ARLINGTON, Texas, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Dan Rooney said he is returning as chairman of the Pittsburgh Steelers, after resigning as U.S. ambassador to Ireland.
"I want to be involved with the team and the organization in any way I can," Rooney, 80, said Sunday before the Steelers' game against the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. "I would want to become involved again in league matters where I can be helpful."
Rooney, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, resigned from the ambassadorship Friday after serving one term since 2009, a typical procedure in U.S. State Department posts involving non-career employees, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported Monday.
The Steelers listed him as "chairman emeritus" in his absence, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said.
His son Art Rooney is the Steelers' president.

Adolescence is a time of growth and change. Teenagers need more calories and nutrients than any other age group to support their growing bodies. Yet most teens eat too many empty-calorie foods and come up short on many important nutrients. Here you will find information on your teen's nutritional needs and practical suggestions for helping them eat a healthier diet.
Key Components of a Healthy Diet for Adolescents
Adequate Calories
Adolescents need a lot of calories to support the rapid growth that occurs during this time and to fuel their busy lives. The amount of calories that your teen needs varies depending on age, sex, and activity level. Most adolescent girls need somewhere around 2,200 calories per day, while most adolescent boys need 2,500-3,000 calories per day.
Between school work, sports, and other activities, teens are often so busy they don't have time to eat balanced meals that provide the calories and nutrients they need. Still, it is also easy to eat too many calories, especially when poor food choices are made. Over time, this can lead to excess weight and obesity. Make sure your teen gets the amount of calories they need by:
- Providing a variety of nutrient-rich foods from all the different food groups
- Limiting foods that are high in added sugar or fat, but provide little else, such as candy bars, chips, cakes, cookies, donuts, and regular soda
- Serving reasonable portion sizes and then letting your teen have more if they are still hungry (serving too much food at one time encourages overeating)
Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for your teen. About 45%-65% of their calories should come from carbohydrates. Encourage your teen to choose healthy carbohydrate-rich foods, such as whole grains, fruit, vegetables, and milk. Limit foods that are high in refined flour or added sugar, such as white bread, non-whole-grain crackers, cookies, juice, and soda.
Your teen needs protein for growth and repair, as well as to build muscle. About 15%-25% of your teen's calories should come from protein. Good sources include poultry, lean meat, seafood, eggs, nuts, soy, legumes, and low-fat and nonfat dairy products.
Adolescents need between 25%-35% of their calories as fat. Dietary fat provides essential fatty acids that are necessary for proper growth. It also helps transport the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K and maintain healthy skin. Your teen's fat intake should come mostly from healthy fats, such as those found in vegetable oils (canola and olive oil), nuts, avocados, olives, and fatty fish (salmon, sardines, and tuna).
Vitamins & Minerals
Research shows that many adolescents, particularly girls, do not get all the vitamins and minerals they need. If you feel your teen's diet is not as "balanced" as it could be, ask their pediatrician about multivitamin supplementation. Also, you can serve fortified breakfast cereal.
While all vitamins and minerals are important, here are a few that adolescents often fall short on:
Essential for building strong bones and teeth
Milk, cheese, yogurt, tofu, calcium-fortified orange juice, calcium-fortified cereal, and canned salmon
Important for proper growth during adolescence
Orange juice, fortified breakfast cereals, bread, milk, dried beans, and lentils
Necessary for transporting red blood cells; not getting enough from the diet can result in iron-deficiency anemia
Meat, chicken, fish, and fortified breakfast cereal
Helps promote proper growth and sexual maturation during adolescence
Chicken, meat, shellfish, whole grains, and fortified breakfast cereal
Vitamin A
Necessary for proper vision, growth, and immune system functioning
Carrots, fortified breakfast cereal, milk, and cheese
Vitamin D
Necessary for the body to use the calcium that is consumed
Fortified milk, salmon, and egg yolks—sunshine allows your body to make vitamin D, but be aware of the dangers of getting too much sun
Vitamin E
Helps protect the body from damage
Nuts, seeds, whole grains, spinach, and fortified breakfast cereal
Helps regulate the heartbeat, build strong bones, and keep blood pressure within a normal range
Whole grains, green vegetables, and legumes
Most adolescents do not eat enough fiber. Diets high in fiber tend to be lower in total calories, fat, and cholesterol than diets that are low in fiber. What's more, research shows that a high fiber intake may help prevent heart disease and certain kinds of cancer. Fiber can also help prevent constipation and increase fullness following a meal. To be sure your teen is getting enough fiber, teach them to choose whole grains over refined grains, and encourage them to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Physical Activity
While it may not be a nutrient, physical activity is a key component of any healthy diet. Encourage your teen to be physically active every day. If necessary, set limits on the amount of time spent watching TV or using the computer. All physical activity counts—whether it is being involved with school sports, taking dance lessons, shooting hoops in the driveway, or walking to school. There are countless ways to get moving.
Eating Guide for Adolescents
This eating guide is based on the United States Department of Agriculture's Choose My Plate website. It lists the main food groups, examples of the recommended daily amount for different ages, as well as suggestions about which foods to choose in each group.

