Feeling fleeced by hidden fees, surcharges, fine print and other "Gotchas"? That's because you are getting fleeced. Sneaky pricing has become the American way of doing business in the past decade. But don't look now -- things are going to get much worse before they get better. Tough times and shrinking profits will spur on cash grabs the likes of which we've never seen. Like a wounded animal, I expect many a desperate corporate boardroom to authorize unconscionably tricky tactics, aiming to stave off a bad report to shareholders for one more quarter by sucking more quarters out of your wallet.
In this spirit, today we open up a new institution to memorialize all this chicanery: The Gotcha Hall of Shame. The first inductee is so deserving that it actually inspired creation of the award: JetBlue Airlines and its $7 pillow.
I know, I know, it's not just a pillow, it's a blanket, too. And both, apparently, have super-powers that block micro-toxins, whatever those are. But if the blanket works so well, why hasn't my doctor given me one?
Even with reduced visibility and a low cloud ceiling, we can all see through JetBlue's pillow ploy. On a plane, you're a captive consumer. There is no shopping around for good pillow prices. You're sleepy, and you will you fork over $7 for a chance to take a nap.
Of course, you could bring your pillow on board, but that would take up your precious carry-on baggage allotment, which could push you to check more baggage. And JetBlue now charges extra for that, too.
You should know that JetBlue had stiff competition for the inaugural Gotcha award -- from within its own industry. US Airways, [changed from US Air] which is said to be considering its own pay-to-sleep fee, gets honorable mention for deciding to charge passengers $2 each time they ask for water. Curiously, coffee is only $1 per cup. C'mon US Air! That's going to hurt pillow sales.
As for circumnavigating the water fee, don't bother. The Transportation Security Administration is in on this, too. Bring water to the airport and you'll lose that at the security checkpoints.
Meanwhile, it feels like all the airlines have involved been in a perverse kind of auction to see who can squeeze consumers the most for checked bags ($15 for a second bag. Do I hear $25? Ok, $25 to Delta Airlines. Do I hear $50? OK, $50 to Delta Airlines!)
The death of pricing
What's going on here? Analysts are politely calling this a move to a la carte pricing. I have another name for it (I'll bet you have a few too). I call it the death of pricing.
These "after charges" make it nearly impossible for consumers to buy airline tickets intelligently. The normal method of searching for flights and sorting by price has been murdered by $10 meals and $50 baggage fees. A $245 flight can be cheaper -- much cheaper -- than a $189 flight. A Delta $100 baggage fee (remember, checked bag fees are one way) can turn a good deal into a bad deal very quickly.
Now, the critical question: How are consumers supposed to do the math when shopping for airline tickets? Can you predict how many bags you'll pack when you're buying a ticket?
This isn't just annoying. It's an assault on capitalism. Companies with the best prices and the best products are supposed to win in our Darwinian economic system. Instead, sneaky charges and tack-on fees prop up poorly performing companies. Instead of rewarding the best performers, we are rewarding the members of the Gotcha Hall of Shame.
Already last year, flying became a textbook example of what economist Caroline Baum calls inflation by degradation. When people pay the same for a product, but get less from it, that's a form of inflation, Baum says. For example, when people pay to get from New York to Chicago in two hours, but the actual travel time is four hours, they've been hit with a hidden form of inflation.
Last year, airline schedules turned into fiction novels, with some planes on some routes arriving on time as infrequently as 10 percent of the time. Yet prices didn't fall, they rose. And now, they are rising again, through the layering of fees so fantastic you'd think Franz Kafka owned an airline.
Come to think of it, even Kafka wouldn't make one of his characters pay for a pillow. No one would buy it.
Congrats, JetBlue Airlines, for earning the first spot in the Gotcha Hall of Shame.
Red Tape readers, feel free to file nominations for the next inductee below.
(While I'm at it, here's a pretty good reference on baggage fees)

Tigers hold on for win at Austin
February 11, 2007
February 11, 2007, Sherman, Texas - DePauw improved to 19-4 overall and 10-2 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference following a 63-58 win at Austin. The Kangaroos dropped to 5-17 overall and 0-12 in the conference.
DePauw closed the first half with a 12-0 run over the final six minutes to take a 38-18 halftime advantage. The Tigers extended the lead to 23 in the opening minute of the second half, but the Kangaroos put together a 21-4 run to close the gap to 45-39 with 13:12 left.
The Tigers still held a 54-47 lead with just over seven minutes left, but Austin hit a pair of threes, a layup and a free throw to take a 56-54 lead with 4:38 remaining. DePauw's Reid Sakel's jumper tied the game before Matt McDonald added a free throw and basket to push the Tigers to a 59-56 advantage. Mike Moore nailed two free throws with 49 seconds left to extend the lead to five.
Jason Burton's bucket with 30 seconds left closed the gap to three and Sakel was whistled for an offensive foul with 26 seconds remaining. Kyle May's potential game-tying three was off the mark with six seconds left and Austin Brown hit two free throws with a pair of seconds left to seal the win.
Sakel paced the Tigers with 22 and nailed 6-of-11 three-pointers, whle Brown added 11. Moore dished out five assists and Stephen Schott grabbed seven rebounds. Burton led Austin with 16 followed by May with 14 and Chris Sturtevant with 11 and a game-high nine rebounds. May added six assists in the loss.
The Tigers host Sewanee on Friday at 8 p.m.

Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Death of Robinson Jeffers -
The Poet Is Dead Broadside
A eulogy by William Everson for Jeffers. Etching of Tor
House in snow by
Tom Killian. Printed on handmade paper by Peter and Donna
Thomas, Santa Cruz. 11x15, limited edition of 50 prints, $80
each (includes tax) to benefit Tor House Foundation.
After Jeffers passed in 1962, William Everson, along with many other followers of Jeffers' work, were asked to write elegies to the poet and his life's work. Bill Everson, a devoted follower of Jeffers wrote "The Poet is Dead" as his tribute. This commemorative broadside presents the first three stanzas of the poem. The second stanza was added a few years later to emphasize the environment surrounding the night of Jeffers passing:
Snow on the headland,
Rare on the coast of California.
Snow on Point Lobos,
Falling all night,
Filling the creeks and the back country,
The strangely beautiful
Setting of death.
These lines were used by the artist Tom Killian to depict Tor House (and
in another etching, Pt Lobos) in snowfall. This aspect of the poem
underlines Jeffers' tight association with the environment of his home
in Carmel, California.
Peter Thomas was commissioned by Tor House Foundation to print the
broadside. Peter worked directly with Everson at Lime Kiln Press
at UCSC on the monumental book Granite and Cypress, a fine art book
tribute to Jeffers poetry. Peter later printed a limited edition
book of The Poet is Dead for Everson, from which this broadside is

