Description: Petit gyuto hocho, meaning small slicing knife, are a great general purpose utility knife for tasks around the kitchen. The 6 inch, slender blade makes it very useful and versatile from slicing fruit to chopping garlic.
Construction of the blade begins with bundles of special alloy stainless steel wire which are repeatedly folded together and forge-welded by hand. This time consuming process creates a Jigane (the outside layers of the blade) with a beautiful Damascus pattern. The maker than begins preparation of the Hagane (the middle layer of the blade) by hand forging high carbon steel, alloyed with cobalt. The basic construction of the blade is competed by forge-welding the Hagane between two layers of Jigane. Following in the best tradition of knife making, a steel ferrule is forge-welded to the tang to ensure that food particles can not become lodged between the tang and the handle.
The handle was formed by bladesmith Daniel O'Malley from exhibition grade ironwood. The hard-wearing wood will hold up well in the demanding environment of either a commercial or home kitchen. A single piece of ironwood is cut so as to have the wood's unmistakable grain pattern travel across the tang. Mr. O'Malley has profiled the handle to be very comfortable and provide the chef with a secure grip. Two stainless steel hidden bolt rivets and an elegant stainless steel and copper mosaic pin secure the scales to the tang. The rivets have been profiled to match the wood - the seam is imperceptible. This is a knife both high-performing and elegant!

After announcing last week that he was beginning hospice care and no longer going to be fighting esophageal cancer, Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew passed away today at the age of 74.
"Killer" was a legend among Minnesota fans, not only for his impressive Hall of Fame career, but also because of his work off the field long after his playing days had ended. Killebrew made his baseball debut at age 17 with the Washington Senators in 1954, and played there until the franchise moved to Minnesota in 1961. He stayed with the Twins until 1974, and moved to Kansas City for the 1975 season, after which he retired.
During his 22 year career, he played in over 2,400 games, hit a (steroid free) 573 homeruns, had over 1,500 RBI, and sits at number 15 on the all time walk list with 1,559. He played with the 1965 AL Champion Twins (who ended up losing the World Series in 7 amazing games against the Dodgers). At the time that he retired, he was sitting at number 5 on the all time homerun list, and is currently at number 11. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1984.
Killebrew was a beloved presence long after his career came to an end. He was still very active with making appearances throughout Twins Territory and raising money and awareness with various charities. He took the time to meet and speak with every fan who would wait in long lines to meet him.
The Twins will be wearing their throwback 1961 uniforms for every home game for the remainder of the season to honor Killebrew. A #3 jersey hangs in their dugout these days. He will not soon be forgotten.
Maybe now the Twins can turn their abysmal season around to honor his memory...
And enjoy this video below, where Harmon sneaks into an interview we were doing with Michael Cuddyer last summer. This is the Killer we will love and remember forever.

GENEVA (AP) — Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on Thursday painted a dim picture of the world's environmental progress, two decades after he founded the environmental group Green Cross International.
Laying much of the blame on a lack of leadership and vision, he railed against governments for falling short on nuclear disarmament, waste, development and climate change.
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate launched the Geneva-based organization in 1993 as a kind of Red Cross that could help countries in environmental trouble.
Reflecting on the 20 years since then, the 82-year-old Gorbachev acknowledged deep frustrations as an environmental crusader.
"The current economic crisis is being aggravated by the growing pressure on the environment, by poverty, by persisting international conflicts and by the worsening state of the global environment," a bespectacled Gorbachev said in Russian to reporters in Geneva by video link.
"The gap between the poor and the rich is unacceptably wide. The response to climate change has been weak and disunited," he said. "The possibility of building a more secure, more just and more united world has been largely missed."
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says that among his top hopes for 2013 is reaching a new agreement on climate change. Two-decade-old U.N. climate talks have so far failed in their goal of reducing the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions that a vast majority of scientists says are warming the planet.
Last December, a U.N. climate conference in Doha, Qatar, agreed to extend the Kyoto Protocol, a treaty that limits the greenhouse gas output of some rich countries, and affirmed a previous decision to adopt a new global climate pact by 2015.
Green Cross, an international organization with affiliates in Switzerland, the United States and two dozen other nations, has helped facilitate destruction of some 57,000 tons of chemical weapons and promoted nuclear disarmament.
Alexander Likhotal, the Green Cross president, said leaders must be honest about the size of the real challenges facing them and recognize that "incremental gestures will no longer suffice."
Gorbachev, whose democratic changes led against his will to the collapse of the Soviet Union, urged governments to step up their efforts and use his policies of "perestroika" (restructuring) and "glasnost" (openness) to address global climate change and overconsumption of resources.

5 Professional Outfits To Take You Stylishly Through The Work Week
Fact: it doesn't have to be a suit to be suitable for work. Navigating office dress codes can be tricky, but keep these tips in mind and you'll leave a lasting impression every day of the week.
Breathe new life into your standby black blazer by adding trousers with an of-the-moment print and a neckerchief knotted tightly around the neck. The result is unexpected, yet still professional.

