Out of about 3,350 limericks, acrostics and everything in between, Karin Bradberry's "Javelina" took first place in the Writer's Digest 5th Annual Poetry Awards competition, laying claim to $500 and a copy of Poet's Market. Writer's Market editor and in-house poetry guru Robert Lee Brewer selected the grand-prize entry from among the finalists.
"I loved 'Javelina' for a few reasons," he says. " 'Javelina' is a villanelle, but it's a loose villanelle, which allows the poet to work within an established form but not be confined by the form. At the same time, this poem paints a picture of a family enjoying a day in nature in a way nature intended."
The contest was open to poems of any style that were original, unpublished and 32 lines or fewer. The top 50 entries will be printed in a special collection, available for $11.95. Click here to order the collection. To find out how to enter the next competition, visit writersdigest.com/poetryawards.

Join us for a night delving into the continuing Count Dante phenomenon. Filmmaker Floyd Webb will discuss his film and the Count Dante legend and then introduce Bob Calhoun, who will read from his punk wrestling memoir and sign copies of his book Beer, Blood and Cornmeal: Seven Years of Incredibly Strange Wrestling after a Q&A.
BOB CALHOUN is the author of Beer, Blood and Cornmeal: Seven Years of Incredibly Strange Wrestling. In the mid 1990s, San Francisco rocker Bob Calhoun took the name of Chicago comic book kung fu huckster Count Dante and joined the punk rock wrestling troupe Incredibly Strange Wrestling (ISW). ISW emerged from the back alleys and seedy clubs of San Francisco's South of Market scene to headline the historic Fillmore and barnstorm North America on the Van's Warped Tour. At the height of its popularity, Green Day's Billy Joe Armstrong and Metallica's James Hetfield could be seen tossing tortillas (which the promoters supplied) at ringside with the rest of the hell heads, boozehounds and tattooed party girls that made up ISW's rabid following. It's a story of urban misfits risking their necks for local celebrity in one of America's most famous cities all told against the backdrop of the dot com boom and bust and an increasingly corporate entertainment industry.
FLOYD WEBB: Director and producer of the documentary film "The Search For Count Dante." From Clarksdale, Mississippi Delta and raised on Chicago's Southside, Floyd Webb's background includes global work in cinema, photojournalism, publishing and advertising. He has found all of these experiences useful as a convergent worker, designer and consultant for the Internet.
After a 10 year career as a photojournalist Floyd was founder and creative director of the Blacklight Festival of International Black Cinema. From 1984-1995 the festival was one of the most critically acclaimed festivals of it's kind during that period.
Floyd was an associate producer of the award winning Julie Dash Film, Daughters of the Dust(US 1992), and developed the Geechee Girls Multimedia website in 1995. He works as a consultant in film programming and online issues for The Raindance Festival of Independent Cinema in London and The Black Filmmaker Magazine Film Festival in London.

Actually it was subset of the group, but Kathi & Julie from the St Louis SQL Server User Group did a great job of marketing my free Succesful Technical Speaking class. Microsoft was kind enough to provide both meeting space as well as lunch in a great show of community support. We had about 10 people attend and for most of them I think it was the right class at the right time, start the process of conquering the fear of 'I can't answer every question'.
I'm always re-evaluating this class in particular - should I rebrand it to Beginning Technical Speaking? Should I include how to use Powerpoint (I talk about technique but no hands on right now because it switches from ideas to doing), longer labs (some people tend to get very pale at at the idea of a 15-20 minute first time presentation!). I'm presenting the class again here in Orlando in September, I think I'll do one more iteration and then decide what approach to take for next year.
Part of the class is why someone wants to speak. Many reasons, but a common one is to build their resume/profile - nothing all wrong with that. Presenting is good, but you'll reach far more people by writing an article for SSC and probably have less stress because it can be a very deliberate effort. Not trying to talk anyone out of speaking, but if you're really serious, you need to do both. You'll reach different audiences and built two different skill sets. I've been talking to my friend Steve Jones about him building a writing class, but so far I haven't put forth a really compelling reason - but my best one is that not only does he have the writing experience, he sees on a regular basis lots of different styles, good and bad. We'll see!
But to return to speaking for a moment, I'll be trying to about 10 different out of Florida user groups next year to meet new people, sharpen my skills, and of course - to market my skills and training business. If you're looking for a speaker drop me a note via www.endtoendtraining.com (no, I'm not posting my email here!) and we can also talk about whether the speaking class might be a nice add on to my visit.

