By HOWARD FENDRICH, Associated Press
PARIS (AP) — There was a moment, a little past 4 p.m. on a dank and dreary Sunday at the French Open, when the gray sky above appeared to be falling on some of the best of the best.
A listless Novak Djokovic, looking very little like someone ranked No. 1 and bidding to become the first man in 43 years to win four consecutive Grand Slam titles, was trying to work his way out of a two-set deficit against 22nd-seeded Andreas Seppi of Italy on Court Philippe Chatrier.
Even more astonishingly, a flummoxed Roger Federer, owner of a record 16 major championships, was trudging to the sideline after dropping his first set against 109th-ranked David Goffin of Belgium, a 21-year-old kid thrilled merely to be sharing Court Suzanne Lenglen with his idol. Goffin, it must be noted, was a "lucky loser" — a player beaten in qualifying who got to make his Grand Slam debut only because someone else withdrew.
By that point, one significant upset already was complete Sunday: The No. 1-seeded woman, Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka, was headed home after losing to No. 15 Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia 6-2, 7-6 (4), busting a racket on the way out the door.
Asked afterward what she'll do to recover from the defeat, Azarenka replied sarcastically, "I'm going to kill myself," then added: "This tournament is over for me. What's to recover from?"
It seemed reasonable, if ever so briefly, to ask in the afternoon whether the tournament might soon be over in the fourth round for Djokovic and Federer, too. In the end, of course, the answer was no.
For quite some time, Djokovic missed shots this way and that, then shook his head or yelled at himself or spread his arms wide with palms up as if to ask, "What's going on here?" He finished with 81 unforced errors in all, exactly his total for his first three matches combined. But Seppi's not nearly as accustomed to these stages or stakes, and Djokovic pulled out a 4-6, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 victory, his 25th in a row at a major tournament.
"One of those days where ... nothing is working," Djokovic said. "I could not get into the rhythm."
He began to turn things around by breaking serve to begin the third set, and he kept on doing that, nine times in all.
"Maybe I could have started the third set better. I could have done a little more there," Seppi said. "But he returns very well, and gets serves back almost always, which makes things difficult."
Djokovic recognized that part of his problems early on had to do with better-than-expected play by Seppi, who knocked off No. 14 Fernando Verdasco to get past the third round at a major tournament for the first time.
So after they shook hands at the net when Djokovic finally closed out the 4-hour, 18-minute win, the Serb applauded Seppi and pointed toward the Italian, telling the crowd to salute him.
The third-seeded Federer, the 2009 champion at Roland Garros, did that one better after his 5-7, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4 victory, giving Goffin a tap on the head and a pat on the backside when they were done playing, then hugging him at the crowd's behest during an on-court interview.
What a thrill for the Belgian, who unabashedly spoke earlier in the tournament about having photos and posters of Federer up in his bedroom as a child.
"I've had an extraordinary week," said the slender Goffin, who might be mistaken for a ball boy. "The icing on the cake was to play here against Roger."
Once Federer seized control in the second and third sets, the outcome never really seemed in doubt. In the last set, Goffin won one point with a touch volley, then raised his index finger — signaling No. 1 — and, to the delight of roaring spectators, bowed to all four corners of the arena.
Later, Goffin explained, it felt as though "the stadium was on fire."
Federer's quarterfinal opponent will be No. 7 Tomas Berdych or No. 9 Juan Martin del Potro, whose match was suspended because of darkness with 2009 U.S. Open champion del Potro ahead, two sets to one. Djokovic, meanwhile, will face No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or No. 18 Stanislas Wawrinka, who also will resume Monday, with Tsonga leading 4-2 in the fifth set.

Paloma Faith on fame: 'I feel weird when people approach me in the supermarket'Stylish singer Paloma Faith says that when she declines fans' requests to take photos with her it's simply because she feels like she's not working or in the role of performer. Speaking about how she deals with fame, the '30 Minute Love Affair' star explained that her job is to be a singer so when she's going about her day and is doing things that aren't associated with her career she finds it difficult to cope with the attention: "I think I'm quite a private person despite what I project with my personality, and I do see my work and my personal life very separate. When I don't feel like I'm working and people ask me if they can take my picture, or paparazzi jump out on me, I don't get upset I just feel it's weird." "Sometimes I'm just like 'I'd really rather not, do you mind? It's not me saying go away, it's me saying I feel the same as you." She added that people approach her in the most unlikely places and she often finds herself spotted in supermarkets: "I find it very odd to deal with people wanting to have their pictures taken with me when I'm in the supermarket."

We have all the information we need at our fingertips, right?
Well, sort of. Thanks to the internet, there's plenty of information out there. But students still need to be taught how to use that information responsibly.
My high school sophomores write a research paper using MLA endnote citation, and it's not their first. Our high school requires an acceptably written research paper each year, and our students move on well prepared. It's not an easy task for students or teachers — lots of grading, as you can imagine.
How do you successfully teach research techniques? Here are some suggestions:
1. Consider your students' level and ability. Ours is a unit school (PK – 12), and research techniques are introduced in the lower school. Don't expect students to know it all, obviously. Consider this a building block project; raise the bar a bit every year.
2. Break the project down into bite-sized bits, and communicate the schedule clearly.
3. Communicate your source expectations clearly and early. If using internet sources, teach students how to discern between the good and the bad.
4. Check student work each step of the project so you can catch big problems while they can be more easily fixed. It's a lot easier for a student to fix source problems early than it is when the weight of typing the entire paper is on his shoulders.
5. Be flexible but consistent. Flexible with those of differing abilities and those with less exposure to this kind of project. Consistent with deadlines, especially with those familiar to the project. If you start moving deadlines around, it's harder for the students and the teacher.
6. Talk about the problem of plagiarism, and take it seriously. CBS News did a great story on the subject, and Youtube has a number of good videos you can show your students. Watch and pick one that will speak to them.
7. Be sure your students understand documentation at the appropriate level – or they'll find themselves plagiarizing. Show them how to give credit where credit is due. Choose the method that will work best for you and your students and give them examples. There are many websites that show examples and some that even put the information into citation form for you, but choose one for your students so they can be sure they're following your instructions.
8. Reward them on the day the paper is due! A research paper is a lot of work. Your students will have learned a valuable skill and worked hard, so bake some them brownies!
No matter what field they enter, all our students will have to handle information. They'll have to discern between credible and bogus sources, and as people of character, they should all know how to give credit where credit is due.
What about you? Do your students undertake a research project? Share some of your suggestions with us.

