- Although autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have a substantial genetic basis, most of the known genetic risk has been traced to rare variants, principally copy number variants (CNVs). To identify common risk variation, the Autism Genome Project (AGP) Consortium genotyped 1558 rigorously defined ASD families for 1 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and analyzed these SNP genotypes for association with ASD. In one of four primary association analyses, the association signal for marker rs4141463, located within MACROD2, crossed the genome-wide association significance threshold of P < 5 3 10 exp -8. When a smaller replication sample was analyzed, the risk allele at rs4141463 was again over-transmitted; yet, consistent with the winner's curse, its effect size in the replication sample was much smaller; and, for the combined samples, the association signal barely fell below the P < 5 3 10 exp -8 threshold. Exploratory analyses of phenotypic subtypes yielded no significant associations after correction for multiple testing. They did, however, yield strong signals within several genes, KIAA0564, PLD5, POU6F2, ST8SIA2 and TAF1C.

- While it is apparent that rare variation can play an important role in the genetic architecture of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), the contribution of common variation to the risk of developing ASD is less clear. To produce a more comprehensive picture, we report Stage 2 of the Autism Genome Project genome-wide association study, adding 1301 ASD families and bringing the total to 2705 families analysed (Stages 1 and 2). In addition to evaluating the association of individual single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we also sought evidence that common variants, en masse, might affect the risk. Despite genotyping over a million SNPs covering the genome, no single SNP shows significant association with ASD or selected phenotypes at a genome-wide level. The SNP that achieves the smallest P-value from secondary analyses is rs1718101. It falls in CNTNAP2, a gene previously implicated in susceptibility for ASD. This SNP also shows modest association with age of word/phrase acquisition in ASD subjects, of interest because features of language development are also associated with other variation in CNTNAP2. In contrast, allele scores derived from the transmission of common alleles to Stage 1 cases significantly predict case status in the independent Stage 2 sample. Despite being significant, the variance explained by these allele scores was small (Vm< 1%). Based on results from individual SNPs and their en masse effect on risk, as inferred from the allele score results, it is reasonable to conclude that common variants affect the risk for ASD but their individual effects are modest.

James Howell | Jefferson Post
High winds stripped off the roof of a Glendale man's barn Wednesday night. Ralph Miller, the owner of the barn, said this is the first time his building has been damaged. In spite of the roof's collapse, the equipment house by his building wasn't badly damaged. As a testament to the winds strength, sheets of metal from the roof were scattered all around, some wrapped around nearby trees and posts. Miller said his insurance will cover the wind damage, and he plans to have his building repaired soon.

