Topic: Status update and Hi!
Well, I haven't been around the boards in a while, my apologies for sure. Saw Tiff in December during my unfortunate last trip to Huntsville as I switched jobs and am now not travelling for work any more. I'm selling homes for a luxury builder here in Sarasota, so anyone know someone interested in moving to Sarasota and wants to build a new house, let me know! Curious about the stuff we build: www.johncannonhomes.com will give you a good idea!
Scan results: "Stable Examination. findings are not suspicious for tumor recurrence or metastatic disease." Yeah baby!!! My 2 year anniversary was 9/14/13, how appropriate that it was on Yom Kippur, day of atonement and fasting. I haven't felt better and am doing great! Kids doing well in school, Bat Mitzvah on 10/19 for my daughter so the wife is FREAKIN' CRAZY right about now... But then again, she's amazing and doing everything coordination wise. I'll help, but she's the glue for sure with this event. Bonus this year, I get to eat! 2 years ago at my son's Bar Mitzvah is when all of this started for me. I should be able to enjoy myself a bit more this time around!
Hope everyone else is persevering, has positive vibes and maintains hope! Positive attitude is a must! I stopped by the Chemo wing at my oncology appointment today to say hi to the nurses. They were all very happy to see me, which you would expect when someone has the positive experience I have had so far. Grateful is an understatement for sure... Great touching base, will be back more frequently if at all possible!!
Husband to Eileen, Dad to Hunter (17) and Sydney (15)
Attitude is everything, you have to keep it positive! And take it one day at a time, it's all anyone can do with this disease...

fteoath64 - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkEmbedded ??!. This is a discrete gpu for all intends and purposes since it is on MXM module and interfaced via PCIe bus. To place such gpu power into a laptop with close to GTX 650M performance level is a good thing. Maybe mobo designers can embed one of these into mATX or ITX boards with Core i3 processors or even Kaveri systems allowing crossfire and netfinity functionality at a low price compared to Intel's lousy igpu. At least one can access Mantle drivers for games, so it could be a bonus for mobo makers to mark up $50 more. Here in lies the issue of potential upgradability depending on the cooling scheme used. Passive heatpipe sinks on a stick going past the backplate ?!. Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - linkAMD should make a Titan equivalent, but in APU form. It could sell very well for people who want to play VR games, and want chips that are well integrated for low latency, and have very high performance.
Unfortunately, AMD will probably continue their strategy of overpricing their chips because of the crypto-miners, which will make them useless for the VR crowd. So if they do it, they have to decide before that they are not going to gouge their customers. Reply
Gigaplex - Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - linkThat wouldn't work very well on DDR3. You'd need a custom system with faster memory, like GDDR5. Now you're in PS4 territory.
As for high prices with crypto-mining, AMD didn't set those high prices. The retailers are pricing way above MSRP in North America. Reply

History 213. The History of the Civil Rights Movement
This course will examine, through readings and films, those events that led up to and included the civil rights movement in the United States, as well as those mass movements it inspired throughout the 1960s and the 1970s. We will explore the hopes and dreams, actions and strategies of the progressive members of this movement, which began decades before sit-ins galvanized student activism. This course will center on the historical context that helped to shape the political and social reality of the times. We will examine how the basic tenets of this movement continue to influence us today.

The first time I walked into the Garden pressroom in 1978, I was welcomed by John and Janet Halligan, the team's public relations directors and one of the most happily-married couples I've ever known. I was this 20-something, bearded, long-haired, cigarette-smoking nobody in bad clothes, and yet John and Janet treated me as if I were the No. 1 columnist from the New York Times. Always did. Always treated everybody that way.
Today, one of my favorite people in hockey is gone. John Halligan, the foremost historian on the Rangers, and an author who just released a book about which he was beaming, 100 Ranger Greats, passed away in his sleep last night.
The first obituary I've seen is on that book's blogsite. You can see it here.
I will get back to blogging about your heroes, and last night's game, later on.

The Sri Lankan government has a pretty dismal reputation on human rights, but has paid little discernible price for this. Perhaps the rest of the world is simply grateful that a terrible civil war has come to a close – however brutal the finale.
It is important that disappearances and shootings in Sri Lanka should not go unremarked. So, in case you missed it, here is an FT report on the shooting of a Sri Lankan journalist last week. As the report notes, Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists. Some 39 have been killed over the last seven years.
The journalist who was shot this week worked for the Sunday Leader newspaper – whose editor was assassinated a couple of years ago, after predicting that he would be murdered by people linked to the government. The Sri Lankan government obviously denies any connection to the killing of journalists – although Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the country's volatile defence secretary, has issued barely-veiled threats against senior journalists for writing stories he did not like. The transcript of the conversation is here. The defence minister's interview with the BBC Hardtalk programme also gives a flavour of the man. Read more

I'm looking for some java script which will help me perform the the following function:-
I want to have a 'mail this page to a friend button on each of my pages which automatically opens up a new e-mail in the users microsoft outlook and insets the page url in the body of the e-mail (using the mailto: function).
I know you would insert a link like this:Send this pageto a friend
BUT: Is there any way that I can do this (possibly using a JS function) that would automatically enter the URL of the 'current page' into body= , rather that hand coding it for every page?
I've got over 600 page so handcoding would be a real chore!
Chilli...don't know if this would work...
Send this pageto a friend
I've just tried it as you said and it just inserts$PHP_SELF into the body.
Any reason for this not working? I host with hostrocket who have PHP on the servers - so that should be ok. Do I need to save the file with a php extension?
Sorry I'm not at all clued up on scripting.
just tried it by changing the file extensions to .php & .php3 an that didn't work either.
The $PHP_SELF variable will only work if inside php code, and inside an echo statement. Like this:
<?phpecho("Send this page to a friend");?>
You can use JavaScript, however, to do this without having to rename your files .php/.php3:

See if that works.
Hmmm, that doesn't seem to work, but I'm not sure why. Anyone have any ideas? I'm stumped.
I don't know if this could help you but I got this short reply when I posted on Webhostingtalk.
document.write('<a href= etc, etc, etc '+top.window.location
My JS is limited to say the least (deamweaver set functions) so I didn't know exactly how to implement this with the proper tags etc.
This seem to be working for me...however i'm not sure that works with every browser/platform/emailclient...
The script:
And here the call to the function:Send this page to a friend
If you're worried about compatibility, just use PHP in the echo command I mentioned earlier - compatible with anything that even resembles a browser.
This will open the standard email client; grab the title and url of the page and place them in the email body; insert the e-mail address entered in the <form> text box in the email To: box; and place a message in the email Subject line.
<title>This is a page</title><form name="Mailer">E-MAIL THIS LINK
Enter recipient's e-mail:
<input type="text" name="address" size="25">
<input type="button" value="Send this URL" onClick="mailThisUrl();"></form>
Take care to get the entire window.location = "mailto... etc. in the function all on one line.

