Manuscript Monday: Denver's first house?
Anselm Holcomb Barker, born 1822, was an Ohio native. Early in his life he was a blacksmith, and later became a businessman. For more information, check out this archives finding aid.
One of the many folks interested in the gold rumored to have been found in Cherry Creek, Barker traveled from Nebraska to Colorado via the Platte River in October, 1858. Just a few days after their arrival, Barker and the rest in the party founded the Auraria Town Company. They had heard about a settlement already founded in the area, but found no trace of a foundation or fixed lodging. Barker started construction on his house, thought to be the first permanent dwelling in the area, on 1 November 1858 on the Auraria settlement, and moved in on the 4th of November. Here is a drawing of his place.
The Anselm Holcomb Barker Papers include Barker's journals from 1858-1894, and correspondence to and from his granddaughter, Lucille L. Gewinner. This collection is available in Western History & Genealogy at the Central Denver Public Library.

How can bucket theory speak more effectively to retired clients' inner goals? That timely question was tackled by Kol Birke and David Juliano of Commonwealth Financial Network in a tag-team presentation at the 5th annual Retirement Income Symposium in Boston on Thursday morning.
Positioning Yourself as a Retirement Income Guru
Juliano, a senior advanced planning consultant, kicked off the "Psychological Benefits and Technical Hurdles of Retirement Income Buckets" presentation by reviewing how advisors can set up their practices to position themselves as retirement income specialists.
In the accumulation phase, your clients' (and your) chief concerns were market loss and inflation, while in the retirement income phase these issues also include healthcare costs, outliving assets and ensuring adequate survivor income. Juliano pointed out that even clients who have worked with you for years will be wondering if you know their optimum Social Security claiming strategy, or can tell them in what order to liquidate their investments.
Achieving the typical interlinking objectives of lifetime income, legacy goals and asset protection means dealing with many moving parts, such as Social Security, pensions, qualified and nonqualified plans, annuities and deferred compensation. That's a lot to juggle, and it may mean your client's retirement phase is more service-oriented even though the assets you manage are dwindling. Advisors need to develop a scalable approach to managing this complexity, Juliano said.
Helping Clients Make the Best Decisions
Birke took over to address the bucket approach as a way of framing retirement asset allocation in a client-friendly way. Since people prefer guarantees to probabilities, instead of showing them a pie chart with a 10% cash allocation, you can talk about a "bucket" of guaranteed income for the next three years. Other framing tips:
- Instead of "retirement," which suggests an ending, use "financial independence," which suggests a beginning;
- Instead of "equity exposure," use "investments for potential growth;"
- Instead of "self-insurance" for long-term care, which sounds mandatory, use "self-funding," which sounds discretionary.
Birke also explained that getting a message across is a combination of factors: the words you choose (about 7% of total impact), the way you say them (38%), and your body language (55%). You don't have to be an expert at this in order to improve customer understanding, satisfaction, and eventual referrals, but you'll outperform most other advisors if you just become incrementally better each time you speak with a client.
A new model of data gathering is also part of helping clients make better decisions, Birke said. This includes:
Define the goals. This is your most powerful leverage in influencing plan success. Clients' goals are often out of focus. Your task is to clarify not only "what" these goals are but "why," in order to help the client truly get behind them. If you need to modify the plan later, explain how it will (or won't) affect these inner goals. Tools that can help clients visualize their goals are an "ideal week in retirement" worksheet or a spreadsheet of how they're currently spending their time vs. how they would like to spend it.
Take an inventory of their fears, using their own words. Echo these specific words when you talk to them.
Inventory their strengths. This private process will help you understand how to influence their behavior. It's always easier and more pleasurable for everyone concerned to go with the flow rather than against it.
Inventory mistakes they've made and lessons learned. This information may be useful if they contemplate a similar error later.
Know how they behave when stressed. The "fight or flight" response incites panic that blots out consideration of other options. "Rest and digest," by contrast, broadens one's perspective and allows contemplation of goals. To help evoke the latter response, slow down the conversation (get a cup of coffee or move around the office).
Implementing the Plan
To implement the bucket approach, Juliano said, you need to be able to control and aggregate assets and have the tools and alerts to rebalance between "buckets" as needed. He described a five-step process:
- Determine the tax characteristics of accounts;
- Determine the duration of each bucket's contents;
- Determine the specific holdings in each bucket;
- Create the paycheck (regular stream of income to the client);
- Monitor the plan; rebalance buckets as necessary.
Juliano noted that in putting this process together, you'll want to consider the number of accounts per client, estimated trading costs, the software tools needed to explain the bucket concept, staffing, and compensation.
Last, Birke summarized, be sure to follow up after the plan is implemented. You may be satisfied, but what is the client thinking? Ask if the plan is meeting their needs and expectations, and if there's anything else you could do for them. Make an opportunity to ensure that they understand the value of your expertise–much like the housewife in an early cake-mix ad who brushed flour in her hair to emphasize her hard work.

Now, having just done this; I wonder if I just re-invented the wheel [I am known to do that].
Perhaps there are existing enhancements or patches available that already accomplish the same, in a more elegant manner?
Also, I am "happily unaware" of any unexpected consequences this change could have, although it does seem that every time a sketch compiles, the libraries are also re-compiled, so it seems safe. Or is there perhaps something that I really should know?
How would a library source file include "config.h" from the Sketch directory?

For an application that is teetering on the Flash limit or is especially time critical, being able to trim and optimize library code can make a huge impact.

Born: 1924, Volozhin, Poland
Describes saying goodbye to mother when leaving for Vilna with sister [Interview: 1999]
Lucille's father died three months before she was born. Lucille's mother decided to immigrate to the United States with Lucille and her sister, Fejga. They completed all the paperwork, but were unable to get their final papers because of the German invasion of Poland in 1939. Volozhin was in the Soviet-occupied zone of Poland. Lucille and her sister feared arrest by the Soviets because they were members of a Jewish Zionist youth group. The girls fled to Vilna, where their mother later joined them. Their American immigration papers were forwarded to the consulate in Kovno. Lucille and her sister traveled to Kovno for those papers and also succeeded in obtaining Japanese transit visas. They left Vilna, traveling by the Trans-Siberian Express, and arrived in Japan in September 1940. In November 1940, they arrived in the United States. Their mother joined them a year later.