Our publications include several which are available only from the Tor House bookstore. Other merchandise for sale includes Jeffers-related CDs, DVDs, note cards and works of art.
A Tor House Exclusive - Tor House is pleased to announce the re-issuing of The Stone Mason of Tor House by Melba Berry Bennett.
Melba Berry Bennett won the affection of both Jeffers and Una and after Una's
death became Jeffers' secretary and worked with him until the end of his life.
The result is a biography rich in detail and true to its subject. Jeffers
did not reveal himself often to others, so his and Una's friendship with Bennett
represented an unusual opportunity for Bennett to produce an authoritative,
sensitive portrait of the poet.
This handsome edition, with slipcase, is available exclusively through the Tor
House Bookstore, including at our online store.
The mission of the Robinson Jeffers Tor House Foundation is:
To preserve Tor House, Hawk Tower and their collections
To promote the literary and philosophical legacy of Robinson Jeffers for the enrichment and enlightenment of the public
To serve the community as a cultural resource

Horse racing has been around a long time with each state having its own racing commission that establishes and governs the rules and regulations for that particular state. Racing commission officials are appointed positions. The commissions require trainers to abide by certain procedures for preparing a horse for its first race; making entries, scratching, or withdrawing a horse from a race; and even gaining entry to the stable area.
I cannot count the number of times that someone has assumed that I just wake up on a Saturday morning and say "I think I'll race a horse today," and then go snatch one up from the pasture and head off to the races. First and foremost, the horse is an athlete and must be fed and conditioned accordingly. This cannot be done if the horse lives in a pasture.
Secondly, race entries must be made within a specific time frame, usually 72 hours in advance. This affords officials sufficient time to set the field, and once the races are "drawn" (i.e. set), the list of entries is sent to the printer so that race day programs and past performances can be printed and made available to the public.
Now for the specifics...
Before a horse can run in its first race, it must be tattooed for identification purposes. The tattoo is placed inside the horse's upper lip (See Below).
For thoroughbreds, the tattoo is comprised of 6 characters - one letter in the beginning signifying the year of foaling, followed by 5 numbers from the horse's official registration number. The Jockey Club, which is the official registry for thoroughbreds, assigns each horse a letter of the alphabet corresponding to the year the horse was born. This registration process began in 1971 with the letter "A", continued all the way through "Z", and then started over again with "A" in 1997.
The official registration number contained at the top of the registration certificate is actually 7 numbers long - a two-digit birth year number and a five-digit "VIN" number of sorts (the latter which appears in the tattoo). The letter that appears in the tattoo, which represents the year the horse was born, is switched to a two-digit number on the racing certificate (e.g. an "A" for a horse foaled in 1997 becomes "97"). There simply isn't enough room inside the horse's lip for more than 6 total characters. The reason there is a five-digit "VIN" identification number is that there are approximately 35,000 thoroughbred foals registered in North America each year.
The registration certificate is similar to a birth certificate and title combined. In addition to containing a registration number at the top, it contains the horse's official name, its parents' names (i.e. Planet Earth (sire/father) and Lil Miss Sparkles (dam/mother)), the sire of the horse's dam (i.e. Mr. Sparkles), date of birth, state where it was foaled, its markings, and the owner of the dam, which is me. The registration process requires the horse owner or registrant to submit five color photos of the foal; a stallion service certificate; six prospective names for the horse to be considered by The Jockey Club; a detailed description of the horse's markings, including cowlicks/swirls (which is a lock or tuft of hair growing in a different direction from the rest of the hair, usually in a circular pattern; all horses have at least one on each side of their neck and one or two on their face); a hair sample of the foal for DNA testing; and a check for $200.00.
When a horse is taken before the official identifier, who is an individual approved and appointed by The Jockey Club, the horse's markings, including all cowlicks, must match the registration certificate exactly. If not, the word "rejected" is stamped in big bold red letters on the front of the certificate. If this happens, new photos must be submitted with corrected markings to The Jockey Club, along with a correction fee. If everything is correct, the horse gets his tattoo, which is necessary for identification purposes when he goes to the starting gates for his approval to race. Also, every horse's tattoo is verified by the individual track's identifier before each and every race.
Now that the horse has received its tattoo and its "papers" (i.e. registration certificate), it is ready to go to the racing office for an entry date, provided that a current Coggins test has been conducted and the positive results are submitted. A Coggins test is a mandatory blood test that is performed annually by a state certified laboratory to test for Equine Infectious Anemia ("EIA"), or better known as Swamp Fever. EIA is a disease that is carried from horse to horse by mosquitoes that causes fever, depression, and death. There is no cure or vaccine available, and any horse that tests positive for Swamp Fever, is required by law to be euthanized.
Every track operates on a "date" system to determine the priority by which horses are selected to enter a particular race. The date system is set up so that everyone has an equal opportunity to race. Everyone starts with the same entry date. Each time a horse runs, he receives a new entry date corresponding with the date of his last race, which puts him behind the other horses who have not run yet in terms of priority. The earliest entry date gets preference to "draw" into a race. If there was no date system, all horses would be drawn at random and the lucky guy would get to run often, while the unlucky guy might never get to run.
Let's take a look at the specifics of the "date" system and how entry dates actually work. At the beginning of a given meet, all papers turned into the racing office by a specified day receive a "zero" date, which is the earliest possible date. Every time a horse competes in a race, his date is changed from "0" to "R", and he receives a new date corresponding to the date of the race. If he draws into a race and is scratched, the horse gets an "S" date. When the papers are submitted to the racing secretary after the deadline expires for the "0" date, he receives an "E" date. A super dates is a date given to all horses scheduled to race on a day in which the races were canceled for any reason and it is denoted by an '*'. Super dates, along with zero dates, are given first preference. An "E" date would supersede an "R" date, and both of these have priority over an "S" date. If three horses have a 6/10/2009 race date and one has an "E", one has an "R", and one has an "S", upon entering the same race, the "E" "draws" into the race first, followed by the horse assigned an "R", and ending with the "S" date.
Once the horse has received his entry date, now he must go through a series of official workouts to obtain his gate card and an official start. These official workouts are known as published works (or breezes). A published work is when a horse runs a specified distance at full speed and it is timed and recorded. It is designed to let the public and racing officials know that the horse is fit to race.
Tracks have a published works requirement for all horses, but especially stringent ones for first time starters (a horse that has yet to compete in his racing debut). All tracks require first time starters to have several published works (usually at least 3). Tracks take these requirements very seriously and fines are levied against trainers who fail to comply.
To receive a published work, the rider must report the horse's name and the distance to be worked to the official clocker when the horse enters the track, so that his works can be recorded. He must also be approved from the starting gates by the starter - the person who opens the gates to begin a race. Once the horse has proven that he will load, stand quietly, break alertly, and run straight, the starter will fill out an "okay" card with the horse's name, age, equipment, the trainer's name, the date the horse was approved, and put it on file in the racing office. Some tracks require first time starters to participate in "schooling" races before they actually run in a sanctioned race. Schooling races are held either late morning or early afternoon on a non-race day. They will consist of 8 to 10 horses in a mock race with no purse money or wagering allowed.
Trainers can and often obtain their horse's entry date before getting published works. This way, when the horse is ready to run, they will already have a "zero" date, and won't have to wait a couple of weeks before "drawing" into a race.
Finally, the horse has his okay to run in a race. Now the trainer will look through his "condition book" to select an appropriate race. The condition book is a list of upcoming races, usually for two weeks at a time. Once the trainer has selected a race that he wishes to put the horse in, he will have to enter the horse. Entries are taken several days in advance and only from 8:00 to 10:00 am. Once entries are closed, office personnel will check all entries for that day to make sure that each horse is eligible for the race in which it was entered, the Coggins test is current, and first timers have met their published works requirements.
Since there is often more entries in a single race than there are spots in the starting gates, the horses with the earliest entry dates will be selected. At the "draw", which is performed by the racing secretary and usually one horseman, all of the horses' names for a particular race will be placed on "entry" cards and placed in a specially designed wooden box. The horseman will have a bottle, shaped like a soda bottle, which contains small individually numbered cubes, similar to dice. The horseman will shake one number out of the bottle and the racing secretary will pull out one entry card. The horse's name is called out and he is assigned the number that was just drawn. This will be his post position in the race. This procedure continues until all of the post positions are filled.
Horses that compete in races have additional guidelines related to racing etiquette that must be followed.
There is clearly a little more to racing than just getting a horse out of the pasture and going to the track.

