Havelock police are trying to piece together the events that resulted in a shooting death Saturday morning.
Havelock police are trying to piece together the events that resulted in a shooting death Saturday morning at the Kelly Park Apartment complex on Shipman Road.
Demetri Shavar Berry, 28, died Saturday afternoon at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville. He was shot once in the lower chest/upper abdomen area at around 10:24 a.m. Saturday at the complex, Havelock Police Chief G. Wayne Cyrus said.
When police arrived at the scene, Berry was initially responsive at the foot of the first floor foyer area in front of apartment L-4, but Cyrus said Berry did not live in that apartment.
Cyrus said police are seeking a suspect but described him only as a black male.
He also said Berry�s death had not been classified as a homicide, as the investigation is continuing.
�We don�t know if it�s a murder yet,� Cyrus said. �We don�t know all the facts. We�re still going over the information provided by the witnesses. We�re not at a point yet to say that we have a murder.�
He said about a dozen witnesses had been interviewed.
�We�re still seeking information from witnesses, so hopefully we will be able to determine all those facts once we interview all those parties involved,� he said. �All that�s going to come out later. We�re still in the process of locating witnesses and looking for the alleged shooter. Once we have all those processes complete, we will be presenting all that to the district attorney to make a determination as to how to proceed from here. We haven�t finished with it, so we have not yet determined that we have a homicide.�
Cyrus said the exact weapon used in the shooting also isn�t known.
�We believe at this point it was a handgun but I do not know the caliber,� he said.
Asked if Berry was armed at the time of the shooting, Cyrus refused to say.
�That�s a question you�ll have answered later. I�m not going to put out information or speculate on anything right now,� Cyrus said. �I don�t want anyone jumping to any conclusions. I don�t want misinformation being put out there.
�We haven�t determined all of the facts and circumstances yet, so it�s too early to determine how to categorize it. We�re exploring all possibilities. The result of the incident was that Mr. Berry was shot one time and passed as a result of the gun shot. We haven�t released anything regarding the circumstances nor will we until we can get everything together and present that to the district attorney.�
On Monday, police responded back to the apartment complex and left with a person of interest in the case. That person was not in handcuffs.
�We had received information that indicated that a person we were interested in locating was at the apartment building so we responded units over there to determine whether that information was factual or not,� Cyrus said. �He was a person of interest who we were looking for. I�m not going to identify him as a suspect because we have not yet completed the interviews.�
Cyrus said Berry had a fianc� in the area and that his father was in the military and serving overseas. He said arrangements were being made for Berry�s father to return the United States.
At the time of his death, Berry was on probation for a Sept. 8, 2011, conviction of possession of a firearm by a felon and felony possession of marijuana, according to the N.C. Department of Corrections website.
Anyone with more information on the shooting can contact the Havelock Police Department at 447-3212. Those wishing to leave an anonymous tip can call 467-7115 or go online to www.havelocknc.us.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) December 05, 2013
Heart disease triples a person's risk of depression. At the same time, people who have from depression are at greatly increased risk of heart disease. Untreated depression makes it more likely that a person will die of heart disease, yet it's often overlooked, reports the December 2013 Harvard Heart Letter.
Depression is just as treatable in people with heart disease as it is in the general population. But it doesn't go away all by itself. Getting treatment means learning the warning signs and, if they appear, finding out from your doctor what they mean.
How do you know if you're depressed? "A person who has a major heart event has ups and downs of energy and mood," says Dr. Jeffery C. Huffman, associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. "But those who feel mostly bad for most of the day for weeks or months, who lose the ability to enjoy life, these are the people we are talking about."
There are a number of good treatments for depression, and having heart disease does not make treatment more difficult.
Treatments include:
Antidepressants. Most are safe to take with most heart medications. Sertraline (Zoloft ) has been studied extensively in people with heart conditions and, like other antidepressants in its class, it's been shown to be both safe and effective.
Psychotherapy. Several kinds of therapy are effective. "There are no side effects from psychotherapy, it can be individualized, and people can be taught new skills to battle depression—not just now, but in the future," says Dr. Huffman.
Exercise. An exercise program may be effective as an antidepressant in relieving symptoms of depression. This is a double benefit for people with heart disease because exercise helps both the heart and the mind.
Cardiac rehabilitation. In addition to a structured exercise program, cardiac rehab programs offer social support. Interacting with people in the same boat you're in as part of a cardiac rehab program can provide a mental and emotional boost.

The Primary Endpoint for this study was to compare the progression-free survival of letrozole therapy alone with the combination of letrozole therapy plus bevacizumab as first-line treatment in women with estrogen- and/or progesterone-receptor-positive advanced breast cancer. Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization until disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. The median PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Progression was assessed per RECIST criteria, and defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions from baseline or the appearance of new lesions.

|Endocrine Therapy With or Without Anti-VEGF Therapy: A Randomized, Phase III Trial of Endocrine Therapy Alone or Endocrine Therapy Plus Bevacizumab (NSC 704865) for Women With Hormone Receptor-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer
|Brief Summary
|This randomized phase III trial studies tamoxifen citrate or letrozole together with bevacizumab to see how well it works compared with tamoxifen citrate or letrozole alone in treating women with stage IIIB or stage IV breast cancer. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen citrate* or letrozole may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may help control breast cancer by stopping the growth of blood vessels to the tumor. It is not yet known whether giving hormone therapy is more effective with or without bevacizumab in treating advanced breast cancer.
|Detailed Description
I. To compare the progression-free survival of letrozole therapy alone with the combination of letrozole therapy plus bevacizumab as first-line treatment in women with estrogen- and/or progesterone-receptor-positive advanced breast cancer.
I. To compare the proportion of patients receiving letrozole alone, who remain progression-free at 6 and 12 months, to those receiving letrozole plus bevacizumab.
II. To compare the incidence of objective response (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) in patients receiving letrozole with and without bevacizumab, as determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria, excluding patients with non-measurable disease.
III. To compare the incidence of clinical benefit (CR + PR + stable disease >= 6 months) in patients receiving letrozole with and without bevacizumab.
IV. To compare the duration of objective response in patients receiving letrozole with and without bevacizumab.
V. To compare the time to treatment failure in patients receiving letrozole with and without bevacizumab; time to treatment failure is defined as the interval from randomization until progression, toxicity, withdrawn consent or going onto non-protocol therapy.
VI. To compare the overall survival of patients receiving letrozole with and without bevacizumab, including the probability of survival until 36 months.
V. To compare toxicity levels between the bevacizumab arm and the arm without bevacizumab in both the letrozole-treated patients and in the tamoxifen-treated patients.
VI. To compare progression-free survival and overall survival of all patients receiving endocrine therapy with and without bevacizumab (by combining both letrozole and tamoxifen* patient subgroups).
I. To compare baseline and changes in serial levels of circulating endothelial cells and circulating tumor cells in patients treated with endocrine therapy alone or endocrine therapy plus bevacizumab, and to explore the relationship of these markers with progression free survival.
II. To conduct proteomic analysis of longitudinal samples from patients with advanced-stage disease undergoing hormonal therapy to define new serum-based biomarkers related to disease activity.
III. To identify biologic correlates that will predict progression-free survival (PFS) and response to therapy.
IV. To conduct pharmacogenomic assessment of candidate variants in the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), cytochrome P450 system (CYP) family 2, subfamily D, polypeptide 6 (2D6), and CYP family 19 (CYP19) genes and evaluate their association with PFS and other study outcomes.
V. To identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with progression free survival in the genome-wide approach (GWAS).
VI. To identify factors other than chronological age that predict the risk of grade 3, 4 or 5 toxicity with bevacizumab and endocrine therapy by means of functional age assessment measures; the factors to be studied include: functional status, comorbid medical conditions, cognitive function, psychological state, social support and nutritional status.
VII. To perform an exploratory analysis of the ability of the other factors included in the functional age assessment (either individual or in combination), to predict the risk of grade 3, 4 or 5 toxicity.
VIII. To evaluate longitudinal changes in the parameters of the factors described in objective VI while on therapy.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
NOTE: The placebo-controlled portion of the study was canceled on 5-15-10.
ARM I: Patients receive endocrine therapy* (tamoxifen citrate or letrozole) orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 and bevacizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II: Patients receive endocrine therapy* (tamoxifen citrate or letrozole) PO QD on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 6 months for the first 2 years and then annually for up to 3 years.
* NOTE: As of 5/15/2011, patients only receive letrozole.

