MEDWAY - Medway High School teacher Aubrie Rojee was selected as one of 45 other teachers around the world�for the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development�s 2014 Class of Emerging Leaders.
ASCD, a global organization that focuses on exceptional educational practices, announced the selection earlier this month.
Rojee, a social studies teacher, assumed a new role this year as the humanities instructional leader, overseeing teachers in the English, social studies, languages, music and art departments.
Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Dr. Armand Pires, who nominated Rojee for the class, said she "clearly had outstanding practices" in the classroom.
He said when she assumed the new position this year, her practices rubbed off on other humanities teachers.
"She became a teacher of teachers � in a very real way," he said. "She provided a lot of value to the professional environment there. When we see really promising leaders, we always try to provide an opportunity for them to gain some concrete experience."
He said teachers like Rojee with proven leadership skills tend to rise into "formal leadership roles" within the district.
"Part of what I saw, and what we in the district see, is that she clearly has outstanding practices," Pires said.
According to a release from ASCD, the two-year Emerging Leaders program will help advance the organizations positions and values, help shape education policy for the "whole child," and "explore multiple ASCD leadership pathways."
The 2014 Class of Emerging Leaders will also receive exclusive access to a pool of grant funds, the release said.
Rojee, who just finished her 12th year of teaching and fourth in Medway, said she believes teaching starts with the students.
"It�s something I�m extraordinarily passionate about," she said. "There isn�t an area of education that doesn�t absolutely enthrall me."
Rojee said she is excited to bring even more opportunities to Medway�s students and teachers, including attending events at the ASCD�s headquarters in Virginia this summer to network with the 45 other teachers worldwide who were selected.
She said her passion for teaching stems from a passion for learning.
"You constantly have to be educating yourself to become a better educator," Rojee said.

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 08, 2013
David L. Reich, MD, has been named President and Chief Operating Officer of The Mount Sinai Hospital, effective immediately. He has served in an interim capacity since January 2013, when Mount Sinai began a nationwide search for this position, with Dr. Reich as a candidate.
Dr. Reich, the Horace W. Goldsmith Professor and Chair of Anesthesiology since 2004, will continue to serve as Chair, while Mount Sinai conducts a new search to fill the Chair position.
"We are confident that The Mount Sinai Hospital will thrive under Dr. Reich's leadership and guidance," said Kenneth L. Davis, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Mount Sinai Health System. "He has provided exceptional leadership during his interim period, engineering creative solutions to relieve overcrowding in the Emergency Department, improving utilization of our operating rooms, and initiating design and construction projects to improve our capacity to deliver quaternary care and improve our infrastructure."
Dennis S. Charney, MD, Joel and Anne Ehrenkranz Dean, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and President for Academic Affairs, the Mount Sinai Health System, said, "Dr. Reich has created a new and refreshing esprit des corps in hospital administration with his extensive clinical experience and with his collaborative relationship with the Icahn School of Medicine. He possesses a warm and inclusive leadership style."
In accepting his new position, Dr. Reich said, "It is truly an honor to be a member of such an extraordinary team of medical professionals and to participate as Mount Sinai expands its services to patients not only in the metropolitan area, but also to patients worldwide."
Dr. Reich first arrived at Mount Sinai in 1984, and later completed a residency in anesthesiology and a fellowship in cardiothoracic anesthesia. Prior to his residency in anesthesiology, Dr. Reich completed two years of general surgery residency training at Harbor/UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California. He received his Bachelor of Science degree with highest distinction from Pennsylvania State University in 1980, and his medical degree from Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia in 1982, through the Penn State-Jefferson Five-Year Cooperative Program.
Dr. Reich served as President of The Mount Sinai Hospital Medical Board in 2011-2012. For 11 years, he has served on Mount Sinai's Appointments and Promotions Committee, and for nine years on the Executive Committee of the Mount Sinai Doctors Faculty Practice, Mount Sinai's multispecialty group practice. Dr. Reich also chairs the Faculty Practice Contracts Committee and serves on the Board of the Independent Practice Association. In 2011, Mount Sinai's nurses and Nursing leadership honored Dr. Reich with the 24th Annual Physician of the Year Special Recognition Award.
His research interests include neurocognitive outcome following cardiac surgery, outcome effects of intraoperative hemodynamics, medical informatics, and hemodynamic monitoring. He has published greater than 130 peer-reviewed articles, 30 invited articles or editorials, and 35 book chapters. He remains actively involved as a lecturer and leader in anesthesiology societies and international efforts to standardize medical ontologies.
In addition, Dr. Reich is an associate editor of the text Cardiac Anesthesia, lead editor of Monitoring in Anesthesia and Perioperative Care, and co-editor of the first edition of Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography, which is currently in press. He remains actively involved in clinical and informatics research in perioperative outcomes.