Get more mileage out of your favorite dress by styling it under a chic sweater. For post-work cocktails, ditch the layers and grab a chic clutch and gloves.
Burberry Brit Wool Blend Crew Neck Sweater ($495) in Camel; Rachel Comey Terrain Medina Dress ($426, similar style here) in Khaki; SVEE Infinity Scarf ($165, 347.294.0194 or email@example.com ) in Grey; Mawi Earrings ($441); Ann Taylor Varick Tassel Leather Gloves ($80) in Black; BCBGMaxazria Harlow Envelope Clutch ($88) in Black; Isa Tapia Angelina Pumps ($650) in Black/Black.

Aaron Hernandez's cousin being held in Mass. jail
BOSTON (AP) — A cousin of a former New England Patriots player charged with murder has been jailed in Massachusetts.
A Suffolk County Sheriff's Department spokesman says Tanya Cummings-Singleton has been in custody since Aug. 1 but won't say why.
Bristol District Attorney Sam Sutter's spokesman said Friday he couldn't comment on anything related to a closed grand jury proceeding. Sutter's office is prosecuting Cummings-Singleton's cousin Aaron Hernandez in the death of semi-pro football player Odin (OH'-dihn) Lloyd.
Hernandez was cut by the Patriots and has pleaded not guilty.
A recent affidavit says after Lloyd's killing Cummings-Singleton bought a bus ticket for Ernest Wallace, who's believed to have been with Hernandez the night Lloyd died.
Wallace later surrendered in Florida. He has denied a charge of accessory to murder after the fact.
Cummings-Singleton's family hasn't commented.

In an effort to save a theater and break a Guinness World Record, the 6 Corners BBQ Festival is asking Chicagoans for their help.
The Portage Park Theater, located at 4050 N. Milwaukee Ave., is at risk of being replaced with a church. Community organizers hope to bring attention to this by attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the most people wearing sunglasses in the dark.
During the BBQ Street Festival this Father's Day weekend, organizer Bob Brobson hopes to create some family fun with this event by gathering people (and their sunglasses) inside of the Portage Theater in attempt to break the record.
"The Portage Park Theater is a local economic engine and a public venue for the community," Brobson said. "I thought this would be a good way to draw attention to our campaign and save the theater."
The current record is estimated to be 674 and is held in Chicago. Brobson said he hopes to keep the title in the city, but has a goal of 1300 people.
Singer/songwriter Corey Hart, who sung the 1983 hit, "Sunglasses at Night", has extended his help with a video-taped message/performance that will serve as an introduction to the event.
The event is free and accessed through the main gate of the BBQ festival. Seats are limited.

Colorado junior quarterback Hirschman, tied on top of depth chart, says he's transferring
BOULDER, Colo. – Colorado junior quarterback Nick Hirschman says he plans to transfer.
Hirschman, who was competing with Connor Wood for the starting spot, said Friday it's a personal choice to give up his final two years of eligibility.
If he graduates from Colorado as scheduled this spring with a communication degree after three years of coursework, he would be eligible under NCAA rules to compete elsewhere this fall.
Hirschman says he is looking to continue his football career where he can earn his graduate degree.
Coach Mike MacIntyre has granted him a release from his scholarship to all schools other than any other Pac-12 rivals or Colorado opponents in 2013 or 2014.
Colorado previously lost quarterback Jordan Webb to a season-ending ACL tear.

EDIT: Fixed the problem. The program had been made a static library in the options.
I have recently started into a book on building a game engine. My current problem isn't actually the code (I don't think) or any other logical error I can double check.
My problem is that while everything compiles great, there's no executable file. Normally you can compile and run, but this only outputs the standard .a file, no .exe with it. I have tried the different means in the program, such as the run button, ctrl-F10 and ctrl-F9 (which is compile AND run), however I can't seem to trick it into running.
If anyone happens to know or can tell why it won't give me the option to run the code, I would love to know. Any help is appreciated.
Disclaimer: I have successfully run the BOOK's code from the CD it comes with, and it has the option to run. I am assuming the files I'm linking have something to do with it, but I've followed instructions to the letter, and everything compiles fine. I've never encountered this before..

Montezuma-Cortez High School will be presenting William Shakespeare's "Macbeth," the second performance in its season line-up. The show runs Friday, Jan. 25, Saturday, Jan. 26, Friday, Feb. 1 and Saturday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. There will be a special matinee showing at 1 p.m. on Feb. 2.
Skipping out on the traditional Middle Ages style of a Macbeth performance, M-CHS students will be filtering the tragic classic in a new light. The show will be performed in grayscale with shadows, fog and all black and white props, reminiscent of classic film noir.
The story will remain true to the play; a young man who is foretold he will become king, commits murder for the crown and his entire world begins to crumble.
The M-CHS show will be set in the 1940s, complete with gangsters and tommy guns, but will adhere to Shakespearean speak. Sets, make-up and costumes will be done in grayscale. The only color included will be red, to emote guilt felt by the main character.
The show will be performed in the M-CHS auditorium. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Children five and under are free. To make reservations call 565-3722 ext. 2198 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, the number of seats needed, phone number and the date for which show you would like to attend.
See next Thursday's Journal for a complete preview to the M-CHS performance.
Visit www.mchsdrama.org to learn more about "Macbeth" or upcoming M-CHS performances.

