A top British police dog handler attempted suicide after leaving two of his charges to die in an unventilated car.
London Police Sgt. Ian Craven threw himself from a car and later slashed his wrists after learning two Metropolitan Police dogs - a German Shepherd puppy and a working Belgian Malinois - died after he left them in a private car at the Metropolitan Police's dog training centre in Keston, Kent, according to the Daily Mail. Craven, who was being treated for his injuries, was blamed for a similar dog death in 2004, a spaniel who died in a hot vehicle at the same center.
"The suffering those dogs went through is too unbearable to think about," a worker at the centre, Tina Dale, said. "I'm in bits, we tried so so hard, but it was too long, the damage had been done. What a bloody awful way to die."
Police broke into the vehicle Sunday after being alerted and found both dogs collapsed, according to the BBC. They were taken to a London veterinary hospital, where both died. Craven, who had been assigned to work at the Olympic site in East London, was on his way back to the facility when he was told that the animals had died, according to the Daily Mail. He leaped from the car and fled and was found later with self-inflicted wounds.

With X-Men Origins: Wolverine opening in a mere few days, there's plenty of talk surrounding the X-Men franchise, sequels and spinoffs. Most of that talk centers around X-Men: First Class, the next X-project on the Fox's development slate.
Two weeks ago, we found out some more details regarding X-Men: First Class where it was revealed that it would be another prequel tied into the X-Men movies that we've seen so far and not its own separate franchise that would hopefully follow a more accurate continuity from the comics.
Most blogs and movie news sites out there reported the news but none really explored the idea of who would actually be in the movie. In that report, producer Lauren Shuler-Donner discussed X-Men: First Class:
"It is the first class of Xavier's school, way back when, so it's young Scott, young Jean, young Beast and that'll be really fun, I think (the plan) is to follow some of the characters into their own stories, and weave them back into the X-Men world."
"And hopefully First Class will become its own franchise and we can follow them as they grow up."
But Lauren, what about young Iceman and young Angel? Just kidding! I know you guys already messed that up.
I've said this before in other X-Men threads here on Screen Rant: the more changes and deviations from the source material that Fox makes with these movies, each successive movie becomes further and further distanced than the comics to the point where none of the characters and their histories resemble what they should.
We're starting to see this really take effect now with characters showing up twenty years before they should in the Wolverine spinoff, and it'll be at the forefront of X-Men: First Class with a roster that will be 40% different than that of the comic series it's based on.
So, who is going to be on the First Class Roster?
In the comics, the X-Men: First Class series represents an early look at the original five X-Men characters: Angel, Beast, Cyclops, Iceman and Jean Grey all under the teachings of Professor X.
In the X-Men movies however, Iceman is recruited into Xavier's school for the gifted much later than the other core mutants and we don't meet Angel until the third movie (he's never actually a member of the X-Men) so we know they're not involved.
As Donner says in her interview, we can expect to see the obvious characters of Cyclops, Jean and Beast. The other two (or more?) choices are up in the air but we can certainly piece together the possibilities from what we know about X-Men Origins: Wolverine. We can expect a lot of bridging between that movie and First Class since writer Josh Schwartz had to update his script with re-writes because of the additional footage shot later for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Young Cyclops and Emma Frost from X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Fox's take on the Wolverine origin story introduces us to a young Cyclops and a young Emma Frost, a prominent couple in modern X-Men comics. The movies are chronologically reversed from the comics in that aspect. In Marvel continuity, Cyclops is with Jean before meeting Emma and only hooks up with her years after Jean's death.
It's an easy assumption to make that we'll therefore see Emma Frost as part of the original X-Men five which would make for an interesting love triangle (and a possible reason for Emma leaving the team and not being in the X-trilogy?). It's also likely that Tim Pocock and Tahyna Tozzi who play Scott Summers and Emma Frost in X-Men Origins: Wolverine respectively would reprise their roles since First class takes place shortly after the events of that movie. They've already been cast as those characters once and are the right age, why else would they even be in the Wolverine film?
So, if Emma's a part of the team, we still have one more spot. The obvious guess to fill the void would be Gambit – a fan favorite who finally makes his on-screen debut in the Wolverine origin movie and who's played by young Taylor Kitsch (who also happens to have a three-picture contract), making him the right age to fit into X-Men: First Class. On top of that, with no Wolverine as part of the team, the Ragin' Cajun can take the role of the independent keeps-to-himself bad-ass (that's a reason Gambit was left out of X-Men 3). Unfortunately for us Gambit fans, that doesn't appear to be the case.

They are more modern lamps and they're actually installed in the roof itself. You can typically control how smart or gentle the light is through the use of a dimmer. Which means that you can either ensure that the surroundings is exquisite for a romantic environment or they could be very bright. You'll also find spot lamps to be another form of roof lamps that are also very helpful if you need to make certain that you achieve an extremely specific level or course of lamps. These lights are usually grouped in two, 3 or 4 about the same bracket. The bracket can be produced of materials such as hardwood, plastic or material – depending on your choice. They could be positioned in virtually any direction which means that there may be areas that are well lit as well as others that aren't. This is done exactly to your preference.

|Name of Activity
|Ramp Cars: Wheel and Axle
|Kelly Clark
|ramp, cars, beams, axles, bushings, wheels, Simple Machines, Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy, friction
|Simple Machines
|Grade Level
|1 Hour Total
|Brief Description
|Using LEGOs, students will build a car to travel the farthest distance off a ramp.
|Lesson Objectives:
|– To learn about wheels and axles.
– To introduce potential and kinetic energy.
|Materials Needed:
|– LEGO Simple Machine kits or homemade kits with lots of beams, axles, bushings
and wheels.
– Ramp.
– Recording sheet.
– 'Ramp Cars' Worksheet.
|Preparation and Set Up:
|– Set up a testing ramp.
— Mark starting point on ramp to start cars.
— Mark the spot at the bottom of the ramp that students will measure distance traveled from.
– Make one copy of the 'Ramp Cars' worksheet for each student.
– Arrange students in pairs.
– Distribute materials.
|Necessary Background
|This activity explores the concepts of kinetic and potential energy. A car moving down a slope converts potential energy into kinetic energy. Potential energy is the amount of stored energy the car has when it is sitting at the top of the ramp. As the car moves down the ramp it converts potential energy into kinetic energy – the energy of movement of the car. At the bottom of the ramp the car has converted all the potential energy to kinetic energy. The point just at the bottom of the ramp is the point at which the car has its maximum kinetic energy. The car will slow at the bottom of the ramp due to loss of energy to the floor through friction – the force between the car tires and the ground.
|Extensions or Modifications:
|You can modify this activity to be applicable to older grades by having student graph distance v. time, taking the mass of their cars and predicting how far their car will travel using mathematics.

