The Huskers have already wrestled against No. 3 Minnesota, No. 15 Wyoming, No. 22 Wisconsin and No. 23 Maryland.

Former Husker Burroughs Wins Gold Medal in Freestyle
Former Husker Jordan Burroughs won the gold medal at 74 kilograms (163 pounds) at the 2012 Olympics in London. Burroughs defeated Iran's Sadegh Saeed Goudarzi 3-0 in the gold medal match.
Burroughs, a two-time NCAA champion at Nebraska, won four matches on Friday en route to becoming the first freestyle gold medalist in school history. Burroughs adds the gold medal to his list of accomplishments after Nebraska, which includes winning the 2011 FILA World Championships.
After taking a bye in the round of 32, Burroughs dominated Puerto Rico's Francisco Soler Tanco. Burroughs won the first round 4-0 before taking the second round 6-0. With the win, he advanced to the quarterfinals to face Matthew Gentry of Canada.
In a much closer match, Burroughs survived the scare from Gentry. Burroughs posted a 2-1 victory in the first round before tying the second round and winning the match.
In the semifinals, Burroughs was challenged by Russia's Denis Tsargush, but prevailed in the third round. The Sicklerville, N.J., native won the first round 3-1, but fell 2-0 in the second round. He bounced back in the third round, however, for a 2-1 win.
Burroughs then shut out Goudarzi in the gold medal match, winning 1-0, 1-0.
Burroughs, who won the 2011 Hodge Trophy for best collegiate wrestler, was coached by Nebraska Head Coach Mark Manning at the London Olympics.
Burroughs joins Dan Brand (1964), Bill Scherr (1988), Rulon Gardner (2000 and 2004) and Matt Lindland (2000) as the only former Huskers to earn Olympic medals. Brand and Scherr each took bronze in freestyle, Gardner won gold (2000) and bronze (2004) in Greco-Roman and Lindland earned silver.

Last inmates moved Wednesday
The Dwight Correctional Center, the state's only all-female prison and home to more than 900 inmates, now sits empty. All throughout March the transfers to Logan Correctional Center, Springfield, were conducted by prison transport. The last of the inmates were moved out Wednesday as part of a budget-cutting plan, proposed more than a year ago by Gov. Pat Quinn.
The village of Dwight and local lawmakers didn't let it go without a fight. Dwight had multiple rallies, roundtable discussions and prison employees also staged pickets to garner support, which fell on deaf ears at the governor's office.
After a budget was proposed, which included funding for the threatened facilities, the governor amended the budget, still choosing to close the prisons, which meant moving male inmates out of Logan to accommodate Dwight's population and finding a place for the 350 Dwight Correctional Center employees to find new employment at other correctional centers.
Dwight Village President Bill Wilkey said that he and local lawmakers are moving forward to the next step of supporting the communities. He said they are putting their heads together to help people affected by the closures.
"I never thought it would come to this, but it has, so now we have to take the next step and start working to see if we can't help these people," Wilkey said.
Senator Jason Barickman, R-Bloomington, agreed.
"I have a willingness to do whatever it takes to help the community. If it's employment workshops or any other types of assistance that we can provide from the state, I certainly want to do that," he said.
Barickman said that after the building's equipment is disassembled and removed, which could take weeks to months, the building will be turned over to Central Management Services.
"What I've communicated with the mayor and other people locally is that I think it's important for those interested in the future of the facility to brainstorm and be the initiative behind reaching out to various businesses and other governmental bodies who may be interested in using the facility in the future," Barickman explained. "(CMS) will provide security for the facility, long-term maintenance and that is when the opportunity is created for us to find a new use for the facility."
It was believed that the building was on the National Register of Historic Places since the first discussions of closing the facility, but neither Barickman, nor the Daily Leader, could find any documentation of that.
"It's only been suggested to me by some people that there is some protected status of the facility," Barickman explained. What that protection is, he said he's not sure of.
Wilkey and Barickman agree that now is a time to move forward and pick up the pieces left behind after the closure is complete.
"We just have to make the best that we can out of a bad situation. I think this is the craziest move that I've ever heard, putting this many people and especially so many lives in danger," Wilkey said.
Barickman agreed, "I'm tremendously disappointed that this is the outcome that we're left with and I've made my opinion clear throughout the process that I thought this was a poor decision and a shortsighted decision."
The ruse of closing the prison to save the state money has been uncovered, as many people predicted, the governor has asked for more money for the DOC in his latest budget.
"We've already seen the governor's budget request this year and this year he's requesting more money for the department of corrections, even after he's closed facilities. All the suggestions he's made that this is designed to save money clearly is not the case. We're spending more money today and tomorrow in corrections than we were last year, even after the supposed closures of these facilities," Barickman stated.
He said the reason is because the largest part of the DOC budget is personnel. Barickman said that since the first mention of closing facilities, Quinn has said that no employee would be laid off, which Barickman pointed out wouldn't change the budget much.
"He's moved people to other facilities. He's moved people out of the community of Dwight, but they're still employed by corrections. As a result, there's no cost savings attributed to the largest expense within corrections," he said.
Now that DCC is empty, the last "Save Dwight Prison" signs have been taken down and people are picking up the pieces of the reality of the closure setting in, Wilkey looks back on the last year of rallies, pickets and roundtable talks, and says he's proud to be from Dwight.
"The community and other communities really rallied behind us. There's no way to thank them because they were just so wonderful and I can't say enough about how well they helped us. It wasn't for a lack of effort that the prison was closed. The governor had an agenda to close the place. We worked hard. We didn't give up easily," he said.
The Daily Leader also reached out for comments from Dan Dunlap, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local #1133, as well as Anders Lindall, spokesperson for AFSCME Council #31, and calls were not returned.