Getting Involved in freedesktop.org
freedesktop.org is always looking for more involvement. Remember that freedesktop.org is a project for developers interested in working on shared desktop code, specifications, or documentation.
Mailing Lists
If you're interested in working on specifications, the best way to get started is to join our mailing list; mail email@example.com with the word "subscribe" in the subject of your email. xdg-list has archives and on-the-web subscription here.
For other mailing lists and archives, go here.
Again, because this is important: XDG is not a diplomacy project, we want to actually work on specifications rather than discussing what the specifications could contain. Whenever possible, discussion on xdg should focus on a concrete draft specification or existing code. It's best to post a draft of a document, or go ahead and code something up, rather than asking for comments on an abstract topic.
For general freedesktop.org discussion, please mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Source Code: Subversion
A few FD.o projects use Subversion as their revision control system. Developer access is possible using svn+ssh://$firstname.lastname@example.com/svn/$project. And then there's WebSVN, too. TODO: is there anonsvn available at all?
Source Code: Git
Most FD.o projects have been moved to the git revision control system. See UsingGit for more information on using git.
Read-only Git repositories are hosted at git://git.freedesktop.org, browsable online using cgit. Each project may create a repository on git.freedesktop.org in
/srv/git.freedesktop.org using
GIT_DIR=/srv/git.freedesktop.org/{project}.git git init-db and then they can push commits to that tree with git push.
Source Code: CVS
Anonymous CVS is available from:

cvs -d:pserver:email@example.com:/cvs/<project> co <module>
You can browse the modules via web at http://webcvs.freedesktop.org.
Beware: for projects that have moved to git, the source code in CVS is out of date.
CVS commits can be monitored on a per-project basis. See the project's page for more info.
See UsingCvs for help with developer CVS access. Check out the MAINTAINERS list for information about which lists or which people to contact about a given piece of software.
If you have some code that may be of cross-desktop interest, we're happy to host it on our CVS server, and you may want to bring it up for discussion on xdg-list. Mail the fd.o admins with requests for CVS access; be sure to include a pointer to the work you want to put in CVS.

page story. Kennedy Night Coverage, the Morning After: "Liberal
Night" Issues Downplayed in Favor of Nostalgia
Rep. Harold Ford,
Jr.'s post-prime time "keynote address" was ignored by the
broadcast networks and MSNBC last night, a blackout that was continued by
the networks this morning. Instead, they highlighted Caroline Kennedy
Schlossberg's convention speech, an excuse to reprise the syrupy Kennedy
hagiography of last summer.
"Here in Los
Angeles, Caroline Kennedy stirs the echoes and rekindles Camelot with
memories of her father," ABC's Charles Gibson waxed at the start of
Good Morning America, dropping her married name. "There were tears in
the eyes of a lot of the delegates," his partner Diane Sawyer
"Last night's
was a carefully-put-together program designed...to convince liberal
Democrats that they have nothing to fear despite Al Gore's move to the
center with his choice of Joe Lieberman," explained NBC's Claire
Shipman on Today, "and who better to deliver that message than the
Mrs. Schlossberg's
speech last night included liberal calls for action on abortion, civil
rights, the environment, and gun control, but this morning reporters acted
as if it were nothing but a nonpartisan trip down Memory Lane. "It
was Caroline Kennedy who provided the heart," asserted ABC's Linda
Douglass. "She is the repository of the family legacy, the embodiment
of her father's ideal that the government can solve problems."
Douglass was
the most sugary of all. In a pre-taped interview with both Schlossberg and
her uncle Ted Kennedy, she told the Senator he was "such a towering
figure," and asked of Schlossberg, "Do you feel, ever, a sort of
burden of having to carry on the mantle of the family legacy, the burden
of being such a symbol of your family?"
And, as
seems required of all interviews with the Kennedy cousins who have yet to
thrust themselves on the public, Douglass asked, "Do you ever
consider going into politics yourself?" Of course, endorsing Al Gore
at a Democratic convention is a non-partisan act.
Story on top half of page two. Jackson's Rousing "Rhetorical
Flourish": Dick Cheney Threw "Anti-Democratic...Red Meat"
ABC's Charles Gibson
recalled today that two weeks ago Dick Cheney "threw red meat to the
delegates, and had a very anti-Democratic speech." But Jesse
Jackson's quadrennial Republican-bashing tirade was described by Gibson
this morning as a plus: "Jesse Jackson, as always, provided the
rhetorical flourish."
On Today, NBC's
Matt Lauer claimed, "Jesse Jackson raised the roof on this convention
hall with a podium-pounding speech that went right after George W.
Bush." Jackson was shown: "Papa Bush gave us Clarence Thomas.
Baby Bush gave us an end to affirmative action and women's right to
self-determination in Florida. George W. won't stand against, or for
hate-crimes legislation. I say, America, stay out the Bushes! Stay out the
Bushes!" Lauer cooed: "He does have a way with words."
Jackson's claim that the
words "Africa" and "AIDS" never came up at the GOP
convention was rebutted by Republicans. Patricia Funderburk Ware,
president of a nonprofit group that focuses on the African American family
-- devoted her entire speech to the AIDS epidemic. Governor Bush advisor
Condoleezza Rice referred to Africa in a speech about foreign policy. But
Jackson's speeches are never reviewed for accuracy or negativity.
Story on bottom half of page two. Joe's "Been Down the Line With
Liberals": ABC's Stephanopoulos Reassures Democrats About Lieberman
Senator Joe Lieberman,
with a 95 percent liberal rating from Americans for Democratic Action and
a zero from the American Conservative Union, is so far to the right he
frightens the Democratic base, at least according to some network
Last night's
"program [was] designed to reassure the party faithful, to convince
liberal Democrats that they have nothing to fear despite Al Gore's move to
the center with his choice of Joe Lieberman," NBC's Claire Shipman
told Today viewers. "Earlier in the day, Lieberman met with the
Congressional Black Caucus, to ease concerns about some of his
conservative positions." On MSNBC last evening, Andrea Mitchell
similarly fretted to Bill Richardson, "You worry that he might be too
But the notion that
Lieberman is a conservative (let alone "too conservative") was
debunked by none other than former Clinton aide and ABC Political Analyst
George Stephanopoulos, who said this morning that "liberals like him
because he's got a liberal heart. He marched in the civil rights struggles
in 1960. He's been down the line with liberals on a woman's right to
choose, consumer issues, environmental issues." Admitting that
Lieberman "strayed from the liberal orthodoxy at times on issues like
affirmative action, vouchers in public schools," Stephanopoulos
nonetheless argued that Lieberman has "spent a lot of time at this
convention, going to the Black Caucus yesterday, calling the heads of the
teachers' union, reassuring them he's on Al Gore's team on those issues,
and they've come away happy."
Page three article. Republican Warriors, Democratic Victims: Mrs. Cheney
Pushed Politically, Mrs. Lieberman Emotionally
Tonight, Hadassah
Lieberman will take her first steps on the national stage to introduce her
husband, the vice presidential nominee. But ABC and CBS sympathetically
introduced her this morning in a very different way than they introduced
Lynne Cheney two weeks ago.
Two weeks ago, Jane
Clayson was the only one of the morning anchors that stuck to personal
questions instead of poking at Cheney as a "right-wing warrior."
This morning, Bryant Gumbel presented Mrs. Lieberman as a victim.
-- "Those Americans
that have been victimized by discrimination. I count you among them, I
count myself among them, know how intolerant some Americans can be. How
big a role do you think your husband's religion, his ethnicity will play
with voters?" Boy, we should all get $5 million a year. What
victimization? Is he still mad NBC didn't let him interview O.J.?
-- Gumbel asked if she
shared her husband's views "about the portrayal of sex and violence
in TV and movies?" When she said yes, he followed up: "I ask the
question because this ticket has put a premium on what's called 'family
values,' which for a long time as you know was a code word for
intolerance. Need people be concerned about a hard turn to the social
right in the Democratic Party?"
On ABC, co-host Charles
Gibson promised "a very emotional interview" with Mrs.
Lieberman, a woman with "an extraordinary background." He
introduced an interview with "one of the more intriguing new
figures" at the convention, in which Jack Ford asked only one
political question:
-- "Senator
Lieberman has always been known for being independent, strong-minded,
willing to say what he believes regardless of the circumstances. Those are
not necessarily the characteristics that you see in a job description for
the job of Vice President. Is that going to create some frustrations, do
you think, for the Senator?"
Ford explained that Mrs.
Lieberman's parents survived the Holocaust, and her mother recorded an
interview with Steven Spielberg's Shoah Foundation, which preserves the
testimony of survivors. Ford asked, "What do you think when you see
your mother talking about the beating of her own sister?" Then, with
the television set between them, he showed her mother saying through
tears, "The blood was coming, you know, so much, I cannot explain,
that was only the beginning." Then ABC showed Mrs. Lieberman's lips
quivering with emotion, then cut to a more collected Mrs. Lieberman
declaring she would work hard on "making sure it doesn't happen
Lynne Cheney received
none of these "made-for-TV" convention favors. She was live, not
taped and edited. ABC showed no pictures of her as a teenager, as they did
Mrs. Lieberman; showed no pictures of her family, as they did of the
Liebermans. (They showed only daughter Hana, not the other three children