If I was 16 years old with gold bars falling out of my acne, I'd probably buy myself a girlfriend willing to have sex on camera so kids on my bus won't think I'm a liar. Which explains how Kim Kardashian ended up on this photo shoot with Justin Bieber in the Bahamas. On that note, keep in mind 185% of the breasts I see are fake/attached to strippers, but that really looks like a nipple sticking out of Kim's shirt. In front of a minor. Now, I'm not saying that makes Kim a pedophile, but she should at least go door-to-door and let people know whenever she's in a neighborhood. Starting with mine. *slathers self in black shoe polish* Okay, ready.

Determined athletes from Barnet raised money for a Jewish charity as they pounded the streets of London in on one of running's biggest challenges.
Aviva Braunold, Brian Gordon and Michael Jaeger crossed the finish line of this year's Virgin London Marathon knowing they had helped raise more than £18,000 for Kisharon, which supports people with learning difficulties and their families.
Ms Braunold, an adult day services manager at the charity, waited eight years before taking on her second London marathon.
She completed the 26.2 mile race in a leisurely six hours and twenty six minutes and raised a total of £4,000.
The 32-year-old said: "My motivation was purely for the cash - I want to raise as much as possible because the financial packages we receive from local authorities do not cover the cost of the support services we provide for people with learning difficulties.
"I was determined to reach the end. The crowds were really good and my friends were texting me along the way, and came to meet me at the finish. It was amazing but I couldn't have done it without everyone's support."
Kisharon's fastest runner was Brian Gordon, from Edgware, who finished in four hours and three minutes.
The 42-year-old said: "I kept up a good pace for the first 14 miles then fatigue and cramp set in, so my second half was slower. I'm planning to have a week's rest then I'm going back to coaching my running group. "
Mr Gordon raised £3,000 which will be split between Kisharon and Myeloma UK.
The other Kisharon runners were patent attorney Michael Jaeger, 40, of Edgware, who completed the course in four hours 30 minutes.
The £8,000 he raised will be split 70/30 between Kisharon and Jewish Genetic Disorders UK.
Diamond merchant Matt Bick, 33, who is also the chair of Ner Yisrael shul in Borehamwood, ran finished in four hours 52 minutes.
Another runner, Shimon Lev, was unable to cross the finish line due to injury.

Meeting, greeting and getting connected with OSAPSBy Jessica Orwig
The Ohio-Region Section of the American Physical Society (OSAPS) was founded in 1939. For several decades, it was simply the Ohio Section focusing its efforts and outreach on physics faculty and students throughout the state of Ohio. In the early 21st century, however, the section reached out to border states Indiana and Michigan and consequently changed its name to the Ohio-Region Section, which now includes all of Michigan and Ohio and half of Indiana.
An expansion in the Section's geographical reach is just one of the many changes that OSAPS member and webmaster Perry Yaney has witnessed. Yaney first joined the Section when he was a professor at the University of Dayton in the early 1960s. Since its start, OSAPS has held two annual meetings, one in the fall and one in the spring, where students have the opportunity to present their scientific research and listen to guest speakers discuss recent advances in different fields of physics as well as connect with physics faculty from other nearby universities.
In his early days as an OSAPS member, Yaney remembers how students would learn to prepare presentations of their work on single sheets of glass that were then fed through a lantern projector — an early version of today's digital image projectors. Technology has come a long way and today most students who present at the Fall and Spring OSAPS meetings design and print posters of their work.
"The meetings have always been a good teaching opportunity and enable students and faculty to interact and network," Yaney said.
The Fall and Spring OSAPS regional meetings are the primary instruments with which the section fosters a physics community in and around Ohio. Moreover, the attendance rate is relatively small, in the hundreds, compared to national meetings such as the APS March Meeting. This creates an inviting, low-stress atmosphere for undergraduates and first- and second-year graduate students, who may feel intimidated at the prospect of public speaking, to present their work, said the OSAPS Executive Committee Chair Corneliu Rablau of Kettering University in Flint, Michigan.
"What makes the regional section meetings so useful is the fact that they provide a venue and training ground for future physicists," Rablau said. "We offer a very friendly environment in which undergraduate and graduate physics students can present their work without the pressure of presenting in front of the biggest names in the field like they might do at a national meeting."
One such student who has benefitted from the regional meetings is the OSAPS current Student-at-Large (SAL) and University of Cincinnati physics graduate student Masoud Kaveh. Kaveh was elected to the two-year SAL position last April and has since collected a mountain of email addresses as a way to reach fellow physics graduate students across the Midwest. About one third of the roughly 1500 OSAPS members are students.
"As the Student-at-Large, I want to be the voice for fellow students and colleagues and encourage students to become OSAPS members and attend the meetings," Kaveh said. "The meetings have given me a chance to meet with professionals in my area of research that I couldn't have met with, or would have had a harder time meeting, and I feel more confident in myself and [my] capabilities to network now than ever before."
OSAPS also participates in outreach activities, the most prominent being the annual TechFest event, which Yaney, together with the Affiliate Societies Council of Dayton, started in 2003. The family-friendly event features hands-on demonstrations in many scientific disciplines including physical, environmental and life sciences, with the purpose to spark scientific interest in children. Over 50,000 people attended this year's event.
"Our goal is to keep members involved as much as possible," Rablau said. "You cannot emphasize enough the importance of presenting your scientific research. For the future I would like to see our membership grow to include more students who can learn to present their work to the science community as well as the public."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/4/2013 (1580 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I was feeling pretty proud of myself when I arrived home Wednesday night.
Not only had my team of local media personalities thrashed its way to a dramatic victory in the Winnipeg Wine Festival's annual Celebrity Grape Stomp in support of Special Olympics Manitoba -- my third straight win in a charity competition, if you must know -- but I managed to escape with all of my limbs and internal organs intact.
The thing is, while taking off your shoes, climbing into a barrel and stomping around in an erratic manner may sound like a non-lethal way to help raise funds and awareness for a good cause, it is also an activity fraught with peril.
A lot of things can happen to you when you are forced to spend two (bad word) minutes flailing around inside a grape-filled barrel, and most of them are bad, such as:
1) Due to the fact you are on an all-cheeseburger diet and have not exercised on a regular basis since the Liberals were in power, your heart, pounding like the drummer for a heavy metal band, will attempt to escape from your chest cavity like the drooling creature in the sci-fi classic Alien and then skitter around the floor in search of hors d'oeuvres;
2) You will break your big toe by smashing it into the side of the barrel, a fact you will not discover until you get out of the barrel because those (bad word) grapes are so (bad word) cold that your feet have been turned into two Hobbit-sized blocks of ice, but when someone shrieks and points at the floor, you will discover your mangled digit now resembles a mutant black-and-purple eggplant. Historical footnote: When you show your disfigured toe to your spouse, instead of sympathy, she will look at you and snort: "You're an idiot!"
3) After climbing out of the barrel, coated in a thick mucus-like layer of grape slime, you will briefly feel relieved because you have survived two minutes of intense cardiopulmonary exercise, but that feeling will evaporate when you slip on a huge puddle of grape juice, fly through the air and land flat on your back, mildly concussed and hugely embarrassed. Historical footnote: It is entirely possible this actually happened to a wine columnist at this newspaper, but I am too classy a columnist to mention that just to get a cheap laugh.
Getting back to my central point, when I arrived home Wednesday, I was feeling pretty smug, a fact I wanted to share with my long-suffering wife, She Who Must Not Be Named, who happened to be luxuriating in a hot bath at the time.
"HONEY!" I shouted, rapping on the bathroom door. "My team won the grape stomp for Special Olympics."
There was a brief pause. "That's nice, dear," is what my wife replied, her voice floating out from the tub, carried along on a cloud of steam.
"Honey," I sniffed, proudly, "I didn't even hurt myself this time."
There was another pause. "That's nice, dear," came her reply, in the sort of flat tone you would employ if you were having a heart-to-heart with a propane barbecue.
I felt a little disappointed, though, truthfully, I'm not sure what reaction I was expecting. A few years ago, when I returned home with a painful bruise in the buttocular region after a mishap while attempting a manoeuvre known as the "Fireman" during a pole-dancing class, I turned to my wife for sympathy. "You're an idiot!" was her medical opinion at the time.
Anyway, while my wife soaked, I drifted into the kitchen, looking to heal my wounded pride, with a late-night snack, and that's when I was violently attacked by our fridge. I wish I was kidding about this, but I am not.
You see, my wife wanted a brand-new fridge, but I said no way, so she replaced our perfectly fine old fridge with a slightly newer fridge a friend no longer wanted, but the problem is the freezer door on this replacement fridge refuses to stay closed and will, at random moments of its own choosing, fling itself open, which is what it did when I wandered into the kitchen, which is how I got walloped in the (bad word) face by the (bad word) freezer door, which caused me, a person who is easily startled at the best of times, to shriek ("WAAAAH!!!) like someone with a vital appendage caught in a bear trap.
This is when my wife, fresh from the bath, strolled in to see what I'd done wrong. I rubbed my face and glared at her.
"We need a new (extremely bad word) fridge!" I snorted indignantly.
A smile played on her lips. "I love you, dear," she finally cooed, then skipped away and climbed into bed.