"Ashes to Ashes," which premieres tonight on BBC America, is a sequel to "Life on Mars," the 2006 series whose American remake ABC has just canceled. It's an unlikely thing, given that the first series' main character killed himself in the final episode (though perhaps survived in another reality) and that all the other characters were (possibly) figments of his imagination. But it's in that "perhaps" and "possibly" that "Ashes to Ashes" finds a way forward, and although it's not as good as the original, it pushes many of the same buttons and sews on a few new ones. It's quite enjoyable.
"Life on Mars" told the story of Manchester police detective Sam Tyler (John Simm) who, stuck in a coma in 2006, "wakes up" in 1973; at the end of a second season, he comes out of the coma, only to find that the present has lost its flavor and jumps off a building to get back to a livelier past. It was a show about television and the cultural change television embodies, a time-traveling parody/ critique of old-style police dramas that was itself an old-style police drama, marking the distance between today's cold forensic procedurals and the brawny action series of the 1970s, but also in changing ways of living, and what was gained and what was lost.
"Ashes to Ashes," which like its predecessor takes its name from a David Bowie song released in the year it's set, has less on its mind. More than anything, it's an expression of the success of its predecessor and particularly of the wild popularity of Philip Glenister's Gene Hunt, a pre-PC, righteous thug of a detective chief inspector who returns here with junior team members Chris Skelton (Marshall Lancaster) and Ray Carling (Dean Andrews), now permed. This is a machine to keep Gene Hunt on television; I can't argue with that.
It is 1981 now, and Hunt and company have moved down to London, where they do or do not reside inside the head of female Detective Inspector Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes). A trained psychologist who in 2008 had been studying the files of the late Sam Tyler, she has Tyler's 1973 friends ready to go when, shot in the line of duty, she awakens at the dawn of Thatcherism in his old job and predicament. Tyler has died in this timeline as well, after surviving his own suicide by seven years.
Got that?
Drake is convinced, not that it really matters, that this new old world is "a conscious construct induced by severe cranial trauma" experienced in the seconds before she lives or dies. As did Tyler, she regards everything around her as both imaginary and beyond her control, unreal and yet substantial. And though her experiences mirror his -- she gets mixed up with her mother (Amelia Bullmore), a high-powered anti-establishment lawyer, is haunted by an evil spirit guide in the form of the Pierrot figure from Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" video and drinks a lot -- the dread that infused "Life on Mars" is largely missing here, replaced by a kind of spiky bantering comedy between Drake and Hunt that owes something to such '80s detective shows as "Moonlighting" and "Remington Steele" but is far more vulgar. She's the sort of copper who'll say a suspect "doesn't possess delegational inclinations," and he's the sort who'll say something I can't write here.
The look of the series reflects its time in certain stylized shots and lighting effects, while Drake dresses in unlikely off-the-shoulder tops and painted-on designer jeans. Where the Manchester police station was dark and brutal, the London headquarters is all glass and light, with a checkerboard floor and ceiling for that "Alice Through the Looking Glass" touch, and the beery pub the detectives frequented has been switched out for an Italian restaurant, where everyone drinks wine.
The Britain of 1981 offers a polarized backdrop of anarchists and yuppies (whose materialistic villainy seems particularly, if accidentally, timely), with florid New Romantics in between. The Royal Wedding makes a cameo, and there are shout-outs to Pong and the neutron bomb, along with a soundtrack dominated by jittery post-punk and synth-pop.
Good times.

Today: Apple confirms the acquisition of Beats Electronics and Beats Music three weeks after the move was first reported, committing $3 billion to the headphones and streaming-music company founded by Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre. Also: Twitter rebounds in a big way, along with Workday and Palo Alto Networks.
The Lead: Apple officially buys Beats for $2.6 billion in cash, $400 million in stock
Apple confirmed the largest acquisition in its history Wednesday, the $3 billion purchase of headphones company Beats that will bring two music legends, Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre, to work for the Cupertino tech giant.
The deal, which will net Apple the Beats' Electronics headphones business and the Beats Music streaming service, cost $2.6 billion in cash and $400 million in stock that will take time to vest. The deal was first reported nearly three weeks ago, on May 8, when the Financial Times and other outlets quoted unnamed sources saying Apple would pay $3.2 billion for the Santa Monica-based company.
Along with the company's hardware and streaming service, Apple receives Iovine and Dre in a marriage of Silicon Valley tech and SoCal fame.
"The ugly truth is that there is such a Berlin Wall between Silicon Valley and L.A.," CEO Tim Cook told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Wednesday afternoon. "The two don't respect each other, don't understand each other."
Cook commended Iovine and Dre in media interviews, but did not announce the pair's titles within the organization; Iovine told the Journal that they would simply be "Jimmy and Dre."
"We have known these guys forever," Cook told The Associated Press of Iovine and Dre. "We've dated, we've gone steady and now we are getting married. This relationship started a decade ago, so we know there is an incredible cultural fit. These two guys have a very rare set of skills. It's like finding a particular grain of sand on the beach. It's that rare."
"I've always known in my heart that Beats belonged with Apple," Iovine said in Wednesday's news release. "The idea when we started the company was inspired by Apple's unmatched ability to marry culture and technology."
While other Silicon Valley companies have shown a penchant for big-money acquisitions such as the purchase of Beats, such moves have been rare for Apple. The deal gives the Cupertino tech giant a new product line of headphones and other audio peripherals after criticism of its lack of new products since the iPhone and iPad helped usher in the mobile era of computing.
Cook also praised the young streaming-music service Beats has spawned in his Journal interview.
"We love the subscription service that they built — we think it's the first one that really got it right," Cook said.
The Beats Music streaming service could be important to Apple, which has released a Pandora rival called iTunes Radio but has no answer to popular streaming services such as Spotify, which recently surpassed 10 million paying subscribers.
"They are buying into the future and the future is going to be streaming and subscription," Jon Irwin, the former president of streaming service Rhapsody, said after the deal first leaked. "Revenue from streaming and subscription is growing. Files and downloads are shrinking. Everyone has to engage in streaming and subscription."
Besides cofounders Iovine and Dre, Washington, D.C. private-equity firm The Carlyle Group appears to be a big winner in the acquisition: It paid about $500 million seven months ago for just under 50 percent of Beats Electronics, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Apple said Wednesday it expects the deal to close by the end of September. The company's stock reached 52-week highs for the third consecutive trading session Wednesday, but closed with a 0.3 percent decline at $624.01.
SV150 market report: Twitter, Workday and Palo Alto Networks rebound
Wall Street slipped slightly Wednesday, but some of Silicon Valley's most devalued stocks staged a comeback during and after the day's trading session.
Many of Silicon Valley's youngest public tech companies were the hardest hit in a wave of sell-offs during the past quarter, but Twitter, Workday and Palo Alto Networks managed to battle back from those depths Wednesday. Twitter, which ended Tuesday nearly 60 percent below highs reached at the end of 2013, jumped 10.7 percent to $33.77 after Nomura analyst Anthony DiClemente wrote a note that said, "Enough is enough." "The current price offers investors a unique opportunity to own a now-underappreciated digital media asset," DiClemente wrote in upgrading the San Francisco company's stock from "Neutral" to "Buy" with a $43 price target. Workday's rebound stemmed from the Pleasanton cloud software company's earnings report, which Canaccord Genuity analyst Richard Davis called "exceptional results on literally every metric;" shares gained 2.3 percent to $84.04. Palo Alto Networks declined by a dime in regular trading to $69.51, but zoomed to $77 in late trading after releasing earnings and announcing that a lawsuit with Sunnyvale's Juniper Networks had been settled after an earlier mistrial in the legal battle. The Santa Clara network-security company reported a net loss of $139.1 million, or $1.86 a share, on sales of $150.7 million, though those results were skewed by charges from the Juniper settlement, which includes a $175 million payment from Palo Alto Networks to Juniper; after accounting for that cash and other one-time charges, the company said it tallied a profit of $5.3 million, or 7 cents a share. Juniper closed with a 0.8 percent gain at $25.23 and moved closer to $25.50 in after-hours trades following the announcement.
Tesla Motors dropped 0.6 percent to $210.24 after Standard & Poor's gave its corporate credit a "junk" rating, and CEO Elon Musk's other Silicon Valley company, solar installer SolarCity, fell 2.3 percent to $51.98 after striking up a deal to offer discounts through Groupon. Facebook continued to deal with foreign issues, as the service crashed in post-coup Thailand and an Iranian official said that CEO Mark Zuckerberg had not been summoned to answer privacy concerns in the country — yet; the Menlo Park company's stock rose 3 cents to $63.51. Hewlett-Packard advanced 0.8 percent to $33.35 after a Gartner report said the Palo Alto company maintained its lead in server shipments, and Google fell 0.8 percent to $570.45 after an IDC report on smartphone shipments predicted Android would broaden its lead in that segment.
Up: Twitter, Workday, SunPower, Ruckus, Zynga, Nvidia, Juniper, HP, Intel, Netflix, NetApp, SanDisk, Cisco, Facebook
Down: eBay, SolarCity, Salesforce, Symantec, Pandora, Intuit, EA, AMD, Yahoo, Oracle, VMware, Google, Adobe, Tesla
The SV150 index of Silicon Valley's largest tech companies: Down 2.77, or 0.19 percent, to 1,450.53
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Down 11.99, or 0.28 percent, to 4,225.08