On April 13, 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., on the 200th anniversary of the third American president's birth.
On this date:
In 1613, Pocahontas, daughter of Chief Powhatan, was captured by English Capt. Samuel Argall in Virginia and held in exchange for English prisoners and stolen weapons. (During a yearlong captivity, Pocahontas converted to Christianity and ultimately opted to stay with the English. )

In 1912, the Royal Flying Corps, a predecessor of Britain's Royal Air Force, was created.
In 1943, Radio Berlin announced the discovery of thousands of graves of massacred Polish officers in Russia's Katyn Forest; the Nazis blamed the killings on the Soviets, who in turn blamed the Nazis. (Post-Soviet Russia has acknowledged the massacre was carried out by Josef Stalin's much feared secret police.)
In 1958, Van Cliburn of the United States won the first International Tchaikovsky Competition for piano in Moscow; Russian Valery Klimov won the violin competition.

San Diego—Spending on pay-per-click search advertising worldwide within the enterprise technology, consumer electronics and retail sectors grew 33% in the first quarter of this year compared with the same quarter a year ago, according to search marketing agency Covario Inc. According to Covario's "Global Paid Search Analysis" of its own clients, mobile search spending was particularly robust in Q1, increasing 51% compared with the year-earlier period. Partly as a result, overall cost-per-click rates increased 7% globally after two relatively flat quarters. Google commanded 86% of global paid search ads in the quarter, with the Yahoo-Bing network logging 7%. Baidu, which commands as much as an 80% share of the market in China, saw media spending grow on its search platform by 152% year-over-year. Baidu accounts for about 5% of all worldwide PPC spending, but 25% of all clicks. Most Popular In this article: BtoB

Three Tips For Nighttime Potty Training
Potty training is often a complicated, unpredictable adventure. One of the most challenging steps along the way is when your kiddo is dry during the day, but not at night.
It's very common. Genetics is one reason: Children with older-trained relatives have a higher chance of training later, and boys tend to train later than girls. And no matter how much they brag to each other in Kindergarten about being done with diapers, at least 30% of the class is still wet at night. There is always a handful of first graders in every class who can't yet sleep in undies, either.
Nighttime training is more complicated than day training. It requires the physical maturation of the bladder, along with the development of associated nerve pathways to and from the brain, as well as the trigger to waken the child to get him up to pee. That's why heavy sleepers often take longer to train at night. What to do? Of course, check with your pediatrician if you're worried. Then:
- Trust his body. He wants to be dry – really. He's doing his best. When his body and mind can work together, it will happen.
- Don't worry, be mellow. There's very little you can do to speed up nighttime training – but your frustration with your child may very well slow down the process. So give up the pressure.
- Watch for signs of readiness. When he starts to awaken dry from his nap, or when he's dry some mornings, ask if he'd like to try undies at night. If he resists, hang back and let him be in charge. Follow his interest and readiness.
I promise, he won't go to college in diapers!