Every state counts in this very close election race but we're gonna continue our look at the battleground states that likely will determine.
The outcome in November today we're checking out New Mexico.
This is one of the western states that President Obama won pretty handily last time around.
If you look at the stats there are five electoral votes up for grabs in New Mexico.
The unemployment rate though looking pretty good there six point 6% is the rate.
Compare that the national average of eight point 3% a New Mexico is doing pretty well.
It may be the reason that President Obama has not visited there yet in this campaign season Mitt Romney has been there once.
Part of the reason is because of the poll numbers you can see there President Obama with a 5238%.
Over Mitt Romney in New Mexico Michael Coleman is the Washington bureau chief for the Albuquerque journal he joins us from Tampa.
Is that unemployment rate connected to the president's popularity you know a lot of the conventional wisdom is that when the unemployment rate.
Continues the way it has nationally.
An incumbent has problems getting reelected if New Mexico is at six point 6% that's look.
I'm pretty good.
Yeah I'm sure that -- doesn't help that New Mexico as a relatively unemployment.
Low unemployment rate.
We we also have a lot of state government jobs and federal jobs there are so that sort of factors and I think in part to help keeping it low.
But certainly that doesn't heard Obama's chances that they you know he -- laid a good ground game in 2008 New Mexico and I think he's been able to perpetuate there.
That there -- New Mexico and you know so far so good for him but we've still got a little ways ago.
And yet you've got Susanna Martinez addressing the Republican National Convention what does that do for your state.
Well I think that'd -- in and fired -- the Republicans last night here in the convention hall in Tampa and you know I think that it elevates New Mexico's profile certainly by all accounts that virtually she did a good job last night.
Delivering that speech most people that know who she was before last night but not millions of people do and I think -- be a very effective surrogate for Mitt Romney especially with Hispanics and women.
But obviously the people of New Mexico know her -- if she is up there endorsing Mitt Romney and I mean does her political star power.
In your state carry enough weight that she might deliver it.
To the to the Romney called.
It certainly doesn't hurt that it I think it depends on what she does in the ground in the state you know her endorsement.
Helps Mitt Romney.
Yeah I think it depends on how much does she works and gets out in this southern part of the state where all the conservatives are try to get them enthusiastic about the base.
And I know can -- Republican congressman Steve Pearce is also doing a lot Mitt Romney.
You raise a million and a half bucks for him last week in New Mexico itself they're working hard to try to get those numbers go to the other direction for Mitt Romney.
I noted a moment ago that Mitt Romney has made a campaign appearance in New Mexico when he did so the backdrop was energy and oil drilling.
He has made that a significant part of his campaign and and stresses the president's opposition to things like the Keystone Pipeline.
Is he -- any votes there.
It certainly doesn't -- we've got a lot of oil and gas.
People in New Mexico especially southern New Mexico he went to visit you misdemeanor and further Obama hasn't been to New Mexico he actually was -- New Mexico campaigning in.
Interestingly enough he he also went to southern New Mexico to the oil patch and talked about energy so energy oil and gas and the jobs associated with those industries are huge in New Mexico.
Well five electoral votes up for grabs there in New Mexico and they could be crucial Michael Coleman.
Thank you.

The council is trying something new this summer by bringing the improv comedy group The Society to Ed Kenley Amphitheater on July 21. Featuring well-known local actor Kirby Heyborne, the group offers family friendly comedy that's created live on-stage.
"This is different for us," said DAC Executive Director Kirt Bateman, specifying that the council has never included improv comedy as part of its summer season. "But I know Kirby, and I know he's hilarious, so we thought we'd give them a shot."
Improv comedy is a style where none of the jokes are written out in advance, and the humor is often derived from audience suggestions. One of the performers will use the idea to get the ball rolling, and other performers will flesh out the scene live on-stage in a way designed to get as many laughs as possible.
The decision to include the group is part of Davis Arts Council's goal of getting younger audiences into the amphitheater.
"Improv is loved by people in their late teens and early 20s," said Bateman. "But I know our regular audience is also going to have a great time."
Regulars to DAC shows also won't have to worry about the kind of jokes they might be hearing.
For more information check out July 19 edition of Davis Clipper.

This is a guest post by Martha Taylor.
It seems that when summer approaches, more and more companies are taking on interns – and why not? It's basically free labor.
Some companies use interns as part of their marketing department. They allow them to sit in on meetings, help out with projects and maybe even tackle bigger projects of their own. But having a marketing intern is not always the safest bet for your company, and before you decide to hire a marketing intern, here are five ways they can be putting your company at risk.