Gibson Stops Short
GMA's Charles Gibson discussed presidential music with
historian Michael Beschloss Wednesday morning. He explained that Bill
Clinton used Fleetwood Mac instead of Elvis, since "they found that
every song they tried to use was about romances gone wrong. They thought
that was a little bit off message."
Gibson reported that
Gore's campaign song is Bachman-Turner Overdrive's '70s hit "You
Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet," and read the first lines: "I met a
devil woman/ She took my heart away/ She said, I had it comin' to me/But I
wanted it that way." Beschloss replied, "A little bit off
message, too."
But Gibson didn't read
the next two lines: "I think that any love is good lovin'/ and so I
took what I could get." That sounds quite a bit like the Democratic
Rocking Joe Lieberman
Joe Lieberman has
officially been designated an interesting person. "Last night, he got
a rock star's reception when he made a surprise appearance at the
convention," asserted CBS's Bryant Gumbel.
The Senator's walk
onto the floor was "one of the most exciting and electric moments so
far of this convention," echoed ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
Lieberman "was mobbed like a rock star on the floor last night,"
declared NBC's Claire Shipman on Today. Watch for Spandex tights and hair
extensions tonight.
More Black-Jewish
Tension In the thick of questioning if America's ready for Joe Lieberman,
the networks avoided the latest outbreak of anti-Semitism this morning.
New York's Daily News reported the Anti-Defamation League lit into the
local black Amsterdam News yesterday for an editorial that suggested
Lieberman was chosen because "Jews from all over the world...will be
sending bundles of money" to the Democrats, wrote Publisher Emeritus
Wilbert Tatum. "If this scenario is the correct one -- and we believe
it is -- America is being sold to the highest bidder." Where was
Celebrating the Left
The Early Show focused on liberals this morning, not
all of them Gore-friendly. Jane Clayson interviewed Ralph Nader and showed
his entire 30-second "witty ad" touting that "getting the
truth" [Nader] into the debates was "priceless." So was
getting his ad aired free on CBS.
CBS's Lisa Birnbach
profiled Rep. Lynn Rivers of Michigan: "In Washington 'frugal' is
Rivers' middle name. She gave back her Congressional pay raise twice and
refuses gifts from lobbyists." She didn't mention Rivers has an
American Conservative Union rating of 11. Birnbach concluded that while
the parties preach inclusion, "Lynn Rivers has spent her career
making sure blue collar middle class Americans are not forgotten in the
political process."

Bangkok: Thailand`s 85-year-old King has left the Bangkok hospital where he lived for the past four years and returned to his seaside palace with the Queen.
King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit travelled by car on Thursday to Klai Kangwon Palace in Hua Hin town, where they lived before the world`s longest-reigning monarch was hospitalised with lung inflammation in September 2009.
Tens of thousands of well-wishers gathered in front of Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok to see the widely revered Bhumibol off. Well-wishers also welcomed him near the royal residence in Hua Hin.
The palace has not indicated whether the move will be permanent.
The 80-year-old Queen was admitted to the same hospital last year after she experienced dizziness and staggered slightly while walking for exercise.

Registration and Title Bulletin - #007-13
Date: March 6, 2013
To: All County Tax Assessor-Collectors
Subject: Electronic Lien Title (ELT) Released to Third Party Change
These documents contain text of correspondence sent by TxDMV to the county tax assessor-collectors, statutory agents who provide vehicle registration and titling services for citizens in Texas. This information is provided to apprise the general public of issues affecting the state's vehicle titling and registration process.
To notify you of a programming change to the ELT system and the way a title is printed following an electronic release of lien to a third party.
Previously, when an electronic release of lien to a third party was received on an active ELT, a paper title was printed in care of (c/o) the third party's name and address in the OWNER field of the title and on the "mail tab." The c/o information was also stored in the owner's name and address portion of the department's Motor Vehicle Record.
In conjunction with the release of RTS 7.1.0, a change has been made to the Electronic Lien Title System that affects the way paper titles are printed following the electronic release of lien to a third party. The change will improve transparency when determining toll and parking violation responsibility and protects third parties from the actions of a previous owner.
When an electronic release of lien to a third party is received, the third party "c/o name and address" information no longer appears in the owner's name and address fields of the department's Motor Vehicle Record or prints on the face of the title. Instead, the c/o information only prints on the mail tab portion of the title document and on page 2 of the Form 500, Electronic Title Lien Release Evidence (sample attached). The Form 500 is immediately placed into title history following an electronic release of lien.
For questions regarding a printed title sent to a third party following an electronic release of lien, please coordinate with your local Regional Service Center to review title history.
If you have questions, please contact your local TxDMV Regional Service Center.