Wanna know what it's like to be Derrick Rose right about now? Northwestern running back Mike Trumpy knows better than just about anyone.
"Oh man, it sucks," the redshirt junior said, his voice growing weary.
Chicago Fire defender Dan Gargan knows too.
"It's a daily, minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, week-to-week thing that doesn't go away until you're far down the road and you're like 'I feel great,' " Gargan said.
They're not talking about owning a condo in Trump Tower or earning tens of millions of dollars a year, but rather the grueling rehab process the Bulls star is going through as he works his way back into playing shape after tearing his left ACL in the playoffs in April.
And if the sight of Rose crumpled in a heap of pain on the court was a worst-case scenario for Bulls fans, Trumpy and Gargan are a sort of best-case scenario.
Both men tore their ACLs making seemingly routine plays that they had made a million times before in their careers. Trumpy suffered his injury during a carry against Illinois last October.
"It doesn't look that bad on film," he said. "It was like an outside zone play, and I just got tackled. I got up immediately and started hobbling to the sidelines thinking, 'This isn't a meniscus. This is a lot worse.' When I got on the sideline, I collapsed, I was in so much pain."
Gargan tore his in 2007 as a member of the Colorado Rapids MLS team while trying to intercept a pass near midfield.
"I kind of went forward to defend and planted to turn and felt a pop and had some sharp pain," Gargan said. "I went down thinking maybe something was wrong."
Both men were also able to rebuild their careers after having their knees surgically rebuilt. Gargan has started 65 of the 74 games he's played in since returning to the MLS in 2010, including 19 of the Fire's 22 matches this season.
Just 12 months removed from surgery, Trumpy has already racked up 224 yards on 52 carries in eight games this season, including a 16-carry, 106-yard performance against Boston College in Week 3 that included a 27-yard game-clinching touchdown.
"I don't really have too much knee pain anymore," he said. "I'm surprised at how I've progressed in the past month. I wear a knee brace. That's usually protocol for the first year after surgery, but for the most part it's feeling really great."
But it took them a lot of time and a lot of patience for them to get back to their normal playing shape. That sense of patience is something Gargan admits he didn't have when, as a 23-year-old just starting to establish himself as a starter in the MLS, he tried to get back into the action almost immediately after getting off the operating table.
"I was back on the field after about four-and-a-half months after tearing my ACL which, looking back on it as a young, naive kid, I didn't understand what the process was like coming back from an injury like that," he said.
Average recovery time for a person suffering a torn ACL is around five to seven months, according to the University of Minnesota's Sports Medicine Institute. The recovery process itself is a little bit more complicated than you might think.
In addition to strengthening the muscles in your knee, there's also the issue of rebuilding confidence and staying mentally strong throughout the ordeal.
"Mentally and emotionally, you have to maintain that belief in yourself that you're going to get better and you're going to be as good as you were before," Gargan said. "You have to believe that your good days will outnumber your bad days. It's something that you completely rely on, your physical ability, and when it's taken away from you, it's a scary thing. Suddenly, who you have been is thrown into question."
Trumpy spent much of his rehab sharpening other parts of his game while trusting that his therapists and doctors would take care of his legs.
"I focused on my upper body getting stronger, continuing to learn the playbook mentally," he said. "The hardest part for me was being away from football and not being able to contribute to the team, which was tough."
He remembers the exact moment he knew everything was going to be OK.
"I finally felt like I was back from the injury and the rehab the first time I got tackled during summer camp," he said.
While he may have improved physically, Trumpy said he still feels others' pain.
"Ever since (my injury) happened, anytime I see someone get injured in any sporting event and they grab their knee, it really just kills me because of all I've been through," he said.
Both athletes say the best thing for Rose to do right now is just be patient and take his time with his rehab. Everything else, they said, will come back to him in time.
"Don't be afraid to be upset, but you will get better," Gargan said. "The good part about it is you have time to strengthen those muscles and do specific strengthening and balancing work that otherwise you wouldn't wind up doing."
"Just hold nothing back," Trumpy added. "There's a lot of bumps in the road throughout the process but as long as you have a positive attitude, you'll be a better person and a better athlete for it."