Renaissance: Artists, restaurants lead Huron Street resurganceWritten by Morgan Delp | | email@example.com
Fred Okun has been around the block a time or two. In fact, he has been around the Huron block between Monroe and Washington streets for 56 years. His company, Sam Okun Produce, sits on the Warehouse District block in Downtown Toledo.
Okun said he grew up on the block and has witnessed its ups and downs.
"I would say in the '50s, '60s, even '70s and so far as to say probably the '80s, this was a busy block. A certain number of years ago, I can quickly count out seven warehouses that were in this block and some of them were really large," Okun said.
Because of a change in the system of farming goods distribution, those businesses started to go out of business, Okun said.
"That's when the block started to, I don't want to say deteriorate, because I don't feel that we ever deteriorated, but it just wasn't the best block," Okun said. "But then when the Mud Hens' stadium was built, that just kind of changed everything."
Fifth Third Field, home to the Toledo Mud Hens, was built in 2002, but it wasn't until a few years later that the area on the Huron Street side of the stadium began to fill with new restaurants and businesses.
Fifth Third Field dominates the south side of the street, from Washington Street to PizzaPapalis on Monroe Street.
The north side of the block is anchored by the offices of Toledo Free Press and The Blarney Irish Pub on Monroe Street and Ye Olde Cock n' Bull Tavern at the corner of Washington and Huron streets. That eatery opened June 7.
The block continues to grow with the creation of multiple artists' studios and the construction of a new Italian restaurant.
Arts abound
John and Madonna Fong have owned and lived in a building on Huron Street since 1983. The artistic couple were among the founders of the Warehouse District, John Fong said.
John used to practice commercial advertising photography in the building until about six or seven years ago.
The couple owns La Luna Salon & Spa in Sylvania.
The tradition of art has continued in his building, as John still takes photographs, including pictures of his orchids. The Fongs also rent a space to Leslie Adams, a nationally-renowned artist who specializes in figurative art and portraiture.
Adams has worked in Downtown Toledo for close to 20 years after growing up in the South End, she said. She worked out of another, smaller studio Downtown before moving to her current location on Huron Street four years ago.
Adams keeps a low profile, not allowing walk-ins to visit her studio, because she is working on her solo exhibit to be displayed at the Toledo Museum of Art from Oct. 19 to Jan. 13. Also, Adams said she wants to respect the privacy of her clients, many of whom are state senators, governors and judges. Adams has created portraits of corporate, religious and civic leaders, including works of Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer and Bishop James R. Hoffman.
Each portrait requires an average of 400 hours of work by Adams and her assistants, Lindsey Wiseman and Jose Rodriguez. Adams employs a traditional technique of portrait painting, which consists of a lengthy process of drawing and painting multiple layers of flesh tones and light. Much of this process is spent really getting to know the subject, physically and on a personal level, Adams said.
"It's a privilege to get to spend so much time with someone and give this gift to them," Adams said. "I get to know who they are as a human being."
For her portrait of former Ohio Gov. Bob Taft, Adams had him pose 15 different times for three to four hours at a time, in addition to the work she did with other models and photographs.
Despite the work she does in Columbus for the government, Adams said she is committed to the Toledo area. When friends ask why she doesn't move to Columbus, since she spends much of her time working there, Adams responds that she loves being Downtown, she loves the neighborhood, the owners, the studio space and the synergy. Her family has also been a factor in her staying in the area.
Adams said the block of Huron is a fun place to work, especially with the emerging artists' studios utilizing different types of art forms. Adams said the other artists on the block, Adam Goldberg, Douglas Kampfer and Jeremy Link, are hardworking and the four have a good sense of camaraderie.
"Here we all are on this little block in Toledo, but we're international and reaching all around," Adams said.
Graphite Design + Build
Kampfer and Link are designer-builders who co-own Graphite Design + Build. The pair has been renovating their new shop on the Huron block since November, when they began renting the building from Okun through a connection with Goldberg, Okun's grandson. Goldberg is in the process of creating Gathered Art Gallery and Studio, where he will practice glass blowing and rent his upstairs space to other artists. Gathered is located between Graphite and Okun Produce.
"[Okun] said these buildings were completely empty and they've been empty for 40 years, so he said, 'Let's do something with them,' so we've been all working together to make the project happen," Goldberg said.
Link, Kampfer and Goldberg expressed gratitude to Okun for his belief in and support of their work.
"The Okuns were really nice to us; they took it easy with rent and everything because they wanted us to be here," Link said.
"Fred Okun basically wants this block to be awesome," Kampfer said. "A year ago this block was pretty much vacant. By the end of the summer, it will be at 100 percent capacity."
Goldberg found Kampfer and Link through the Arts Commission and the Artomatic 419! program that tours potential art studio sites. Goldberg showed the designer-builders one of the smaller, upstairs studios, but because of the large-scale nature of their work, the large warehouse next door to Goldberg was a better fit.
Historic district
"I was involved in helping to get the area all the way from Monroe Street to the Farmers Market as part of the National Registered Historic District," said Paul Sullivan Jr., an architect who has been invested in the Warehouse District since its beginnings. "It certainly encourages and opens up opportunities for renovation once you are listed on the register."
Renovating the 150-year old building posed challenges for the duo, as they had to build floor supports and install their own heating and electricity to make the space usable.
Link and Kampfer said their project is a work in progress and has been a learning experience. Graphite's projects include work for the Metroparks of Toledo Area, the Indianapolis Zoo, a Columbus-based project for a zoo in Saudi Arabia and work for the Toledo Botanical Garden.
"I can't believe we've gotten so much work from [the Metroparks] locally. It's been pretty crazy. Hopefully, our grasp continues to get bigger and wider," Kampfer said.
Graphite should be open by late summer, and while its main focus is not a gallery, the owners believe its location near the Fifth Third Field will benefit the business, Link said.
"There's a lot of foot traffic through here. People always stop and look under our garage door," Link said.
Kampfer said one of the biggest benefits of the Huron block location is the neighborhood it's in. He said he and Link know everyone on the block, a huge advantage for their studio.
Goldberg, who plans to offer classes, sell glass work and open his hot shop to other artists' designs, said that despite the long, hard process of renovating an old fallout shelter into a gallery, he is happy with the location.
Sullivan said there used to be a glass studio called Gallery B, which was owned by Ralph Behrendt, who now owns Flying Rhino Coffee & Chocolate at One Seagate in Downtown. Behrendt's gallery was located at what is now third base at Fifth Third Field, Sullivan said.
"They lost that as part of the construction for the ballpark so I'm delighted to see a glass studio space opening up on the street," Sullivan said.
"Having the Hens' stadium obviously and being neighbors with Toledo Free Press is huge. We are real close to the other art studios, the Secor Building and The Art Supply Depo. Huron always has foot traffic, we can go to The Blarney every day or PizzaPapalis. It's really cool and it's only getting better. And the neighbors are cool, it's great to work with Leslie, Doug and Jeremy," Goldberg said.
Boom's beginning
Bill Thomas, Chief Operating Officer of the Downtown Toledo Development Corp., said businesses didn't spring up immediately after the construction of Fifth Third Field.
"There wasn't a good plan to assist people in developing around [the stadium] at first," Thomas said. "Restaurants are a difficult business, and that was the first new major venue to come. Back then, people weren't aware of Fifth Third Field, plus it's only a five month venue; for seven months, there's nothing."
Thomas said it was the creation of the Huntington Center that gave restaurant owners the confidence to open up on the Huron block and at other Downtown locations.
"The arena is a 12-month venue and has a larger audience and draw in way of demographics," Thomas said. "Not everyone may want to see a baseball game, but the arena has reintroduced a number of people to the Downtown area who now come down because of the arena. They realize how clean, safe, fun the area is."
Jim Mettler, owner of Ye Olde Cock n' Bull, was formerly the general manager of Table Forty4, on Monroe Street close to Huron Street. He said he lives in and loves the Downtown area and when presented with the opportunity to be a part of it as an owner, took advantage of the growing Warehouse District. He acquired the restaurant's space in September 2011 and began construction in January 2012.
"It has taken longer than people expected (to build up around Fifth Third Field)," Mettler said. "People wanted to see others try before they risked their investment."
The pioneer was Ed Beczynski, owner of The Blarney Irish Pub, who moved into the Huron block in 2006 when he and Tom Pounds, owner of Toledo Free Press, jointly bought the building on the corner of Monroe and Huron streets.
"People thought I was crazy when I bought the building six years ago, but not so much anymore," Beczynski said.
When the owner of PizzaPapalis was looking for a spot in Toledo, he drove by The Blarney and saw that it was busy week after week, and decided to build his restaurant across the street, Beczynski said.
Aaron Polte, who has worked in management positions for PizzaPapalis since its opening in 2009, said more restaurants in the area will help his own. He said more competition helps his restaurant attain more visibility and that a growing arts scene contributes to a growing customer base for the Huron block restaurants.
"There is such a great arts community here in Toledo that brings a nice crowd in. They're dedicated to restaurants," Polte said.
"It's awesome to see people using old buildings and converting them into different things. Awesome people are keeping the buildings and not tearing them down," Beczynski said of Fred Okun.
"Goldberg's building has been in the family for hundreds of years. Now they're taking those buildings, cleaning them up, allowing the character of the building to show through," Thomas said. "It shows that they can enjoy the space for what it is. It doesn't have to be torn down. This is a good example of what can be done with old buildings."
Fong said he wants people to realize that the area is a residential one, as well as commercial, and that the things happening in the area are great for the neighborhood.
"At first there were just empty warehouses. You could roll a bowling ball down the street and it wouldn't hit anything," Fong said. "Attracting artists is great for the neighborhood and will draw a lot of attention and activities, which I like."

Sat, May 26th, 2012, 11am to 11.45am PST – we will be broadcasting LIVE! (as long as the internet connection is strong enough)
Join me for this LIVE netcast celebrating my newest book "Ani's 15-Day Fat Blast". This event is being broadcast from 11 to 11.45am PST on Sat May 26th, 2012 from San Francisco, CA.
Please stop by if you're in the SF embarcadero area:
I'm starting to netcast for the first time again since I conceived of and executive produced 'Fiber' back in 1995, before ISDN or T1 were available! 'Fiber' was the World's 1st online fashion show event ever, and it was broadcast over copper phone lines to the Mbone at UC Berkeley, CA, and then out to the world!
Thanks for joining me here and for helping me celebrate my newest book "Ani's 15-Day Fat Blast"! Love you all xo, ani
dineLA is an exciting 2-week dining event created by the Los Angeles Convention and Visitor Bureau (aka LA, INC) to introduce diners to hundreds of neighborhood restaurants throughout Los Angeles County. LA's a huge county full of many great spots for food and drink. So, to help filter through over 300 participating restaurants, dineLA's invited me to call out a few restaurants offering vegetarian dineLA menu items. I live in West Hollywood, so most of my recommendations are for spots in my area.
For dineLA, participating restaurants offer a fixed 3-course menu for lunch and/or dinner…a great way to taste popular dishes. If a restaurant offers only 1 or 2 vegetarian items on their dineLA menu, many will let you order just those vegetarian items, so do ask. You'll also find a few vegan and almost raw items too.
With so many great dineLA restaurants, it was challenging to choose just 10! Here's a few vegetarian items to look for. If you prefer vegan, ask to leave off the dairy. It's that simple. Click each link below to view their dineLA menu:
:: Check out photos from the dineLA Kickoff Celebration at the W Hotel in Westwood last week with my Exec Chef friends.