You probably don't know what Fallout Extreme was. Don't worry - even most of the ex-Black Isle developers I asked about it didn't even know that this game existed (which can tell you a lot about the lack of cooperation between Interplay's divisions at that time).
Fallout Extreme was a canceled squad-based first- and third-person tactical game for the Xbox, using the Unreal Engine and developed by Interplay's 14 Degrees East division (co-developers of Fallout Tactics). It was in development for a several months in 2000, but didn't really have a concrete development team and never made it out of concept. After it was canceled, Interplay's next attempt at making a console version of Fallout was Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, this time for both the Xbox and PS2.
I have recently managed to acquire some of the information about this ill-fated project. For now, I have information about the game's story, but I should also post a detailed description of its gameplay system soon as well.
It is unclear when exactly in the Fallout timeline the game was going to take place. According to the summary in a design document, "almost a century has passed" since the Great War, but it's probably just an error that would have been fixed in the final version of the game, just like the "I was born just after the bombs fell" in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
The Brotherhood of Steel (judging from the concept art, probably the Midwestern branch from Fallout Tactics), the "once silent organization", has been expanding and seizing more and more territory under their control. Their area of influence stretches as far as Alaska, where the Brotherhood's new headquarters is now located. The Brotherhood's agenda "leaves little room for the survival of radiation or FEV outbreak victims" (which actually sounds more like the Enclave than the BoS). Local humans are either drafted into the Brotherhood's ranks as cannon fodder or enslaved, and mutants are outright eradicated. It is the Brotherhood that the player would oppose during the first half of the game.
The player controls a squad of revolutionaries known as The Cause. Throughout the game, it would gain momentum, starting in Oregon, Washigton and Canada. Each reclaim town would vow loyalty to the player's cause.
However, after defeating the Brotherhood, the player would learn why the Brotherhood set out to Alaska in the first place. The rebels must now venture across the Bering Strait, through Russia and Mongolia and finally into China, in order to destroy the Doom's Day Missile that could obliterate what is left of America. The endgame would take place within the Forbidden City, where the Chinese Emperor resides.
Among the factions encountered along the way would be the Issaquah Nation, the Inuits, the Montauk, the Horde of Huns, Siberian Cossacks and finally the Army of the Golden Tiger and New Imperial Guard.
Here you can find the list of all locations that were going to appear in the game.

Infection in Vancouver
Am all over Nikki Reed. Was all over her friends with benefits relationship with Robert Pattinson. But am definitely not all over her relationship with Paris Latsis.
How long does Ebola Infection last?
Some say it can last a lifetime.
Paris Latsis was once engaged to that piece of sh-t f-cking diseased Ebola Paris Hilton. She ended up moving on to another rich Greek boy Stavros.
In other words, not only did Paris Latsis voluntarily expose himself to its black hole vagina, he also suffered the indignity of getting dumped by that black hole vagina. Shame. And contamination.
And now Nikki Reed is dating it.
As Lafayette would say: Hooker, you need to check yourself.
I love Nikki Reed. She is better than this.
Here's Nikki with Paris Latsis, carrier of the Ebola virus, heading to work in Vancouver for Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight Saga.
As I already mentioned last week, both Nikki and Ashley Greene have associated themselves with men with connections to Ebola Hilton.
And of course you know the Rachelle Lefevre drama broke last week. Ebola is lethal. It will stop at nothing. It will eat away at everything it touches, even by association.
You want to throw daggers? Throw them in Ebola Hilton's face.
It is the source of everything rotten, everything spoiled, everything sh-t.