'Tactical genius' Duane Ludwig has Team Alpha Male a step ahead of the game
Kevin Iole at Yahoo Sports20 hrs agoSince he was hired in January as the first full-time head coach for the Sacramento, Calif.,-based Team Alpha Male, Duane Ludwig has gotten plenty of credit for the team's success.
The former UFC welterweight contender, whose career ended in 2012 when he couldn't remain healthy, finds a lot of humor in that.
"People seem to want to point to me and my hiring and give me all this credit [for the team's success]," he said. "It's nice, and I'll take it, and I deserve some of the credit, but it's fighters who win fights."
It's true that Ludwig inherited one of the sport's deepest and most talented teams. But consider the 2012 versus 2013 records for Chad Mendes, Urijah Faber, Joseph Benavidez and Danny Castillo, four of its biggest stars, when assessing Ludwig's impact.
Each of them will fight on Dec. 14 at SleepTrain Arena in UFC on Fox in Sacramento and all will be trying to finish off a more success 2013 than they had in 2013.
In 2012, Faber was 0-1. In 2013, he's 3-0. In 2012, Mendes was 2-1, but he's 2-0 in 2013. Benavidez was 1-1 in 2012 and 3-0 in 2013 and Castillo was 1-1 in 2012 and 2-0 in 2013.
Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad take rightful place in International Boxing Hall of Fame
Yahoo Sports21 hrs agoBoxing changed forever on Sept. 18, 1999.
It was on that night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas that Felix Trinidad defeated Oscar De La Hoya in what was billed as "The Fight of the Millennium."
The bout was a mega-hit at the box office, selling more than 1.4 million pay-per-views, a record for a non-heavyweight bout at the time.
It was that fight that ended the heavyweight division's longtime stranglehold over the sport's audience.
The De La Hoya-Trinidad welterweight bout showed that lighter weight fighters could be stars the equal of the heavyweights, and it changed the focus of the sport.
For much of the 1990s, for example, Ricardo Lopez was one of the greatest fighters in the sport, but he was largely ignored by the American media and unknown by the American fans because he was a minimumweight.
Television executives never gave Lopez a thought, despite his brilliance in the ring.
But after De La Hoya-Trinidad's stunning box-office success in 1999, that all changed.
Aggressive super welterweight Glen Tapia has look of a future champion
Kevin Iole at Yahoo Sports1 day agoGlen Tapia has become one of boxing's bright young stars because many years ago, he was afraid to say no.
Tapia is following the path that Arturo Gatti, the late Hall of Famer, blazed a generation earlier: He's making a name for himself in the New York Metropolitan area with an aggressive, fan friendly style.
On Saturday at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., the room that Gatti made famous, Tapia will face the fight of his life when he meets heavy handed James Kirkland in a 10-round super welterweight bout.
[Related: Nine must-see fights in December]
In Kirkland, Tapia will face one of the sport's bigger names in the co-feature of a nationally televised card, fulfilling the vow he made when he was a young professional.
"When I first turned pro, I'd tell people I'd be fighting in Atlantic City and they'd look at me like I was crazy," he said.
No one looks at him that way any more. He's a rare combination of speed, power, fearlessness and boxing ability, with the opportunity to become a star.
Nate Diaz bummed he had to miss high school reunion to knock out Gray Maynard
Kevin Iole at Yahoo Sports4 days agoLAS VEGAS – Gray Maynard looked like he'd have rather been anywhere than sharing a cage in a fight with Nate Diaz on Saturday.
Diaz felt the same way, but he turned in one of the great performances of his career and stopped Maynard after a series of strikes in the first round of their bout at The Ultimate Fighter Finale at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
Diaz had wanted to attend his high school reunion, but skipped it to take on Maynard, a former lightweight-title challenger, in a rubber match. It turned out to be no contest, as Diaz overwhelmed Maynard and forced referee Yves Lavigne to stop the bout.
As good as he looked, though, Diaz wasn't keen on fighting. He wanted to attend his reunion.
"It would have been cool to go there [to my reunion], but I was broke, so I had to show up [to fight]," Diaz said.
And he fought as well as he has in his long career. He caught Maynard with a nice judo throw early in the fight before then using his punching accuracy to set up the finish.
Typical of Diaz, though, he didn't want to hang around much to celebrate. He was being interviewed by Jon Anik in the cage on Fox Sports 1 shortly after the match ended, but cut it short.
Ronda Rousey may not be America's sweetheart, but she remains one of the UFC's brightest stars
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter5 days agoRonda Rousey was concerned that she'd be viewed as some kind of deranged nut job after her stint as a coach on Season 18 of "The Ultimate Fighter" aired on Fox Sports 1.
The season concluded on Wednesday andit portrayed Rousey as ultra-competitive, ultra intense and an extremely poor loser.
None of that, though, is much of a surprise and none of it detracts from her primary gig as the UFC women's bantamweight champion. Her job is not only to fight and retain her title, but also to sell tickets and pay-per-views.
After just one fight in the UFC, a victory in February over Liz Carmouche, Rousey is already one of the sport's biggest stars, male or female. It's fair to say that only welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre clearly exceeds her as a draw. Some might argue that light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and/or middleweight champion Anderson Silva may exceed her in terms of star power.
Adonis Stevenson, Sergey Kovalev could help make 2014 the year of the light heavyweights
Kevin Iole at Boxing5 days agoAdonis Stevenson has had a superb 2013 campaign, and even though Floyd Mayweather Jr. seems to have the edge on Fighter of the Year honors, "Superman" remains in contention heading into his WBC light heavyweight title bout on Saturday in Quebec City against Tony Bellew.
Stevenson has scored two impressive knockout wins in 2013, halting Chad Dawson in the first round and then stopping Tavoris Cloud after seven one-sided rounds. An impressive win over Bellew would force voters to at least consider him as 2013 Fighter of the Year.
But more importantly, a big victory for the heavy handed Stevenson would put him in prime position for 2014. First, it will position him for a fight with Sergey Kovalev, a match that would be an absolute donnybrook, should Kovalev, as expected, get past Ismayl Sillakh on Saturday's undercard.
A Stevenson-Kovalev WBC-IBF unification bout would be one of the best action fights on the early 2014 schedule.
Gray Maynard is one of the world's best lightweights, but faces a must-win bout versus Nate Diaz
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter6 days agoLAS VEGAS -- It's hard to tag a bout a must-win for a fighter who is 11-2-1 and has beaten some of the best fighters in the world. But if Gray Maynard wants to remain remotely in contention for the UFC lightweight title, then he has no other choice but to defeat Nate Diaz when they meet on Saturday in The Ultimate Fighter 18 finale at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
Maynard's record is magnificent, and he was seconds away from having Dana White wrap the lightweight belt around his waist on New Year's Day 2011, when he knocked champion Frankie Edgar down three times in the first round of their bout at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.
But Maynard is just 1-2-1 in his last four fights and a loss to Diaz on Saturday would literally mean a year or more climb back to relevancy in the division.
The fighters are so evenly matched at the highest levels of the division that losses take on a lot more meaning. A series of losses can be a killer to one's title hopes.
Manny Pacquiao's dominant outing revives talk of potential Floyd Mayweather fight
Kevin Iole at Yahoo Sports11 days agoPacquiao used his blinding hand and foot speed to batter Brandon Rios into submission on Saturday at CotaiArena in his first fight in nearly a year after being knocked cold.
Following a lost year in 2012, which included losses to Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez and dropping his position as the best fighter in the world not named Mayweather to Andre Ward, Pacquiao seemed to regain his mojo fighting before an energized crowd of supporters.
The sellout crowd of 13,101 lustily roared at every Pacquiao combination that landed. Pacquiao went hard, early and often, to the body and easily won the unanimous decision.
Judge Michael Pernick saw it 120-108, a shutout, the same as Yahoo Sports. Lisa Giampa scored it 119-109, giving Rios the eighth. Manfred Kuechler scored the fight 118-110, judging the third and eighth rounds for Rios.
Manny Pacquiao batters Brandon Rios, dedicates effort to Typhoon Haiyan victims
Kevin Iole at Yahoo Sports11 days agoRios was no match for Pacquiao, as he absorbed powerful blows from all angles throughout the bout before a sell-out crowd of 13,101 at CotaiArena. Rios showed a dogged determination and an iron chin, but he wasn't fast enough to fend off the aggressive Pacquiao.
The last time Pacquiao stepped foot inside of a ring, he was knocked cold by Juan Manuel Marquez last year in Las Vegas, creating fears that he was finished as a fighter.
He dispelled that notion on a Sunday morning in China, getting out of bed to deliver a frightful beatdown to a game but outclassed opponent. It was a win he dedicated to his countrymen, who were devastated by Typhoon Haiyan two weeks prior to the fight.
"This isn't about my comeback," Pacquiao said. "My victory is a symbol of my people's comeback from a disaster, a national tragedy."
Judges had it 120-108, 119-109 and 118-110 for Pacquiao. Yahoo Sports scored it 120-108 for Pacquiao, calling all 12 rounds for the Filipino superstar.
As big as Manny Pacquiao-Brandon Rios bout is in Macau, it's a step to even bigger things
Kevin Iole at Yahoo Sports12 days agoMACAU – Bob Arum sat in the middle of a beautiful restaurant, nibbling at a piece of tiramisu, a look of absolute contentment covering his face.
The room was filled with people who'd made the trek to southern China to watch Manny Pacquiao face Brandon Rios in the 12-round main event of an HBO Pay-Per-View show in CotaiArena in the Venetian Macau.
[Also: Pacquiao, Rios camps trade derogatory slurs and get into melee]
Arum, who has promoted boxing for 47 years, will turn 82 next month. He playfully flirted with a ring-card girl, and held court with a group of boxing writers. He was never more in his element.