RUMFORD – In the hour before tip-off, Bill Simpson's stress level dropped. A familiar face walked through the doors to the basketball gym at Mountain Valley High in Rumford. A second face appeared. A third.
Simpson reached for his scorebook. It was time to write in the names of the men who would pull on the uniform of Class Acts, a men's basketball team. He had six players, enough to make a substitution during the game and give someone a breather.
Enough to win its first game of the three-day Mountain Valley Rec Basketball Tournament, 100-60 on Friday night. Enough to creep closer to a proud milestone. The victory over a team from Bath calling itself Ship City was No. 1,997 in the history of this so-called franchise.
Class Acts won two more games Saturday. "Hopefully we can reach 2,000 on Sunday," said Simpson. "The rest of my team should be here by then."
He looked at the handful of men around him, each representing a piece of Maine basketball history. For 37 years, Simpson has persuaded dozens of men to put their lives on hold for a tournament weekend, or for a full season of playing basketball with him and more recently, for him.
It started in 1976 in Augusta. Simpson was 18, a Cony High graduate, basketball junkie and already a businessman. He operated Ding-A-Ling Things, which provided services such as basic home security. For a fee, Simpson would watch your house and patrol your neighborhood, reporting suspicious activity to the police.
He asked friends from Cony and nearby Gardiner High to join a basketball team that played in a men's league. The name of his business would be on their shirts. In September 1979 he heard someone say during a lunchtime game at the local YMCA that Kevin Nelson, the University of Maine's star big man, had taken a government job in Augusta.
Simpson immediately raised his hand and called out: Sub! Went downstairs to the locker room and showered. He headed to his office and called every government department or agency in Augusta. You have someone named Kevin Nelson working there?
"He did," said Nelson, whose Foxcroft Academy team played Medomak Valley for the Class B state title in 1975. "He called me out of the blue and took me out to lunch. I had just moved to Augusta."
With Nelson, Ding-A-Ling Things joined the very competitive J.C. Best League in Portland. Twice a week most of the team would crowd into Simpson's 1967 Chevy Belaire and speed down Interstate 95, many times arriving just before tip-off.
Nelson, now living in Portland, only played from 1979-84, but he helped give Simpson and his teammates more credibility. The many players who followed became ambassadors, too. They perpetuated the notion that this team won by sharing the ball and enjoying each other's company off the court.
The team name changed from Ding-A-Ling Things to Tangerine Limo to Class Acts as Simpson grew his business, now a property management company in Portland. The team's personality has stayed the same.
Derek Lovely saw that personality when he played at the University of Southern Maine about 10 years ago. "They scrimmaged us and they played so well together and they had so much fun. I wanted to play for them."
Lovely, who has gained more notoriety as Maine's most eligible bachelor, thanks to Cosmopolitan magazine and reality TV, has played for Simpson the past few seasons. He was in Rumford this weekend. Why? "I love basketball. I love playing with these guys."
Matt Clement, the current version of Kevin Nelson, was in Rumford, leaving his bride of some six months at home. But then, Regina Clement is the sister of Brian Wohl, a Class Acts teammate. She understands. "She'll be here Saturday, don't worry," said Clement, who was invited to the Maine Red Claws' inaugural preseason camp four years ago.
Not so understanding were John Fitts' two former wives. He joined the team in 1981, just out of Cony High. He played off and on for decades, or until two hip replacements curtailed that part of his life. He sat in the bleachers Friday night. "Bill called and asked me to come. He's my friend.
"My wives said I loved basketball more than them."
Fitts didn't deny it.
Doug Roberts, star of the great Rumford teams from the mid-1970s, played for Simpson. So did Rumford's Andy Bedard some 20 years later. Bart Donovan, a Bangor High star and now the father of teenagers attending Deering High, still plays. So does Andrew Duncanson of Portland, who flew to Detroit this weekend for a tryout with a Pro Basketball League team. The list goes on and on.
Players from away, including Jay Brewer, an all-conference selection at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Wash., played for Class Acts. Later he got married in Ireland, where he now lives, and Class Acts was represented at his wedding. Simpson is the godfather of Brewer's daughter. Several Class Acts players were at the christening.
Texts from Simpson on everything from victories to the births of sons and daughters go out to a core group of 55 in the Class Acts family. Simpson, in fact, is 55. Injuries to both legs ended his playing career. He has no idea when or if he'll give up this part of his life.
"I'll probably manage this team from my grave. I'll set up a trust so the kids of everyone who played can play." I repeated that comment Friday night in the Mountain Valley bleachers.
Fitts didn't think his friend was kidding.
"You've got to understand Bill. He'd do that."

A line of baby strollers that pose a strangulation hazard and sheets that pose a suffocation hazard are part of this week's recalled consumer products. Faulty canning jar lifters and wall ovens are among several other recalled products.
DETAILS: Mutsy EVO strollers made between Feb. 2012 and Nov. 2012 with the following model numbers: MT12-03, MT12-11, MT12-14, MT12-31, MT12-34, MT12-37, MT12-39, MT12-42, MT12-43 and MT12-48. The model number and date code can be found underneath the stroller seat on a white sticker. The strollers have black or silver-colored metal frames with brown, navy blue, black, or white seats. "EVO" is printed on the lower back frame of the stroller. They were sold between April and Dec. 2012.
WHY: The opening between the grab bar and seat bottom of the stroller can allow an infant's body to pass through and become entrapped at the neck, posing a strangulation hazard to young children when a child is not harnessed.
INCIDENTS: None reported.
HOW MANY: About 340.
FOR MORE: Contact Mutsy USA 877-546-9230, send email to usa(at)mutsy.nl, or visit www.mutsy.com for recall information.
DETAILS: 4moms breeze cotton jersey playard sheets made by Thorley Industries LLC. The sheets are cream-colored, cotton jersey fabric. They were sold as an accessory to the 4moms breeze play yard. "4moms" is printed on a black tag sewn onto the sheet. Item number 4M-009-10-000101 is printed on the packaging and UPC 817980011137 is printed on the sheet's packaging and on a white warning tag sewn onto the sheet. They were sold in December and January.
WHY: The sheets are too small for the play yards. A sheet that does not properly fit the play yard poses an entrapment hazard that could lead to suffocation.
INCIDENTS: None reported.
HOW MANY: About 1,440.
FOR MORE: Call 4moms toll-free at 888-977-3944 or visit www.4moms.com and click on Recall for more information.