- Some woods especially Jarrah vary in tone from light to dark and in grain from tight to soft. If you have a preference please email us the same day as your order.
- For thinner blades like the damascus, the saya may be slightly loose. If you'd like to buy a saya pin, we can drill a hole in your Fukui saya if the blade is in store.

Sick Set Thursday – An awesome virtual ChessCube chess set :)
A Sick Set Thursday with a difference . This is how the chess board looks on my "Sean" account. I guess I am pretty much boasting about how great my custom colors and Leipzig chess piece set go so well together. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make anyone jealous, but I do sometimes brag about it . There are 6 different piece sets to choose from, including the standard ChessCube Classic and Line sets, however I quite like the Leipzig piece set.
On these screenshots, you'll see 3 of the many different benefits I have of being a Premium member of ChessCube. 1 being the custom chess piece set (in this case the Leipzig set), 2 being the custom colors of the squares of the board, and 3 being ChessCube Analysis, which is showing me what the next best move would be. ChessCube Analysis becomes active while watching live games, or when reviewing your past played games.
In my opinion, this is an outstanding 'virtual chess set', and it definitely deserves to be the Sick Set of this week!
To learn more about the ChessCube Premium service, visit: http://www.chesscube.com/shop/membership/view
And with that, I'll get back to playing on my super cool ChessCube account

Today for Tombstone Tuesday I have a photo of the gravestone for John Hughes Cox and his wife Annie (nee Humphries). This is the couple whose Diary Extracts I have shown under the Old Documents Pages.
They married on 25th October 1866 at Haddenham Baptist Chapel, Haddenham, Buckinghamshire some details of which John wrote about in his Diary which are included in the transcript extract.
John and Annie went on to have 7 children and moved several times within Buckinghamshire to different farms that John had.
There is a similar stone either side of John and Annie's which are those of two of their children. This gravestone is near the edge of the churchyard at Lower Winchendon, Buckinghamshire and just behind it is one of the homes/farm where they lived for quite a while.
I get the feeling from the diary extracts that John and Annie were a very loving couple and I once had the chance of having a photo of them if I wanted it, but at the time I did not know how they were part of my family, so declined for a while. Sadly the "new" cousin that offered this has since died and I am not sure about asking his family if I could now have a copy of that photo!!
John and Annie were 3rd cousins to each other and both were 2 x great grandchildren to my 6 x great grandfather Cozens Read.

The star-studded dinner at Buckingham Palace did not feature William and Kate, who had "work commitments"
Tom Hanks, Helena Bonham-Carter, Tim Burton and Kristin Chenoweth were among the special guests as Queen Elizabeth hosted President Obama at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
And the stars' place in the entertainment world helped underscore a major tie between the countries.
"Over the years, we have enjoyed … any number of what we call films – and you might call movies," the Queen told her visitors. "[The] exchange of people and projects has enlarged and invigorated our common language – although I think you will agree we don't always use it in quite the same way."
The Queen, 85, referred to the "fond memories" of her initial meeting with the first family of the U.S. in 2009, when it gave her "much pleasure to welcome Mrs. Obama and your daughters here."
The President, for his part, sent wishes from his daughters Sasha, 9, and Malia, 12, who "adored you even before you let them ride in a carriage on the palace grounds," he told the Queen.
They made the comments at the beginning of the State Banquet in the palace's grand ballroom. The Obamas and the 170 special guests were entertained by the Scots Guards.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who helped welcome the Obamas earlier in the day, were not at the banquet because of work commitments, the palace said.
But on the guest list – which aimed to capture the cultural and business links between the two long-standing allies – was Virgin Atlantic boss Sir Richard Branson, as well as actor Kevin Spacey, who heads up the creative direction of the Old Vic Theater in London.
The group was set to dine on sole in crayfish sauce, lamb with basil, zucchini and sautéed radish, ending with a dessert of vanilla and kirsch cherry charlotte.