OCC Bulletin 2007-45| November 14, 2007
Identity Theft Red Flags and Address Discrepancies: Final Rulemaking
Chief Executive Officers and Compliance Officers of All National Banks, Federal Branches and Agencies, Third-Party Service Providers, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
The guidance attached to this bulletin continues to apply to federal savings associations.
The federal financial institution regulatory agencies and the Federal Trade Commission (agencies) are issuing a final rulemaking titled "Identity Theft Red Flags and Address Discrepancies" to implement sections 114 and 315 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003. Covered financial institutions and creditors will have until November 1, 2008, to comply with the final rules.
The final rules implementing section 114 require each financial institution and creditor that holds "covered accounts" to develop and implement a written identity theft prevention program that includes policies and procedures for detecting, preventing, and mitigating identity theft in connection with account openings and existing accounts. A covered account is any consumer account, or any other account that the financial institution or creditor offers or maintains for which there is a reasonably foreseeable risk to consumers or to the safety and soundness of the financial institution or creditor from identity theft.
The agencies are issuing guidelines to assist covered entities in developing and implementing an identity theft prevention program. The guidelines include a supplement that identifies 26 patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity that are "red flags" signaling possible identity theft. Entities may consider these examples in identifying red flags that are relevant to detecting identity theft in connection with their own operations.
The final rules implementing section 114 also require credit card and debit card issuers to develop policies and procedures to assess the validity of a notification of a change of address followed closely by a request for an additional or a replacement card.
Additional rules implementing section 315 require users of consumer reports, such as banks that use credit reports, to develop reasonable policies and procedures regarding notices of address discrepancies they receive from a consumer reporting agency (CRA). If a user of a consumer report receives notice from a CRA that a consumer's address it has provided to obtain the report "substantially differs" from the consumer's address in the CRA's file, the user must provide the CRA with an address for the consumer that the user has reasonably confirmed is accurate.
You may direct any questions to your supervisory office or OCC Compliance Division (202) 649-5470.

A large crowd of residents gathered for a candlelight vigil for the victims of the Aurora, Colorado shooting on the steps of the First Congregational Church.
Twelve people were killed and dozens more were injured in Aurora after James Holmes opened fire on a crowded theater during a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises." The rally was organized by 22-year-old Southington High School graduate Alex Vivian, in cooperation with Rev. Dawn Karlson, the church's youth minister.
"After the shooting, I saw my friends sending love to Colorado on Facebook," Vivian said. "It was nice but I thought there must be more we can do."
Pictures of the dozen victims were placed on the steps of the church. Later in the vigil, candles were lit for each of them while attendees lit their own candles. The ceremony also included speakers reading quotes about non-violence and some low-key music performances.
"We're tired of the violence that fills our world, our news and our lives," Karlson said during a prayer. "We can't help but wonder, when will it stop?"
She noted that people of Vivian's age were "often not listened to," while several of the spectators said they were impressed.
"I'm here to support young people who want to take a stand and ask for more peace in the world," said resident Lynn Grenier.
The event was meant to give moral support to those grieving in Colorado, but Vivian and other speakers also advocated a tougher approach to guns in America. Specifically, he called for the federal ban on assault weapons, which expired in 2004, to be re-instated. The weapons used by Holmes during the massacre would have been banned if this legislation was still active.
"In my lifetime, we have seen too many tragedies like this," he said. "It's time to say enough is enough. Handguns and hunting rifles have a place in America. These assault rifles do not. These weapons are not needed on our streets."
Petitions were passed along through the crowd and the issue was discussed in more detail by Ellen Perkins Simpson of New Britain's Friendship Center. She spoke about two children she knew who had been recently shot and killed. She also shared an anecdote about police officers who shared their amazement with her about seeing criminals on the streets with weapons as powerful as their own.
"We don't want to live in a society where kids can't be safe going to a movie," Perkins said.
The event was swarmed with television news cameras and Karlson said afterwards that she was pleasantly surprised by the large amount of residents who attended.