Like many inner-city students, Keren Osman's school bus isn't yellow. It's a public transit bus. Every morning, the 658 takes her from the poor flatlands of East Oakland up into the posh, eucalyptus-strewn hills where she attends Skyline High School.
"Most people think our school could be private, it's in such a nice location. And I've been going for two years and don't want to leave," says Keren.
She may not have a ride to school much longer, however, because of a bureaucratic fight brewing between Washington and major cities across the country.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is clamping down on transit bus routes such as the 658 that were created to shuttle schoolchildren. The FTA wants to be sure that federal dollars to city transit systems aren't subsidizing school busing, harming private bus companies' ability to compete.
The push for private competition could sock some of the country's struggling inner-city school systems with a huge new bill, say transit and school officials. Schools without private bus services say they would be "beside themselves trying to establish a bus service this late in the year," says Jim LaRusch, chief council for the American Public Transportation Association.
Oakland Unified School District estimates private busing costs would run into tens of millions of dollars. It already costs $8 million a year to privately transport the district's 1,500 special needs students – a sliver of the roughly 20,000 students that travel daily by public bus.
"It would mean tremendous and unwarranted expense that jeopardizes access to schools for people from underserved communities," says Troy Flint, Oakland schools spokesperson. It's not clear, he adds, if private contractors would provide the same "depth and range of services."
By piggybacking on an existing transit network, Oakland schools can offer a $15 monthly bus pass to students, giving them the flexibility to stay after school. For Keren, that means the chance to participate in volleyball and the Black Student Union.
"I don't think a private entity can do that, charging the school zero, and charging the kids $15 a month, and then providing them with not just school transit but all the other transit we do," says Chris Peeples, board president of AC Transit, which serves Oakland.
As a public entity, he adds, they have community support for special levies to help subsidize student passes. Federal monies for maintenance are also used for buses that primarily transport students – triggering FTA and industry concern.
A private company can't match a federally subsidized transit agency when the agency is "essentially using taxpayer dollars that are intended for transportation of the general public," says Robin Leeds, spokesperson for the National School Transportation Association. The group represents private bus companies and supports the FTA clampdown.
Private operators would be interested in serving inner-city routes if they can do so on a level playing field, says Ms. Leeds. They have at least one selling point: the yellow buses have more child-safety features than city buses.
The FTA was motivated to clarify its interpretation of the federal statutes after a court decision this year in Rochester, N. Y. A US district court found that Rochester could create bus routes for students, as long as members of the public could hypothetically board the buses, too.
FTA attorneys dispute that reading. The rules allow for subsidized fares and additional buses to handle students on established lines, they say, but not for creating special routes exclusively for students – like the 658 – without regard for any other demand.
No one knows for sure how many cities will now find themselves afoul of the FTA interpretation. But experts point to cities from Sioux City, Iowa, to Dayton, Ohio.
"It is clear that it will have devastating effects," reads a statement from the American Public Transportation Association. "Many schools report this proposal would result in a complete disruption of service, and in at least one case, entire state systems would suffer."
The FTA notes that transit agencies can apply for an exemption if they can show private operators are "unable to provide adequate transportation, at a reasonable rate." But it's unclear if exemptions would be given when private service costs significantly more. Rochester, for example, estimated that switching to private buses would cost another $8 million to $10 million a year. If exemptions aren't granted in such scenarios, schools may have to decide whether to cut programs or busing. California and some other states don't mandate that schools provide transportation.
"Talk about No Child Left Behind. I'd say half the school would be left down the hill," says Michele LeProhn, president of Skyline's parent-teacher association. It's a 40-minute uphill slog from the nearest regular service stop.
Keren can go to a school closer by, one she went to before transferring to the much-sought-after Skyline. The FTA ruling complicates the ability of "flatlanders" – who tend to be minorities – to go to schools like Skyline, says Mr. Flint.

Heat stroke: Taunton opens windows
Big sky–that's what has stayed with me from the short time I lived in New Mexico. The blueness seemed to go on forever as the intense sun lit up the desert landscape. Sometimes it was so bright my head would hurt–the sky and earth were exotic and almost unreal compared to the blah Chicago winter I'd left behind.
It's a sensation Tim Taunton captures perfectly in the seven paintings displayed in the exhibition, "Through the Looking Glass," on view at Migration: A Gallery. Better known as a ceramist, Taunton paints previously sculpted figures into western landscapes, where they take part in mysterious stories unfolding beneath searing blue skies.
Taunton offers only glimpses of these narratives, though. Surrounding his oil-glaze-on-board works with frames that resemble white stucco windows– complete with small sills– he orients viewers so that they are inside looking out. What's seen is a truncated version of events happening beyond the window, where shadows, architectural fragments, and items scattered on the ground offer tantalizing clues for viewers to piece together.
The only exception to this positioning is "War Child," which has viewers first look across a room– where a TV-watching boy in an army helmet sits cross-legged amid toy soldiers– before peering out the window to a bare-chested, and helmeted figure standing astride a hobby horse in the bright day. Like all of Taunton's works, the image vacillates between realism and surrealism, presenting a world at once familiar and alien.
Taunton's compositions are not large, and sky fills much of each frame. The figures and details conveying narrative information are tiny yet precisely rendered, as if painted with the single-bristled brushes used by ancient Indian miniaturists. His palette, for the most part, is richly saturated–from the terracotta of the desert earth to the cerulean blue of the sky–and he uses colors to create subtle relationships between elements.
Although Taunton never veers into full-blown surrealism, the influence of Salvador Dali is evident, particularly in the image "Le Revenant." Here a Dali-faced harlequin holds up an egg (ala Dali's "The Metamorphosis of Narcissus)" while kneeling on a dry lakebed by a Dali-esque reflective body of water. Architectural ruins loom in the distance, while closer, a fire-breather walks on stilts behind two circus tents on the right.
Evoking the kind of waking dreams brought on by sun-induced delirium, Taunton's paintings are as brilliant as they are bright.
Tim Taunton's exhibition, "Through the Looking Glass," is on view through November 30 at Migration: A Gallery. 119 5th St. SE. 293-2200.

I'm not so sure about long hours comment. I hear people still work alot of hours @SNL. I've even heard that they've been told to not take lunch or to take lunch @their desks.
The smell of sulfur lurks around SNL.
It has a deserved reputation as a soul-killing sweatshop. The really smart people don't work at SNL, only the "smart enough for now" individuals, who are never as truly intelligent as they imagine themselves to be.
Those in the Know will avoid SNL as they would a veneral disease.
"After all, they're dealing with Wall Street.,".....considering the economy and Wall street's current popularity with the general public...I wouldn't tout the fact I was "dealing" with Wall Street...realizing that this article is three years old, maybe THEN it was still swauve to be in their company. Thanks, Quasimodo, for bringing this back to the forefront. The employees that are there and are "happy" will only be until their usefulness is completed...then to be tossed on the heap with the rest of the "souls"....