WHY: The jar lifter handle can detach over time due to a missing stainless steel core in the hinge. This can cause the tongs to fail to grip and allow a jar being lifted to fall, posing a laceration hazard to the user.
INCIDENTS: None reported.
HOW MANY: About 22,700 in the U.S. and 3,800 in Canada.
FOR MORE: Call Progressive International at 800-426-7101, send email to jarlifter(at)progressiveintl.com; or visit www.progressiveintl.com and click on "Recall Information" for additional information.

WHY: The fuel pump inlet fitting can come into contact with the oil tank and break, leading to a fuel to leak, which poses a fire hazard.
INCIDENTS: Three reports of fires, but no injuries reported.
HOW MANY: About 10,200.
FOR MORE: Call BRP at 888-638-5397 or visit www.ski-doo.com and click on "recall information" under the owner center for more information.

WHY: Some of the wall ovens have been improperly installed and/or have damaged flexible gas appliance connectors, posing a fire hazard.
INCIDENTS: One report of a fire, resulting in property damage to the cabinet that held the oven. No injuries have been reported.
HOW MANY: About 940.
FOR MORE: Call BlueStar at 800-449-8691 or visit www.bluestarcooking.com and click on "Recall" for more information.

It's a chilly start to your Thursday with temperatures in the upper-20s but it will eventually warm up to the mid-40s. There may be a few snow flurries around north central Mass. and parts of western Mass.
Friday is looking like another cool day with a high of 40. Lows tonight and Friday night will be in the mid-20s.
There is still some uncertainty with Saturday's snow potential. Some forecasts keep us dry, others show a good chance for light accumulations of snow in mainly eastern Mass. and other forecasts call or the snow to push further inland with a mix of snow and rain in eastern Mass. This would be our first measurable snowfall for the season.
The likely timing for snow on Saturday is during the afternoon and evening.
Sunday and Monday look cold and dry with another chance for snow on Tuesday.

Wake sharply to a gunshot sneeze over the monitor and a hopeful little voice "Mommy, I have a cold!" Hold my breath while feeling forehead – cool, listen to breathing – clear. No more sneezes.
Pray he is well enough for school, but know I will go to swine-flu hell if I send a sick child in. Immediately feel guilty for desperately wanting the day to myself while I send my children to learn from others. Try to comfort self with the rationale that I'm no good to my family if I don't get my own time – self doesn't really buy it. Feel compulsion to make time while children are at school remarkably productive, immediately feel overwhelmed and dispirited. Make breakfast of waffles and syrup. Thought there were strawberries, but they appear to have gone fuzzy. Hope nutritionally deprived children get a vegetable with school lunch. Stuff children into rain jackets and boots – four-year old's rain jacket too small. Feel guilty that I haven't bought a new one before now. Two-year old refuses boots, insists on crocs. Capitulate. Feel guilty over that. Remember that I need to purchase a workbook to help four-year old with small-motor skills on teacher's advice. Just what is she trying to tell me? What's wrong with his small motor-skills?? Realize I forgot to put children's sheets for naptime in dryer. Husband melodramatically tapping foot. Race downstairs, pop them in, yell at dryer. Send children out into rain with too-small jacket and inappropriate shoes, damp sheets and questionable small-motor skills. In the plus column (and this is not always a given around here), everyone has their pants on. Seize the day kids, Mama loves you!

It's like an early Christmas gift to columnists! GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich told an audience at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government that the nation's child labor laws are "truly stupid" and called for vastly increased employment eligibility for kids who haven't reached their mid-teens.
It's like an early Christmas gift to columnists! GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich told an audience at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government that the nation's child labor laws are "truly stupid" and called for vastly increased employment eligibility for kids who haven't reached their mid-teens.
In particular, Gingrich spoke wistfully about the notion of firing most of the unionized janitors at inner-city schools and (under)paying students to do the work. Gingrich said such radical steps are justified because the kids need to develop a work ethic, because the kids need to take pride in themselves and because shoeshine jobs and "tote that barge, lift that bale" jobs have *sigh* gone the way of penny postcards and malt shops.
As I understand it, Gingrich is publicizing this custodial makeover with an ad campaign along the lines of "Silly rabbit! Toilet snakes are for kids!"
Some pundits have a knee-jerk response to label Gingrich's plan as mean-spirited. That is not necessarily true, but we do need to be watchful that his Contract With America doesn't get morphed into Contract With Sleazy Textile Mills by overzealous supporters. (These folks take the approach that "Children should be seen and not heard — unless the coal mine collapses. Then they better holler pretty loud, while the air lasts...")
Critics warn that the child labor revamp is just one way Gingrich is planning to turn back the clock on progressive achievements of the 20th century. A campaign spokesman says nothing could be further from the truth. ("Newt doesn't like to mess with clocks, since they're part of a vast unionist/socialist plot. And once he's in office, he vows to send Navy SEAL Team Six to eliminate all those pinkos promoting sundials and egg timers.")
I'm not sure if pre-teens have the emotional maturity to uphold corporate values ("Quality is Job One —unless it messes with my curfew"), or make life-changing decision about either sticking with Social Security or going with Gingrich's proposed private investment plan. ("Hey, I can't even decide if I like Judy or LIKE like Judy.")
Gingrich's ideas were very sketchy in all the news reports I read, but the hints certainly entice the imagination into overdrive. Think about kids as high-voltage linemen, NASCAR drivers, alligator wrestlers, social workers ("He followed me home, Mom — can I keep him?") But the most wrenching changes would take place if federal jobs got taken over by youngsters.
Just imagine underage Secret Service agents ("He just shot the president! Kewl! That oughtta be worth a lot of points!") and EPA inspectors ("Whoever smelt it, dealt it").
Whatever your position on safety, breadwinner job security and idyllic childhoods, there's no question that our entire cultural landscape will change if the child labor paradigm changes. Restaurants will advertise "Indentured servants eat free!" Embryonic stem cell research will skyrocket. ("If stem cells can be coaxed into replicating tissues and organs, maybe they can be coaxed into driving heavy equipment and digging ditches!) And piggy banks? Piggy banks will figure out some way to charge their owners HIDDEN FEES.
Perhaps our labor laws do need tweaking, but I dread the day when the G-20 economic summit becomes the G-20 slumber party. ("Girls, I submit that the euro should be tied to the current price of a lock of Justin Bieber's hair. All in favor, scream, 'Eeeeeeeee!'")

The game was scoreless through the first three innings.
In the top of the fourth the Lady Bisons put five runs on the board. Christen Campbell opened by grounding out to third base. Mitchell singled to left. Katie Haab followed with a single to left to move Mitchell to third. Megan Rottler struck out swinging. Dortwegt loaded the bases via an intentional walk.
Vanessa Medina singled through the left side to score Mitchell. Sirus slammed a double to score Haab and Dortwegt. Abby Keese singled to the shortstop to bring in Medina.
The Lady Bisons scored the fifth run of the inning on a double steal with Keese safe at second and Sirus stealing home. Caroline Mason walked, but Campbell struck out to end the inning.
In the fifth the Lady Bisons added one run with two outs. Rottler doubled to left. Dortwegt walked. Medina then doubled down the left field line to bring Rottler home.
The Lady Bisons added another run in the sixth to take a 7-0 lead.
Mason was walked. She moved to second on a wild pitch and then advanced to third on throwing error by the third baseman. Mason scored on a single up the middle by Mitchell.
But the Lady Bisons weren't finished with the scoring. They added three more runs in the top of the seventh.
Dortwegt led off with a bunt single to the catcher. She then stole second. Medina walked and Sirus singled to the pitcher. The next two batters were out. Campbell walked for force Dortwegt across the plate. Mitchell singled to right to bring in Sirus and Medina.
Kiihnl threw 5 1/3 innings, striking out three and scattering five hits. Alaina Jacobson relieved Kiihnl. She did not allow a hit or run in 1 2/3 innings. She struck out two of the six batters she faced.
The Lady Bisons are home this week to prepare for their next tournament trip. They are in Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 21 and 22 for the Panther Invitational hosted by Georgia State.