*The daily amounts shown here are for adolescents who are of average weight and height for their age and engage in 30-60 minutes of physical activity every day.
Healthy Eating Ideas
Encourage your teen to start the day off with breakfast. Studies show that children learn better when fueled with breakfast, yet most skip this important meal. Ideally it should include foods from the different food groups. While your son or daughter may not have time for a sit-down breakfast, here are some choices that can be eaten on-the-run:
- Drinkable yogurt and whole-wheat toast
- Fruit smoothie and granola bar
- Whole-grain cereal with milk or yogurt
- Egg and cheese breakfast sandwich
For those who prefer non-breakfast foods, leftovers and sandwiches are good choices.
Because of their high energy needs, most teens should eat 2-3 snacks a day: a mid-morning snack, an afternoon snack, and perhaps an evening snack.
While you cannot control the snacks your child eats away from home, you can pack a healthy snack for between classes or before sports practice. Some ideas include:
- Fresh fruit slices
- Drinkable yogurt
- Low-fat granola bars
- Whole-grain crackers and sliced cheese
- String cheese
- Grilled cheese on whole-wheat bread
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwich
- Sliced, raw vegetables with low-fat dip
- Whole-grain pretzels
- Trail mix
- Hummus and pita bread
- Bagel pizza
- Frozen whole-grain waffles
- Air-popped popcorn
Encourage your teen to purchase healthy lunches. If you pack a lunch for your child, ask for her input and then do your best to ensure a balanced, healthy meal. Even if your child does not eat the healthiest meal at lunch, eating something is better than nothing.
While it may be difficult to have dinner together, try to make it happen at least a few times every week. Research shows that children who eat dinner with their families tend to have higher quality diets than those who do not. A healthy dinner includes whole grains, vegetables, lean protein, and low-fat dairy, and sometimes dessert.
Ways to Improve Your Teen's Diet
- Encourage your teen to eat at least 2 snacks per day—one in the mid-morning and one after school. If your teen is involved with sports or after school activities, pack something that he can eat beforehand.
- Most teens consume too much unhealthy fat, added sugar, and salt. Buy healthy choices, like fresh fruit, sliced vegetables, whole-grain pretzels, whole-wheat crackers, low-fat granola bars, fresh whole-grain bread, frozen yogurt, low-fat milk or soy milk, seltzer water, and flavored water. Get out of the habit of buying less healthy snack foods, such as chips, cookies, juice (unless 100% fruit juice), and soda.
- Try to cook at home. Home-cooked meals tend to be healthier and lower in calories, fat, and salt than restaurant food.
- Get your teen involved with meal planning, shopping, and cooking. The more involved they are, the more likely they will take an interest in trying the foods that you prepare.
- Eat together as much as you can. Try to make it happen a few nights during the week.
- Talk to your child about healthy eating and why it is important. Stress the immediate benefits (it will help you excel in school, run faster, throw the ball farther, have better skin).
- Be aware of excessive dieting and eating disorders. If your child has unhealthy eating behaviors, such as going on different diets, routinely skipping meals, using laxatives, or throwing up after meals, express your concern. You may want to also talk to a doctor and a school counselor.

I know some of you are also trying to speak more Spanish with your chiquitos, so when something works, I like to pass it on.
A lot of parents think la television is evil and feel guilty about letting their children watch, but I find it to be an amazing tool. Okay, so maybe letting your kids zone out in front of a Spongebob Squarepants marathon isn't educational – but it can be with a simple click of the remote.
Many TV shows and movies on DVD have the option to add Spanish subtitles or dubbing – USE IT! My kids actually do it themselves sometimes because they think it's funny. If your child has watched a DVD so many times that they know the lines of the characters word-for-word, (that would be the Harry Potter movies at my house), it's time to switch it to Spanish.
If you have some Spanish language channels in your cable/satellite package – even better. We have a lot of channels in español so we have quite a bit to choose from, but there's one channel we no longer have that I miss. For a few months we had HBO Latino, and during that time we discovered "El Perro y El Gato" which is a fantastic Spanglish show for kids. There are a few episodes online though, so call the niños over here and click play.

May or Might
We can use 'may' to ask for permission. However this is rather formal and not used very often in modern spoken English
We use 'may' to suggest something is possible
We use 'might' to suggest a small possibility of something. Often we read that 'might' suggests a smaller possibility that 'may', there is in fact little difference and 'might is more usual than 'may' in spoken English.
For the past, we use 'might have'.

An "Oscar" for Hans-Rudolf Schurter
The multinational service company Ernst & Young annually dedicates the award "Entrepreneur Of The Year" across different categories in more than 70 countries. Hans-Rudolf Schurter was awarded the "Entrepreneur Of The Year" on 28 October in Lausanne.
The competition for the "Entrepreneur Of The Year" is sponsored by the multinational service firm Ernst & Young and is carried out annually in more than 70 countries. The award, which is assigned to the categories Industry, Services, Start-up and Family Business, is like an "Oscar" of entrepreneurship, a renowned prize for entrepreneurial activities. With this prize the most innovative and successful entrepreneurs of each country are honoured and distinguished.
In Switzerland up to 50 entrepreneurs are nominated among the numerous applicants. Based on the documentation submitted and personal interviews with the applicants, 12 – 15 finalists are selected. In the end, a high-grade jury gives the EoY award to one winner in each of the above mentioned categories. The four prizes were presented during a ceremonial event on 28 October 2016 in Lausanne.
It is a great honour and distinction for the SCHURTER Group that our long-standing CEO and today's Chairman of the Board, Hans-Rudolf Schurter, was awarded with the prize in the category Family Business.
The speech in honour of HRS, as we all address him, was delivered by Claude Raymond Cornaz, CEO of the Vetropack Group. A partial account of his speech is depicted as follows: "As entrepreneur in the third generation he has promoted the growth of the group significantly. He is appreciated everywhere as a visionary and considerate superior, committed to human wellbeing. Hans-Rudolf Schurter has handed over to his successor a state of the art, internationally well-positioned and completely independent group of companies. His leadership principle was and is predictability. According to this motto he has bundled the interests of the owner family and thus laid down important foundations for a family governance which is sustainable for the future. The jury is convinced that, thanks to Hans-Rudolf Schurter, the SCHURTER Group as a family enterprise will continue to have a great future ahead."
We sincerely congratulate and share the happiness with Hans-Rudolf Schurter for the undoubtedly well-deserved life-time achievement award.