Big bucks if you can find some shards!!!!
The story has been updated.
Thanks for the fix. Weed? Hmmm.
The Mandela is a communist/terrorist argument is asinine for a few reasons:
1) ANC is no more a terrorist organization than the Continental Congress. The argument for the ANC being a terrorist organization is that it occasionally attacked civilians, even though it's military activities predominantly targeted government installations (police stations, military bases, etc). The Continental Congress argument links easily, because some US Militias attacked Tories, murdering some, and killing others. Mandela has never been linked to ordering an attack on civilians, although he supported violent action against government targets.
2) The ANC is a 'communist organization' because it received funding from the USSR. The Continental Congress argument works well here as well--you might as well call the Continental Congress a pro-Absolute Monarchist organization, because they took funding from the French. The political beliefs of the organization can be discerned from the policies enacted when it is in power. At least under Mandela, the ANC was democratic, principled, and committed to reconciling white and blacks who were at each others' throats.
It should be "...Wood receives oral sex...", not "...Weed receives oral sex..."
This is actually covered in the U.S. Flag Code.
From § 7, paragraph (m) "In the event of the death of other officials or foreign dignitaries, the flag is to be displayed at half-staff according to Presidential instructions or orders, or in accordance with recognized customs or practices not inconsistent with law."
I don't think Arpaio will get a visit from the secret service for not lowering the flag, but the choice isn't exactly his to make.
The code does allow for private individuals to see it as just a guideline, and there are no consequences for refusing to do so. Arpaio is an elected official, so it would be prudent for him to comply, his personal opinions aside.
I have reaching out to the Maricopa PIO, but they aren't responding.
Elizabeth S.- you are partially correct; the state DOES have more rights than it's citizens do (observe the attitude and case handling of the AZ atty gen's office against civil rights - there must be a public case study of their claims mis-handling somewhere - maybe filed next to the 6,000 CPS records that were also mis-handled). The news agencies willingly look the other way - why do you think their anchor people suffer from depression or relocate employment after years in our media market? While Nelson Mandela is a civil rights hero to most, he is seen as the opposite by those who would seek to deny basic civil rights and revel in flying the flag at full mast at his departure.
Arpaio sits in good company with another alleged toughest law man of a bygone era J. Edgar Hoover who only after his demise did the "real Hoover come forth from his closet", one has to wonder what a psychiatrist/psychologist would diagnosis is wrong with a man who likes to put other men in pink undies, feed them twice a day, feed them green bologna, deny them medical care, have inmates die mysteriously under his care? Sadist, devotee of the Marquis De Sade comes to my mind, he was one demented fellow of his time and guess Arpaio is in our time, racist is the least of the dark demons lurking in Arpaio's closet!
Hahaa.. Yeah that's not very good. Worst part about it is I don't know if I actually wrote that (I hope not) or if I spelled exorbitant wrong, and my computer, who thinks it is smart, corrected me - to that.
I write all day, and that is not even close to the worst mishap my chubby fingers have churned out on a key board.
Again though, not like the old Dirty Dozen days. I like it the way it was, I will go check it out, but, well, we will see.
Perhaps attracting some frat boys, but I see DD in there quite often.
Many people would find anything racist that has anything whatsoever to do with any blacks. If you dont like obama or his policies you get called a racist when race has nothing to do with it, he is just a lousy president.
Yes, Mandela brought peace to South Africa, but through terrorism! He was an admitted communist and terrorist that plotted from his cell. Yes some of his biggest supporters were communists. Why should we lower the flag for him? No he was not an American and did nothing for America, yet obummer goes to his funeral. Margaret Thatcher was our closest allie during the cold wat and this idiot of a president sent no one! Was that disrespect called racist by whites? Btw, the separation of powers piece was right on. Too bad our schools didnt teach civics and government better, and with common core they are only going to get worse.
All these civic lessons and they do not seem to include freedom of speech. The fact that the sherrif's office is controlling what a news agency is disbursing is completely ignored while we are lectured on state's rights.
Well, what's there is better than "absorbent", which was what I saw this morning. :-)
Although the court filing indicating that the new firm is additional, and not a straight substitution of law firms, adds nuance to the story, I doubt the real story is different from what the district released to the Star. It makes sense that with a case of this type of factual intensity, TUSD would want old and new counsel to work together in transition. I doubt that HT's desire for a fresh look means that he wants to pay two, instead of one law firm for the long run. His comments indicate the opposite. Judge Brammer's connections with both firms are interesting. Mari is correct. We will have to wait and see.
To those who commented on my post, I think you missed the point. I was not supporting Arpaio's decision, I was attempting to make an ironic comment about his politics as April 30th, 1945 marks the death of Adolf Hitler. Ignorance is evidently not limited to the right wing.
Thieves and Con Artists.............
I ate there twice last week. Very good.. the Flank steak was excellent as were the salads and the pannecota was excellent...

*2nd Hint* It also has to do with establishing freedom and democracy in South Africa, and successfully bringing reconciliation between people there.

This post has nothing to do with this subject, but I had to put it somewhere. You'll be happy to know that Desmond Howard isn't the only one screwing up their analysis on ESPN. I just watched the halftime of Kentucky - Clemson and Lou Holtz is talking about the Buckeye rushing attack.
Q: What's the caption on the screen say?
A: "Michigan running attack key to Wolverine win"
And no, they weren't talking about Michigan prior to mentioning OSU. I can understand screwing up Texas and Texas A&M, but never confuse the Buckeyes and Wolverines, it just ain't right. - December 29, 2006 3:26 PM

In theory I suppose that you would only have to erase the RB3 content from the files you have on your computer if the other things are working properly though I don't know how you would do that because they aren't exactly labeled as anything that I can make sense of, just letters and numbers that the Wii and Wii U will recognize.
If everything else on the SD card is working properly with your Wii U, I think my suggestion would be to just get a separate SD card for the RB3 stuff that way you won't have to worry about erasing the other stuff and the SD card should work for RB3 out of the box since it doesn't have the old data that is conflicting.
If on the other hand the other things on the SD card are not working with the Wii U, unfortunately moving them to the computer, formatting the card and then putting the items back onto the card will not solve anything because the files are still encrypted in the exact same way as before the card was formatted.
As far as formatting, (assuming you're using Windows) put the SD card in a computer, go to my computer and select the SD card drive (ex: Removable Drive [H:]), right click it and select the format option, check the quick format box and click start, wait for the process to finish. You should then be good to go to use it in the Wii U.

