Over the years, the Colonial Valley Conference division has been contested right to the final game.This year should be no different.
Each team is entering the season with plenty of hope and promise. There are several returning players that are going to have a say in the final outcome. Each roster has a few freshmen and sophomores that will make an impact.
Here is a look at every CVC team as they begin the season today.
Hamilton Coach: Matt Hamilton (10th year)
Last Year: 7-12-4 Roster: Evan Morris *Sr., G), Thomas Tramontana (Sr., F/D), Jared Romanski (sr., F/D), Joe Olszewski (Sr., F/D), Zach Glanding (Sr., F), Mike Kleinkaut (Sr., F), Gerry Gomez (Jr., D), Joe Rogers (Fr., F), Wyatt Riley (Fr., F), Kyle Wilder (Fr., F), Jawad Banihani (Fr., F).
Outlook: Any talk about the Hornets has to start with Evan Morris in the goal. An All-Trentonian performer in 2011-12, Morris' play will allow a veteran forward line to take some chances. The roster is thin and the Hornets will use their talent to be as competitive as possible. They will be a team that cannot be taken lightly.
Hightstown Coach: John Baldino (2nd year)
Last Year: 4-17 Roster: Jon Sheridan (Sr., G), Ben Goldfarb (Sr., D), Ben Maruscak (Sr., D), Kyle Peger (Jr., D), Brandon Badillo (Jr., D), Grayson Petti (Jr., F), Mike Gennello (Jr., F), Kevin Risch (Jr., F), Ari Gennello (Sr., F), Rob Ewanis (Sr., F), Blaise Reisser (Jr., F), Luke Vuolle (Jr., F), Kyle Guzman (Jr., F), Derek Bender (Jr., D), Deanna Gardner (Jr., F), Clavin McKay (Fr., G), Joseph Adragna (Fr., F), Daniel Moffler (Fr., F), Thomas Nicola (Fr., D), Randall Sivak (Fr., D), Dylan Trimboli (Fr., F).
Outlook: The Rams made some very impressive strides a year ago and they'll look to take another step this season. They have a good mix of veterans and newcomers who should speed up the process. They return eight starters and they are ready to prove they belong among the best.
Hopewell Valley Coach: Rob Donovan (2nd year)
Last Year: 12-10 Roster: Philip Angelastro (Sr., F), Bobby Broz (So., D), Robert Carrier (so., F), Max Daley (Sr., F), Gifford Daley (Fr., F), Ryan Dajczak (Jr., G), Pat Farina (Fr., F), Zach Gold (So., D), Chase Habig (So., D), Louis Jin (Sr., F), Nick Johnson (Jr., G), Kevin Juan (So., F), John King (Jr., F), Chris McCullough (So., G), Spencer Needham (Sr., D), Owen Salmon (Jr., D), Ryan Schiling (so., D), Aubrey Toland (So., F), Trevor Weidman (Jr., F), Lance Whittaker (So., F).
Outlook: The Bulldogs have some talent returning and will look to build off the experience of players like Max Daley and Trevor Weidman. Ryan Dajczak stepped in goal last year and did a solid job. Hopewell Valley is a team that will be very competitive and they are going to be a tough to handle throughout the conference.
Lawrence Coach: John Ritchie (1st year)
Last Year: 6-14 Roster: Travis Pelke (Fr., G), Alex Finan (Sr., G), Ross Doerler (Sr., D), Brian Mark (Fr., D), John Gow (Jr., D), David Rembisz (Sr., D), Brian Niemirka (Jr., D), Pat Kelly (Sr., F), Logan Hammer ((Jr., F), Brian Reznikov (Fr., F), Corey Zrinko (Jr., F), Stephen Kim (Jr., F), Mitchell Brensinger (Jr., F), Alex Vichroski (Sr., F), Mike Saniewski (Sr., F), Aaron Floyd (So., F), Brendon Trofimowicz (Fr., F), Matt Torres (So., F), Julian Bolton (Jr., F).
Outlook: It could be a very interesting year for the Cardinals. They will enter the season with a solid mix of veterans and talented rookies and once they mesh on the ice they will be a tough contender. They look to contend for a division title and qualify for the state tournament.
Notre Dame Coach: Andrew Ducko (3rd year)
Last Year: 22-4-2, CVC Division Champions, Mercer County Tournament Champions and state quarterfinalist
Roster: Steve Anderson (Sr., G), Jamie Shuttner (Sr., D), Nick Bonavico (So., F), Nick Cacace (Sr., D), James Brady (Fr., F), Chris Iorio (Jr., D), Alex Afenassenkov (So., F), Jack Kelly (Fr., F), Connor Corvino (sr., F), Erik Layton (Jr., D), Connor McNamara (Jr., F), John Patas ((Fr., F/D), Ryan Siegel (Fr., F/D). Mike Adams (Sr., F), Brandon Tornquist (Jr., F), Jess Manyoky (Jr., F), Andrew Murphy (Jr., D), Chris Sellers (So., D), Dakota Skove (So., F), Connor Todaro (So., F), Michael Nini So., F/D), Bryan MacAllister (Sr., G), Morgan Williams (Sr., G), Sam Flannery (Sr., G), John Tait (Jr., D), Kyle Young (Jr., G).
Outlook: The Irish have lost a few pieces and making the adjustments will take some time. Anderson returns to the net, and that will be a plus. They have some excellent young players who are going to help. The Irish will once again be a top contender for the MCT title and could make a run in the states.
Nottingham Coach: Alex Chis-Luca (3rd year)
Last Year: 2-19 Roster: Anthony Petro (So., D), Jon Pope (Sr., F), Kevin Fuller (Jr., F), Paul Mazzella (Fr., F), Mike Rock (Sr., F), Kyle Ballschnieder (Sr., F/D), Tucker Cox (Fr., F), Peyton Truban (Fr., F), Chris Crate (Fr., F), Rich Brihn (Sr., D), Kyle West (Fr., G), Jorge Bennett (Jr., F), Kyle O'Byrne (Sr., G), Matt MacNeal (Sr., F).
Outlook: If heart and determination could be converted to wins, the Northstars would be one of the winningest teams around. The goal of this group is to be competitive and earn the respect of all their opponents. Nottingham would like to turn the hard work to some wins, and this might be the year.
Princeton Coach: Tim Campbell (7th year)
Last Year: 15-7-2 Roster: Jackson Andres (So., F), Matt Cirillo (Fr., F), Matt DiTosto (Sr., F), Nathan Drezner (Fr. F), Will Hare (Jr., F), James Kaltman (Sr., F), Daniel Kingsley (Sr., F), Connor McCormick (So., F), Patrick McCormick (Jr., D), Gabe McGregor (Sr., F/D), Jasper Morgan (Sr., F), Chris Munoz (So., F), Harrison Naylor (Jr., D), Nick Palmer (Fr., D), Tim Podgalsky (Jr., D), Kevin Quinn (Jr., F), John Reid (So., F), Spencer Reynolds (Jr., D/F), George Seneko (Fr., F), Becket Tovar (So., F), Robert Quinn (Jr., G), Mike Dunlapo (Sr., G), Joseph Hawes (So., G)
Outlook: The Tigers have been to the last three MCT finals, and there is no reason they can't make it a fourth time. They have a good group of returning players who are going to need patience and perseverance. Patience while the young players blend in, and perseverance to keep working hard.
Robbinsville Coach: Dan Bergan (7th year)
Last Year: 15-9, CVC Colonial Division Champs
Roster: Keith Allen (Jr., D), Coleman Anker (Jr., F), Kellen Anker (Sr., G), Zack Bryan (Sr., D), Dan Cox (Jr., F), Chris Deck (Sr., D), Logan Fredericks (Sr., F), Eric Hildebrand (Jr., F), Scott Kurzeja (Jr., F), Jimmy Kenna (So., D), Matt Reed (Jr., F), Dom Rubino (So., F), Cole Sousa (Jr., F), John Martin (Fr., D), John Francis (Fr., D), Ben Solomon (Fr., D), John Kolaski (Fr., F), Alex Sherman (Fr., G), Matt Kalcynski (Fr., F), Anthony Pluchino (So., D).
Outlook: There is plenty of talent returning and, coming off a very impressive 2011-12, the Ravens just might be one of the best teams around. The strength of the Ravens begins with Kellen Anker, an All-Trentonian goalie, back in the net. They also return several other players who are going to make Robbinsville very tough to beat.
Steinert Coach: Ryan DeClerico (2nd year)
Last Year: 7-12-1 Roster: P.J. Alexiadis (Sr., G), Chris Britschge (Sr., F), Ian MacFarland (Sr., F), Peter Pitman (Sr., D), Alex Verdi (Sr., F), Tanner Dow (Jr., F), Joe Konrath (Jr., F), Ben Kraml (Jr., F), Ryan Zujkowski (Jr., F), Robert Brand (So., F), Christian Clayton (So., F), Austin Durling (So., D), Nicholas Kontura (So., D), Anthony Pasqua (So., G), Nick Barker (Fr., F), Joseph Casole (Fr., D), Zachary Davis (Fr., F), Jaret Dow (Fr., D), Jared Nixon (Fr., F), Sharbel Skaff (Fr., F).
Outlook: The Spartans will have a very good mix of veterans and newcomers that will see plenty of ice time, but it'll be the senior leadership from players P.J. Alexiadis, Chris Britschge, Peter Pitman and Alex Verdi that will carry the banner this season. There will be a few freshmen who are going to be getting a fair share of ice time. If it all comes together, Steinert will be making some noise.
WW-P North Coach: Bob Weiss (9th year)
Last Year: 10-11 Roster: Scott Abrams (Sr., F), Eddie Accetta (Jr., F), Dhruv Bagga (Jr., F), Vansh Bansal (So., F), Gleb Bourtsev (So., F), Matt Bovarnick (Sr., F), Liam Corbett Sr., D), Sam Engel (Jr., D), George Ferguson (Fr., D), Malik Harris (Sr., F), Jason Kessler (Sr., F), Greg Olsson (So., D), Alex Richman (Jr., F), Rory Rimmer (So., G), Ian Schwartz (Fr., G), David Siminoski (So., F), Charles Singerhouse (Jr., F), Ioannis Stgasinos (Fr., F), Matt Strober (Sr., D), Anuj Thakkelapally (So., F), Garrett Weinberg (Jr., D), Brian Zohn (Fr., F), David Zohn (Sr., G).
Outlook: It all starts with the defense for the Knights. They have a solid goalie in David Zohn and veteran defensemen in Sam Engel, Greg Olsson, Garrett Weinberg and Alex Richman. It will be the defense looking to set the tempo as a young forward line looks to develop chemistry.
WW-P South Coach: Laurent Lassance (3rd year)
Last Year: 7-11-2 Roster: Chris Clancy (Sr., F), Mike Morabito (sr., D), Chris Colacello (Sr., D), Karl Stafford (Sr., G), Adam Deslatte (Jr., D), Steven Cangelosi (Jr., F), Andrew Holubec (Jr., G), Patrick Menninger (Jr., F), Brian Tso (So., F), Jonathan Matthews (So., F), Matthew Sayde (So., F), Henry Wei (So., D), Patrick Tso (So., G), Rob Brown (So., F), Shikky Rathor (Fr., F), Jeremy Greener (Fr., F), Nishant Modi (Fr., F), Omer Sanchez (Fr., D).
Outlook: The Pirates are ready to turn the lessons learned last season in some tough losses into wins this season. They will rely on the leadership of captains Mike Morabito and Chris Clancy. This should be a year the Pirates take another step forward.