: : : : : On television this morning, Dr. Phil, one of America's television advice gurus, said, "If you enter a relationship with too many expectancies..." It sounded strange to me as I thought 'expectations' would be preferred. He went on to use 'expectancy' where I thought it should be 'expectation.' Any help here on preference or which is more correct? Thank you.
: : : : Strictly speaking, it is gibberish, at least, it's not in the dictionary yet. A similar word I've heard is "dependencies" meaning a number of factors that something depends upon. It's used in project management. Are these words jargon? Are they malapropisms? Are they expressing something it wasn't possible to express in quite the same way using standard English? I'm not sure but I hear these all the time and sometimes I'm oblidged to use them to be understood by others who use them.
: : : I think Dr. Phil, astute marketer that he is, is deliberately dumbing down his vocabulary so as not to alienate his customers.
: : I have never watched Dr. Phil or any of his ilk. I consider it a badge of honor.
: Nor have I actually, but some mornings our local newscast injects a 'Dr. Phil Moment' (there's another example for a previous post)which is usually my cue to take a shower and get out of the house.
"Expectancies" used that way sounds like social-science jargon or educators' jargon. But it ain't easy to choose the right word the first time, every time, when the camera's on you.

Kathleen Fine-Dare
If elected to the Nominations Committee (Cultural Seat) I would make every effort to encourage members from small anthropology programs and from underrepresented backgrounds to become involved in AAA governance. I believe it is particularly important to draw in sociocultural anthropologists who have significant four+ field knowledge and experience with both scholarly and publicly engaged interactions so that the association may become better connected internally. Because I have three decades of college teaching and faculty governance experience in areas of internal and external peer evaluation, scholarly collaboration, and interaction with colleagues both within and outside the Americas, my network of colleagues and experience is broad and centripetal. I have served several times on the Fulbright national undergraduate review committee and currently evaluate grant proposals for Wenner Gren. I am or have recently been a member of several AAA sections (e.g., ABA, AES, AFA, AIA, CMA, SCA, SLACA, SUNTA, SVA, and GAD/FOSAP), and have organized and delivered five AAA panels. For these and other reasons I believe I have a broad enough vision of the cultural anthropological wing of the AAA and the ways it intersects with the other subfields to serve well as a member of the NC.
Richard Chacon
I feel that I am qualified to serve on the Nominations Committee's Cultural Seat for the following reasons: I have served on numerous university wide committees, as well as promotion and tenure review panels. I have organized sessions at the AAAs in 2009, 2005, and in 2003.
I am fully supportive of the AAA's efforts at promoting anthropological perspectives and the autonomy of native peoples. As a result of such concerns, in 1995, I founded the non-profit "Alto Corrientes Health Care Fund" in order to help Amazonian Achuar peoples meet their health care needs. Since, 2009 to the present, I serve on the Board of Directors overseeing the International Center of York County (ICYC) which provides immigrants with the tools needed for becoming independent and productive members of the community. I also organize events for the "No Room for Racism Taskforce" designed to promote mutual respect and understanding among all community residents. Additionally, since 2004, I serve as Project Anthropologist the "The Catawba Nation Research Project" which supports efforts promoting tribal autonomy. Lastly, I bring years of dedication as a field anthropologist working with indigenous communities along with a steadfast commitment to the AAA as our flagship organization.

I fell asleep reading bon appetit the other night (it happens…) and the last recipe I remember reading was for corn and crab chowder. So it was no wonder that I woke up this morning with an inextinguishable craving for corn soup. And, after about five hours of Christmas shopping in crowded stores (you haven't truly experienced 'crowded' until you've tried to visit the stores in Rockefeller center at Christmastime), I felt like I deserved something extra delicious.
My soups are basically salads in a bowl. I figure, you don't have to worry about losing vitamins through boiling vegetables if you're eating the water that they boil in (i.e., soup). Of course, I'm not a nutritionist, so I could be flat out wrong. But until someone proves otherwise, I think veggie soups are pretty darn healthy. You could finish this with some cream, if you wanted a more authentic 'chowder' recipe. But I thought it was great with just veggies!
Corn and Carrot Chowder
1 pound bag of carrots, peeled and diced
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, diced
2 tsp olive oil
2 cups corn kernels (I used frozen, no need to defrost)
4 cups vegetable stock
2 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
Pinch of saffron
1. In a large saucepan, saute onion and garlic in olive oil.
2. Add vegetable stock, corn, carrots, salt, paprika and saffron. Simmer 20 minutes, covered.
3. Strain soup into a large serving bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup of solids. Place remaining solids into food processor and puree until smooth.
4. Add puree and reserved solids back into broth, and mix until well incorporated. Serve.
Serves 4.

Game 145: Toronto at New York
After a little more than two weeks away from the ballpark, I'm back on the Blue Jays beat down the stretch. It was a wonderful little break, considering my wife and I welcomed our first son, Hayden Charles Bastian, into the world on September 1.
Thanks to all who sent me congrats notes via Twitter, blog and e-mail. I didn't respond to very many, but all were received and appreciated. But, after spending the last weeks at home with the fam, it's time to get back to work and finish out this '09 season.
As for the Jays, not a whole lotta news to speak of this evening. Joe Inglett is still day-to-day with sore ribs, Jeremy Accardo has been fighting a flu bug for the past couple days and catcher Kyle Phillips will likely be behind the plate again for lefty David Purcey on Monday.
As for tonight? It's a familiar lineup with Doc on the hill in the Bronx. Not a bad way to kick off my return to the pressbox.

What a beautiful picture Jordan, thank you for sharing something so precious.
Welcome back Jordan, and congratulations on a fine young son. You have a couple of weeks to catch up on your sleep before you go home again.
Jordan, congrats to you and your wife.
What a perfect little fellow – obviously he must take after his mother!