WOONSOCKET, R.I. — Country music star Ty Herndon and former NFL player Kevin Turner will join amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients Thursday evening at Fenway Park to celebrate the success of CVS/pharmacy's annual in-store fundraising campaign to support the fight against ALS.
The $4.3 million generated by this year's campaign brings the total amount raised by CVS/pharmacy colleagues and customers for ALS research to more than $27 million.
ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a disorder in which there is progressive degeneration of motor nerves in the brain and spinal cord leading to paralysis and death, typically within three to five years. There is no known cause or cure for ALS, which affects 25,000 Americans, with 5,000 new cases diagnosed each year.
Three-of-the-4 men gathering at Fenway prior to the baseball game between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees share a diagnosis of ALS: Turner, who played eight seasons in the NFL for the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles throughout the 1990s; Treg Charlton, a regional director of real estate for CVS Caremark; and Barry Winovich, who is Charlton's friend since elementary school.
Grammy-nominated country music star Herndon joins the group as celebrity sponsor — along with Turner — of the CVS/pharmacy "Researching a Cure" fundraising campaign. Charlton and Winovich are co-chairs of the campaign.
All four men will participate in pregame traditions to mark funds raised by the campaign, including an on-field check presentation to ALS Therapy Alliance, an organization dedicated to advancing ALS research; a ceremonial first pitch thrown out by Charlton; and the singing of the National Anthem by Herndon whose song "Journey On" is the official song of the Kevin Turner Foundation and the CVS/pharmacy "Researching a Cure" fundraising campaign.
This year's CVS/pharmacy in-store "Researching a Cure" campaign ran from June 5 through June 25. Those still interested in helping to donate $5 to ALS research can do so by texting KICKALS to 20222.

Did you know?
Rietvlei is home to a rare peat wetland – an excellent water filter.
Just south of Pretoria (also often called Tshwane) is a lovely natural haven, a land of water called the Rietvlei Nature Reserve.
It is named for the dam at its centre, the source of around 20% of Pretoria's drinking water. The dam itself has a somewhat sentimental history. It was built during the Great Depression years and manual labourers were paid four shillings a day – not a fortune by any means, but the work was eagerly taken up.
Mule carts were used to remove the soil – and mule shoes are still uncovered here from time to time.
Still, that's not why people come here. It's for the peace, and the chance to see wild animals like rhinos, somewhat elusive cheetah, buffalo, black wildebeest, blesbok (their ancestors originally came from General Jan Smuts' farm), zebras, waterbuck, reedbuck and oribi. There's also a separate lion encampment you can visit (with a guide).
It's a popular day-trip destination for those interested in game-viewing, walks, cycling, angling and bird watching. Within the 3 800-hectare reserve, there are around 240 bird species to be seen, and it's an ideal place to put in a pleasant few hours' birding.
In addition, you can go for horse rides here – either longish ones, for which you will need to book, or little half hour outrides leaving from the coffee shop. You could even book an overnight ride.
If you're keen on birds, you're likely to see plenty of aquatic species like the African fish eagle, half-collared and giant kingfishers, and purple gallinule. You'll also find grassland specials like the grass owl, spikeheeled lark, buffy pipit and orange-throated longclaw.
History buffs may want to look out for a stone rampart originally built by British troops during the South African War (also known as the Anglo-Boer War). This is also where they installed a cannon during the second occupation of Pretoria.