The Company has allocated $600 million of the 2013 CAPEX budget to the drilling and completing of 75 gross (61 net) operated wells; $140 million to non-operated drilling and completion activities for 14 net wells; and $35 million for other items including water disposal systems, well connections, and acreage acquisitions. The 2013 drilling program is designed to provide flexibility in identifying suitable well locations and in the timing and size of capital investment.
As part of the 2013 CAPEX budget, Kodiak expects to operate six drilling rigs during the majority of 2013, subject to, among other things, economic conditions (including commodity prices). Kodiak's rig termination schedule allows for the Company to adjust CAPEX in reaction to economic conditions. Kodiak expects to primarily utilize one dedicated full-time, 24-hour completion spread, while maintaining the option to add a second 24-hour crew on an as-needed basis.
No CAPEX has been allocated to the Green River Basin in Southwestern Wyoming where Kodiak has a non-operated working interest in 30,000 gross acres (7,000 net acres). Kodiak's participation in future wells in the Green River Basin is subject to prevailing Rocky Mountain liquids and natural gas prices at time of election.
Kodiak expects to fund the 2013 CAPEX budget from existing working capital, operating cash flow and availability under its existing revolving credit facility agreement. As of December 18, 2012, the borrowing base and total commitment for the revolving credit facility is $450 million.
2013 Sales Volumes Outlook
At this time the Company has two gross (1.6 net) wells on flowback, four gross (3.0 net) wells being completed, and anticipates that completion activities will commence on four gross (3.0 net) additional wells by year-end. Based on the Company's anticipated 2012 exit rate, combined with activities contemplated under its 2013 CAPEX budget, Kodiak projects to average 29,000 to 31,000 BOE/d in sales volumes for the full-year 2013, which would exceed 80% year-over-year sales volumes growth. The projected exit rate for 2013 sales volumes is expected to range from 38,000 to 40,000 BOE/d.
Management Comment
Commenting on the 2013 CAPEX, Lynn Peterson, Kodiak's Chairman and CEO, said: "The 2013 budget reflects our continued confidence in the development of our Williston Basin leasehold. We are very fortunate to be investing capital in a world-class oil play where we are achieving excellent rates of return. Importantly, we have seen a significant reduction in our well costs over the past year. While we modeled nearly $10 million per-well for drilling and completions costs in our 2013 CAPEX, we expect to achieve lower well costs as we move through 2013. Accordingly, the projected costs are difficult to quantify at this time, but our experience in the second half of 2012 certainly supports a lower-cost trend for 2013. As we enter 2013, we have the majority of our acreage held by production, allowing us to focus on efficient multi-well pad development drilling where we can continue to drive down costs. Of added advantage, much of our infrastructure is already in place which further improves operations. While our 2012 growth in proven reserves, production and cash flow was significant, we planned our 2013 CAPEX program to again deliver meaningful growth for Kodiak and its shareholders."

MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) — Liberia's people have a novel way of finding out how their government is spending their money.
On a bustling street in the capital, people can look up at an electronic information billboard that relays how state funds are being spent.
The U.S.-supported project in Monrovia aims to improve state transparency, and the government of Nobel laureate President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf wants passers-by who might not normally read newspapers or surf the Internet to see what government projects are under way and where its money is being channeled.
Hundreds turned out Wednesday as the Harvard-educated president switched on the billboard, which is connected directly to the Finance Ministry's database, for the first time.
The billboard amounts to another step in the country's reconstruction following back-to-back civil wars from 1989 to 2003 that killed an estimated 250,000 people, displaced millions and devastated the economy. Founded in the mid-19th century by freed American slaves, the impoverished country has received hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. aid since the civil war.
The bright, colorful, viewer-friendly screen shows how tax dollars go to hospitals, roads, schools or agriculture, and how Liberia shapes up by sector compared to its West African neighbors.
Finance Minister Amara Konneh said the ultimate ambition is that Liberians "will hold public officials accountable for results." He acknowledged it won't be an antidote for corruption, but could help make inroads against it.
"The official corruption in our country is entrenched," Konneh told The Associated Press. "What we are doing by putting this symbol of openness out is to prevent; prevention is better than cure."
As Monrovians stopped to ponder the new billboard, some struggled to see the point or sensed a public-relations stunt.
"I don't see any significance," said James Smith. "Government should find another means to really educate people rather than plant billboards."
But Marie, a hairdresser who preferred to give only her first name, said: "Liberians should learn to appreciate a small beginning .... We were never being told of how our money was being spent. This is a way to start creating the awareness."

