Ten years after their break up, a woman showed up on her ex-boyfriend's porch in New Haven, Connecticut demanding $20, according to New Haven police.
When police responded and charged her with first-degree criminal trespass and second-degree breach of peace, they served her with four outstanding warrants.
Police arrived on the scene after a complaint was made and a 53-year-old man told officers he has been trying in vain to get his ex-girlfriend to leave him alone.
The two broke up in 2003, according to police, and Carol Ann Mansfield, 44, of Waterbury, Conn., showed up on her ex-boyfriend's front porch Thursday morning, yelling and demanding $20, according to police.
He told her over and over again to leave, which just made her angry, according to police.
Then, he gave her the money to avoid further disruption for his neighbors and to preserve his failing health, according to a news release.
Mansfield was served with four outstanding warrants with charges including; third-degree criminal mischief, three counts of first-degree criminal trespassing, eight counts of second-degree failing to appear in court, use of a motor vehicle without permission, three counts of probation violation and second-degree threatening.

Baxter triples twice, Schwinden wins
Mike Baxter hit his first two triples as a Bison, scoring twice as the Bisons claimed a 9-6 win in the opener of a two-game road series with the Rochester Red Wings.
The win extends a winning streak to four games and gives Buffalo an 8-5 season series lead over Rochester.
In his third game back with the Bisons, Fernando Martinez rocked a two-run home run in the second inning.
However the Rochester offense quickly answered Martinez in the bottom of the inning with a two-run Chase Lambin double.
Toby Gardenhire then claimed the Wings' only lead against starter Chris Schwinden with a single to knock in Lambin.
Josh Satin extended his hit streak to nine games and tied the game on a third-inning RBI single, scoring Baxter after Baxter's first Buffalo triple.
The next inning, Nick Evans reclaimed the lead for Buffalo on a long home run over Frontier Field's left field bullpen.
Jeff Bailey tied the game yet again, at 4-4, in the sixth inning with his own solo homer.
Rochester starter Andrew Baldwin left after six innings with the game still tied as Jake Stevens pitched the seventh.
With Luis Hernandez on first, Ruben Tejada attempted to bunt the runner to second, but catcher Rene Rivera's errant throw to first base allowed Hernandez to race all the way home as Tejada took third.
Raul Chavez made it a two-run cushion on a sacrifice fly before Baxter's second triple and Satin's second RBI single.
Schwinden also left after six innings, allowing four earned runs on six hits and earning the win. The righthander struck out six to four walks.
Stevens allowed four runs (one earned) on five hits in one inning of work.
Valentino Pascucci went 3-for-5 with a run scored.
Rochester's Mike Hollimon cut the lead to 9-6 with a two-run ninth-inning homer against Taylor Tankersley. Closer Dale Thayer recorded the final out, an Aaron Bates fly out to right fielder Jesus Feliciano.
Game Notes: Baxter is the first Bison with two triples in one game since Jason Cooper on August 4, 2007 in Scranton… Over the season series, Buffalo has 16 home runs to Rochester's seven… Schwinden, 7-5, leads the Bisons in wins with Pat Misch second at two.

Prince William and his lady love Kate Middleton were together in public for the first time since they announced their engagement.
The couple attended a charity event for cancer in Norfolk, England last night, The Associated Press reported. They were greeted by people as they walked into the Thursford Christmas Spectacular. William and Middleton also met with several young cancer patients in the intermission.
Middleton was described as wearing a black and white dress and a dark jacket as well as high heels. "She looked absolutely beautiful," eyewitness Sophie Pinsent told the AP. "She was really lovely and they looked so happy together, so it was really nice. I thought it was so exciting."
The bride-to-be had previously lunched with Queen Elizabeth II and her party last week at Buckingham Palace.
"Between now and the wedding there will be occasions when Catherine does shadow Prince William, to learn the ropes and see how things go," a palace source told People magazine.
The money generated from last night's charity event will go fund a Cambridge hospital's cancer unit.

From today through Saturday, select Asymptote staff will be continuing our annual tradition of looking back on the year—specifically through the lens of literary discovery. First to go is Chief Executive Assistant Theophilus Kwek, who recently placed Second in the 2016 Stephen Spender Prize for Poetry in Translation.
It's hard to imagine where we were a year ago: on the brink of a nuclear deal in Iran, standing firmly in Europe, and with a cluster of literary titans—including Elie Wiesel, Umberto Eco, Harper Lee, Max Ritvo and Leonard Cohen—to light the road ahead. The intervening months have taken us around blind corners that will, undoubtedly, take many more months to comprehend.
For many, however, that tumultuous journey has been more than metaphorical. From stories of asylum-seekers defying death to reach the Arctic Circle town of Neiden, to weekly reports of dangerous boat journeys across the Mediterranean Sea or the Bay of Bengal, we've been confronted this year by the brutal realities faced en route by 65.3 million displaced people worldwide, including 21.3 million refugees. The figures are mind-boggling on their own, but it's another thing to remember that each statistic represents a fellow human who has braved trials we could never begin to understand.
Or can we? My 2016 has brought—along with border-crossing award-winners like Han Kang's The Vegetarian (translated by Deborah Smith), Sarah Howe's Loop of Jade, and Vahni Capildeo's Measures of Expatriation—a selection of powerful work bearing witness to the refugee experience, both by refugees themselves, and those involved first-hand in the asylum process. More than before, I am convinced that there are ways that we, as readers and writers, can know and share in these journeys. And in a publishing climate that remains overwhelmingly first-world, settled, and white, the least we can do (with our wealth and our words) is choose to look outside those brackets. READ MORE…

Equine Therapy Volunteer Projects in Bolivia
- Placement locations: Cochabamba
- Role: To look after the horses and help the children and adults learn to ride.
- Type of Placement: Equine therapy centre
- Accommodation: Host family
- Price: From
- What's included? Food, accommodation, transfers to and from our specified airport,transport to and from work where required, insurance, personal webpage, induction and orientation, 24/7 support
- What's not included? Flights, visa costs, spending money
- Length of placement: From 2 weeks
- Start dates: Flexible
Our Equine Therapy project in Bolivia combines elements of both our Care work and Animal Care projects, and is open to volunteers taking a gap year, career break, or even a volunteer holiday. You do not need any specific experience to volunteer on this project; however volunteers will be involved in both looking after the horses and also caring for the children - so having a love for both horses and children on this project is a must!
Projects Abroad volunteers work with the Escuela de Equinoterapia Cochabamba, which started in 1992 with the aim of helping disabled children both emotionally, physically and mentally. The centre has the capacity to look after over 80 children from all different backgrounds. In addition to working with disabled children they also receive children from the streets and children with drug addictions.
A trained horse can aid the recovery of children with disabilities, as it enables the child to focus on movement, spatial orientation, posture, language and muscle control. Children who have come from the streets or who have suffered from drug addictions form close emotional bonds with the horses allowing them slowly to take on a new focus and more responsibilities before re-entering into society.
Volunteering abroad with horses on the Equine Therapy Project in Bolivia
Your role will vary each day, offering a diverse range of experiences and work to get involved in. The effect of the therapy varies with each child; however, by displaying enthusiasm and a passion for horses you can play a part in their enjoyment and help to create a positive experience for every student. Your very presence will help to make each session enjoyable - which is vital to maintaining the interest of the children.
It is also important that you spend time with the horses warming them up and preparing them for the children when the session begins. For many of the new children joining the centre it will be the first time they come in contact with a horse and time is often spent familiarising the children with each of the horses before therapy begins. Finally, you will receive regular contact with the children and attend the classes and spend time learning the theory behind the therapy. Volunteers will work Monday to Friday. Volunteers will spend the Mondays grooming the horses, riding the horses that are not often used and help clean the placement.
Volunteers are not required to speak Spanish, as the placement staff can all speak English. A certain level of Spanish, though, will be an advantage when communicating with the children and their families. You will receive guidance not only from the Projects Abroad staff, but also from your supervisor at the centre.
You can join the Equine Therapy project in Bolivia for two or three weeks if you don't have time to join us for four weeks or more. This project has been selected by our local colleagues as being suitable for short term volunteering for both the host community and the volunteer. Although you will gain a valuable cultural insight and work intensely within the local community please be aware that you may not be able to make the same impact as someone volunteering for a longer period.