- Protecting your
Operating System
- Bank smart while
on the move
Ensure your computer is virus free
Anti-virus Scanning
Avoid infection from malware like viruses, worms, Trojans, and adware.
- Setup anti-virus software to automatically scan your computer in real-time or at least once a week.
- Enable real-time email scanning through your anti-virus program.
- Scan every file you download through the Internet or via email.
Keep your networks secure
Securing your Home Network
Stay safe while you're surfing at home.
- Use a personal firewall to protect your network at home. You can use a software or hardware-based firewall.
- If you use a router, be sure to change the default password.
- If you use a wireless router, encrypt your connection with a password.
- If you use a Cable or DSL connection, disable file sharing in Windows products.
Using Firewalls
A firewall is a program or device that inspects the information passing between your computer and its network connection. They block malware from gaining access to your computer. Firewalls also prevent the spread of malicious software from your computer to your network.
>Personal Firewalls
Personal firewalls are programs that protect your computer from online intrusions over a network connection (e.g., wireless, Ethernet). When suspicious network activity is detected, the firewall blocks it and alerts you.
Windows XP SP3 and all windows operating systems created after it (including Windows Vista and Windows 7) have a built-in firewall. For more information, visit: http://www.microsoft.com
There are several third-party firewall applications available as well, including:*
Norton Internet Security
Lavasoft Personal Firewall
Mac OS X:
All Macintosh computers running Apple's OS X operating system come with a built-in firewall. Please see http://www.apple.com for more information.
Hardware Firewalls
If you're connected to a wireless or Ethernet router, your computer exists on a private network that has been created by your router. Therefore, your computer is not directly accessible to the outside world. Your router is your firewall and all access to your computer is granted through it.
Protecting your Operating System
Keep your operating system safe by updating it with security patches on a regular basis. Avoid losing any essential information if you encounter a problem, by backing-up your data regularly.
Permanently Deleting Files
When you delete a file on your computer, it is not gone forever. The information still exists on your hard drive until it is overwritten by new data. Identity thieves can retrieve personal information from your hard drive after you sell or donate your computer. A proper electronic file disposal procedure will make the information unrecoverable.
Here are some tools you can use to dispose digital information permanently:*
Bank smart while on the move
The Internet is everywhere and more and more people are using wireless connections and mobile devices to access it. Here are a few things to consider when you're connecting on-the-go.
Wireless Networks
To secure your wireless network
- Turn on wireless encryption immediately after installing a wireless device. Older routers only provide WEP encryption. If available, use WPA or WPA2 encryption for your home network.
- Change the SSID on your router from the default name to prevent easy access to your network.
- Disable SSID broadcast.
- Disable SNMP protocol, unless you need it.
- Your router likely has a built-in firewall. Make sure it is on and configure it properly.
Bluetooth Networks
Here are some helpful ways you can keep your information secure when using Bluetooth.
- Turn off Bluetooth function when not in use.
- Use a strong PIN code.
- Avoid storing sensitive data on your Bluetooth-enabled device.
- Keep your device(s) updated with the latest software.

Reminders, Notes, and Ideas
All the information Cute Reminder stores for you is classified depending on how it relates to a time. There are

are pieces of information tightly bound to a specific time.

If you have a deadline, you set up a reminder to allow you to do the work in a timely fashion.
are pieces of information not bound to a specific deadline. You use notes to remind you to do something when you have time. For example, you create a note in order not to forget to write a letter to a friend. Or, you can make a note to store temporary information such as a phone number or address. The notes are placed on your desktop, and they remain visible unless you hide them.
are pieces of information, which is unproven, unreliable, or incomplete. This kind of information does not assume any deadlines or immediate actions. You use ideas to avoid wasting your resources and time working on fuzzy goals.

MILLEDGEVILLE - A five-run seventh inning in Game 1 and a four-run first inning in Game 2 was enough to propel Catawba College to a softball doubleheader sweep of Georgia Southwestern in the season opener for both schools Saturday evening.
Catawba outhit the Lady Hurricanes 16-9 en route to victories of 7-4 and 8-0. The teams combined for 10 errors.
GAME 1: Catawba 7, GSW 4
Southwestern jumped out to the early lead in Game 1 with a two-run third inning highlighted by a leadoff home run from freshman Rachel McElroy, a double from freshman Ashley Cavender and an RBI single by senior Gabby Buck.
After Catawba answered with run in the top of the fourth, GSW pushed two more across the plate aided by a pair of Catawba errors.
The Lady Indians added a run in the fifth behind a Tara Gibbs RBI triple.
GSW maintained the two-run advantage until the seventh.
Catawba opened the frame with a walk. After a sacrifice bunt and a single, Mollie Kovalcin cut the margin to 4-3 on an RBI single. A GSW fielding error loaded the bases and a pinch-hit single by Kelsey Burgess tied the game.
Amanda Terry had the winning hit for Catawba, clearing the bases with a three-run double with two outs.
Senior Katie Maddox took the loss for GSW, pitching two innings, allowing five runs - two earned - on four hits. Starter Jessica Martin struck out six in five innings. She allowed a pair of runs.
Brittany Murray went the distance for the Lady Indians and finished with four runs - two earned - on seven hits. She struck out five.
GAME 2: Catawba 8, GSW 0
The Lady Indians scored four runs off a hit and two GSW errors in the first inning of the nightcap, which would be plenty of cushion for starting pitcher Emily B. Huneycutt.
Catawba added a run in the third, two in the fourth and a final score in the sixth en route to the sweep.
GSW managed only two hits off Huneycutt. However, a single by sophomore Hayley Knight in the sixth inning did come after senior Jessica Chewning had walked to open the frame. Buck, the next batter, walked to load the bases with one out, but the Lady Hurricanes were unable to score.
Junior Brittny Dennison took the loss for GSW after pitching 3 1/3 innings and allowing six runs - one earned. Dennison held Catawba to two hits, but surrendered five walks. Sophomore Erin Vick pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief. She struck out two and did not walk a batter.
Huneycutt walked two and struck out one for Catawba.
The Blue & Gold resumes play tomorrow morning in Milledgeville with a doubleheader against Queens (N.C.) at 10 a.m.