Edward IV (28 April 1442 – 9 April 1483) was King of England from 4 March 1461 until 3 October 1470,[1][2] and again from 11 April 1471 until his death in 1483. He was the first Yorkist King of England.[3] The first half of his rule was marred by the violence associated with the Wars of the Roses, but he overcame the Lancastrian challenge to the throne at Tewkesbury in 1471 to reign in peace until his sudden death. Before becoming king he was 4th Duke of York,[4] 7th Earl of March, 5th Earl of Cambridge and 9th Earl of Ulster. He was also the 65th Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece.
Accession to the throne[edit]
Edward of York was born at Rouen in France, the second child of Richard, 3rd Duke of York (who had a strong genealogical claim to the throne of England[5]), and Cecily Neville. He was the eldest of the four sons who survived to adulthood. His younger brother Edmund, Earl of Rutland, died along with his father at Wakefield in 1460. The Duke of York's assertion of his claim to the crown in 1460 was the key escalation of the conflict known as the Wars of the Roses. When his father died, his claim did not die with him, and Edward inherited it.
With the support of his cousin Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick ("The Kingmaker"), Edward defeated the Lancastrians in a succession of battles. And while the Lancastrian Henry VI and Queen Margaret of Anjou were campaigning in the north of England, Warwick gained control of the capital and had Edward declared King in London in 1461. Edward strengthened his claim with a decisive victory at the Battle of Towton in the same year, in the course of which the Lancastrian army was virtually wiped out. Even at the age of nineteen, he had remarkable military acumen and a notable physique, being described as handsome and affable. His height is estimated at 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m), making him the tallest among all English, Scottish and British monarchs to date.[6]
Warwick, believing that he could continue to rule through Edward, pressed him to enter into a marital alliance with a major European power. Edward then alienated Warwick by secretly marrying Elizabeth Woodville, the widow of a Lancastrian sympathiser, in 1464.
Elizabeth's mother was Jacquetta of Luxembourg, widow of Henry VI's uncle, John of Lancaster, Duke of Bedford, but her father, Richard Woodville, 1st Earl Rivers, was a newly created baron. Elizabeth's marriage to Edward IV made the unmarried among her twelve siblings desirable matrimonial catches.
Although they posed no immediate threat to Warwick's own power, Warwick resented the influence this group had over the King and, with the aid of Edward's disaffected younger brother George, Duke of Clarence, Warwick led an army against Edward.
The main part of the king's army (without Edward) was defeated at the Battle of Edgecote Moor in 1469, and Edward was subsequently captured at Olney. Warwick then attempted to rule in Edward's name, but the nobility, many of whom owed their preferments to the king, were restive, and with the emergence of a counter-rebellion, Warwick was forced to release Edward.
At this point Edward did not seek to destroy either Warwick or Clarence but instead sought reconciliation. Nevertheless, a few months later in 1470 Warwick and Clarence rebelled again. This time they were defeated and forced to flee to France. There, they made an alliance with Margaret of Anjou, and Warwick agreed to restore Henry VI in return for French support in an invasion, which took place in late 1470. This time, Edward was forced to flee when he learned that Warwick's brother, John Neville, 1st Marquess of Montagu, had also switched to the Lancastrian side, making Edward's military position untenable.
Henry VI was briefly restored to the throne in 1470 in an event known as the Readeption of Henry VI, and Edward took refuge in Burgundy, accompanied by his younger brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester. The rulers of Burgundy were his brother-in-law Charles, Duke of Burgundy, and his sister Margaret of York. Despite the fact that Charles was initially unwilling to help Edward, the French declared war on Burgundy. This prompted Charles to give his aid to Edward, and from Burgundy he raised an army to win back his kingdom.
When Edward returned to England with a relatively small force, he avoided capture. The city of York only opened its gates to him after he promised that he had just come to reclaim his dukedom – just as Henry Bolingbroke had done seventy years earlier. As he marched southwards he began to gather support, and Clarence (who had realised that his fortunes would be better off as brother to a king than under Henry VI) reunited with him. Edward entered London unopposed, where he took Henry VI prisoner. Edward and his brothers then defeated Warwick at the Battle of Barnet, and with Warwick dead he eliminated the remaining Lancastrian resistance at the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471. The Lancastrian heir, Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales, was killed on the battlefield. A few days later, on the night that Edward re-entered London, Henry VI died. One contemporary chronicle claimed that his death was due to "melancholy," but it is widely suspected that Edward ordered Henry's murder in order to remove the Lancastrian opposition completely.
Edward's two younger brothers, George, Duke of Clarence, and Richard, Duke of Gloucester (later King Richard III of England), were married to Isabel Neville and Anne Neville. They were both daughters of Warwick by Anne Beauchamp and rival heirs to the considerable inheritance of their still-living mother, leading to a dispute between the brothers. In 1478, Clarence was eventually found guilty of plotting against Edward, imprisoned in the Tower of London and privately executed on 18 February 1478: according to a long standing tradition he was "drowned in a butt of Malmsey wine".
Later reign and death[edit]
Edward did not face any further rebellions after his restoration, as the Lancastrian line had virtually been extinguished, and the only rival left was Henry Tudor, who was living in exile.
In 1475, Edward declared war on France, landing at Calais in June. However, the failure of his ally Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, to provide any significant military assistance led him to undertake negotiations with the French. He came to terms with the Treaty of Picquigny, which provided him with an immediate payment of 75,000 crowns and a yearly pension of 50,000 crowns. He also backed an attempt by Alexander Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany, brother of King James III of Scotland, to take the Scottish throne in 1482. Gloucester led an invasion of Scotland that resulted in the capture of Edinburgh and the king of Scots himself, but Albany reneged on his agreement with Edward. Gloucester decided to withdraw from his position of strength in Edinburgh. However, Gloucester did recover Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Edward's health began to fail, and he became subject to an increasing number of ailments. He fell fatally ill at Easter 1483, but lingered on long enough to add some codicils to his will, the most important being his naming of his brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, as Protector after his death. He died on 9 April 1483 and was buried in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. He was succeeded by his twelve-year-old son, Edward V of England (who was never crowned) and then by his brother, Richard.
It is not known what actually caused Edward's death. Pneumonia and typhoid have both been conjectured, as well as poison. Some attributed his death to an unhealthy lifestyle, as he had become stout and inactive in the years before his death.