One of my favorite foods is cabbage because it's super versatile, has hardly any calories, is free of wheat and gluten, is great for digestion, and is beautiful in color (purple and green). It tastes awesome in salads, gives us valuable probiotics as pickled sauerkraut, plus it works perfectly as a "shell" to be stuffed with yummy fillings to make a delicious hand held treat. I'm currently reintroducing heart-healthy fats into my diet from flax and chia seeds (omega-3), some nuts (vitamin E and antioxidants), and olives to keep my skin supple and moist, especially now that autumn is upon us. I picked up a bunch of avocados at the Farmers' Market, but am disappointed they didn't make it into my bag!
Today, I filled up a red cabbage shell with Chiffonade green cabbage. Watch our "How to Chiffonade" video I shot for Vegetarian Times Magazine: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/video/10). Please watch on the Vegetarian Times website to help generate viewer numbers. Thank you!
I'm also embedding it below from my own YouTube channel:
I first filled up my purple cabbage shell with Chiffonade green cabbage. Next, I layered on a Black Olive Tapenade, from Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, page 155, and Candied Onions, inspired by my Buckwheat-Battered "Fried" Onion Rings, from page 116 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials, plus I added maple syrup to sweeten the onions. I then topped it all with artichoke hearts, and would have added avocado, if I had some on hand.
Black Olive Tapenade
Place all ingredients into food processor, mix well.
Will keep for a week or longer stored in fridge.
Candied Onions
Place all ingredients into mixing bowl. Set aside to marinate and wilt for at least 10 minutes. Add syrup to your liking. I choose to make this sweet! Squeeze excess liquid before using.
Will keep for several days in fridge.
This was the beautiful view of the rose gardens as we arrived at the NetKal Gala event….. gathering of Asian Americans in entertainment.
Styled by my favorite fashion designer Linda Loudermilk of all time, plus…she's all about luxury eco! Makeup and hair by the best artist ever, Dorit Genazzani.
The beautiful Lisa Ling (Oprah Winfrey Network, Our America) and her husband Dr. Paul Song.
Bryan Tee from Fast and the Furious. I can count all of 2 Asian actors in film. At least they're representing! Yeah.
From the TV show Dexter, actor C.S. Lee. Okay, this makes 2 Asian actors…one TV, one film, so far. I can think of one more Asian male from TV. Hopefully, you can too.
The NetKal Gala was held at USC at the Annenberg Center.
The event was catered by my friends at Good Gracious Catering. I met Pauline and Joanne at Sunset Magazine's annual Celebration weekend event last spring, where I was invited along with Chef Rick Bayless (Frontera), Candace Nelson (Sprinkles), and Govind Armstrong (8oz Burger). So impressive they included vegan raw along side these TV celebrities.
The food was presented beautifully. And, my friends hooked me up with a vegan meal, of course!
Check out this space, there was a pool and water fountain in the center. It was cold that night though. The ladies were all freezing in their cocktail dresses. I had my coat on for dinner. Dinner was accompanied by performances by 3 Korean pop stars. Sort of made me giggle. USA and Korea entertainment is very different. An incredible event. And great conference the following day with discussions and inspiration for ways to encourage more diversity in the media. Some said it'll take a few years. I'm not holding my breath though….
Thank you Nathan Nowack for these gorgeous photos. Please visit Nathan Nowack for more photos from this event.
Labor Day marks the weekend my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Kanga, and I rescued one another….9-years ago! How time flies. (and yes, I cake sunblock on my face, as you can see).
Kanga had been at the Humane Society for over 2 weeks, and no one adopted her. Surprising, since she is a beautiful specimen of this breed. Plus, she came fully trained, so someone had spent a lot of time and energy with her. She was skin and bone, and 50+ pounds underweight with kennel cough and dusty fur. Poor baby.
Luckily, a truck intercepted 20 dogs on their way to get euthanized, and brought them back to a no-kill shelter in Portland, OR called Family Dogs NW. This was where I found Kanga early the very next morning. I applied the same raw food principles to Kanga as I do for human healing, and over the next month or two she gained 50 pounds and regained radiant health on a Raw Food diet. You can read more about her journey in Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, where Kanga has her own dog food chapter.
My brother Max saw this photo of Kanga and said she looks like she's "mugging". I had to ask him what the heck that means. Max said "mugging = posing, like rappers do for pics". Hahaa. Yup, Kanga is a superstar, and very popular too. Folks always stop us to pet her, especially young children.
Kanga's from Rhodesia, which is now Zimbabwe Rhodesia, and the Sahara so she loves the sun, warmth, and sand. She hates water, but it was so hot out that Kanga got her paws wet. I love dog beach because here she can roam off-leash, and run free to play with other dogs.
Kanga and I love laying in the sand and soaking up the sun. It's never hot enough for us, and soaking up sun is one of our favorite past times. I'm happy I got to take Kanga to Huntington Dog Beach yesterday on the final hot day of the summer (it was 90 F) to celebrate her 9-year Bday and Dogversary with me. Thank you Kanga for being my family, love, and for hanging out with me for the past 9-years! I love you.
On May 19. 2011 I got to visit Seattle along my tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia. First stop was with host Margaret Larson at King 5 TV's NewDay Northwest Show. Everyone in the studio audience received a copy of Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Next was Evergreen Radio's Kitchen Corner Show where I had a pleasantly challenging conversation with host Jo Ann Henderson. Jo was skeptical at first, but I hope I was able to convince her that raw foods are simply a way to enjoy more whole, fresh, organic ingredients.
At the same time, another pre-recorded radio program aired on Seattle radio where I spoke with host Keesha Ewers on her Healthy You! Radio Show.
By lunch I was hungry for some local raw food treats, and we stopped at Thrive Cafe for a meet-and-great and book signing, and they fed me delicious salad, green juice, and desserts.
Next stop was KOMO Newsradio where we aired during afternoon drive-time traffic. The hosts Herb Weisbaum & Jane Shannon are already into raw foods, and were already making their own kale chips. I love how main stream kale chips have become!
Our final destination for the day was the Woodmark Hotel and Yacht Club in Kirkland, on the lake. This was the view from my room, you can see snow topped mountains in the distance.
The Woodmark Hotel hosted what they call "Happy Hour and a Half". They made 2 recipes from Ani's Raw Food Asia, I gave a talk, answered questions, and then signed books. It was another clear, sunny, dry, warm day in the Seattle. After this final event, I went on a long walk along the lake front. The air was fresh, clean, and crisp. And I felt grateful for all the wonderful people who welcomed me to their beautiful city.
This was the awesome lady who made this day happen for me, Joy. In addition to shuttling me around town, she also hooked me up with a food assistant so that I didn't have to carry all my food, plates, props with me on the airplane! Plus, she kept the car stocked with cut, prepared veggies of all sorts for me to snack on all day long.
This was Joy's assistant Lee, who had shopped for props and ingredients, and helped me prep for my TV appearance. Thank you Joy and Lee!! You've officially spoiled me.
My first stop in Portland, OR was to shoot a 6-minute segment with host Dave Anderson for AM Northwest on KATU TV. I show Dave how to make a Vegetable Nori Roll from Ani's Raw Food Asia. Dave's lost a ton of weight since I saw him along my last tour, and looks great. He said he cut out processed foods and cut back on alcohol.
Here I am above with AM Northwest co-host Helen Raptis.
Next stop was Yummy Tummy Cafe for a lunchtime fuel-up on a gallon of Norwalk green juice; chocolate covered jungle peanuts; and a ruben sandwich made from flax seeds, mushrooms, and sauerkraut. Omg, seriously yummy tummy! And, a book signing meet-and-greet. From here, I was shuttled over to the KBOO radio station for an interview, and then finally ended up at Powell's Books downtown for a talk and book signing.
I got to visit Powell's rare book room, where I sat and signed a stack of my books, including Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Peter Hanfileti is a very dear, long-time family friend from when I was in middle school…that's so long ago! He's an MD and acupuncturist in Vancouver, WA.
Kris Dyer may look familiar because he's in my first book, Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, which I wrote when I still lived in Portland. Kris was also one of our SmartMonkeys! I love tour because it allows me to visit friends I haven't seen in a while. The weather was dry and sunny, just like last year in Portland! I love that city especially when the weather is gorgeous. Plus, the city's blanketed with WiFi.
Watch my debut on Los Angeles TV with ABC 7′s Health Coach Lori Corbin. I show her 5 raw food recipes that have gone mainstream including my Zucchini Pasta (featured in Food Network Magazine), Nut Mylks (like Almond Milk), Green Smoothies, Kale Chips (from Ani's Raw Food Essentials), and Seaweed Chips (from Ani's Raw Food Asia).
Watch the 3-minute video, and learn how raw foods helps with weight loss too!
I was honored to have been invited to speak on a panel with superstars (from left to right above) Rachelle Carson Begley (married to Ed Begley), Sophie Uliano (NYTimes best selling author), Izabella Miko (actress), Carly Harrill (blogger ghost writer), Karen Stewart Brown (fashion designer), Kris Willey (host of WotGG), and Alexandra Spunt (author).
The focus of this panel was how we came into our careers. I explained how I used to work in a corporate environment that was not recycling, was wasting energy, and was using styrofoam cups for one 4 ounce shot of water. I realized my raw food catering and the weekly events I was hosting (to feed myself good food) was a successful business. So, I decided to leave corporate America to focus 100% on my prepared packaged foods, catering, and events. I followed my bliss because I believed raw foods helped people feel better and healthier. It also helps us tread lightly on our Planet.