Sometimes what you read or are told is blatantly contradicted in reality (as was the case for those of us relying on Stafford Loans). Other times the director disingenuously reinterprets things in such a way so as to remain true to the letter of what was written but with an entirely different outcome. Thus, he is able to fault you for misunderstanding while denying any blame for his willful manipulation, much like TAT does in their post. As to the point about Tel Aviv University, I don't know which post TAT is referring to having to do with their credentials. Again, that's not quite the point. The point is that TAU really has little if anything to do with TASP beyond the TAU classes TASP piggy-backs onto. TAU will *not* be able to provide any advice or assistance for those having trouble with TASP. Tel Aviv University is a real institution of higher education with deans, department heads, student advisors, support staff and ethical oversight. Tuition at TAU is paid on a per-term / per-semester basis with refunds for the unused balance of tuition. TASP, on the other hand, is a closed, insular dictatorship, the sole province of one man where there is no recourse for grievances except through him and where your tuition is gone the minute it is in his hands even if you never spend a minute in the programme. Again, this is unlike any programme of its kind. It's no wonder this extraordinary aspect of the programme escapes many people. Now, if either of these aspects has changed -- either TASP's unheard-of tuition policy or the complete lack of any ethical oversight -- then perhaps TAT will let us know. As to TASP not being "perfect", we can all agree that no programme is. A programme like TASP, however, that literally hemorrhages students, with huge portions of cohorts fleeing without finishing their degrees is, once again, unheard-of and a sign of real trouble. Special Forces or high-pressure med-schools may see such a high attrition rate. Not TESOL courses. Again, let's remember that all of those "dropouts" are college graduates who carefully read, listened to and believed what they were told about the programme and who thought they were making smart decisions based on the best possible information. They (we) left because, despite what we read and were told, we encountered a reality that was very different. This is not the fault of the "dropouts". We dropped out as a result of the deceitful manipulations of the man running TASP.

I believe in what it is to the Israeli children and what it can be for the individual. With anything, it is what you make of it. A great deal of what people have been describing in this forum have been kinks in the program that have been changed. Currently TASP is in its 4th year at Tel Aviv University. We have begun a student advisory council that works with the University student government, the university professors, the Directors of TASP, and the board of directors of TASP. It is just one example of how the program is evolving positively. We have a unique opportunity to work in the public school system (religious or non religious) and to attend a major university. For me as a non Hebrew speaker there are only 3 English graduate programs at TAU that I know of. Sacler Medical School, Middle Eastern Studies, and TASP. Israel is a wonderful place, with many different faces. If you have more questions about TASP or anything, I'm always up for a good discussion. feel free to email me directly if u wish...

While I would describe the problems I, and many, many other folks have had with TASP as quite a bit more than "kinks" (huge portions of an entire year's cohort do not flee a programme because of mere "kinks") it is nice to know such changes are happening. Now, if TASP would take the step of refunding the students' money for those who do not finish the programme, it would go quite a way towards transforming TASP into a legitimate programme. Throughout my years of study in higher education, I have simply never encountered an institution that refused to refund students at least some portion of their unused tuition. Perhaps they exist. I have never heard of the practise prior to encountering TASP. In the rest of the academic world, the proportions of the refunds you receive may vary based on a whole host of criteria, and certainly there are deadlines after which no refund is possible. These deadlines are always well into the term, however. TASP's policy of refusing refunds for people who haven't even started the programme is absolutely unethical, though. Of all the things over the years that TASP has pulled that strain its credibility to the breaking point, this policy is the one that needs to be changed the most. The changes Jeremy describes above are a welcome starting point. Those of us who have experienced the more vindictive and uglier side of TASP will need to see a lot more before we're convinced of its new merits. Back to top TRUTHABOUTTASPJoined: 01 Aug 2006Posts: 3 Posted: Tue Nov 07, 2006 5:10 pm Post subject: Please email questions, comments There is so much criticism of TASP on this site that I couldn't blame anyone for deciding not to even apply or pursue more information from the program directors and current students. I am not getting into a protratced dispute on this site with previous students who feel (or were) burned, and I won't be posting anymore. Anyone visiting here gets the point that some previous students had many grievances, and I really don't see the need for those ex-students to respond to me now, though I wholeheartedly expect it. I simply tried to show in my previous posting that a lot on here is speculation seemingly from non-TASPers. And some of it is outdated info from ex-TASPers who attended an unknown number of years ago. I write now wishing only to emphasize beyond my previous posting that you should really hear what CURRENTLY ENROLLED students think (moreso than this info on Dave's), and I can help you do that: ***PLEASE READ*** My group ("cohort 9") started last year with 20 students & currently 18 are still enrolled. I can't speak for them, but they all seem generally content to me. One dropped out very early on due to health reasons and the other one got married and worked full-time. The new cohort (10) seems very content; maybe they too will post on this site after some time in the program. We all know that there were greater numbers of dropouts in the past and we don't assume it's the fault of the students. But I would add that both of the current cohorts are highly motivated, proactive, and savvy, and we've been able to resolve a great number of issues to our satisfaction, and in a pretty stress-free format we've established (i.e. the TASP Student Advisory Council, or AC). So if you want current perspectives from 2nd-year students who are slated to complete the program, email me ([email protected]) and I will provide you with e-mails of those who are interested in discussing the program, and the emails of the directors if you like. The students won't hide problems if they believe there are any, but I am quite sure you will get a different perspective than the ones saturating this forum. I love being in Israel; the school where I teach rocks; and - bottom line - knowing what I know now, I would still attend TASP.

Posterior Cervical Lymph Nodes: Posterior cervical lymph nodes are glands that are a part of the immune system and are located in the neck behind the anterior cervical lymph nodes. Posterior cervical lymph nodes consist of lymphatic tissues enclosed by a fibrous capsule. They contain scavenging white blood cells that fight infection and its spread. They act as filters that strain out potentially harmful pathogens and microorganisms from lymph fluid that drains from the nearby areas in the neck and head. Swollen posterior cervical nodes are often a sign of disease or infection.
Posterior cervical lymph nodes contain sinuses, germinal centers, trabeculae, scavenger cells, and reticular fibers. Conditions that can afflict the posterior cervical lymph nodes include upper respiratory infection, cellulitis, lymphadenopathy, swollen lymph nodes, metastasis of cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma.

Arkansas Highway Department blames storm for missing road reflectors
Plows easily pull up reflectors from ground
Normally in the middle of the Interstate 540, there are little reflectors along the dividing line placed a few feet apart from each other.
But in certain stretches of local highways, they are missing.
The Arkansas Highway Department said it's a recent trend due to the winter weather.
The department said the reflectors are bonded onto the road surface but they can be scraped off by snow plows.
"They do not have any kind of resistance to the snow plow," says Washington County district engineer Chad Adams. "As soon as they go down, as soon as the snow plow or winter weather event comes, depending on where that plow hits, you could potentially knock out every marker as you go through there."
Officials said it costs about 72 cents apiece to replace each marker. The money to replace the pavement markers comes from the same budget the Highway Department uses for asphalt, salt and other materials.
The markers can only be replaced after the winter ends, when it's warm enough for the epoxy placed on the bottom of each one to attach to the road properly.
"It's just going to depend on personnel, time and equipment to be able to get to do those routes," Adams said. "It's very likely, I might say, the routes would not get the raised pavement markers set back down every year."

