- Boulder sheriff: Missing hiker may have been headed in opposite direction
For the past two years, whenever people asked Katie Moore about her mother, she had to tell them Patricia Wallace was still lost in the Colorado mountains, even though she knew that was not the case.
"If people asked about her, I had to tell them she was missing, even though I knew she was gone and passed," Moore said.
But this week, Moore received the closure she had been looking for since 2012.
Human remains discovered in Grand County this summer are believed to be Wallace, Grand County Coroner Brenda Bock announced Tuesday.
Bones and clothing found with the remains are consistent with Wallace, 74, who was last seen hiking with friends near Camp Dick on July 3, 2012, the coroner said. Wallace's ID was found in a backpack.
Moore said sheriff's officials tried to reach her with the news through her son, who currently lives at Wallace's home in Lafayette. When her son told her to contact investigators, Moore she was hoping it was the call she'd been waiting for.
"At that moment, I just said, 'Please let this be it,'" Moore said. "I had played the scene in my head over and over again, being told that they found her. It was great because they were able to tell me right away they were very certain these were her remains. It wasn't that they had found a set of remains and maybe..."
'A ways off the beaten path'
At the time of her disappearance in 2012, the friends Wallace was hiking with told investigators that Wallace — who may have been suffering from early stages of dementia — decided to take a route that she thought would be easier down the trail.
But two witnesses told officials at the time of the search they saw someone matching Wallace's description hiking in the opposite direction, leading Grand County rescuers to join the search.
After looking for two weeks and finding no signs of her, officials called off the search, believing Wallace "likely perished from exposure or the lack of food and water."
On Aug. 9 of this year, a family backpacking near the 10,000-foot elevation area of Thunderbolt Creek — which is a few miles west of Buchanan Pass Trail — discovered the remains while trying to find a campsite. They were able to get a note out to the U.S. Forest Service.
The clothing and a backpack with the remains matched the description of what Wallace was last seen wearing.
A DNA sample has been sent for analysis to confirm the identify.
The family that found the body was traveling from Santa Fe, New Mexico, and issued a statement saying they were "saddened by the discovery, but also realized that this would help bring closure to the family of the missing person."
"This was a ways off the beaten path," the family said in the statement. "If we had done any one thing differently that afternoon, even little things, we would not have made the discovery. With all the tall vegetation and the stream, the discovery was like finding a needle in a haystack.
"It's a bit of a miracle that we were where we were at. That little miracle is what it took for the family to have closure. We offer our prayers and well wishes to the family."
'Teeny, tiny bit of hope'
Moore said everyone was surprised at how far out of the search area the remains were found. She said officials told her an uneaten granola bar was found in Wallace's backpack, which gives her hope her mother passed away the day she went missing.
"Hopefully it was not painful, and it did not drag out," Moore said. "I hope it was a quick thing."
Wallace's family already held a memorial service for her last year, but Moore said she is preparing to come out to Colorado from her home in Pennsylvania and hopes to spread Wallace's ashes somewhere.
But for now, Moore is just relieved to have closure.
"You don't realize it until they tell you, but you always have that teeny, tiny bit of hope in you," Moore said. "But it is really a relief now to be able to report to people that my mother passed away."

Locals invited to National Night Out
Since 2004, Wapakoneta Police Department officials have been inviting members of the public to attend the National Night Out.
Scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday at the Harmon Park Gazebo, this year's event offers free refreshments — hot dogs, chips and cookies— child identification kits, bike helmets, pool passes and giveaways, including two bikes.
"We're excited to be having it again," Wapakoneta Police Chief Russ Hunlock said. "It's geared toward citizens coming out and showing their support against criminals and criminal activity. It's a good opportunity for us to meet the public and to allow the citizens to talk with us and see some of the things we do. It's a good way for them to see what we are all about."
A K-9 demonstration is planned for 8 p.m. and the LifeFlight helicopter is expected to make a visit.
Everything is free while supplies last at the event sponsored by the Wapakoneta Police Department, Wapakoneta Fire and EMS departments and Wapakoneta Noon Optimist Club.
Described nationally as a block party, the evening's events held throughout the country promote public safety.
National Night Out has been held annually for 28 years in more than 15,000 communities in all 50 states and other places throughout the world. It gives residents of local communities an opportunity to interact with police officers before something is wrong.
In addition to the city's police and fire departments, representatives of law enforcement from throughout the county are expected to be on hand for the event.
According to information from the National Association of Town Watch, which sponsors the event, the night is meant as a unique crime and drug prevention effort designed to heighten awareness, generate support and participation in local anticrime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and send a message to criminals, letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
Hunlock said there also would be time for officers to answer questions and address concerns from the public.
"We hope to see as many people as possible there," Hunlock said.