NEW YORK — Sixteen years into her career as television's chief justice, Judy Sheindlin is as comfortable in her role as the nation appears to be with her.
"Judge Judy" is such a familiar part of daytime TV that now, in the post-Oprah Winfrey syndication world, it's easy to overlook how dominant it is. The show averaged 10.1 million viewers each day during the third week of January, a typical week, more than the next three courtroom shows combined, the Nielsen company said.
Without her black robe with the white lace, Sheindlin can walk down a Manhattan street undisturbed on a chilly winter afternoon. Just try that with Dr. Phil, Ellen DeGeneres, Dr. Oz or Katie Couric. Each have shows with an audience less than half of what "Judge Judy" draws daily.
The people who choose to have their disputes settled on camera by Sheindlin know to expect a sharp tongue and sharp judgments. She believes people take comfort in order, like newborns swaddled tightly in a blanket.
"They want to do the right thing, most people," she said. "For that little core that doesn't want to do the right thing and gets away with it routinely, most people want to see them get a good whupping. I am your girl."
Some of her cases have changed over the years – she appeared uninterested and a little befuddled during a recent discussion about an Xbox hard drive – but Judge Judy doesn't. It's instructive to watch Morley Safer's 1993 feature on "60 Minutes" about Judge Sheindlin of Manhattan's Family Court to see how similar it is to the "Judge Judy" courtroom today. Same Brooklyn attitude and impatience. Same steamrolled plaintiffs (or lawyers, or defendants) muttering under their breaths. Almost the same robe. Safer even coined a phrase, "the evil queen in a lace collar," that's just as applicable now.
That report caught the attention of Hollywood syndicators, who turned Sheindlin from a Tylenol-popping public servant to a celebrity earning a reported $45 million a year with homes in New York, Connecticut, Florida and Wyoming.
"In the field in which she works, I would put her in that class of people throughout the history of broadcasting who really manage to appeal to millions of people at a time yet give you that sense in some way that they're intimately relating to you, like you can go out and have chili with them," said Robert Thompson, director of Syracuse University's Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture.
Thompson admits to underestimating Sheindlin, saying he predicted the growth in DVR usage would be Sheindlin's downfall because many people watched because there was nothing else on. Apparently not.
The self-certainty and willingness to say things others might suppress drives her appeal like it does for Simon Cowell, he said.
"I don't mind getting my hands dirty and I don't mind getting to the truth of a situation and saying, `you're right, you're wrong, next case,"' she said. "If I wasn't right most of the time, we wouldn't be having this conversation today."
As a girl growing up in Brooklyn, Sheindlin said she got her moral compass from her dentist father. He worked part-time for the city and suggested the government could save money by making some of its own dental equipment instead of contracting it out to people who charged more than it was worth. It earned him death threats. He wanted to persist pushing it but backed off because his wife was scared. The effort made an indelible impression on his 8-year-old daughter.
On "Judge Judy," Sheindlin will rapidly cut through arguments and counter-arguments to get to the heart of a case, often with moral judgments attached. "You can't go into a lease with someone and stick `em," she said to former roommates squabbling over back rent.
A tattooed bartender who asked her roommate to drive her children to school because she had worked late stood no chance recovering damages when that roommate got in a car accident. She cared less about the accident than the notion the bartender had passed on her responsibility. If Sheindlin is confronted with a young woman who has multiple children with different fathers, she doesn't hesitate to say: "You have enough children."
"I believe it," she said. "You may disagree with me. But I think if you're 26 years old and you're unemployed and your children have no stability and one lives with grandmother sometimes and you have different men coming into your house fathering these children, the chances that you are going to have a successful person come out of that house, with that upbringing, is diminished. You're not supposed to say it."
Knowing people and their behaviors is her strong suit, certainly not judicial temperament, she said. She admits to being "bratty," in classic ends-justify-the-means style, recalling a Family Court case where she dumped lengthy motions written by expensive lawyers in the trash and told them if they didn't reach a settlement, she would tell their clients the lawyers wanted to bleed them financially.
Sheindlin doesn't want to be briefed by producers about cases before going on the air, preferring to look over their legal arguments and question them herself. Anything else feels uncomfortably like acting to her.
She's signed to continue "Judge Judy" into 2015, but that's not a deadline. "I'm not tired," she said. "I'm still young – 70 is the new 50. I hope I'll know when to say goodbye. Right now I'm not there yet."
Her transition to TV felt fully complete one day a few years ago when she stopped at a bagel restaurant with her husband Jerry, a retired justice on New York state's Supreme Court. They overheard two women arguing about "Judge Judy," one saying she watched and hated her, couldn't get over how rude she was. The other woman said she loved Sheindlin. Judge Judy realized she could take it either way.
"I like it a lot better if you like me," Sheindlin said. "But if you don't like me and watch me every day, what's the difference?"