One of the new additions to the bullpen this season is Robert Manuel, a 26 year old Texan who made his M.L. debut with the Reds in 2009. Manuel's off to a great start. "I wanted to get off to a good start at Spring Training, and carry it over to the season. I think I've done that, capitalizing on the opportunities I've been given by the coaches, to show what I can do." The numbers so far, back him up. In 6 appearances (7 innings pitched) Manuel (0.00 ERA) has not surrendered a run. He is 1-0 and 1-1 in save opportunities. He has been stingy, scattering five hits with no walks and 6 strikeouts. "It's very important to get off to a good start (with a new organization), you don't want to give the impression to them that they made a mistake getting you. Hopefully I can continue this throughout the year."
Manuel appeared in his first Big League game last July with Cincinnati. The debut coincided with his birthday and that made it even better, although he says he didn't know it at the time. "It was pretty crazy. I didn't think about it until I was on the bus after the game. People were telling me it was my birthday. I really didn't have any clue beacuse the last couple of days had been pretty crazy. It was very special making my debut on my birthday. I couldn't ask for anything more." In three games with Cincy, Manuel worked 4.1 innings and didn't allow a single run, giving up just 5 hits. It was the realization of a dream. "All the hard work and dedication. All the people that helped me behind the scenes that don't get credit. I get all the credit for what I do on the field, but there are a lot of people who deserve the recognition." Manuel added he had a slight regret about the debut. "I wish we could have won the game, but I threw a couple of scoreless innings out there."
In his brief tenure, he was befriended by veteran pitcher Aaron Harang of the Reds. Incredibly to Robert, one day Harang called him and invited him to the mall for a shopping spree, on him. "He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He took some of the rookies out and bought us some clothes. He told us that someone had done it for him when he was a rookie. It's hard when you get your first callup. You don't know if you'll be here tomorrow, so you don't want to spend a lot of money. Financially, he helped us out, getting us the right clothes. We bonded. It seems that nowadays it's tough for the veterans to relate to the young guys. Age, and the times…it was hard, but you know it was fun. A really good experience." Manuel added that he hopes to pay it forward. "I'd like, someday to do that for a rookie myself."
Manuel has a great sense of humor and says that he used his time at Spring Training to bond with his new teammates in Fort Myers. "It was very important. I get to know them, they get to know me a little bit, my personality. It's good to get to know the guys on your team. Get a feel for where they are, pick their brain a little bit, they pick mine too. Feed off that a little bit and take that into a game."
In 2008, while with the Mariners organization, Milb.com recognized Manuel as the "best relief pitcher " in all of minor league baseball. Manuel was proud of the distinction. "It was amazing. I started off strong in the Spring and carried it to the season. I had a lot of people to attribute that to. (Pitching Coach and former major leaguer) Chris Bosio really helped me with the mental side of the game. The physical side has always been there. The mental approach, finding the right routine that worked for me. I never really pay attention to the numbers. I focus on keeping my team in the game with the innings I'm given. The award was really just icing on the cake."
He has continued that solid approach and has become a "go to" guy for Torey Lovullo.

Games Convention in Leipzig isn't all about having fun, cosplaying, and trying out upcoming video games. There are also plenty of traumatic events going on as well, such as the poor folks at SouthPeak Games, who came to the show this morning to let people sample their fine DS lineup only to find that all of their DS systems had been stolen. I was so shocked at the news I had to go outside to get a cigarette. Yes, I know I quit a few months ago, but this is me from a past when I am still smoking, having jumped to the future to warn myself about the screaming Asian man, only it was too late.As I was standing there an ambulance pulls up, with medical technicians rushing into the building. A couple of minutes later they come up with an Asian teen writhing about in the stretcher, screaming the most blood-curdling scream I've ever heard, over and over again. I saw no blood, and his body looked okay outwardly - he was just screaming nonstop. I waited til they closed the door to snap the picture, out of respect, but even within the sturdy van I could still hear him wailing away. I did ask around to see if anyone knew what happened, but no dice. I am just going to go ahead and assume he got hopped up on speed and attempted to play My Horse and Me 2.

Dustin Pedroia, Red Sox agree to a contract extension
Dustin Pedroia and the Boston Red Sox have agreed to a seven-year contract extension that will keep him in Boston through 2021, a person with direct knowledge of the deal told USA TODAY Sports.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal is not yet finalized. WEEI, which first reported the agreement, said it is worth $100 million and begins after Pedroia's current deal expires following the 2014 season.
Pedroia has been emerging as the face of the Red Sox franchise since his first full season in 2007, when he was named rookie of the year. The following season, he led the league in hits, runs scored and doubles as he made the All-Star Game in the first of four occasions, won the American League MVP, and earned Gold Glove and Silver Slugger honors.
Now in his eighth year with Boston, Pedroia, 29, has shown little sign of slowing down. He's batting .308 and, after battling injuries in recent seasons, has played in all but one of the Red Sox's games. Pedroia signed a six-year, $40.5 million extension in December 2008 that will pay him $10 million in 2014. The new contract eliminates a 2015 club option of $11 million from his previous deal.
He'll be 38 when his extension expires.

The Wild Cards series is being relaunched in the UK by Gollancz with all-new cover artwork.
I must admit, these covers are quite nice. They're not Michael Komarck, but there's some nice understatement to them (er, giant dinosaur aside) and good use of the card motif. It will be interesting to see the covers for the later books.

How wonderful for all seven wild card fans out there!