What will it cost
Entrance fees are approx R40 per person. If you want to go on a tour of the lion camp, it will cost you the same again, and you go with a guide.
Length of stay
This is a lovely day or half-day trip.
Where to stay
Irene, the region closest to Rietvlei, has some delightful guesthouses and a hotel. Otherwise Pretoria has many options.

A BAND of heavy rain, snow and wind has led to disruption in South Lakeland this afternoon.
The Met Office has issued 'yellow alerts' for rain and wind from today through to Sunday.
High tide at Sandside led to more flooding misery for residents and heavy snow has shut roads in the area.
Police have advised drivers to avoid the following roads as they are currently closed, or the snow has created potentially dangerous road conditions:
• The Corney Fell Road at Corney, Millom - Motorists are asked to use the main A595 road when travelling south until further notice.
• A591 – Dunmail Rise
• A592 – Kirkstone Pass
• A593 – Skelwith Bridge, Ambleside - Emergency services are attending to assist in a road traffic collision between two vehicles. No injuries reported at this time, believed to be due to weather conditions.
There are also reports of hazardous driving conditions on the A5087 at Bardsea.
Heavy rain is forecast, with the possibility of snow over higher ground, particularly in east/northeast Cumbria.
Strong winds are also expected over Saturday and Sunday which, combined with high tides, could lead to coastal flooding caused by large waves and spray.
A spokesperson from the Met Office said: "A band of heavy rain, will spread eastwards across the rest of northern Britain today.
"The rain will be preceded by snow for a time.
"At these levels, the snow combined with gales is expected to give some very poor travelling conditions, whilst at lower levels there is a risk of localised flooding."
Heavy rain on already saturated ground will also heighten the risk of river and surface water flooding across the region.
Cumbria Police and partner agencies are urging people to be prepared and avoid going near harbours or promenades during this period for their own safety.
Police are also urging people, especially those living in areas prone to flooding, to remain vigilant.
Keep an eye on local weather reports and keep up to date with flood alerts and warnings by visiting the Environment Agency website at www.environment-agency.gov.uk/flood
Call Floodline to sign up for Flood Alerts Direct, search for 'Flood Warnings' on Facebook and follow the Environment Agency on Twitter @EnvAgencyNW.
If you see the roads in your area starting to flood with a build-up of surface water, please contact Cumbria County Council's Highways Hotline on 0845 609 6609 or email email@example.com.

I'm about to reveal the secret to prize-winning deviled eggs: curry powder. For real. No one expects the combination of eggs and curry and when you serve these, expect reactions like, "These are incredible, but what's in them?" And should you happen to have a deviled egg competition at your office, you'd probably tie for first place if you entered with a curried deviled egg.
Regardless of any competition, you'll surely be involved in some holiday revelry in the coming weeks, and if you have a meatless diet — on Mondays or always — you're used to suffering at holiday parties, camped out next to the crudites, watching all of the meat-lovers feasting on sliders, bacon-wrapped scallops and sausage-stuffed mushrooms. Don't let that happen this year. Pick up a dozen eggs and make an appetizer that will delight vegetarians and have meat-lovers shunning the platter of mini meatballs.
Kelsey Nixon's Curried Deviled Eggs
12 large eggs, cold
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt
Finely chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Put the cold eggs (straight from the refrigerator) in the bottom of a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan and let stand for 12 minutes.
Drain the eggs and rinse with cold water. Let the eggs cool a bit, and then peel while they are still warm (they are much easier to peel this way). After you peel them, you can then store them, covered, in the refrigerator.
Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, curry powder, mustard powder, cayenne and paprika. Season with salt.
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Spoon out the cooked yolks and transfer to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Mash together with the tongs of a fork until smooth. Alternatively, you can press the yolks through a fine sieve over the bowl and stir together.
Spoon the filling into the egg whites, or you can put the filling into a re-sealable bag, cut one end off and pipe it in. Garnish with paprika and chives before serving.
These are vegetarian, but not vegan (obviously — they are eggs), so if you're expecting vegans at your holiday party, or if you just like a good, garlicky dip, make some hummus.

PENSACOLA, Fla. – Four days after going 4-for-4 with a home run to help his team finish off a sweep of Florida Southern, Saint Leo senior first baseman Michael Revell was named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) South Region Player of the Week, it was announced Wednesday.
The power hitting first baseman from Havana, Fla. led the Lions to four wins, including an SSC series sweep against Florida Southern. Revell batted .667 (10-for-15) with 13 RBI and seven runs. He hit safely in all four contests and tallied multiple hits in three. Revell also blasted six extra-base hits en route to a healthy 1.237 slugging percentage.
In a 19-1 win over FSC in the second game of the series, he went 3-for-4 with three doubles and two RBI. Revell struck again in the series finale, going a perfect 4-for-4 with a home run and a triple to drive home five runs. He concluded his week with a .667 on-base percentage and .971 fielding mark.
Revell finished the year with a .355 batting average with a team-high six home runs and a team-high 48 RBI.

Half-centuries from Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik steered Pakistan to a tense five-wicket win in the first Twenty20 International against India in Bangalore.
The tourists looked in serious trouble at 12-3 in pursuit of a target of 134, debutant Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3-9) doing all the early damage in the first bilateral series between the two neighbouring countries in five years.
However, skipper Hafeez and all-rounder Malik got Pakistan's chase back on target, the pair putting on a fourth-wicket stand of 106 that looked to have them cruising to victory.
In the end they had to work harder than they might have expected, though, with Hafeez's departure for 61 - having hit two sixes and six fours - leading to a late wobble.
Kamran Akmal came and went cheaply but Malik (57 not out) held his nerve in the final over. He duly dispatched the left-arm spin of Ravindra Jadeja down the ground for a six, seeing Pakistan over the line with two balls to spare.
India had looked well set to post a more challenging target after being put into bat when they reached 77 without loss in the 11th over, Ajinkya Rahane leading the way with a breezy 42.
But his departure, to the leg spin of Shahid Afridi, sparked a collapse. Opening partner Gautam Gambhir fell shortly after for 43, and only two other Indian batsmen managed to reach double figures.
Having at one stage been well-placed on 90-1, the hosts lost eight wickets for 34 in the face of some tight bowling. Saeed Ajmal took 2-25 from his four overs, the spinner claiming the key scalps of Mahendra Singh Dhoni (one) and Suresh Raina, who was bowled for 10.
Umar Gul then finished the innings in style for Pakistan, dismissing Jadeja and Ishant Sharma in successive deliveries to finish with figures of 3-21, an impressive effort considering his first over had gone for 13 runs.
The T20I series concludes in Ahmedabad on December 28. The two nations then play three one-dayers, starting in Chennai on December 30.