Ayse Nur Sanli
Istanbul, Turkey
Class Year:
LLM Candidate, 2010
Prior Education:
Galatasaray University, LL.B.(2007); Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Exchange (2007); Boston University Summer Legal Institute in London (2006).
What I Did Before Law School:
I worked in the transactions department of a law firm based in Istanbul which allowed me to work on unique, interesting and major deals involving my country. My area of interest includes corporate law and antitrust law.
Why I Chose Penn Law:
During my employment, I have been always working with business clients on the legal aspects of matters. As a corporate attorney, I was no longer satisfied with understanding only "Turkish law." I chose Penn Law because it was one of the top schools in corporate law, offering also the opportunity to take courses from the Wharton School. With its outstanding faculty in business-related legal studies, Penn Law was the best choice to expand my knowledge of corporate law and acquire key business skills to meet the demands of various business clients and to better understand the business culture in the United States.
My Best Experience at Penn Law:
Friendly meetings and lunches with the my professors.
Professor Who Influenced Me Most (with a brief explanation of why):
Professor William Ewald is the person who I met first at Penn Law as a professor since he was teaching the Foundations of the US Legal System during the summer time. He teaches the American history, the Constitution and the basic concepts and rules of American law. Profesor Ewalds' way of teaching, explaining the history and the reasons behind the history, building the links between the history and the Constitution and the other rules are unique and this helped me, and is still helping me, to grasp the issues in the other areas varying from International Law to Corporate law, from Antitrust Law to the economics.
My Favorite Course (with a brief explanation of why):
My favorite course at Penn Law is Antitrust Law with Professor Howard Langer. Studying the American cases forming the American antitrust law, seeing that many issues in the competition law have already been discussed in the American cases decades ago and finding that the competition policies throughout the world have been significantly affected by those cases of the American courts are very impressive and breath taking.
My Favorite Philadelphia Moment:
I participated in the "Day of Dignity", an event organized by a number of Muslim, Jewish and Christian associations, as a volunteer, to serve the homeless and underserved people in Philadelphia. It was a great feeling to make the day of those people in need. It was also a unique experience to see the synergy and cooperation among the volunteered people coming from different backgrounds, religions, nations, races.
What I'm Most Proud Of:
I'm most proud of the friendly environment at Penn Law, I feel like I am at home here!
My Extracurricular Activities at Penn Law:
Attending the lectures and meetings of Philomathean Society, one of the oldest literary societies in the US, where I had the opportunity to meet very intelligent and intellectually gifted students from all disciplines and backgrounds.
My Favorite Place or Activity on the University Campus:
My favorite place is the College Green. Reading a book there under the sun and in front of the library was very peaceful. Getting a crepe with chocolate and strawberry from Houston Hall and enjoying it in the College Green and watching the students walking by is also one of my bests.

Memories of life in the Glueckstal
and Freudenthal
Electronic mail message from Coleen Mielke
My grandparents came from Glueckstal and Freudenthal in 1884 as young children. One hundred years later, their elderly daughter, my Aunt Welentina Walker Brandner Eszlinger of Ashley sent me the following story:
"My folks farmed all their life, seeding wheat, barley, oats, flax, corn and gardens of all kinds of vegetables and big batches of potatoes and sunflowers. I remember helping to beat out the seeds from the sunflower heads with sticks and Dad would fill many large wheat sacks with the sunflower seeds and then he sold them. A lot of corn was beaten out the same way. The folks raised livestock, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese. I can remember as a small girl when we had a lot of pigeons and we butchered and roasted them. We also used ducks and geese for meat. Once a year, Ma would catch all the geese and ducks, one at a time, and pluck their breast feathers and then let them run (new feathers would grow back in), then she used the feathers to make quilts, some of them we sold. The sheep were shorn and the wool sold. My grandparents and my Ma cleaned the wool and had a spinning wheel and made yarn out of it. They knitted many a garment.
Dad and Ma spoke only German although they could understand English. My dad could count to 10 in Russian. I still remember "dras, dwa, dri, jaderu, be, at, jest, sam, vassem, divvit, desset. Dad had to work someplace when he was young and they were English, so he picked up a few words. I remember him saying that the guys he worked with used to say "More rain, More rest, for in Niger in the West". He also could sing a chorus of "At the Cross" in english from memory. He sung it in very broken english, but we asked him to sing it all the time. I don't remember the folks having hobbies, but dad played hymns on the organ with two fingers and Dad and Ma sang harmony. They read the Bible a lot. "