Is she lying about what happened?
An NYPD spokesman said the department is looking into claims by a woman that the brother of "The Jersey Shore" cast-member Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino threatened her with a broken glass - and that she was held against her will inside a limousine after a night of partying.
But an attorney for Mike Sorrentino said the woman is lying. He alleged she has filed a false police report and states there is a pending criminal complaint against the woman for lying to the police in New Jersey.
"My client is completely innocent of the citizen's complaint against him," said prominent New Jersey defense lawyer Raymond Raya. "This is a clear instance of someone trying to use a person's celebrity for some purpose outside the justice system."
An NYPD police spokesman said police also plan to question Mike Sorrentino - the reality t.v. star perhaps best known for his abs - since he was present at the time of the altercation.
The woman tells NYPD investigators that Marc Sorrentino held a broken beer bottle to her throat and later punched her during a dispute in Howell, New Jersey, the NYPD spokesman said.
But defense lawyer Raya points out that the report the victim first made to the Howell New Jersey police department makes no mention of any threat with a bottle. "When speaking to the police officer at the scene, she never indicated she had been threatened with a beer bottle, glass or anything else," Raya said.
Howell, New Jersey police confirm the woman called 9-1-1 and later filed a complaint against Marc Sorrentino, 31. The woman, Kathryn Redino, 24, called for help on October 20. But at that time, the lawyer state records show she only claimed Marc Sorrentino had hit her with the back of his hand.
But Redino has since gone to New York City police to claim she was taken against her will in the limousine to New Jersey, an NYPD spokesman said.
At her Manhattan home, Redino's roommate said she is too upset to talk about the incident with reporters.
An NYPD spokesman at first told NBCNewYork.com that based on the woman's official complaint, the NYPD was looking to "arrest" Sorrentino. The NYPD press office now says Sorrentino is "not being sought at this time." The spokesman clarified the NYPD's position and said "the investigation is ongoing."
New York police said the alleged victim was partying with 'The Situation' at the 1 Oak Club in Chelsea. A group of 5 then went to the limo to listen to music. They went on to a house party along West 26th Street.
As the night was ending, instead of dropping Redino home uptown, police said she claims Marc Sorrentino tried to kick her out of the car at the Holland Tunnel. When the woman refused, police said Redino then stayed in the limousine with the Sorrentinos as they continued on to Howell, N.J. - where Marc Sorrentino has a home.
"The fact that this woman can claim she was unlawfully imprisoned in a limo by someone who asked her to leave the limo on a number of occasions boggles the mind," Raya said. "Clearly you cannot be falsely imprisoned and also asked to leave."
But Redino told the NYPD that the pair had tried to kick her out of the limo during the ride in New Jersey, telling her to go stand on the corner "like the whore you are." When she responded in kind about their mother, Redino alleges Marc smashed a bottle and then held it to her throat, an NYPD spokesman said. She then called 9-1-1, police said.
Howell police took a report - which makes no mention of a threat with a bottle - and did not file charges. Instead, the woman went to Howell Township court to file her own misdemeanor assault charge against Marc Sorrentino.
Sorrentino later went to the same court to file his own criminal complaint against Redino claiming she is lying to police about the incident.
Redino this week went to New York police complaining she had been taken against her will in the car and she wanted to press charges in New York as well. "There is currently a criminal complaint against Ms. Redino for misrepesenting the facts to the police as well as the court," Raya said.
NYPD officials said they now want to question everyone present during the incident.
A spokeswoman for Micheal Sorrentino declined comment referring calls to Marc Sorrentino's lawyer.
A spokeswoman for the Manhattan DA's office declined comment as no arrest has taken place in New York at this time. In Howell, police Captain Donna Craton confirmed the misdemeanor assault complaint was filed against Marc Sorrentino and said "the investigation is continuing into additional allegations made by Ms. Redino."
Law enforcement officials pointed out Redino did not mention the use of the broken bottle in her initial complaint with New Jersey authorities. "I think that she is lying," Raya said.
Mike Sorrentino, who this season took a turn on Dancing With the Stars, skyrocketed to pop culture fame after last year's debut of the MTV reality drama, "The Jersey Shore."