Time to let you guys sound off — about everything from Christianity and Nadia Bloom to rotten politicians and my unexpected moment as a game-show question.
Scott, There I was, watching Jeopardy! The category was "Newspaper names" — and the clue was "Scott Maxwell stands guard for this Orlando paper." The contestant got it right with: "What is the Sentinel?" — Doris
I missed it, Doris. But I understand you're right, which means that, as of Tuesday night, the Jeopardy! researchers must have officially run out of questions.
Scott, I saw Connie Mack, Dean Cannon and some others endorsed Marco Rubio. Hadn't those guys earlier pledged their support to Charlie Crist? — Jeff
Let's tackle this one, Jeopardy!-style, Jeff: The answer: Soap bubbles, fruit flies and promises from politicians. The question: What are three things with approximately the same life expectancy.
Scott. Thanks for putting everything in perspective [with the disappearance of 11-year-old Nadia Bloom and the man who claimed God helped him find her]. Like you, I had initial doubts about the rescue. But, as you pointed out, we don't have to understand; all we have to do is celebrate one man's faith and its sweet consequences. — Marty
Nicely put, Marty.
Look, not all of us are weaklings who need a giant bearded man in the sky to keep us from killing other people or doing bad things. I am sorry you are so weak that you need some sort of giant all-seeing eye watching you … Do you also believe in alien abductions, poltergeists, Sasquatch? — The Albatross
One thing I believe, Mr. Albatross, is that it reveals a lot about someone's character when they're "brave" enough to condemn and mock others, but too cowardly to sign their real name.
Scott: Your article highlighting the humbleness and Christian faith of the man who rescued Nadia is absolutely brilliant. Good for you, Scott. I am one of those "cold Presbyterians," too, and your column put a log on my fire! — Don
You know, Don, I had one pastor who used to good-naturedly refer to us Presbyterians as the "frozen chosen." But lemme tell ya: What we Presbyterians may lack in charisma, we more than make up for at potlucks.
Maxwell, you stink. — Ray
Ooh, I know! What three words does Mrs. Names utter whenever I get back from a long run … or a Mexican meal?
Scott, if we use commercial craft to put astronauts in space, will there be a limit on overhead luggage? — Dave
I dunno, Dave. But you have to figure the carry-on fees will be astronomical.
Thank you so much for the column on "Retiree raiding" [legislators trying to cut health-care benefits]. When I quit work, I made no more, after 31 years, than $40,000. And I was a college-educated medical disability examiner. I'm living on a fixed income. And they want to take $150 a month away from me? — Mary
Well, Mary, history shows these guys prefer balancing the budget on the backs of rank-and-file residents like you than the special interests who fund their campaigns. The potential good news on this one, though, is that legislators seem to be backing away from this bad idea. But we'll keep watching.
Good news, Scott! I may have a lead on someone who wants to join the Scott Maxwell fan club I am trying to start. I'm hoping that by the end of the year we may have enough members to fill up my Hyundai Elantra for a road trip. — Sam
A five-seater, Sam? You're an optimist.
Scott Maxwell welcomes your thoughts, comments and game-show questions at email@example.com.
Rescue affirms faith in God, church says
Nadia's rescue is a testament to faith
SCOTT ON RETIREE-RAIDING: Worker-bashing is all the rage in Tallahassee — and Omen for Democrats?
Time to let you guys sound off — about everything from Christianity and Nadia Bloom to rotten politicians and my unexpected moment as a game-show question.