Foote, Julia A.J.
Dear Sisters : I would that I could tell you; a hundredth part of what God has revealed to me of his glory, especially on that never-to-be-forgotten night when I received my high and holy calling. The songs I heard I think were those which Job, David and Isaiah speak of hearing at night upon their beds, or the one of which the Revelator says "no man could learn."Certain it is, I have not been able to sing it since, though at times I have seemed to hear the distant echo of the music. When I tried to repeat it, it vanished in the direct distance. Glory! glory! glory to the Most High!
Sisters, shall not you and I unite with the heavenly host in the grand chorus? If so, you will not let what man may say or do, keep you from doing the will of the Lord or using the gifts you have for the good of others. How much easier to bear the reproach of men
One time I allowed my mind to dwell too much on my physical condition. I was suffering severely from throat difficulty, and took the advice of friends, and sought a cure from earthly physicians, instead of applying to the Great Physician. For this reason my joy was checked, and I was obliged to cease my public labors for several years. During all this time I was less spiritual, less zealous, yet I was not willing to accept the suggestion of Satan, that I had forfeited the blessing of holiness. But alas! the witness was not clear, and God suffered me to pass through close trials, tossed by the billows of temptation.
Losing my loving husband just at this time, I had much of the world to struggle with and against.
Those who are wholly sanctified need not fear that God will hide his face, if they continue to walk in the light even as Christ is in five light. Then they have fellowship with the Father and the Son, and become of one spirit with the Lord. I do not believe God ever withdraws himself from a soul which does not first withdraw itself from him, though such may abide union cloud for a season, and have to cry: "My God! my God! why hast thou forsaken me?"
Glory to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus christ! His blood meets all the demands of the law against us. It is the blood of Christ that sues for the fulfillment of his last will and testament, and brings down every blessing into the soul.
When I had well nigh despaired of a cure from my bodily infirmities, I cried from the depths of my soul for the blood of Jesus to be applied to my throat. My faith laid hold of the precious promises-- John xiv 14; Mark ii. 23; xi.24. At once I ceased trying to join the iron and the clay-- the truth of God with the sayings and advice of men. I looked to my God for a fresh act of his sanctifying power. Bless his name! deliverance did come, with the balm, and my throat has troubled me but little since. This was ten years ago. Praise
Dear sisters in Christ, are any of you also without understanding and slow of heart to believe, as were the disciples? Although they had seen their Master do many mighty works, yet, with change of place or circumstances, they would go back upon the old ground of carnal reasoning and unbelieving fears. The darkness and ignorance of our natures are such, that, even after we have embraced the Saviour and received his teaching, we are ready to stumble at the plainest truths! Blind unbelief is always sure to err; it is neither trace God nor trust him. Unbelief is ever alive to distrust and fear. So long as this evil root has a place in us, our fears cannot be removed nor our hopes confirmed.
Not till the day of Pentecost did Christ's chosen ones see clearly, or have their understandings opened; and nothing short of a full baptism of the Spirit will dispel our unbelief. Without this, we are but babes-- all our lives are often carried away by our carnal natures and kept in bondage; whereas, if we are wholly saved and live under the full sanctifying influence of the Holy Ghost, we cannot be tossed about with every wind, but, like an iron pillar or a house built upon a rock, prove

Reality TV star Kendall Jenner has stripped down for her most daring photoshoot to date in the new issue of Interview magazine.
The 18-year-old model shot an editorial spread for the style-savvy publication and has shocked her young fans with her sexy transformation.
In one black and white shot, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star goes topless, using her hands to cover her breasts, as her wind-blown hair obscures part of her face.
Another picture shows the long-legged beauty in just a pair of tiny black shorts and high-heeled shoes, sitting in a make-up chair with her arms placed over her bare chest.
In other shots, the teen proudly flashes her torso, while she holds up an oversized black jumper.
Jenner, who has already worked for top designers including Marc Jacobs and walked runways in New York, London and Paris, France, tells Interview that modelling has always been her passion.
She says, "To be honest, this is exactly what I wanted to be. I was always looking up to supermodels, they were, like, my superheroes."

Bookstores may be either part of a chain, or local independent bookstores.
Bookstores can range in size offering from several hundred to several hundred thousands of titles. They may be brick-and-mortar stores or internet only stores or a combination of both. Sizes for the larger bookstores exceed half a million titles.
Bookstores often sell other printed matter besides books, such as newspapers, magazines and maps; additional product lines may vary enormously, particularly among independent bookstores. Colleges and universities often have their own student bookstore on campus that focuses on providing course textbooks and scholarly books, although some on-campus bookstores are owned by large chains.

Wil Myers hits inside-the-park HR as Rays beat Yankees
NEW YORK >> Yankee Stadium is already a home run haven for Wil Myers whether he hits the ball over the fence or not.
Myers had an inside-the-park homer, his latest big blow against the New York Yankees, and drove in four runs as the Tampa Bay Rays battered an ineffective CC Sabathia in a 5-1 victory Sunday.
Erik Bedard earned his first win as a starter since last June, and Evan Longoria had an early RBI double to help the Rays finish 5-5 on a trying trip that included a doubleheader sweep Thursday in Boston and a 14-inning win Friday night in New York.
"One of the best we've ever had," manager Joe Maddon said. "We talked about the possibility of getting a little bit of a bump from the three games in Boston. Apparently, we have."
Desmond Jennings, who homered in his previous three games, had three hits and Logan Forsythe scored twice. Tampa Bay has taken consecutive series for the first time this season, and won eight of its last 10 games in the Bronx.
Myers knocked in three runs with his homer off the top of the center-field fence and then chased Sabathia with a ringing RBI double in the fourth.
Asked if he remembered the previous time he hit an inside-the-park homer, Myers said: "I don't know. Not since I was 8?"
The struggling Sabathia (3-4) gave up 10 hits and five runs in 3 2-3 innings, his shortest start since lasting 2 2-3 innings on Oct. 2, 2009, at Tampa Bay. He was late covering first on a potential double play and got booed during an outing that raised his ERA to 5.75.
"I would have booed myself today, too. I wouldn't want to come to the ballpark and watch that," Sabathia said.
Peyton Manning and his brother, Eli, showed up to watch buddy Derek Jeter play one last time during his final season. The star quarterbacks sat in Jeter's suite along the first base line but didn't see much of a show a slumping Jeter went 0 for 4 and stranded four runners. He was 4 for 30 (.133) on New York's 3-5 homestand and is hitless in 13 at-bats.
Bedard (1-1) pitched six-plus effective innings for his first win as a starter since June 26 for Houston against St. Louis. He had been 0-9 in 15 starts since, though he did win in relief on Sept. 4 against Minnesota.
"I didn't realize how long it's been," Bedard said. "But yeah, it's nice."
Forsythe, the first batter Sabathia faced, doubled off the wall in left and scored on Longoria's ground-rule double to right.
"He was out of sync from the get-go," Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild said. "He didn't warm up particularly well. I was kind of watching to see what we could do, but there wasn't much."
With runners at first and second in the third, Myers sent a long drive to right-center beyond the reach of Jacoby Ellsbury. The ball hit the top of the wall near the 385-foot sign, caromed off a leaping Ellsbury and rolled away along the warning track.
Last season's AL Rookie of the Year jogged out of the batter's box, then turned it on while rounding first base. He scored standing up without a play after second baseman Yangervis Solarte couldn't handle a one-hop throw from right fielder Carlos Beltran, who was late backing up.
"Off the bat, I thought it was gone," Myers said. "Wasn't stoppin'. Wasn't stoppin'."
It was Tampa Bay's 11th inside-the-park homer and first since Ben Zobrist's against Toronto at Tropicana Field on Sept. 25, 2011. The previous player to hit an inside-the-park home run at Yankee Stadium was Jeter against Kansas City on July 22, 2010, according to STATS.
Myers also homered Saturday and had a tiebreaking single in the 14th inning of the series opener Friday night. He has hit safely in all 13 of his games at Yankee Stadium, the longest streak to start a career at the new or old versions of the ballpark.
Myers is batting .375 with four homers and 14 RBIs in seven games against New York this season compared to .202 with no homers and four RBIs against everyone else. Seven of his 17 career homers have come against the Yankees.
Solarte tied it at 1 with a sacrifice fly in the second, but it was all Rays after that. Jake McGee, Joel Peralta and Grant Balfour finished with scoreless relief.
"We didn't really hit at all," Yankees cleanup man Mark Teixeira said. "That was a pretty lackluster performance all the way around."
Alfredo Aceves, called up from the minors Saturday, relieved Sabathia and pitched shutout ball the rest of the way, saving New York's bullpen.
NOTES: Maddon rested the slumping Zobrist to give him consecutive days off, including Monday's off day. Tampa Bay opens a six-game homestand Tuesday night against Baltimore. ... Longoria made his first start of the season at DH, with Forsythe replacing him at third base. ... Yankees INF Brendan Ryan (spine) is close to coming off the DL, manager Joe Girardi said.