The seizure of 250 abused and neglected animals on property in Johnston last September drew extensive media coverage and public dismay.
Many other such incidents also occur, but may not get as much attention.
Following conversations with officials from the SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare and others, S.C. Rep. Bill Taylor, R-Aiken, introduced House Bill 3392 Wednesday that would increase penalties for animal abuse. Current penalties are far too minimal, he said.
South Carolina is ranked 48th in state animal protection laws in the annual survey by the Humane Society of the United States, Taylor said in a press release. Surely we can do better in protecting animals from abuse by stiffening the criminal penalties.
Serious animal abuse, neglect and torture violations would result in felony offenses. First offenders would be charged with misdemeanors, but would still be subject to jail time and fines that would escalate on repeated offenses, according to the bill.
Heres the problem, said David Miller, assistant solicitor for the 2nd Judicial Circuit. The sentences are up to 30 days or $1,000. The cases come into the magistrate courts that dont have the ability to put someone on probation or have people supervised for extended periods.
Theyre guilty, but when they walk out of court, thats the end of it, Miller said. It doesnt make sense realistically for the magistrate not to have some ability to order some kind of oversight or review of these cases.
Without such oversight, people who abused animals in a puppy mill can simply move on to another jurisdiction and start over selling them to purchasers unaware of the animals conditions, he said.
In other situations, Miller said, some people may have psychological issues that cause them to hoard animals. General Sessions Court could impose specific provisions that such a person would have to abide by. In that way, that person could get the resources he would need, then getting on probation and not having to go to prison.
The Johnston incident was just a nightmare for the Aiken shelter and others nationally working to help the animals, said Gary Willoughby, executive director of the Aiken SPCA. He and other officials with the organization met with Taylor about the legislation.
We took in over 40 of the dogs, Willoughby said. A lot of them needed treatment, and many that had been neglected were shy and needed attention. We were able to adopt out almost all of them.
Successful legislation would give animal control officers laws they can enforce, Willoughby said.
The proposed legislative measure would not affect breeders and kennel owners in terms of inspections, Miller and Taylor said.
There wont be any impact on families with two dogs and one dog gets through a fence, Miller said. It doesnt apply to Fido getting lost.
Taylors bill has been transferred to the House Judiciary Committee for hearings.

Nice presentation! But with regards to the open graph data, I personally wouldn't think that much attention would be paid to them when reading search results. However, they do dominate the SERPs quite significantly in terms of space…
We stumbled over here coming from a different web page and thought I may as well check things out.
I like what I see so now i am following you. Look forward

Rainy Sunday Gets Best of Baseball

FREDONIA, NY – Fredonia State's Steve Sturm scattered six hits as Hilbert College endured a 9-2 non-conference loss in baseball April 1st. Jim Pernick went 2 for 3 with one double and one RBI as the Hawks played through wet weather to drop to 4-13 overall with the first game in April in the books.
The Blue Devils offense was as steady as the rain. Fredonia scored in five of the six innings they batted. Seven players had at least one hit and six players were credited with a stolen base with Dillion Lowe sprinting for three bags himself.
John Babocsi carried the load of the game, facing 20 batters the first five innings before Frank Casey relieved him in the sixth.
Pernick hit his double in the sixth inning which scored the Hawks' first run with Pat Lagueras crossing the plate to make it 7-1 at the middle. The Blue Devils earned two more runs off Casey before the top of the 7th.
Joe Hart reached base on a short stop error and moved around to third when Tim Staub ground out to the short. Sean McGrath's single drove Hart home for the Hawks second run of the afternoon. With the Hawks final out, the game ended with the host claiming a wet 9-2 victory.
The second game of the double header was called due to field conditions.
Hilbert's next game is set for April 3 when they host Cazenovia College (6-8) in a 2 pm first pitch double header.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone.

Component Video is a video encoding standard with the signals Y-Pb-Pr which are different than Red, Green and Blue. The Red Green and blue color coding of each cable is for Pr, Y and Pb respectively. Each cable is essentially the same, only with a different color code. They are all 75 ohm Coax cables with RCA connectors. What should you look for in a Cable? Quality Connectors are essential for long term reliability. The longer a component video cable is, the larger and higher the quality needs to be for reduced signal loss. A higher quality component video cable will also have reduced signal ringing and the related video artifacts.
The best choice for your application depends on the desired bandwidth you need, along with the length you need. The 55-872 cables are great for flexible, short cables. The Large Green Component cables with locking gold connectors are perfect for those with older components with aging connectors or those who like locking connectors. Our awesome C2A series uses a Canare combination of cable and connector that is close to perfect for 50 foot lengths. The GCC and GCAO are awesome bang-for-buck In-wall rated cables. The CPA and other connector variants of this custom cable are SDI bandwidth cables that make Component Video at any resolution including 1080p easy at extremely long lengths. We also have 5-Coax Component Video Cables allowing you to run Component Video with Audio, and In-Wall Component Video Cables.Nerd Facts: RCA's and 75 ohms - While Some RCA connectors are marketed as "True 75 ohm RCA connectors" it is very debatable if an RCA plug can be, in reality, 75 ohms due to the physical spacing of the pin and outer shield contacts. In any case, the female RCA connector that it connects to is certainly not 75 ohms. Oh well. Without BNC 75 ohm connections, some slight reflections may be impossible to avoid.Silver plating for video cables that operate at high frequencies is considered a good thing by many due to silvers better conductivity than copper. The real reason to use silver plating on high frequency cables is due to less negative interaction with certain coax insulation dielectrics. Silver plating with Teflon dielectrics being the best example.Soldering - Maintaining 75 ohm characteristic impedance is mostly about maintaining diameter differences of center conductors and shields and the dielectric properties of the insulators between. A common overlooked diameter difference is within the connectors themselves. Big, chunky plates to solder the center conductor to, warp the characteristic impedance, as do big blobs of solder. Crimping is generally far superior in this regard since the crimped objects are generally cylinders that maintain the proper distances between center and shield.Our custom cables are built to Broadcast Industry Standards, available in lengths up to 100 feet or more and manufactured with heavy gauge, high bandwidth coax cable, for long length applications. With cable brands like Belden and Canare among others, and termination processes like cold weld crimping and Silver soldering, our connectors are applied properly for the lowest possible video signal distortion. Our cables are selected for the best possible signal integrity for their signal range even at very long lengths. We also offer a 30 day return policy and free shipping! Not sure what you need?

Anti-Catholic Reformed Baptist Bishop James White wrote recently (on 7-11-08):
. . . another example of the kind of rhetoric Art Sippo cranks out with gut-wrenching regularity. Ironically, Sippo was defending his very broad use of the term "lie." Anyone who disagrees with Sippo is a liar, plain and simple. Protestants, in particular, are liars, as we will see, even if they are holding a sincerely held (and perfectly defensible) viewpoint. It's still a lie, and they are liars. Now what is almost humorous is that I have heard this kind of argument before. It came from the lips of...Michael Moore. Yes, the likewise gut-wrenching socialist leftist film-maker was on a program defending his use of the term "lie" and "liar" in the exact same way Sippo does, refusing to recognize the necessary difference between "I disagree with your position" and "you are lying." Ironic, isn't it?
One of the things that came out in Miki's comments on the program yesterday and that is representational of many others in the Catholic apologetics community is this: she mentioned purgatory as an example of where I have misrepresented Rome. Yet, when I pressed, what she really meant was that I say Rome is wrong about purgatory. The fact that in her thinking to disagree with Rome must mean that I am lying and dishonest needs to be understood. This explains the twisting of language itself and why she, and many others, do not even bother to show non-Catholics enough respect to read their primary works or check their facts. This also explains their willingness to use every form of ad-hominem argument, spread rumors without doing fact-checking, etc. It's ugly, but it is the way of Rome.