I am absolutely refusing to read these books until the editor gets his act together regarding his magnum opus - I'm not so bothered about him getting a heart attack before the series is finished, its my own cardiac health I'm starting to worry about - I feel like I've aged 16 years since I started reading his work (and I'm still not sure if he can finish it in just 2 more books)

Closing Arguments Begin In NYPD's 'Stop-And-Frisk' Lawsuit
Closing Arguments Begin In NYPD's 'Stop-And-Frisk' Lawsuit
Robert Siegel talks with Margot Adler about Monday's closing arguments in the lawsuit challenging New York City's controversial "stop and frisk" policy.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Robert Siegel.
The federal class-action trial of a New York City Police Department's Stop-and-Frisk policy wound down today. After nearly 10 weeks of testimony, both sides presented closing arguments.
NPR's Margot Adler was in the courtroom today and she joins us now. And, Margot, tell us how each side presented its case.
MARGOT ADLER, BYLINE: Well, each side had about three hours to sum up weeks of testimony. The question in the trial was really this: Do the almost 4.3 million stops over about eight years - five million over about a decade - of mostly black and Latino men constitute a violation of the Fourth Amendment, unreasonable search and seizure; the 14th Amendment, equal protection. In other words, is this a form of racial profiling, or are they an important and reasonable part of police procedure, insuring New York City as the safest big city in America.
So, Heidi Grossman, the lawyer for the city - the defendant in this case - said there was no indication of racial motivation in the stops. She argued the plaintiffs only had 12 witnesses that were involved in 19 stops. And that most were based on reasonable suspicion - oh, a bulge in their pants, indicating perhaps a weapon, furtive movements, description of clothing that matched a suspect the police were looking for, being in a high crime area.
And she argued in most cases they consented to the search, which the plaintiffs' lawyers completely - had a completely different position. And that race was mentioned only one or two times. That they were mostly patted down. They were not really searched. She argued you had to find race-based discrimination and intent to do that in at least one plaintiff, and that that had not been achieved by the plaintiffs.
The city argued also that the claim that police were pushed to achieve quotas. That, in fact, they were simply performance goals that were necessary to counteract the police disincentives to danger, that as being risk averse, and that most officers only stopped a few people a month.
Plaintiffs' lawyers argued that the notion of furtive movements, a bulge in a pocket was used as a proxy for reasonable suspicion, that less than two percent of the stops uncovered any weapons or contraband1. And only - get this - 0.14 percent found guns - almost random. They argued that the stops laid waste to black communities, instilled fear; that pressure to increase numbers constituted quotas. And that combined with bad training and monitoring, this was all a disaster. And they argued that race was a factor in many of the 19 incidents, may be all.
SIEGEL: So, that's what the lawyers had to say I gather the judge also had some questions for both sides. What did she ask them about?
ADLER: Well, she had very pointed questions. She noted, not only the lack of guns and weapons, but she asked if 90 percent of those questioned were neither given summons nor arrested, wasn't that a high error rate. You know, and whether you called it performance goals or quotas, weren't supervisors often pushing up the numbers as some of these tapes provided by whistle blowing police officers certainly seem to indicate. And hadn't the stops increased yearly. And se asked whether many of the stops took place in high crime areas, if that was enough to constitute suspicion.
The plaintiffs want federal monitoring, better supervision. They want more information, more narrative on the forms. The city argues there are enough checks and balances, and that additional monitoring would impede the police in its main goals, stopping crime?
SIEGEL: Margot, tell us a bit how has this case has played out in the politics of New York City?
ADLER: Well. You know, Bloomberg is winding down his three terms...
SIEGEL: This is Michael Bloomberg, the mayor.
ADLER: Yes, the mayor, Mayor Michael Bloomberg. There's already a hot mayoral race, there have already been debates involving six candidates, and Stop-and-Frisk is a hot, hot topic. Mayor Bloomberg and Ray Kelly have defended the policy, saying it's mad the city safe. And many of the mayoral candidates are calling for changes.
SIEGEL: And when can we expect a ruling in this case?
ADLER: Probably not for about 60 days. The transcript is long, the judge could order changes. Whatever happens, there will definitely be an appeal. And this trial has opened a lot of interesting ideas and knowledge about the police department.
SIEGEL: OK Thank you, Margot.
ADLER: You're welcome.
SIEGEL: That's NPR's Margot Adler in New York.
BLOCK: And just a reminder that we continue to follow news of the massive tornado that's carved a path of destruction near Oklahoma City. The town of Moore, Oklahoma, population 55,000, appears to have been the hardest hit. Television footage shows huge swaths of the city flattened. We're also trying to confirm reports that two elementary schools were in the storm's path. There's no word yet on casualties. We'll bring you more information as it comes in.

