfriend Joe Budden.
"How can you feel a way about him hitting on the body of another woman when you post your own body," Rashidah asks after Tahiry expresses her concerns about Joe's inappropriate behavior on Instagram.
"That's completely different. The urban model world is what I do. The pictures I post, that's my job. See Joey's not just posting butt body parts because he's posting the chicks he's supposedly dating or spending time with that's completely different," Tahiry says.
Things start to take a turn for the worse between the women when Rashidah asks, "But are you still doing the same thing at 30 plus years old that you did at 20 plus?"
Tahiry gets instantly offended and starts to defend her career, while Rashidah goes on to state that maybe its her lack of personal and career growth that's causing Joe to act out.
"It may not make sense to you but maybe he's doing it to get a reaction out of you," Rashidah says. "Because guess what, I see all the time you post pictures of your a** not in a tasteful sexy way."
Tahiry then gets up, deciding to leave the dress fitting, as Rashidah continues to get even more more cut-throat with her friend.
"You have attention issues, you have daddy issues and maybe you should pay attention to what I'm saying as a friend!" Rashidah yells. "I have a wedding and you haven't even taken five minutes to call your own friend and ask your friend do you nee help with anything!"
"Rashidah has some right to feel the way she does, but she could of picked up the phone and called me and tell me what she needed instead of talkin all this bulls**t," Tahiry says to the greenroom cameras.
Tahiry walks out of the house angrily and Rashidah yells out the door that Tahiry is no longer going to be in her wedding anymore.
Will the friends be able to reconcile before Rashidah's big day? Or have their hurtful words caused too much animosity for the friendship to ever be restored?
Catch the sneak peek of "Love and Hip Hop New York" episode 10 below. Be sure to catch the full episode on Monday, Jan. 13 at 8 p.m. on Vh1.

Millwall decision expected
Filed: Wednesday, 13th January 2010
By: Staff Writer
West Ham United should learn their fate with regards to the Millwall affair later today.
The Hammers spent three days last week defending their position at an FA hearing, set up to investigate scenes of crowd disorder at the Carling Cup tie between the two local rivals earlier this season.
West Ham are defending four charges - namely:
1. Failure to ensure their supporters refrained from violent, threatening, obscene and provocative behaviour.
2. Failure to ensure their supporters refrained from racist behaviour.
3. Failure to ensure their supporters didnt throw missiles, harmful or dangerous objects onto the pitch.
4. Failure to ensure their supporters didnt enter the field of play.
Should the club be found guilty on any of the above a fine and possible temporary ground closure could follow.

Late Sunday afternoon, second baseman Danny Espinosa walked through the Nationals' clubhouse with a limp, and the stitches of a baseball were visible on his right knee, as if they had been branded there.
Espinosa had left the Nationals' 4-2 loss to the Padres as part of a logical double switch, but also three innings after he absorbed an Ian Kennedy curveball in the kneecap. Espinosa said his knee remained sore and swollen afterward, but he hoped Monday's off day would be enough rest for him to return.
"That will be huge," Espinosa said. "I have a feeling if I had to go tomorrow, I would do it, but it wouldn't be easy."
Espinosa said he would see how he feels Tuesday, but he assumed he would be able to play. Already stung by injuries, the Nationals could ill afford to lose Espinosa. He has filled in at second base following Ryan Zimmerman's broken thumb, which forced regular second baseman Anthony Rendon to shift to third base. For the season, Espinosa has hit .278/.338/.458 with two homers.
That made Espinosa's reaction to his hit by pitch — his team-leading third — frightening for the Nationals. Kennedy's slow curve nailed Espinosa directly on the knee cap. After a beat, he crumpled to the ground and stayed down, his head in the dirt. But after head athletic trainer Lee Kuntz examined his knee, Espinosa rose to his feet and trotted to first base.

Grainger plc ("Grainger"/ the "Company")
Grainger and Places for People have announced a deal on the sale of a portfolio of 271 retirement properties for £18.35 million.
The properties, which are mainly located in the south and south east of England, have been bought by Places for People and comprised part of Grainger's £474 million retirement solutions portfolio. The properties from today's sale were originally acquired as part of Grainger's larger portfolio of reversionary assets.
Instead of selling these assets as they became vacant Grainger working with Girlings, the specialist retirement property lettings manager, assembled a significant portfolio of Assured Tenancies, offering an attractive investment opportunity, which has proved to be successful with this first portfolio sale.
Grainger retains a further portfolio of similar retirement properties. The retirement property sector has seen an increased interest among investors, and today's sale demonstrates Grainger's ability to capitalise on this.
Peter Couch, executive director of Grainger, with responsibility for its retirement solutions business, said:
"This transaction represents a significant portfolio sale for Grainger and follows a programme of successful active management aimed at extracting reversionary potential before releasing the assets for sale. Proceeds from the transaction will be used to further reduce the Company's gearing."
David Shaw, Group Director, Development at Places for People said:
"This acquisition is part of a wider strategic programme to move into the retirement living sector, and consolidate and expand our stock in key areas.
"It will enable us to continue to offer a broad mix of housing alongside domiciliary care and lifestyle services, assistive technology and bespoke financial products to an older population, which is set to grow by 55% in the next 20 years."
Dickinson Dees advised Grainger on the sale, and Eversheds advised Places for People.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds's attorney, Allen Ruby, says every word Bonds uttered in grand-jury testimony in late 2003 was truthful and helped in landing an indictment against BALCO in early 2004. (Bonds was later indicted in 2007.)
In his opening statement in Bonds' federal trial, Ruby said the notion of Bonds posing for a BALCO ad was merely thanks for the company's relationship with Bobby Bonds, Barry's late father and a former major leaguer.
"There is no perjury in this case. Never has been," said Ruby, one of 13 attorneys on Bonds's legal team. The government has five.
PROSECUTION'S CASE: 'All (Bonds) had to do was to tell the truth'
CONTEMPT: Bonds' trainer refuses to testify, taken into custody
"When Barry was getting the clear (and the cream), nobody knew what it was," Ruby said. "I know it doesn't make a good story… or made-for-TV movie."
Ruby said the government's key witnesses -- Bonds' former girlfriend, Kimberly Bell and former business associate Steve Hoskins -- split on bad terms. "The bitterness of these people toward Barry… was very strong. It paints the caricature of Barry has a terrible man who took on the federal government. That is wrong."
Ruby says Hoskins committed forgery while employed by Bonds. But the government gave him "a form of amnesty" in 2005 for the felony, and Hoskins gave testimony against Bonds.
Ruby attributed Bonds's sudden weight and muscle gain to intensified workouts supervised by his personal trainer, Greg Anderson, a weightlifter.