Get well soon Shump, Ima ****in miss him on the court
The insult to injury is almost too tough to comprehend.....Pray Shumpert comes back from this and excels....and we don't have to watch Faried beast it up -- for the ****ing Nuggets no less -- while Old Man Stat creeks around on increasingly gimp knees over the next 3 seasons....
Best of luck to Shump; let's hope his physical freakishness and a successful surgery don't rob him of any more of his NBA future.
What's scary is this happened without apparent warning......... I don't know if different training could have helped avoid it, but I do think some teams need to investigate the training regimens of other teams who seem to be immune to such mishap...... Most notably the Lakers.
If the meniscus, cartilage or MCL were injured too (which can happen when tearing your ACL) we're looking at 8-12 months.
Let's hope it's 'just' a torn ACL with no colleteral damage, which is bad enough, especially for a young and athletic guard like Shump.
With a close to perfect rehabilitation, good nutrition and a well-executed surgery he should be able to regain his pre-injury shape, but that will take time. You can add another 2-3 months to the 6-8 until he's in full game shape again.
I just hope everything goes well for him. Great young player who deserves a career.
I know this is unfair, but I wish this would have happened to Lebron's flopping ass.
Damn he had such a bright future. Good chance he will never be the same player.

Brief exposure to nicotine makes lasting mark on the brain
By usurping a mechanism responsible for learning and memory, low levels of nicotine can quickly cause lasting changes in the brain's reward areas. This enduring "memory trace" amplifies the pleasing effects of nicotine and the desire to repeat the exposure. The finding suggests new targets for addiction-blocking drugs.

on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendor,

like dew from the morning's womb.[b]

and will not change his mind:
"You are a priest forever,

5 The Lord is at your right hand[c];
he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.
6 He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead
and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.
7 He will drink from a brook along the way,[d]
and so he will lift his head high.
1 Praise the Lord.[f]
I will extol the Lord with all my heart
in the council of the upright and in the assembly.
2 Great are the works of the Lord;
they are pondered by all who delight in them.
3 Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
and his righteousness endures forever.
4 He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and compassionate.

he remembers his covenant forever.
6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
giving them the lands of other nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy.
8 They are established for ever and ever,

holy and awesome is his name.

they will gnash their teeth and waste away;
the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
5 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father's wife. 2 And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this? 3 For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this. 4 So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,[a][b] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? 7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[c] but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked person from among you."[d]

It's weird. We've won but I think I yet have to realize we made it to the final... at the beginning of the tournament I could hardly see us making it through our group, but not because of lack of quality but rather because I thought that we were not mentally concentrated... and boy they proved me wrong, it's like the team is improving from game to game.
One thing I'd like to mention though, everybody is obviously talking about Pirlo's great performances so far, but what's making the difference in the last two games is the perfomance of Marchisio and De Rossi. They've been marvelous, they're everywhere on the pitch both when defending and when going forward, they're precise and clean, good positioning... I was expecting Marchisio to be super tired after the monstruous season he had with Juventus but he still managed to find the energies to perform this well.
And now we're in the final.
Still, I'd rather stay level-headed and say that Spain is still the hot favourite and we're still the underdogs even if we did draw against them in the group stage.
if you don't mind my 2 cents about Germany's tactical approach to the game, Löw's biggest mistake was to use Kroos on the right. I do understand that the man has good passing skills but he would have never been a threat with Chiellini playing on that side of the field. Reus should have played from the very beginning, and maybe even Muller rather than Podolski.

I absolutely agree with you - fielding Podolski was a huge mistake, and so was fielding Gomez. Kroos - ah well. I didn't expect much of him, so my disappointment is limited. But leaving Reus out was disastrous. Remember the first 5-10 minutes in the second half, when Germany managed to create several chances, cutting through the Italian defense, before your coach plugged the holes via substitutions? THIS is what we should have done right from minute 1.
Other than that, you guys played a great game. When Italy doesn't want someone to score, you know how to prevent it. And your play out of the defense was swift and sweet. You absolutely deserved the victory. Now get on the pitch and win the finals, you hear me? This semifinal was fun to watch, with lots of chances. Rescue the Euro from Tiki-Taka boredom.