Segovia is one of Spain's World Heritage Cities. The aqueduct and the historic town, the site of the Alcázar fortress, its Jewish quarter and the Romanesque churches have received the UNESCO World Heritage designation.
Segovia aqueduct
Segovia aqueduct
Segovia is a World Heritage City, with unique monuments that alone make a visit well worthwhile. However, once in Segovia you will find the city offers much, much more. An old Jewish quarter, stately homes, outstanding views and a green belt which is ideal for a pleasant stroll in the sunshine. This route offers a way to get to know the city in one day.
HOW TO GET THERE Bus: there are several regular bus lines to Madrid, Avila and Salamanca with numerous daily services. Train: several daily high-speed train services (AVE) connect with Madrid (approximately 30 minutes) and Valladolid (approximately 40 minutes). From the station, there is a bus service to the city centre (approximately 15 minutes) By road: Madrid – Segovia: on the A6 motorway, then continue on the AP6 and AP61. Approximate travel time: 1 hour 15 minutes. Avila – Segovia: on the A51 and continue on the AP6 and AP61. Approximate travel time: one hour. By air: the nearest airports are Madrid (87 kilometres), Valladolid (125 kilometres) and Salamanca (164 kilometres).
A VISIT TO THE AQUEDUCT, JEWISH QUARTER AND THE CATHEDRAL (Approximately 2 and a half hours. Suggested timetable: 10:30 am to 1 pm.) A good time to begin our visit to Segovia is at 10:30 am. Our first stop is in the Plaza del Azoguejo square, where we find the main Visitor Reception Centre and the imposing Aqueduct. This is a good opportunity to pick up all the information we need. As well as having our photo taken under the monument, we can also see interesting details, such as the perfect the stone-cutting, or the absence of any kind of adhesive material to keep the blocks together. Each one (weighing up to two tons) is simply placed on top of another, showing how precise the Romans were. If we look closely, we see that –with the exception of some of the lower stones– the rest all have ridges on their sides. These are the marks caused by dragging the stones and raising them into position. From the Aqueduct, we walk towards the Jewish Quarter along Calle Cervantes street, and continue along Calle Juan Bravo street until the Puerta de la Luna arch, which leads onto the Paseo del Salón avenue. On the way we can take a look at the façades of the buildings with their typical decoration, normally featuring varied and attractive geometric and plant motifs. We will also pass the church of San Martín, a good example of Romanesque art in Segovia, and the Casa de los Picos house. Some of the courtyards in this area –for example, the one in the Casa del Río house– are also worth visiting. From the Paseo del Salón, we have a good view of part of the city's green belt, and the Alcázar fortress to the left. We can then go up through the Puerta del Sol arch to Calle de la Judería Vieja (the old Jewish Quarter), and visit the old Main Synagogue. Next, we go around the Cathedral along Calle San Geroteo street to the Plaza de la Merced square, thus taking in the whole of the Jewish Quarter. After we have seen its spectacular exterior, we can enter the cathedral from Calle del Marqués de Arco street, which leads onto Plaza Mayor square. Things to remember It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes, as Segovia has numerous hills. In the Visitor Reception Centre in the Plaza Azoguejo square you can hire guides to show you around the whole city and its monuments. The best-conserved section of the Aqueduct is in Plaza Azoguejo square, although other sections of the monument are still standing and in good condition. These sections, however, have been restored, as you can note from the style of the arches or from the stones themselves. The rest of the aqueduct extends to the mountains for about 14 kilometres. One of the best views of the Aqueduct can be had from the top of the Postigo steps beside it, next to the information centre. There is a small market in Plaza Mayor square on Thursday mornings. The remains of the old Jewish Cemetery are located in the green area known as El Pinarillo, in front of the Jewish Quarter. LUNCH This is the time to sample the local gastronomy. There are a host of restaurants in the streets leading off Plaza Mayor square, in the area around the Cathedral and in Plaza del Azoguejo square. On a warm sunny day, there are numerous terraces where you can sit and enjoy the impressive views over the monuments. When you order, make sure to order such typical dishes as roast suckling pig or milk-fed lamb. For fish lovers, trout is the best option.
VISIT TO THE ALCÁZAR AND UP TO THE TOWER (Approximately 1 and a half hours. Suggested timetable: 3:30-5 pm.) Segovia is a city that can be explored on foot, and a gentle walk will take us to the Alcázar fortress. As well as visiting the interior, it is definitely worthwhile to climb to the top of the tower (152 stairs), as it offers outstanding views of the church of Vera Cruz and El Parral monastery. There is also another surprise in store for us: all around us, the mountains spread in waves like a great sea. Nearby, in the centre of the city, stands the Cathedral. The Aqueduct is a little lower down, although it cannot be seen from the Alcázar. Segovia's layout and gradient mean that many people conceive of the city as a great ship, with the Alcázar at the prow, the Cathedral as the main mast, and the Aqueduct as the anchor cast into the sea, represented by the mountain range. Bearing this image in mind, our view from the top of the tower acquires the vantage point of a sailor. Things to remember The visit to the Alcázar has two parts: the interior rooms of the building, consisting of the weapons room and the chapel; and the tower. The climb to the tower, although not requiring any great levels of fitness, may be hard due to the shallow steps and the narrowness of the stairwell. It is advisable to book in advance for guided visits in languages other than Spanish. LOOKING OUT OVER A BALCONY WITH A THOUSAND VIEWS (Approximately 1 and a half hours. Suggested timetable: 5-6:30 pm.) Segovia is surrounded by a stretch of greenery that offers up a different view at every turn: a mysterious castle (the Alcázar) which rises from among the trees, a large river, and a fortified citadel with multiple towers. All this makes it an ideal spot for photographers. What's more, the city is filled with natural light, particularly between the months of May and September, which makes it the perfect place for strolling amidst the greenery with the Alcázar as a backdrop. A good way of spending the afternoon, if we are not tired enough to go back to the hotel, is to head down from the Alcázar to the Eresma river, and cross the bridge to visit the church of Vera Cruz, the Fuencisla shrine and the Convent of the Barefoot Carmelites or El Parral monastery. Also, if we take along something to eat, we can sit peacefully beside the river and have a picnic under the shade of the trees as we enjoy the afternoon. Things to remember There are three signposted routes around the city, all of which take us past the Jewish cemetery, the Fuencisla, Vera Cruz, El Parral and the convent of the Barefoot Carmelites. These are highly recommended on a sunny day and will guarantee you take home some unique photos of Segovia. You can rent bicycles in Plaza Mayor square - a great way to enjoy the city's green belt. El Parral has a mass in Gregorian chant every Sunday at midday. Buying souvenirs (Approximately 1 and a half hours. Suggested timetable: 7-8:30 pm.) It's time to go back to the walled city and pick up a few souvenirs. We go up along the Puerta de Santiago, a road which is part of the Way of Saint James. The Poets' Garden is a good place to stop and take some photographs. The area around Plaza Mayor square is a great spot to find a whole range of souvenirs of the city, including typical local crafts, and all kinds of gifts. DINNER OVERLOOKING THE ILLUMINATED AQUEDUCT The Paseo del Salón, Plaza Mayor, Plaza de Medina del Campo and the streets between them are full of places where you can whet your appetite with some typical Segovian tapas. But there's one unforgettable way of rounding off your day, and that is having a wonderful dinner against a backdrop of the illuminated Aqueduct. This is the perfect time to try some delicious wild mushrooms or tasty Cantimpalos chorizos. Afterwards, if we want to get a taste of Segovia's nightlife, there are numerous venues in the San Millán area playing the latest music. If we feel like a leisurely stroll before returning to our hotel, the historic centre of the town, with all the monuments beautifully lit up, is an excellent option. Things to remember The Visitors Reception Centre arranges dramatised visits by night during July and August.