4 Reasons Pacquiao Will Beat Mayweather
Filed Under Opinion, Perspective | 2 Comments
4 Reasons why Pacquiao will beat Mayweather
#1. Mayweather Jr. has a tough time with southpaws with speed and power
If you watch Mayweather's fight against Zab Judah, you will see that Zab was able to catch Mayweather with some clean shots in the first few rounds. Mayweather got the win but some say that it was because of Zab's lack of discipline in training for the fight.
Watch Mayweather vs. Zab Judah Video.
After that fight, Mayweather Sr. called Roger Mayweather from prison and told him never to put his son in the ring with a southpaw ever again.
#2. Punch Output
Pacquiao is relentless with his punches. Just watch his fight against Clottey.
You will also notice by watching the Clottey fight that Manny has incredible stamina.
#3. Willing to take punches to give punches
Manny can take a hard punch. He proved that in his fight with hard hitting Miguel Cotto. Miguel Cotto hits harder than Mayweather.
Watch Pacquiao vs. Cotto Video.
Look what happened when Mayweather got hit by Mosley in the second round – he almost went down. Same thing when Zab Judah and Demarcus Corley caught him.
Watch Mayweather vs. Demarcus Corley Video.
Pacquiao hasn't been down since he's started fighting in the US.
#4. Freddie Roach knows how to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mayweather Sr. said that he thought his son lost in his fight with Oscar De La Hoya.
Watch Mayweather Sr. say he thought Oscar won. (skip to 7:53)
Who did Mayweather Sr. say he thought won?
Larry Merchant: Oscar or Floyd, who won?
Mayweather Sr.: "Hey man, If you go by point system, you're gonna have to give it to Oscar"
Freddie Roach trained De La Hoya for that fight. If you watch the highlights from that fight, you can see that De La Hoya knew how to get past Floyd's Philly Shell and shoulder roll.
What Oscar did that was effective in that fight (and Pacman's keys to success):
- He used feints to get in range
- He hit Floyd's lead arm, jabbed to the body and followed up with straight crosses or overhand rights to the head
- Used overhand rights that that exposed Floyd's head (when he was doing a shoulder roll.) Floyd was then open for a left hook.
- Used lead left hooks. Pacquiao has a looping left that is much faster, has more range and he can get out of the way after. Just watch some of the looping lefts that Pac caught Hatton and Cotto with if you need an example.
- Banged up Mayweather's body during a clinch to stop Floyd's punch and hold tactic. Oscar would follow up with punches to the head once distance was created.
Mayweather got the win but it was controversial. Take a look at Mayweather's right eye after the fight. He obviously got tagged more than he had hoped.
The Philly Shell defense's weakness is against fighters with high punch volume. You can only cover certain parts of your body and not without exposing other parts. You can only roll so many times without rolling into a punch. You can only duck at the waist so many times before getting caught with an uppercut.
Factoid: One of Roger Mayweather losses is from Zack "Attack" Padilla who once held the record for most punches thrown in a fight.

While there is also interest from npower Championship sides Bolton, Huddersfield and Doncaster, St Mirren have been told they will not have to come up with a fee if the players decide to stay put in Scotland.
Downey: "Newcastle have offered the lads contract extensions but the talks are on-going. There is still an agreement to be reached on matters like the lengths of the contracts so we will just have to wait and see what happens.
"Nothing has been decided yet and there is interest from other clubs.
"But Newcastle have been impressed by the way Conor and Paul have been treated during their time in Scotland and have agreed that if they do sign for Saints permanently, they will not ask for the compensation fee they are entitled to.
"Instead they will just ask for a sell-on clause to be inserted in their contracts that will see them take a share of any future profit."
Left-back Dummett arrived in Scotland last summer and has made 33 appearances for Saints, while Newton followed in January.
The midfielder has made 17 appearances for Lennon's team and scored his first goal for the club in the 3-2 win over Hearts at Hampden, which secured Saints' first major trophy in 26 years.
Newton: "I haven't accepted the deal from Newcastle yet, we're still talking but I know that other clubs have been on to my agent.
"I owe a lot to St Mirren. It's been a great season for me but nothing has been put down on paper about a permanent move here.
"But it would be an option I'd consider as I've loved my time up here.
"It's still early for me. I would like to test myself down south at some point in my career but I've only been playing first-team football for the past four months so I'm not nave enough to think I'm just going to walk into the side at Newcastle.
"So the next few months are crucial for my development.
"But I would love to make it at Newcastle and get a chance to play in those black and white stripes. It's what every lad from the city dreams of. Right now, though, I will just bide my time."