Scoring against Spain is going to be super tough, Spain has gotten really good at defending and the midfielders help out a lot.
I wonder if Prandelli will go back to the 3-5-2 formation he used in the group stage match or if he'll stick with the current 4-3-1-2 one.
On one hand having five midfielders keeping the team's barycenter high is good if we want to force Spain to play their passing game far away from the penalty area, on the other hand it's a gamble because the flanks get easily exposed against fast players and Spain does have good wingers (Iniesta, Jesus Navas). I guess Prandelli will confirm the 4-3-1-2 in the end, given the fact that Abate is injured. Whoever our trequartista will be (probably Montolivo again) he'll have to give 150% in switching from attacking to defending back and forth because Marchisio-Pirlo-De Rossi alone might not be enough to keep Spain's midfield under control...

Spain has some good wingers but still they rarely have width. Silva and Iniesta likes to move inside. Most of their attacks go down center.
I rather like the 3-5-2 setup as it reinforces the center-backs with an additional player, De Rossi sort of played as a classic libero. Which helps against Silva who likes to drift in between the lines.
Pressure will be on the wing backs to track the Spanish fullbacks, Alba and Arbeloa. On the other hand it also forces the Spanish wingers to do more defensive work. Fatigue could be decisive in this match, and clever substitutions.
Del Bosque is a bit predictable in his substitutions. He usually waits till the second half to bring in a true winger for crosses when the usual frontal assault bears no fruit. Curious if he starts Fabregas or a real center forward.

Well if it's going to be a 3-5-2 setup then with Chiellini recovered De Rossi won't have to play as libero. It'll basically be Juventus' 3-men defense with Barzagli-Bonucci-Chiellini. There's still the issue on who to use on the right flank of the 5-men midfield though... Maggio is good at pushing forward but not as good at defending...
It's really complicated, whether it's going be one formation or the other it's going to be a bet depending on Spain's setup.

I'd be completely caught of guard if Spain switched much around. My guess is Torres or Fabregas will be the only question. Will that affect the overall game much?
A 4-3-1-2 / 4-4-2 diamond will always leave at least one full back free to move up. Today that went okay as Boateng didn't bring much going forward, but I'd rather not allow Alba to run amok.
Maggio going forward would force Alba to back-track more often at the expense of his offensive game.

Spain does not play with a lot of width, and their left back never advances. So the main drawback of 3-5-2, its weak wings, will be less of an issue. Also since Spain attacks (well sort of), it does so with 7 players very close to each other, so Italy will have the numerical advantage, while playing with two forwards. Also a packed midfield will make Spain's passing game harder to disorganize the defense, particularly if Italy uses a sweeper.
All these of course on paper. Today I could not imagine how Germany could possibly lose

At the end of the day I suppose Prandelli will pick the formation based on the fitness of the whole team... both formations require specific roles to work/run more than usual.
Personally with a 100% phisically fit team I would pick 3-5-2 as it would be a more offensive setup, but seeing that our wingers are not entirely fit... I suppose in the end it'll be 4-3-1-2.
Besides, all this tactical speculation usually becomes pretty useless when a team reaches a final: it's that kind of match where anything can happen and fine tacticisms might not make that much of a difference.

4-4-2/diamond would be a very offensive approach to the match, sending two players in each wing, at the cost of a weaker centre. I don't think that would be a wise approach to counter Spain's passing game, since it will give them more space, time and chances to draw the defense out of position.

Eh, that's not how 4-4-2 diamond/4-3-1-2 works.
Italy's midfield is very narrow and there are no real wingers. They have numbers in the middle, and they are all comfortable on the ball and pass well. The width is provided by fullbacks and somewhat compensated by forwards drifting to wide positions. Cassano and Balotelli are both very good with their movement in this respect.
There is almost no chance of seeing the 3-5-2 again. The 4-3-1-2 works very well for them. And against Spain, packing the middle is a sensible tactic, as Silva and Iniesta both naturally like to come inside. The width is provided by Arbeloa and Alba. The former is hardly a threat going forward, but Alba's overlapping run can be the key to unlock the Italian defence. The supersubs Navas and Pedro will look to stretch play as well.

I disagree, the third centre back as sweeper/libero will benefit in defending against Spain's version of total football. 4-4-2/diamond will use a defensive midfielder that will have to maintain his position, while the attacking midfielder in the top of the diamond can hardly contribute defensively, unless Italy goes suicidal and tries to press on the first pass.
Also the width of 4-4-2/diamond can be wide (definitely that won't happen) or narrow. With a narrow deployment certainly they will be able to defend better, but won't get any advantage over deploying a 3-5-2, which offensively can be much more dangerous in a counter-attack, especially given Spain's defensive weaknesses.