Maryland Doctorate in School Psychology on Campus Programs
Are you searching for on-campus school psychology Ph.D. programs? If you're a working professional, earning your Doctorate in School Psychology on Campus may enhance your career, deepen your expertise in your field, or open the doors to new opportunities. School psychologists have a number of responsibilities that are important to the effectiveness of a school, from identification and testing of students for learning disorders and other disabilities and extraordinary needs, to developing IEPs, collaborating with teachers and caretakers, conducting interventions, and helping to maintain a healthy and productive school environment.
Essentials of Doctorate in School Psychology on Campus Programs
Choosing to study to earn your PH.D. in school psychology in a traditional program situated in a brick-and-mortar campus has a number of advantages and benefits. Campus-based programs offer you the opportunity to embrace social opportunities, becoming a part of the campus community, and networking with peers and classmates. You may be able to interact with faculty one-on-one both in and out of the classroom. You may also be able to collaborate with your peers in person.
Traditional campuses also offer a number of resources to their students, including the library and research support, academic support services, career planning services, gym facilities, technology labs, and other services and benefits. Additionally, you may be able to seize opportunities for research experience, working under respected faculty at your institution, and even seek out opportunities for fellowships, teaching assistantships, and other important experiences and benefits.
But once you've decided you want to attend a campus-based school psychology doctoral program, how do you know which is the right one for you? Here are a few important things to consider when choosing between school
psychology graduate programs.
What do you want to study?
While this seems like an obvious question, understanding specifically what you are interested in studying can help to narrow down school psychology doctoral programs. School psychologists may specialize in any number of specific areas of focus. This might include behavioral issues, specific age ranges, disorder types, and other topics of focus.
Whether you already work in one focus area, or whether there is a specific area that interests you most, finding a program that enables you to study according to your specific interests and goals may be a particular advantage when earning your doctorate in school psychology. This might include a program specifically oriented around that focus, studying under faculty who are interested in researching that or similar topics, or a program flexible enough that you might tailor it according to your particular interests.
What is your preferred academic approach?
Within the field of psychology there are several different approaches a program might take with regard to the material. These are sometimes referred to as scientist-practitioner, practitioner-scholar, etc. These theoretical approaches to the subject matter may reflect the values and orientation of the program itself, such as whether the program is research and academia-oriented, or whether it is more clinically focused or aimed toward practicing in the field. When deciding which school psychology doctoral program is right for you, depending on your particular learning style and priorities, you may prefer one of these approaches over the other.
Is your preferred school psychology doctoral program APA accredited?
While not all school psychology doctoral programs are APA accredited, there may be benefits to choosing a program that is. In order to be accredited, a program must meet a pre-defined series of qualifications by the American Psychological Association, making accreditation a good way to ensure you are attending a program of reliable quality.
Furthermore, some internship opportunities may require you to come from an APA accredited program. Even some licensing agencies, government agencies, and employers may prefer or require a diploma from an APA accredited program.[i]
What other opportunities do you need in a school psychology doctoral program?
Depending on your needs and preferences, you may have other specific opportunities and benefits you need your perfect program to offer. For example, are you looking for full time programs with fellowship and teaching assistantship opportunities? What about internship placement rates? If a reputable, accredited internship is a priority for you, you may prefer a program with a high rate of placement in quality internships. Identifying the particular offerings, opportunities and benefits you want out of your perfect program may be a good way to narrow down your list of contenders.
What Types of On-Campus School Psychology Doctoral Programs are available?
If you have already decided that you want to pursue your doctorate in school psychology in a traditional on-campus program, you may find yourself having to choose between any of several different types of doctorate programs. While each of these school psychology doctorate programs may have unique advantages as well as commonalities, understanding how they differ may help you to choose the best program for you.
- School psychology Ph.D. programs may be the most recognizable school psychology doctorate type, and as such may be widely applicable in a variety of ways in the field. These programs may be research and theory-based. As such, earning your Ph.D. in school psychology may be the right decision for you if you are interested in laying the foundation for a career in research or teaching at the university level among other potential utilizations. School psychology Ph.D. programs may include a master's thesis or research experience prerequisite.
- Ed.D. programs in school psychology may often be offered by a school of education, and as such, the focus of these programs may take a perspective reflecting the field of education accordingly. Programs offering an Ed.D. in school psychology may also be oriented toward working professionals in the field of education, and may or may not have similar thesis and research experience requirements as in a Ph.D. program.
- Psy.D. programs in school psychology may typically be issued by a school of psychology, and as such, the perspective and focus of those programs may take a more clinical, psychological focus oriented toward either the researcher or practitioner of psychology.
Each of these program types may be further differentiated or qualified by your chosen focus area and course of study and research, as well as individual differences varying by program, school and institution. As such, when doing your research to find your perfect school psychology doctorate program, it is important to keep your needs and goals in mind.

Gland, Switzerland (IUCN) – The first study to determine the
global conservation status of 64 species of open ocean (pelagic) sharks and rays
reveals that 32 percent are threatened with extinction, primarily due to
overfishing, according to the IUCN Shark Specialist Group.
The percentage of open ocean shark species threatened with extinction is
higher for the sharks taken in high-seas fisheries (52 percent), than for the
group as a whole.
"Despite mounting threats, sharks remain virtually unprotected on the high
seas," says Sonja Fordham, Deputy Chair of the IUCN Shark Specialist Group and
Policy Director for the Shark Alliance. "The vulnerability and lengthy
migrations of most open ocean sharks call for coordinated, international
conservation plans. Our report documents serious overfishing of these species,
in national and international waters, and demonstrates a clear need for
immediate action on a global scale."
The report comes days before Spain hosts an international summit of fishery
managers responsible for high seas tuna fisheries in which sharks are taken
without limit. It also coincides with an international group of scientists
meeting in Denmark to formulate management advice for Atlantic porbeagle
IUCN experts classify great hammerhead (Sphyrna mokarran) and
scalloped hammerhead (Sphyrna lewini) sharks, as well as giant devil
rays (Mobula mobular), as globally Endangered. Smooth hammerheads
(Sphyrna zygaena), great white (Carcharodon carcharias),
basking (Cetorhinus maximus) and oceanic whitetip (Carcharhinus
longimanus) sharks are classed as globally Vulnerable to extinction, along
with two species of makos (Isurus spp.) and three species of threshers
(Alopias spp.).
Porbeagle sharks (Lamna nasus) are classified as globally
Vulnerable, but Critically Endangered and Endangered in the Northeast and
Northwest Atlantic, respectively. The blue shark (Prionace glauca), the
world's most abundant and heavily fished open ocean shark, is classified as Near
Many open ocean sharks are taken mainly in high seas tuna and swordfish
fisheries. Once considered only incidental "bycatch", these species are
increasingly targeted due to new markets for shark meat and high demand for
their valuable fins, used in the Asian delicacy shark fin soup. To source this
demand, the fins are often cut off sharks and the rest of the body is thrown
back in the water, a process known as "finning". Finning bans have been adopted
for most international waters, but lenient enforcement standards hamper their
Sharks are particularly sensitive to overfishing due to their tendency to
take many years to mature and have relatively few young. In most cases, pelagic
shark catches are unregulated or unsustainable. Twenty-four percent of the
species examined are categorized as Near Threatened, while information is
insufficient to assess another 25 percent.
The report is based partially on an SSG workshop funded by the Lenfest Ocean
Program. Fifteen experts from government agencies, universities,
non-governmental organizations, and institutions around the world took part.
This and other regional workshops have contributed to the development of the
Shark Specialist Group's Global Shark Red List Assessment, supported by
Conservation International and the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.
"The completion of this global assessment of pelagic sharks and rays will
provide an important baseline for monitoring the status of these keystone
species in our oceans," says Roger McManus, Vice-President for Marine Programs
at Conservation International.
The IUCN Shark Specialist Group calls on governments to set catch limits for
sharks and rays based on scientific advice and the precautionary approach. It
further urges governments to fully protect Critically Endangered and Endangered
species of sharks and rays, ensure an end to shark finning and improve the
monitoring of fisheries taking sharks and rays. Governments should invest in
shark and ray research and population assessment, minimize incidental bycatch of
sharks and rays, employ wildlife treaties to complement fisheries management and
facilitate cooperation among countries to conserve shared populations, according
to the group.