Missing Elmhurst couple found
ELMHURST – An elderly Elmhurst couple reported missing on Saturday have been found, according to Elmhurst Police.
Vernon Schweisthal, 89, and Elaine Schweisthal, 85, both of Elmhurst, were reported missing by family after they failed to appear for a lunch appointment Friday in Mount Prospect.
The couple was found Sunday morning in Bureau County, Illinois, police said, after a passing driver saw the Schweisthal's car pulled off the main road and onto a side road leading into a high corn field.

Jack Johnson Tickets and Concert Dates
"I can't tell you anything but the truth." These words, sung by Jack Johnson in his latest studio album, To The Sea, define the ethos of a man born and raised in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
You could say it was a father's solo sail from California to Hawaii that opened his son's future fate and underpinned it with a personal mythology, but it was Jack's ability to learn his own lessons from life and the sea that birthed his astonishing alchemy of music and poetry.
Truth has found plenty of room to breathe in each of Jack's albums (and in all of his work, from surfing films to his nonprofit, the Kokua Hawaii Foundation), and it comes home to a deeper heart in To The Sea. Here, with his brothers in music - Adam Topol (drums), Merlo Podlewski (bass), and Zach Gill (piano and melodica) - he's on a journey to the center of himself, and to all of us.
It's a transformational crossing, a wide gyre (musically and lyrically) circling home. "You and your heart shouldn't feel so far apart," he sings in the album's opener ... and then:
Road signs were stolen
Left here holding this flame
Who stole my patience
Who stole my way
I'm lost
I'm too tired to try
Jack is all about closing the distance, bridging the gap between who we are and the invisible stories that have shaped us. But even while his music is about bringing things together, he always seems aware of the larger truth:
You're so sweet to me
In a world that's not always fair ...
We could watch it from the clouds
We can't stop it anyhow
It's not ours
It's not ours ... and then there's the realization that all of this is transient, that this moment and this time will vanish from our lives as surely as our ancestors:
I don't want you to know
Let's not go to sleep tonight
It's not that it goes too fast
It's just that it goes at all
Out there in the so-called real world, some things are inevitable:
These problems they breathe
Their fire is real ...
Even when you're asleep
They'll be here still
Breathing out or in
So the call is to dig deep, and then dig deeper:
Run my dear son
We've got to get to the trees
And then keep on going all the way ...
We've got to get right down to the sea
"Water is the subconscious," says Jack, "and that water for me is the ocean. To get to the sea is being able to dig in and touch things that aren't on the surface. That reference - that 'we've got to get to the sea' - is about a father leading his son to try to understand himself."
Inevitably, each of us is here to follow our own path, to discover the inner myths that have unconsciously formed us and framed our journey:
It said, shadows cut across the hero's face
He falls from grace until a little bird sang
'The truth is never ending
we're just here pretending
lets all laugh so that we don't cry' ...
Jack's music has a way of winning you over and bringing you back into yourself, which is to say that his music and lyrics have a universality. He's found a language that goes to the heart, borne on music that seems to bridge lost connections. If not exactly explaining, this effect at least points to his worldwide appeal and his way of bringing all sorts of people together. Jack Johnson's music is like something contagious that's also good for you.
So ... there's a myth about a young man who goes to sea, and he sails alone across the greatest ocean. He sails through storms. He catches fish, he learns to navigate by the stars ... he comes to Hawaii ... and he has a son, and the son, too, goes to the sea ... again and again, following and leading ... into the present ... into the very real and unknown.
I can't tell you anything but the truth.
What is this place? Who am I? Why did we come here?
I don't know. But I don't know that we're meant to know.
- Drew Kampion, 2010