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Geno and the Swedes were hockey's biggest winners in Vegas.
Pittsburgh center Evgeni Malkin won the Hart Trophy on Wednesday night, becoming the NHL's most valuable player for the first time. Three Swedish players also claimed major trophies at the annual NHL Awards postseason ceremony, but the Penguins' Russian superstar claimed three awards for himself.
Malkin won the Hart for the first time at the Wynn Las Vegas casino, beating out Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist and Tampa Bay scorer Steven Stamkos. Malkin also collected the Art Ross Trophy as the league scoring champion and the Ted Lindsay Award from his fellow NHLPA members as the NHL's best player.
"It's the best day of my life," said Malkin, known to teammates and fans as Geno. "It's very exciting."
Malkin gathered the Hart, Ross and Lindsay awards next to him after the ceremony, only occasionally struggling in his ever-improving English to express his excitement. Malkin's 109-point season and steady leadership were even more impressive because he largely did it without teammate Sidney Crosby, who played just 22 games after his comeback from a concussion.
"I can't believe I'm sitting here, and around me there are three trophies," Malkin said. "It's an unbelievable day for me."
Malkin, who turns 26 next month, edged out Stamkos and Lundqvist, who still won the Vezina Trophy for the first time.
Lundqvist's win in his fourth Vezina nomination topped the impressive list of Swedish winners. Ottawa's Erik Karlsson won the Norris Trophy as the NHL's top defenseman, and Colorado's Gabriel Landeskog won the Calder Trophy as the top rookie.
Ottawa captain Daniel Alfredsson also won the King Clancy Trophy for humanitarian contributions to hockey.
"For sure, it's a great year for Sweden," Lundqvist said.
St. Louis also had a pretty good day in Vegas: Ken Hitchcock won the Jack Adams Trophy as the NHL's top coach for the first time in his lengthy career, while Blues general manager Doug Armstrong was selected he league's top executive. Blues goalies Jaroslav Halak and Brian Elliott also picked up their Jennings Trophy for allowing the fewest goals in the regular season.
Boston forward Patrice Bergeron won his first Selke Trophy as the NHL's top defensive forward. Florida's Brian Campbell became the first defenseman since 1954 to win the Lady Byng Trophy for sportsmanlike play, and Montreal forward Max Pacioretty won the Masterton Trophy for his comeback from serious injury.
But the spotlight was on Malkin, who won his first MVP award after arguably the most impressive season of his six-year career in Pittsburgh.
Malkin had a career-high 50 goals and 59 assists while carrying the Penguins during the extended injury absence of 2007 Hart winner Crosby. Malkin was the NHL's only 100-point scorer this season and the first scoring champion in a decade to win a second title despite being almost every opponent's top defensive target whenever they faced the Penguins.
Malkin also grew into a more prominent role outside of Crosby's shadow.
"Every year I'm a little bit more comfortable," he said. "I learn English, watch TV, go out with friends and teammates. I love this sport. I like my teammates, and I want to be the best."
Malkin scored eight points in the Penguins' six-game loss to Philadelphia in the first round of the playoffs. The four-time NHL All-Star then was named the MVP of the IIHF World Championships last month after leading the undefeated Russian team to the title.
Malkin was a Hart finalist for the third time. He won the vote over Stamkos, who already had wrapped up the Richard Trophy with an NHL-best 60 goals.
Lundqvist didn't seem disappointed about losing out on the Hart after the Rangers' tireless goalie finally claimed the Vezina. He went 39-18-5 with eight shutouts, a 1.97 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage while repeatedly keeping New York on track to the Eastern Conference's best record.
Lundqvist beat out Nashville's Pekka Rinne and Los Angeles' Jonathan Quick, who got two better prizes last week when he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the NHL's playoff MVP for backstopping the Kings to their first championship.
Karlsson appeared overwhelmed by his selection as the NHL's best defenseman. The 22-year-old had a big week, agreeing to a seven-year contract extension worth $45.5 million on Tuesday before beating out Boston's Zdeno Chara and Nashville's Shea Weber for his first Norris.
"It's a huge honor," said Karlsson, who led all defensemen with 78 points in his breakout season for the Senators. "I couldn't be more happy than I am right now. I've never been a part of something this big, and it's something that took me by surprise a little bit."
Karlsson also recognized the symbolism of winning the Norris in the same offseason as the retirement of Niklas Lidstrom, his fellow Swede and a seven-time Norris winner, including last season. Lidstrom retired from the Detroit Red Wings on May 31 after a 20-year career.
"He really took the game to another level and showed people how to play fun hockey," Karlsson said. "It's an honor to be mentioned in the same way."
Landeskog, who beat out Edmonton's Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and New Jersey playoff hero Adam Henrique for the Calder, had 22 goals and 30 assists for the Avalanche, who chose him with the second overall pick in last summer. The former Ontario Hockey League forward had little trouble adjusting to the NHL grind, playing in all 82 games for Colorado.
"To me, Ryan would have won it if he didn't get hurt, and if you counted the playoffs, Adam would have won it," Landeskog said. "I'm just trying to enjoy it, trying to soak it all in."
Bergeron beat out St. Louis captain David Backes and Detroit's Pavel Datsyuk, a three-time Selke winner. Boston's defensive stopper had 22 goals and 42 assists for the Bruins while racking up a plus-36 rating as a dominant two-way player.
"Ever since I was probably 12 years old, I never wanted to get scored on when I was on the ice," said Bergeron, a Stanley Cup champion in 2011.
Pacioretty broke a vertebra in his back and incurred a concussion on a hit from Chara on March 8, 2011, knocking him out for the season. He returned to the Canadiens last fall and had 33 goals and 32 assists for his most productive pro season.
The 60-year-old Hitchcock was recognized for his remarkable turnaround job in St. Louis, where he took over for Davis Payne 13 games into the season and turned the Blues into the Western Conference's No. 2 team, winning the Central Division and reaching the second round of the playoffs.
Hitchcock has a Stanley Cup ring from Dallas in 1999, but hadn't won the Adams Trophy in three previous nominations.
"I'll keep doing this for as long as I feel like I have the energy," Hitchcock said. "This year was just great."