An extremely capable and daring military commander, Edward destroyed the House of Lancaster in a series of spectacular military victories; he was never defeated on the field of battle. Despite his occasional (if serious) political setbacks — usually at the hands of his great Machiavellian rival, Louis XI of France — Edward was a popular and very able king. While he lacked foresight and was at times cursed by bad judgement, he possessed an uncanny understanding of his most useful subjects, and the vast majority of those who served him remained unwaveringly loyal until his death.
Domestically, Edward's reign saw the restoration of law and order in England (indeed, his royal motto was modus et ordo, or "method and order"). The latter days of Henry VI's government had been marked by a general breakdown in law and order, as well as a sizeable increase in both piracy and banditry. Interestingly, Edward was also a shrewd and successful businessman and merchant, heavily investing in several corporations within the City of London. He also made the duchy of Lancaster property of the crown, which it still is today. During the reign of Henry there had been corruption in the exchequer. Edward made his household gain more control over finances and even investigated old records to see payments had been made. Documents of the exchequer show him sending letters threatening officials if they did not pay money. His properties earned large amounts of money for the crown.
The court[edit]
The court of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville was described by a visitor from Europe as "the most splendid ... in all Christendom".[7] Edward spent large amounts on expensive status symbols to show off his power and wealth as legitimate monarch of England. His collecting habits show that he was not only a good soldier and administrator, but had an eye for fashionable style and an interest in scholarship, particularly history. In addition to fine clothes, jewels and furnishings, he acquired a collection of beautifully illuminated historical and literary manuscripts, many of which were made specially for him by craftsmen in Bruges.[8][9] The contents of these works tell us something of his interests: they focus on the lives of great rulers including Julius Caesar,[10] historical chronicles,[11] as well as instructional and religious works.[12] These were books for both entertainment and instruction. It is not known where or how Edward's library was stored, but it is recorded that he transferred volumes from the Great Wardrobe to Eltham Palace and that he had a yeoman "to kepe the king's bookes".[13][14] The fact that more than forty of his books survive intact from the 15th century, suggests that they were carefully stored together.[15] Today they form the foundation of the Royal Collection of manuscripts at the British Library.
Ultimately, despite his military and administrative genius, Edward's dynasty survived him by little more than two years, but Edward was one of the few male members of his dynasty to die of natural causes. Both Edward's father and brother were killed at the Battle of Wakefield, while his grandfather and another brother were executed for treason. Edward's two sons were imprisoned and disappeared (presumed killed) within a year of Edward's death. The king's youngest brother, Richard, (later Richard III) was famously killed in battle against Henry Tudor at Bosworth Field.
Ancestors of Edward IV of England |
Marriage and children[edit]
Edward IV had ten children by Elizabeth Woodville, seven of whom survived him. They were declared illegitimate by Parliament in 1483, clearing the way for Richard III to become King.[16] The Act mentioned above, Titulus Regius (King's Title), was promptly repealed by Henry VII, thereby legitimizing those whom that Act had made illegitimate. In fact, Henry Tudor not only had the Act repealed without being read, he made it a crime to possess a copy or even to mention it.
- Elizabeth of York, queen consort to Henry VII of England (11 February 1466 – 11 February 1503).
- Mary of York (11 August 1467 – 23 May 1482).
- Cecily of York (20 March 1469 – 24 August 1507); married first John Welles, 1st Viscount Welles and second Thomas Kyme or Keme.
- Edward V of England (4 November 1470 – 1483?); briefly succeeded his father, as King Edward V of England. Was the elder of the Princes in the Tower.
- Margaret of York (10 April 1472 – 11 December 1472).
- Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York (17 August 1473 – 1483?). Was the younger of the Princes in the Tower.
- Anne of York, Lady Howard (2 November 1475 – 23 November 1511); married Thomas Howard (later 3rd Duke of Norfolk).
- George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Bedford (March 1477 – March 1479).
- Catherine of York (14 August 1479 – 15 November 1527); married William Courtenay, 1st Earl of Devon.
- Bridget of York (10 November 1480 – 1517); became a nun.
Edward had numerous mistresses. The best known was Elizabeth Shore, also called Jane Shore.[17]
He reportedly had several illegitimate children:
- By Elizabeth Lucy (or Elizabeth Wayte).
- Elizabeth Plantagenet (born circa 1464), married Thomas Lumley, Esquire, of Beautrove, Durham before 1478.[18][19]
- Arthur Plantagenet, 1st Viscount Lisle (1460s/1470s – 3 March 1542).
- By unknown mothers. Recent speculations suggests them as children by Lucy or Waite.
- Grace Plantagenet. She is known to have been present at the funeral of her stepmother Elizabeth Woodville in 1492.[20]
- Mary Plantagenet, married Henry Harman of Ellam, son of Thomas and Elizabeth Harman and widower of certain Agnes.[21]
- A daughter said to have been the first wife of John Tuchet, 6th Baron Audley.[22]
Perkin Warbeck, an impostor claimant to the English throne, who claimed to be Edward's son Richard of Shrewsbury, reportedly resembled Edward. There is unconfirmed speculation that Warbeck could have been another of Edward's illegitimate sons.
Edward IV's eldest son was invested with the title of Prince of Wales at the age of seven months. At the age of three, he was sent by his father to Ludlow Castle as nominal head of the Council of Wales and the Marches, a body that had originally been set up to help the future Edward V of England in his duties as Prince of Wales. The prince was accompanied to Ludlow by his mother and by his uncle, Anthony Woodville, 2nd Earl Rivers, who carried out many of the administrative duties associated with the presidency of the Council. The king visited his son occasionally at Ludlow, though, as far as is known, he never ventured into Wales itself. It is clear that he intended this experience of government to prepare his son for the throne.
Although his son was quickly barred from the throne and replaced by Richard of Gloucester, Edward IV's daughter Elizabeth of York later became the Queen consort of Henry VII of England. The grounds for Titulus Regius, passed to justify the accession of Richard of Gloucester, were that Edward had been contracted to marry another woman prior to his marriage to Elizabeth Woodville. Lady Eleanor Butler (a young widow, daughter of John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury) and Edward were alleged to have been precontracted; both parties were dead by this time, but a clergyman (named only by Philippe de Commines as Robert Stillington, Bishop of Bath and Wells), claimed to have carried out the ceremony. The declaration was repealed shortly after Henry VII assumed the throne, as it illegimitised Elizabeth of York, who was to be his queen.
The final fate of Edward IV's legitimate sons, Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, is unknown. Speculation on the subject has given rise to the "Princes in the Tower" mystery.