Mammogram reports – BI-RADS
The American College of Radiology (ACR) has developed a standard way of describing mammogram findings. In this system, the results are sorted into categories numbered 0 through 6. This system is called the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS). Having a standard way of reporting mammogram results lets doctors use the same words and terms and ensures better follow up of suspicious findings. Here's a brief review of what the categories mean:
X-ray assessment is incomplete
Category 0: Additional imaging evaluation and/or comparison to prior mammograms is needed.
This means a possible abnormality may not be clearly seen or defined and more tests are needed, such as the use of spot compression (applying compression to a smaller area when doing the mammogram), magnified views, special mammogram views, or ultrasound.
This also suggests that the mammogram should be compared with older ones to see if there have been changes in the area over time.
X-ray assessment is complete
Category 1: Negative
There's no significant abnormality to report. The breasts look the same (they are symmetrical) with no masses (lumps), distorted structures, or suspicious calcifications. In this case, negative means nothing bad was found.
Category 2: Benign (non-cancerous) finding
This is also a negative mammogram result (there's no sign of cancer), but the reporting doctor chooses to describe a finding known to be benign, such as benign calcifications, lymph nodes in the breast, or calcified fibroadenomas. This ensures that others who look at the mammogram will not misinterpret the benign finding as suspicious. This finding is recorded in the mammogram report to help when comparing to future mammograms.
Category 3: Probably benign finding – Follow-up in a short time frame is suggested
The findings in this category have a very good chance (greater than 98%) of being benign (not cancer). The findings are not expected to change over time. But since it's not proven benign, it's helpful to see if an area of concern does change over time.
Follow-up with repeat imaging is usually done in 6 months and regularly thereafter until the finding is known to be stable (usually at least 2 years). This approach helps avoid unnecessary biopsies, but if the area does change over time, it allows for early diagnosis.
Category 4: Suspicious abnormality – Biopsy should be considered
Findings do not definitely look like cancer but could be cancer. The radiologist is concerned enough to recommend a biopsy. The findings in this category can have a wide range of suspicion levels. For this reason, some doctors may divide this category further:
- finding with a low suspicion of being cancer
- finding with an intermediate suspicion of being cancer
- finding of moderate concern of being cancer, but not as high as Category 5
Not all doctors use these subcategories.
Category 5: Highly suggestive of malignancy – Appropriate action should be taken
The findings look like cancer and have a high chance (at least 95%) of being cancer. Biopsy is very strongly recommended.
Category 6: Known biopsy-proven malignancy – Appropriate action should be taken
This category is only used for findings on a mammogram that have already been shown to be cancer by a previous biopsy. Mammograms may be used in this way to see how well the cancer is responding to treatment.
BI-RADS reporting for breast density
Mammogram reports can also include an assessment of breast density. BI-RADS classifies breast density into 4 groups:
BI-RADS 1: The breast is almost entirely fat
This means that fibrous and glandular tissue makes up less than 25% of the breast
BI-RADS 2: There are scattered fibroglandular densities
Fibrous and glandular tissue makes up from 25 to 50% of the breast.
BI-RADS 3: The breast tissue is heterogeneously dense
The breast has more areas of fibrous and glandular tissue (from 51 to 75%) that are found throughout the breast. This can make it hard to see small masses (cysts or tumors).
BI-RADS 4: The breast tissue is extremely dense
The breast is made up of more than 75% fibrous and glandular tissue. This can lead to missing some cancers.
In some states, the summary of the mammogram report that is sent to patients (sometimes called the lay summary) must contain information about breast density. This information may be worded in lay language instead of the BIRADS categories. Women whose mammograms show BI-RADS 3 or 4 for breast density may be told that they have "dense breasts."
Limitations of mammograms
As is the case with most medical tests, mammography has limitations.
Although breast cancer screening is the best way we have now to find cancer early, finding cancer early does not always reduce a woman's chance of dying from breast cancer. Even though mammograms can detect breast cancers too small to be felt, treating a small tumor does not always mean it can be cured. A fast-growing or aggressive cancer may have already spread before it's found.
The value of a screening mammogram also depends on a woman's overall health status. Detecting breast cancer early may not help prolong the life of a woman who has other kinds of serious or life-threatening health problem such as congestive heart failure, end-stage renal disease, or chronic obstructive pulmonary (lung) disease. ACS screening guidelines emphasize that women with serious health problems or short life expectancies should discuss with their doctors whether to continue having mammograms. Our guidelines also stress that age alone should not be the reason to stop having regular mammograms.
False-negative results
A false-negative mammogram appears normal even though breast cancer is present. Overall, screening mammograms miss about 1 in 5 breast cancers.
The main cause of false-negative results is high breast density. False negatives occur more often among younger women than among older women because younger women are more likely to have dense breasts. Breasts usually become less dense as women age. False-negative results can delay treatment and promote a false sense of security for the woman.
False-positive results
A false-positive mammogram looks abnormal but no cancer is actually present. Abnormal mammograms require extra testing (diagnostic mammograms, ultrasound, and sometimes biopsy) to find out if cancer is present.
False-positive results are more common in women who are younger, have dense breasts, have had breast biopsies, have breast cancer in the family, or are taking estrogen. *With annual screening, over a 10-year period the odds that a woman will have a false-positive finding are greater than 50%. The odds of a false-positive finding are highest for the first mammogram, and are lower on subsequent mammograms. Women who have prior films available for comparison reduce the odds of a false-positive finding by 50%.
False-positive mammograms can cause temporary anxiety. The extra tests needed to be sure cancer isn't there cost time and money and also cause physical discomfort. Still, most studies of attitudes towards false positives have shown that women accept false positive findings as part of the process of finding breast cancer early.
Overdiagnosis and overtreatment
While screening mammograms can find invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS, cancer cells in the lining of breast ducts) that need to be treated, it's also possible that some invasive cancers and DCIS detected on mammography will not keep growing. This means that some tumors are not life-threatening, and never would have been detected if a woman had not gotten a mammogram. Since doctors can't tell these cancers from those that will grow and spread, our only hint that overdiagnosis may exist is through statistical analysis that compares the number of cancers found by mammography over long periods of time with the numbers of cancers that would have been expected without screening. Overdiagnosis is a concern because an overdiagnosed cancer still needs to be treated. This means that some women are treated unnecessarily. These cases would be considered overtreatment, which exposed the women to the adverse effects of cancer therapy. Because doctors often cannot be sure which cancers and cases of DCIS will become life-threatening, they are all treated. Although there is a wide range of estimates of the percentage of breast cancers that might be overdiagnosed by mammography, the most credible estimates range from 0-10%.
Radiation exposure
Mammograms require very small doses of radiation. The risk of harm from this radiation is extremely low, but in theory, repeated x-rays might have the potential to cause cancer. Still, the benefits of mammography outweigh any possible harm from the radiation exposure.
Women should always let their health care providers and x-ray technologists know if there is any chance that they are pregnant, because radiation can harm a growing fetus.