I was hanging with some friends of mine
We were all having a real good time, yeah
I saw a girl who was so very fine
I started waving my hands, my arms, my head
Got the nerve; found the words to say
But to my surprise she was passing
I mean it was strange 'cause she just walked away
She won't talk to me, she won't talk to me
Now you're nervous with the fever
Body beat and never quit
I'm in heaven when I see her
Won't you talk some little things?
Hope she talk to me
I can't hear (What cha gonna do?)
You can't sit down like no one all by yourself
(I just wanna talk to you) And nobody else, yeah
I just wanna tell her
She's the girl of my fantasies
How we meet in my dreams every night it seems
And how love can be, I wanna (love you)
I'm gonna be (your love)
It's not everyday we see the one
That your heart's been likely dreaming of
There's that look in her eyes, so I don't know why
She won't talk to me, she won't talk to me
She pretends she doesn't see me
Leaves me standing in the rain
''cause I know she wants to meet me
She's just playing silly games
I said girl (What cha gonna do?)
Wanna show you a love that you just gotta see
(I just wanna talk to you) But she won't talk to me
And ooh, I'm telling everyone
I'm not dreaming anymore
'Cause I know she won't talk to me now
And at least she can't say no
And I'm going crazy
Trying to make her notice me
I go up, I get down, I turn all around
She won't talk to me, she won't talk to me
I said (Hey there baby)
I said (Hey there girl)
I said (Hey there baby)
She won't talk to me
She won't talk to me
(repeat to fade)

Students from Rochester Institute of Technology's School of Film and Animation put on a gold-medal performance at the Sleepless in Lake Placid 24 Hour Film Competition.
A team consisting of RIT students Harlan Doolittle, Chantal Massuh, Meghan Connolly and Christine Lodato won three out of the four major categories at the film competition in June. The team's film, Chet's Pet, won for Best Film (Robin Pell Award) as well as the Audience Choice Award. Actress Cynthia Wilber won Best Actress for her role in the film.
"These four students demonstrated professionalism, production skills with tremendous creativity and I was very proud of them and to be a part of this," says team adviser Dave Sluberski, who is a lecturer with RIT's School of Film and Animation. "They maximize every minute in that period to tell a story in less than eight minutes that the audience and judges loved. They were a solid team."
The teams were required to shoot and produce the film within 24 hours and had to include four specific elements.
"The rigor of our production curriculum prepares our students so well for these type of competitions," says School of Film and Animation chair Malcolm Spaull. "The winning students are rising juniors but have already been involved in anywhere from five to 10 short film productions. In that way they are as efficient on the set as most professionals. Combine that with these particular students' talent and sense of good story, and I am not surprised at all by their significant success at Lake Placid."
The jury consisted of award-winning director Craig Macneill, writer and film and television director Gregory Orr, and Michael Gaston, veteran film and television actor. This was the sixth year the 24-hour film competition was held in Lake Placid.
"Although the competition threw many challenges our way, we learned really quickly that in order to be successful in such a short amount of time that we had to compromise differences and work with one another," team member Chantel Massuh says. "There was no team leader, just a strong cohesive group."

Gerard Pique thinks that Barcelona could have persuaded Pep Guardiola to remain in charge if it had beaten Chelsea in last year's Champions League semifinal.
The Blaugrana were defeated over two legs by the eventual European champion in the 2011-12 campaign, and the Spaniard left his position at Camp Nou once the season had finished.
Speaking ahead of Spain's clash with Finland on Friday, the former Manchester United center back believes that Guardiola - who will replace Jupp Heynckes at Bayern Munich in the summer - could have been talked into staying had he achieved continental glory.
He told reporters on Thursday: "We were left with the feeling that if we had beaten Chelsea in the semifinals and then gone on to win the Champions League, we could have convinced him to stay another year. You never know."
The defender praised stand-in boss Jordi Roura for how he has coped in Tito Vilanova's absence, but admitted he is excited about Tito Vilanova's return as head coach once his health has recovered.
He added: "We can't wait [for Tito to come back], although Jordi Roura has done an invaluable job standing in for him."
Pique also revealed his desire to see Zlatan Ibrahimovic's suspension cut on appeal, allowing him to play in both legs of Barca's quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain.
"I prefer that Zlatan plays."

03.29.13: The CCRI Lady Knights' softball team hosted the Mustangs of Monroe College from New Rochelle, NY for a doubleheader on Friday at Winslow Park in Apponaug. The Lady Knights lost two tough games 7-5 and 7-3. With the two losses the Lady Knights fall to 2-7 on the season.
Game 1
CCRI- 5 Monroe College- 7
On the mound for the Lady Knights Katie Paddock (Providence, RI) got the start and pitched well but a late game rally by the Mustangs spoiled her outing. Paddock threw seven innings allowing seven runs, five earned, on 14 hits with one walks while striking out seven Mustangs. Paddock pitched much better than the stats show as she cruised through the first five innings with a 3-0 shutout going but Monroe got a couple hits and took advantage of a couple fielding mistakes by CCRI in the sixth inning to score five runs to take a 5-3 lead in t eh sixth. The Mustangs added two more runs in the seventh to take a 7-3 lead. The Lady Knights fought back with two but it was not enough as Monroe pulled-off the comeback victory 7-5.
Leading the offense for the Lady Knights was Kate Fowler (Warwick, RI) with two hits, including a double with three RBIs and a run scored and Co-Captain Mel Iadeluca (Warwick, RI) also added two hits, including a double with one RBI and a run scored. Also helping CCRI offensively was Co-Captain Izzy MarcAurele (Cranston, RI) with a hit and runs scored and Alex Place (East Greenwich, RI), Amber Boucher (Warwick, RI), and Brittany Smith (North Providence, RI) each added two hits and a runs scored apiece.
Game 2
CCRI- 3 Monroe College-7
On the mound for the Lady Knights Macayla Paiva (West Greenwich, RI) got the start and faced a very similar fate as Paddock did earlier. Paiva cruised through her first five innings giving-up just a single run on four hits. But in the sixth once again the flood gates opened for Monroe as the scored six times capped by a grand slam from clean-up batter Amanda Casillas, her only hit of the day. Making matters worse for CCRI the sixth inning was the last inning due to darkness and they were unable to score on the bottom of the sixth losing by the final score of 7-3.
Offensively for the Lady Knights co-Captain Liz Coburn (Chepachet, RI) had two hits with a runs scored, followed by Katie Paddock with an RBI double. They were helped by Alex Place and Kate Fowler who each had a hit and an RBI apiece. Rounding out eh CCRI offence was Izzy MarcAurele and Amber Boucher each with a hit.
The Lady Knights travel to Selden, NY to play Suffolk County Community College on Saturday for a doubleheader beginning at 1:00pm.
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