|A Latin Record found in my research
One wrote poetry and had a book published in 1857. I was lucky enough to find a few of his poetry online and have added that to the client's book which I am creating on Shutterfly.
Along the research path I've encountered new areas of research that were unfamiliar to me. I've heard of them of course but had no previous experience researching in the specific location or time period. One was Acadians and I have found the history of the settlement fascinating! The Filles du Roi and Carignan Soldiers also popped up as part of his ancestry. I too have a Filles du Roi so I'm familiar with that history but it was still interesting to learn even more.
I've had to decipher early records written in French and in Latin. Luckily here in Canada we are taught French in school so I can read the important bits. And thank you Mr. Finley for your Latin classes in High School! You were a tough teacher but now I'm grateful.
|Jacques Hertel's death recorded in French
Jacques is a very important part of my book The Van Slyke Family in America: A Genealogy of Cornelise Antonissen Van Slyke, 1604-1676 and his Mohawk Wife Ots-Toch, including the story of Jacques Hertel, 1603-1651, Father of Ots-Toch and Interpreter to Samuel de Champlain
My line of descent is from Jacques' daughter by a Mohawk Indian woman, while my client is from one of Jacques' children by his wife.
My client's ancestry on his dad's side is solidly Quebec and Acadia. Mine is not. Mine on my dad's side is early Dutch settlers in New Netherland (now New York) in the mid 1600s then on to Ontario after the American Revolution. How odd that the client and I should share an ancestor given that our ancestry does not take the same path.
And that's one of the many things I love about genealogy. It will always jump up and surprise you.

Nycticebus bengalensis
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Nycticebus bengalensis (Lacépède, 1800)
Common Name(s):
Nycticebus cinereus Milne-Edwards, 1867
Nycticebus incanus Thomas, 1921
Nycticebus tenasserimensis Elliot, 1913
|Taxonomic Notes:
|This taxon was formerly considered a subspecies of Nycticebus coucang, with which there is a small hybridization zone in peninsular Thailand. No subspecies are recognized. Considerable variation exists in body size and coat colour in this taxon.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Vulnerable A2acd+3cd+4acd ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Streicher, U., Singh, M., Timmins, R.J. & Brockelman, W.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
Listed as Vulnerable as, due to loss of habitat and severe pressures from hunting, there is more than 30% reduction in population over three generations (approximately 21-24 years). The species is predicted to decline by more than 30% in the next three generations over its entire range due to continuing hunting pressures and loss of habitat.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species occurs in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China (southern Yunnan and possibly southern Guangxi), north-eastern India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura), Lao PDR, Myanmar (including the Mergui Archipelago), Thailand, and Viet Nam (except the south). It may possibly occur as well in northern Peninsular Malaysia.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Bangladesh; Cambodia; China; India; Lao People's Democratic Republic; Myanmar; Thailand; Viet Nam
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|In Lao PDR, the population seems to be fairly undisturbed and occurs in large forest tracts (R. Timmins pers. comm.). Duckworth (1994) and Ratajszczak (1998) both reported the species as being very rare in Lao PDR, with the former reporting abundance indices of about 0.30-0.65/km, and the latter detecting only three after a several week survey. It is recorded in two areas in Bangladesh: Chittagong and Sylhet (Molur et al. 2003). In India, the encounter rates vary from 0.1 to 0.77/km (Radhakrishna et al. 2006). In Viet Nam, the populations are severely reduced and have disappeared from many forests (Fitch-Snyder and Thanh 2002; V. Thanh pers. comm.). In Cambodia it is widespread, though a long-term survey by Starr has also failed to detect this species in most forests. It is also widespread in Thailand (W. Brockelman pers. comm.), though an on-going study by Pliwsungnoen has found that they are absent from many forests, and are at very low densities when they are present (Pliwsungnoen pers. comm.).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This is an arboreal, nocturnal species that inhabits tropical evergreen rainforest, semi-evergreen forest, and moist deciduous forest. In Viet Nam it is found only in secondary forests, and on the edge of primary forests; they are also known to come close to agricultural fields and plantations (V. Thanh pers. comm.). It ranges from sea level (U. Streicher pers. comm.) up to 2,400 m (Choudhury 2001). It feeds on fruits and gums, but very few insects as compared to slender or pygmy lorises (U. Streicher pers. comm.).
This animal's life span is about 15 years, and generation time is 7-8 years. Females give birth to one offspring per litter once every two years in semi-wild conditions (Rowe 1996). In captivity, this rate may be slightly higher (U. Streicher pers. comm.).
|Major Threat(s):
|The major threats that this species' habitat faces include farming, timber removal, human settlement, road building, dams, power lines, fragmentations, soil loss and erosion, and deliberately set fires. They are hunted and traded for food, traditional "medicine", sport, and as pets (Molur et al. 2003; Nekaris and Nijman 2007; V. Thanh and U. Streicher pers. comm.). Road kills represent another threat to this species.
|Conservation Actions:
This species is listed in Bangladesh as Schedule III in the Bangladesh Wildlife (Preservation) (Amendment) Act, 1974. In India, it is listed in Schedule I, part I, under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 amended up to 2002. This species is protected in Thailand under the Wildlife Protection of 1992; in China it is Class I, and is given the highest protection in Viet Nam under the Wildlife Protection Law (List IB, Decree 32, 2006) on a par with tigers, elephants and bears. In Cambodia, it is protected under law 359 of the Ministry of Forestry and Fisheries, 1994.
This species is found in a large number of protected areas throughout its range, but possibly at low numbers. Actual surveys rather than anecdotal reports are necessary to determine the true abundance of this species in the wild (Nekaris et al. 2008). The species has been recently transfer from Appendix II to Appendix I of CITES (Nekaris and Nijman 2007).