Lawsuit becomes a 'million-document monster' involving Goodyear Tire
Thirteen years after Arizona lawyer David Kurtz agreed to represent accident victims in a lawsuit against Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., a seemingly routine lawsuit has morphed into a million-document monster that has called into question the integrity of America's largest tire maker.
It also has illustrated how secret settlements can keep the public in the dark about potentially deadly hazards, and it has consumed Kurtz's career.
Kurtz's clients were four members of a family who were traveling in a motor home in 2003 when the Goodyear tire on their right front wheel suddenly lost its tread, leading to a high-speed, single-vehicle crash. They were seriously injured.
It turned out that their lawsuit would be among dozens filed for people injured or killed in wrecks involving a specialty Goodyear tire.
It was a tire designed for stop-and-go urban delivery trucks. But it also fit large motor homes. Goodyear sold between 40,000 and 50,000 of the tires for that purpose.
Goodyear decided motor homes were a suitable market, despite its own lab tests showing that the tire could overheat so badly during extended highway travel that it might lose its tread. After Goodyear was sued, its lawyers didn't share those results with Kurtz, even though court rules and professional ethics required them to.
By concealing the tests, a federal district judge and an appeals panel found, Goodyear cheated Kurtz's clients out of their opportunity for a fair trial, and the company escaped with a secret low-ball settlement that likely saved Goodyear millions of dollars.
Goodyear declined a request to tell its side of the story in depth for this article and would not allow its tire experts or attorneys to be interviewed. But it issued a statement that it "continue[s] to believe'' that the tire, known as the G159, is defect-free and safe for use on motor homes.
Goodyear, the statement said, "has a robust process for identifying potential safety-related defects in its products. We continuously monitor the manufacturing process and the performance of our products in the field. When potential issues or trends are identified, they are raised to the appropriate individuals and action is taken as necessary."
A year after that 2010 settlement, Kurtz learned by happenstance the truth of Goodyear's deception.
Ever since, Kurtz has made calling Goodyear to account his personal calling.
He abandoned the rest of his law practice so that he could focus all of his energy on trying to prove that Goodyear harmed his clients and scores of others by irresponsibly allowing a tire it knew could be dangerous to remain on the road.
He returned to the courtroom and persuaded the judge to impose a jaw-dropping, albeit still unpaid, $2.7 million in sanctions on Goodyear and its attorneys. The judge agreed that deliberate corporate decisions were made to violate court rules and legal ethics by hiding evidence.
Kurtz then used those findings to launch a spinoff of his clients' original lawsuit, this time accusing Goodyear and its lawyers of fraud. That lawsuit was settled last year on secret terms.
Meanwhile, Kurtz won court permission to use sealed documents from 13 of the 41 known lawsuits over injuries and deaths attributed to the tire's failures on motor homes to spark an ongoing investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which regulates the safety of vehicles and tires. It is not clear when the probe will be completed.
The nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, co-founded by consumer activist Ralph Nader, also was allowed to enter the case to represent the public's interest. Goodyear is appealing both decisions, but says it is fully cooperating with the probe. NHTSA did not respond to a written request for comment.
Kurtz is now trying to interest federal prosecutors in pursuing criminal charges against the company and its attorneys. "Goodyear's misconduct is so egregious in my mind that the need for punishment is obvious," he said.
Statistics that Goodyear produced recently under court order can be interpreted to show that the G159, when used on motor homes, is the most failure-prone tire in recent history. It is linked to at least 10 deaths, 88 injuries, hundreds of property damage claims and thousands of warranty adjustments.
Goodyear stopped producing the tire for motor homes 15 years ago and it is unknown how many may remain in service. The tire was intended to last 100,000 miles and, if re-grooved, 300,000.
Kurtz dismisses arguments that his pursuit of Goodyear is so dated that it has lost relevance.
Not for his clients, he says. Some of them still wake up every day in chronic pain.
The Clients
Kurtz's clients were Leroy Haeger, a 70-year-old retired electrician; Haeger's wife, Donna, 69; their son, Barry, 45; and his wife, Suzanne, 42. All four were riding in Haeger's four-year-old Gulf Stream Coach motor home just outside the small city of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.
The right front tire, original equipment on Haeger's 38-foot-long motor home, suddenly lost its tread. Haeger quickly lost control of the 15-ton vehicle, which veered sharply to the right, off the highway and onto a patch of desert, where it overturned and skidded to a stop on its side.
Haeger was pinned in the driver's seat, his lower leg so badly mangled that it would require 17 surgeries. His son, riding beside him, managed to extricate himself from the crumpled vehicle. Haeger's wife and daughter-in-law, who were riding in the rear, were trapped, buried under debris. As was the case with Haeger, rescue workers had to cut through wreckage to free them.
Haeger and his wife were airlifted to a hospital. Haeger's wife had a broken jaw, teeth, wrist, foot, ribs and toes. Her Achilles tendon was also severed and she is said to suffer from chronic pain. The Haegers' daughter-in-law had a crushed arm and also remains in chronic pain.
First Tire Case
When he took their case, Kurtz was 49 and had broad experience in civil litigation. He said he had spent 18 years at one of Arizona's largest firms, mainly defending corporations and insurers. Then he went into business for himself as a plaintiff's lawyer. At his law practice's peak, he said he employed 10 attorneys.
But they are gone—casualties of his decision seven years ago to devote his entire practice to the Goodyear case.
It was Kurtz's first case involving a tire. He set out to educate himself on tire safety by reading a two-volume set of technical reports written by tire experts, including some from Goodyear. The reports were published by NHTSA, the regulatory agency.
One observation seemed to jump from the pages as he read the reports. There seemed to be a consensus among experts that, as one of them put it, "Heat is the great enemy of tires."
This intrigued Kurtz. Goodyear had designed the G159 for delivery trucks, which tended to travel short distances at moderate speeds, conditions not expected to generate much heat.
But Goodyear had marketed the tire for use on large motor homes like Haeger's, which tended to cover long distances at highway speeds, conditions likely to generate much more heat.
A Hypothesis and a Roadblock
Kurtz developed a hypothesis that Haeger's tire failed because it was exposed to too much heat. He set out in pretrial discovery, when parties in a lawsuit exchange information, to test his theory.
Goodyear claimed that heat played no role in the failure of Haeger's tire. It argued that the tire had been fatally weakened sometime earlier when Haeger had struck road debris—an event Haeger testified never occurred.
Kurtz deposed Goodyear's experts and asked them how hot this tire would have to get before its tread would be in danger of falling away. Their answer was more than 200 degrees.
Kurtz then asked Goodyear to produce results of any laboratory tests showing how hot the tire actually got at sustained highway speeds.
That's where he hit a roadblock.
Goodyear's lawyers balked at handing over results of such tests and engaged in what an appeals court justice later described as intellectual dishonesty to mislead the judge into believing they had already disclosed to Kurtz whatever relevant tests they had.
A Safety Researcher Rides to the Rescue
There was little Kurtz could do about this misrepresentation at the time. When he protested, U.S. District Court Judge Roslyn Silver made it clear that she trusted Goodyear's local counsel, Graeme Hancock, a shareholder in what many considered Phoenix's most prestigious law firm, Fennemore Craig, to behave honorably and disclose all relevant evidence.
On the day in 2010 the lawsuit was finally set for trial, Kurtz still lacked the test results he had by then been requesting for five years. Rather than go to trial without enough evidence, Kurtz's clients agreed to a secret settlement with Goodyear.
That is where this story likely would have ended were it not for the work of independent safety researcher Sean Kane, who had been tracking another G159 tire case in Florida and had decided to write about it on his website, safetyresearch.net. An auto industry blog, jalopnik.com, also has reported extensively on the issue.
The Florida case was the only G159 lawsuit known to have gone to a trial. The year after Kurtz's case settled, a jury awarded the accident victims in the Florida case $5.6 million.
Following the verdict, the protective order sealing evidence in the Florida case lapsed. It was soon reinstated when the plaintiffs agreed to a secret settlement with Goodyear in return for Goodyear's promise not to appeal the jury verdict. But during the lapse, Kane assembled a list of test results Goodyear had disclosed under court orders in that case.
Kurtz recalled being floored to read that Goodyear had produced in the Florida case the very tests that he had repeatedly requested, but that Goodyear had never turned over.
Returning to the Courtroom
Kurtz returned to Judge Silver's courtroom to ask her to sanction Goodyear and its attorneys for their deception.
She acknowledged that she had grown exasperated at Kurtz because his "repeated attempts to cast aspersions on Mr. Hancock appeared misguided. Of course, now that Goodyear has been forced to admit additional information does exist, that exasperation was misplaced."
Silver said that if the case had not already been settled, she would punish Goodyear by entering a judgment against it.
Instead, she ordered Goodyear, Hancock and his law firm, another Goodyear lawyer, Basil Musnuff, and Musnuff's Akron, Ohio-based firm, Roetzel & Andress, to pay the Haegers $2.7 million in sanctions.
Musnuff and his firm had been hired by Goodyear to coordinate its responses to all of the G159 lawsuits. He reported to Goodyear's assistant general counsel, Deborah Okey, who, according to court records, had final say on what information Goodyear's lawyers disclosed.
Judge Silver concluded that Hancock, Musnuff and Goodyear made "repeated deliberate decisions to delay the production of relevant information, make misleading and false in-court statements, and conceal relevant documents." Goodyear appealed the sanctions order, and the U.S. Supreme Court has directed the lower court to recalculate the amount.
All three lawyers have left their jobs, and declined to comment.
The director of the Center for Auto Safety, Jason Levine, said that while just somewhat more than 40,000 of the tires were distributed for use on motor homes between 1996 and 2003, Goodyear has acknowledged that more than 3,000 had problems. Most were handled through warranty adjustments, but there were also hundreds of property damage claims and the 98 claims of injuries or deaths.
Failures reported at this high a rate, Levine said, appear to make this "the most dangerous or potentially most dangerous per unit tire that's ever been on the road."