This approach addresses a variety of biological, behavioural and environmental issues, as different groups of specialists work together to address key questions in the field of hominin evolutionary studies. From their collaborations around the study of a site, a time period or an adaptive issue, often emerge original ideas and new ways to test current hypotheses. Our research groups are composed of human paleontologists, paleolithic archaeologists and specialists in archaeological sciences, who constantly interact in their daily work and confront their results to reach a synthesised view of the broader questions that are of interest to our team.
The department's involvement in a large number of projects covering wide chronological and geographical ranges has only been possible through the establishment of strong international collaborative links. This is particularly true for our field work. Over the years, we have built up solid relationships with colleagues across Africa, North America, Europe and Asia. Our network of collaborators also includes a number of outstanding scientists who worked in the department at some stage of their career and remain associated researchers after obtaining permanent positions in other institutions across the world. Successful collaborative works also result from interactions with other departments of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and from our very active guest program, which allows us to create new ties with other research groups.
The wealth of methodological tools that became available to us within the department, or via our collaborative networks has allowed us to develop an original way of dealing with the study of paleoanthropological questions. Researchers in the department constantly push methodological boundaries. This includes the development of experimental approaches to deal with issues, such as stone tool technologies or the detection of controlled fire in paleolithic archaeological layers. This has led us to spectacular advances, sometimes resulting in the development of original Ph.D. projects that involve candidates and senior members of the team.

Andy Kaufman's brother says the late comedian is still alive and has fathered a daughter while in hiding.
So the rest of the family is weird, too.
The "Taxi" star died in 1984 at the age of 35 from lung cancer, but there has always been speculation that his death was a hoax. Conspiracy theorists were given a big boost Monday after his brother Michael gave a bizarre speech at the annual Andy Kaufman Awards in New York City.
According to website WENN, Michael said he found an essay written by Andy, which included details on how he planned to fake his own death. He said the letter instructed him to go to a restaurant on Christmas Eve in 1999, where an anonymous man supposedly handed him another note, which he then read to the crowd.
"Everything was great in his life, and he just wanted to get away from being Andy Kaufman," he said, adding that Andy said he fell in love and was raising a daughter.
Michael then shocked the audience by bringing a young woman out and introducing her as his brother's 24-year-old daughter. In video footage taken at Monday's event, obtained by TMZ, the unnamed woman backed Michael's story and said Andy has been living in secret as a stay-at-home dad.
Just so I have this straight: A man who wanted attention so badly he let a professional wrestler beat him up on David Letterman's talk show suddenly decided he wanted to stay home for nearly 30 years?
Why do I smell a pending book deal?
The young woman also said Andy agreed to come out of hiding after 29 years to attend the event, but backed out at the last minute. The Hollywood Reporter contacted Michael after the event and reported that he said the mystery woman was impossible to reach for further questions.
Impossible — of course.