People need to stop talking about the "defensive weakness" of Spain. They have only conceded one goal so far this tournament.
The advantage of 4-3-1-2 over 3-5-2 is the extra midfielder in the centre of the pitch. It helps Italy keeping possession in that zone and make it harder for Xavi and Alonso to dictate play. And Spain tends to be narrow as well (before Navas comes in) and that suits Italy's narrow midfield. With 3-5-2 you have 3 central midfielders against Spain's 3 (Alonso, Xavi, Busquets), and all is even in that area.
The disadvantage of the 4-3-1-2 is that no one naturally guards the opponent's fullbacks. Arbeloa is not much of a danger, but Jordi Alba is a real threat going forward. Marchisio will have to shift over and help Abate/Balzaretti and perhaps Montolivo will have to drop back in line with the other 3. But on the flip side, Cassano and Balotelli have been very good at exploiting the space behind attacking fullbacks, and Pirlo has the killer pass to make best use of that.
Italy's 4-3-1-2 is also less rigid than other 4-3-1-2. Pirlo in theory is the deepest midfielder, but he has freedom to move forward, knowing that De Rossi and Marchisio will cover the space. Montolivo's instinct is not to stay close to the forwards, but to drop closer to the midfield 3, and he contributed a lot defensively against Germany.

CAIRO (AP) — For all the self-congratulatory headlines in Egypt's pro-military media, the results of last week's constitutional referendum may have fallen short of the emphatic popular mandate the nation's military chief was looking for before announcing his presidential run.
Moreover, the outcome — nearly everyone who cast a ballot approved the draft constitution, but turnout was low, at less than 39 percent — has put on display the country's enduring divisions six months after the ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi and nearly three years after autocrat Hosni Mubarak was overthrown.
Another worrying aspect is that young Egyptians appear to have stayed away from the polls, probably because of frustration over the lack of real change and anger over the perceived return of Mubarak-era figures, along with such hated practices as police brutality and other heavy-handed tactics by security agencies.
The 98.1 percent "yes" vote cannot be seen as an accurate reflection of public opinion in "a country as big and as complex and divided as Egypt," said Khaled Fahmy, a political analyst who chairs the history department at the American University in Cairo. "This is a very alarming figure. ... Something has gone very wrong."
Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the military chief who led the July 3 coup that removed Morsi, has yet to say outright whether he will seek the land's highest office. His supporters had viewed the Jan. 14-15 referendum on the new constitution as a vote on the general's possible presidential bid.
The relatively low turnout, however, should be reason for concern for the general and his supporters.
While no one is claiming the vote was rigged or fraudulent, it took place amid a climate of intimidation, with a de facto ban on campaigning for a "no" vote and a media frenzy that projected a "yes" vote as the only way out of the country's deadly turmoil and economic and social ills.
Islamists effectively boycotted the two-day vote, honoring a call by Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood to shun the referendum as a sham. The ultraconservative Salafi party Al-Nour, which sided with el-Sissi against Morsi, also appeared to have failed to rally its supporters for a "yes" vote, reducing the turnout. The party won about 25 percent of the vote in parliamentary elections two years ago.
"Even the most optimistic of el-Sissi's supporters admit that the turnout was less than ideal," analyst Nervana Mahmoud wrote in her blog on Sunday. "Despite aggressive campaigning by state and private media as well as top religious figures and political parties, including the Salafi Al-Nour, the overall turnout failed to reach the desired target of 40 percent or above."
However, Mahmoud contends that the Brotherhood's call for a boycott was effective mostly in peripheral regions to the south and west of Cairo, a trend she said confirmed the group's isolation and loss of support in the densely populated urban areas.
The relatively low turnout, according to three senior officials familiar with the thinking of the military's leadership, suggests the emergence of serious cracks in the el-Sissi-led coalition that led the opposition and eventual removal of Morsi last year. The military, they said, is looking into whether its liberal and secular allies as well as the Salafis did not do enough to get out the vote.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media about the military's deliberations, said the military in the meantime is convinced that el-Sissi cannot let down the nearly 20 million Egyptians who voted "yes."
"The military will not stand on the sidelines while the country is divided and facing challenges at home and abroad," said one of the officials. "Egypt needs a military leader and people want el-Sissi to run."
Since Morsi's ouster, Egypt has faced an insurgency in the strategic Sinai Peninsula by Islamic militants, some with al-Qaida links. In the mainland, Morsi's supporters have been staging almost daily street protests in Cairo and other major cities to demand his reinstatement. The protests often end violently, and there have been growing signs that some of the protesters are armed.
The military-backed government has in the meantime been cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood, jailing thousands of members, including most of its top and mid-level leaders. Morsi himself faces four separate trials, mostly on charges that carry the death penalty.
Egypt's media, which is mostly pro-military, has portrayed the referendum results as favorable to el-Sissi and an endorsement of the roadmap he sponsored: a new constitution followed by presidential and parliamentary elections.
"El-Sissi is the solution," screamed the red banner on Sunday's edition of the daily el-Yum el-Sabea. "The joy of the constitution is complete," said the state-owned el-Gumhorya. "Egypt said 'yes,'" said another state-owned paper, Al-Ahram. "A new constitution for a new era," stated the independent el-Masry el-Youm.
What Egyptians voted on last week was a heavily amended version of a charter drafted by Morsi's Islamist allies and adopted in a nationwide referendum in December 2012. The "yes" vote then was about 64 percent, but turnout was a lowly 33 percent. That vote was half-heartedly boycotted by the opposition, and the low turnout then was seen by the anti-Morsi groups as undermining the legitimacy of the charter.
Still, the fact that twice as many 2012 "yes" voters voted "yes" last week is seen by some as insufficient. Ominously, only 16 percent of Egyptians ages 18 to 30 are said to have voted. That is the segment of the population that served as the engine of the 2011 revolution and the big anti-Morsi demonstrations in June and July last year.
"Many seniors and middle-aged Egyptians are promoting stability and realpolitik, and are willing to accept the repressive measures of the authority in return for having a functional state, in comparison to a substantial portion of the younger generation who are still in the mood for revolution," said Mahmoud, the blogger.
Interim President Adly Mansour, in a televised address to the nation on Sunday night, sought to reassure young Egyptians that they will not be sidelined.
"Continue your march and integrate yourselves in political life," he counseled. "Rest assured that what Egyptians — men, women and the elderly — are striving to build with your help is for you and for your sons. You are the future of the nation."