U.S. stocks are poised for a higher start Wednesday, following Spain's announcement of drastic cuts as it aims for fiscal responsibility.
Dow Jones industrial average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures were higher Wednesday morning. Stock futures indicate the possible direction of the markets when they open at 9:30 a.m. ET.
Investors began the day welcoming a renewed Spanish focus on fixing its debt dilemma. In a speech to parliament, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said the country would cut €65 billion ($79.6 billion) in less than three years by reducing government and raising taxes. Meeting budget deficit reduction targets would require austerity and more efficiency, he said.
"We will significantly reduce the number of public institutions," Rajoy promised.
The speech came after European finance ministers agreed late Monday to offer the struggling country an initial €30 billion by the end of the month to help bail out its troubled banks. Yields for Spanish 10-year bonds, which have hovered around the perilous 7% level in recent weeks, fell to 6.67% Wednesday.
Ryan Larson, head of equity trading at U.S. RBC Global Asset Management in Chicago, said the speech gave a boost to U.S. futures.
"It's sending the message to the market that they're willing to address the problems more immediately," he said.
Meanwhile on the domestic front, the Federal Reserve will release the minutes of its latest policy-making meeting Wednesday afternoon, possibly offering clues about whether any further central bank intervention is looming.
Investors have been watching for any signs of another round of quantitative easing -- this time called QE3. While that will likely shake up markets, it won't do much for very long, according to Kim Caughey Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh.
"It doesn't fix a darn thing," she said. "It's a shot of energy, a Red Bull for the market. It doesn't last long, but it feels great when it's happening and makes asset prices rise. It's the U.S.'s way of kicking the can down the road."
U.S. stocks closed lower Tuesday, as worries about corporate earnings falling short of expectations unnerved investors. No major corporate results are expected Wednesday, though reports are due later in the week from JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.
World markets: European stocks were mixed in midday trading. Britain's FTSE 100 slid 0.1% and France's CAC 40 fell 0.3%, while the DAX in Germany gained 0.5%.
Asian markets ended mixed. The Shanghai Composite added 0.5% and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong edged higher by 0.1%, while Japan's Nikkei fell 0.1%.
Economy: The U.S. trade deficit stood $48.7 billion in May, coming in just slightly below expectations. It dropped from $50.1 billion the prior month.
The next report out Wednesday morning will be wholesale inventories at 10 a.m. ET. A survey of analysts by Briefing.com expect wholesale inventories for May increased by 0.3%.
The Federal Reserve will release its minutes at 2 p.m. ET.
Companies: When JPMorgan reports earnings Friday, the bank is expected to show how much it has lost so far due to the risk taking of its London Whale trader. The report could generate even more interest if, as The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, the bank will make an example of executives behind the errors and reclaim stock from them worth millions.
Currencies and commodities: The dollar fell against the euro, British pound and Japanese yen.
Oil for August delivery rose 96 cents to $84.87 a barrel.
Gold futures for August delivery fell $2.90 to $1,576.90 an ounce.
Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury fell, pushing the yield up to 1.52% from 1.50% late Tuesday.