tool for focusing attention on species of conservation concern. The assessments
evaluate the conservation status of individual species, identify threatening
processes affecting them and, if necessary, propose recovery objectives for
their populations. www.iucnredlist.org
The IUCN Red List threat categories are the following, in descending order of
Species classified as Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically Endangered are
considered Threatened.
The IUCN Shark Specialist Group (SSG) is a network of 180
experts from 90 countries who are involved in research, fisheries management,

North Korea is escalating its war of words against the South Korean government over what the North perceives as insults by the South. Pyongyang is now threatening to turn the heated rhetoric into action, threatening to take "quick action" against South Korea.
Senior newscaster Ri Chun Hee, interrupting regular programming on North Korea's central television station early Monday afternoon, forcefully read an unusual announcement from a unit of the army's supreme command.
The announcer said a special operation would reduce to "ashes in three or four minutes" the supporters of South Korea's president and their bases utilizing "unprecedented peculiar means and methods."
Pyongyang blames President Lee Myung-bak for insulting the North at a time when the country was mourning its late leader, Kim Jong Il, who died in December, and then during this month's celebrations marking the centennial of the birth of North Korea's founder, Kim Il Sung.
North Korea often uses belligerent language and threatens violence against South Korean leaders. But some analysts who closely monitor the North's bombastic rhetoric say the latest message may presage some sort of attack.
Daniel Pinkston, the senior analyst in Seoul for the International Crisis Group, says while there is no indication of a mobilization of North Korea's military, the announcement from Pyongyang is puzzling and worrying.
"I don't know what a special team could do in three or four minutes,' noted Pinkston. "Maybe some type of special operations or some type of asymmetric attack that could include cyber attacks or attacks against unexpected, unusual targets in the South, maybe attacks against South Korean targets abroad."
North Korea suffered a loss of face when its highly promoted April 13 "space launch" failed after two minutes. The North said it was trying to place a satellite into orbit. Much of the international community regarded it as a provocative ballistic missile test in violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions.
South Korea last week unveiled a missile of its own that it says is capable of quickly striking any target in the North.
An uneasy peace has prevailed on the Korean peninsula since 1953 when an armistice was signed halting three years of devastating warfare. The two Koreas have never signed a peace treaty and have no diplomatic relations.

Wayzata goalie Aaron Dingman and defenseman Alex Stevens helped to keep Burnsville scoreless through two periods. In the third, Burnsville scored three times to make it close down the stretch but Wayzata notched the victory 4-3. Photo by Brian Nelson
According to Wayzata coach Pat O'Leary, it is one of his team's greatest strengths, and he knew it would come into play Thursday when the No. 4-ranked Trojans hosted feisty No. 10 Burnsville at the Plymouth Ice Center.
Leading by three goals with 3 minutes remaining, Wayzata had to pull out all of the stops as the Blaze used a power-play push to score two goals in less than two minutes and nearly force overtime in the Trojans' 4-3 victory.
In a final push to tie the score, Burnsville pulled goalie Nic Anderson and brought on the pressure, powering shot after shot at Wayzata goalie Aaron Dingmann.
Dingmann had notched 16 saves through the first and second period for Wayzata (12-2-0), but with the game on the line and the Blaze (7-7-1) on a roll, the Trojans did whatever they could to help clear the puck as the clock ticked down.
"You tell your kids to play 51 minutes and sometimes they do things that are uncharacteristic, defensively," O'Leary said. "[Burnsville] had a couple really nice goals. Obviously, they have some good talent over there. You just can't let those guys free."
"When you play the competition that we play, you gotta play the whole game."
Wayzata and Burnsville seemed to be evenly matched in the early going. Both teams had posted six shots on goals as the second period got underway but the Trojans were able to get on the board first, ending the second period with a commanding 3-0 lead.
"We knew this was a big game coming into it," junior forward Jack Sorenson said. "The last couple of games, we've been in a rut. We knew we had to come out sharp and getting out to that early lead really helped our momentum."
Sorenson notched a goal and an assist and echoed Coach O'Leary's emphasis on the team's defense.
"Scoring goals is always big but our team, we believe defense is first," he said. "We know that if we put up four goals that it's going to be tough to beat us, based on our defensive play and our goaltending."
The Trojans will be forced to test their defense once again on Saturday when they host top-ranked Hill-Murray at home, a challenge Sorenson said he is excited about taking on with his team.
"Nothing better than playing the No. 1 team in your home barn," Sorenson said. "Should be a packed house, should be a good time."