As the son of a former quarterback at Wake Forest, Trinity Catholic senior Reid Carlton has been drilled for many years on what his father, Andy, calls "the two major responsibilities of the position."
As the son of a former quarterback at Wake Forest, Trinity Catholic senior Reid Carlton has been drilled for many years on what his father, Andy, calls "the two major responsibilities of the position."
Ball control and moving the chains.
Much to Reid's dismay, a third task was added to the list this summer.
Staying patient.
The next passer in line at a program that in recent years has seen John Brantley IV (formerly Florida), Rob Henry (Purdue), Gray Crow (Miami), Jeremiah Gates (Samford) and Joe Little (Valdosta State) direct its offense, Carlton is about to enter his third season under center for the Celtics.
At 6-foot-2, 220 pounds with a big arm, soft touch and above average athleticism, Carlton looks the part of a future college quarterback. And with tutelage coming from his dad and Trinity coach John Brantley III (Florida), Carlton has been taught how to read and adjust to defenses by men who know what it's like to change a play at the line seconds before a blitzing outside linebacker is poised to make that highlight reel hit.
"He's talented, and a lot of our success will ride on his production," said Brantley, who has added more responsibility to Carlton's duty list each year. "We expect a lot out of him."
However, there's not much you can do with those expectations when you're on crutches.
When spring practice began, Carlton said he felt sporadic pain in his left foot. Nothing much, he thought to himself, more bothersome than troubling.
Then, in the Celtics' third practice he took a snap and ran up the middle before falling down. His foot aching, Carlton realized something was really wrong.
A couple weeks later, after seeking the opinions of two doctors, Carlton had surgery to repair a break and a screw was inserted. Suddenly, a summer where he had planned to attend camps, throw multiple times-a-week to his receivers and possibly pick up a few scholarship offers was going to be spent recuperating.
"It was a big drawback," said Carlton, who threw for nearly 1,600 yards and had 21 combined passing and rushing touchdowns for TC (8-4) in 2012. "I really feel like being out hurt me.
"But I realized I had to keep my head up and understand there was nothing I could do about it except stay in the best shape I could and rehab the injury."
Carlton said he lifted weights, threw from his knees and a chair and watched a lot of game tape. However, he wasn't cleared to run until late July, forcing him out of all but three camps — Coastal Carolina, Florida's Friday Night Lights and Brantley's quarterback showcase.
Because he wasn't able to compete side by side against some of the nation's highest-rated passers, Carlton entered August of his senior year with interest from Coastal Carolina, Lehigh, Mercer, Duke and Missouri, among others, but no scholarship offers.
According to Miami Herald state recruiting analyst Larry Blustein, Carlton likely won't have to worry about that for too long.
"He has tremendous ability, and guys like that don't go unnoticed for very long," said Blustein, who has covered recruiting in Florida for close to four decades. "College coaches are going to want to evaluate some of his senior tape before making decisions. They don't just hand out offers based on potential. They want to see something, and because he missed some time he just needs to focus on what's ahead of him.
"I've looked at his junior tape, and it has some very good things in it," Blustein added. "If he doesn't rush things and continues to progress, he'll find a spot somewhere."
Carlton said he has always tried to emulate his football idol, Peyton Manning, by being the most mentally prepared quarterback possible. And now, his foot problems seemingly behind him, Carlton said he wants to prove he's physically ready.
"I feel good," Carlton said. "The game has slowed down for me each season, and I believe I will be at my best this year.
"The goal is always high at Trinity Catholic. Every year, it's winning a state championship. I'm looking forward to showing what I can do to help us work to achieve that."