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: And five percent willing to come back for a ring.
LaDainian Tomlinson joined XX 1090 Sports Radio in San Diego with Darren Smith to discuss returning to San Diego to speak about Junior Seau, the hypothetical possibility of returning to play for the San Diego Chargers, his family having a role in his decision to potentially retire, his wife wanting him to continue his career in football and knowing when the time is right to retire.
On returning to San Diego to speak about Junior Seau last Friday:
"Well I appreciate it. Obviously tough circumstances. As I said coming back to San Diego was emotional enough and I wish it was under different circumstances, but nevertheless it was just great to be back."
If the San Diego Chargers called you and said they would be interested in your services what would your reaction be to that?
"I'll be…I don't know to be honest with you. Obviously I would be flattered to have the opportunity to come back, but to be honest with you I am not truly sure what I would say to it because as I mentioned before I'm 95% retired to be honest with you. I haven't thought about going back out and playing football next year. As of right now I am not going back and playing football. It would just have to be something that I would have to think about and talk with my family and just really before I made a decision know that it is the right decision."
What role does family play in your decision to retire or play in the NFL?
"Yeah. I always have an open line of communication with my career and what I am thinking. She [LaDainian Tomlinson's wife] has kind of known my thinking right after the season up until now and that's the way we operate."
Does your wife lean one way or the other for you continuing your career in football?
"I tell you what the thing for her is it's hard for her I think come to grips with something that I played for so long and she knows how much I love it and have a passion for it to be gone like it's no more. I tell her you can't play this game forever. This year or next year? It has to come at some point and so I think she realized that."
Do you kind of understand why it has been so difficult for guys like Brett Favre to retire?
"Yeah. Absolutely. I completely understand because we are trained and structured a certain way to be on the schedule. As football players our bodies know exactly what time of year it is and what we need to be doing. Not only does it make it hard for that transition physically. It makes it hard mentally getting out of that mindset of okay I don't play no more. I don't have to go to the weight room. I don't have to go workout if I don't want to. I am not playing this Sunday. It's hard to get out of that frame of mind when you have been doing it 20-plus years of your life."

While many factors and sources affect water quality, Ohio corn, soybean and wheat farmers want to be part of the solution and do their part to maintain and improve the health of Ohio's waterways. Ohio farmers share the same environmental priorities as their fellow citizens and are committed to doing the right thing for their farms, their families and all Ohioans.
As a result, farmers and other agricultural organizations are investing over $1 million to commission a study to investigate phosphorus use in farming. This three-year project, led by The Ohio State University (OSU), OSU Extension and the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS), will determine how phosphorus is used in agriculture, how it leaves farm fields and how much of it is actually entering Ohio waterways.
How phosphorus moves from fields to waterways has never before been explored in such detail in Ohio.
"Farmers have answered the call to address water quality challenges in the past and they are committed to do so again," said Terry McClure, Ohio farmer from Paulding County. "However, the issues we face with phosphorus today are different than those in the past. That is why research is a vital part of developing the necessary tools for every region, every farm and every watershed."
Equipment has been placed in strategic locations at the edge of farm fields throughout the state to collect continuous and extensive data. OSU scientists will examine previous water quality studies, collect new data and provide farmers the information they need to make the right decisions for the environment and their farms.
Farmer and agricultural organizations that have provided funding for the research include Ohio Corn Marketing Program, the Ohio Soybean Council, Ohio Small Grains Marketing Program, The Andersons, Deerfield Farm Services, DuPont Pioneer, Luckey Farmers Cooperative, Nachurs, Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, Paulding County Farm Bureau, Schlessman Seeds, Trupointe Cooperative and the United Soybean Board.
To date, all funding partners have committed over $1 million to support the project. In 2012, the initial research funding was matched when OSU received a Conservation Innovation Grant of $999,987 from USDA.
"While this research project will provide tools for farmers, it's important to remember there are multiple sources that contribute to the water quality problem that are beyond farmers' control, including private septic systems, urban storm runoff, industrial pollution and municipal waste from failed sewer systems," said Mark Thomas, Ohio farmer from Stark County. "Ohio's corn, soybean and wheat farmers are dedicated to doing their part to improve Ohio's waterways because clean water is everyone's business."

BOSTON, June 7 (UPI) -- Clay Buchholz allowed four hits and recorded the third shutout of his career Thursday to give the Boston Red Sox a 7-0 victory over Baltimore.
Buchholz (6-2) threw 125 pitches in blanking the Orioles, who were shut out for the second time in six games after having scored in every contest through the first two months of the season.
Boston scored twice in each of the first three innings to snap a three-game losing streak. Buchholz did not allow a runner past second base while walking one and striking out six.
Adrian Gonzalez had three of Boston's nine hits and opened the scoring with a two-run double in the first.
The Red Sox scored twice in the second on a throwing error by Baltimore second baseman Robert Andino and Daniel Nava contributed a two-run single in the third.
Brian Matusz (5-6) worked only two innings in taking the loss. He gave up four runs on four hits with five walks.
Buchholz threw a shutout during his rookie season in 2007 and had another one two years ago. This was the fourth complete game of his career.