Diana, the mother of Prince William, passed away from car crash injuries at 12.20 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 31, 1997.
Sixteen years later, British police are investigating a claim that the SAS, a special forces unit of the UK military, may have been involved in the tragic accident, despite more than one official probe concluding that Diana's drunken driver and pursuing paparazzi were to blame for the crash in a Paris tunnel.
But Sue Reid, special investigations editor at the Daily Mail, thinks the new claim might not be as crazy as we think. (And I do think it's crazy, but I couldn't resist the graphic explaining Reid's theory.) Continue reading

Marcum hurt by big innings in loss to Pirates
Right-hander can't escape fifth frame for third time in three starts
NEW YORK -- For nearly a month, the Mets waited as Shaun Marcum nursed the various maladies of his right arm back to health. They knew health might be an issue with Marcum, who missed large chunks of his career due to shoulder and elbow issues. But they assumed that when healthy, Marcum could help their rotation.
Three starts into his abbreviated season, he has done only the opposite. Serving up six runs on Friday night at Citi Field, Marcum could not escape the fifth inning for the third time in three outings, dropping the Mets to a 7-3 loss to the Pirates.
Marcum became the first pitcher to last fewer than five innings in each of his first three starts with the Mets.
"I think that Shaun tried to hurry through his rehab and tried to get up here because he knew we needed help," manager Terry Collins said. "We've just got to run him out there again."
For a time, it seemed as if Marcum might not even make it as long as he did. The Pirates began shooting balls all over Citi Field in the second inning, beginning with Garrett Jones' double, Jose Tabata's hit and an RBI knock from Pedro Alvarez.
After Michael McKenry's double, pitcher Wandy Rodriguez smacked a run-scoring line drive off Marcum's non-pitching wrist, prompting multiple trips to the mound from trainer Ray Ramirez and ultimately an X-ray, which was negative. But Marcum stayed in the game, inducing a ground ball that Ruben Tejada double-clutched while throwing to first. Starling Marte beat Tejada's delayed throw, allowing a third run to score as the Pirates batted around in the inning.
"I feel good," Marcum said. "The thing is, I'm just not making pitches. When you don't throw 95, the balls up in the zone are going to get hit. The main thing I've got to get back to is locating the ball down in the zone."
Marcum did that for a time, retiring seven in a row before abruptly ending that streak on a leadoff hit batsman in the fifth. Jordy Mercer followed with a single, and Jones hit a replay-reviewed, three-run homer off the right-field wall.
The final damage against Marcum was six runs on nine hits over 4 2/3 innings. His fastest pitch of the evening came in at 87 miles per hour; mostly, Marcum sat in the low- to mid-80s.
"He was out there battling, giving it everything he had," catcher Anthony Recker said. "A couple pitches just missed a couple spots, and we weren't really on the same page."
It did not help that the Mets finished 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position against Rodriguez, touching the lefty for one run in six innings. That came on Recker's leadoff homer in the fifth, one of three leadoff hits the Mets accrued. David Wright provided the other two, but found himself stranded in scoring position each time.
"It's weird how things seem to equal out," Wright said, referencing his team's hot start to the season. "It seems like we have one or two opportunities a game to score runs, and if we don't do it then, then we don't do it."
Significant offense did not come for the Mets until the ninth inning, when Jordany Valdespin homered and Andrew Brown singled in another run. But it was far too little, far too late for the Mets, thanks in large part to Marcum's early struggles.
Well aware of the right-hander's injury history when they signed him to a one-year deal this winter, the Mets loaded Marcum's contract with incentives based on innings pitched and days spent on the disabled list. But they still guaranteed him $4 million, believing he could replace a significant chunk of the innings that R.A. Dickey took with him to Toronto.
That vision clouded midway through Spring Training, when Marcum began missing time with an injury that evolved from an impingement in his right shoulder, to nerve inflammation in his neck, to right biceps tendinitis. No matter the ailment, the Mets were glad to have Marcum back when he finally made his Mets debut in the final days of April.
Then he went out and gave up 18 runs over his first three starts, lasting a total of 13 innings in those outings. Marcum's season ERA, which includes an extra-inning relief appearance last week in Miami, is up to 8.59.
"Usually when I get hit pretty hard, it's because I'm missing location," Marcum said. "It's just a matter of going out and doing it in a game."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - lorida Gov. Rick Scott is calling for another increase in spending on public schools in the coming year, although his latest request is less than half of what he pushed for in 2013.
Scott on Monday will ask state legislators to boost spending on public schools this fall by $542 million.
Last year Scott wanted a $1.2 billion increase that included enough money to grant teachers a $2,500 pay raise. Teachers wound up getting raises, although not all of them got the exact amount promised by the governor.
But the Scott administration maintains that this year's funding request is enough to boost overall public school funding to "historic" levels of nearly $19 billion. That total includes both local and state tax money.
"We need to provide the tools, training and funding to give our students the best chance for success, " Scott said in a statement.
Scott will outline his education budget recommendations during a stop in Delray Beach. The governor is scheduled to release his complete budget Wednesday. He already has rolled out several recommendations, including his pitch to cut overall taxes and fees by $500 million.
During his first year in office, Scott called for a cut in overall spending in schools along with large tax cuts. The Republican-led Legislature did not go along with Scott's tax cuts and they whittled down the size of the education cuts to slightly more than $1 billion.
This year's education budget recommendations from Scott will include $8.4 million in professional development for principals and assistant principals as well as $5 million for training and technical assistance for teachers related to the implementation of contentious new state standards. Florida is putting in place standards largely based on "Common Core State Standards" for all grade levels during the next school year.
The standards have been criticized as being part of a "federal intrusion" into state education and a strategy to force children to take more high-stakes testing. Much of the criticism has come from conservative activists and some members of the Republican Party of Florida.
Scott's budget request for education will also include $2 billion for state colleges and $3.59 billion for the state university system. The budget request for state universities includes $40 million for so-called performance funding that would tie monetary awards to how well universities perform in several categories.