Gartner has said what it expects to be the top security trends for 2013, citing the rise of cloud computing, social media and employees bringing their own devices to work as among the forces likely to produce radical changes in how enterprises manage IT security. The market research firm also says the "major shift" expected in IT security in 2013 will shake up established IT security vendors as newer players in cloud and mobile challenge them.
RELATED: Cloud security to be most disruptive technology of 2013
Earl Perkins, Gartner research vice president, said during a webinar with clients that the forces cited above, as well as an "information explosion" in the enterprise, are putting enormous pressure on enterprise IT professionals and vendors by "making some of the existing IT infrastructures obsolete." He added: "Will the major providers of security technology be the same ones in three to five years? The answer is probably not."
Perkins said Gartner analysts believe the vendors, service providers and value-added resellers of today are starting to feel the volatility of market changes wrought by the rise of cloud-computing services and new practices such as enterprises adopting smartphones and other mobile devices, and allowing employees to use their own at work. A large IT security firm such as Symantec, although certainly "aware and making changes" due to the growing importance of cloud and mobile, said Perkins, is nonetheless under pressure from many smaller companies that are "nimble" in introducing new technologies.
Mobile and BYOD "challenge the fundamental principles by which we deliver applications," to users and protect user data, said Perkins. It means "consumer identities" will need to be tied to "corporate identities" in terms of authentication, authorization and other identity access and management functions. There will be pressure to "manage diversity" in this, he added. And when it comes to access to cloud-based services, the goal will be to find ways for introducing cloud-based access and authentication so users will "enjoy" these services "adequately and securely" in what may be a hybrid-cloud environment with the enterprise network.
Ricoh CIO explains why he let 9,000 employees go BYOD.
Gartner thinks these forces in motion in 2013 mean the time has come to embrace new ideas about security policy. And Perkins said one such idea is that of "people-centric security" that Gartner says holds each person more responsible for security but in which enterprise IT security staff and the business managers "will respond quickly" if people who are trusted appear to have "abrogated" their responsibilities for data security or unduly challenge requirements put upon them.
It will involve monitoring and educating end-users, Gartner points out. And if this trust-based approach is adopted, it will need to be enforced. That means "swift punishment for people who violate that trust," especially when it comes to mobile BYOD, not with just one "big stick" approach but with "sticks of various sizes" commensurate with risk, Perkins added.
Perkins also said the time has also come to acknowledge there's no such thing as "perfect protection" and that the expense of providing security has to be more commensurate with business risk. That means the dialog between IT and the business user about what security is and what "appropriate risk" levels are has to be undertaken in earnest in 2013. Business people are not really interested in operational metrics of IT, such as how effective patching is, Perkins noted. Their idea of metrics involves factors such as effective, secure collaboration with supply-chain partners and the focus should be to those ends.

The Xperia tablet that was introduced to us by the way of leaked slides is now official. A short while back, Sony announced the new Xperia Tablet S at IFA 2012. The new tablet shares a lot of the design traits of the original Sony Ericsson Tablet S; however, there are improvements and tweaks all around.
The new Xperia Tablet S is slimmer and lighter, and has a diagonal length of 9.4 inches. The specs revealed in the leaked slides were bang-on, and the Xperia tablet comes with an NVidia Tegra 3 chipset, a 1080p IPS display, expandable memory, and 6000 mAh battery. The tablet will hit the shelves with Ice Cream Sandwich; however, a Jelly Bean upgrade is in the works.
The Tablet S is gorgeous and powerful. However, even that might not be enough to guarantee success in the crowded tablet market. And, Sony knows this. The Japanese electronics giant has thrown in quite a few nifty goodies to give the Tablet S an edge.
On the content front, Sony is integrating its multimedia service titled Music and Video unlimited that provides full access to Sony's online music and video catalogue for a flat subscription fee. 5 GB storage in PlayMemories (Sony's cloud storage service) is also thrown in.
On the software front, Sony has added a WatchNow app which will act as your personalized TV guide. It will recommend TV shows based on your social stream and viewing preferences, allow you to checkin to TV shows, and talk about your favorite series over various social networks.
Like its predecessor, the Xperia tablet features an IR emitter, which enables it to act as a programmable universal remote. The improved remote control app now supports macros, which will allow you to pre-configure a sequence of commands.
Finally, the Xperia Tablet S features a guest mode, which is great if you are going to share the tablet with your family and friends. Guests will have their own set of preferences and apps, and can be restricted from accessing certain stuff.
As you might expect, Sony is also going to launch a host of accessories for the Tablet S. The most attractive among them is the Microsoft Surface like smart-cover, which is essentially a cover that can double up as a keyboard. There is also a docking stand that can come in handy when you want to get some serious work done on the tablet. Both of these accessories will cost about $100. Other accessories include a dock speaker ($130), a case ($80 for leather and $51 for non-leather), a charging cradle ($40), and a stand ($25).
The Xperia Tablet S will launch on September 7 with the 16 GB version costing $400 and the 32GB and 64 GB models going for $500 and $600 respectively.

Wins were few and far between for the Bulldog wrestlers last week—at a double dual league meet and at the Clinton tournament.
They're looking pretty good, but making a lot of young mistakes, said coach Scott Clark. His youthful team needs more mat time, he said, noting that last Wednesday's matches were the first weekday dual meets of the season.
At Clinton's Dave Elliott Invitational, freshman John Michael Martinez was the only Bulldog to place. He picked up just one win in the 125-pound class and came in sixth.
Martinez lost to a Clinton wrestler in his opener, but came back to score a 9-0 decision against an East Jackson wrestler. He dropped his next match 2-5 against a Michigan Center.
Jordan Bach (215) scored a pair of pins, but that wasn't enough to place. He downed a Lee wrestler in 18 seconds and Michigan Center wrestler in 34 seconds.
Mitchell Schmucker scored a 13-11 win against Lee at 150 pounds. Ryan Whitaker had a 7-2 lead before he made a wrong move and was pinned.
Three Bulldogs were out of action for disciplinary reasons.
TCC—At Sand Creek last Wednesday, the Bulldogs fell to Clinton 64-15 and to Sand Creek 66-12.
Dustin Roller (130) scored a pin at 1:51 against Clinton and at 2:45 against Sand Creek.
Kyle Clegg (145) scored a pin at 1:02 against Clinton and Brandt Kelly (112) won a close decision, 7-6.
Martinez was the only other winner for the night, stopping his Sand Creek foe at 1:04.