Newcastle United signed centre back Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa from Lige 1 side Montpellier for £6.7 million last night, and the young Frenchman joins with a view to making his mark in the future at St James' Park.
Speaking after signing the contract, Mbiwa said: "Newcastle is a massive club and while we are not in an ideal position at the moment, I think we can definitely finish in the top half of the table.
"In the long term people talk about the top four in the Premier League and I think with the players we have got on board and the manager and his ideas, we can definitely close the gap, get in the top six and, in the long term, why not challenge for the title?"
The ambitious Frenchman is a quality signing for the struggling Magpies. His versatility means he's able to play anywhere across the back four, with pace, strength and aerial ability all available to the player. Indeed, he attracted interest from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger earlier in January, but no offer was forthcoming from the North London outfit.
But, after winning a title with Montpellier last season as captain in France, Mbiwa was persuaded to sign for Newcastle in part by the number of French players already in the Toon squad.
"The way the club has welcomed French players was a very big part of my decision," he added.
"There are a lot of French players already which is something that will definitely help me settle in more quickly."
With Alan Pardew also pursuing Massadio Haidara and Yoan Gouffran, there could be a total of eight Frenchman in the Newcastle squad by the end of the January transfer window.

Okay, since we have to celebrate, and I can't help on the cooking part, so I've made some cooling fresh dessert. Here's come "my version" of agar-agar..haha! Its kind of last minute that my hubby decided to have something cooling after dinner, so I just take out whatever I have in the cupboard and fridge. Found a can of fruit punch and some lemons, so here it goes....;p
Lemon Fruit Punch Jelly..;)
Here's the recipe,
25g agar-agar powder
850ml water
200g sugar
1 can of Fruit Punch
1 lemon, extract juice
~ Drained the can of fruit punch, reserve the juice and set aside.
~ Add in water into the reserve juice (from the fruit punch) until 850ml
~ Pour all ingredients into a pot (except the fruit punch) and bring to boil.
~ Remove from heat and add in fruit punch.
~ Stir well, and pour into moulds. Cool and chill before serve.
Easy right, and it taste good too. Hope you like it..:)
And before I end, I'll like to share with you the dishes we had during dinner........
All these were prepared by my MIL alone...she's really a "superwoman" in her early 70s. All so yummy, and most of us can't really move after the dinner....too full to do anything!!...;p

The U.S. Navy Seals and the elite Team Six have gotten a lot of attention lately for their heroic efforts in the Osama Bin Laden mission. However, I just found out that a special canine was also among the 79 commandos that day. The explosive-sniffing dog was strapped to one of the Navy Seals and descended from the helicopters with the rest of the team.
As it turns out, these trained pups, typically German Shepherds, are routinely used by the top-secret Navy Seal unit. The dogs wear ballistic body armor that protects against knives, shrapnel, and gunfire and carry infrared night cameras that provide troops with critical real-time information.
These pups are trained to jump from aircraft at an incredible 25,000 feet (wearing an air mask of course) and attack anyone carrying a weapon. These talented dogs can also crawl into tunnels and rooms unnoticed.
What an incredible bunch of working pups!

Richie Incognito has kept quiet for more than a week. He may not stay quiet for much longer.
According to TMZ, someone vandalized Incognito's Ferrari on Wednesday, taking a baseball bat repeatedly to the hood and ultimately breaking off the bottom of the bat in the grill of the vehicle.
We're still trying to figure out how Richie Incognito fits in a Ferrari.
Incognito, who is working out in Arizona with free agency looming, purchased the car in November, not long after tackle Jonathan Martin left the team due to alleged harassment by Incognito and others.
He'll be eligible to sign with another team on March 11. It's unknown whether the NFL will issue discipline to Incognito in response to the findings of the Ted Wells report.

Pierce Brosnan (b. 1953) is an Irish-born actor who starred as the title character on the TV detective series Remington Steele from 1982 until 1987. His success as the debonair, mysterious "Remington" (an assumed name) led to an offer to play James Bond in 1986. Though contractual obligations prevented Brosnan from taking the role at the time, he finally played Agent 007 on screen in GoldenEye (1995, with Sean Bean and Robbie Coltrane), and reprised the role in three more features (ending with Die Another Day in 2002) and a video game. He also featured as narrator in the hit children's show Thomas & Friends Direct-to-DVD special The Great Discovery.
Brosnan was the featured guest star in Muppets Tonight episode 204, playing off of his Bond image.