Vultures find free meat on a suburban street
Guilderland, N.Y.
They perch like solemn gargoyles on tree limbs and rooftops. They soar and glide with style. And they eat the meat that's left for them, morning after morning.
These are the vultures of Willey Street, a flock that's found a comfortable home in the Westmere section of Guilderland. The birds hang out on the quiet suburban street for one reason: Patricia House feeds them.
"The only thing they want is dead, raw meat," she said.
So that's what House places in her yard in the early morning, just beyond her back porch. The self-described animal lover believes she's helping the vultures survive a difficult winter when food might otherwise be scarce.
But neighbors are weary of living in an Alfred Hitchcock movie. The birds, famously macabre, are always lurking.
"They're creepy," said Mark Healey, whose parents live across from House.
"Our kids are afraid to walk past her house," said Brian Schneider, who lives a few homes away. "They run by to get to the school bus stop."
The ghoul factor is bad enough. But neighbors are really tired of the poop that rains down on their houses, cars and yards from creatures that seem perfectly content in this corner of suburbia.
"I counted 32 of them this morning," Healey said Tuesday. "More and more birds are coming."
With a wingspan of 5 to 6 feet, black and turkey vultures are elegant enough to be mistaken for bald eagles — from a distance, when they're soaring high above. But to most eyes, their beauty disappears with closer inspection. They have hideous heads, black or red, featherless and wrinkled, with beaks designed to pluck flesh from bone.
The Atlas of Breeding Birds in New York State describes turkey vultures thusly: "Repulsive to look at, offensive in habits, clumsy and awkward on the ground, but the personification of grace and skill in the air."
Vultures rarely attack, and they are not considered a threat to children or small animals. They prefer that somebody else do the dirty work.
I walked past two vultures on my way into House's living room. They didn't seem bothered.
Inside, House assured me she's not a kook, hoarder or crazy cat lady. She was once, in fact, the town's animal control officer. She retired from the Guilderland Police Department job in 2000.
"I'm not a fanatic," she said. "But I do care about animals."
House says she never meant to attract the flock. The whole mess started, she says, when she began feeding a pair of injured vultures.
Soon, the daily buffet began attracting an ever-larger crowd.
True to their reputation, vultures do enjoy a free meal.
"I want everybody to know that I'm not trying to create a problem," House said. "I tried to solve a problem by helping these animals survive the winter."
House believes the vultures should be considered little more than a minor neighborhood annoyance, akin to barking dogs or screaming children. Nevertheless, House says she's sympathetic to concerns about the fecal mess and will stop the feeding when the weather warms.
Problem solved?
Maybe not.
Neighbors say they've heard similar promises before, but House never stops the feasts. Complaints to the town, they add, never bring action.
Guilderland Supervisor Ken Runion and Police Chief Carol Lawlor each claimed there's little the town can do, because wildlife issues fall under the state's jurisdiction. A spokesman for the Department of Environmental Conservation said there's no law against feeding the birds.
Also, vultures are migratory birds (when they're not being fed) and are thus protected by federal law. Neighbors, no matter how frustrated, are prohibited from harming them.
So the vultures of Willey Street continue on, the size of the flock depending on the time of day. I easily spotted about a dozen during my midday visits, but neighbors say there are many more in the morning, when they're fed.
They're even becoming an attraction, of sorts, on the dead-end street. While I visited with House, a van driver stopped to take pictures. That happens often, she said.
Across the street, Healey has photos of his own, showing vultures waiting like sentinels on the pitch of a neighbor's roof.
"They know when it's feeding time," he said.
Despite the frustration, Willey Street seems to have remained refreshingly cordial.
House said she has "lovely neighbors." They, in turn, expressed anger at the town's inaction, but mostly described House as kindhearted. They just wish she'd stop the free meals.
I didn't interview the vultures, but I assume they feel otherwise.

But it's still pretty intriguing, and they're at least trying to make history interesting.

Old-crop soybeans have surged above $15, while the new-crop soybeans situation may be more bearish than farmers have seen for years.
The soybean price train has yet to lose its steam. Soybean prices topped $15 on Tuesday and continue to show strength.
The National Oilseed Processor Association (NOPA) crush number was a surprise for traders, says Paul Georgy, president of Allendale Inc. He says the average estimate was 146.1 million bushels, yet the actual March usage was 153.84 million bushels.
"This is 12% above a year ago," he says. "USDA's balance sheet estimate is for soybean crush to be down 0.2%. Needless to say the May supply and demand (WASDE) table will be much anticipated."
With tight stocks and strong exports, the strong crush number suggests even more tightness going forward, says Kevin McNew, president of Grain Hedge and Geograin. "While some imports have occurred of late to help alleviate tightness, it seems the U.S. is well shy of reaching the 65 million bushels import projection to keep stockpiles from disappearing altogether by the end of the marketing year," McNew says.
From a supply-and-demand standpoint, Angie Maguire, vice president of grain for Citizens LLC in Charlotte, Mich., says soybean demand is not being rationed yet. And, this solid demand may attract more acres. "There's a lot of room where we could see a solid expansion in soybean production going forward," she says.
Maguire appeared on Market Rally Radio with Chip Flory on Tuesday, April 15. Listen to the broadcast:
Old-Crop versus New-Crop
There is a vast difference between old-crop and new-crop soybean fundamentals, says Ted Seifried, vice president of the Zaner Ag Hedge Group. "With a record pace of exports and strong domestic usage, old-crop soybeans have a bullish story," he says.
Yet, the situation for new-crop is the opposite. "With a projected record world carryover, projected record U.S. acreage and a forecast for a moderate El Nino growing season the new-crop soybean situation may be more bearish then what we have seen in years," Seifried says.
"Higher soybean prices and lower corn prices along with weak corn basis in the North due to logistical issues has encouraged a big shift to soybean acres this year," he says. "Given a normal growing season this could translate into one of the largest stocks numbers we have seen in recent years."
As planting kicks off, Seifried says, it's time to think about what USDA might estimate for next year's balance sheet.
"The market's focus may begin to shift from the bullish old-crop fundamentals to the more bearish new-crop fundamentals," he says. "This will not happen overnight, but April or May is typically when this starts to happen. Now might a good time to take a look at new-crop soybean prices and lock in some prices while the focus is still solidly on the bullish old crop fundamentals."