John Mackey, the former Colts great who was inducted into the Hall of Fame earlier this month, received his ring at halftime of the Miami Dolphins-New Orleans Saints preseason game last night at Memorial Stadium.
Mackey played with the Colts from 1963 to 1971 and finished his career in 1972 with the San Diego Chargers.
He became only the second tight end to go into the Hall of Fame this year, joining Mike Ditka, who coaches the Chicago Bears.
Mackey had 331 receptions for 5,236 yards and 28 touchdowns in his NFL career.
In what has become a memorable line, Mackey told Hall of Fame officials he would accept his ring in Baltimore or they could mail it to him.
Welcoming golden arms
Pre-game ceremonies included the re-enactment of Hall of Fame quarterback John Unitas' final touchdown pass as a Colt on Dec. 3, 1972. Receiver Eddie Hinton, who scored on that play, was on hand for the occasion.
Unitas was given a rousing welcome from the crowd.
Recalling the kick
Baltimore missed a chance to capitalize on the memories of the old Colts when game officials barred national media from the Hit And Run Club before the game. Reporters from out of town were disappointed because they wanted to add some old Baltimore flavor to their stories.
The old Colts swapped stories, and one of the best involved place-kicker Jim O'Brien and the Colts' victory in Super Bowl V in Miami's Orange Bowl.
O'Brien had never kicked on artificial turf before and was apprehensive. "I hope they're not counting on me tomorrow," he said the night before the game.
O'Brien's worst fears were realized in the second quarter when his extra-point try after Unitas' 75-yard touchdown pass to Mackey was blocked. But he saved the day when he hit a
32-yarder that won the game, 16-13.
Belgrad a happy man
After the game, Herbert J. Belgrad, chairman of the Maryland Stadium Authority, was wearing a smile that stretched from ear to ear.
"We couldn't anticipate it would turn out as well as it did. We just couldn't be more pleased."
Belgrad then held a combination news conference and pep rally as he congratulated the former Colts, the fans and all the officials who helped put the game on.
Matt DeVito, the chairman of the Rouse Corp., then said he had watched the game from the box of Tim Robbie, the Dolphins owner.
He said Robbie wasn't thrilled with the game, but he said when the cheers started for the old Colts, "it was as tough as another hurricane was coming. It was terrific."
Belgrad then provided a fitting finish to the evening by calling on Unitas.
"We certainly appreciate the support of the fans. My hat is off to all of you," Unitas said.
Roster shuffling
The Saints cut defensive end Otis Moore and fullback Cedric Smith to make room for safeties Brett Maxie and Gene Atkins for last night's game. Maxie and Atkins both ended lengthy holdouts this week.
The Saints also left six injured players in New Orleans along with another recent signee, cornerback Toi Cook.
Miami made one roster move before the game, activating fullback Tony Paige and waiving linebacker Andre Powell with an injury settlement.
The Dolphins left behind six injured starters: running back Mark Higgs, linebacker John Offerdahl, safety Jarvis Williams, wide receiver Mark Clayton, tackle Richmond Webb and cornerback Troy Vincent. Former Maryland tight end Ferrell Edmunds, who has played in only one preseason because of arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, stayed behind as well.
Big backers
The entire family of Malcolm Glazer, one of Baltimore's three would-be owners of an expansion team, attended the game. Baltimore native and author Tom Clancy watched the game from his father's season-ticket seats. And the third ownership group, clothing magnate Leonard "Boogie" Weinglass, movie-maker Barry Levinson and former Colt Joe Washington, were in a corporate tent before the game.

Live statistics and video streaming will be available for both games this weekend for a fee. Please click on the links above for more information. Harvard's game at Princeton will air on Verizon FIOS in the New Jersey area.
Thank You Seniors
The Class of 2011 has seen tremendous success in a crimson and white uniform. The four seniors have won 65.5 percent of their games and 78.4 percent of their Ivy contests heading into the final three games of the season.
Harvard has won an Ivy League title and made the first two WNIT appearances in program history during the Class of 2011's time at Harvard.
The foursome was a part of Harvard's 500th win in program history and helped Kathy Delaney-Smith earn her 400th and 450th career coaching victories.
Last Time Out
Harvard fell to Yale Saturday night, 78-64. Senior Emma Markley led the Crimson with 17 points, while two other Crimson players reached double figures.
Markley was 7-for-10 from the field with four rebounds. Victoria Lippert added 14 points included two threes. Brogan Berry also reached double figures with 13 points and led the Crimson with eight rebounds and four assists.
The Penn Series
Harvard has won 14 in a row against the Quakers and leads the series, 45-21. The Crimson is 19-11 against the Quakers at The Palestra.
Last Time We Met
Harvard needed a little extra time to secure a win over Penn Feb. 5. The Crimson defeated Penn, 88-84 in double overtime.
Emma Markley scored 21 points, grabbed six rebounds, collected four steals and blocked two shots in the win. Brogan Berry added 17 points for the second night in a row, including clutch free throws down the stretch, to go along with eight assists, six rebounds and three steals. Victoria Lippert chipped in with 16 points and a team-high 11 rebounds, while Christine Clark added 11 points.
The Crimson led by only one at the half and battled back and forth with the Quakers throughout the game.
The Princeton Series
Harvard leads the all-time series with the Tigers, 38-29. The Crimson had won six in a row before falling to Princeton in both games last year.
Last Time We Met
The Crimson had three players in double figures and shot 50 percent from the field to improve in a 73-67 win over Princeton Feb. 4.
Christine Clark equaled a then career-high in points for the fourth time, scoring 18 against the Tigers. She was 5-for-11 from the field and 8-for-8 from the charity stripe. She also pulled down five rebounds in 32 minutes of action. Brogan Berry added 17 points on a 7-for-10 shooting performance and eight assists. Victoria Lippert scored 14 points and pulled down a team-high seven rebounds.
The Crimson held a 35-25 lead at the half before Princeton cut into the advantage and took a 62-59 led in the final minute of the game.
On the Line
Christine Matera has started 53 games in a row for the Crimson. Brogan Berry has a streak of 68 straight games with at least one assist. She has one or more hand outs in 82 of the 83 games she has suited up for. Berry has 72 straight games with at least one point. Victoria Lippert has scored in 55 straight games.
Top-10 Lists
Emma Markley moved into 10th on the all-time rebounds list at Harvard after the Crimson's win over Columbia (Jan. 28). She has 628 rebounds to her credit. Markley is ninth in scoring with 1,257 career points.
Brogan Berry is sixth on the all-time assists list. She has 388 to her credit.
Joining the Club
Emma Markley became the 14th women's basketball player at Harvard to score at least 1,000 points. She scored her 1,000th career point when her eighth point of the game with 4:43 left against BU (Nov. 23).
Two months later, Brogan Berry became the 15th player to accomplish that feat, when her third basket of the game against Columbia (Feb. 19) gave her 1,001 career points. She enters the weekend with 1,032 points.
Moving On Up
Brogan Berry is sixth on the all-time career assists list with 388 handouts. She is 14 away from tying Heidi Kosh '91, who is fifth with 402. Jennifer Monti '02 holds the program record of 558.
A 1,000 Points
Brogan Berry and Emma Markley reached the 1,000 point mark during the 2010-11 season. It is only the second time in Crimson history that two players reached 1,000 points in the same year. Deb Flandermeyer '93 and Erin Maher '93 did it during the 1992-93 season.
Lighting Up the Scoreboard
Entering the week, Harvard is first in Ivy League scoring putting up 72.9 points per game, 3.7 better than second-place Princeton.
The Crimson ranks 30th in the nation in scoring as well.
The Right Touch
Four of the top-eight scorers in the Ivy League don the crimson and white. Brogan Berry is third (14.0 points per game), Victoria Lippert is fourth (13.8 ppg), Emma Markley is sixth (13.1 ppg) and Christine Clark is eighth (12.0 ppg).
Stellar Free Throw Shooting
The Crimson is shooting 76.5 percent from the free throw line, best in the Ivy League and 11th in the nation.
Christine Clark is first in the Ivy League and 54th in the nation with an 83.0 clip from the charity stripe.
In the Hoop
Harvard holds the second through fourth position in the top five in field goal percentage in the league. Victoria Lippert is second at .518, followed by Christine Clark (.512) and Emma Markley (.472). Brogan Berry (.459) is seventh.

Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell took the stand in his corruption trial for about two hours Wednesday afternoon.
Most of his testimony entailed establishing basic facts about his time in office, but it also briefly touched on his dealings with Star Scientific Inc. and his wife's reaction to becoming Virginia's first lady.
McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, are accused of accepting about $177,000 in gifts and loans from businessman Jonnie Williams while he was CEO of Star Scientific Inc., a dietary supplement maker.
Defense attorneys asked Bob McDonnell if he had done anything unusual for Williams' company.
"My administration did nothing for them other than give them access to government," McDonnell said.
Regarding Williams' presence at events at the governor's mansion, McDonnell said his administration was excited about the 200th anniversary of the mansion and wanted to host as many meetings and events at possible to show it off to as many people as possible.
McDonnell said his administration did advocate for Virginia businesses when it was in the best interest of the state. As governor he had control of a discretionary fund he used as he saw fit and he could add line items in the state budget to benefit businesses and let the General Assembly decide.
McDonnell spoke of the fine line elected officials walk regarding taking gifts and donations from people.
"If you can't take someone's money one day and vote against their interests the next day, you don't belong in this business," McDonnell said.
He also testified that his wife did not seem happy when he was elected governor of Virginia. He said the morning after he was elected in 2009, Maureen McDonnell seemed upset.
"She was yelling at me about something. It clearly exhibited some stress of what lay ahead for her in her new role as first lady," Bob McDonnell testified.
His first hour of testimony largely covered his biography – how he was raised, his education and his path to politics. McDonnell testified about the time spent campaigning and the stress it caused himself and his family, despite their support.
McDonnell said he decided to launch his run for attorney general in 2002, attending his first event in February, about three-and-a-half years before the primary, because of the size of the state.
"From Virginia Beach to the tip of the Cumberland Gap is 11 hours," he said. "I know. I drove back one night to see my boys before they went to Boy Scout camp."
Campaigning put a strain on his marriage and he missed things like soccer games, McDonnell said.
"This was the calling of my life," he said.
And his wife came from a family involved with public service, so she was supportive of his career, he testified.
The abbreviation of attorney general, AG, is often used for "aspiring governor," defense attorney Henry Asbill said. McDonnell said that was true for him.
And as he campaigned for governor -- stepping down as attorney general in 2009 because that needs to be a full-time job, he said – he worked "as long as you could go."
"There was always one more event you could attend, one more voter you could talk to," he said.
McDonnell is expected to return to the stand Thursday, possibly all day, when he will answer questions about his marriage. He may also take the stand Friday.
A couple of character witnesses were called after the lunch break, including Father Timothy Scully, a Notre Dame political science professor who has been a friend of Bob McDonnell since they roomed together for four years at Notre Dame beginning in 1972.

— Julie Carey (@JulieCareyNBC) August 20, 2014
"He is a person of great moral character and strength of character," Scully said.
He described McDonnell as a man of integrity and honesty. "He embodies virtue," said Scully.
"Bob has never erred from the truth," he said.
He testified to his absolute belief that the McDonnells love each other.
Asked if he was aware of any problems in their marriage, Scully said, "I would only be able to surmise that from my personal observations because Bob would never say one unkind thing about anyone, especially his wife. … One could see mercurial times in their relationship, so I would worry about that and pray for them."
Asked if their friendship had anything to do with ideology, Scully said, "No. I grew up in Cook County [Illinois]. There are no Republicans in Cook County."
Also Wednesday, a forensic accountant hired by the defense testified that the McDonnells were on sound financial footing when they accepted the gifts.
J. Allen Kosowsky was paid about $80,000 to analyze the finances of the McDonnells and the real estate company that the governor owned with his sister.
The defense expert presented charts that showed the McDonnells' heavy credit card debt was declining, and that the family could have accessed other cash if needed.
The testimony is intended to counter the government's claims that the former first couple and a real estate partnership between Bob McDonnell and his sister were struggling financially.
Prosecutors allege that financial desperation led the former first couple of Virginia to accept the money from then-CEO Jonnie Williams in exchange for helping his company, Star Scientific.

— Julie Carey (@JulieCareyNBC) August 20, 2014
During cross examination of Kosowsky, the government attempted to show how financially strapped the McDonnells would have been without loans from Williams.
Prosecutors say the McDonnells' financial desperation helped drive them to accept tens of thousands of dollars' worth of gifts and loans from Williams, then the CEO of Star Scientific Inc., in exchange for using their office to promote his company's dietary supplements.
On Wednesday, the prosecution cut away at some of the McDonnells' assets that Kosowsky used in his calculations.
Prosecutor Ryan Faulconer illustrated how a $50,000 loan from Williams to the McDonnells was used to pay off credit debt and how the McDonnells transferred debt from credit accounts to avoid higher interest rates.
Prosecutors showed that the main reason the McDonnells' credit picture improved was because of the $120,000 in loans from Williams.
Faulconer attacked a Kosowsky chart showing more than $67,000 in cash available to the McDonnells and MoBo Realty -- the company the governor owned with his sister -- in March 2012, noting that $50,000 loan in May 2011 and a $15,000 wedding gift from Williams to the McDonnells' daughter.
Faulconer also attacked the use of available credit as a factor in financial strength. Kosowsky defined "liquid" as readily available, but Faulconer questioned the inclusion of the ability to create credit debt as an asset.
Judge Spencer even jumped asking "you see that as good?" when expert included credit card limits as potential liquid assets for #McDonnells
— Julie Carey (@JulieCareyNBC) August 20, 2014
Regarding retirement accounts Kosowsky used in his calculations, Faulconer noted the taxes and penalties incurred when drawing from those accounts.