HIV and Older Adults
A Novela Approach
September 2001
Episode 1The scene: A cruise ship, chartered for seven days by a New York social club. Valentino and Ysis are attractive people in late middle age, both widowed. They are dancing cheek to cheek and whispering into each other's ears.
Valentino: "Ysis, I know you know by now that I am attracted to you. What you are feeling is how much I'm attracted to you."
Ysis: "I feel the same way toward you. I haven't felt this way in a long time. Would you like to come back to my cabin for a drink?"
As the couple leaves the dance floor and heads below, however, their consciences chime in.
Ysis's Conscience: "I really like him. He got me hot and he looks clean. The nurses, doctors, radio, and television are always saying you should use condoms for protection, even at our age. I don't want HIV. I've never used one and I never thought to bring any with me. How can I ask him if he has one? Oh, everyone says he is a good man. He wouldn't sleep around with just anybody. It's been five years since Roy died. I deserve to be happy."
Valentino's Conscience: "I really want to sleep with her tonight. Why didn't I pack those condoms? I knew I was coming on this trip. I prepared for it since last year. I really want her. Well, last week with Eloisa I used a condom. And in August when I met Carina I didn't use any condoms and I was nervous because of my history of herpes. But . . . I really want Ysis!"
With this provocative scene, on September 25, 2000, a unique new HIV prevention program was launched. A joint effort of the William F. Ryan Community Health Center and the New York Association on HIV Over Fifty, the story of Valentino and Ysis is one community's approach to getting the prevention message out to an often overlooked population: older adults.
The Ryan Center is located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a neighborhood whose diversity is hard to imagine existing outside New York City. It is a unique mix of people of every ethnicity, of widely varying economic levels, and of all ages and family structures. The avenues are lined with modern luxury co-ops side by side with middle-income housing and city projects. Prewar buildings offer gracious apartments at astronomical rents to those who can afford them, and also house long-term tenants protected by rent control and stabilization. The brownstones on the side streets have long ago been split up into individual apartments, and a significant number have been converted back into single- or two-family dwellings during the gentrification of the past couple of decades. Interspersed are walk-up tenements of so-called railroad flats; apartments that consist of a series of rooms arranged in a single line, and SROs. Elderly people and families with young children share the neighborhood with the affluent singles and childless couples who support the trendy boutiques and pubs. Even the neighborhood's "Latino community" is actually a diverse mix of several communities: Puerto Rican, Mexican, Nicaraguan, Panamanian, and Dominican.
Serving the HIV-Positive CommunityBeulah Hendricks is a Supervising Treatment Educator in Ryan's Special Programs and Outreach Services department. In early 2000, noticing an increase in the number of her HIV-positive clients who were in their late 40s or older, Hendricks began to think about the need for prevention education that targeted Ryan's older clients. She spoke with department director Will Murphy, who referred her to Eve Ammons-Johnson, who is the Coordinator of Ryan's Prevention Education and Outreach Program, as well as co-chair of Ryan's Patient and Family Education Committee. Eventually they were joined by department secretary Teresa Arboleda to form a group charged with developing a prevention program tailored to the needs of Ryan's community.
It was natural that the Ryan people would turn for advice and help to the New York Association on HIV Over Fifty. Ryan had been part of NYAHOF since 1995, and had been a regular co-sponsor of NYAHOF seminars and other events since 1998. Hendricks and Arboleda had long been Ryan's representatives at NYAHOF. Vice Chair Tom Sentell, a retired actor living with AIDS joined the group, with NYAHOF Chair Kathy Nokes, a registered nurse and teacher who has written extensively on HIV among older populations, offering her expertise; and Myron Gold, one of NYAHOF's most active activists, presenting at events.
Episode 2The scene: Central Park Café. Ysis is having coffee with her friend Lydia, and Valentino is there with his friend Robert.
Ysis: "Look. It is Valentino, the guy I met on the cruise."
Lydia: "Oh, the famous guy that has you going? I think I know him."
Ysis: "I am so embarrassed to see him. I was ready to give him some the last night of the cruise. I still want to sleep with him. I am ready. But I am not taking any chances. No condom, no sex, as the young people say."
Lydia: "Friend, looks are deceiving." (To the audience) "People think he is such a saint, a community leader, but the other day I saw him with this young thing. He was going in a hotel. Should I tell Ysis?"
Valentino: "I wonder what Lydia is telling Ysis. I am afraid to tell her the truth."
Robert: "Valentino, what is wrong?"
Valentino: "I have an STD, herpes, and I do not want to tell her because women talk a lot. I don't want it to get out in the community. What about my children? I am their role model. I will die before I let them down."
Discretion Is the Better Part of ValorAs a first step, in July 2000, Ryan and NYAHOF, with help from technical assistance provider Cicatelli Associates, cosponsored a forum entitled "Health Information for Older Adults." Flyers announcing the event were posted throughout Ryan's two locations, and special efforts were made to solicit attendance by patients in the agency's geriatric, women's health, and adult medicine clinics. The Ryan associate medical director addressed the issue of HIV indirectly in his presentation, and the audience also heard from Myron Gold about his own experiences as a person over the age of 50 with AIDS. A detailed questionnaire was distributed at the forum to determine how the older adults in Ryan's service area perceived their own healthcare and health information needs.
This first meeting didn't run without a hitch. The original plan was to include a segment on safer sex, including a demonstration on proper condom use. But the committee had second thoughts. "We looked at the audience," says Arboleda, "and we know that audience, and we realized it was not going to fly."
"The majority come to these events with their grandchildren, their son or daughter," adds Hendricks. "The majority are Latinas. We felt they were not ready for that graphic presentation. Plus it was a mixed group, male-female."
While the first part of the presentation was in progress, committee members grabbed representatives of some community organizations out of the audience for a hasty meeting in the hallway. Although some of the Ryan people, based on their successes with younger adults and teenagers, still favored the direct and more sexually explicit approach, they allowed themselves to be persuaded by these community leaders to drop the graphic safer-sex segment from the program. Instead, the person scheduled to do the safer-sex segment was introduced, and audience members were invited to meet with her privately after the forum with their HIV-related questions. No one came.
A "Novela" ApproachBack to the drawing board. The committee needed a way to reach this older, culturally diverse but largely Latino, audience in a way that was both effective and culturally sensitive.