Scalia could be swing vote in Illinois labor case
WASHINGTON - What will Justice Antonin Scalia do?
That was the question courtroom observers were asking Tuesday when a potentially pivotal labor case was argued in the U.S. Supreme Court.
At issue is whether Pam Harris and other home care workers should be forced to pay money to a union they don't want to belong to.
Harris is caring for her 25-year-old disabled son, Josh, in Lake County and receiving assistance from the state of Illinois to do so.
Gov. Pat Quinn issued an executive order designating Harris and other home care workers as "state employees" for the purpose of joining a union.
Service Employees International Union, a political ally of the governor's, then began trying to organize the workers.
"There's an unhealthy relationship between elected officials and public-sector unions," Harris told Illinois News Network last week.
Rod Blagojevich issued similar orders while he was governor.
Justice Samuel Alito expressed skepticism of governors' motivations to help unions:
"I thought the situation was that Governor Blagojevich got a huge campaign contribution from the union, and virtually as soon as he got into office he took out his pen and signed an executive order that had the effect of putting, what was it, $3.6 million into the union coffers?"
But Illinois Attorney Lisa Madigan, whose office argued the case against Harris, said the state has a compelling interest in promoting union representation of these workers.
"What the state of Illinois has had to do, as you heard during the argument, is find a mix of benefits so we're able to attract and retain a high-quality workforce," she said. "And quite frankly, before there was an exclusive representative engaged in collective bargaining, that was not the case in Illinois."
Between 2002 and 2012 Madigan received $779,773 in campaign donations from government worker unions, including $129,000 from the SEIU.
The court's four more liberal justices appeared to oppose changing the law.
If the court were to do so, Justice Stephen Breyer said, it would overturn 35 years of established legal precedent.
On the other hand, some of the more conservative members of the court - Chief Justice John Roberts, Alito and Justice Anthony Kennedy - appeared ready to side with Harris and the others who brought the lawsuit.
Justice Clarence Thomas did not ask questions during oral arguments, which is his practice.
That leaves Scalia, usually a stalwart conservative, as the potential swing vote on what seems to be a case centered on freedom of speech.
Workers who refuse to join a union are often charged a "representation fee," which is supposed to cover the cost of things like collective bargaining but not union political activities.
Kennedy noted that defining what is and isn't political activity is difficult. For example, he said collective bargaining for government workers affects the size of government - something that has political implications "in an era where government is getting bigger and bigger, and this is becoming more and more of an important issue to more people."
If the court finds in Harris' favor, public-sector labor unions could be weakened, Harvard Law School professor Benjamin Sachs, an expert on labor law and a former SEIU attorney, said in an interview last week.
If the court issues a narrow ruling, it could say that home care workers are not state workers and can't be compelled to give money to a union. This would deprive unions of a significant amount of revenue that they are receiving.
In fact, some justices expressed skepticism about whether these workers, many of whom are caring for relatives, really meet the definition of state employees.
The court is expected to rule on the case this summer.
Harris doesn't consider herself a state employee, just a mother looking after her son.
"I'm only doing this because it's the right thing for Josh. I didn't want - I didn't seek out - publicity or to become the face of changing public-sector unions. I just really wanted to do what was right for Josh."

President Barack Obama vowed Friday to join Planned Parenthood in fighting against what he said are efforts by states to turn women's health back to the 1950s, before the Supreme Court legalized abortion nationwide, and singled out the GOP-governed states of North Dakota and Mississippi for criticism.
"When politicians try to turn Planned Parenthood into a punching bag, they're not just talking about you," Obama said, becoming the first sitting president to address the abortion-rights group in person. "They're talking about the millions of women who you serve."
Obama asserted that "an assault on women's rights" is under way across the country, with bills introduced in more than 40 states to limit or ban abortion or restrict access to birth control or other services.
"The fact is, after decades of progress, there's still those who want to turn back the clock to policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century," he said. "And they've been involved in an orchestrated and historic effort to roll back basic rights when it comes to women's health."
Last month, North Dakota Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed a law that bans abortions as early as six weeks, or when a fetal heartbeat is detected, making the state the most restrictive in the nation in which to get the procedure.
Obama said "a woman may not even know that she's pregnant at six weeks."
More than a year ago in Mississippi, a "personhood" ballot initiative that would have defined life as beginning at fertilization was defeated by 58 percent of voters in November 2011, the same election in which staunch abortion opponent Phil Bryant, a Republican, was elected governor. Bryant had campaigned for the initiative. Abortion opponents are expected to soon begin a signature-drive to get a similar initiative on the ballot in 2014 or 2015.
"Mississippi's a conservative state, but they wanted to make clear there's nothing conservative about the government injecting itself into decisions best made between a woman and her doctor," Obama said of the voters there.
The president lauded Planned Parenthood's nearly 100 years of providing cancer screenings, contraception and other health services for women and assured those fighting to protect abortion rights that they have an ally in him.
"You've also got a president who's going to be right there with you, fighting every step of the way," Obama said.
In North Dakota, Republican state Rep. Bette Grande, an abortion opponent from Fargo who introduced the bill banning most abortions based on a fetal heartbeat, said she was happy Obama took notice of her state's stance on the issue.
"He is pointing it out because it's true. We have taken a serious look at the life of a child, and the nation is paying attention to that," she said. "We are dealing with life in North Dakota and something as basic as a beating heart."
Laurie Bertram Roberts, Mississippi president of the National Organization for Women, said voters in her state, while conservative, did not misunderstand what "personhood" would have meant for women and families.
"We understand that when you give a fertilized egg the rights of a person, that affects every aspect of pregnancy and reproductive health," she said.
Obama's pledge to stand with Planned Parenthood echoed his rhetoric in last year's presidential campaign after Republican rival Mitt Romney said he'd eliminate the organization's federal funding if elected. That incident, coupled with other issues, led Democrats to begin accusing Republicans of waging a "war on women." Obama went on to win a second term with 55 percent of the female vote, polls showed.
The president originally was scheduled to address Planned Parenthood on Thursday night, but the appearance was delayed to allow him to spend more time in Texas with the loved ones of those who were killed or injured in last week's explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas.