Questions about his paternity were raised during Edward's own reign (for example by Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, in 1469, and repeated by George shortly before his execution in 1478), and again by Richard of Gloucester's supporters in the brief reign of Edward V. This was a period in which illegitimacy was viewed as sinful and a bar to public life; accordingly, it was a frequent accusation levelled against public figures by their enemies. Edward was not the only one to be accused of illegitimacy in the 15th century: Charles VII of France, Edward of Westminster (son of Henry VI of England), and Joanna "La Beltraneja" of Castile also had this accusation slung at them by enemies seeking to disinherit them. Thus, for centuries historians viewed the story as no more than propaganda designed to discredit Edward and his heirs. In recent years, the question has been given real consideration; however, there is limited evidence that Richard of York was not the biological father of Edward IV, and that which might exist is subjective and open to interpretation.
The claims were based around Edward's appearance and the circumstances surrounding his overseas birth. During his own lifetime, it was noted that Edward showed little resemblance to his father. Unlike his father, he was well over six feet tall, an exceptional height for the age; but notably, his younger brother George was also tall and fair, (and said to bear a marked resemblance to Edward), whilst their sister Margaret stood five feet eleven inches, remarkable for a mediaeval woman (observers of her wedding to Charles the Bold of Burgundy remarked that the bride towered over the groom - she had to lean down to receive his kiss).[23]
Dominic Mancini claimed that when Edward's mother, Cecily Neville, found out about Edward's marriage to Elizabeth Woodville in 1464, she flew into a rage and offered to declare him a bastard. However, this episode is not reported by contemporary sources, which instead condemn the pair for making an unequal and inappropriate marriage in dubious circumstances.
Prior to his succession, on 22 June 1483, Richard III declared that Edward V was illegitimate, and three days later the matter was addressed by parliament. In Titulus Regius (the text of which is believed to come word-for-word from the petition presented by Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, to the assembly which met on 25 June 1483, to decide on the future of the monarchy), Richard III is described as "the undoubted son and heir" of Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York, and "born in this land" — an oblique reference to his brother's birth at Rouen and baptism in circumstances which could have been considered questionable. There is no confirmation for the view – as fictionalised in William Shakespeare's Richard III (Act 3, Scene 5) – that Richard made any claims about his brother's legitimacy, as his claim was based on the supposed illegitimacy of Edward IV's children. According to Polydore Vergil, Duchess Cecily, "being falsely accused of adultery, complained afterwards in sundry places to right many noble men, whereof some yet live, of that great injury which her son Richard had done her." If she had indeed complained – as would befit a high-ranking lady of renowned piety, as she had been regarded – these petitions may have had some effect: the allegations were dropped and never again pursued.
Edward was born on 28 April 1442. No contemporary evidence refers to him as being born prematurely. Accordingly, counting back nine months from birth would date his conception to late July 1441. A 2004 Channel 4 television documentary examined records in the archives of Rouen Cathedral, which indicated that from 14 July to 21 August 1441 Richard, Duke of York, was away on campaign at Pontoise, several days' march from Rouen (where Cecily of York was based), and that prayers were being offered at the cathedral for his safety. The programme also drew attention to the fact that the christening celebration of Edmund, Earl of Rutland, the second son of Richard and Cecily, was a lavish affair at the cathedral, whereas the christening of Edward, the firstborn, was low key, and in a side chapel. The programme concluded that Edward was not "Britain's Real Monarch". However, there is no strong reason to suggest Edward could not be premature: premature birth would not necessarily be mentioned in contemporary sources, and prematurely-born children could survive the perilous years of early childhood (Edward's grandson, Arthur, Prince of Wales, was at least 1 month premature and lived to the age of 15, outliving several siblings); high infant mortality meant baptisms were often performed quickly, Cecily had already had children who had died young, and if Edward was indeed premature, there would be good cause for a hurried baptism. Richard, Duke of York, would have had every right, even a duty, to challenge the child's paternity if it was in doubt; refusing to do so, and allowing a child he knew was not his to remain his heir and an heir to the English throne, was tantamount to treason. However, he acknowledged Edward as his eldest son. Therefore, if the low-key nature of the ceremony was meant to be publicly taken as indicative of the child's illegitimacy, he would be impugning his wife's honour, and exposing himself as a cuckolded husband into the bargain, to no good end. Furthermore, he raised Edward as his heir, and nothing in their interactions suggests Edward was other than a well-loved and cherished eldest son and heir.
Even if Edward IV was illegitimate, he could in any case claim the crown from Henry VI by right of conquest. He also had a direct (albeit legally barred) blood-claim to the throne through his mother Cecily, who was a great-granddaughter of Edward III through John of Gaunt and his illegitimate daughter (Cecily's mother) Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland. Although this claim is via an illegitimate line, it is the same as the claim of Henry Tudor, who dislodged the House of York from the throne in 1485.