Opened in 1962, the 311-acre Rocklin Campus is nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills minutes from Sacramento along Interstate 80. The campus is located in South Placer County, one of the most rapidly growing areas in California.
More than fifty buildings dot the campus, ranging from classrooms to technology laboratories to student centers. The four-story Learning Resources Center is the most visible structure.
Excellent athletic facilities, including a twisting cross country course and the new Ostrom Football Stadium, ring the campus. The campus is beautifully landscaped and the fall colors are unforgettable.
The Standing Guard Memorial Garden is a highlight. This Japanese-style garden was built in remembrance of Placer County Japanese Americans who were interned during World War II and to honor Japanese American veterans. The Sierra College Natural History Museum has one of the most extensive regional collections of natural history and scientific displays.
Campus nature trails wind through 70 acres of local foothill oak woodland and the streamside communities along Secret Ravine. Visitors may refresh their spirits by observing birds; enjoying the sounds of a babbling brook; the rustling of the wind; and spotting local animal life. The trail's vernal pools include those made from 19th century gold excavation sites in the northeastern portion of the campus, and a man-made demonstration pool near the cactus and rock garden of Sewell Hall.
The Sierra College West Arboretum maintains a living collection of Californian native plant specimens and the East Arboretum hosts a wider variety of horticultural and worldwide species.
In the interest of public health Sierra Joint Community College District is a smoke-free and tobacco-free District. The smoking of any substance and the use of any form of tobacco is prohibited at all times.
A $3 parking fee applies Monday through Friday, but there is no charge for parking on campus Friday at 4:00 p.m. through Sunday at 11:00 p.m. See posted signs for the location of ticket dispensing machines.

On April 24th The Hotline reported on a political endorsement penned by Maya Angelou, entitled an open letter to friends. In this letter she clearly affirmed her choice of endorsing Hillary for president.
"I am supporting Hillary Clinton because I know that she will make the most positive difference in people's lives and she will help our country become what it can be. Whether you are her supporter, leaning towards her, undecided, or supporting someone else, I believe Hillary Clinton will represent you – she will be a president for all Americans. It is no small thing that along the way we will make history together."
While I am not a supporter of Hilary for various reasons, I support the right of Ms. Angelou to publicly declare her choice of candidate.
The current presidential election has forced the nation to open a dialog on race and gender. This is a particularly difficult position for black women, as they must negotiate both, and often simultaneously. This was made even more clear to me when I read the response at Brown Sugar to Ms. Angelous endorsement.
"Sigh. I'm done. I'm so tired of Black folk with slave mentality's I don't know what to do. This is just ridiculous. I supposed if Clinton had called her a Nigger to her face she'd still be talking about, "She is able to look through complexion and see community."
When will Black folk learn."
There are many ways in which Ms.Brown could have chosen to critique Maya's choice of political candidate. She could have expressed her displeasure with the endorsement by commenting on Clintons voting record, statements to the press, or even her actions when she was first lady. Instead Ms.Brown immediately chose to frame the debate in race. Through the use of inflammatory language Ms.Brown sought to create a hierarchy of oppression, wherein black women to avoid being called a traitor must always choose to identify with race over gender. Maya Angelou is both black and female, why does supporting one part of her identity immediately make her a traitor to her race? This attempt at stigmatizing the body reinforces the idea that a monolithic black woman exists.
When a black woman is being beaten by her black husband, is it because of her race or her gender? When a black woman finds herself pregnant with a child that she does not want, is it because of her race or her gender? There are clearly issues that black women must deal with simply because of being born female. Not every issue pertains solely to race. To deny that gender effects us, is to create a one dimensional un-woman. We do not exist as binaries…black or female, in fact we inhabit both spaces. To deny one facet of ones identity is to limit expression, freedom, happiness and the souls ability to transcend.

Relax and unwind with west elm's selection of outdoor pillows and cushions. Whether you are looking for versatile throw pillows that add color and character to your patio furniture, or outdoor dining chair cushions that make al fresco dining a more comfortable and pleasurable experience, you are sure to find something suited to your requirements.
Before browsing the available options, take a moment to consider how you use your outdoor space, and what you hope to achieve with your decor. If you have a pool surrounded by loungers, and you want to create a serene, spa-like ambience, consider something with a natural tone, such as stone or gray. However, if you want to heighten the sense of fun for the family, something bright and brilliant is a good option. Adding some whimsical fish-pattern throw pillows around the pool, or introducing green cushions in a secluded area with some planters and dense foliage, creates a thematically cohesive setting that perfectly integrates your decor with the rest of the environment. Whatever theme you choose, ensure it is something you are going to enjoy for the foreseeable future.
You should also consider the flow of your house, and the way in which you transition from indoor to outdoor environments. If you pass through your living room to reach your outside seating area, consider repeating colors or patterns from your living room in your outside decor. For example, if you have a traditional home that makes use of floral prints and wooden furniture, continue those themes in your patio furnishings; while if you have a modern home, cushions or pillows with geometric prints are an excellent option for maintaining that style. Alternatively, choose versatile pillows that are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. This helps to create a unified look with a pleasing transition, and integrates all aspects of your home.
Comfort is a primary concern, as soft furnishings are a quick and effective way to transform a hard wooden bench or lounger into a welcoming spot to chill out with a cold drink on a hot day. A luxurious poly foam-filled lounger cushion is the ideal solution for ensuring your time by the pool is just as relaxing as your time in the water, letting you float away in a daydream while you top up your tan; and by adding cushions to your outdoor dining furniture you create an inviting space suitable for family gatherings and entertaining guests, which makes a refreshing alternative to using your dining room.
Many outdoor pillows and patio cushions are weather resistant, comprising durable materials that reduce the effect of exposure to direct sunlight and light rain. Look for hardwearing, stain-resistant fabrics, particularly for use with outside dining furniture where there is an increased risk of spills. When the cushions are not in use, it is important to keep them covered to prevent fading and reduce the risk of damp. Storing them in a shed or summer house is an obvious solution, but if you do not have a convenient storage location, invest in some furniture covers. These weather resistant covers comprise a durable polyester layer backed with thermoplastic rubber, and once you have slipped them over the top of your furniture, they provide protection from wind, rain, snow and direct sunlight.
With the right outdoor furniture and soft furnishings, it is possible to transform your yard or garden, creating comfortable and intimate areas for enjoying time with your family, or turning a patio into a useful space for parties. Introduce a parasol, a grill and some lanterns, and look forward to many long, hot summer evenings in your very own private vacation spot.