From Situationist Contributor John Bargh's ACME Lab:
Sitting in a hard chair can literally turn someone into a hardass. Holding a heavy clipboard leads to weighty decisions. Rubbing rough surfaces makes us prickly. So found researchers studying the interaction between physical touch and social cognition. The experiments included would-be car buyers who, when seated in a cushy chair, were less likely to drive a stiff bargain. The findings don't just suggest tricks for salesman, but may illuminate how our brains develop.
"The way people understand the world is through physical experiences. The first sense they develop is touch," said study co-author Josh Ackerman, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology psychologist. As they grow up, those physical experiences shape how people conceptualize abstract, social experience, he said. "Later on, you can do what we did — trigger different physical experiences, and produce changes in people's thoughts."
Published June 24 in Science, the study is the latest addition to a booming field of embodied cognition, which over the last decade has scientifically eroded the notion that mind and body are distinctly separate.
The paper was co-authored by Yale University psychologist [and Situationist Contributor] John Bargh. His group is especially interested in touch, which is one of the first senses to develop.

MILWAUKEE (AP) - An opportunistic defense and a high-percentage inside offense proved to be a simple, but extremely effective, winning formula for second-ranked Duke.
Junior center Elizabeth Williams scored 23 points to pace an offense that scored 46 points in the paint and the Blue Devils converted 20 turnovers into 26 points to remain unbeaten with a methodical 78-61 non-conference victory over Marquette on Sunday.
"They're a good team, Elizabeth is hard to guard," said Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie. "We have a tendency to play outside-in sometimes and that's bad because we've got some tremendous post players. But our guards did a great job today of going through Elizabeth and letting things happen there and reading that. She's a special player working very, very hard."
Alexis Jones added 19 points for Duke (5-0), which played without 6-foot-3 senior forward Haley Peters, the team's leading rebounder, who injured her right knee on Thursday in an 88-69 victory over Vanderbilt.
Williams made 11 of 15 shots, mostly on a variety of moves around the basket, as the Blue Devils shot 50 percent. Guard Chelsea Gray dished out 13 assists, along with 12 points and a team-high nine rebounds.
"The guards did a great job getting the ball inside, "said Williams, who also had four blocks. "We talked a lot about transition. I can get out and run and they did a great job of throwing me long outlet passes. I was demanding the ball inside and even when they were in the zone, we did a good job of getting into the seams."
Katie Young had 21 points and 13 rebounds and Katherine Plouffe added 17 points and eight boards for the Golden Eagles, who actually had a 45-35 rebounding advantage, including 20 offensive rebounds.
"We obviously rebounded the ball exceptionally well, being plus 10," said Marquette coach Terri Mitchell. "We had 20 offensive boards, but we don't have the points to show for it and that's one thing we have to grow on."
Marquette (4-1) trailed 33-24 at the half and stayed close early after the break, pulling within 46-38, but Duke scored seven straight, opening a 53-38 lead on Gray's 3-pointer with 13:00 remaining. Marquette got no closer than 11 the rest of the way.
"Offensively, Elizabeth was fantastic, especially in the second half," said McCallie. "I don't think she's played 37 minutes in a long time. Alexis was just on it defensively, again, especially in the second half to pick us up. It was a good game, lots we can improve on but we'll enjoy this for now."
The Golden Eagles used a 10-point run to take a 19-16 lead midway through the first half, but Duke responded with a 17-2 spurt to go in front 33-21.
"We have to improve our post defense," Mitchell said. "It all starts with ball pressure. If the ball can see, your posts are being hung out to dry. Our zone worked extremely well for a while but they made some shots and got out of it. "