Behind Closed Doors
Producer-singer-songwriter-DJ-everything else rhêtorík bares his soul on 'Behind Closed Doors.' The EP is a sum of his whimsy and his triumphs, a showcase of his insecurities, but also a promise to himself and to his fans that there will be light in their lives. Across five songs and in 20 minutes, rhêtorík makes quick work of what hurts him and how he's learned to heal himself. "I took a year from 24 to 25, where I went completely stone-cold sober, really got into the vlogging, and just took a year of internal reflection," he told DJBooth. His reflections led him to question himself and his motives, and 'Behind Closed Doors' is the immediate product of his weighty introspection. The indie-meets-EDM influences on the project undoubtedly move music forward, but it's rhêtorík's hopeful message that makes him a truly enduring artist.

Sydney survive Newcastle fightback
The Sydney Roosters have registered their first win since Round 4 with a 12-10 victory over a Newcastle Knights side that mounted a strong second half comeback at the SFS.
It was a case of winning ugly for last year's runners-up, who ended a six-week win less drought to claim their first competition points since April 3.
With both sides sitting outside the top eight, Roosters skipper Braith Anasta downplayed the quality of the match but spoke highly of his side's ability to hold the Knights to just two tries.
"It wasn't spectacular but a wins a win for us at the moment. Our defence was really good...we can take a lot of confidence from our defence," he said speaking to ABC Grandstand after the game.
It took Sydney until the 25th minute to open the scoring after a nice interchange of passing down the left hand side between Anasta, BJ Leilua and Shaun Kenny-Dowall saw Kenny-Dowall finish the movement under the posts.
Anasta's conversion took his side's lead to what would be the halftime score of 6-nil.
When both teams returned to the field, it looked as though Sydney would run away with the contest when Todd Carney beat some lazy Knights' defence with an inside ball to veteran Anthony Minichiello.
However, miraculously, Newcastle found a spark thanks to a flying Shannon McDonnell in the 59th minute - it reduced Sydney's lead to 12-6.
Sensing the change in momentum, Anasta attempted a field goal without success before the Knights surged back into contention after Peter Mata-utia flew high to claim a Jarrod Mullen bomb.
Wes Naiqama had the opportunity to level to scoreboard but his ensuing conversion was waved away. Anasta admitted Naiqama's missed kick could have proven the death knell for a tiring Sydney side.
"To be honest I don't think there was too much (energy) left. I suppose we were a bit lucky (with Naiqama's miss) today," he said.
Newcastle's attempts to keep the ball alive in the final seven minutes proved in vain, as the Roosters held on to record an important two point victory.