Health officials have issued a do-not-drink order at a downtown Los Angeles hotel where a missing Canadian woman's body was found in the rooftop water supply.
The disclosure contradicts a previous police statement that the water had been deemed safe.
Allen Solomon, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, said Wednesday that the agency's laboratory is analyzing the water from the rooftop cistern. Results are expected Thursday morning.
A maintenance worker at the historic Cecil Hotel found the remains of 21-year-old Elisa Lam on Tuesday morning after guests complained about low water pressure.
Police are working to determine if her death was the result of foul play or an accident.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
British tourist Michael Baugh and his wife said water had only dribbled out of the taps at the downtown Cecil Hotel for days.
On Tuesday, after showering, brushing their teeth and drinking some of the tap water, they headed down to the lobby and found out why.
The body of a Canadian woman had been discovered at the bottom of one of four cisterns on the roof of the historic hotel near Skid Row. The tanks provide water for the hotel taps and would have been used by guests for washing and drinking.
"The moment we found out, we felt a bit sick to the stomach, quite literally, especially having drank the water, we're not well mentally," Michael Baugh, 27, said.
Los Angeles police Sgt. Rudy Lopez said the county Department of Public Health had tested the water and deemed it safe. Department officials did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
A call to the hotel also went unreturned.
The remains of Elisa Lam, 21, were found by a maintenance worker at the 600-room hotel that charges $65 a night after guests complained about the low water pressure.
Police detectives were working to determine if her death was the result of foul play or an accident.
Lopez called it suspicious and said a coroner's investigation will determine Lam's cause of death.
Before she died, hotel surveillance footage showed Lam inside an elevator pushing buttons and sticking her head out the doors, looking in both directions. She was later found in the water tank.
The discovery turned the Baughs' two-week vacation into a nightmare.
"We'd hop in the shower, imagine, the water sprinkles out, and this is the only appropriate word, it dribbled out," Baugh said.
He and his wife Sabina, 27, who were on their first trip to the U.S., had booked their room as part of a tour package and had "no idea that it was in a dodgy area," he said.
The hotel is on Main Street in a part of downtown where efforts at gentrification often conflicts with homelessness and crime.
"When you look at the area, it's not surprising," Baugh said of the discovery of the body. "Everyone we spoke to said why are you staying there? Don't walk at night in that area, stay indoors."
Lam, of Vancouver, British Columbia, traveled alone to Los Angeles on Jan. 26 and was last seen five days later by workers at the hotel.
Lopez said the hotel has four cisterns on its roof that are each about 10 feet tall, 4.5 feet wide and hold at least 1,000 gallons of water.
Lam's body was found Tuesday morning at the bottom of one cistern that was about three-quarters full of water, Lopez said.
The opening at the top of the cistern is too small to accommodate firefighters and equipment, so they had to cut a hole in the storage tank to recover Lam's body.
The cisterns are on a platform at least 10 feet above the roof.
To get to the tanks, someone would have to go to the top floor then take a staircase with a locked door and emergency alarm preventing roof access.
Another ladder would have to be taken to the platform and a person would have to climb the side of the tank.
Lopez said there are no security cameras on the roof.
Lam intended to travel to Santa Cruz, about 350 miles north of Los Angeles. Officials said she tended to use public transportation and had been in touch with her family daily until she disappeared.
The Cecil Hotel was built in the 1920s and refurbished several years ago. It had once been the occasional home of infamous serial killers such as Richard Ramirez, known as the Night Stalker, and Austrian prison author Jack Unterweger, who was convicted of murdering nine prostitutes in Europe and the U.S., the Los Angeles Times reported.
Baugh and his wife had planned to go to SeaWorld on Wednesday but instead camped in the hotel lobby for more than 12 hours because they refused to sign a health risk waiver to stay in their rooms as they waited to hear back from their tour agency to be placed elsewhere.
"We've got nowhere to go, we've got all our luggage with us," Michael Baugh said.
They also called their family and the British Embassy trying to figure out what to do.
The couple hadn't touched any water at the hotel since learning the body had been discovered.
Eventually, they were placed at another downtown hotel with a less than sterling reputation, from what they heard.
"We're just going from one dodgy place to another," Baugh said, resigned, "but at least there's water."