- ^ York was a direct descendant of Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York, the fourth surviving son of Edward III. The House of Lancaster was descended from John of Gaunt, the third surviving son of Edward III, and as such had a superior claim over the House of York. However, Richard Plantagenet's mother was Anne de Mortimer, the most senior descendant of Edward III's second surviving son, Lionel of Antwerp. Lionel had been the eldest son of Edward III to leave a surviving line of descent; as such, by modern standards, his line had an indisputably superior claim over that of his younger brother, John of Gaunt. By contemporary standards, this was by no means so certain; nonetheless, it allowed Richard and then Edward a good title to the throne.

KRIV is the Fox owned-and-operated television station in Houston, Texas. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 26 from a transmitter in unincorporated northeastern Fort Bend County (near Missouri City). Owned by 21st Century Fox subsidiary Fox Television Stations, KRIV is sister to MyNetworkTV outlet KTXH and both stations share studios on Southwest Freeway in Houston (between the Uptown and Greenway Plaza districts).
Early history[edit]
Channel 26 signed on for the first time on August 15, 1971 under the callsign KVRL. It was the third UHF station in Houston after KHTV (channel 39, now KIAH) and KVVV-TV (channel 16, which lasted only for 18 months) to sign on the air. Four years after signing on, the station's call letters were changed to KDOG – a callsign chosen by former station general manager Leroy Gloger. Another former general manager, Jerry Marcus commented (upon his retirement) that he saw them appropriate during the station's formative years as, in his words, channel 26 was a "dogged station" ratings-wise. The station's slogan during this timeframe was "Where Every Dog Has His Day." During this period, the station aired English-language general entertainment programming such as old cartoons, sitcoms, and old movies during the daytime hours, along with Spanish-language programs including telenovelas, movies and serial drama series at night. For its first two decades on the air, channel 26 originally operated from studios located at 3935 Westheimer Road in Houston's Highland Village section.
Acquisition by Metromedia[edit]
In May 1978, Metromedia purchased the station and changed the station's call letters to the current KRIV, named in honor of then-Metromedia executive Albert Krivin. Jerry Marcus, general sales manager of Metromedia's WTTG in Washington, D.C., was hired to manage channel 26's operations, remaining until his retirement in December 1999. This influx of dollars from Metromedia's investment in the station resulted in KRIV acquiring higher-profile syndicated programs and by 1983, the establishment of its news department. The station ran a general entertainment format complete with cartoons, sitcoms, movies, first-run syndicated shows, locally produced talk shows and one of the few Spanish language public affairs programs on television at the time. Overall, the station's viewership ranked near KHTV, a more well-established outlet, over the years.
As a Fox owned-and-operated station[edit]
In 1986, Australian newspaper tycoon Rupert Murdoch purchased KRIV and the other five television stations in the Metromedia group, all of which became the founding owned-and-operated stations of his new television network, the Fox Broadcasting Company. The acquisition resulted in channel 26 and the other former Metromedia stations to suddenly adopt a more sophisticated on-air appearance for a network, that at the time, did not exist. A unified music and graphics package was featured on all of the original Fox-owned stations, including KRIV, which was consistently noted for featuring graphics that were among the first of their kind for local television. The station changed its on-air branding to the current "Fox 26" upon Fox's 1986 launch.
As a Fox owned-and-operated station, KRIV acquired more first-run syndicated programming. In 1993, KRIV joined several other Fox owned stations in launching a weekday morning newscast, resulting in the removal of the station's morning cartoon block, although it continued to run afternoon children's programming from Fox Kids, until the network discontinued the weekday Fox Kids block nationwide in the fall of 2001.
In 1997, KRIV moved from its original studios on Westheimer Road to a state-of-the-art digital facility near the Southwest Freeway (the former studio facilities currently house a Central Market food store, owned by the grocery chain H-E-B). and upgraded the look of its newscasts with the debut of a brand new set, graphics, news theme ("The Edge" by VU Music, now Cue11) and a new multi-paned rectangle logo similar to those implemented by other Fox-owned stations following the network's 1994 affiliation agreement with New World Communications.
With this upgraded presence in Houston, channel 26 went from outperforming former independents KTXH and KHWB (the former KHTV, now KIAH) to regularly challenging the market's Big Three stations (KPRC-TV, KHOU and KTRK-TV) in the ratings. During this time KRIV's studios also became a taping location for various syndicated programs produced by 20th Television, including the court shows Texas Justice, Cristina's Court and Judge Alex. In mid-August 2006, channel 26's website adopted the MyFox website design originally designed by Fox Interactive Media. This technically marked the station's first serious online venture in a number of years, as the station's previous 2001-era website served as somewhat of a placeholder and contained little station information.

Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]
On June 12, 2009, the federally mandated date for American television stations to cease analog transmissions across the country, KRIV ceased broadcasting programming on analog UHF channel 26. Its digital signal was relocated from UHF channel 27 to its pre-transition UHF analog channel 26.[1][2]
News operation[edit]
KRIV presently broadcasts about 52½ hours of local newscasts each week (with 8½ hours on weekdays and five hours each on Saturdays and Sundays); in regards to the number of hours devoted to news programming, it is the second-highest local newscast output among the broadcast television stations in the Houston market. As is common with Fox stations that carry early evening newscasts on weekends, KRIV's Sunday 5 p.m. newscast is subject to preemption due to NFL football or NASCAR coverage and the Saturday 6 p.m. newscast is subject to delay due to Major League Baseball or college football coverage.
Since February 2008, KRIV's 9 p.m. newscast has been simulcast on Corpus Christi Fox affiliate KUQI (channel 38). A simulcast of that program was subsequently began airing on Beaumont affiliate KUIL-LD on September 14, 2009 (ironically, KUIL-LD lost its Fox affiliation nine months earlier to the market's former NBC affiliate KBTV-TV). KRIV is the third station to have been owned by Fox whose newscasts have been simulcast on stations in nearby markets (WJBK/Detroit ran a two-hour simulcast of its weekday morning newscast on WFQX/Cadillac, Michigan, and then began simulcasting the second half-hour of its weeknight 10 p.m. newscast from 2007 to 2008; former Fox-owned station WDAF-TV/Kansas City also simulcast its morning and 9 p.m. newscasts on Fox affiliate KTMJ-CD/Topeka during that same timeframe).
KRIV has touted its newscasts as the fastest growing in the Houston area ratings, and had outperformed KPRC's newscasts during the February 2007 sweeps period. During Jan Jeffcoat's tenure as morning anchor from 2004 to 2007, KRIV saw a major jump in ratings, surpassing KPRC in the mornings (though still behind ABC-owned KTRK-TV and CBS affiliate KHOU). The station's flagship 9 p.m. newscast often trails behind in the ratings, and KRIV's newscasts still trail in overall viewership behind KHOU and KTRK (both of which battle for first place in Houston TV ratings books, with KTRK's dominance dating back to the 1970s); however, channel 26's newscasts perform well among young women 25-35, and teenagers, which are both key audiences for KRIV.
Prior to the formation of KRIV's news department, the station ran hourly local news updates during programming from 1971 to 1983. Full-fledged newscasts on channel 26 began in 1983, with the debut of the flagship 9 p.m. newscast as the first major primetime news program in the market. In 1987, the station formed an investigative unit, and a program called City Under Siege, which aired after the late evening newscast. Originally hosted by anchors Jim Marsh and Fran Fawcett, the show was actually a predecessor to one of the Fox network's later standout hit series, COPS.
The station launched an hour-long 5 p.m. newscast on weekdays on August 18, 2008. This later expanded to weekends on July 7, 2012, with the debut of an hour-long 5 p.m. newscast on Saturday and Sunday evenings (prior to that newscast's expansion to weekend evenings, KRIV was one of only two Fox-owned stations – alongside Chicago sister station WFLD – that did not have an early evening newscast seven nights each week); that same date, KRIV debuted a three-hour newscast on Saturday and Sunday mornings.[3]
On January 31, 2009, KRIV became the fourth television station in Houston behind KHOU, KTRK-TV and KPRC-TV to launch local news in high definition. With the transition came the adoption of a new high-definition version of the standardized graphics package used on Fox's owned-and-operated stations. On September 7, 2009, the station expanded its weekday morning newscast to five hours with the launch of Fox 26 Morning News Extra as a less formal, hour-long newscast at 9 a.m. On March 29, 2010, KRIV became the first station in Houston and the first Fox-owned station to start their morning newscasts at 4 a.m., with the addition of a sixth hour to its morning newscast.