I saw this recipe and it makes me want a biscuit right now!ReplyDeleteReplies
:) Mouth watering right?Delete
These look so amazing! I always love your recipes... even linked you on my blog for food inspiration!!ReplyDelete
Thank you for the link. I will absolutely follow along on your blog. Thanks for linking us together.Delete
I hope you don't mind...I Pinned this on my recipe board! OH MY can't wait to try these out on my family!!! Thank you so much on your step by step! You make it look like something I CAN do!! :)ReplyDelete
Janet, would this recipe work with 100% whole wheat flour? Also, is there an acceptable non-dairy substitute for the buttermilk, say coconut milk?ReplyDelete
I just love drooling over your photos! Thank you for making this blog!Replies
I just KNEW I was going to get asked this question! I actually worked the answer out to this question in my mind. Hmmm would I actually think that I needed a whole wheat biscuit??? Is it worth it to take something not particularly healthy and try to make it healthy? For me...probably not. I'm adding a boat load of butter so what's the use. So to truly answer your question I think you could start off by making the bisciut 50% white and 50% whole wheat. If you use the coconut milk, I think you could omit the baking soda. The acid in the buttermilk requires the use of baking soda. So give it a try and let us all know what you think.Delete
Thanks, Janet! I will.Delete
These look like something I need to make. I am a big buttermilk fan. Recipe Printed!Replies
I hope you love them.Delete
I just might have to make these this weekend (or maybe ask my husband to do it - it being Mother's Day weekend and all). :) Is your buttermilk in the blue canning jar in the first photo? If so, did you make it yourself? If so, how?!? Please post about it if you did. :)ReplyDelete
Happy Mother's Day!Replies
Oh yes, I did make my own buttermilk. I meant to mention that along with the link. Give it a try super simple. http://www.balticmaid.com/2012/01/home-cultured-buttermilk/Delete
I hope someone makes you biscuits for mothers day.

I just pulled a batch of these out of the oven! They look so beautiful that I had to take pics. I will send them if you like! Took my first bite and had to go sit down. We'll have these with poached eggs and sausage gravy for brunch. Dinner will be those Jalapeno Cheddar burgers of yours. I just want to let you know that I've NEVER had a recipe of yours let me down. Thanks so much for bringing joy into our household. Happy Mother's Day!ReplyDeleteReplies
I would love to see pics! Your brunch sounds amazing I wish I would have been sitting at your table. I'm so happy you enjoy the recipes that means a lot to me. You made my day!Delete

not only I love your (choice of) recipes but I love how you write them & how they are photographied. You're becoming one of my favorite food blogs !ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for your kind comment. My dream was to have at least one French follower...the ultimate compliment. I hope I don't disappoint you.Delete
After 11 years of marriage, my Southern husband finally told me that I "made a real biscuit!", thanks to this recipe! These were perfect! So tall and flaky and delicious. I used nonfat buttermilk and they were amazing. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for commenting. I love to hear success stories.Delete
- Natalie6/26/12, 11:58 PM
I love following your blog! Your recipes inspire me to cook and entertain :) I was wondering if the cloth you use under your dough is some special cloth?ReplyDeleteReplies
I purchased my cloth at a local cooking store. It is just canvas fabric with the edges surged. You can purchase some canvas at a fabric store. I have made a few and I haven't taken the time to sew the edges. They shrink after being washed so cut accordingly. They are just awesome. The cloth absorbs the flour so the dough doesn't. I love mine. I so happy to have you following. thank you for your kind comment.Delete
quick question about your food prep (but not pertaining to actual food)... WHERE DID YOU GET THAT GORGEOUS BOWL???ReplyDeleteReplies
That lovely bowl is a Mason Cash bowl. I just love it and can kick myself for not buying more. They are made in England and are pretty tough to find these days. Every now and then they will just pop us somewhere. Love them.Delete
Janet, I tried making the biscuits per your advise, and they turned out great! Thanks for the help!ReplyDeleteReplies
Whew! That's always such a relief to hear success stories. Thank you for your comment.Delete
- Anonymous11/17/12, 10:15 PM
Do you think I could make these using a buttermilk subsitute of whole milk and vingar or does it need real buttermilk?ReplyDeleteReplies
I think you could try the milk and vinegar. It's a great substitute for buttermilk.Delete