Anyone who has read the book cannot help but realize Sippo hasn't, or, if he has, he is desperately dishonest.
( 2-25-05 )
Yesterday we noted further examples of the means by which Roman Catholic apologists in the tradition of Art Sippo engage in simply dishonest and inaccurate argumentation so as to maintain their audiences.
( 8-6-05 )
1) X (above all, a despised "Romanist") performs sinful act A.
2) I (James White) also commit sinful act A (including -- quite hypocritically and ironically -- at the expense of the same person whom I accused of, and excoriated for committing sin A).
3) But when I do it, it ain't a sin, because I am a good Calvinist and we can do the same stuff that other folks who falsely claim to be Christians cannot do.
4) Therefore, sinful act A is sinful and not sinful at the same time.
5) Thus, A does not equal A (the first rule of logic).
6) A is sinful when Romanists do it and A isn't sinful when good Calvinists like me do it.
7) Ergo, ethics and morality are determined by the situation and also depend on who is doing the action (relativism and situation ethics as opposed to absolute biblical ethics).
Mr. Armstrong has provided a reading list on his blog. In essence, this means that instead of blaming ignorance for his very shallow misrepresentations of non-Catholic theology and exegesis, we must now assert knowing deception.

Any serious or even honest review of my use of the citation would indicate this: Rutland ignores it. . . . What is deceptive is Bill Rutland ignoring the context in which I placed the citation, which removes the ground of his allegation.
( 8-6-05 )
While a picture like that in the article would have been seen as clear evidence of the Pope's deception a hundred years ago, today you will hardly find any serious "Protestant" leader criticizing such activities, . . .
( 9-2-06 )
Phil [Porvaznik] knows he is being dishonest here, and he simply does not care.
( 3-26-07 )
If you want an incredible example of self-deception and suppression of truth, here's one from this morning. You will recall that I noted the less-than-honest and accurate words of one California attorney, Peter Sean Bradley. First, I replied to his comments on the Beckwith situation here. I walked through his entire article and responded to, and refuted, each point. Then, a little later, I replied to another article of his, here, demonstrating he could not even accurately identify the authors of the articles he was addressing . . .
( 5-9-07 )
Speaking of which, I will be playing clips from the 7/31 Catholic Answers Live radio program. They are now advertising the Steve Gregg/Tim Staples "debate" (it was a radio program, not a debate) along with the "Bible Answer Man Debate with noted Anti-Catholic James White." Note that I'm an anti-Catholic, but Steve Gregg isn't. Starting to get an idea of just how malleable, and in fact, simply dishonest CA is about its use of such slurs?