World brieflySuicide bombing kills Turkish guard at US Embassy
ANKARA, Turkey - In the second deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic post in five months, a suicide bomber struck the American Embassy in Ankara on Friday, killing a Turkish security guard in what the White House described as a terrorist attack. Washington immediately warned Americans to stay away from all U.S. diplomatic facilities in Turkey and to be wary in large crowds. Turkish officials said the bombing was linked to leftist domestic militants. The attack drew condemnation from Turkey, the U.S., Britain and other nations and officials from both Turkey and the U.S. pledged to work together to fight terrorism. "We strongly condemn what was a suicide attack against our embassy in Ankara, which took place at the embassy's outer security perimeter," said White House spokesman Jay Carney. As siege in Alabama rolls into 4th day, authorities release photo MIDLAND CITY, Ala. - Authorities have released a photo of a man they say killed a school bus driver and abducted a 5-year-old boy before taking refuge in an underground bunker. Police on Friday released a photo of Jimmy Lee Dykes. Authorities say Dykes and the kindergartner have been in the bunker since the school bus shooting Tuesday. Authorities say they have been talking to Dykes through a pipe leading to the bunker, but they have not revealed what the conversations have been about. There are signs the standoff could go on for some time. The shelter has electricity, food, TV, and police have delivered the boy's medication through the 4-inch-wide pipe. Obama administration offers faith groups new accommodation on mandate WASHINGTON - Facing a wave of lawsuits over what government can tell religious groups to do, the Obama administration on Friday proposed a compromise for faith-based nonprofits that object to covering birth control in their employee health plans. Some of the lawsuits appear headed for the Supreme Court, threatening another divisive legal battle over President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law, which requires most employers to cover birth control free of charge to female workers as a preventive service. The law exempted churches and other houses of worship, but religious charities, universities, hospitals and even some for-profit businesses have objected. The government's new offer, in a proposed regulation, has two parts. Administration officials said it would more simply define the religious organizations that are exempt from the requirement altogether. For example, a mosque whose food pantry serves the whole community would not have to comply. For other religious employers, the proposal attempts to create a buffer between them and contraception coverage. Female employees would still have free access through insurers or a third party, but the employer would not have to arrange for the coverage or pay for it. Insurers would be reimbursed for any costs by a credit against fees owed the government. Clinton's last day: A resignation letter, farewell to her staff, disappointment at her critics WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton formally resigned Friday as America's 67th secretary of state, capping a four-year tenure that saw her shatter records for the number of countries visited. In a letter sent to President Barack Obama shortly before she was to leave the State Department for the last time in her official capacity, Clinton thanked her former foe for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination for the opportunity to serve in his administration. Clinton said it had been an honor to be part of his Cabinet. "I am more convinced than ever in the strength and staying power of America's global leadership and our capacity to be a force for good in the world," she said in the letter. Her resignation will be effective on the swearing-in of her successor, John Kerry, who was to take the oath of office in a private ceremony later Friday. Clinton pushed through a throng of American foreign service workers who clamored for handshakes and smartphone photos with her and gave an emotional goodbye speech. Egyptian protesters march presidential palace as cracks emerge within opposition ranks CAIRO - Protesters denouncing Egypt's Islamist president hurled stones and firebombs through the gates of his palace gates on Friday, clashing with security forces who fired tear gas and water cannons, as more than a week of political violence came to Mohammed Morsi's symbolic doorstep for the first time. The march on the palace in an upscale district of the capital was part of a wave of demonstrations in cities around the country called by opposition politicians, trying to wrest concessions from Morsi after around 60 people were killed in protests, clashes and riots. But many of the protesters go further, saying he must be removed from office, accusing his Muslim Brotherhood of monopolizing power and failing to deal with the country's mounting woes. Many have been further angered by Morsi's praise of the security forces after the high death toll, which is widely blamed on excessive use of force by the police. The day's unrest, however, risked boosting attempts by the government and Brotherhood to taint the opposition as violent and destructive - a tack Morsi supporters have taken for weeks. In a statement issued amid the clashes, Morsi said "political fores involved in incitement" are responsible for the violence and spoke of an investigation. He called on all factions to condemn what he called an attempt to break into the palace and said security forces would "act decisively to protect state institutions." New federal rules aim to make school snacks more healthful WASHINGTON - Goodbye candy bars and sugary cookies. Hello baked chips and diet sodas. The government for the first time is proposing broad new standards to make sure all foods sold in schools are more healthful, a change that would ban the sale of almost all candy, high-calorie sports drinks and greasy foods on campus. Under new rules the Department of Agriculture proposed Friday, school vending machines would start selling water, lower-calorie sports drinks, diet sodas and baked chips instead. Lunchrooms that now sell fatty "a la carte" items like mozzarella sticks and nachos would have to switch to healthier pizzas, low-fat hamburgers, fruit cups and yogurt. The rules, required under a child nutrition law passed by Congress in 2010, are part of the government's effort to combat childhood obesity. While many schools already have made improvements in their lunch menus and vending machine choices, others still are selling high-fat, high-calorie foods. Under the proposal, the Agriculture Department would set fat, calorie, sugar and sodium limits on almost all foods sold in schools. Current standards already regulate the nutritional content of school breakfasts and lunches that are subsidized by the federal government, but most lunch rooms also have "a la carte" lines that sell other foods. And food sold through vending machines and in other ways outside the lunchroom has not been federally regulated. Games such as 'Battlefield' likely to follow Pentagon's lead on women in combat LOS ANGELES - Lara Croft. Samus Aran. Jill Valentine. Chell. In the realm of video games, it's not difficult to identify tough-as-nails women who uncover ancient treasures, blast away aliens, battle zombies and outwit malicious robots. However, when it comes to finding fictional females who take down terrorists, call in airstrikes, frag combatants and capture enemy outposts, you'd probably be more likely to walk in on a woman in the men's room. While video games aren't totally devoid of strong female protagonists, the interactive medium has typically only cast ladies in support roles when it comes to such popular military shoot-'em-up franchises as "Call of Duty" and "Battlefield." Yet could the recent announcement that the Pentagon is ending its long-standing ban on women serving in combat roles in real-world battlegrounds extend to virtual ones, too? "I wouldn't be surprised if the developers working on these shooters incorporated it as a story point in their games," said game designer and "Sex in Video Games" author Brenda Romero. "It could make for an amazing narrative: 'It's her first role in combat and she's determined to make a difference!' Who wouldn't want to pursue something like that and have a bad-(expletive) female soldier in a game?" Romero's husband, John Romero, who worked on such landmark first-person shooters as "Doom" and "Quake," agrees with his wife. As games have evolved beyond rescuing princesses from gorillas, players have come to expect deeper levels of personalization, evidenced by the popularity of such be-whatever-the-heck-you-wanna-be role-playing games as "Skyrim," "Mass Effect" and "World of Warcraft." |

2 + 8 = Glass: Android Desktop Phone Seeking Market Entry
The Android based, VoIP-capable Glass phone with a chip each for operating system and telephony plus an 8" touchscreen is supposed to welcome a new era in business telephony.
The California startup Cloud Telecomputers has transplanted the Android GUI with its touchscreen onto an 8" diagonal business phone display. Apart from the 800 x 600 pixel resolution, the company hasn't made too many of its hardware specifications public. Only that the device has a USB connection to a computer, provides another USB port for peripherals and includes a handset and speakerphone for analog or Fast Ethernet with a maximum 100-MByte transfer rate. Two ports have Ethernet so that you can connect the phone to the LAN and the computer to the phone. Power over Ethernet (PoE) also precludes the need for a power chord.
On the inside, the phone has dual system-on-chip (SoC) configuration. The SoC with the OMAP processor from Texas Instruments is the Android carrier that handles the display and touchscreen. The other SoC is the VoIP, SIP and audio processor. Both are connected by an internal IP network. The VoIP system runs a telephony server over an API to Android and the Android side has a corresponding telephony client.
The San Francisco company's announcement appeals to OEMs and resellers. The former can obtain CAD diagrams, schematics and material lists for the device. Included are the Android-based operating system and APIs, a development environment, client software for Windows and MAC, and update and support services. Resellers can obtain the hardware and software from Cloud Telecomputers and can apply their own logo to the SIP phones. Bluetooth integration even allows pairing with your mobile phone. The desktop phone should also work seamlessly with the Salesforce customer relationship manager and Outlook, when it comes to the calendar.

The Cardinals have a new starting quarterback. They hope that sentence doesn't have to be written again for at least two more years. They completed a trade with Oakland for quarterback Carson Palmer on Tuesday and agreed to a two-year contract with Palmer that's worth $16 million, $10 million of which is guaranteed. In exchange for Palmer and the Raiders seventh-round pick this year, (219th overall), the Cardinals sent one of their two sixth-round picks this year (176th) and a conditional seventh rounder in 2014. Palmer had dinner with Cardinals executives on Monday night, and the deal was completed Tuesday morning. Palmer becomes the Cardinals starting quarterback, with Drew Stanton, a free agent acquisition, filling the backup's role. The Cardinals have two other quarterbacks on the roster: Brian Hoyer and Ryan Lindley.