Of all the quadrupeds that have lived upon the earth, probably no other species has ever marshaled such innumerable hosts as those of the American bison. It would have been as easy to count or to estimate the number of leaves in a forest as to calculate the number of buffaloes living at any given time during the history of the species previous to 1870. Even in South Central Africa, which has always been exceedingly prolific in great herds of game, it is probable that all its quadrupeds taken together on an equal area would never have more than equaled the total number of buffalo in this country forty years ago.
During the two great periods of slaughter -- 1870-'75 and 1880-'84 -- the principal killing grounds were as well known as the stock-yards of Chicago. Had proper laws been enacted, and had either the general or territorial governments entered with determination upon the task of restricting the killing of buffaloes to proper limits, their enforcement would have been, in the main, as simple and easy as the collection of taxes. Of course the solitary hunter in a remote locality would have bowled over his half dozen buffaloes in secure defiance of the law; but such desultory killing could not have made much impression on the great mass for many years. The business-like, wholesale slaughter, wherein one hunter would openly kill five thousand buffaloes and market perhaps two thousand hides, could easily have been stopped forever. Buffalo hides could not have been dealt in clandestinely, for many reasons, and had there been no sale for ill-gotten spoils the still-hunter would have gathered no spoils to sell. It was an undertaking of considerable magnitude, and involving a cash outlay of several hundred dollars to make up an "outfit" of wagons, horses, arms and ammunition, food, etc., for a trip to "the range" after buffaloes. It was these wholesale hunters, both in the North and the South, who exterminated the species, and to say that all such undertakings could not have been effectually prevented by law is to accuse our law-makers and law-officers of imbecility to a degree hitherto unknown. There is nowhere in this country, nor in any of the waters adjacent to it, a living species of any kind which the United States Government can not fully and perpetually protect from destruction by human agencies if it chooses to do so. The destruction of the buffalo was a loss of wealth perhaps twenty times greater than the sum it would have cost to conserve it, and this stupendous waste of valuable food and other products was committed by one class of the American people and permitted by another with a prodigality and wastefulness which even in the lowest savages would be inexcusable.

INDEPENDENCE –– Grayson County is not in the driver's seat. The Blue Devils are not even riding shotgun. But they're still there, somewhere in the back seat, maybe even the trunk. But they're still there.
With two weeks left in the regular season, a lot of things need to happen for Grayson County to salvage a playoff spot. A great deal of those things are out of the Devils' control. But not all of them.
"We just want to finish up strong and see what happens," Grayson County coach Brett McPherson said as his team prepared for a Mountain Empire District game Friday at Narrows. "There are several scenarios out there. But we're just focusing on us. We want to get to that last game and have it still mean something. If we can take care of this week, next week could get interesting."
The Blue Devils (4-4 overall, 1-1 district) are sitting in the ninth spot in the Region C Division 2 standings, the last team in a virtual logjam for the sixth and final playoff berth.
"If James River were to get beat by Bath County, and all this is contingent on us winning out, that would probably do it for us," he said. "There are a couple of other scenarios in the Three Rivers. It's possible."
The key words in that sentence are 'winning out.' For next week's trip to Fort Chiswell to mean anything, Grayson must first take care of the Green Wave.
"Of course you're playing them at Narrows, and if their state of mind is still good they'll battle you," McPherson said. "They'll get up for you and battle you, so hopefully we'll still be sharp and get out there and get on them quick."
McPherson sees a lot of similarities between Narrows and last week's opponent, Bland County.
"They do a lot of the same things," he said. "They're very similar as far as the size of their line and the ability of their backs. [Bland quarterback Dylan Kidd] is more athletic but [Narrows QB Brock] Lusk throws the ball better. They've got a couple of good backs, a real good fullback, and they'll try to pound it."
Fullback Joe Butler and halfback Tyler Conley lead the Green Wave ground attack, and Lusk is an experienced quarterback.
"He's started a couple of years, so I wouldn't be surprised of they jump into that spread every now and then," McPherson said.
With the end of the regular season in sight, one would think the postseason would be a hot topic in locker room conversations. Not so, said McPherson.
"I don't know if they even think too much about it," he said. "I've never had one even ask me about it. That's the truth. We have good practices and good kids, we just don't have a lot of vocal leaders. I'm hoping somebody will step up and take over that role."
Grayson ended a four-game slump with last week's 48-7 win over Bland and nearly topped 500 yards in total offense in the process. Xavier Rodriguez rushed for 166 yards on 12 carries, including touchdown runs of 12, 15 and 90 yards, and quarterback Ethan Hash completed 7-of-13 passes for 177 yards. Eric Harvey had three catches for 106 yards and caught a 59-yard scoring toss.