LeagueUnlimited.com Live Commentary Welcome to the SFS for the clash between Sydney and Newcastle.
The form guide for both sides isn't all that pretty in recent times. The Knights have lost their last two, while the Roosters haven't won since April 3 against Wests Tigers. If they can get up today, they'll have to do so without their Origin representatives Nate Myles and Mitchell Pearce.
In the Under 20s, Newcastle triumphed 50-18.

Sydney Roosters 6-0
27 min: BJ Leilua drops it in the play the ball off the kick off. Could it be the invitation the Knights need to hit back?
30 min: Todd Carney goes within inches of scoring off a Jason Ryles offload but just loses it before the line.
34 min: Wes Naiqama careers through some sideline reporters and into the signage, everyone comes out of it unscathed.
37 min: Still no change to the score, the Roosters have thrown 9 offloads to the Knights' 1 but just have the one try to show for their second phase play.
39 min: Sydney Roosters forward Willie Mataka throws an opportunity away - he had two men unmarked on his outside but decided to go himself.
40 min: Halftime: A low scoring forty minutes at the SFS - the Roosters have had the better of the attacking play but, with only one try to show for it, the Knights will probably be pleased with their effort in defence to this point.

56 min: Todd Carney gets it away to Jake Friend but he's cut down by Beau Henry in a solid tackle.

79 min: Newcastle keep it alive but they can't get through the Roosters' line and a knock on gifts possession back with the clock winding down.
80 min: Todd Carney drills the ball into touch, the Knights race to the scrum and they have 80 metres to travel with 40 seconds left.
80 min: Jarrod Mullen loses the ball from the scrum and that's the game for Sydney.
80 min: Fulltime: Sydney hold out a late second half Newcastle surge to win 12-10 but the Roosters were the better team, too much sideline-to-sideline play. However, by no means were Sydney at their best either.

Peterborough pair charged with identity, credit card fraudBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
October 03. 2013 8:32PM
PETERBOROUGH — Police say a Peterborough duo are behind identity and credit card frauds that happened in the Peterborough, Hillsborough, Milford, Amherst and Nashua.
Anthony Heppe, 21, of Old Dublin Road has been arrested and charged with two counts of identity fraud, a Cclass A felony, for using stolen credit cards at a Red Box kiosk outside of the CVS Pharmacy on Route 101 and online at Amazon.com for many purchases there as well, Police Chief Scott Guinard said in press release Thursday.
Heppe will be arraigned at the 8th Circuit Court District Division in Jaffrey Nov. 4.
Police are also seeking his alleged accomplice, 22-year-old Erin Bishop of Wilder Street.
Police have issued a warrant for her arrest, charging her with identity fraud, a class A felony, for using stolen credit cards at the Big Apple Convenience Store on Route 101 as well as the Red Box at CVS and with Heppe, purchasing items online through Amazon.com at Heppe's Old Dublin Road home.
Guinard said police investigated numerous incidents of identity fraud and fraudulent use of credit cards in Peterborough, Hillsborough, Milford, Amherst and Nashua before making the arrest and issuing the arrest warrant.
Police believe Heppe and Bishop had used the stolen cards in Hillsborough, Milford, Amherst and Nashua as well and have notified those agencies, Guinard said.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Police are asking the public for help in identifying a burglary suspect caught on tape selling stolen items, or actually getting someone else to do his dirty work for him, reports the Beaumont Police Department (BPD).
When Hurricane Harvey rained down on Southeast Texas at the end of August, hundreds of children already uprooted from their homes due to incidences of abuse and neglect yet again had their lives thrown into turmoil. Some lost all.
Beaumont Police are asking for your help in identifying this suspect.
Baytown Police are searching for a women who they believe keyed a disabled veteran's vehicle while it was parked in a handicapped parking space on June 9 at about 2:35 p.m.
The vehicle had proper placards displayed at the time of the incident, police say. She may be driving a silver Nissan Juke.
Approximately $1000 of damage to the veteran's vehicle was done.
Police uploaded store surveillance footage of the incident here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-Fbms5igNo
- Baytown Police Department
At approximately 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, December 15, 2015, Beaumont police officers responded to a disturbance in the vicinity of the Regent Apartments near Gulf Avenue.
According to Officer Joe Ornelas, while officers attempted to handle the disturbance they were called out for, shots rang out nearby, prompting the officers to take cover. One officer was hit with what he believed to be a pellet, and was not injured.
Beaumont Police have arrested a man they say was responsible for a pair of purse snatchings just before the holidays.
UPDATE: Police arrested a suspect in this robbery Friday, Nov. 30, 2012. For that story, click the link below:
An armed robber fired one shot into the ground during a robbery in the parking lot of the Target Shopping Center on Thursday, Nov. 15