The state's nine electoral college votes are a prize for both presidential campaigns, and with that comes questions about whether Colorado can handle any possible issues with vote-counting -- or will Colorado be haunted by the Florida ghost of 2000?
Republican Secretary of State Scott Gessler, Colorado's top election chief, acknowledged the heightened scrutiny has put many on edge.
"A lot of people immediately jump to conspiratorial theories when they see something they don't like," Gessler said in a recent interview with The Associated Press.
Democrats and voting rights groups frequently spar with Gessler over issues ranging from campaign finance, his searches for non-citizens illegally registered to vote and problems with his website registering people to vote.
Gessler has become one of the most closely watched election officials in the country, and he knows that, saying that Ohio's Jon Husted is probably the only other election chief who gets more attention.
Already, Gessler's office has begun to field calls from media outlets around the country and abroad. The Weather Channel has also called asking how the state is preparing if bad weather strikes around Election Day.
State officials have been preparing for more than a year, and election staff has come up with responses for dozens of scenarios, he said.
For example, the state has built a backup for its Statewide Colorado Registration and Election system, which county clerks use to track votes on Election Day.
If there's bad weather, voters could be allowed to fax their ballots, much like they did during wildfires in El Paso County during the June primaries. There are also backup voting centers in case snow causes closures.
And then there's early voting. By the time Election Day rolls around, Gessler's office expects that about 80 percent of the vote will be in, if historical trends hold.
"It takes a lot of pressure off Election Day itself as far as the administration," Gessler said about early voting. "You don't have as many people at the polling places."
Gessler said there are always things that could go wrong, such as a voting machine malfunctioning. That happened in one instance during early voting in Mesa County: someone's vote for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney showed up as a vote for President Barack Obama. That machine was removed from the county.
"As far as any systemic breakdowns or things along those lines, I'm not real worried about it," Gessler said, adding that because each county is operating individually, any major problem will be limited to the county.
In Arapahoe County, mail ballots were sent with an "I Voted" sticker that bled into ballots, leaving a faint mark where people choose their candidates. The county clerk did tests and found that machines read the ballots correctly. Still, that has made Democrats nervous because Arapahoe County is considered a swing county.
In early October, some clerks with the Colorado County Clerks Association wrote a letter criticizing Gessler on a variety of issues on election preparations.
"Recent errors and oversights have created a cumbersome list of issues for local officials," the clerks wrote.
One complaint cited software that lets people register to vote online with mobile devices, such as smartphones and iPads. Because of a software glitch, Gessler's office said nearly 800 voter registrations submitted through mobile devices in September may have not gone through.
Gessler said voters who were impacted can still vote on Election Day via provisional ballots. He said he doesn't think the issues some of the clerks raised can cause any significant problems.

Best-picture write-in candidate "That's My Boy" and its star, Adam Sandler, received Oscars last night in what must be considered the most shocking night in Academy Awards history.
Best-picture write-in candidate "That's My Boy" and its star, Adam Sandler, received Oscars last night in what must be considered the most shocking night in Academy Awards history.
The announcements from the stage were greeted with a mixture of boos and maniacal cackles from the Hollywood elite, who, like most observers, appeared certain that "Argo" and Daniel Day-Lewis would win the trophies for best picture and best actor, respectively, instead.
Can you imagine? No, I can't either, and not just because the above scenario is so absurd. I simply can't imagine the Oscars offering much in the way of surprise — not with all of the award ceremonies (Golden Globes, SAGs, etc.) that precede it.
This year some of the major categories are a bit foggy. It's not entirely clear who will win the best supporting actor or best director. But the other four top contests seem all but sewn up.
And will the best nominees win? In some cases, yes; in others, maybe; and in some, no.
Here's how I rate the candidates, in descending order from most deserving of victory, plus my predictions on which nominees will win.
1. "Les Miserables"
2. "Amour"
3. "Lincoln"
4. "Zero Dark Thirty"
5. "Life of Pi"
6. "Argo"
7. "Django Unchained"
8. "Beasts of the Southern Wild"
9. "Silver Linings Playbook"
If "Les Miserables" doesn't win, and there's no reason to think it will, then I honestly don't care which film gets the award. "Les Miserables" ranked No. 1 on my Top 10 for 2013, with the unacknowledged (in the major categories) "Anna Karenina" No. 2, because both had the emotional and intellectual power of fine literature.
Perhaps because "Les Miz" so unabashedly wears its heart on its sleeve, however, it's been open to some ridicule, and the critical reaction to it has been mixed. Meanwhile, the second-best choice among the nominees, "Amour," about an elderly couple dealing with failing mental and physical health, is too austere, too true to life, to gain favor with most voters. Besides, it's in French.
"Argo" has the edge here. "Zero Dark Thirty" and, perhaps, "Lincoln" did at one time, but momentum is everything in this race, and "Argo"
has been winning everything in sight as of late. What makes this strange is that Ben Affleck, who won the Directors Guild Award for "Argo," wasn't nominated for the Oscar. Go figure.
My favorite: "Les Miserables."
My prediction: "Argo."
1. Daniel Day-Lewis, "Lincoln"
2. Hugh Jackman, "Les Miserables"
3. Joaquin Phoenix, "The Master"
4. Denzel Washington, "Flight."
5. Bradley Cooper, "Silver Linings Playbook"
Day-Lewis will win, and he probably should, for his extraordinary portrayal of Lincoln. He so inhabits the role that it's nearly impossible to see the actor there — and not just because of the makeup. My heart does go out to Jackman, though, who not only pours out emotion through his acting, but has to sing at the same time. I don't like ties, at all, but in this case I wish there could be one.
My favorite: Daniel Day-Lewis.
My prediction: Daniel Day-Lewis.
1. Jennifer Lawrence, "Silver Linings Playbook"
2. Emmanuelle Riva, "Amour"
3. Jessica Chastain, "Zero Dark Thirty"
4. Naomi Watts, "The Impossible"
5. Quvenzhane Wallis, "Beasts of the Southern Wild"
I've gone back and forth between Lawrence and Riva, as far as who I'd like to win. They're very different performances: Lawrence plays a troubled, but brave and charismatic underdog. She makes her character easy to like, and that's a big reason why she's probably going to win. Riva's performance as a dying woman is subtler, more exquisite. For me, it's a coin toss. For academy voters, I don't think it will be.
My favorite: Jennifer Lawrence.
My prediction: Jennifer Lawrence.
1. Christoph Waltz, "Django Unchained"
2. Philip Seymour Hoffman, "The Master"
3. Tommy Lee Jones, "Lincoln"
4. Alan Arkin, "Argo"
5. Robert De Niro, "Silver Linings Playbook"
Waltz is flat-out hilarious as a suave German dentist-turned-bounty-hunter in Quentin Tarantino's "Django." He dominates the film, which wouldn't be close to as good without him. He might win, too, though Jones won the Screen Actors Guild Award and has a crowd-pleasing role as a flamboyant senator fighting to end slavery in "Lincoln."
My favorite: Christoph Waltz.
My prediction: Tommy Lee Jones.
1. Anne Hathaway, "Les Miserables"
2. Sally Field, "Lincoln"
3. Helen Hunt, "The Sessions"
4. Amy Adams, "The Master"
5. Jacki Weaver, "Silver Linings Playbook"
Any other year and Field would win for her spirited performance as Mary Todd Lincoln. But watch a clip of Hathaway singing "I Dreamed a Dream" and you'll know why this pick is a no-brainer.
My favorite: Anne Hathaway.
My prediction: Anne Hathaway.
1. Michael Haneke, "Amour"
2. Steven Spielberg, "Lincoln"
3. Ang Lee, "Life of Pi"
4. Benh Zeitlin, "Beasts of the Southern Wild"
5. David O. Russell, "Silver Linings Playbook."
Tom Hooper for "Les Miserables," of course. Oh, wait. Not nominated. Sigh. With Affleck out of the picture, this one's no sure thing, but Spielberg will probably get the nod — though Lee or Russell could pull an upset.
My favorite: Michael Haneke.
My prediction: Steven Spielberg.