As it happened, the idea sprang from a last-minute meeting at which the original forum's program was revamped. Ryan's Will Murphy, who had strongly favored the direct and graphic approach, had asked, "What about José and Marisol on the subway?" The reference was to a long-running series of cartoon subway cards telling the ongoing story of a young couple and their friends learning about HIV prevention. The series was done in the form of a Latin novela, a short book in which the story is told through comic book-style drawings. This is closely related to Spanish-language television's telenovela, the Latin soap opera.
The idea had immediate appeal, and the committee got to work on making it a reality. At the core of the committee's approach was that HIV prevention does not exist in a vacuum, but that it is part of overall health education. The questionnaires from the first meeting confirmed what the Ryan people had known intuitively that the community was hungry for information on a variety of healthcare issues. The committee decided to sponsor a series of forums, about one every six weeks, each on a different health-related topic. An expert on diabetes, say, or heart disease, would talk and take questions on the topic. This feature presentation would be followed by a break during which a buffet lunch would be served, and then the audience could settle down for the next installment of the ongoing story of Valentino and Ysis, with its HIV prevention message.
Episode 3The scene: Coffee shop. Valentino and Ysis are sitting at different tables talking and drinking coffee with their friends.
Juan: "There's Ysis with her friends. Are you going to ask her to the Valentine's Day dance?"
Valentino: "I'm not sure. I found out that Ysis knows that I have herpes. The Cristina Show over there is telling everybody about my private problems."
Lydia: "Girl, that dog Valentino's looking at you. Do you still want to go out with him? Are you desperate?"
Ysis: (Angry) "I've worked out everything in my own mind. I know about HIV and STDs. I see more in this relationship than just sex."
Valentino: "Ysis is a good woman. I'm tired of running around with these wild young girls. That's probably how I got herpes in the first place."
Valentino goes over to Ysis's table.
Valentino: "Would you like to come to the Valentine's Day dance with me?"
Episode 4The scene: The Valentine's Day Dance. Valentino and Ysis are dancing and talking.
Valentino: "Your plans for the future are nice, but the world rarely runs as smoothly as we would like it to. We can say anything. Actually carrying out what we plan is a different story. Changing a person's behavior can be an extremely hard thing to do."
Ysis: "Yes, but in our case, we can get sexual and also receive STD education. Everyone wants affection, not only passion."
Valentino hands Ysis a teddy bear with a condom in its paws.
Ysis: "So where do we go from here?"
Involvement and AccessibilityEssential to getting the message across was that the stories be involving and accessible. NYAHOF's Sentell, with his theatrical background, served as script consultant (and frequent writer). The telenovela technique of ending each episode with a cliffhanger was adopted.
HIV clinical Care Coordinator Paul Stabile, who joined the program in January of this year, picks up the story. "They knew the idea was relationships," says Stabile. "And they knew they wanted to make sure they were dealing with both male issues and female issues."
"It goes into their egos," says Arboleda, "and their feelings, and the main characters discuss their feelings with their friends."
"And we wanted to get an STD in," adds Hendricks. "So we went in with an STD, which was herpes."
Absolutely crucial, of course, was that the message be presented in both English and Spanish. Dialogue is spoken first in English and then in Spanish by the bilingual actors (Hendricks herself plays Ysis). The technique works very well, with speeches kept deliberately short so that no segment of the audience is left sitting and waiting for the other-language version to end. Each episode is relatively short, with the entire presentation, including translation, taking under twenty minutes.
The spirit of the telenovela extends into the question-and-answer period that follows each episode. The actors answer questions as their characters, expressing their feelings and doubts about such issues as negotiating condom usage or testing for HIV. Others who are not in the cast are available to provide more objective information, such as the difference between anonymous and confidential testing.
Episode 5The scene: A diner. Valentino and a friend are having coffee.
Fabian: "What's up. I haven't seen you since Valentine's Day. Did you get lucky that night?"
Valentino: "What a night! Ysis and I were intimate. Whoa! It was a very sensitive and caring experience. It was a shared moment I will never forget. It was more than luck, my friend."
Fabian: "It seems your days of Don Juan are over!"
Valentino: "I am ready to get serious, ready to settle down with Ysis. But ever since the night of the dance I have had a funny feeling that there is something strange going on with Ysis. It seems as if she is putting all types of barriers between us. We haven't been intimate since that night."
Episode 6Ysis: "I have to tell you about my past, things you don't know about. You're my friend, so I know that I can confide in you."
Deborah: "You know you can trust me."
Ysis: "A few years ago, after Roy died, during a trip to Miami, I had a one-night stand with one of Roy's best friends."
ApplauseThe response has been overwhelmingly positive. As is the norm with forums of this type, audience members are asked to fill out evaluation sheets. From the program's beginning, the numerical evaluations have been high and the comments have focused on how interesting and informative the presentations were. The negative comments have tended to be complaints that more time was needed for questions and discussions.
An even more telling measure of effectiveness is the audience's on-the-spot reaction, as observed by the Ryan and NYAHOF people at the forums. Over the course of the series, they have noticed that the post-novela discussion has become more animated and more open, with deeper issues being brought up. In addition, individuals whom the Ryan people know as patients in their HIV clinic are taking the initiative, without revealing their own positive status, of throwing out provocative questions for discussion.
Perhaps the most important measure of the program's popularity with the community is the number of people who keep coming back. At the September forum, the first featuring the novela, half of the audience consisted of people who had attended the July forum. In November, sixty percent had been there for episode one. In February, seventy percent were returnees, and by May the percentage of people who had come back for more had risen to 75 percent.
The bottom line, of course, is whether the prevention message is getting through in a way that changes people's behavior and lessens the possibility of their contracting the virus. By that yardstick, there is no way to measure the direct success of a program like this. What does seem apparent, however, is that in one community one healthcare agency is beginning to address the issue of prevention for an overlooked population's older, low-income, largely Latino, adults.
Will Ysis tell Valentino about her one-night stand?
Will Deborah keep Ysis's confidence?
Will Ysis get tested for HIV?
The answers will come in later episodes of the ongoing love story of Valentino and Ysis.