Crown Point wins Fifth Straight Stagg Title behind Four-Time Champ Roach
By Curt Herron Illinois Matmen Saturday turned out to be another story of repeat performances at Stagg's Dave Anderson Chargers Invite. Indiana's top-ranked team, Crown Point, captured its fifth straight title in the competition, outdistancing Lincoln-Way East 242.5-203 for top honors. The Bulldogs captured six individual titles, led by four-time champion Eric Roach, who won at 152, and three-time champion Jason Tsirtsis, who was first at 140. Roach, an undefeated state champion a year ago and a three-time state placewinner and Indiana University-recruit, joins an exclusive club of four-time Stagg Invite champs. The only other four-time champions in the nearly 30-year history of the competition are Andrew's Joey Gilbert and Bolingbrook's Kyle Jahn. Roach, earned his spot in the Stagg Invite record books when he pinned Waubonsie Valley's Jason O'Brien in 2:46 in the 152 finals. "It's definitely exciting and an honor to win this tournament for the fourth time," Roach said. "And it's always fun to wrestle against Illinois guys since we don't do it very often and it's two different styles. "After not knowing much about this tournament when I won it as a freshman, my second and third titles here were pretty exciting matches. This year as a senior I'm trying to go out and dominate against everyone." Tsirtsis, who is a two-time Indiana state champion, won the tournament's MVP award after beating defending tourney champ Kevin Moylan of Stagg by a technical fall. Other title winners for the Bulldogs were Josh Fuqua (103), Matt Harvey (125), Kyle Shrewsbury (171) and another defending champion, Tyler Kral (215). Lincoln-Way East turned in its best finish in the tournament since 2006 and had one champion, Kyle Langenderfer, who won 11-1 at 145 over Crown Point's Josh Flamme, a defending champ. A more complete story will appear on coach Tyrone Byrd's East squad later today. The Griffins are the latest program to join Illinois Matmen's news coverage. The other individual who captured a second Stagg title on Saturday is Bolingbrook senior Frankie Campos, who helped the Raiders to third place with 144.5 points. Campos, who won the title at 112 last season and then took sixth place at the state meet in the same weight class, took top honors at 119 this year. In the championship match at 119, Campos defeated Bradley-Bourbonnais' Jacob Iguartua with a technical fall by a 20-5 score. "Coming into the tournament I was a little nervous about wrestling at 119 against some kids who are bigger than me," Campos said. "But when I saw they weren't as strong as I thought, I knew I could do better against them. "I'd like to place higher than sixth at state, hopefully in the top four at 119 and if I can do that, it will be a great accomplishment for me as a senior. Winning the Stagg tournament at 119 is a good start to my season." The Raiders had one other individual in a title match, Jordan Laster, who dropped a 5-3 decision to Crown Point's Fuqua in the 103 finals. Claiming third place finishes for Bolingbrook were Alfredo Najera (130), Lazarick Mahomes (135) and Bryant Etherton (189) while Chris James (285) placed fourth. Bradley had a successful day, receiving individual titles from William Thompson (130), Adam Dahl (135) and Tyler Villarreal (160) to finish fourth with 133 points. In the finals, Thompson beat Crown Point's Cameron Halsted 9-2, Dahl pinned Champaign Central's Julian Anastasia in 3:52 and Villarreal was a 7-2 winner over Waubonsie Valley's Elton Manuel. The Boilermakers also received second-place efforts from Iguartua (119) and Chris Foster (125), who fell 8-2 to Crown Point's Harvey, plus a fourth-place finish from Colton Jensen (145). Andrew had a pair champions, Jake Ferguson (189) and Cory Chojnowski (285), to help it to a fifth-place finish with 109 points. In the finals, Ferguson got a pin in 5:27 over Lincoln-Way East's Chris Graf while Chojnowski recorded a 7-0 victory over Waubonsie's Adam Szott. "I wouldn't have gotten here without my practice partners and my coaches," Ferguson said. "It was a great feeling to go out there and win this tournament so I could start the season well and hopefully it gets me noticed." The T-Bolts also received a third-place effort from Doug Platt (171) while Sean McMahon (112) and Alex Thill (160) both turned in fourth-place showings. Reavis finished sixth with 100.5 points and was led by Anthony Doory, who lost 10-0 in the 171 finals to Crown Point's Shrewsbury. Claiming third-place finishes for the Rams were Josh Arnold (112) and Brian Taraszka (119) while Ryan Klimczak (135) settled for a fourth-place effort. Thornwood was seventh with 90 points behind third-place finishers Brandon Loyd (145) and Aaron Richmond (152) and fourth-place medalists Felipe Ambrosio (125) and Michael Willis (140). Romeoville's Darshawn Hardy beat Crown Point's Colton Saroff 4-0 in the 112 finals to help his team to eighth place with 85 points. "I've been coming here for three years and always wanted to win this because it's a tough tournament," Hardy said. "Winning this title today makes me feel like I can have a great season as long as I work hard every day." Also for the Spartans, Caleb Ramos (125) finished third while Aaron Brooks (119) and Robert Jones (215) claimed fourth-place showings. Waubonsie placed ninth with 79 points with Jason O'Brien (152), Elton Manuel (160) and Adam Szott (285) all falling in previously-mentioned title matches. Stagg finished tenth with 77 points, Shepard was 11th with 71 points while Champaign Central took the last position with 70 points. Steve Monaco (215) joined Moylan as a second-place finisher for the Chargers after dropping a 12-2 title decision to Crown Point's Kral. Last edited by admin; 12-05-2010 at 09:11 AM. |

The last two weeks we have been learning about severe weather. There were four main different types of severe weather that we studied. They were tornadoes, lighting, hurricanes, and flash floods. Our teacher Mrs. Adams then gave the project we would with learning about the different weather. So in class we each were given one of the four weather topics to find facts and information about it. Then every one collected their facts and organized them with topics like safety, associated weather, and history. After all that was done we had a graded group discussion about the weather with the people who were learning about the same topic. The people learning about the other topics listen in to the discussion and took notes. I thought it was a good way of learning about the different types of severe weather.

I live in a new construction townhouse and would like to raise my first floor ceilings from 8 ft to 9 ft. Is it possible to do so without touching the roof. My hallway ceiling going to the second floor is 13 ft tall. I hoping their is some space between the two floors to do such a big project. | |||
JC, Highly unlikely. Some townhomes are built with floor trusses which can be quite deep but they can't be modified to raise the ceiling height. Also even when you're building raising the ceiling on a two story house is not as simple as using longer studs in the walls. It throws off the stair design and you may not be able to get the longer run required for the higher ceiling height. Welcome to the boards. General Disclaimer Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance. My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. | ||||

Tapbots' Paul Haddad talks WWDC and Tweetbot
Tapbots co-creator and developer Paul Haddad was kind enough to sit down at WWDC 2012 to talk about the keynote, and about their hugely popular Twitter client, Tweetbot.
We lost the dedicated audio recording, unfortunately, so all we have is the crappy camera recording. Apologies about that (we had several mic failures during the event -- suffice it to say, we're getting all new audio gear for next time).
There are 5 comments. Add yours.
I think I'll wait till you add subtitles. You do plan on adding subtitles, don't you? As it stands, this is extremely hard to follow for a non-native speaker especially.