John McAfee Back in the US, Holes Up in a Miami Hotel
Miami – Anti-virus software founder John McAfee is holed up in a Miami Beach hotel after weeks of evading Belizean authorities who want to question him in a homicide.
Shortly after McAfee arrived Wednesday evening on a flight from Guatemala, he announced on his website that he had alighted in the city's swank South Beach neighborhood.
McAfee was deported from the Central American country after sneaking in illegally from Belize, where police want to question him in connection with the death of a U.S. expatriate who lived near him on an island off Belize's coast.
McAfee says he did not kill the neighbor and feared his own life would be in danger if he turned himself in to Belizean authorities. He has not been charged with any crime, and it was unclear whether U.S. authorities had any interest in questioning him.
An FBI spokesman in Miami, James Marshall, told the AP in an email that the agency was not involved with McAfee's return to the U.S.
Authorities from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. Marshals office and the U.S. attorney's office did not immediately respond to questions Wednesday about whether McAfee would be questioned or detained in the U.S. They said there was no active arrest warrant for McAfee that would justify taking him into custody.
On his website Wednesday night, the 67-year-old British native said he was escorted by a group of federal agents to an airport taxi stand, where he caught a cab to the hotel.
"I have no phone, no money, no contact information," the online post said. Reached by telephone at the hotel, McAfee told an AP reporter he couldn't talk because he was waiting for a call from his girlfriend, 20-year-old Belizean Samantha Vanegas.
Vanegas had accompanied him when he was on the run, but did not go with him to the U.S.
On a blog he has been posting for the past two weeks, McAfee wrote, "I have been forcibly separated from Sam." But he claimed she would be coming to the United States later.
McAfee sat in a coach-class seat on an American Airlines flight from Guatemala City, according to the airline.
He told ABC News that he did not know what to expect when he arrived in Miami.
"They said, 'Mr. McAfee, please step forward,'" McAfee told ABC. "I was met by a dozen or maybe fewer officers. I said, 'Am I arrested?' They said, 'No, sir, I am here to help you.' That felt the best of all."
Other passengers on the flight told The Associated Press that McAfee was escorted off the aircraft before they were allowed to disembark.
"They asked us to please stay seated and said, 'Mr. John McAfee, come to the front,' and he did," said Maria Claridge, a 36-year-old photographer from Fort Lauderdale. "He walked very peacefully, chin up. He didn't seem stressed."
Claridge said she did not see what happened to McAfee after he left the aircraft. She said he was well dressed, in a black suit and white shirt, appeared to be traveling alone and that she didn't realize who he was until another passenger told her.
"I thought he was either a diplomat or a politician," she said. "It just seemed eerie to be traveling on an airplane with someone who was in trouble."
In Guatemala on Sunday, McAfee said he wanted to return to the United States and "settle down to whatever normal life" he can. "I simply would like to live comfortably day by day, fish, swim, enjoy my declining years."
He later said he also would be happy to go to England, noting, "I have dual citizenship."
McAfee's expulsion from Guatemala marked the last chapter in a strange, month-long odyssey to avoid police questioning about the November killing of American expatriate Gregory Viant Faull, who lived a couple of houses down from McAfee's compound on Ambergris Caye, off Belize's Caribbean coast.
McAfee has acknowledged that his dogs were bothersome and that Faull had complained about them days before some of the dogs were poisoned, but denies killing Faull.
He was in hiding in Belize for weeks after police pronounced him a person of interest in the killing. Belizean authorities have urged him to show up for questioning, but have not lodged any formal charges against him.
Belize's prime minister, Dean Barrow, has expressed doubts about McAfee's mental state, saying: "I don't want to be unkind to the gentleman, but I believe he is extremely paranoid, even bonkers."
McAfee is an acknowledged practical joker who has dabbled in yoga, ultra-light aircraft and the production of herbal medications. He has led an eccentric life since he sold his stake in the software company named after him in the early 1990s and moved to Belize about three years ago to lower his taxes.
He told The New York Times in 2009 that he had lost all but $4 million of his $100 million fortune in the U.S. financial crisis. However, a story on the Gizmodo website quoted him as describing that claim as "not very accurate at all."

10 Discussion Questions for Book Clubs and Others
The Empty Nest: 31 Parents Tell the Truth About Relationships, Love, and Freedom After the Kids Fly the Coop
Edited by Karen Stabiner
This guide for reading groups and others was not authorized or approved by the author, publisher or agent for the book. It is copyrighted by Janice Harayda and is only for your personal use. Its sale or reproduction is illegal except by public libraries, which may reproduce it for use in their in-house reading programs.