Fifty-seven future nursing professionals were recognized with their nursing pins after completing Blinn College's highly-regarded Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Program.
The two-year program prepares students for a nursing career and for transfer into a bachelor degree program at a four-year university. Based at the Texas A&M Health Science Center in Bryan, Blinn's faculty works closely with students in a simulated laboratory and in clinical settings.
The Spring 2014 graduating class includes: Bretnie Brantley (College Station), Karen Cabrera (College Station), Amanda Chandler (Bryan), Elisabeth Cloutier (College Station), Alianna R. Davis (College Station), Justine Dean (Brenham), Lindsey Dean (Bryan), Cassie Denman (Iola), Leslie Donovan (College Station), Tish Elliot-Wilkins (College Station), Kayla Fortner (Bryan), Matthew Gaas (College Station), Elaina Goguen (College Station), Sarah Hajj-Ali (College Station), Janie Hart (Brenham), Catherine Kovar (Bryan), Johnna Lasater (Bryan), Young Lee (College Station), Erica Levan (Caldwell), Erica Lewis (Magnolia), Holly Magee (College Station), Shelby McLain (Bryan), Kathleen McLaughlin (College Station), Jodi Miller (Smithville), Lyndsey Miller (Bryan), Jessie Mitchell (College Station), Elizabeth Pena (Bryan), Lance Pena (Bryan), Monica Perez (Bryan), Kodie Petrey (Bryan), Ashley Rekieta (Bryan), Rachel Rivas (Bryan), Rebecca Rodriguez (College Station), Cassandra Ruiz (Navasota), Jessica Sahm (Bryan), Lourna Santana (College Station), Tonya Scott (College Station), Michelle Shepherd (College Station), Angela Shockey (Bryan), Amber Soileau (College Station), DeSheala Spencer (College Station), Dorothy Sutton (Milano), Tiffany Taylor (Bryan), Shanta Thornton (College Station), Wendy Tillmutt (College Station), Truby Toner (Brenham), Kiarra Vining (College Station), Monica Wade (College Station), Michelle Walker (College Station), Michelle Walker (College Station), Lindsey Wallace (Bryan), Ronghui Wang (College Station), Ashley Wehrheim (College Station), Hannah White (Brenham), Wesley Williams (Bryan), Cody Willis (Magnolia), Haviette Wilson (Brenham) and Jessica Young (Schulenburg).
Nursing students spend at least two days per week in clinical rotations, in addition to lab and lecture time. Most students spend 15 to 24 hours each week in scheduled program activities and 30 hours or more per week for study and preparation.
Students who complete the program and pass the National Council Licensure Examination have a job placement rate between 97 to 100 percent and are qualified for a wide array of nursing positions, including pediatric, geriatric, hospice, school and clinical nursing. New graduates can expect to earn over $52,000 per year.
In the past six months, Blinn's ADN program was awarded more than $120,000 by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to continue to meet the state's growing demand for healthcare professionals. Fund disbursement is based upon the program's enrollment growth and graduation rates.
Blinn has received commendation from the Texas Board of Nursing five of the last six years for having a licensing pass rate greater than 90 percent. Blinn's pass rates are routinely above state and national averages.
"Each of these students are hardworking nurses who will make a difference in the future of healthcare," said ADN director Michael Hutton. "I am proud to work with an exceptional faculty in graduating competent, caring nursing students."
Blinn's Division of Health Sciences, based at the Texas A&M Health Science Center, offers associate degree nursing, dental hygiene, emergency medical services, physical therapist assistant, radiologic technology, fire science, therapeutics manufacturing, veterinary technology and vocational nursing programs designed to train students for high-demand professions.
In addition to its campuses in Brenham, Bryan, Schulenburg and Sealy, Blinn teaches online courses, dual credit for high school and prepares students for quick employment through its career and technical certification programs.
Registration is now available for Blinn's Summer I, Summer II and Fall semesters. For enrollment information and to learn about financial aid opportunities, visit: www.blinn.edu. Story and photo courtesy of Blinn College.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Matt Ditzler of Friends (Kan.) has been named NAIA National Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week and Azusa Pacific's (Calif.) Lauren Jimison has been tabbed NAIA National Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Ditzler and Jimison were selected based on their performances from Oct. 3 - 9. They were chosen out of a pool of conference/independent/unaffiliated group runners of the week selections.
Ditzler posted an 8K time of 24:41.9 to finish second at the Fort Hays State Open held in Hays, Kan., on Oct. 8. The time established a new personal best for the senior and shattered the Friends' record by 33 seconds. Ditzler, a native of Huntington, Ind., helped power the 14th-ranked Falcons to a second-place finish with 60 points. The 12-team field included NCAA Division I and II programs.
Jimison earned her second NAIA National Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week honor after claiming top-honors at the Vanguard (Calif.) Invitational held in Costa Mesa, Calif., on Oct. 8. The senior completed the 5K course in 17:10, shattering the course record of 17:23, en route to winning her second individual title in three races this season. Jimison, a native of El Dorado Hills, Calif., had a 34-second advantage on the runner-up, who was running unattached. Her efforts, combined with four other Cougars that finished among the top seven, lifted top-ranked Azusa Pacific to the team title with 36 points.
The next Runners of the Week announcement will be on Oct. 19.

Another Neat Piece Of Algebra - Series Summation

Here's another neat piece of algebra: A technique for summing series. You know what b - a + c - b + d - c is. Right? Suppose I were to write the same sum as: (b - a) + (c - b) + (d - c) The answer is still d - a. Right? Now, suppose I re-label with s 0 = a, s 1 = b, s 2 = c and s 3 = d. We end up with: (s 1 - s 0 ) + (s 2 - s 1 ) + (s 3 - s 2 ) This is actually pretty scalable terminology as you... [More]

Listen, I get it: the rights to Elvis' catalogue are expensive. Hell, even a single Elvis tune will run you a pretty penny (actually several million pennies) - pennies that the team at Obsidian couldn't afford. The problem was that Elvis is a huge fixture in the Las Vegas we know today, and is appropriately still being remembered in the far off videogame future depicted in New Vegas through a gang that all dress and speak like Elvis - The Kings. The weird thing is, you never hear any of Elvis' iconic music at any point in the game. Maybe it would have been worth the cash they'd have to dole out so that I wouldn't have to listen to "Johnny Guitar" another goddamn time when hanging out with Elvis impersonators.
Mr. House has gone to enormous lengths to ensure his survival - his casino is more well-guarded than Fort Knox, he has an army of robots at the ready, and he's even guaranteed himself immortality...so long as no one opens his chamber. Which you can do by hacking your way through a few doors and pressing a button. While there are some safety measures taken - why have doors leading to your chamber at all? Maybe if you're worried that the machinery would need repairs or something, I guess - but even then, your actual life support unit should DEFINITELY not be openable, especially not by untrustworthy mute couriers with bullet wounds in their skull.
In Fallout 3, the radio DJ was Three-Dog - and if you didn't like him or his voice, you could kill him (if you were some kind of monster who hates wonderful things). But you could not kill (or even find) Mr. New Vegas, which means I have no one to punish for the worst song in the game constantly coming on.
When New Vegas came out, a lot of hullabaloo was made of how much your choices and actions would affect the storyline and world in a much deeper, more significant way than in Fallout 3. You had reputations amongst the various factions of the Mojave that would affect one another, what you wore changed how people reacted to you, and you could align yourselves with different groups that would lead to radically different endings. So it's a little weird then that killing Caesar, the leader of the Legion, doesn't really affect anything.
You're not really supposed to kill him, but you can (which is nice). But you'd think killing the instigator of the entire conflict that drives New Vegas, supposed son of a god (amongst his people), and the founder of the largest army in the Mojave would have some effect beyond some minor dialogue changes.
You'd think a game called "Fallout: New Vegas" wouldn't make New Vegas itself be the most annoying part of the game, right? WRONG. First off, it's important to keep in mind how annoying and long the loading screens are (very). Loading screens are a necessary evil in games though, so you can't really get mad at just their existence. The problem is there's no way to fast travel into New Vegas' strip proper - you can only fast travel riiiight outside the gates, so after the fast travel load screen, you're immediately getting another one to get inside. And even then, the city is broken up into 3 sections, each about 1/10 as big as Whiterun from Skyrim. Why they couldn't have made the central location in the game a single, big city that you could fast travel to is beyond me.
Also they could have mimicked Skyrim's lack of Johnny Guitar's awful wailing that makes your ears bleed.
People complain about how buggy Fallout 3 and New Vegas were, but if you'd played the 90's isometric Fallouts, you'll know that the Bethesda Fallout games' bugs are sorta cuddly and adorable compared to the old school games constant crashing, corrupted save files, and broken quest lines. BUT - there is one unforgivable bug in Fallout: New Vegas, and that bug is the Cazador. I don't care how great a bug is, they shouldn't be able to take 20 bullets from any kind of gun and still have ¾ of their health. Well, if you have to deal with an unstoppable death-bug, at least "Big Iron" is playing on the radio when OH SHIT JOHNNY GUITAR JUST CAME ON FUCK FUCK FUCK