Dizziness and hearing loss
Dizziness is caused when the delicate relationship between the inner ear, the eyes and the brain is damaged. Here's what you can do to get help for dizziness.
The balance organ is part of the inner ear, although the sense of balance actually comes from the coordination of three different body senses: the balance organ in the inner ear, the visual system and the muscles and joints in the body. Dizziness is what happens when there is a deficit in any of these three senses or the brain centers that tie them all together.
Because of the complex system that keeps you balanced, dizziness can actually come in many different forms—as a sensation of unsteadiness, spinning or general disorientation in relation to an individual's surroundings. Dizziness, therefore, is a symptom of a larger problem rather than a disease.
Inner ear causes of dizziness
Dizziness related to the inner ear is one of the most common types and it results from disturbances in the blood circulation or fluid pressure in the inner ear, pressure on the balance nerve or physiologic changes in the balance nerve. Any of these interruptions to the function of the inner ear may result in symptoms like tinnitus (ringing in the ears) or hearing loss as well as dizziness.
This dizziness caused by the inner ear may feel like a whirling or spinning sensation (vertigo), unsteadiness or lightheadedness and it may be constant or intermittent. It may be aggravated by certain head motions or sudden positional changes. Although nausea and vomiting may occur, one does not lose consciousness as a result of inner ear dizziness. The pattern of the symptoms experienced will depend on which functions of the inner ear are affected.
Other causes of dizziness
There are many other causes of dizziness which are not related to the function of the inner ear. If the brain is not able to coordinate the inputs from the three parts of the balance system, there is central dizziness. Central dizziness may be caused by migraines, tumors, infections and degenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis. Visual dizziness can occur if the eye muscles are imbalanced or there are errors of refraction, such as when you borrow a pair of eyeglasses from a friend with a different prescription.
Other causes of visual dizziness include intermittent inability to focus the eyes, difficulty reading or intermittent blurring of vision. Very rarely, dizzy symptoms may be caused by muscle or joint issues, such as unsteadiness due to muscular dystrophy. General health problems, such as diabetes, thyroid deficiency, vitamin deficiency, anemia and arterial blockage can cause dizziness as well.
Evaluating dizziness
Because the inner ear is the most common cause of dizziness, the first place to start with an evaluation is often a hearing test. The cochlea, our hearing organ, is contained within the same bony structure as the balance organ. A behavioral hearing test in a sound booth may be followed by an Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) test. An ABR test non-invasively records brainstem responses to sound stimuli. The brain waves are collected while you rest comfortably with your eyes closed. The presence or absence of hearing loss or auditory brainstem anomalies will provide clues to the physician about the cause of your symptoms.
Another common test for balance is VNG, or videonystagmography. Usually performed by an ENT physician or an audiologist, a VNG test uses video cameras to record eye movements while a patient tracks a visual stimulus, is moved into different positions and while the ear canals are stimulated with warm and cool air or water. This test gives a broad picture of whether the underlying issue is related to the inner ear or not.
Other tests to evaluate dizziness may be performed by a physical therapist, cardiologist or neurologist. As there are many systems involved in balance, there are many possible underlying causes for dizziness and many medical specialties that may be involved. A very common cause of dizziness that is often overlooked is the interaction of multiple prescription and/or over-the-counter medications. If you have recently changed or added a prescription to your daily routine, be sure to ask your physician about the possibility of dizziness as a side-effect.
Treatments for dizziness
Appropriate treatment for dizzy symptoms will depend on the underlying cause, so it is important that you see a physician for any of these symptoms. A physician might prescribe something to mitigate the dizzy symptoms temporarily but that medication must be discontinued at least 24 hours prior to an evaluation. Common causes of dizziness due to inner ear deficits include Meniere's disease, bacterial or viral infection of the inner ear, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), motion sickness, allergies, medications and circulatory conditions.
When the cause of the dizziness is determined and treated, the symptom will often go away. For BPPV, dizziness can be treated by a head positioning maneuver. In the case of medical conditions, like allergies, thyroid deficiency and diabetes, regulation of the condition will eliminate the dizziness. Many disorders can be treated with medication, surgery, diet, lifestyle changes or some combination of these. There are also physical therapists who specialize in vestibular rehabilitation, which is a treatment for balance disorders that gradually retrains the brain to compensate for lost sensory input from the balance system. For extreme cases, surgery may be warranted or a suppressant such as Valium may be prescribed to relieve the symptom.
When to get help
When part of your balance system is afflicted, the other parts can usually compensate for the deficit. Once the system is taxed, that compensation may fall short. For example, if you must take an ototoxic drug that destroys the balance organs of the inner ear, you can still stay quite balanced as long as your eyes are open. However, when you are asked to close your eyes, you may find it quite difficult to stay standing upright.
Even though your body will work to compensate the immediate loss, don't wait to seek help. If you experience any dizziness symptoms, you should talk to your physician or a hearing healthcare professional immediately so the underlying cause can be determined and the problem remediated.

Some nursing moms find they can eat whatever they like. While it's true that some strongly flavored foods may change the taste of your milk, most babies seem to enjoy a variety of breast milk flavors! Generally, the dominant flavors of your diet – whether soy sauce or chili peppers – were in your amniotic fluid during pregnancy.
Fetuses swallow a fair amount of amniotic fluid before birth, so when they taste those flavors again in their mother's breast milk, they're already accustomed to them.
Occasionally a baby will be fussy at the breast or gassy after you eat a particular food. If you notice a pattern, avoid that food for a few days. To test whether that food really was the cause, reintroduce it once and see if there's an effect.
Mothers report that babies most often object to these foods:
A daily cup or two of coffee is fine, but too much caffeine can interfere with your baby's sleep or make him fussy. Remember that caffeine is also found in some sodas, teas, and over-the-counter medicines.
It's also okay to have an occasional alcoholic drink, but having more than one drink increases your blood alcohol level to the point that the alcohol gets into your milk. If you plan on having more than one drink at a time, wait two hours per drink before resuming nursing (or nurse, then have your glass of wine). There's no need to pump and dump unless your breasts are full and it's still not time to feed your baby.
Moderate or heavy drinking is definitely not recommended while breastfeeding. An old wive's tale suggests that dark beer increases milk production, but recent studies suggest this is not true and that alcohol, in fact, reduces milk production.
If your baby has allergy symptoms (such as eczema, fussiness, congestion, or diarrhea), they may be caused by something he's in regular contact with, such as soap, mildew, or foods he's eating himself. Or he may be reacting to foods you eat that get into his system via your breast milk. It usually requires a bit of detective work to figure out exactly what's causing the sensitivity.
If you think that something you're eating is causing problems for your baby, it's usually something you've eaten two to six hours before feeding. The most common culprits include cows' milk products, followed by soy, wheat, egg, nuts, and corn or corn syrup.
Talk to your baby's doctor before you omit any foods from your diet. If avoiding a food could cause a nutritional imbalance (for example, if you eliminate all dairy products), you may need to see a nutritionist for advice on substituting other foods or taking nutritional supplements. Continue taking your prenatal vitamin as long as your baby's fully breastfed to cover any gaps in your own diet.

NASHVILLE (AP) - The number of patients sickened in Tennessee by an outbreak of fungal meningitis has risen to 80, but the number of deaths in the state remained at 13.
The Tennessee Health Department reported on its website on Thursday that the number of patients who have meningitis, abscesses or stroke associated with an epidural steroid injection has risen by one.
The outbreak of the non-contagious fungal meningitis has sickened more than 400 people around the country and caused more than 30 deaths.
The steroid injections were recalled by the Massachusetts-based New England Compounding Center, and its operations have been suspended. Federal and state investigators have found evidence of unsanitary conditions and practices at the company, and federal investigators are conducting a criminal investigation.

The total of 1700 miles is an accurate figure, possibly even low. The total comes from TMPs, currently proposed trail systems and trails systems in the construction stages located on the Deschutes, Ochoco, Willamette, Freemont and Winema forests. It is a direct result of coordinating various user groups and PNW clubs using the same model that Arlene does. It is also a testament to what we can do when we refuse to take "no" for an answer and refuse to continue doing things the same old way.