A professor of family studies recently told the Washington Post that the idea of the empty-nest syndrome has been pretty much debunked by scholars. But the departure of children still packed an emotional wallop for many of the 31 parents who describe their experiences in the essay collection The Empty Nest, edited by Karen Stabiner. The contributors to the book include men and women, married and single parents and little-known authors and celebrities such as syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman and novelist and journalist Anna Quindlen.
Hyperion/Voice has posted a brief readers' guide to The Empty Nest at www.everywomansvoice.com that you may want to use at a starting point for your discussions. But like most publishers' guides, that guide is part of a publicity campaign designed to sell books. It does not encourage criticism, cite negative reviews or suggest that you compare the novel to others on similar topics. For these reasons, the Hyperion/Voice guide may have less depth or promote a less lively conversation than you or your group would prefer. The following Totally Unauthorized Reading Group Guide is not intended to be comprehensive but to raise questions not covered by the Hyperion/Voice guide.
Questions for Readers
[Page numbers are based on the advance readers' edition and may differ in the final version.]
1. Many experts have come to see the empty-nest syndrome as myth. Do you agree or disagree with them? How did the book affect your view of this issue?
2. If you agree with the experts who say that the negative effects of the empty nest were exaggerated, why do you think they were exaggerated?
3. Some researchers have found that effects of the empty nest are actually worse for fathers than for mothers. One reason is that women expect to face big changes when children leave home and start planning – and even grieving – before this happens. Men are less likely to prepare for the loss. So they are more likely to be emotionally blindsided by the departure. How do these findings jibe with your experiences and those of people you know?
4. A reviewer for the New York Times Book Review said that The Empty Nest "probably is an exercise in creative catharsis" for the contributors. What do you think the reviewer meant? Was the comment a criticism or compliment? ["Get Out. No, Wait, Come Back!" By Liesl Schillinger. The New York Times Book Review, April 8, 2007 pp. 9–10.]
5. Anna Quindlen says that the women of her generation "professionalized" mothering – for example, by sometimes "making motherhood into a surrogate work world." At the same time, she adds, "Motherhood changed from a role into a calling." What's your reaction to this? Who saw motherhood as more of a "calling," you or your mother (or grandmother)?
6. Quindlen also says that because of all the "professionalization" of mothering, "the empty nest is emptier than ever before." Do you agree or disagree? Which generation had a harder time when children left home, yours or your parents'?
7. Marriages often break up when a nest empties, because some parents "stay together for the sake of the children." Yet not one marriage in The Empty Next seems to have taken a major hit. Did you find this realistic or true to the experiences of women you know? Or did you get the sense that some writers were "spinning" their stories? Or that Stabiner had looked for a certain kind of person for the book?
8. Ellen Goodman writes that she used to think that mothers who had jobs outside the home "might avoid the cliché of the empty-nest syndrome." Now that she's in her 60s, she doubts it. What's your view of this? How does having a job outside the home affect (or not affect) a parent's reactions to children's departures?
9. Ellen Levine said that she once found herself "whining" that her son didn't call as much to talk to her. Some people might say that a lot of parents in The Empty Nest are whining. How did this affect the book? Would it have been stronger if Stabiner had included more writers who didn't talk so much about their pain? Or were their comments appropriate?
10. One brave contributor, Jan Constantine, admitted that she was actually relieved when her daughter Elizabeth left for the University of Wisconsin. Or, as she put it: "I don't know which of the two of us, Elizabeth or I, was more relieved to see the other one leave." [Page 200] Why do you think more parents didn't make similar comments? Do you think that they weren't relieved or just felt they shouldn't say it?
If you dare:
11. Letty Cottin Pogrebin says that one of the things she learned about the empty nest is: "You lose a kid, you gain a sex life." True or false?
12. Nora Ephron writes briefly about her own empty nest in "Parenting in Three Stages," an essay in I Feel Bad About My Neck (Knopf, 2006). "If you find yourself nostalgic for the ongoing, day-to-day activities required of the modern parent, there's a solution: Get a dog," she says. "I don't recommend it, because dogs require tremendous commitment, but they definitely give you something to do. Plus they're very lovable and, more important, uncritical. And they can be trained." [Page 64] Glib as it might seems to be, this comment makes a subtle point: Sometimes what we feel when children leave home is pure nostalgia. What's your reaction to this? How does it compare to the tone of The Empty Nest? If you've read I Feel Bad About My Neck, which book do you think had more value for empty-nesters?

22 bodies counted at Ukraine plane crash site
GRABOVO, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine said a passenger plane carrying 295 people was shot down Thursday as it flew over the country, and both the government and the pro-Russia separatists fighting in the region denied any responsibility for downing the plane.
As plumes of black smoke rose up near a rebel-held village of Grabovo in eastern Ukraine, an Associated Press journalist counted at least 22 bodies at the crash site 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Russian border.
The plane appeared to have broken up before impact and the burning wreckage — which included body parts and the belongings of passengers — was scattered over a wide area.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called the downing an act of terrorism and called for an international investigation into the crash.
The village of Grabovo is currently under the control of the separatists and the area has seen severe fighting between the two sides in recent days.
Malaysia Airlines confirmed that it received notification from Ukrainian aviation authorities that it had lost contact with flight MH17 at 1415 GMT some 30 kilometers (20 miles) from Tamak waypoint, approximately 50 km (30 miles) from the Russia-Ukraine border.
It said the plane had 280 passengers and 15 crew aboard a Boeing 777 that left Amsterdam at 12.15 p.m. and was to arrive at Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 6.10 a.m. Friday.
Anton Gerashenko, an adviser to Ukraine's interior minister, said on his Facebook page the plane was flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters (33,000 feet). He said it was hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher, which can fire missiles up to an altitude of 22,000 meters (72,000 feet).
The Malaysia Airlines plane is a Boeing 777-200ER, which was delivered to Malaysia Airlines on July 30, 1997, according to Flightglobal's Ascend Online Fleets, which sells and tracks information about aircraft. It has more than 43,000 hours of flight time and 6,950 takeoffs and landings.
Poroshenko said his country's armed forces didn't shoot at any airborne targets.
"We do not exclude that this plane was shot down, and we stress that the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not take action against any airborne targets," he said. "We are sure that those who are guilty in this tragedy will be held responsible."
Separatist leader Andrei Purgin told The Associated Press that he was certain that Ukrainian troops had shot the plane down but gave no explanation or proof for his statement.
Purgin said he did not know whether rebel forces owned Buk missile launchers, but said even if they did, they had no fighters capable of operating it.
A launcher similar to the Buk missile system was seen by Associated Press journalists earlier Thursday near the eastern Ukrainian town of Snizhne, which is held by the rebels.
It was the second time that a Malaysia Airlines plane was lost in less than six months. Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared in March while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. It has not been found, but the search has been concentrated in the Indian Ocean far west of Australia.
There have been disputes over planes being shot down earlier in the region.
On Wednesday evening, a Ukrainian fighter jet was shot down by an air-to-air missile from a Russian plane, Ukrainian authorities said Thursday, adding to what Kiev says is mounting evidence that Moscow is directly supporting the separatist insurgents. Security Council spokesman Andrei Lysenko said the pilot of the Sukhoi-25 jet hit by the air-to-air missile was forced to bail after his jet was shot down.
Pro-Russia rebels, meanwhile, claimed responsibility for strikes Wednesday on two Ukrainian Sukhoi-25 jets. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said the second jet was hit by a portable surface-to-air missile, but added the pilot was unscathed and managed to land his plane safely
Moscow denies Western charges that is supporting the separatists or sowing unrest in its neighbor. The Russian Defense Ministry couldn't be reached for comment Thursday about the Ukrainian jet being shot down.
Earlier this week, Ukraine said a military transport plane was shot down Monday by a missile fired from Russian territory.
Other passenger planes have been shot down before including:
— April 20, 1978: Korean Airlines Flight 902, which diverted from its planned course on a flight from Paris to Seoul and strayed over the Soviet Union. After being fired upon by an interceptor aircraft, the crew made a forced landing at night on the surface of a frozen lake. Two of the 97 passengers were killed by the hostile fire.
— Sept. 1, 1983: Korean Air Lines Flight 007 shot down by at least one Soviet air-to-air missile after the 747 had strayed into Soviet airspace. All 240 passengers and 29 crew were killed.
— July 3, 1988: Iran Air Flight 655 Aircraft was shot down by a surface to air missile from the American naval vessel U.S.S. Vincennes. All 16 crew and 274 passengers were killed.
Leonard reported from Kiev, Ukraine. Contributing to this report were AP Airlines Writer Scott Mayerowitz in New York; Jill Lawless and Matthew Knight in London; Laura Mills and Jim Heintz in Moscow, and Eileen Ng and Satish Cheney in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Reading that document on Macromedia's site gives me light.
It says, swf format only supports quadratic beziers, what less accurate than cubic beziers, but easy to render fast. I think, in swf file's beziers are quadratic interpolation of better looking quadratic beziers. Threshold value drives this accuracy (more control nodes, bigger files)