Workplace consultant James Burke also took the stand Wednesday.
Burke, director of Virginia Commonwealth University's performance and management group, testified to the struggles of the staff at the governor's mansion. He was asked to help with the staff in early October 2011.
Burke, who said he was very fond of Maureen McDonnell, testified that he suggested to Bob McDonnell that the first lady receive counseling and that she possibly moved to another residence.
Burke also said he discouraged the staff from taking their problems with the first lady to the governor, and he opposed a letter from the staff threatening to resign en masse.
In the letter addressed to Maureen McDonnell, a group of staffers wrote in part, "Each of us at one time of another has received a screaming phone call or nasty email, during work, in the evening, on the weekends and on holidays so that we now worry 24/7 about when to expect it.... It is the worst kind of bullying...."
Another member of Bob McDonnell's former cabinet testified next.
Todd Haymore, secretary of agriculture and forestry (two of Virginia's largest industries), offered similar testimony to that of three cabinet members who testified Monday.
Development and global marketing of agriculture and forestry were not part of the economic plan prior to the McDonnell administration. Grants are offered through a development fund for those industries, and Haymore testified McDonnell never asked him to do anything for Star Scientific or Jonnie Williams.
Daniel Cook, a CPA who has done taxes for the McDonnells and MoBo Realty, testified that the 2012 loans of $50,000 and $20,000 from Williams' Starwood Trust to MoBo were never concealed to him.
The prosecution asked if the name Jonnie Williams ever came up in connection with those loans, and Cook responded that it hadn't.
Bob McDonnell's Sister: "Absolutely" She Would Have Given Him Financial Help
On Tuesday, Bob McDonnell's sister, Maureen C. McDonnell, testified that she could have helped her brother or erased MoBo's red ink at any time.
A defense attorney asked, "If he [Bob McDonnell] needed money, did he know he could come to you?"
"Absolutely he did," she said.
But on cross examination, prosecutors challenged her claim, asking if that were true, why did MoBo rack up so many bank late fees and even get the water cut off at the beach houses for failure to pay bills.
Maureen C. McDonnell blamed the man who had handled the MoBo finances for years, her ex-husband Michael Uncapher. She further explained she had fallen ill after the birth of her daughter, and her husband was tasked with taking care of the whole family.
She also testified that loans from Williams were not the only option, just the first, and when she paid them back in summer 2013, she simply made a withdrawal from a 401K and sold some stock.
Maureen C. McDonnell also testified about the former first couple's relationship.
She testified that sometimes it seemed like the couple barely communicated. But she also recalled a phone call with her brother in which she could hear the first lady yelling at the governor in background.
"I saw the strain on their relationship after he became governor," she said.
The defense contends the state of the McDonnells' marriage is one reason they couldn't have criminally conspired to get gifts and loans from businessman Williams.

If Jesse Pinkman became the Walter White of street racing, we'd have this: The melodramatic, overdone, street racing epic Need For Speed. And this is the first trailer.
In what appears to be a fight for his dignity and possibly life, Aaron Paul is on the high end supercar street racing circuit where people just decide that racing a Bugatti, Koenigsegg, and a McLaren P1 on mountain roads is a solid idea. That's what you get when you base a movie on a video game that has no actual characters in it.
I can't tell if this trailer makes the new film look better or worse than Fast And The Furious, but it should be an interesting ride.

As athletes strive for the Olympic Gold this summer in London, Anthropology News takes an anthropological look into the Games.
Erika Robb Larkins looks to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and the spectacle that such mega-sports events bring to the city in her article The Spectacle of Security in Olympic Rio de Janeiro. Larkins particularly looks at the security aspect of these upcoming games, not of the games themselves but the state preparation of clearing the city, and particularly the favelas, of crime. Here is an excerpt:
John MacAloon (2006), discussing the relevance of the spectacle for an ethnographic analysis of the Olympics, argues for a more grounded, in-situ analysis. For MacAloon, if the spectacle works to mask a larger process of commodity production, the ethnography of the spectacle is necessarily a labor of defetishization, an examination of the way that locally situated social actors both reproduce and resist the spectacle. In light of this useful injunction, in this short piece, I trace the multilayered construction of Olympic Rio de Janeiro through an emphasis on the spectacle of security. More specifically, the city's favelas (or slums) are a privileged stage for violence, profiteering, and the performance of state power in the lead up to the Games.