Game #138: Jays at Red Sox pregame
Toronto (70-67) at Boston (83-55)
at 7:05 p.m. ET at Fenway Park
Today's lineups:
Vernon Wells, CF
Matt Stairs, LF
Alex Rios, RF
Frank Thomas, DH
Troy Glaus, 3B
Lyle Overbay, 1B
Aaron Hill, 2B
Gregg Zaun, C
John McDonald, SS
PITCHING: RHP Roy Halladay (14-6, 3.87 ERA)
Julio Lugo, SS
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
David Ortiz, DH
Mike Lowell, 3B
J.D. Drew, RF
Kevin Youkilis, 1B
Jason Varitek, C
Coco Crisp, CF
Jacob Ellsbury, LF
PITCHING: RHP Josh Beckett (16-6, 3.29 ERA)
NOTES: Stairs was in the lineup for the third game in a row. Can you blame manager John Gibbons for keeping LF Reed Johnson on the bench? Stairs has hit 479 over his past 21 games and he went 4-for-4 on Monday. … Toronto activated Brandon League from the DL, purchased the contract of C Sal Fasano and recalled RHP Josh Banks and INF Hector Luna. To make room on the 40-man roster for Fasano, LHP Gus Chacin was moved to the 60-day DL. … League plans on staying in Florida to train this winter instead of heading home to Hawaii. … Gibbons said Banks could make a start or two at the end of the month if the Jays fall out of the race. … Toronto will give an extra day of rest to its starters with the upcoming off-day, rather than skip anyone's turn.
entering Tuesday
1. New York 76-62 (–)
2. Seattle 74-62 (1)
3. Detroit 73-64 (2.5)
4. Toronto 70-67 (5.5)
REALITY CHECK…Since 1995, the runner-up in the AL Wild Card race has finished with an average of 89 victories. The Blue Jays would need to go 20-5 over their final 25 games to reach 90 wins.
8 Comments
Well, if he didn't keep Stairs in the lineup, I'd have a problem.
We're still in the race, guys like Stairs, Thomas and Glaus are the grizzled vets expected to carry this team as they tried to do last night. That's why we got them and that's why they get the big bucks-well except Stairs.
I like tonight's lineup-Go Jays!!!!!
I find it interesting that Gibby was crying when Johnson was on the DL as he is supposed to be the spark plug at the top of the order and now when the Jays need the wins the most, he is sitting on the bench. Stairs is a monster player right now and I am lovin what he has been doing this past 21 games. Go Jays Go!
When Wells came up with two on, I thought it was his moment. He has been slumping, no matter what spot in the lineup he is in (although i think it works best when he hits 3rd) and down 4-0 that was a spot where your franchise player comes up with a big hit. Low and behold, he pops out. He is still my favorite player and I will continue to support him. But don't you find it interesting that next batter, Matt Stairs, your 39 year old one year rental veteran is the one who gets the big hit? I hope the Jays keep him around for next year.
Way to go Abner-another genius decision.
Why did Halliday start the 8th inning and why are you leaving him out there?
He's now up to 126 pitches and you have a fresh bullpen.
Yank him you dumb idiot.
I agree with you tonight sumner Halladay should've been yanked after the 7th. I've never had a problem leaving a guy a little too long with a lead, but when they're trailing pull him.
Halliday has already pitched 186 innings this year before tonights game. In his previous two to three starts our boy genius Abner kept him out there for 110 to 120 pitches per game.
We were two runs down, and neither Janssen, Downs or Accardo pitched yesterday and Wolfe only pitched one inning. We had a fresh bull pen and reserves on the way.
And this g** d*** idiot, numbskull, little league manager of ours put our franchise pitcher out there and risks injury in a loosing battle.
What kind of a chance do we have to win next year, if we loose Halliday to serious injury now-slim to none.
How smart is that. The guy's a mental midget and the longer we keep him around the longer it is before we have a serious chance to win.
I mean, he doesn't even know how to fill out a proper lineup card. Does anyone here really think the player's respect him for his continual day in and day out foul ups or the blow up with Lilly last year.
Let's send Abner back to the Smokies and let him manage a sand lot team in the soft hills-providing he has an assisstant of course to make decisions for him.
We have great players-we need a good manager.
I have bird feeders in my yard.
I started to watch the game after the second I shut the TV off and went out to watch the birds.
This is not a good team they do not play well together.
Johnson must go to make room for Lind,Lind will improve on deffence.Wells must hire a hitting coach during the of season he is being paid big bucks he can afford it and he needs to learn how to hit again.
Rios 5 tool enough said.
Overbay needs the rest to heal.
Hill cant complain.
Jhonny Mac will do, he said if he is going to play more he will be ready I belive him and I love his deffence.
as far as Glaus goes,
One part of his foot will heal but the bone chip wont he should be traded his 12.8mil will go a long way.
They have to trade Zaun he has no arm the league knows it and they will keep running on him.
Stairs must come back what a monster he has been.
That leaves Thomas if he starts the year like he is finishing this year welcome back if not get lost.
We have halliday great pitcher.
If Burnett stays healthy great pitcher.
Three young pitchers who must be getting tired by now are doing a great job.
Litsch belongs in -AAA-ball for one more year it can only help him.
We have a good bullpen.
If Toronto takes it's time with BJ Ryan the bullpen gets better.
JP and Gibbons both have to go or all is lost.
Cito Gaston is the man we need but as we all know JP is afraid of him because he has his own mind no puppet here.

The wife of Michael C. Hall says the "Dexter" star is "fully recovered" from cancer and has returned to work.
Jennifer Carpenter said Friday that Hall was "incredibly brave" when he announced in January that he was undergoing treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer that attacks the lymph nodes.
The 38-year-old Hall went into remission and continued treatment at a health facility near Los Angeles.
Hall won a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe Award earlier this year for his portrayal of Dexter, a serial killer who targets other murderers. Carpenter stars on the bloody Showtime hit series as Dexter's seemingly unknowing sister.