There are two parts to the directory. The top section allows you to search by location for a therapist; the second sections allow you to specify the therapist's areas of expertise.
In the top section, you may search on one – or more -- of: City, State, County, ZIP code. You can also specify a Last Name if you are trying to find a specific therapist. Each selection in this section NARROWS your search, so if you specify New York State, all therapists in New York State will appear; if you specify New York State and Kings County, only therapists in New York practicing in Kings County will appear. Using the ZIP code function is useful especially in conjunction with the radius search (radius only works in conjunction with ZIP and not with city or state) because it allows you to cross state and county lines.
The lower sections, Population or Specialty, allow you to search for therapists who treat a problem. You may combine more than one field. Adding more population and specialty criteria EXPANDS the search, rather than restricts it. For instance, specifying "AIDS" and "Anxiety" in the specialty area will give you any therapist who specializes in AIDS and/or Anxiety and who matches any of the other geographic demographics specified, if any.
If you don't find a therapist who specializes in the disorder you specified, choose either a broader specialty (anxiety instead of panic), add more specialties, or, to make it the broadest search, do not specify any specialties and the search will provide everyone in the geographic region you've selected. You can also leave the specialty area blank, and ALL therapists who practice in the geographic area you selected will appear.
If no therapists are listed with that specialty try contacting a listed therapist located close to you. There is a very good chance that he/she may be able to recommend a Cognitive Behavior Therapist in your geographic area.
To locate a therapist in Canada or another country, type in the name of the country. A map of the world will be displayed and a listing of members will appear at the bottom of the page.
ABCT's Find-a-Therapist service gives you access to therapists schooled in cognitive and behavioral techniques. The therapists listed in Find-a-Therapist are licensed professionals who have met the requirements of membership in ABCT and who have chosen to appear in this directory. Primarily psychologists, psychiatrists, and clinical social workers, the practitioners that participate in this service practice in private practice, clinics, hospitals, and community mental health settings.

LONDON — There may be something even more exciting than performing at an Olympic individual all-around gymnastics final.
Scoring your first Biebs tickets in November!
"We kind of have the same story,'' reasoned Justin Bieber twitter pal Dominque Pegg. "Well, not really, I'm not as famous as him. Obviously. But I came from a small town and had a big dreams, and my dreams are coming true, like his. He really inspires me.''
An incredible run for Canada's women's gymnastics team continued with Pegg finishing 17th in Thursday's individual all-around competition at the North Greenwich Arena.
"I've been blessed so much this week. It might sound corny, but all my dreams are coming true. It's amazing," she said. "The first day we were coming to do our best, our team, get in Top Eight. We did that. We competed and came fifth, and that was more than we could even imagine. Then when I found out I was in all-around ...
"Then Justin Bieber tweeted me. It was so overwhelming.''
The Sarnia native was able to hold her nerve in the hothouse environment of her first Olympics.
"I'm really happy with my performance. I started on beam. I'm usually nervous on my first event and when it's done I kind of get in the mode," she said. "I'm really happy I stayed on the beam. I was a little bit shaky. Floor wasn't my best routines. I had low landings but still ... it's so much fun being out there on that floor, showing it to the crowd. SO amazing.
"Sticking my vault was pretty awesome. [Coach Dave Brubaker] always says 'Save the family.' That's the saying we have in the gym, if we stick the landing your family is safe. Amazing. I can't believe I was out there.''
On her own. With her pals far away, in the stands, cheering her on.
"I was a little lonely out there without my teammates hugging me and cheering me on,'' Pegg admitted. "Everyone was saying 'C'mon, Dom, you nervous at all?' And I was like 'No, I'm not nervous. I'm just gonna be lonely. I'm going to miss you guys.' I could totally hear them in the stands. I knew where they were. And it was fine. It was like they were there. And I knew what they'd be saying to me.''
The Bieber tweets generated quite a stream of publicity.
"He tweeted me. Then he re-tweeted me. What did he say? Before first day of competition for the team I [tweeted him]: 'OK, Justin Bieber, we're going to compete soon. I think it's time you said 'good luck' to us.' He didn't say good luck, he answered me after the competition, saying 'Sorry I'm late to the party but I'll always support you and be proud of you as a proud Canadian.'"
Pegg is a mega-fan of the teen idol. She's never seen him perform live, but will get the chance in a couple of months.
"I'm really excited.''
Now that they're social media chums, maybe a chance to meet him?

Katrina was a real eye opener for me. After the initial shock of the horrible tragedy, I started seeing things I had not had to think about before. I saw people staying in a dome (insteading of leaving on their own) and demanding that the government give them more. Demanding that the government fly them out, feed them more, give them a home, etc. Some did leave occasionaly to go loot flat screen tv's but for the most part, they would go back and demand to be taken care of. When they would show the inside of the dome, people were laying around waiting to be taken care of. They would wait for a tv camera to come to them to say how horrible it was that the government wasn't taking better care of them. When they went to shelters or places where people were evacuated to, they had volunteers who came in and were serving meals and giving out supplies. Not the victims coming together to work or take care of themselves.
I remember one shot on tv that showed a man and two women who were walking out of New Orleans across a bridge. It was a doctor and two nurses who had volunteered to stay to take care of others and, when they did all they could do to help, they walked out themselves. That bridge was there to be walked on by anyone who chose to take care of themselves.
That was a sad day for me when I realized we have created a nanny state. We have people who feel entitled to be taken care of. Perhaps generations of people that expect the government (you and I) to take care of them.
America was built by people who took a hand up...not a hand out. People like my parents who had pride in hard work and self respect. People who took care of themselves.
It certainly changed how I looked at government. If we get to the point where there are more and more people expecting the government to take care of them, we will loose what makes this country so great.