A Call to Roman Catholic Apologists to Repent of the Use of Simple Dishonesty in Their Presentations [title]
( 8-22-07 )
See the spin? It is not done very well, but when you've been so clearly refuted, there is not much more you can do than to play games like this. Notice he never once accurately represents even his own words (how difficult it must be to engage in such self-deception!) . . . he is willing to dishonestly assert . . . no honest person could ever bring himself to say such a thing, but as I have pointed out, it is the essence of Romanism to defend Rome at all costs, and one's personal integrity and honesty is surely the first casualty. . . . I wonder where the honest Roman Catholic apologists are?
( 8-26-07; against Steve Ray)
Steve Ray Posts His "Reply": A Study in Dishonesty [title]
What he has actually posted in this blog article is more than enough to demonstrate that he is intent upon engaging in the most egregious forms of spin and smoke-and-mirrors to attempt to rescue any shred of credibility he might have as an apologist. . . . It is dishonest at best for Ray to falsely accuse me of saying things I have never said, and adopting positions I have never endorsed, promoted, or enunciated. . . . When representing others, the truthful writer can quote that person, in context. Steve Ray can't do that. Why? Because he's peddling lies, and he is fully aware of it. This is not just a mistake on his part, he is purposefully lying to his readers. . . .
So how do Romanists get around being refuted? Attack the person who refuted you. Call him a "petty pope" and liken him to a "rabid dog." Then change the subject. Make something up like "He thinks its great for there to be division in the body of Christ!" and hope your followers are as utterly unconcerned about the truth as you are, . . .
Of course, the person who is actually concerned about truth, and who wants to know if you will honestly admit that you have been using a number that is over 300% above even the number in your actual source, which you claim to own, now have their response: no, you will not even admit to misrepresenting documented facts! . . . it is always sad to see anyone sell themselves out to error and engage in this kind of gross dishonesty.
( 8-27-07 )
Well, now I know who posted this video: none other than Gary Michuta himself. He joined YouTube just today to post this wonderful example of "As long as it is in the service of Rome, don't worry about the truth thing--it will all come out in the wash." Evidently he views it as his job to protect Steve Ray when Ray makes utterly absurd statements on CA Live. In any case, it is Michuta who now gets to own this mess of half-truths and deception, and own it he will.
( 1-19-08 )
We see, then, the inimitable Bishop White accusing of deliberate deception and lying the following individual Catholics and groups:
Dr. Art Sippo (apologist)Some of Bishop White's best buddies in the anti-Catholic Protestant community exhibit the same bigoted mentality. For example, Dr. Eric Svendsen:
Dave Armstrong (apologist)
Bill Rutland (apologist)
Pope Benedict XVI (the Holy Father)
Phil Porvaznik (apologist)
Peter Sean Bradley (attorney)
Catholic Answers (apologetic organization)
Catholic apologists en masse
Steve Ray (apologist)
Gary Michuta (apologist)
RC apologists will do or say just about anything--true or not--to advance their cause. They engage in the strategy of deception regularly.
(on his Areopagus board: 4-27-03)
[W]e have experience with those who use the "strategy of deceit" to mislead people down the road to a false gospel.
(on his Areopagus board: 6-4-03)
. . . strategy of deceit that he [yours truly] uses all the time . . .
[T]he "nature" of his apology was insincerity . . . That's the "strategy of deceit" that Paul refers to in Ephesians 4.
. . . He has no problem with lying, so long as he thinks he can pin that same charge on someone else;that way he doesn't "appear" to be lying. What a sad spectacle.
. . . DA's strategy of deceit, . . .
What's my "lack of charity" got to do with DA's lack of honesty? Nothing. . . . that's just what DA does best--he deceives, and he usually accomplishes that by focusing on half-truths (that's the "strategy of deceit" that marks the heretic).(1-15-05)
Now that DA knows his criticism is baseless, we can no doubt expect him to respond with the usual weaseling of how hes still right even though hes been corrected.
Every once in a while my mischievous side takes over and ignores my better judgment not to get involved with with apologetic and theological lunatics. It's a fine line when you're involved in apologetics. You must, with the NT writers, sometimes deal with the messenger as well as the message. In the case of DA, it's almost as though his loony statements are a cartoon punchline waiting to happen.
( 5-5-05 )
Pastor David T. King (the rudest, most obnoxious Christian, bar none, that I've ever had the pleasure to encounter) follows suit as well:
I already have a very low view of the integrity of non-Protestants in general, . . . most of you are too dishonest to admit what you really think.All that one can conclude from these remarkable and outrageous juxtapositions is that Bishop White and his anti-Catholic cronies exercise one standard for others and a different one for themselves, when they commit the same sins they excoriate in other people; rather like both the Pharisees of old and the secularist moral relativists of our illustrious times. Pray, folks.
(on Eric Svendsen's Areopagus board, 4-15-03)
It is a typical Roman Catholic tactic to misrepresent one's opponent purposely in order to "name and claim" a victory.
(on Eric Svendsen's Areopagus board, 6-5-03)
I obviously hit a nerve. Here is the good Bishop's reply ( 7-11-08 ). When White's atrocious ethics and hypocrisies are exposed from his own words and behavior, he attacks. What else could he do? Well, he could repent of the sin, but that's not happening soon. Don't anyone hold their breath for that. Here's some stone classic "anti-DA" White boilerplate rhetoric / sophistry (with my humorous fisking in red and brackets):
I couldn't help but notice [right. Of course no one alerted White to my post] Dave Armstrong had to demonstrate that he, like Sippo, lacks the same basic cognitive capacity [it took less than one sentence for Jimbo to get to his usual attacking of my "basic" intelligence]. Once again using his "play with pictures" technique of apologetics [how did I "play"? I simply posted! I didn't do one thing with his photo!], Armstrong accused me of doing the very thing Sippo was doing [of course, because it happens to be undeniably true. I'm kind o' fond o' truth]. But, to make his case, he actually had to cite me [wow! imagine that!], and the truly sad and embarrassing thing for Armstrong [yes, I'm always embarrassing myself] is, anyone who reads what I said will notice that Armstrong "just doesn't get it." [that's right. Few who disagree with the good bishop ever do "get it"] Being able to differentiate between a difference of opinion and saying someone is a liar does not require you to believe that dishonesty does not exist in the world. All the examples he gave lacked the one thing they needed to be relevant: a logical parallel to the actual case at hand. [prove it (preferably without your usual sophistry)] This is why I do not bother with Armstrong any longer [White is so intent on ignoring me altogether that he has done posts about me on 7-14-06 / 4-7-07 / 4-12-07 / 6-14-07 / 6-15-07 / 6-21-07 / 7-12-07 / 8-3-07 / 8-25-07 / 9-7-07 / 12-29-07 / 2-19-08 and 2-20-08. His sidekick John Q. Doe has also been allowed (weirdly enough) to write about me on White's blog on 4-26-07 / 6-18-07 / 6-24-07 / 10-4-07 / 1-4-08 and 5-30-08. That's only 14 articles in the 16 months from April 2007 till July 2008 (or 20 if we count Doe too: more than one per month average). But it's obvious that White no longer "bother[s]" with me.]: not only has his incapacity as a serious writer or apologist been documented far too many times over the years here [White playbook code for "I ran from Armstrong's challenges by using my trademark 'he's too stupid to bother with' excuse"], but the simple fact is that he is sort of like the Wall-E of Catholic apologists [yet another new insult. Congrats, Jimbo! I was wondering what the next one would be; endless variety!]: he gathers bits and pieces from here and there and cobbles them together [sort of like the Epicureans accused St. Paul of doing, on Mars Hill in Athens], often without sufficient background or knowledge to understand how they should or could be related [because I'm such an inveterate dolt, dunce, and dope], and then adds a generous helping of self-citation and a mountain of excess verbiage [you mean like your buddy Turretinfan's 56,000 word, 182 page response to an "anti-Calvinist" on the parable of the sower?] to give the appearance of substance [always. This is standard White polemic where I am concerned: "if you can't answer, obfuscate and divert attention from the actual subject"] Unfortunately, he lacks Wall-E's adorable personality, or, at least, big eyes. [hey! my wife would dispute that!] Armstrong knows he only has one "safe" place in this world, behind his keyboard [is that like the old Simon and Garfunkel song, I am a Rock?]: he will never, ever venture out in the real world [ah, yes. Writing ain't the real world: an odd observation indeed, coming from a guy who has some 15 or more published books, just as I do. White spends lots of time in the "fake" world, too] to face those he so confidently mocks in real debate [who determined that all debate is non-written? I've never heard such a thing. Besides, I've challenged Bishop White twice to a real-time debate in a chat room and he refused twice. Knowing his fear of such things, I even offered him an exclusively "double cross-ex" format (that he praises all the time) and more time for questioning than I would get. Why did he say no? What's he so scared of, anyway? Here's his golden opportunity to make mincemeat of me before the world and prove I am an idiot and an imbecile, like he's been saying for 13 years, and he refuses?]. So while I'm sure he will get his six-months worth of satisfaction for having been noted again [I'm ecstatic! Being noticed by an intellectually-suicidal coward and master of every kind of personal insult has made my day. How can I top this?], I truly wonder if he realizes just how often he documents his own failure to provide a consistent and compelling case? [there's some classic White put-down, folks. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Meanwhile, my criticism remains intact and untouched for all to see. White has shown the world once again that he is a moral relativist]

More than all-access
I'm yelling down the hall talking to a friend I haven't seen in a few months. I'm 10 minutes early walking into what I think is an empty meeting room. Someone else is holding the door open for me, so I'm looking back to the person I'm "speaking with," paying little attention to what's in front of me.
As I turn to look into the room, I am met with almost 200 eyeballs. Every eye easy to read. The eyes speak to me, saying, "Who is this guy?" No one actually says this, but I know I've just busted into a meeting I had no right to be in, despite thinking I was early. I take a seat with total embarrassment.
"Coach, will you close that door and not let anyone else in until we're done?!"
I haven't seen the head coach of the Pac-12 South champion Arizona State Sun Devils in weeks. My first time in his presence starts exactly how anyone would not want it to go.
The meeting continues with every player preparing for the ASU Spring Game sitting in the seats of the Dutson Theater with coaches scattered up the sides, along the wall and standing on the lower level.
The players and coaches were scheduled to meet with Pac-12 referees to learn the 2014 points of emphasis, how games are officiated and to gain a feel for what truly constitutes a violation worthy of a flag. This is part of coach Todd Graham's continuing fight against penalties and his desire to continue to lead the Pac-12 with the fewest.
I was asked to fill in for Tim Healey as ASU's play-by-play voice for the Spring Game since he was on the road with ASU baseball. I was invited to listen to the meeting with the referees because ASU knew I'm a rules geek. It makes me a better talk show host and sideline reporter when I can sit in on a meeting like this. There's no harm for ASU in letting me into the meeting, because there weren't going to be any big secrets discussed.
Coach Graham was finishing up his meeting with his players before the officials were to be invited into the room. Now I'm in the room, uninvited. Since the head coach of Arizona State didn't stop his meeting and wait for me to leave, I figured it was less of a distraction if I stayed.
If you've ever wondered what Todd Graham says to his kids in a closed-door meeting, don't. If you ever thought the coach must be hamming it up for the cameras while you watched the Pac-12 Network's "The Drive," stop. Everything Coach Graham says to his players through the media is exactly what he says to his players without the media.
On a white board was written:
"When I was hired to be ASU's next coach, they told me to bring discipline to the program. If you're not disciplined, you're not thinking about team. You're worried about yourself. Disciplined players lose themselves in the team concept.
"You may think it's annoying that Coach cares about being on time. I know if you're not on time, you're not a championship player. Championship players are in early because they want to win the championship. We're about winning championships at Arizona State. Championship teams have championship players. I'm just telling you now, championship players can't wait to get to work."
After he spoke on character, he talked about the effect Pat Tillman had on his country, on football and on ASU. His love in talking about Pat Tillman is not confined to just media schtick to prove to you -- and those of us in the media -- that he "gets" ASU's history. Coach Graham seemed to be able to see right through every face looking at him to ensure the message was received. He wanted every player to play like Pat, work in the classroom like Pat, compete like Pat and to try and be like Pat.
Coach wasn't done. The screens on the wall lit up with film of some of Pat Tillman's best plays as a Sun Devil. Coach implored every player to perform with Pat's passion. He explained that Tillman's emotion poured out of him, making him not only a great player, but also a great teammate -- because others around Pat had to emulate Pat in order to keep up with him. Coach Graham also made a clear distinction between good and bad emotion. Showing major plays where Tillman jumped off of a player he just buried yet never took a cheap shot at an opponent or talked down an opponent, Graham emphasized a "destroy with character" mentality -- my words, not his.
Then the conversation turned. He spoke to the players about you. He told them of the great honor they had of getting to play in the Spring Game. He said how important fans are to the atmosphere and presence of Sun Devil Stadium. Coach Graham wanted every player to know they owed it to themselves to compete, but that they also owed it to you. He praised you for the sacrifices you make to be a Sun Devil fan, to go to regular season games and even to come out for the Spring Game. He demanded each player compete to give you the show you deserve.
In case you've heard Todd Graham for the last two years but wanted inside access to Todd Graham so you could meet the "real" Todd Graham, you don't need it. You already know him.