Thank you for the clarification. You do realize that in Deschutes/Ochocho, Freemont/Winema and Willamette that ROD's have not yet been signed and all that is subject to change. While you have done well, it would be somewhat premature to start counting mile just yet, especially since Willamette is not likely to grant any ML 1 roads and I don't see any desiginated class II trails outside of Santiam Pass area

Long ago when I was very young, a friend of mine had a chicken farm. One of his favorite sayings was "never count the chickens at night". For months I wondered what this meant. Finally one day I asked him why. We were within ear shot of his father and the little boy answered me that no matter how carefully he closed the door the night before the fox always got in and carried off some of the chickens by morning. I looked at the big doors and they looked mighty and strong and I could not imagine a fox getting through them. His father turned and seeing me frowning soooo said, "You need not worry he always leaves more than he takes".
In reality the old chicken farmer arose each morning about two hours ahead of his little egg gathers and due to nature and perhaps a fox or skunk some chickens had perished during the night and due to the carnivorous nature of the other chickens the first job was to remove the dead ones from the chicken pen. His second job was to dispatch any chickens not laying or not looking so well for the soup pot which he sold to the surrounding stores and neighbors. The fox was an easy way to say to his young'ns that some of the chickens had gone to heaven and it kept each child mindful of keeping the doors locked up tight.
The moral of this story is simple however; don't count your chickens till the morning daylight that way one can see how many he really truly has.
There is another story that comes to mind it was originally Chicken Licken later known as Chicken Little. Perhaps some should take the time to read it. Depending on the version and whom you are the moral changes from book to book and from person to person. In one the Chicken jumps to a conclusion and whips the populace into Mass Hysteria and the fox uses this to manipulate them for his own benefit; mainly his dinner pot. The other moral and the one I believe in is the happy version which teaches us a lesson. This lesson is not to be a Chicken, but to have courage and take the time to truly figure out what hit you on the head, where it really came from and adjust. Above all do not believe everything you are told by a hysterical Chicken with no guts.
We here in Region 6 have spent hours, days, weeks months and now years with Chicken Licken. There is no way to understand her Hysteria but at least she is no longer leading us to a foxy loxy dinner pot. However if you continue to sit on your hands and allow untruths to flow from your lips perhaps you can stir up a few henny penny, goosey loosies etc to follow you to the lands of no trails.
Neither I nor any of us will follow you down this path. As we are carefully laying our fire pits and oiling up our pans for our own dinner party. We will be joining hundreds of Motorized users on new trails that will be designated 4X4 trails in the next few years. It matters so little if these trails number 17 miles or 3300 miles; there will be more then than there is today.
Yes we are at war with the anti-access groups. They have a pledge; which is to remove all motorized vehicles (mechanized machines) from public lands, period. Approximately 97 percent of all Americans accessing public lands do not believe in this goal. This is the simple thing we are trying to stop. The majority of Americans want the right to access public lands in a motorized vehicle for what ever reason. It is simple; you can join us or sit on your hands; it is your choice. If you are sitting on your hands please remain silent as that is the message the rest of the world hears, your silence. Add your vehicles to foxy loxy dinner pot as it has no value.
One day the smoke and dust will clear and as in any war some will win and others will loose. I will not sit on my hands or my past deeds; as my dream is for our great great grand children's children to drive my jeep on the trails made by the people of Region 6 and other PNW clubs long after my bones are dust. Our strength is in numbers and we need each and every one of you to help us to achieve the above goal. It is a worthy one and it will help us to become one strong adversary that stands toe to toe against the anti-access groups.
* Wikipedia: Depending on the version of the story the moral changes, in the "happy ending" version, the moral is not to be a "Chicken", but to have courage. In other versions the moral is usually interpreted to mean "do not believe everything you are told". In the latter case, it could well be a cautionary political tale: The Chicken jumps to a conclusion and whips the populace into mass hysteria, which the unscrupulous fox uses to manipulate them for his own benefit, sometimes as supper.

Springfield, OR Regional Forester Mary Wagner announced today that Meg Mitchell will be the new Forest Supervisor for the 1.7 million acre Willamette National Forest. Im so pleased that Meg will be leading the Willamette into this next decade of forest management said Wagner. So many important challenges confront our National Forests as we seek to fulfill our long tradition of service in our communities. Meg brings a strong background in natural resources and communities; Im confident that Megs ethic of service will be a great fit for the Willamette.
Mitchell comes to the Willamette National Forest with 20 years of service in the agency, most recently as Forest Supervisor on the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests in Vermont. Mitchell has also worked in Washington, DC for three years and Alaska for nine years. The summers of her youth were spent with the The Nature Conservancy and Colorado State Extension Service. Mitchell has a degree in Landscape Architecture from Colorado State University and a Masters in Forestry from the University of Idaho. Im looking forward to serving on the Willamette and being a part of their strong tradition of providing high quality services and sustainable products, managing public lands with future generations in mind. The Willamette is known for its highly motivated employees and strong relationships with the scientific community and other partners. On a personal note, Im thrilled to be returning to the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, and am especially looking forward to exploring the Willamettes world class waters, recreation areas, and Wildernesses.
Kim Titus will serve as the acting Forest Supervisor until Mitchell arrives in mid-October. Kim currently serves as the Branch Director in Planning, Science and Resource Information for Bureau of Land Managements Oregon State Office in Portland. For further information, please contact Judith McHugh at 541.225.6305.

Green Mountain, VT is home to Green Mountain College. It is one of the few and premier colleges based upon environementalist principles and sustainability. When the USFS has had it's surveys, they come from Green Mountain College. Since the new supervisor is from that area and the environmental slant is so great in that area, I think that we are going to have to work very hard with her to get OHV on the map. I find the comment that she thinks of Willamette Forest being "big water" and that the activity here is water based....to me it shows she has a very limited understanding of this forest as it is more than big water.