The Super Bowl may have tested the faith of Giants and Patriots fans this week, but it tested my ability to reread some of my favorite books about faith that I would have liked to write about this week. (How often does the home team play in the NFL championship when you live in New Jersey?) The books I might have gotten back to if the Giants had lost in the playoffs include two great novels, Willa Cather's Death Comes for The Archbishop and Georges Bernanos's Diary of a Country Priest, and the spiritual autobiography of the 20th century's most famous Trappist, Thomas Merton's The Seven-Storey Mountain. I hope to write more later in the year about these classics, all about clergy who face tests of faith. For now I'll just note that Cather's novel recently has appeared in a new Virago Modern Classics edition, which has an introduction by A.S. Byatt.

Crime Magazine's Review of True-Crime Books
Identity is a tricky thing. That name, that birthdate, and all those other details allegedly marking you as whom you claim to be are recorded on documents, in files, on cards, and in the archives of every institution from your bank to the church where you were baptized. But we live in a highly mobile society, amid dazzlingly adept technology. In an era when any image can be Photoshopped and even a world leader's birth certificate can be called into question by a large sector of the population, identity becomes a matter of trust. Who are you? Who am I? Why should we believe each other? When it comes to crime, the issue of identity looms large. Countless criminals strive to elude justice under false identities. The subject of one of this column's books, a small-town scammer who passed himself off as a Rockefeller, shifted identities for 30 years before running out of false names and false faces. The killers detailed in another of these books learned hard lessons about identity as their own effluent, left on their victims decades ago, reached out of the past to scream: It was him. It was him.