Friends of J.S. Jenks, an independent nonprofit organization whose mission is to enhance the educational and enrichment opportunities at J.S. Jenks Elementary School in Chestnut Hill, has received a grant of $30,000 from the Primary Partnership Program at the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, 8000 St. Martin's Lane.
The grant, which was announced by the Rev. Jarrett Kerbel, rector, will provide Friends of J.S. Jenks with $10,000 each year for the next three years.
Kerbel said the Primary Partnership Program was designed "to form a meaningful relationship between the church community and the organizations we support." He said the church hopes to help Friends of J.S. Jenks achieve its goals through both financial and volunteer support. He added that "excellent public schools are crucial to the health of Philadelphia."
Kerbel said every congregation and business should be "passionately concerned about public schools" and their impact on the education of children, businesses and economic development. He said the church is currently working on the policy level of this issue through organizations such as Philadelphians Organized to Witness Empower and Rebuild (P.O.W.E.R.)
"We [the church] understand that public schools educate the vast majority of students in Philadelphia," Kerbel said. "We were impressed by how the parents and staff [at J.S. Jenks] were really working together in a passionate love for their school in an effective way. The Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields really wanted to encourage this kind of engagement in our public schools – especially our local one – that's right down the street."
Haviva Goldman, president of Friends of J.S. Jenks, said the organization was excited about receiving the Primary Partner Grant from the church and is looking forward to strengthening its relationship with the church.
"Jarrett Kerbel has been a strong supporter of our efforts at the Friends of J.S. Jenks from our inception," Goldman said.
Last year, Goldman and Kerbel met to discuss ways that the congregation could become involved in Friends of J.S. Jenks and the school.
"The church has hosted three of our fundraising events thus far, and the Primary Partner Grant is the next step in this collaboration," Goldman said. "It's a win-win situation for the church and for Jenks. Members of the church who are interested in volunteering in the community in a meaningful way will be able to make a tremendous difference at Jenks at a time when slashed budgets mean that community support is more needed than ever."
Goldman said funds from the grant will be used to develop and design two new programs. In collaboration with the church and the school, Friends of J.S. Jenks will develop an after-school culinary arts program focused on creating healthy, child-friendly menus, purchasing food, developing flavor profiles, measuring and math skills, and age appropriate knife and cooking skills.
"The program would tie into our school-garden initiative and the church's Wednesday supper program, bringing in both the 'green' and 'community' themes to our students," Goldman said. "We hope that we can extend this collaboration to include other community organizations such as Weavers Way."
Goldman said the second initiative will be to develop a 12-week advanced arts and science after-school program. Jennifer Nagda, who helped write the grant, said the after-school program will allow students to explore subjects outside the traditional curriculum.
"This generous grant will foster a new and strong partnership between the John Story Jenks and St. Martin's communities, allowing community members to bring their unique talents and skills – artistic, scientific, culinary – into their neighborhood school to the future artists, scientists and chefs of Philadelphia, who, in turn, will share their own skills and talents with Chestnut Hill through events like juried art shows and a community meal," Nagda said.
Goldman said Friends of J.S. Jenks will be meeting with the church over the summer "so that we can hit the ground running with new programming initiatives in the next school year." She added that her organization will hold a planning meeting next month to discuss programming and budgeting for the next academic year.
"We've raised almost $9,000 from our annual event and ongoing annual fund campaign, but we are still actively seeking contributions in order to reach our goals," Goldman said. "The money we raise now will determine how much we can put towards arts, music and entertainment programming next year. And with the budget as it stands, the school will need as much as we can possibly give."
Mary Lynskey, principal of Jenks, said the school is thankful for the church's generosity and continued support.
"It is amazing that in a time when the future is so dark for the School District of Philadelphia that Jenks is fortunate to have such a benevolent partner in St. Martin's," Lynskey said. "We are encouraged by the generosity that our community partners, particularly St. Martin's has shown us. With the deepest heartfelt gratitude we offer our most sincere thanks to all who worked so hard to make this partnership happen."
She added that thanks to the community's generosity the school can "look forward to next year with hope."

Scott Bryant is a kind and genuine holistic health practitioner and nutritional coach. He has extensive education,... training and experience in the fields of holistic lifestyle coaching, nutritional coaching, and truly health improving exercise, as opposed to the more conventional personal trainers and nutritionists who follow a fragmented approach which is not fully holistic. I completed an initial Skype consultation with Scott which lasted for over 2 hours and during this time Scott was able to give me some simple foundational recommendations and suggestions which I could begin implementing into my life straight away, in order to improve my health and reduce the level of stress in my life. For anyone who is genuinely and truly interested in improving their health, fitness and wellbeing, I recommend that you complete an initial consultation with Scott because he is very thorough, methodical, and follows a truly holistic approach to healthcare and wellbeing. Essentially, Scott will be able to help you to identify the areas of your diet, lifestyle and fitness regime which needs to be addressed and potentially changed so that you can start experiencing true health. Most importantly, Scott follows the CHEK approach to health coaching which means that he will show you how to get healthy and fit, and stay healthy for the long term, rather than focusing only on short term " quick fixes" which usually do not create any sustained improvements and can often lead to additional health challenges in the future. Thank you Scott for the time and recommendations which you gave to me. I continue to implement them on a daily and weekly basis and they continue to improve my health each week.read more

I've been working with Scott for a month and can already notice changes both physically and mentally. I found Scott... at a time where I felt like I'd exhausted all options and felt helpless. I suffered with Lumbar Spondylolisthesis (L5/S1) which is a form of a disc herniation in the lower back. I have struggled with pain since I was 12 years old. Since that point I have seen a variety of professionals, topped off with two spinal operations. Throughout all of those experiences I never felt understood or felt confident in their decisions like I do with Scott and his approach. His extensive knowledge combined with his natural caring energy has taught me a lot in a short space of time; I feel heard, understood and cared for. I enjoy the exercises provided in my plan as I can feel how and why they work, and I have also opened up my mind to shamanic healing. Together we have set goals and I can't wait to feel the difference.read more

With reverence and gratitude, I am able to share this testimony on behalf of Scott @ Active Bryant Systems. Scott was... an able map in his skill set with my funding options. He took me through a thorough session which he called 'brief'; we established that I had an inverted breathing pattern. Through a physical release technique, corrective online programming, and consistent, friendly support we have implemented the first step solution which has alleviated neck pain. Lots more work to be done but it's great to know where to start and where we are going. Pleased to call you a friend. Peace, love and all the goodies,read more

Have you got Parasites? Fungal infections? These are two very overlooked medical conditions that many doctors would poo... poo if you felt you had them (excuse the pun). I caught parasites for a variety of reasons and my GP did not believe me. The NHS stool tests are a waste of time as they only look for 4-6 parasites when there are 3500 recorded. I had nowhere to turn. Being a fan of the work of Holistic Health Expert Paul Chek, I searched for a CHEK certified master practitioner & found Scott. Scott is a master CHEK practitioner meaning unlike a nutritionist who is focused on nutrition, or a DR who is focused on the allopathic method, or a chiropractor etc focused on their skill he is well versed in all healing arts and views you as a holistic being. It turns out among having very low hydrochloric acid levels in my gut making me susceptible to parasites I had a lot of stress far more than was realised and ended up with adrenal fatigue too which destroyed my immune system. I had an initial consultation whereby Scott laid down the plan after reviewing my symptoms etc Within a few days I had my private stool sample sent out which is the worlds best lab. I then started my lifestyle and diet review which is a few documents that need to be filled out over a week so Scott can really know where my health sticking points are. Moreover, we then did a metabolic type test which determines what foods your actually meant to eat for your genetic and geographical body type, quite incredible. Whilst im only two weeks in and about to start the metabolic type protocol to heal my issues such as gut and adrenals, and I am about to start the parasite cleanse shortly, Scott has saved me as I had nobody else to go to who had the experience or knowledge. Scott is also a Shaman and during sessions he has been helping me with belief, entitlement and my dreams. I cant be grateful enough and recommend him if you want to loose weight, get in shape, heal any illness or disease you name it Scott is you Master.read more

I was lucky enough to have found Scott at a time when I was suffering from both upper and lower back pain at a very... young age, with two herniated discs and prolonged soreness and tension across my upper body. This was developed over the years of sedentary life style and incorrect training in the gym. I found Scott's website online by randomly searching for "pain + personal trainer" on google and his website came out on the top of the results. I was immediately attracted by the way he set out his training philosophy, and the unanimous positive feedback he received from previous clients. I gave him a ring immediately. Despite being made aware of my limited affordability, he spent 45 minutes with on the phone asking about and advising on my conditions. I was touched by the genuine care he showed to me as a stranger, more than many doctors I have seen. With limited time and income, I signed up to train once a week with Scott. Despite of the limited frequency, the systematic approach he's taken, the focus on both physical and spiritual health and the extensiveness and depth of the assessment he has done with me have been truly impressive. The programme I am on has been personalised for myself, based on my past and current conditions, and I am really starting to feel a difference. I look forward to the coming session with Scott, and would highly recommend him to anyone who desires good health and overall well being.read more