Kissing Camel Boone collection
David Hall: A mere 2,004 1935-S with the "small 1934" Boones were minted and distributed. Though the subject of controversy at the time of issue (see the narrative for the 1935-D small 1934, coin #9263), the fact is that this is one of the lowest mintage silver commemoratives and indeed one of the lowest mintage regular strike United States coins of the 20th century. Virtually the entire mintage was saved at the time of issue and this coin is fairly easy to find in MS64 thru MS 66 condition. The 1935-S small 1934 is rarer than the 1935-D small 1934 in MS65 and MS66 condition, and in MS67 condition, the 1935-S small 1934 is rare. Most examples have semi-frosty satin like surfaces and they usually have good eye appeal.

Yoo Hoo, It's Pinky Lee!
By: Linnea Crowther
5 years ago
Do you remember Pinky Lee? Depending on your age, you might:
1. Recall Pinky Lee as a beloved children's television host, right up there with Howdy Doody and Captain Kangaroo.
2. Wonder what the heck Rizzo is talking about in Grease when she disses Kenickie with a milkshake to the face while saying "To you from me, Pinky Lee!"
3. Think "Wasn't she that teen star married to Bobby Darin?"
4. Assume Pinky Lee was a character on that season of The Sopranos that you missed.
5. Give up on guessing and go straight to Google.
No matter which of these applies to you, we challenge you to watch this clip of Lee, who died April 23, 1993, and not be amazed and delighted.
Born Pincus Leff in St. Paul, Minn., vaudevillian Lee took the concept of high energy to a whole new level. Indeed, once when he collapsed on stage while fighting off an infection, both the audience and the show's producers – knowing about his wacky antics – assumed it was an ad-libbed pratfall. There was quite a long pause before anyone realized something was actually wrong.
Lee had to take time off from performing after the health scare, but that didn't reduce his great influence. Readers of a younger generation may see a hint of Lee in the hijinks of another famous kids' show host, Pee Wee Herman.
It's no secret that Paul Reubens took inspiration from Lee when he crafted the goofy Pee Wee character. And plenty of other irreverent children's TV shows of the past six decades owe much to Lee as well. What he created in the very early days of television was a template for the kind of programming kids really like to watch. A little bit of learning… and a whole lot of fun.