The Thames Torso Murders, by M.J. Trow (Wharncliffe, 2011): The great river that bisects London has been many things to many people. To Victorian day-trippers, its upper reaches were all about "endless sunshine, punts, pleasure steamers and cream teas. The dress is swirling parasols and bustles, straw boaters and striped blazers." But in that same era, the river and its banks were also home to seedy taverns, dangerous factories, feculent slaughterhouses — and a large number of female body parts. Who deftly, decisively dismembered these women? Trow has his theories. Jack the Ripper was not Victorian London's only never-identified, much less apprehended, serial killer.
A Siberian Education: Growing Up in a Criminal Underworld, by Nicolai Lilin (W.W. Norton, 2011): Originally published in Italy, where the author now runs a tattoo studio, this riveting memoir unveils a violent yet deeply spiritual and wildly superstitious society that most of us never knew existed. "By the age of 13," Lilin writes, "Siberian boys often have a criminal record" — usually for racketeering, murder or attempted murder: skills they learn from their loving elders. Juvenile-prison stints are "seen as important, even fundamental, to the formation of the individual's character" in a culture where loyalty is all. Lilin's eloquent, gore-streaked saga is lit with startling humor.
DNA Crime Investigations: Solving Murder and Serious Crime Through DNA and Modern Forensics, by Stepen Wade (Wharncliffe, 2009): Sooner or later, science will get you. That's the moral of these nearly two dozen true tales of UK cold cases that DNA evidence reheated to flashpoint. Crime historian Wade brings urgency to his accounts of decades-old puzzlers such as the 1977 World's End killings, the 1975 Lesley Molseed slaying, and the 1980s reign of terror of Yorkshire's trophy-collecting "Shoe Rapist." He relishes adding codas in which traces of body fluids left behind long ago leads to the arrests of gray-haired grandfathers who thought they'd gotten away with murder.
Shattered, by Kathryn Casey (Harper, 2010): Belinda Lucas Temple was a young small-town Texas mother, wife, teacher, daughter, twin. Kind and compassionate, always ready with a hug or a cheer-up joke, Belinda was a firm friend to her colleagues, her students, and her fellow football coaches' wives. Everyone loved Belinda — except her husband, former football star David Temple, who was convicted of the brutal 1999 murder in which a shotgun blast blew off Belinda's face in her own bedroom closet, and also killed the baby to whom she would have given birth within days. Casey brings all the participants in this tragedy, both heroic and villainous, vividly to life.
The Man in the Rockefeller Suit: The Astonishing Rise and Spectacular Fall of a Serial Impostor, by Mark Seal (Viking, 2011): The square-jawed smoothie lounging in Boston's chichi Algonquin Club: Everyone knew this Yale-grad,Wall Street insider as Clark Rockefeller, of the Rockefellers. Who was he really? As investigators learned after the rip-roaring abduction which with this fascinating book begins, the alleged somebody was actually a nobody, a small-town German immigrant who scammed upper-crust Americans for decades. Christian Gerhartsreiter, aka Christopher Mountbatten Chichester, aka Christopher Crowe, aka Chip Smith, was a man with a plan. Authorities say that plan included a 1985 murder.

GOLDEN TRIANGLE, THAILAND - DECEMBER 9: Mahout's wives Niang (L) and Lynda (R) pick out coffee beans from elephant dung at an elephant camp at the Anantara Golden Triangle resort on December 9, 2012 in Golden Triangle, northern Thailand. Black Ivory Coffee, started by Canadian coffee expert Blake Dinkin, is made from Thai arabica hand picked beans. The coffee is created from a process whereby coffee beans are naturally refined by a Thai elephant. It takes about 15-30 hours for the elephant to digest the beans, and later they are plucked from their dung and washed and roasted. Approximately 10,000 beans are picked to produce 1kg of roasted coffee. At USD 1,100 per kilogram or USD 500 per pound, the cost per serving of the elephant coffee equals USD 50, making the exotic new brew the world's priciest. It takes 33 kilograms of raw coffee cherries to produce 1 kilo of Black Ivory Coffee. (Photo by Paula Bronstein/Getty Images)

Norwegian browser developer Opera has announced that it is going to end the use of its own rendering engine, Presto. Over the course of 2013 the company will switch its browser products to use WebKit, the rendering engine used in Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome. Specifically, Opera says that it will base future software on Chromium, Google's open source project that contains most, but not all, of the code used in Chrome.
Opera will show a preview of its first Chromium-based smartphone browser at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona later this month.
The browser company, which boasts of having 300 million users, says that it has already made its first contribution to WebKit: a set of patches to make WebKit's handling of CSS columns as capable as Presto's.
Opera's announcement didn't provide any explicit reason for switching. Opera CTO Håkon Wium Lie said that WebKit had good support for standards and good performance, but the same is true of Presto. Opera has stuck it out with its own engine for this long; why switch now?
While unstated, the reason is likely to be the growing WebKit monoculture, especially on the mobile platforms where Opera is most widely used. Android and iOS both use WebKit-powered browsers. Content on the mobile Web is widely designed for WebKit alone, and many sites depend explicitly on WebKit-proprietary features. This is often the case even when standard, browser-independent equivalent features are available. The result of this is that Opera users can be left behind, faced with sites that don't display correctly—even though, with a modicum of care and attention on the part of Web developers, the content should work fine.
Opera could have gone the route that Microsoft has chosen, trying to educate Web developers and providing tools to make cross-platform testing and development easier, but perhaps the company was familiar with Norwegian king Cnut the Great's demand to the tide that it cease rising, and felt that asking Web developers to stick to standards was similarly futile. Historically, the company has tried to do just this, but its success at influencing real Web developers has been limited; for all the emphasis placed on standards, many developers don't, in practice, care about them.
Mozilla developer Robert O'Callahan expressed disappointment with Opera's decision, saying that it was a "sad day for the Web" and suggesting that Opera might find its ability to influence Web standards reduced. He also said that it makes Mozilla's job harder, as that group too is endeavoring to promote Web standards over "coding to Webkit."
The decision also called to mind the blog post made a year ago by Daniel Glazman, co-chair of the World Wide Web Consortium's CSS Working Group, imploring developers to use standards and not make WebKit and its features a monopoly.