Haren's hot month continues in win over Cubs
Righty allows one run over six innings to improve to 3-0 in August
CHICAGO -- When the Nationals need someone to save the day, lately they've turned to Dan Haren. And he delivered again Tuesday night.
The right-hander tossed six strong innings -- three days after earning his first career save with an emergency relief appearance in a 15-inning win over the Braves -- to lead the Nationals to a 4-2 win over the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Haren admitted he was a little tired when he took the hill.
"[I felt] a little tired at the beginning, especially," he said. "I felt fine physically, but as I was warming up and stuff, it was just a little tougher to get loose. Even the first inning or two was kind of a battle for me."
If it was a struggle for Haren, it didn't show in the results. He gave up one run on five hits while walking none and fanning six. He earned his eighth win of the season and fourth in his last five starts. He also notched his sixth quality start since coming off the disabled list July 8, and improved to 3-0 with a 1.04 ERA in four starts in August.
"As the game progressed, my stuff got better and better," Haren said. "My cutter was real good; I worked it in on lefties a lot. I didn't throw quite as many splits tonight, and my fastball got better as the game went along."
The only blemish on Haren's line came on a Brian Bogusevic solo homer in the fourth. It was only the fourth homer Haren has given up in his last eight starts. Prior to that, he had given up 19 long balls in his first 15 starts on the season.
"Haren pitched a heck of a ballgame," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "After closing [Saturday] and all the stuff he went through a couple days ago, I was counting on him to give me six innings. He came in after five and I thought I was going to have to go to the bullpen … but he said he felt fine and he went out and pitched a great sixth inning."
The Nationals' offense was finally able to get some hits with runners in scoring position, but they still left 12 men on base and only put four runs on the board despite 14 hits.
Washington's scoring came on an RBI double by Ryan Zimmerman in the first, an infield single by Tyler Moore in the sixth and RBI singles by Ian Desmond and Denard Span in the ninth.
But the Nationals had several other chances throughout the game.
They threatened for more in the first but failed to capitalize. With runners at the corners and one out, Wilson Ramos grounded into a 5-4-3 double play.
In the second, they had runners at second and third with nobody out but again couldn't score. Cubs starter Chris Rusin was able to induce a Scott Hairston swinging bunt in front of home plate, then struck out Haren, and got Bryce Harper to hit a tapper back to the mound to escape the jam.
Rusin acknowledged that while he wasn't sharp, things could have been worse for the Cubs.
"I couldn't find my two-seam [fastball] today, but I was able to find some other pitches to get me out of jams," he said. "[I] just made a couple mistakes that cost me, but I was able to get out of some jams."
In the eighth, Ramos was stranded at third after hitting a leadoff double off reliever Pedro Strop.
"We were lucky to get two runs in the last inning," Johnson said. "We had [14] hits. We had so many opportunities."
Desmond and Span, who drove in the last two runs, said it's frustrating to squander so many opportunities, but they're glad they had enough to win Tuesday night.
"Some of the ways we were finding to get out were unbelievable," Desmond said. "A lot of chances, that's the good part. I mean, a full-swing ball that stops right in front of the plate, a popup, I mean stuff like that. Usually those balls get fouled back or whatever [and] you get another opportunity. But that's the way it's going."
"It's not frustrating, because obviously we're getting guys on base, so that part of it is not frustrating," Span said. "The part that we can't get them in is frustrating. The name of the game is scoring runs, and we had opportunities earlier in the game to blow the game wide open and we didn't do it. But thank God we were able to get some more opportunities later on in the game to give us a few more insurance runs going into the ninth inning."
Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard combined for two scoreless innings to get the ball to Rafael Soriano, who picked up his 32nd save of the season despite allowing a solo homer to Donnie Murphy.
With the win, the Nationals gained a game on the Reds and are now 9 1/2 games behind Cincinnati for the second National League Wild Card spot with 37 games remaining.
Washington also improved to 55-15 when scoring at least three runs in a game this season. The issue for the Nationals now is making sure they score enough to win going forward.
Desmond said jokingly that perhaps it's as simple as Johnson telling them exactly where to hit the ball.
"Davey actually told me during the pitching change [in the ninth inning], 'Hit a ground ball through the four-hole and Bryce will come around and score,'" Desmond said. "And I hit it and was like, 'Wow, why didn't you lay it out like that for me all the rest of the year?"

Why am I the biggest Phillies' Phan in the world? It started in 1980. I was not yet born, but I traveled to the World Series while my mother was pregnant with me. From then on, it was in my blood.
My childhood was spent watching games every weekend at my grandmother's house. When we went to the beach we always took a radio down with us for afternoon games and listened to Harry call the play by play. Oh, how I love that voice! I had a stuffed Phanatic and several shirts as a little girl who loved the Phillies.
I'll never forget my first ever Phillies' game. I was 12 years old before my family could take me, but when I went, WOW! I remember vividly the breathtaking sight of the slanted runways of the Vet. As soon as my feet hit the concourse and looked out over the bright green field, I was hooked forever. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. That very year I was blessed to watch the Fightinz on TV as they played into the NLCS and the World Series. I still remember "Wild Thing" Mitch Williams give up the home run ball to end our hopes as I stayed up to watch at a friend's sleepover.
My fanhood continued until it took on a whole new level when I graduated college and really became an adult. I bought tickets to go to the first ever game at Citizen's Bank Park and was selected as one of the first ever "Citizen's Seven!" I stayed for every pitch on that cold, damp, rainy, 50 degree day. I knew I had found my favorite place to be.
Since then, I have driven about 2 hours from Harrisburg, PA to see between 10 and 20 games a season. I was there last year when we clinched the division, and I cried and celebrated as if it were the best day of my life… and it may have been.
I was there this year for Go, Go, Golson's amazing pinch-run to home down the stretch. I stayed through 2 hours of rain delays on the Phanatic's birthday game in May, only to be rewarded with getting to dance on the dugout with him in the 7th inning! A dream come true! I was there for the July 11th fireworks game that went into extra innings and the fireworks into the next day, technically, and stayed for every moment. I also traveled to Washington D.C. to see the Phils play the Nationals on Labor Day. It could have been a home game for the Phils! How awesome! Finally, living in Harrisburg, I've gone to our local Triple A team, the Harrisburg Senators (Nats' minor league system) countless times when the Reading Phillies come to town. It was there that I first saw a young Ryan Howard, months before making it to the big leagues and becoming Rookie of the Year. This year I was lucky enough to watch Golson, Marson, Donald, and Carrasco several times and got some amazing pictures of Carrasco and even got him to sign a ball for me! Giving that much time and love to our prospects has to up the "biggest fan" factor a bit!
I've spent more nights than I can count glued to the TV, trying not to miss a moment of any game. And sadly, living outside of Philadelphia, I've also had to spend a few nights with the AM radio or Gamecast on the computer when our local CW chose not to bring the game on TV.
Being a teacher, I've also decorated my room quite extensively, including a Chase Utley growth chart. magnets and posters from the Phanatic About Reading program that I entered my school in last year (still sad the Phanatic didn't choose our school to visit!), a few rally towels and posters hanging on and around my desk and in the doorway/hallway by my room. I wear one of my many Phillies' shirts every dress down day we have. The two personal days I get every year? Well, I spent the first one this year on October 1st so I could be at Citizen's Bank Park at noon when the postseason pep rally began and then attended the game. The second personal day? Well, I'm hoping to use that one to attend the parade down Broad Street. 🙂 I would love more than anything to be able to go to the World Series. I do not have any tickets yet and cannot afford the astronomical prices on Stubhub and ebay. Please help me get there!!!!!!!!!!!