The way a woman walks might be giving away a lot more about her than she knows, a new study says.
"Gait may be associated with orgasmic ability," is the title of a study appearing in the September issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
But not just any old walk, according to researchers. A woman who steps with an energetic, fluid stride is the one who's most likely shaking the Richter scale. "The discerning observer may infer women's experience of vaginal orgasm from a gait that comprises fluidity, energy, sensuality, freedom, and absence of both flaccid and locked muscles."
In order to test a theory linking blocked muscles to sexual function, researchers from the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium and the University of West Scotland in Paisley asked students to complete questionnaires on their sexual behavior.
The students were then divided into two groups, those who said they "often" or "always" have vaginal orgasms and those who said "never" or "rarely." The women were asked to walk 100 meters while thinking pleasant thoughts, as if they were on a warm beach, and then another 100 meters with the same scenario but adding a male about whom they had loving thoughts.
Two sexologists, blind to which women fell into which group, assessed the walks and correctly placed the students into either orgasmic or non-orgasmic groups 81 percent of the time.
For women just getting used to airport scanning machines that can see through their clothes, the result could be disconcerting. Will the airport security guards not only know what you look like naked, but whether you have orgasms?
Don't worry just yet. The walks don't easily fall into colloquial categories like "swivel hips" or "hootchie momma" or, my favorite from Jack Lemmon in "Some Like It Hot," "Jell-O on springs." Researcher Stuart Brody, professor of psychology at the University of West Scotland, calls these terms "silly" and says none of them apply.
"It is that the vaginally orgasmic women do not have blocked pelvic muscles. As a result, the walk is natural, with the natural unobstructed connection between leg, pelvis, and spine movement," says Brody.
That sounds vague, but Brody and colleagues do suggest that the sum of the length of a woman's stride, plus the amount of rotation of her vertebrae, might signal vaginal orgasm potential.
Also, all the women walked in flats, because "high heels distort the walk," he explains. So, women in heels are inscrutable, orgasmically speaking.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Evolutionary adaptation
In other words, an orgasmic walk may not be a seductive walk. Instead, Brody argues, it may be a sign of good mental health, confidence and a good sexual relationship. Ability to pick up those signs may be an evolutionary adaptation allowing potential mates to assess those qualities.
Other experts aren't quite ready to embrace any of this. The study, as Brody himself points out, was only on 16 Belgian university women. Second, Brody is among those who argue strenuously that there is a difference between clitoral and vaginal orgasms and that women can tell the difference.
The whole issue of female orgasm is still murky.
"There is absolutely no consensus whatsoever on the thing that makes a woman orgasm," reports Tierney Ahrold, a sex researcher at the University of Texas, Austin. "Female orgasm is a kind of unstable web of factors."
Brody and colleagues, in a statement sure to pique male anxiety, say men have a lot to do with it. Two women in the study were misdiagnosed as orgasmic though they reported never having had a vaginal orgasm. "It might be that the women have the capacity for vaginal orgasm, but have not yet had sufficient experience or met a man of sufficient quality to induce vaginal orgasm," the authors write.

2013 NAIA Softball Players of the Week ? No. 8
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Katie Cotta of Concordia (Calif.) has been tabbed as the NAIA National Softball Pitcher of the Week and Amanda Neumann of Bellevue (Neb.) has been named the NAIA National Softball Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. The duo was chosen based on their performances from April 22 – 28 out of a pool of conference player of the week selections among 21 conference/independent/unaffiliated groupings.
Cotta earns her second Pitcher of the Week award of 2013, with the first coming on March 19. Cotta threw two no-hitters, her eighth and ninth of the season, to lead the Eagles to their second-straight Golden State Athletic Conference/California Pacific Athletic Conference Tournament championship. For the week she pitched 12 innings, struck out 29, walked one, and picking up two wins.

Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen is helping the Obama administration counter Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan.
The debate is not new for Van Hollen, the top Democrat on the House budget committee that Ryan chairs.
Obama spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter told The Baltimore Sun that there are few better than Van Hollen at explaining the choices voters face. Van Hollen has traveled to New Hampshire and North Carolina to counter Ryan's plans to cut taxes and spending and use vouchers to overhaul Medicare. He also plans to help Vice President Joe Biden prepare to debate Ryan.
And he also has a re-election battle of his own, facing Republican Ken Timmerman in a redrawn district that includes parts of Montgomery County as well as more conservative Frederick and Carroll counties.

BALTIMORE – UMBC women's soccer returns to non-conference action on Friday, Sept. 6 when it welcomes Robert Morris to Retriever Soccer Park for a 7 p.m. first kick. The black and gold look to hand the Colonials their first loss of the 2013 campaign. All the action can be seen live on UMBCRetrievers.tv, free of charge, in addition to live stats being able at www.UMBCRetrievers.com.

The Retrievers (1-2-1) look to get back on the right foot, after falling in their latest contest, 3-0, to Drexel on Sunday afternoon. Senior goalkeeper Lauren Kadet (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) sits 13 stops shy of tying UMBC all-time saves leader Nadine Henchcliffe (1993-95), who amassed 339 saves in her career with the Dawgs. Kadet ranks second in the America East in saves (18) and saves per game (5.33).
UMBC junior forward Lilly Rydon (Stirling, South Australia/Concordia College) leads the team with a goal and an assist, while freshman forward Amanda Dailey (Howell, N.J./Freehold Township/Monmouth) has registered a team-best seven shots, with one reaching the back of the net.
Robert Morris (3-0-1) hits the road for the first time since the season began and enters the weekend unbeaten after its first four games. In its latest contest, the Colonials notched a 1-1 double overtime draw against Pittsburgh. Sophomore forward Madison Kozlowski tabbed her fourth goal of the last three games in the tie.

Netminders Chelsea de Jager and Becky Schoenecker have split time in net, combining for 18 saves and one shutout on the season.
All-time Series

Hundreds of national fashion brands steeped in local content and produced with international standard quality displayed at the Indonesia Fashion Week 2014. Representing the collective creative wealth of Indonesia, the Indonesia Fashion Week took place from 20th to 23rd February 2014 at the Jakarta Convention Center, Jakarta.
Indonesia Fashion Week 2014 will highlight the Green Movement as the new wave in the local fashion scene. Eco-friendly fashion products, also recognized as sustainable fashion or eco-fashion are those that are produced considering their impact on the natural and social environments. Among considerations are the use of eco-friendly substances, long lasting products, the reduction of carbon traces, as well as the welfare of fashion workers.
Putting together runway fashion shows, trade shows, seminars and a fashion design competition, the Indonesia Fashion Week (IFW) has become a heavyweight landmark event that grows extensively each year. This year, the event boasts over 512 brands of various fashion products including women's wear (Muslim, Casual, Cocktail & Party, and others), men's wear, kid's wear, accessories, and more.
The event will feature some of the most renowned names in Indonesia's Fashion scene: Priscilla Saputro who stunned the audience in last year's IFW with her Javanese hand-drawn batik prints, is back again this year with her latest creations. Widely considered to be one of Indonesia's top couture designer and kebaya pioneer, Anne Avantie will also showcase her masterpieces. From the genre of muslim wear, Dian Pelangi has managed to hold on to cultural roots, making it so adored by modern Muslim women. Hannie Hananto, on the other hand, puts a modern spin on traditional Muslim fashion, imbuing it with a quirky beatnik vibe that's full of fun and inspiration.
Other brands also showcasing their collections are: Adela Delima ,Albert Ferdy Sibarani, Audrey Aledya Chaerunnisa, Emmy, Ernesto, Ivana Tanos, Reizhard Fernando, Tifani Krismanawaty, Yusak Maulana, Fransisca Phang, Vonny Cynthia Kirana, Errin Ugaru, MOCCA by Irman Hakim, ZOYA, Risty Tagor, Ivan Gunawan, Nasaruddin, Khanaan Luqman Shamlan, Euis Rohaini, Yogiswari Prajanti, Alice Salindra, Retty Sellya, and many more