With half the 2012 season finished, Sporting News' network of NFL correspondents asked 103 players from 27 teams everything you want to know about this year in our annual midseason players poll.
As always in our midseason poll, players were not allowed to name their teammates or head coach for any of their answers.
MORE: Sunday's notable concussions — Michael Vick | Jay Cutler | Alex Smith
Would you try to hide concussion symptoms to keep playing?
Yes: 56
No: 44
"Yes. If I don't play, I feel like I'm letting my team down. I'm not going to put myself at serious risk. But if I can play through it, I'm going to play through it." — Jaguars WR Cecil Shorts
"Probably. If it's not something that scares me right away and I think it just comes with playing, I'd keep playing. If it's something where I'm woozy, I'm not playing. I've played long enough. I know my body. I know what's serious." — Colts CB Jerraud Powers
"Yes. You want to win. We know what we signed up for in this game. I'd only do it for a mild concussion. You can't hide a bad concussion." — AFC defensive player
"It depends on the severity of the concussion, I guess. It also depends on the situation in the game. I am not coming out of the Super Bowl for a concussion, I know that. I don't think I would come out of a playoff game with a concussion, either. It depends on the severity of the concussion, too. If it is something light, and you know where you are and aware and stuff like that after a couple of minutes, I would probably try and keep going." — Titans DE Kamerion Wimbley
SN CONCUSSION REPORT: Five-part series overview
"No. That's a dangerous game to play. Now we're talking about affecting the quality of life decades down the road, as if it's not already going to be affected by the game we play. It's going to put you in a bad situation that can end your career pretty fast." — Jaguars G Uche Nwaneri
"No. I've seen too many concussions and what they can do, and I'd never try to hide the symptoms. I've seen the long-term ramifications, and it's scary. With the knowledge, information and treatment we have now, you'd be crazy to try to hide symptoms." — AFC offensive player
"Before all the new info ... yes. Not worth it now. So no." — Redskins LB Lorenzo Alexander
"It depends on the severity because everyone's tried to hide concussion symptoms. But I'd say no." — AFC offensive player

What if instead of being confined to your browser, websites were actually television shows? I'm so glad you asked. Here's how 4Chan, WebMD, Craigslist, and more would play out on the small screen.
Truth be told, I'd willingly watch most of these. Although I suspect that 80% of the Facebook show would just be Farmville weather reports. [College Humor]

If it were me I'd go English IPA using the Summit for bittering and the Glacier and EKG's for flavor/aroma.
FWIW, I love Summit hops!
roast some of the pale malt, or get some roast malt, use just enough of the summit to bitter a little and the other hops near the end. shoot for medium to dark amber, lower ibu and use the london yeast and i think you could get somewhere along the profile of a scottish, but with a more pronounced ending hop flavor, aroma. something kind of unique and not provided by anyone else
Quote from: denny on July 19, 2012, 06:10:10 PMFWIW, I love Summit hops!Bitter and/or aroma?
Quote from: Alewyfe on July 19, 2012, 06:22:42 PMQuote from: denny on July 19, 2012, 06:10:10 PMFWIW, I love Summit hops!Bitter and/or aroma?Both. One of my all time favorite recipes is a past Big Brew recipe called "Griffin Spit" (it's in the wiki). Uses all Summit hops, all at 20 min. or less. Wonderful tangerine aroma/flavor.
FWIW I hate summit hops. I have never had a beer made with them that I could enjoy. Total personal preference. I know folks who love them.
Unless you like beer that tastes like feet, stay away from them.

Justice seeking to block Bernanke testimony
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government is trying to block questioning of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in a lawsuit by the former head of American International Group Inc.
The Justice Department told a federal appeals court Friday that high-ranking officials shouldn't have to testify except in extraordinary circumstances.
Former AIG CEO Hank Greenberg sued the government over the $182 billion bailout of the insurance giant that has since been repaid. Greenberg claims the bailout terms were too onerous and is seeking at least $25 billion.
It is rare for a Fed chairman to be questioned in a lawsuit, but U.S. Court of Federal Claims Judge Thomas Wheeler ruled that Bernanke has firsthand knowledge of the bailout and should undergo questioning. Justice wants the appeals court to order Wheeler to block the questioning.

So why the perceived slight? Because paranormal gets half the big bucks, and dystopian takes another quarter. But contemporary is hanging in there. I was surprised to find science fiction and "other" holding their own as well.
A few random thoughts:
- This may look depressing if you write contemporary, but honestly? I had never heard of a contemporary getting six-figures, and these weren't celebrity-turned-writer deals. So I was actually pleased to see that 9%.
- Several deals noted authors moving from one genre to another - and not all from realistic to paranormal.
- Charts from five years ago, or five years from now, would likely show very different statistics. Don't write to trends. Write work interesting enough to start a new trend.
- I write both, I love both, but my love of paranormal does not extend to trolls. No paranormal-bashing in my comments. Please and thank you.
Margin of Error Disclaimers:
- I'm terrible at math.
- Paranormal includes fantasy and anything the least bit supernatural-sounding.
- Dystopian includes apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic, unless the blurb specifically mentioned those as sci-fi.
- "Other" includes historical fiction and deals that didn't include blurbs.
- I counted deals, not individual books within deals.
- Only 30% of the deals I counted indicated size, so the second chart only represents 1/3 of the deals in chart one.
- A small number of six-figure deals are not represented in the second graph because when they weren't listed with the standard categories ("nice" through "significant").
- These figures were taken from Publisher's Marketplace deal reporting. I didn't download any statistics from their website- I counted the deals manually and assigned my own categories when necessary. I'm no genre expert and may have mis-categorized a few things.
- Some agents and editors choose not to list deals in Publisher's Marketplace, which means neither chart is a full representation of YA publishing.
- Did I mention I'm terrible at math?
- EDITED TO ADD: As pointed out by Tracy Buchanan, few UK deals are reported in PM, which made me realize I also forgot to mention that I haven't included the selling of foreign rights in these numbers.
Two For Tuesday is a weekly meme I made up when I couldn't think of anything to blog about. Post two of anything: book reviews, pictures, quotes, poems, songs, videos, rants, shout outs, whatever floats your boat. Just connect them somehow. That's it. Leave me a comment if you want to share!

GI.biz notes that the Assassin's Creed producer first joined Ubi's Montreal outfit in 2004.
"I'm honoured to be a part of Ubisoft's expansion into Toronto," said Raymond of the move. "I'm looking forward to building a strong and talented team to work on AAA games and new intellectual properties."The Toronto studio is expected to provide 800 new jobs for the city and will be focusing on the creation of new triple-A games.
"I'm excited to have Jade managing our Toronto studio," added Mallat. "With more than 12 years of experience in the videogame industry, Jade's knowledge and leadership as an industry veteran are major assets in building the Toronto studio and expanding Ubisoft's presence in Canada."
Bryn says: With work presumably coming to an end reasonably soon on Assassin's Creed II, it's going to be interesting to see what new games start to emerge from Toronto. What are the chances that Assassin's Creed III will be its first conquest?
I just wish we had some more solid details about Beyond Good & Evil 2. But I'm not holding my breath for that just yet...