We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event.

Carlyle Group plans to sell its remaining stake in China's third-largest insurer in a deal valued at up to $790 million, marking the U.S. private equity fund's largest gross profit ever from an investment.
After several selldowns of its stake in the last two years, Carlyle will net more than $4 billion profit on the deal, or five times the cash it paid. In private equity terms, a profit of two times cash paid for a gain of several hundred million dollars is considered a successful exit.
Continue Reading Below
The Washington, D.C.-based firm is offering 203 million Hong Kong-traded shares of China Pacific Insurance (Group) Co Ltd <2601.HK> (CPIC) in a range of HK$30 to HK$30.30 per share, according to a term sheet of the deal seen by Reuters.
Carlyle invested about $800 million in CPIC between 2005 and 2007 for a 17 percent stake. The firm began to sell its stake late in 2010, exiting portions of its investment in various chunks, culminating in the current term sheet.
Strong demand for insurance products in China coupled with a bull market led to the surge in CPIC's shares.
The firm raised a total of $5.1 billion through its CPIC sales, including the most recent offering. That would put Carlyle's profit from the CPIC deal at $4.3 billion, according to Reuters calculations.
Carlyle's exit of U.S. healthcare company HCR Manorcare is listed at $6.1 billion, but that deal was financed by loans and the gross profit was smaller. Carlyle paid all cash for the CPIC deal.
The sale comes after CPIC's shares surged nearly 40 percent over the past year, reaching a 52-week high last Thursday.
Goldman Sachs and UBS were hired as joint bookrunners for the selldown.
Carlyle's CPIC investment was led by X.D. Yang, Hong Kong-based managing director and co-head of Carlyle Asia Partners.
(This story corrects paragraph 1 to read "largest gross profit" instead of "most profitable exit", corrects multiple in paragraph 2 to five times from four and gives X.D. Yang's full title in final paragraph)

With this 'udderly' simple recipe, you can make your own yogurt covered pretzels at home, naturally.
With this 'udderly' simple recipe, you can make your own yogurt covered pretzels at home, naturally.
Ready In: 4 hrs
Level: Medium
Prep: 1 hr
Cook: 15 mins
Yields: 3 Dozen Pretzels
- 1 bag miniature pretzels
- 2 c Stonyfield Organic Whole Milk Strawberry Yogurt
- 5 c confectioners' sugar
Step 1
Preheat oven to 250°.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mix the confectioner's sugar into the yogurt one cup at a time with a hand blender.
Step 3
Using tongs, chopsticks or tweezers, dip the pretzels, one at a time into the frosting and place them on the wire cooling rack.
Step 4
Place a baking sheet under the wire rack to catch the excess frosting that will drip from the pretzels.
Step 5
Once all pretzels are coated, turn your oven off and place the wire rack and baking sheet in, leaving the oven door slightly open. The excess heat will help the frosting dry without leaving the pretzels soggy.
Step 6
Allow frosting to harden for 3-4 hours, remove from oven, and store pretzels in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