Samson's life is one of contradiction. First, he was to be "a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth" (Judges 13:5), yet he continually broke his vow. The Spirit of God came upon him many times, giving him great strength to fight the Philistines, the oppressors of the Israelites. At the same time, however, Samson was a womanizer and a vengeful man, full of sin. Samson's life illustrates that giving in to temptation leads to sin, that God will use even a sinful man to enact His will, and that God will not let us escape the consequences of our sin.
The life of Samson – giving in to temptation leads to sin
Samson's story begins with a violation of God's law. He wants to marry a Philistine woman despite his parents' protests and in violation of God's law about intermarriage with pagans. His mother and father accompany him past the vineyards of Timnah (Judges 14:5) to obtain his new bride when a lion attacks and is killed by Samson. As a Nazirite, Samson had to follow the laws written in Numbers 6:1-21. First, he was to "abstain from wine and other fermented drink and…not drink vinegar made from wine or from other fermented drink. He must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins." By passing by the vineyards of Timnah, he invited temptation to violate this portion of his vow. Had he not walked so openly into temptation, he would not have encountered the lion, another source of later sin. When Samson came back by the carcass of the lion, it was filled with a honeycomb, which he ate. This was a clear violation of the second part of the Nazirite's law: "Throughout the period of his separation to the Lord he must not go near a dead body" (Numbers 6:6). Samson seemed to know what he was doing was wrong because when he gave the honey to his parents, "he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the lion's carcass" (Judges 14:9).
The customary feast described in Judges 14:10 was, literally, a "drinking party." Although Scripture does not indicate whether Samson drank wine or fermented drink, it was yet another source of temptation that ultimately led to sin. In this case, Samson offers a wager on a riddle, and his wife betrays him and gives the answer to his riddle to her countrymen, the Philistines. In response, Samson murders thirty men.
The life of Samson – God will use even a sinful man to enact His will
Samson willingly went into situations that led to sin, but each time, God used him for His glory. God created Samson to "begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines" (Judges 13:5). Even sinful men cannot prevent God's will. When Samson killed the lion, it was his first recorded test of strength. It gave him confidence to face the Philistines. He murdered 30 Philistines out of vengeance in order to pay a debt. Later, Samson swears to "get even with the Philistines" (Judges 15:3) and to "get [his] revenge on [the Philistines]" (Judges 15:7). Both occasions were for personal reasons and were not godly, but God used them as a springboard to launch Israel out of their oppression. Despite Samson's sin, God's will would not be thwarted.
The life of Samson – God will not let us escape the consequences of our sin.
Even though God's will is unstoppable, Samson still experienced the consequences for his sin. When he met Delilah and she begged to know the secret of his strength, he broke the final part of the Nazirite law: "During the entire period of his vow of separation no razor may be used on his head. He must be holy until the period of his separation to the Lord is over; he must let the hair of his head grow long" (Numbers 6:5). After Delilah's countrymen cut his hair, Samson still expected God to be with him. "He awoke from his sleep and thought, 'I'll go out as before and shake myself free.' But he did not know that the LORD had left him" (Judges 16:20). He had gained confidence from previous violations which appeared to have gone unpunished, but his continual willful disobedience had reached an end. When Samson had finally broken all of the Nazirite laws, he had to face the consequences of his actions.
The lessons we can learn from Samson's life are that if we willingly and repeatedly walk into temptations which lead to sin, we will suffer the consequences of our disobedience even though God still uses us to accomplish His will. In the end, Samson understood the true source of his strength, but he never understood his true purpose. "Then Samson prayed to the LORD, 'O Sovereign LORD, remember me. O God, please strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes'" (Judges 16:28). We see from this verse that Samson was more concerned about revenge than about doing God's will, and it cost him his life. "Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived" (Judges 16:30). God's will was done, but the many blessings Samson might have seen were never realized.

"Welcome Home." These are words I've been waiting to hear for more than a decade.
It is great to be back in Detroit, my home. I spent the last seven years in New Orleans as morning anchor/reporter at one of the TV stations there. I was there for three years before Hurricane Katrina and spent the last four years covering that city's recovery. Before that I worked as a reporter, anchor and weatherman at the NBC station in Flint, MI for four years.
But it all started in Troy, MI where I began my TV career at the age of 14 when I created, produced and hosted a public-affairs talk show on the government access station. One year later, I was deemed one of the nation's youngest TV personalities when I appeared on The Phil Donahue Show.
While attending Michigan State University, I worked at the Lansing CBS and ABC affiliates.
A defining moment in my career was covering Hurricane Katrina while living in New Orleans. Anchoring for almost 17 hours straight as the monster storm came ashore was truly a reminder of why we do what we do. People who were stuck in their homes alone had no contact with the outside world, but us.
After a few days of covering the mayhem on the streets of New Orleans, we evacuated to Mississippi where we anchored from a make-shift set with a camera, a speaker phone and a dry-erase board that told the people where to go next. Where to get water, how to find relatives, and how much of the city was under water were crucial topics our evacuated audience needed to know about.
I've never been one to talk about awards I won as part of a news team. However, I am proud to say our coverage in the hours leading up to the storm won our team an Emmy Award for "Best Continuing Coverage." I also received an Associated Press first place award for "Breaking Weather Coverage." In the years after the storm, my coverage of a city in crisis won two first place awards from the Press Club of New Orleans and the Associated Press as I profiled the "Safest Places to Live" when it comes to storm protection and crime.
Now, I come home to Detroit where a different type of storm is brewing. It was hard to watch my neighbors and friends in metro Detroit deal with an economic crisis. I wanted to come back and help report on stories of struggle and recovery in our area. Whether you lose your home because of storm surge from a hurricane or foreclosure due to a lagging economy, your home is gone.
People are tuning in to local news not just for a check on the weather. News has never been more important in people's lives as they try to recover. I am proud to join Detroit's only news team that's producing solutions as "Problem Solvers." You can watch me as an anchor/reporter on FOX 2 News weekdays at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. delivering the day's big stories.
One of the biggest questions I get is where my name is from. Although I was born and brought up in the Midwest, my parents came from India back in 1973. So yes, the name is Indian. And I have heard all of the nicknames! "Roop Dogg," "Roop There it Is," etc.
I believe that my job as a reporter here doesn't end when we sign off. I want to get involved in the community whether it be mceeing your organization's event or volunteering with your group. So please, let me know how I can dive right in and help this community. There's truly no place like home.