These international representatives are chosen by the World Fashion Week. On a special note, the Kofia Fashion School of Italy will showcase fashion designs based on Indonesian traditional masterpieces in Batik.

NEW YORK — By the end of "Lucky Guy," you're going to like Tom Hanks a lot more than Mike McAlary, the tabloid byline he plays with magnetic appeal in his Broadway debut.
That's exactly as it's meant to be. Hanks: Good-guy hero. McAlary: Hero, maybe. Good guy? Well, that's the more complicatedissue that Nora Ephron was getting at when she wrote this valentine to the New York tabloid wars of the 1980s and '90s along with the reporter who best exemplified them.
Ephron, herself a recovering tabloid writer who went on to fame and fortune in Hollywood, died last June, just after signing Hanks (who starred in her movies "Sleepless in Seattle" and "You've Got Mail") for the show.
Like any good newspaper story, the play opens in a bar. Highly lubricated reporters and editors, all male, are singing Irish drinking songs, stopping long enough to introduce themselves and the evening's subject. "The question is, Where to begin?" one asks.
"Although we know how it ends," says another, with a shrug.
Soon we're in the East Side newsroom of New York Newsday, in 1985 a latecomer to the wars and dubbed "the tabloid in a tutu" by the rougher teams at the Daily News and the New York Post.
Recruited as a police reporter and stationed in the Queens bureau, McAlary chafes at boilerplate assignments that make him a regular on Page 48.
Youthfully goofy, Hanks impersonates McAlary with uncanny ease: the curly hair and street-broom mustache, the lima-bean profile of his face and crinkling eyes that peered out from the sides of buses.
In time, his walk shifts from slouchily intimate to cocky and aloof — and the embodiment of self-interest.
Under the gruff tutelage of managing editor John Cotter (the impish Peter Gerety) and city editor Hap Hairston (the dour Courtney B. Vance), McAlary cultivates police sources, shows a gift for getting unwilling people to talk and develops a pugnacious, street-smart style.
Breaking important stories about police corruption eventually wins him a daily column in the manner of his idol, Jimmy Breslin.
"Any story you're on has only one real truth," Cotter tells him. "Go to the morgue and count the bodies."
And under the even more Svengali-like tutelage of Christopher McDonald's bespoke lawyer Eddie Hayes (best known for his work on the Andy Warhol estate), McAlary becomes a tabloid mercenary.
"Lucky Guy" is not so much a play as it is a brief, and it's been improved in subtle but significant ways by director George C. Wolfe.
He's sharpened the dialogue and clarified the action from earlier drafts and injected the show with his signature adrenaline rush: Staccato flashes of the "wood" — the newspaper term for headlines so big they had to be set in wooden type — frame the witnesses telling the story of McAlary's rise. Scenes change at a dizzying pace between bar and newsroom, newsroom and apartment.
Wolfe didn't eliminate the tired cliches: Mention poor people, gaze toward the balcony. Mention the New York Times, blurt an expletive. The fine actress Maura Tierney is wasted as McAlary's wife, Alice, for whom the term long-suffering seems an understatement.
Credit set designer David Rockwell for mostly staying out of the director's way with minimal furnishings, allowing Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer to establish atmosphere with meticulously varied lighting.
Leaving Newsday, McAlary jumps back and forth between the News and the Post, loyal only to the highest bidder as his price rose along with his ego, his sanctimony and his growing reliance on sources with agendas over shoe-leather reporting.
The inevitable fall from grace is a one-two punch: Drunk on the news of his latest $1-million dead, he nearly kills himself in a car crash. Soon after, McAlary mistakenly declares a rape in Brooklyn to have been a hoax.
But in Act II he's granted a second shot and, now humbled, comes through with the story of Abner Louima, an innocent black man gruesomely tortured by police. The Louima columns earn him a Pulitzer Prize, by which time he knows that cancer will soon kill him.
I was an editor at New York Newsday during McAlary's rise and later got to know him in the final months of his life. Briefly mentioned in the play is that when he got sick, he began writing magazine stories; I was his editor on several of them at New York magazine.
By that time, pain and mortality and the burden of providing for a family he would soon be leaving had left him gracious, soft-spoken and open to learning once again, in this case how to write long-form journalism. We had some fun and the stories were superb. But his heart was in the newsroom of a daily newspaper with its cranks, malcontents and hustlers.
Having won his Pulitzer, McAlary delivers his self-effacing farewell speech to a newsroom shocked at his diminished state. The words are his, but — especially as delivered with wrenching humility and humor by Hanks — I was reminded of Lou Gehrig's farewell in "Pride of the Yankees": "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this Earth."
By this time, we're with Broadway's newest star all the way. Even as McAlary himself remains exposed but unexamined.
_ Through June 16 at the Broadhurst Theatre, 235 W. 44th St. Information: +1-212-239-6200; www.telecharge.com.
Tom Hanks swaggers into Broadway stardom with 'Lucky Guy'