Scott Bryant is one of most friendly honest loving person who help me. I lost my job in my local weightlifting club and... I want some direct about starting a personal training career. I email Scott and explain my dilemma in an message on Scott website. This man phone the next day and gave me advice on personal training as a career. Scott told me the up and the down. Scott believe in me and has inspiration me with his words and knowledge. He gave me business advice, words of encouragement, he told me the traps to avoid, he told me about his career with ups and down, and most important he made my day. He made me feel good about myself, about my future and about my life. If you want personal training, advice, guided, getting out of pain etc, then Scott Bryant is the man. I am glad to called Scott Bryant a friend of my mine. Scott Bryant is a wonderful human being. I still can't believe that Scott phone me and help me. I am so gratefully to Scott.read more

Offense Sputtering
Well, we learned Doc is human. He lost last night as the offense continued to sputter. Shane broke out of his funk which is a good sign.
Great front page headline in today's Philadelphia Daily News: Powerball Winner, with a photo of a smiling Ryan Howard. Good to know the big guy will be a Phillie for a while. Not many 40 homer, 135 RBI guys on this universe.
Checking out this date in Phillies history, we have mixed results in playing the Giants. In 1965, we hit six home runs at SF and still lost, 14-13. Then, seven years ago, Kevin Millwood no-hit the Giants at the Vet. Don't believe Jamie will duplicate the no-hitter.

Selecting a Transducer
By BoatUS Editorial Staff
As the technology of sonar (an acronym for Sound Navigation and Ranging) has developed, prices have dropped dramatically at the same time that choices have widened. What once was a simple electronic device meant to determine the water's depth now has numerous capabilities to find fish, scan the bottom for obstructions, or create underwater maps.
Whether it's a simple portable fishfinder or a commercial mapping system weighing several tons, all sonar devices operate on the same principles using two parts: a transducer and a processor/display. The transducer is both a sender and receiver. It is placed in the water, or in a medium adjacent to the water, and emits an acoustic signal with a characteristic waveform. This signal passes through the water at a known rate of speed and is reflected off any object with a density different than water. When part of the acoustic signal strikes an object, it is reflected back to the transducer, which receives it and sends it to the processor.
The processor/display is a group of electronic circuits that interprets the signals received by the transducer. It will have some mechanism to display the results, ranging from a flashing light to color LCD graphic maps. Dedicated units often have some controls for signal gain or for other features. Some scanning models may even use a laptop computer as the processor and display.
Finding the proper depth sounder or fishfinder to meet your needs requires a choice between numerous brands and models. Many of us have a tendency to solely concentrate on the features or appearance of the processor/display unit, neglecting the transducer altogether. This mistake can lead you to the wrong choice.
Transducer Frequency
Transducers for recreational and light commercial boats usually operate on frequencies between about 25 and 400 KHz, with 50 and 200 KHz being the two most common. As with most radio or radar transmissions, lower frequencies generally have greater penetrating power while higher frequencies offer higher resolution or detail. A low frequency around 50 KHz is excellent for displaying a wide area of the bottom, especially if the water is deep, while a higher frequency shows more bottom detail in shallow water, a very useful trait for fishfinders and recorders. A depth sounder signal that reads up to 400' in fresh water may lose as much as half of its penetrating power in saltwater, so lower frequencies may be favored for saltwater use.
Many fishfinders have dual-frequency transducers, with 50/200 KHz combinations being the most common. Since the body of a fish is mostly water, the depth finder signals don't bounce directly off their bodies — it is the air in fishes' gills and air bladder that create the target. With dual frequencies, the low frequency can search a wide area of deep water for targets, showing schools of fish as wide patches on the screen. The higher frequency offers more detail of objects directly below the boat, showing better bottom formations, bottom-feeding fish, and schools of baitfish, especially in shallower waters.
There is wide variety in dual-frequency and multiplefrequency models. Some have the ability to switch back and forth between two frequencies, while others offer two screens to view simultaneously. A few even have the ability to detect their own acoustic signals when a large number of boats fishing nearby with similar units create "crosstalk and other interference". The transducers of some high-end scanning sonars have multiple elements within their housings, allowing them to "see" in front of the boat or out to the sides.
Transducer Beam Width
A second important feature when selecting a depth finder transducer is the width of the beam (also known as cone angle) it was designed to emit. Transducers with a wide beam width of up to 50° will "see" around their location at a wide section of the bottom. As the amount of area is increased, the bottom resolution is decreased, so a wide beam is fine for searching for fish in the water column but not detecting bottom details like breaks, shallow holes or small contours.
A narrow beam of 10-15°, on the other hand, concentrates its energy on a section right below the boat. When looking for individual fish or bottom structure in shallow water (say under 100-200'), a narrow-beamed transducer should be the first choice. Note that there is a certain amount of correlation between a transducer's frequency and its beam width. As a general rule, lower frequency and a wider beam angle tend to go together while higher frequency and narrower beam width are usually companions. This makes sense, as the latter makes a great depth sounder while the former is an obvious choice as a fishfinder.
Output Power
Output power is quoted in watts just as any transmitter or audio receiver. Here, however, the ratings have little meaning and more power is not always better. Too much power in shallow water is as ineffective as too little power in deep water. Generally speaking, units in the 100-200 watt range are sufficient for shallow water use and units up to 1,000 watts and more may be necessary to probe deep canyons and drop-offs. Using a transducer from a 100-watt unit on a 1,000-watt unit is also not a good idea as the excessive energy from the more powerful fishfinder will soon destroy the crystals within the small transducer.
Transducer Materials
In the distant past, the working portion of all transducers was captured in a traditional bronze housing with a long, narrow stem and a curious aerodynamic shape. Today, many transducers are contained in space age strong plastic housings. These tough new materials have great advantages over bronze in reducing corrosion and electrolysis, and are designed to stand up to the abuse of long-term immersion in seawater.
Transducer Mounting and Style
Transducers may be installed through the hull, in water- or oil-filled boxes inside certain hulls, attached to the inside of some fiberglass boats, or mounted on the transom. The only requirement is that no air space or high-density material blocks the transducer's stream of acoustic pulses. Because of this flexibility in mounting, several styles of transducers are manufactured, assuring easy installation on all types of boats.
- Long-stemmed bronze transducers are still best when mounting through the hull on a boat with a very deep "V" or high deadrise angle where fairing blocks must be used to keep the transducer close to vertical.
- Low-profile plastic transducers with a mushroom head are easiest to mount through the hull on a boat with a flat surface and little "V" shape.
- A few low-profile through-hull models have a hollow plastic housing and a removable inner transducer. These are ideal for trailerable boats where the transducer might be damaged in the launching process.
- Flush-mount transducers are ideal for depth sounders on racing sailboats and other applications where a fair hull is important. These sometimes require a special countersinking tool for proper installation.
- Transom-mount transducers are usually flat on their leading edge, with an adjustable bracket or pivoting hardware to attach to the boat's stern below the waterline. When installing a transom-mount transducer, make certain it is mounted in an area of the transom with the least amount of disturbed water. It is not uncommon to find the ability of your transom mount transducer to show clear images is drastically reduced as the speed of the boat increases. Most often a small "adjustment" of the tilt or depth of the transducer can greatly improve it's performance at high speed. On some vessels however, you may need to experiment by placing the transducer at different spots on the transom to obtain the optimum results.