Great job! FL Atty Carol C. Asbury
July Term 2011
VENTURE HOLDINGS & ACQUISITIONS GROUP, LLC and VINCENZO GURRERA,
No. 4D10-832
REAL INVESTMENTS, LLC and ALEXANDER GONZALEZ,
No. 4D10-1159
REAL INVESTMENTS, LLC and ALEXANDER GONZALEZ,
No. 4D10-1848
[ November 23, 2011 ]
In these consolidated appeals, appellants challenge three separate
final summary judgments of foreclosure entered in favor of appellee,
A.I.M. Funding Group, LLC. Appellants raise several arguments on
appeal, two of which merit discussion: (1) A.I.M., having assigned the
promissory note as collateral for a loan, was not the proper party in
interest to file suit, and (2) the trial court erred in granting summary
judgment for A.I.M. without receiving the original promissory note or
accounting for its absence. We find that because A.I.M. did not file the
original promissory note or account for its absence before the court
entered summary judgment, we must reverse the summary judgment
orders in each of the cases. We further find that A.I.M. lacked standing
to foreclose at the time it filed its complaints, but that some parties
waived the defense of lack of standing. Any remaining issues are
rendered moot by our decision and we decline to address them.
Factual Background
In April 2007, Venture Holdings & Acquisitions Group, Inc. and
Vincenzo Gurrera, individually, entered into a loan agreement with A.I.M.
and gave A.I.M. a mortgage on certain real property. Gurrera, Venture's
president, signed the promissory note as a guarantor.
Likewise, Real Investments LLC entered into two loans with A.I.M, one
in January 2008 and another in May 2008. In connection with these
loans, Real gave A.I.M. a mortgage on two properties. Alexander
Gonzalez, Real's president, signed the promissory notes as a guarantor.
There is no dispute that the borrowers failed to remain current on
their payments and defaulted on all three loans. Accordingly, A.I.M. filed
mortgage foreclosure actions on the three properties.
In Case No. 09-19636, A.I.M. sought to foreclose o n Venture's
property. Gurrera filed a proper answer, but Venture did not. A.I.M.
moved for default against Venture and the court granted the motion.
This default has not been contested in this appeal.
In Case Nos. 09-018086 and 09-18089, A.I.M. sought to foreclose on
the two properties owned by Real. In Case No. 09-018086, Gonzalez filed
a proper answer, but Real did not. A.I.M. moved for a default against
Real and the court granted the motion. This default has not been
contested in this appeal. In Case No. 09-18089, however, both Real and
Gonzalez answered the complaint.
In each of its complaints, A.I.M. alleged that it "now owns and holds
the Mortgage Note and Mortgage." Prior to initiating suit, A.I.M. assigned
its interest in the properties as collateral for a loan. This was indicated
by an allonge attached to each promissory note. The assignment was
still in effect when A.I.M. filed suit.1 The circuit court, in each case,
determined that no issues of genuine fact were raised by the defendants.
In each case summary judgment was entered against the defendants and
in favor of A.I.M. These consolidated appeals followed.
"The standard of review of an order granting summary judgment is de
novo." Allenby & Assocs., Inc. v. Crown St. Vincent Ltd., 8 So. 3d 1211,
1213 (Fla. 4th DCA 2009). We examine the record in the light most
favorable to the non-moving party. Id. The moving party must
conclusively show the absence of any genuine issue of material fact. Id.
An assignment of a promissory note or mortgage, or the right to
enforce such, must pre-date the filing of a foreclosure action. Jeff-Ray
Corp. v. Jacobson, 566 So. 2d 885, 886 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990). A party
must have standing to file suit at its inception and may not remedy this
defect by subsequently obtaining standing. Progressive Exp. Ins. Co. v.
McGrath Cmty. Chiropractic, 913 So. 2d 1281 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005). "The
assignee of a mortgage and note assigned as collateral security is the real
party in interest, that he holds the legal title to the mortgage and note,
and that he, not the assignor is the proper party to file a suit to foreclose
the mortgage." Laing v. Gainey Builders, Inc., 184 So. 2d 897 (Fla. 1st
DCA 1966); see also A & B Discount Lumber & Supply, Inc. v. Mitchell,
799 So. 2d 301, 307-08 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001).
Here, before A.I.M. filed any of the foreclosure actions below, A.I.M.
assigned the promissory note and mortgage to a third party as collateral
for a loan. Thus, A.I.M. did not have standing to foreclose on any of the
properties at the time it filed suit. However, "th e entry of default
precludes a party from contesting the existence of the plaintiff's claim
and liability thereon." Fla. Bar v. Porter, 684 So. 2d 810, 813 n.4 (Fla.
1996) (citations omitted). Real, in Case No. 09-018086, was found to be
in default. Venture in Case No. 09-19636, was found to be in default.
Neither party may contest A.I.M.'s standing at the inception of the suit.
See Glynn v. First Union Nat'l Bank, 912 So. 2d 357, 358 (Fla. 4th DCA
2005) (holding that a homeowner waived any claim that the bank lacked
standing to foreclose where the homeowner never filed a motion or an
answer in the trial court).
But even a party in default does not admit that the plaintiff in a
foreclosure action possesses the original promissory note. See Lenfesty
v. Coe, 16 So. 277, 278 (Fla. 1894). "The decree pro confesso cannot be
extended to a confession of ownership of the note in complainant up to
the time of the master's report and the confirmation thereof by the court,
and the authorities above cited sustain the view that a production of the
note or securities at the hearing is essential to show complainant's right
to judgment then." Id. A.I.M., in order to be entitled to summary
judgment, must establish that it is the proper holder of the promissory
note. Id.
In this case, A.I.M. failed to produce the original promissory note,
failed to account for its absence, and failed to present evidence to
otherwise establish it was the proper holder of the note. The allonge
established that the note was indorsed to a third party. A.I.M.'s failure to
produce the original promissory note, or account for its absence, created
a genuine issue of material fact. Lenfesty, 16 So. at 278. For this reason
alone, the summary judgments were improper in each of the cases.2
Accordingly, in Case No. 09-18089, we reverse the final summary
judgment and remand with directions that the action be dismissed in its
entirety without prejudice.
In Case No. 09-19636, we reverse the summary judgment and vacate
the final judgment of foreclosure. With regard to appellant Vincenzo
Gurrera only, we direct that the action be dismissed without prejudice.
With regard to Venture, however, we do not direct dismissal of the action.
In Case No. 09-018086, we reverse the summary judgment and vacate
the final judgment of foreclosure. With regard to appellant Alexander
Gonzalez only, we direct that the action be dismissed without prejudice.
With regard to Real, however, we do not direct dismissal of the action.
While A.I.M. is free to file the original promissory note and to move for
summary judgment in the actions that have not been dismissed as to
Venture and Real, we caution that the absence of Gurrera and Gonzalez
from those proceedings would leave those parties' interests unaffected by
any judgment.
Reversed and Remanded.