I'm seeing a bunch of posts elsewhere about crediting your United flights to other programs after the change to a revenue-based program next year.
Be careful about that.
In general people who fly more than 25,000 miles a year on United would still want to get status on United (upgrades, ability to grab Economy Plus seats for free), so I would be surprised if someone flying more than 25,000 miles a year would credit their flights elsewhere because of their fear of missing out on some miles. But either way…
Here is my concern:
If you credit your miles elsewhere, you will end up orphaning miles in another program. It will be difficult to earn exactly the number of miles you need for a trip, so some miles will likely be orphaned wherever you move them to. So you're not really gaining all the miles you think you are.
If you already have United miles, the miles you add to those miles make a greater range of trips possible. In other words, adding 14,000 miles to your 52,000 miles means you can fly round trip to Europe. Adding 19,000 miles to Turkish Airlines' program won't get you a trip to Europe.
If you're not flying that much, do you really want to manage multiple programs? To gain, what, 10,000 additional miles that you may end up orphaning anyway?
I could be convinced that it would make sense to credit your United flights to another program MAYBE if you earn the miles you need for a very specific trip, so that you're earning and spending those miles quickly. But to earn 19,000 miles with the possibility of orphaning them (which means not only do you basically lose those miles, you didn't get the lesser number of miles you could have earned by crediting to United) is not a risk I'm willing to take.
The reality is this: for some people they will earn fewer miles when they fly United (or Delta). For most people who have status, you may end up a bit worse, or you may end up a bit better (for everyone who complains about the $400 Transcon that only earns 2,000 miles, as a Gold I'll now earn 2,400 miles for that $300 ticket to Detroit). In any case, for the infrequent flyer, having to manage multiple programs and take the risk of losing those miles, I just don't believe it's worth it.

Towson, Md.- The UMBC men's lacrosse team built an 11-8 lead midway through the fourth quarter, but could not hang on and were edged, 12-11, by No. 19 Towson at Johnny Unitas Stadium.
The loss negated outstanding offensive efforts by junior attackmen Scott Jones (4 goals, 1 assist) and Joe Lustgarten (4 assists) and junior midfielder Scott Hopmann (Annapolis, Md./St. Mary's) , who scored a season-high four points (3 goals, 1 assist).
The game was tied after each of the first three quarters and the teams entered the fourth tied at 8-all. UMBC took control as sophomore attackman Matt Gregoire (Crofton, Md./South River) opened the stanza by finishing inside on a feed from freshman M/A Derek Bertolini (Madison, Conn.) 3:24 into the stanza. Jones scored his third goal of the game 56 seconds later, converting a pass from Hopmann and the Retrievers built the lead to 11-8 when Jones finished on the doorstep on a Lustgarten pass from behind.
But Retriever miscues cost them in the final 7:30 of the game. Towson's Thomas DeNapoli raked in a loose ball in front of the Retriever goal at the 7:30 mark to cut the lead to 11-9 and, after UMBC could not convert on a man-up opportunity, DeNapoli shaved the margin to 11-10 on a goal from the left side with 3:43 remaining.
Towson won the ensuing draw, but the Retriever defense responded with a blocked shot, resulting in a fast-break opportunity, but UMBC could not convert. Junior netminder Adam Cohen (Arnold, Md./Severn) made a save on Towson's next offensive possession, but the Retrievers turned it over on the clearing attempt. The Tigers reversed field and tied the game by finishing on a 4-on-3 break as Matt Hughes knotted the game at 11-all with 1:06 remaining.
On the game-deciding draw, the ball was loose by the sideline and UMBC was penalized for cross-check and the Tigers went man-up with 51 seconds to play. After failing on their first three attempts, the hosts got the ball inside, and Sean Maguire scored the game-winner with 17 seconds to play.
Towson (7-3) won the game's final draw and recorded its fifth consecutive victory. UMBC slipped to 3-5 on the season in its final non-conference game of the season.
UMBC outshot Towson, 42-30, but Towson junior goalkeeper Andrew Wascavage made a career-high 17 saves. Cohen had a season-low seven stops for the Retrievers.
Gregoire added two goals for UMBC, while Bertolini and senior midfielder Rob Grimm (Black River, N.Y.) had two assists apiece. The four assists were a career-best effort for Lustgarten (Wading River, N.Y.), the reigning America East Player of the Week.
DeNapoli and Carl Iacona led Towson with three goals each.
Both teams had two leads in the first half as the game was equalized on all four occasions. The Retrievers got the opening goal on Jones' 19th score of the season at the 6:35 mark of the first quarter. After Towson scored a pair of goals, Hopmann tied it on a goal from the left wing with 2:05 to play in the stanza and the game was deadlocked, 2-2, after 15 minutes.
Hopmann gave UMBC its second lead at 4-3 on his second score of the night with 3:52 to play in the half, but Iacona completed his hat trick with 1:03 remaining and the game was even again at 4-4 heading to the break.
The Tigers grabbed their first two-goal lead of the night, scoring twice in the first four minutes of the third quarter, but UMBC responded with a 4-0 run as four different players scored to give the visitors their first two-goal cushion of the night at 8-6 with 6:59 remaining in the third quarter. The hosts tied the score with two goals in a 42-second span, setting the stage for the climatic final stanza.
Jones has put together back-to-back five-point games and has recorded multiple points in 13 of his last 14 efforts.
UMBC scored on 2-of-3 extra-man opportunities and are now 6-of-8 in their last two contests.
The Retrievers will head for Vermont on Friday to prepare for a Saturday afternoon America East affair with the Catamounts.

A nice quick pasta for a weeknight.
Put a pot of salted water on to boil your pasta. Peel and dice an eggplant, chop an onion, and 4 cloves of garlic.
Brown the eggplant in batches and reserve.
Saute the garlic for a couple minutes, add the onions, oregano, thyme, and pepper flakes. When onions are cooked, deglaze with a bit of dry white wine or vermouth.
Drop your pasta.
Chiffonade a bunch of mint leaves. Reduce the wine and add a pint of cherry tomatoes. Cook until they burst, and add the reserved eggplant. Cook until the eggplant is tender, (some will "melt" into the sauce.) Check seasonings, stir in half the mint.
When the pasta is done, pull it and toss it with the sauce. If your "sauce" needs to be a little looser, add some pasta water.
Crumble feta cheese on top and top with the remaining mint and fresh ground black pepper.