Wind: 0 mph

"You are needed to help chart the course for the future of Waitsfield/Warren Village," says Mad River Valley Planning District (MRVPD) director Joshua Schwartz. Thanks to Schwartz's tireless efforts, Waitsfield and Warren residents and business owners will have the opportunity to help shape the economic vitality, livability and walk ability of their respective villages.
The Vermont Downtown Action Team (V-DAT) will be visiting our community October 14 through 18, 2013. The consultant team will be available to meet with property owners, community members and staff engaged in economic development, government leaders and other community stakeholders in order to develop four specific items focused on strengthening Waitsfield and Warren Villages' identity and economic vitality. October 15, 2013, a public input meeting will be held in Waitsfield and Warren. Details and schedule are available on Page ___.
Having both a professional and personal interest in the project I feel compelled to participate and to help rally public interest. Professionally, my role is marketing for the Mad River Valley for the chamber of commerce. Personally, I live (rent) on Main Street in Waitsfield Village.
While my job is to promote the Mad River Valley as a travel destination, the end goal is the economic health of the community and its ability to attract new residents that will help maintain the economy. Visitors equal successful businesses which equal more jobs which equal workforce relocating to the Mad River Valley which equals more consumers to support local businesses. Right now, there are challenges to this flow. The one that speaks loudest to me is affordable rental housing for year-round employees as well as families trying to save to purchase their own homes.
There are consistently "Help Wanted" signs throughout The Valley. Employers face staffing issues while potential employees face housing issues. This is just one of the topics that will be addressed by the V-DAT team.
As a resident and a renter I recognize that there is limited affordable rental housing. "Let's just appreciate this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in Waitsfield Village," I say to my husband. But, why should it be "once in a lifetime?" Village living strengthens a community. The access to village businesses makes it convenient for residents to buy local (just ask my husband how many cupcakes I've eaten from The Sweet Spot in the past six months). It allows for more sustainable living when people can walk and bike to school, run errands, go out to eat, catch a movie, go to the playground or just exercise on a path/sidewalk a safe distance from the road. Strong downtowns (and villages) have people living in them.
What issue or idea do you want to propose to the V-DAT team? Do you desire better access to walking trails throughout your village? Do you want to make changes to your business' landscape? Are there parking issues at your business location? Do you wish that your adolescents or teens had a constructive place to "hang out"? Use this opportunity on Tuesday, October 15, to share your ideas. The consulting team will use your input to inform their work over the next three days.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for the village of Warren and the Mad River Valley as a whole. Please share this information far and wide – broad and deep community participation is key to the project's success," says Schwartz. Together we can make Warren and Waitsfield even better places to live, work and visit.
Davis lives in Waitsfield and is the marketing coordinator for the Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce.

My depression is setting back in hard. I tried to keep it from my dh for a while - but he hasn't gotten much sleep this week with me up sobbing. I've been sick too - so that hasn't helped. I went to therapy for a few months after losing Will and do ok on and off. Today I called my dr to go on antidepressents and am scheduling to meet with a new therapist as soon as I can get in. Today was nine months since losing Will. Tomorrow is the "one year" since I got the guts to take the pg test and found out I was pregnant(was a surprise pregnancy), and Sunday is the one year of his first ultrasound. We hadn't planned on having kids, and I never knew I wanted to be a mommy until I knew that little guy was in there - and once I knew - I wanted nothing more than to be his mommy.
I just feel like that was my only chance to be a mommy. We havent totally said "no" - and luckily we have Dr E if we decide to....but it's awfully scary...and when it was an oops! pregnancy there weren't the discussions of if it was a good time to or can we afford to. We just had to deal with things. Now I don't know that we could make those decisions - especially now that our eyes are so wide open about what can happen. At least now we would have some idea and know what to push the drs harder about - though with having Dr E now - I don't think we would have to push. I know I was very fortunate that I was introduced to the UW just days before losing Will - my local hospital never even asked my bp and just said to take sleeping pills to get some sleep - they would have let me die. I just can't get all the events of the last year out of my head. My dh is at a loss of what to do to help me - but he holds me - and that is about all he can do, and he has been encouraging me to see a therapist again.
Thanks for letting me vent a little. You guys are the only ones I can talk to that understand the depths of such a loss. Thanks again.

The Ultimate Build-a-Plane Adventure: Slide Show
The accident spurred a $250 million upgrade of the air traffic control (ATC) system--serious money in those days. (It worked: There hasn't been a collision between two airliners in the United States in 47 years.) The crash also triggered the creation in 1958 of the Federal Aviation Agency (now Administration) to oversee air safety.
Upgrade: Cockpit teamwork
United Flight 173, a DC-8 approaching Portland, Ore., with 181 passengers, circled near the airport for an hour as the crew tried in vain to sort out a landing gear problem. Although gently warned of the rapidly diminishing fuel supply by the flight engineer on board, the captain--later described by one investigator as "an arrogant S.O.B."--waited too long to begin his final approach. The DC-8 ran out of fuel and crashed in a suburb, killing 10.
In response, United revamped its cockpit training procedures around the then-new concept of Cockpit Resource Management (CRM). Abandoning the traditional "the captain is god" airline hierarchy, CRM emphasized teamwork and communication among the crew, and has since become the industry standard. "It's really paid off," says United captain Al Haynes, who in 1989 remarkably managed to crash-land a crippled DC-10 at Sioux City, Iowa, by varying engine thrust. "Without [CRM training], it's a cinch we wouldn't have made it."