"Rambo," "Burning Man" and "James Brown" are just some of the gourmet burgers you can get at trendy Potato Head Folk on Keong Saik Road in Singapore. They taste best eaten in one piece, with your hands, and are served on the third floor of the building. You'll like the kitsch-art backdrop and the soul and hip-hop soundtrack. Cocktails are served on the roof terrace overlooking the city.

OpenStreetBlock is an open web service developed by Michael Frumin that converts lat/log coordinates to plain English location names.
OpenStreetBlock is a web service for turning a given lat/lon coordinate (e.g. 40.737813,-73.997887) into a textual description of the actual city block to which the coordinate points (e.g. "West 14th Street bet. 6th Ave. & 7th Ave") using OpenStreetMap data.
There are likely many applications for such a service. It should be quite useful any time you might need to succinctly describe a given location without using a map.

Reilly rallies for first Paralympic Games medal
Three-time U.S. Paralympian Shirley Reilly won her first ever Paralympic Games medal Sunday, a silver.
LONDON – In the final bend of the women's 5000m (T54) race, Shirley Reilly burst from the pack to secure the silver medal behind Switzerland's Edith Wolf at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Reilly crossed the line in 12:27.91, just off the 12:27.87 winning time.
"I definitely wanted to go for the win, but I'm OK with the silver," three-time U.S. Paralympian Reilly said. "This is my third Paralympics, I attack really well in battle, and hopefully in my next race I can go out with the gold."
It is her first ever Paralympic medal.
"It's been a long wait," she said. "It feels really exciting."
Australia's Christie Dawes came through for the bronze in 12:28.24
Surprisingly, the three women's 5000m (T54) medalists from the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games failed to make the podium with gold medalist Amanda McGrory of the United States, silver medalist Diane Roy of Canada and bronze medalist Shelly Woods of Great Britain finishing seventh, ninth and eighth respectively in London.
Reilly has a full schedule in London with the 400m (T53), 800m (T53), 1500m (T54) and the marathon (T54) remaining. "I have five events, so this is just my first one and hopefully the next one I can do just as well," she said.

Get To Know Vitra

People, we're having a sale on all things Vitra for the next week (through Oct. 18, 2012). In honor of that, let's take a look at some of Vitra's iconic products.
Vitra produces George Nelson's mid-century modern clock designs. This is the Sunburst Clock, but there is a slew of diverse designs to choose from.
These are Panton Chairs, also known as "S Chairs" – designed by Vernor Panton back in the sixties. They come in lots of yummy colors. If you've been waiting to pull the trigger on some of these, do it this week while you can save 15%.
In addition to the cutest product shot ever, we have the Eames Elephant. The prototype was designed by Charles and Ray Eames back in 1945, and was rendered in plywood. Vitra actually put it into production over 60 years later, this time in polypropylene.
This is Jasper Morrison's Cork Stool. There are three different shapes to choose from. I like them because they are so versatile – you can tuck them underneath a console table as extra seating in a tight space, use them to hold a table lamp and cocktails as a side table, or just enjoy them as sculpture.
Sori Yanagi's designed this Butterfly Stool in 1954. I feel calmer just looking at it.
This is a thick composition of Vitra's Algue. These are plastic pieces that snap together to form anything from small sculptural wall hangings to thick, vine-like screens.
Finally, take a virtual visit to Vitra's campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany. My favorite building is Vitrahaus and Lounge Chair Atelier by Herzog & de Meuron, which received a ton of buzz when it first went up back in 2010.
Hi, I'm Becky. I live in Atlanta. Besides acting as the Editorial Director here on Hatch, you can find me talking design over at Houzz. Make me happy — leave a comment!

Why is jury selection so slow?
SANFORD, Fla. – Number 1 question I am fielding on Twitter re: #zimmermantrial is about the pace of jury selection: Why so slow, you ask?
I sat down with Orlando-based criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Amir Ladan about that to get an answer. Here's what he had to say:
"It is painfully slow but it needs to be slow. I think my concern would be if they did this jury questionnaire and then brought in 30 people at one time, you could end up tainting your jury panel by asking these questions openly amongst 30 people and that's why they are taking them one at a time."
SPECIAL SECTION: George Zimmerman trial
"I think that folks that are following the trial need to understand that this is going to take a long time because it is probably the most important part of the process. Once you impanel the jury, you don't get to speak with them again, we don't get to know what their positions are and so it really is vital to making sure that they have a fair and impartial jury to preside over the case."

"Thinner. Stronger. Faster. Smarter." Those are the merits that Motorola's CEO Sanjay Jha touted when unveiling the new Droid RAZR smartphone. With a powerful 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, a bright and sharp qHD resolution screen, 4G LTE data speed — all in laser-cut woven Kevlar fiber body — the Droid RAZR is not only slick, but powerful.
And sexy.
The last time the RAZR brand was used it was for the world's best-selling and thinnest cellphone — pre-iPhone. That was in 2007. Motorola's since managed to wrestle some marketshare back from Apple, Samsung and BlackBerry with its line of Android-powered DROID smartphones on Verizon. All was going well until Apple dropped its iPhone 4 on Verizon earlier this year.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
With the Droid RAZR, Motorola's taking Big Red back.
Incredibly Thin and Strong
The entire essence of the original RAZR cellphone was its sheer thinness. We're happy to report that the Droid RAZR is a worthy heir to the brand. At 7.1mm thick, the Droid RAZR is the world's thinnest smartphone, besting the likes of Samsung's 8.5mm Galaxy S II and Apple's 9.3mm iPhone 4S.
The back looks like carbon fiber, but it's not — it's laser-cut woven Kevlar. The entire core of the Droid RAZR is made of pure stainless steel. Motorola says it'll have no problem passing the "back pocket test." We tried bending the phone and there really is no flex to it. This is one strong smartphone.
As if that isn't enough, Motorola even says the phone is has a "splash-guard" that'll keep it working even in wet weather. That's fine and all, but the Droid RAZR's screen is also extremely prone to smudges, something we think is way worse than getting a few raindrops on the screen.
Huge Screen Vibrant Screen
Really, the center of any modern smartphone is not only it's design, but it's touchscreen.
The Droid RAZR packs a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Advanced screen cut from Corning's Gorilla Glass. That means it's scratch resistant and very durable. Check out this video of Samsung's Galaxy S II with Gorilla Glass v.s. the iPhone's chemically strengthened screen to become a Corning believer.
With a qHD (960x540) resolution screen, text, photos and videos look amazing. It's not quite as dense as the iPhone 4S's Retina Display, but the extra inch in screen size really makes a big difference.
Dual-core Processors and HD Cameras
Nope, the Droid RAZR isn't running the upcoming Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich — it's only Gingerbread — but the device still felt relatively zippy thanks to its dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. Transitions between screens, opening apps, loading photos/videos and opening music opened up without much difficulty.
On the back is an 8-megapixel 1080p HD video camera and on the front a 1.3-megapixel camera capable of 720p HD video chat. The demo units indicate that shooting with it will be fast, but we'll reserve judgement when we get a longer hands-on time. We just hope Skype looks amazing with the front cam.
Another big feature that Motorola was eager to share with is the Droid RAZR's Smart Actions function — optimized software that automatically switches certain tasks off like Bluetooth and GPS at unneeded times in order to increase battery life.
Motorola says with Smart Actions turned on, the Droid RAZR can provide up to 30 percent better battery life than its competitors. Jha took a dig a the Samsung Droid Charge, claiming the Droid RAZR can best it's 6.5 hours of talk time with 12.5 hours.
Fast 4G LTE Data Speeds
Verizon didn't provide any concrete details on when the RAZR would be available, only that it'll be released in November for $300 with a two-year contract. It'll utilize Verizon's latest 4G LTE speed network for the fastest downloads, too. The Droid RAZR comes with 16GB of onboard storage and a 16GB microSD card (expandable to 64GB with 32GB card).
4G LTE is important. It's fast, but it's also a battery hog. That's probably where the optimized Smart Actions comes into play. We tested a quick stream of Tron: Legacy from Netflix over 4G LTE (the first smartphone to do so) and the stream is not too bad. It's not perfect (there's a lot of pixelation from buffering times), but it gets better after a few minutes.
It's important to note that 4G LTE isn't available everywhere yet, so you should check up if it's available in your area before dropping the big bucks on a Droid RAZR. If it's not, it might be on its way. Verizon is flipping the switch on 4G LTE in another 178 U.S. cities by the end of this year and hopes to have the entire country covered with 4G LTE by 2013.