(CNN) — The preteen shooter who opened fire inside a crowded middle school gym with a shotgun may have warned some students not to go to school before the attack, police in New Mexico said.
The revelation is part of the many angles police are looking into after Tuesday's shooting that left two students wounded, a New Mexico community stunned and a nation again wondering about the safety of its schoolchildren.
"We have preliminary information that possibly some of the students were warned by the individual prior to the shooting not to go to school," said New Mexico State Police Chief Pete Kassetas during a news conference Tuesday night.
He did not elaborate.
Police were executing three search warrants, Kassetas said: for the seventh-grade suspect's school locker, the bag he brought to the school and his home.
"We've got the individual we believe is responsible in state police custody," he said.
What police don't yet have is a motive.
Student Jordan Moody, who described himself as "friendly" with the suspected shooter, said he wasn't aware of any bullying or any other reason for the shooting.
"He just ran in there and just shot, really," Jordan said on CNN's "New Day" on Wednesday.
Searching for answers
The shooting occurred early Tuesday morning at Berrendo Middle School in the city of Roswell.
Police said the 12-year-old suspect, whose identity has not been released, entered the middle school gym, pulled a shotgun out of a bag and opened fire on students waiting for school to start. Two were wounded.
"We've confirmed that it is a 20-gauge shotgun," Kassetas said. "That the wood stock was sawed off."
A 13-year-old girl, Kendal Sanders, was in stable condition Tuesday night following surgery, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez said. Kendal suffered injuries to her right shoulder.
A boy, 11, was in critical condition, and underwent two surgeries. He suffered injuries to the side of his face and neck, the governor said.
The attack lasted about 10 seconds. It might have gone on longer, authorities say, were it not for the actions of a social studies teacher.
Hero teacher
The teacher, John Masterson, walked up to the shooter and persuaded him to put the gun down, Martinez said.
"Mr. Masterson … was a hero … who stood there and allowed a gun to be pointed right at him," the governor said at a vigil Tuesday evening, "and to talk down that young boy to drop the gun so that there would be no more young kids hurt."
The Berrendo staff directory lists John Masterson as an eighth-grade social studies teacher.
Masterson has taught at the school for a decade, and also coaches track and soccer, according to the Albuquerque Journal.
When contacted by the newspaper, he said police told him not to discuss details of the shooting.
"It was a harrowing experience," he told the paper. "All I can say was the staff there did a great job."
Another school shooting
The attack understandably has rattled residents ofRoswell,a city of just under 50,000 people 200 miles southeast of Albuquerque. The shooting puts Roswell on a growing list of places scarred by school shootings.
There will be no school Wednesday as police continue to investigateand the community tries to heal.
"I was in shock when I seen it," said 13-year-old Monique Salcido, who was in the gym during the shooting.
Monique told CNN's Piers Morgan she saw the shooter shoot two of her friends in those terrifying moments.
"I don't want to go to Berrendo again because I'm afraid it's going to happen again," she said.

Step By StepWhat Does Alaska Air Trip Protection Cover
Below are a few recommendations of exactly where and how to spend your time in Alaska.
Whether it's whitewater rafting in Denali National Park or taking in the sights from a float plane, there is plenty of adventure to be found in Alaska. Take a look at some of them here.
1 . Can get on the water.
The state is full of whitewater, and Denali State Park is one of the easiest places to access it. The north-flowing, glacier-fed Nenana River parallels the Parks Motorway by the national recreation area entrance, and employees typically run two trips on it: the mellow, scenic McKinley Run, and the faster Canyon Run, which includes several class III and IV rapids. You can raft the Canyon with Denali Raft Adventures ($89, 2 hours) — you'll appreciate the supplied drysuit.
Fishing is usually another popular on-the-water activity. There are trout in the rivers, trout in the lakes, and monster halibut and cod out at ocean.
A wildife/glacier-viewing time cruise out of Seward is also enjoyable. The Alaska Native-owned Kenai Fjords Tours offers a couple of different routes, from four to 9 hours. You're more likely to see sea otters, puffins, bald silver eagles, seals, sea elephants, whales and maybe even a bear, along with the calving glaciers, rookery destinations, and shoreline highs of Resurrection Gulf.

2. Hike with a guide.
Alaska is a land of backcountry, settled by people who hiked out, discovered a piece of ground that looked good and built a family log cabin on it. You can get a feeling of the vastness from the land by going on your own backcountry trek. Denali is an excellent place for it – the National Park covers more than 2 million hectares and has relatively few established trails. You will find endless opportunities to get shorter hikes in southcentral and interior Alaska as well.
Regardless how long you're within the trail, it's good to go with a guide. Using a company like Ak Nature Guides, you will be led with a local, someone who blazed their own path and made a home in the bush. Their ideas about the land, its history as well as flora and fauna will add layers of meaning to a hike you won't get otherwise.
ANG is certainly one of few businesses with Gold Level Certification in the Adventure Green Alaska plan, which recognizes all of them as an industry innovator in environmentally and culturally sustainable procedures. They run guided hikes in Denali State Park (east of and next to the National Park), as well as around Talkeetna Lakes Park, simply outside of town.

3. Fly to the mountains; climb if you can.
The Alaska Range defines the topography of the state, a crescent spine that curves from the southeastern boundary with Canada, up to just south of Fairbanks, and back down to the sea on the mouth of Cook Inlet. The section most people know and visit, though, is the area surrounding Denali, North America's tallest peak at 6, 193. 5 meters, and its two neighbours, Foraker (5, 303. 5 meters) and Hunter (4, 256. 5 meters).
Getting the view is definitely nice; one of the best places to do so is from your back deck part of the Talkeetna Alaskan Resort. But you get an entirely different perspective once you're actually in the mountains, standing on a glacier, looking up and around at a jagged world of white. To do that, you will need a plane.
A handful of businesses run "flightseeing" trips out of Talkeetna, K2 Aviation getting the biggest. It's also possible to travel in from the Denali area. Whoever you fly with, subscribe to a glacier getting for the full impact.
This is also how climbers access the forest. For information upon climbing, check the Country wide Park's mountaineering reference page.

4. Stay at a boat/plane-accessed lodge.
Fox Island is a stop on two Kenai Fjords time cruises, but you can stay overnight at the Kenai Fjords Wilderness Resort. The property comprises eight cabins (each with capacity for a family of four) lined up between rocky beach and the back tidal lagoon. Package overnight stays that feature a day time cruise on flying day start are available. Kayaking and angling trips are available at extra cost for overnighters; they're part of the offer if you stay several night.
On the contrary side of the Kenai Peninsula, Tutka Bay Lodge has an much more remote feel to it, accessed simply by water taxi from the Homer Spit or sea plane. Tutka is one of the fjords cut into the southern aspect of the larger Kachemak Bay, and the whole area features arctic peaks and Sitka spruce-covered ridges that run right into the ocean. The lodge is set back on a beach opposite a small headland – you can not see it until you're almost on top of it. But once you're there it's quite expansive, with a substantial central deck (with hot tub and sauna), and pathways that connect the main hotel building and 6 luxury cabins of varying size. The Eagle's Nest Chalet (sleeps five) most likely has the best view.
Rates start $1, 300 per evening and include three chef-prepared meals a day, a one-hour massage, wines tastings, yoga, and pretty much any led activity you can think of — kayaking, hiking to glaciers, mountain bicycling, local fishing and boat trips, character walks, and food preparation classes.

Indigo Prophecy (PlayStation 2) review
"Sometimes making the wrong decision leads to a setback, a step missed along the way. Sometimes it leads into a side story you wouldnt have noticed otherwise, like a quaint night of ice-skating between two friends. Sometimes it leads to a game over. The roads diverge, cross, and one of Indigo Prophecys biggest appeals is that it encourages experimentation."