Hello! ,i love your blog and i made these biscuits tonight! Hands down the best biscuits i have ever had or made! Every recipe i have tried of yours is amazing! I'm in Las Vegas, i don't know if they have a hash house ago go in Utah but they do here and they have really good huge biscuits. These reminded me of them! Thank you so much for a great recipe. Where did you get the recipe? Or did you create it yourself??ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1/31/13, 10:32 PM
I just discovered your blog!! I have made that fabulous crusty bread in regular and rye a couple of days ago-- have you listened to it crackle when it first comes out of the oven! That is an awesome recipe. In the morning I'm making these biscuits. Have you tried substituting coconut oil for any of the butter? It makes great pie crust! As it is so healthy I'm trying to use it in more recipes. I'm making the biscuit recipe as written in the morning but will exchange some of the butter for coconut oil in the second batch. Thanks for sharing such great recipes-- all of them look sooooo good!Replies
I'm so glad you discovered me. I can't wait to hear how the coconut oil works out in the biscuits. I love using coconut oil and need to incorporate it more in my recipes. Thanks for the reminder and let me know how your biscuits turn out.Delete
I made these last night for our 4th of July cookout - great, great, great! Thanks for posting the recipe :)ReplyDeleteReplies
What a great idea. I'm so glad you were happy with the recipe.Delete
I'm at 7500 ft and at 13 min they are starting to burn on the bottom and are golden brown but not quite done inside! Help :/ReplyDelete
I just made these with wheat flour and the high altitude adaptation (minus 1 tsp. sugar also) and baked 22 minutes. Fabulous does not even begin to describe how wonderful they are. And we made some sausage gravy to go with it...amazing...I think I may love you :) YUM!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh my! This sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing.Delete
Oh my.....ReplyDelete
I just made this recipe (for high altitude, and used vitamin D milk with vinegar instead of buttermilk - I am in Colorado Springs at a little over 6000 ft...)
I am SO impressed. I have been trying biscuit recipes for almost 3 years. These are the best yet! I wish I could post a picture!!! MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! Thanks for a great recipe and great instructions!
- Anonymous2/6/14, 11:20 AM
I made these twice now, following directions word for word but each time the biscuits came out tough. They look.and smell fabulous but come out too chewy. I tried being even more gentle with the dough the second time around and still the same results. I still ate them, but im not giving up, gonna try again soon.ReplyDeleteReplies
I have learned that all flours are not created equal. When I have problems with baking that's where I start. Especially if you have handled the dough with such care. Sometimes adding a little pastry flour or bread flour can help. You may want to start with adding maybe 50%. I hope this solves your problem. let me know if you try again and what flour you use. Good luckDelete
These look awesome! I love your blog and recipes. You explain everything so well that even we novices feel empowered. Thank you, thank you. PaulaReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, Paula. I really appreciate your positive comment. You CAN do this. I hope you give the biscuits a try.Delete
Hi, I tried this but as I do not have buttermilk, I used milk instead, omitting the baking soda. But my biscuits didn't really raise tall n high. Is it because of the milk?ReplyDelete
Taste is ok though. My girls still like them with jam. But its a bit blend on its own.
Hi Irene, You can "sour" milk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Stir, let it sit for about 5 minutes. You can use this is place of the buttermilk. Go ahead and add the baking soda. This should solve the problem...I hope. If not, set me a note and we can figure this out together. Happy baking!Delete
I live in Boulder county, Colorado, so I went with only 1 Tablespoon of baking powder as directed. They came out so big and tall! I ended up with only about 20 minutes due to my oven's hot spot... Will definitely make again. I used a food processor to combine the butter once it was already cut up into small pieces. It made 9 big ones. I didn't cut them very evenly and they were really all great anyway. Thanks for a great recipe!! All the pictures really help. I need one of those dough measuring things.ReplyDeleteReplies
Wahoo! Thanks for your comment. I love hearing success stories. My daughter lives in Parker, CO and is still trying to figure out the altitude. Doesn't matter the shape or size just as long as they taste fabulous.Delete
- Anonymous2/4/15, 5:03 PM
Does wheat work in these biscuits?ReplyDelete
Thank you.Replies
Wheat flour would make them heavier, of course. It's worth a try. I would use winter white hard wheat flour, if available. If the seem too heavy you could try a 50/50 blend.Delete
I made it and it was very yummy. Thanks for the recipe. Even my son who hates jams actually really liked it.ReplyDelete

How many bisquits does this recipe make?ReplyDelete

How many bisquits does this make?ReplyDeleteReplies
This makes about a dozen (12), but I roll the dough quite thick. The dough can be rolled thinner and you could probably get about 18.Delete

Police have charged John Wesley Mosley Jr., 65, of the 700 block of Essex Avenue, with burning his neighbor's house yesterday.
Mosley is charged with attempted first degree murder, first-degree arson and first-degree assault. He is held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
BCoFD and BCoPD responded yesterday at 9:02 a.m. to a fire at the home of Mosley's next-door neighbor. The neighbor, who was rescued by a police officer and another neighbor, was injured in the one-alarm fire and transported to a local hospital but is expected to survive.
The investigation, which is ongoing, shows that Mosley became involved in an argument with the victim yesterday morning, just before the fire. The victim told investigators she was calling police when she heard a loud noise and saw fire and shattering windows. The victim and other witnesses told police that Mosley's behavior has been strange lately; for example, neighbors said they have seen him yelling outside his house.
Because of the victim's description of the fire, police investigated the possibility that an incendiary device was involved. A search warrant executed yesterday at Mosley's home found no hazardous materials on the property. Based on a positive reaction from an accelerant-sniffing dog, investigators believe that an accelerant was used to start the fire.
Police have sent Mosley for emergency evaluations twice in the past, in 1995 and 1996.
The investigation of yesterday's fire shows that Mosley and the victim have been neighbors for many years, with no history of trouble. Police responded to Essex Avenue twice in the last month to investigate a suspicious condition. In both cases, the reports to police involved complaints from neighbors about Mosley's behavior, and in both cases Mosley refused to talk to police.
BCoPD's Mobile Crisis Unit -- which responds when someone appears to be in crisis or suffering from a mental illness -- responded to Mosley's home on February 2. Mobile Crisis officers provided advice to Mosley's neighbors (the victim and her friend, who was not at home at the time of Tuesday's fire) and attempted to speak with Mosley.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. - Southfield police have released a picture of a man they are calling a person of interest in the shooting death of a 33-year-old woman.
Nicole Riggs was killed March 31 when she was hit by gunfire at Myst Ultra Lounge.
She was at the club with relatives attending a birthday party when a group of men were kicked out of the club for fighting.
While in the parking lot, the men fired several shots.
Police said the person of interest they are working to find was involved in that fight. He may be driving a white minivan or white conversion van, police said.
Anyone with information on the man in the picture is asked to call Southfield police at 248-796-5500 or Crime Stoppers at 800-SPEAKUP.
Victim leaves behind family
Leon Riggs had been married to Nicole for 10 years. He says she was a loving mother.
"I have to explain to my 13-year-old now that his mother is never coming home," he said.
Leon Riggs says his wife was an innocent bystander and she had nothing to do with the fight. He says she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Xan Yae is the Baklunish goddess of Twilight, Shadows, Stealth, and Mental Power. She was served by the demigod, Zuoken, before he vanished in 505 CY. She is a close ally of the Cat Lord, Rexfelis, and opposes Pholtus and Pyremius.
Clergy and templesEdit
Though a Baklunish goddess, Xan Yae has some measure of popularity throughout the Flanaess, especially among monks.
One of Xan Yae's better-known monasteries beyond the Baklunish Basin is the Twilight Monastery, located three hours northwest of Diamond Lake in the Cairn Hills.