Jacksonville, Ala. ---Chelsea Hudson recorded her fifth double-double of the season but Tennessee State fell short on the road against Jacksonville State, 84-76, in Pete Mathews Coliseum.
Hudson registered 16 points and 12 rebounds to lead Tennessee State (6-13, 3-3 OVC) while Alana Morris (11), I'mani Davis (10) and Jemilah Leonard (10) also finished in double-figures.
Jacksonville State (7-14, 3-5 OVC) was led in scoring by Miranda Cantrell's 21 points and 12 rebounds while Candace Morton added 19. Briana Benson (14) and Destany McClin (10) also posted double-digits for JSU.
Midway through the opening frame, TSU had fallen behind, 18-9, thanks to a slow shooting start. The Lady Tiger offense started to pick up some steam behind consecutive buckets from Alana Morris before TSU closed the gap to two points, 30-28, following I'mani Davis' three-point play.
The Lady Tigers, however, were outscored 9-3 in the final three minutes of the half and went into the locker room trailing the Gamecocks, 41-33.
JSU scored the first bucket of the second half but TSU scored the next six points on consecutive three-point plays by Chelsea Hudson. The score was, 47-40, in favor of the Gamecocks when a triple by Jemilah Leonard sparked a 7-0 run that pulled the Lady Tigers within one.
The opponent built the advantage back up to a seven-point cushion before another rally cut the deficit down to one again.
Both teams traded buckets as the Lady Tigers stayed within striking distance over the next several possessions.
With the game winding down and 49.9 seconds on the clock, Brianna Morrow made two free-throws to make the score, 78-76, in favor of the home team.
TSU missed its next four shot attempts as JSU held on for the win.
Tennessee State shot 36.7 percent from the field while struggling from three-point range (3-of-22). The Lady Tigers won the battle of the boards, 46-44, and shot a season-high 78.9 percent from the free-throw line.
Jacksonville State shot 40 percent from the field, including 46.2 percent from beyond the arc. The Gamecocks shot 41 free-throws and made 82.9 percent of them in the contest.
The Lady Tigers return to action on Saturday, Jan. 25 at home against Morehead State. Game time is slated for 5:30 p.m. in the Gentry Center.

7th Annual Leimert Park Book Fair pays Homage to the 1960's
By Troy Tieuel
LAWT Contributing Writer
"It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive," said the American novelist, playwright, poet and social critic James A. Baldwin, the 2013 Legacy Honoree for the 7th Annual Leimert Park Book Fair, occurring June 29 in the Vision Theater's back lot.
The Leimert Park Book Fair, founded in 2006, promotes literacy in the African American community. Cynthia Exum, Founder and Executive Director of the Leimert Park Book Fair, has prepared a quality line up of events for this year's fair, which includes celebrities, well known authors, and outstanding political officials. This year's book fair also pays homage to the legacy of the 1960's featuring the music, politics, and of course notable writings and writers of that era.
Among this year's Featured Authors are actress Victoria Rowell, Judge Mablean Ephriam, Associate Professor of Economics at Loyola Marymount University Robert Singleton, author Gary Phillips, and Rev. James Lawson who will speak about "Martin Luther King Jr.'s Legacy in the Era of Obama."
The Fair will host five literary pavilions that will feature poetry performances, writers, publishers and a storytelling stage along with the Memphis-based "Stax Museum of American Soul Music" that will provide the sound track of 1960's that helped inspire the Civil Rights Movement.
Panels include "From Page to Screen: Adapting Books Into Screenplays" moderated by Janice Rhoshalle Littlejohn, journalist, author and producer. The panel is designed to offer tips to aspiring and established writers on how to transform novels, non-fiction books and articles into scripts for television and feature films.
"This panel is a very unique one for the book fair this year as it focuses both on the creative process of writing as well as the business end of Hollywood" added Littlejohn. "I am very excited to have author Mishna Wolff on the panel. Her bestselling memoir, 'I'm Down' was one of my favorite summer reads a few years ago."

Bangalore: Rejoicing after Kolkata Knight Riders lifted their second IPL title by beating favourites Kings XI Punjab in the final, off-spinner Sunil Narine said the triumph this year is more satisfying than their maiden trophy win in 2012. KKR chased down 200 runs last night to become the only team after Chennai Super Kings to bag two IPL titles.
Narine (1/46) was not exactly at his best in the summit clash but ended up as the tournament's second highest wicket-taker -- 21 scalps. "This year was even better since we scripted a win chasing 200, which is no easy task. The guys have worked hard for this win and we totally deserve this moment. We did not have the best of starts this year, but we ended up with nine straight wins, which is phenomenal," Narine told the IPL's official website.
"Winning it once is good, but to win it twice is a massive achievement and a tremendous feeling. Let us hope we can continue doing it ever after year. It is a great feeling to be a part of KKR and more importantly perform for the team. This year, it was a total team effort and credit to the whole team to show such character till the end of the tournament," he added.
Narine lauded batsman Manish Pandey, who top-scored for KKR with 50-ball 94. "Manish Pandey was brilliant. Chasing down a total of 200 requires a very strong mind and Manish showed that today. He generated momentum throughout the innings and built on it till the end," he said.
Narine, who let go of a West Indies Test assignment against New Zealand to play in the final, dedicated the win to the KKR fans. "This is for all the fans in Kolkata who have supported us, come what may. It has been a pleasure to play at Eden Gardens this year as well, and hopefully, we can come back next year and retain the title," he said....