Parkinson's disease is named for Dr. James Parkinson,
who in 1817 first described the features of this illness. Features of
Parkinson's disease include tremor, slow movement (bradykinesia), and rigid
muscles (rigidity). People with parkinsonism may have Parkinson's disease or
another illness with similar symptoms.
Other conditions and diseases that cause parkinsonism may also
cause symptoms that are not seen with Parkinson's disease. These conditions may
be treated differently than Parkinson's disease. Unlike Parkinson's, some
conditions that cause parkinsonism are reversible.
It may be helpful for people with Parkinson's disease and their
families to be familiar with some of the ways the disease is described. Experts
describe symptoms and stages of the disease differently.
Parkinson's disease sometimes is described as early, moderate, or
Parkinson's disease may also be described by five stages:
Medical professionals may refer to this scale when discussing the
disease and decisions about treatment.

Game 10, UMBC at Loyola Game Notes
America East Game Notes
BALTIMORE – UMBC women's basketball returns to action for the first time since Dec. 7, as
the Retrievers hit the road to take on cross-town rival Loyola on Saturday, Dec. 21. Tip-off is set for noon at Reitz Arena, with all the live action available on the Patriot League Network.
SCOUTING THE RETRIEVERS (1-8): UMBC has dropped eight straight since winning its season-opener against Eastern, but has not played a contest since Dec. 7 versus VCU, due to a weather cancellation on Dec. 10 versus Bucknell. The Retrievers have struggled to get going in the early part of games, being outscored by 11.4 points per game in the opening halves this season. UMBC once again picked up its play in the second stanza of its latest contest, shooting 62.5 percent from the floor and outscoring VCU, 36-33, in the half. Freshman forward Sara Tarbert led the Retrievers in scoring for the seventh time this season, scoring 12 points and pulling down seven rebounds in the 75-55 loss to the Rams. Junior guard Janelle Saling provided a spark off the bench for the Retrievers, knocking down three treys for a season-best nine points.
On the season, UMBC is outshooting its opponents, 40.3 percent to 38.4 percent from the floor, but the Retrievers are being outrebounded by eight boards a game and are turning the ball over 5.9 more times per game. Over the last four games, UMBC is averaging 22.0 giveaways per contest, leading to 103 points for the Retrievers' opponents.
UMBC is led by Tarbert, who ranks second in the America East in points (15.6) and fourth in rebounds (7.4), while also adding a team-best 3.0 assists per contest. Classmate Taylor McCarley has proved to be a viable second option for the Retrievers, scoring 8.6 points and adding 3.1 rebounds per contest. Sophomore center Bridget O'Donnell and freshman center Amanda Hagaman are both hitting at a high percentage from the floor shooting 46.9 percent and 53.8 percent from the floor, respectively. O'Donnell is second on the team in rebounding average, corralling 3.9 boards a game, while Hagaman leads the team in offensive rebounds with 11.
SCOUTING THE GREYHOUNDS (2-7): Loyola returns to action after 11 days off and hosts its first game since Nov. 23. The Greyhounds dropped two in a row prior to their break, including a 56-50 loss at George Washington on Dec. 9. Junior guard Nai Brown recorded her first collegiate double-double in the contest, registering 22 points and 11 rebounds, while classmate Kara Marshall chipped in 10 points, four rebounds and three steals.
Marshall leads the squad at 13.8 points per game, while adding 20 steals and 20 assists on the season, also team-bests. Brown is also scoring in double-figures, averaging 13.7 points and 5.7 rebounds a game. Despite being outrebounded by nearly seven rebounds per contest, the Greyhounds have four players averaging at least five rebounds a game, led by sophomore center Tiffany Padgett's 6.1 boards per game.
The Greyhounds returned three starters and nine letterwinners from last year's squad that finished with a 12-18 overall record and finished eighth in Loyola's final season in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Loyola was picked to finish in eighth out of 10 teams in the Patriot League preseason poll.
INSIDE THE SERIES: The Retrievers trail in the all-time series, 22-14, and have posted a 7-13 record against the Greyhounds since joining the Division I ranks. UMBC's last win against Loyola came on the Greyhounds' home floor in 2011, but Loyola returned the favor last season, beating the Retrievers 68-55 at the RAC Arena.
ON THE HORIZON FOR THE RETRIEVERS: UMBC takes eight more days off for the holidays and then travels to the James Madison Tournament on Dec. 29 and 30. The Retrievers open the tournament against Norfolk State on Sunday, Dec. 29 and will play either Ohio or James Madison on Dec. 30.

In a surprising use of force, NATO peacekeepers in Kosovo early today used tear gas and pepper spray against local Serbs while dismantling a series of barricades erected in July by local hardliners.
The raid came after local Serbs twice refused a NATO ultimatum to take down the 16 mud-and-log barriers that required EU police to escort Kosovo customs officers to the border via helicopters. The barriers became a symbol of defiance against Kosovo independence and the borders decided by a UN resolution. Self-styled Kosovo Serb officials announced yesterday they would not remove the barricades and sought instead to define terms to the peacekeeping and EU police forces.
Shortly after the NATO raid, a press release by the European police force in Kosovo together with KFOR, the designation of the 5,500 troop NATO mission there, described it in flat language as "a joint operation to reestablish freedom of movement in northern Kosovo. Barricades were removed and vehicle check points and roadblocks set up. ... The overall aim is to improve the rule of law situation in this part of Kosovo."
Angry local Serbs mobbed the operation, leading to tear gas injuries for 22 Serbs and creating tension.
KFOR official Uve Novicki told Radio Free Europe in Pristina, "I can say our operation went successfully so far. We have a full control in the valley across the Ibar River and roads that were used for smuggling."
Authorities in Pristina applauded the KFOR action. In Belgrade the Tadic government called for restraint and calm.
Until 1999 Kosovo was part of Serbia and is considered a mythic heartland of Serb identity, even though Kosovo is now more than 90 percent Albanian and declared independence in 2008, backed by the US and EU.
In recent years Serbia has somewhat downplayed the issue of Kosovo as it seeks EU candidacy. In late May, the Tadic government in Belgrade turned over Bosnian Serb Gen. Ratko Mladic, accused of genocide, to the Yugoslav tribunal at The Hague.
Removal by force
Yesterday a Western official in Kosovo told the Monitor that KFOR was considering removing the barricades by force, but said that "time is on the side" of KFOR and "pressure is only building on Belgrade." Serbia knows that EU members will not want to admit a state with ragged neighborly relations or that resembles a divided Cyprus.
"Time may take care of this, but we are also aware things could blow up," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, owing to diplomatic sensitivity.
Serb candidacy in the EU was accepted last week, but a formal date to begin talks was delayed pending better relations between Serbia and Albanian-majority Kosovo. "We recommend that accession negotiations be opened as soon as Serbia achieves further progress in the one key priority ... the negotiations with Kosovo," said EU enlargement commissioner Stefan Fule last week.
The standoff started over a long-running trade dispute. Currently, Serb goods come into Kosovo, but Kosovo cannot send goods into or through Serbia. The situation is out of kilter with UN Resolution 1244, has dragged on for years, and Kosovars, irritated at a lack of resolution, attempted to "take" border posts in the Serb-controlled north in late July.