Police uncover underage drinking party
Police uncover underage drinking party
OMAHA, Neb. —
Police uncovered an underage party when a teenager ended up in a hospital, drunk and unconscious.
According to a police report, a 16-year-old girl's mom told officers her daughter went to birthday party at a house near 150th and F streets Saturday night.
Officers went to the house and found two teenagers whose blood-alcohol content was .157 and .161.
Homeowner Timothy Briggs told officers he was checking on the party of 70 kids every 15 minutes and wasn't aware that alcohol was being consumed until the party was over.
Police ticketed Briggs for child neglect and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Yandere Kanojo - A romantic comedy between a nerd and his "Yan-dere" Girlfriend
First of all, despite what the title says, the lead female isn't a yandere at all but more of a Tsundere, a very violent Tsundere :heh:.
The reason i put a "-" in the title since it's to emphasis the "Yan" in Yan-dere.
The "Yan" in Yan-dere actually refers to Yankee (Japanese Delinquent) which the lead female is. So hence the title refers to the lead female being a Yankee with a Deredere side hence "Yan-dere". (Clever pun huh?)
As for the story, it was very funny how the lead female Ryuuzaki Reina tries to denied at first that she's in love with the Nerd Tanaka Manabu when she first meet him only to later learn he feels the same way about her too.:)
I going keep watch on this series and see how their relationship goes.
Ah, finally a topic for this manga.
A nice shoutout to those who were expecting the generic definition of Yandere being used in this manga. I can already hear someone out there who's a yandere freak crying foul over the title, heheh. Although I sincerely don't mean to offend anyone, and hopefully a certain someone I meant is not here in AnimeSuki. :uhoh:
So far I enjoyed the ride-- I mean, reading this. Have been stalking intensively like how a covert agent would try to stalk an enemy personnel in order to gain classified information following the raws, thank goodness there are translations. :D
never heard it until now:p
But look so Interesting ..I'll be reading it soon ^__^
The first time I saw the artwork I immediately thought Love Roma, but I guess it is done by a different author.
She's totally a sister of the Onidere girl.
Although, yeah, she doesn't seem all that...insane. Just a little, haha, "shy." So she's not the generally recognized "yandere" type. Not that I mind, yanderes generally suck. With one magnificent exception.
Read the first chapter the other day and I thought this series was kind of cute. The female lead is definitely a different type yandere then I originally thought, not really a true yandere by definition.
Btw did anyone else find it funny when the author added "not American" in the title when referring to yankee. :heh: I guess he wanted to make sure people weren't thinking of that type of yankee.
its bascially the same story!:heh:
still pretty good and nice little read, looking forward to the rest of this:)
Chapter 2 just came out.
Reina was kinda cute after she had a makeover to disguise herself on her date with Tanaka.
I lol when i learn Tanaka doesn't have a cell phone & almost buying an old people phone & Reina's mom is hilarious. Turns out both of Reina's parents were Yankee's too! :)
Hmmm... The first thing I noticed is that Reina isn't Yandere at all.
She's probably closer to a Tsundere than a Yandere.
It seems I was baited by the title...
Well, that aside, this looks to be an entertaining read. The characters seem to be fun, so I guess I'll keep an eye on this series.
Thing is here I don't think we've got to the stage where she could be called a yandere yet. While she is kinda closer to a tsundere than yandere atm, she still openly expresses herself to Tanaka so kinda not tsundere.
I don't think this would ever go into any serious yandere like what you get from School Days or even Shuffle.
Its odd in that she's kinda yandere but she isn't and also kinda tsundere but agian not really:eyespin:
Well either way too soon to really tag her as anything but certainly a fun read:D
Can someone explain the connection between the version in Gangan Joker and Gangan Online? Are they different stories?
This series is kind of cute. Very funny characters. :D
eh from what I gather the Online one is still basically the same premise but just a separate series.
I've seen the raws for it before when looking for raws for this one and it is little different.
Oh and totally forgot about what the title means but MrT explains it in the first post, can't believe I missed that part been too long since I remembered anything about this>__<
....so yea you can totally forget about my post from before, completely useless now.
Its clever word play that throws you off quite well:p
I love Reina'a facial expressions and reactions, they're hilarious and always so constant. Loved how Tanaka got excited over how she dressed for the date and got a lot of motivation to buy a cellphone xD
Got to love delinquent girls usually they're tough and violent, but when it comes to romance they're shy and cute :D
New Chapter is out
"Man Reina"s Dad was a riot"
Reina's Mom was so cute when Reina's Dad showed up.
Is this fully translated? Like up to the latest RAW? It says it's started in 2009 so it's generally a new series but I wanna see if I'm far behind or what not. It's a great read, I heard it's very similar to Onidere but I like this better than the former because of the characters and the wacky drawing style. Hope to see the next chapter soon.
Yea does remind one of Onidere altho I could really say which I like more, Onidere has a bigger group of characters and the focus is on them as whole more so than YK which is more focused on the main couple.
One thing I love here tho is Manabu's outbursts, like with when he meets Reina to go shopping for a phone or when at the festival:D
Also you gotta love Manabu's little sister, she's absolutely crazy:heh:
They share a basic concept (yankee girl and honor student have a secret relationship that they don't hide very well) but that's about it. Onidere is way, way more over the top and unrealistic in the way the universe. I see you Invincible Stuco President . . . Hmm, I want to say the type of jokes employed are different, or at least, they have a different feel because of the stark contrast between the two settings. Yea, I think that's what it is. Also, I think this one being part 4 koma or whatever they're called also changes the feel quite a bit.
They're both funny and enjoyable, and that's all I really care about, so I'm happy.

About the NGC Catalogue
The New General Catalogue or NGC contains 7840 entries and forms the core of most people's "life list" of observing targets. The NGC was originally published in 1888 by J.L.E. Dreyer and therefore predated photographic astronomy. The Finest NGC list, compiled by Alan Dyer complements the Messier List as there is no overlap. The list features many fine deep-sky treasures as well as a few somewhat more-challenging objects.
Here is an overview of the Finest NGC Observing List:

RASC Finest NGC Certificate
The Finest NGC certificate has been awarded since 1995. Observing the Finest NGC list is an excellent project for those who have completed their Messier Certificate and who are looking for a new visual observing program. The official list can be found in the RASC Observer's Handbook. At least a 20 cm (8 inch) telescope is recommended to complete the list although it can be done with a 15 cm (6 inch) under good skies. Several Finest NGC objects can be observed in even smaller instruments so these could be used to get started on the brighter objects. With all instruments a nebular filter will enhance the view of the faint glowing clouds of gas.
The Finest NGC certificate can be started during any season. You must be a member in good standing of the RASC to be awarded this certificate. Handy recording and application forms can be found in links at the bottom of this page.
Observing Forms
The RASC Observing Committee has created special observing forms to help you complete the Finest NGC certificate program. These NGC observing forms (677 KB, 115 pages) will help to keep your observations in one organized file. They feature all of the important data about each Finest NGC object and a generous area for making notes and drawings.