By late summer, U.S. residents will be making one less trip to their home and business mailboxes each week.
On Wednesday the U.S. Postal Service announced it would stop delivering mail on Saturdays, and that the discontinuation would begin in August.
Packages will still be delivered six days a week. USPS studies have revealed that while the advent of email and other Internet services had led to a sharp decline in the delivery of letters and other mail, package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010. Mail will still be delivered to post office boxes on Saturday, and post offices that offer Saturday hours will continue to do so.
�I think it is a good move, it helps to keep the USPS viable,� said Edward Moore, manager of communications for the Detroit USPS district. �In studies seven out of 10 Americans have supported the change.�
He said the USPS expects to continue to see growth in the delivery of packages as sales teams at local offices continue to recommend the process.
Moore said he doesn�t expect any employees to lose their jobs with the move. Employees' schedules will be adjusted accordingly at each individual location.
Residents in Branch and Hillsdale counties have differing opinions on the decision.
"Seems like all the important mail I get anymore is email," said Joseph Baldauf of Coldwater. "Snail mail just brings the mail you don't want. As long as UPS and FedEx still plan on running on Saturdays, it doesn't seem like a big deal."
Joel Fuller of Jonesville concurred.
"No one really relies onUSPS anymore to get regular mail," he said. "Checks are direct deposited, magazines are online, and when is the last time your best friend sent you a letter?"
Brandi Revers of Hillsdale does not agree.
"Not everyone has a computer, or access to a computer for that matter," she said. "What about the elderly who do not even know how to get on a computer? They rely on mail. I have an aunt that send us a Christmas card and letter every year, and I love getting it."
The plan will save the floundering USPS about $2 billion a year.
"Over the past several years, the Postal Service has advocated shifting to a five-day delivery schedule for mail and packages � and it repeatedly but unsuccessfully appealed to Congress to approve the move," an Associated Press story said.�"Though an independent agency, the service gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but is subject to congressional control."
Moore said the USPS is working closely with customers on helping them to change their mailing habits.
"The Postal Service is advancing an important new approach to delivery that reflects the strong growth of our package business and responds to the financial realities resulting from America's changing mailing habits," Donahoe said in a statement prepared for the announcement. "We developed this approach by working with our customers to understand their delivery needs and by identifying creative ways to generate significant cost savings."
The Postal Service made the announcement more than six months before the switch to give residential and business customers time to plan and adjust.
Donahoe�said the change would mean a combination of employee reassignment and attrition.
The�USPS in November reported an annual loss of a record $15.9 billion for the last budget year and forecast more red ink in 2013, capping a tumultuous year in which it was forced to default on billions in retiree health benefit prepayments to avert bankruptcy.
The financial losses for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 were more than triple the $5.1 billion loss in the previous year. Having reached its borrowing limit, the mail agency is operating with little cash on hand.
The Postal Service is in the midst of a major restructuring throughout its retail, delivery and mail processing operations. Since 2006, it has cut annual costs by about $15 billion, reduced the size of its career workforce by 193,000 or by 28 percent, and has consolidated more than 200 mail processing locations, officials say.
Representatives of Branch and Hillsdale county post offices declined to comment.

Worksman NYC Dutchie Commuter

$300 base price is only a little higher than what is being charged for cruiser bikes imported from China at most local bike shops. I wish you could find a Workman bike for, say, $400 at an LBS. And $700 for a well-equipped Shimano 7-speed is only a hundred more than the Taiwanese-made bikes (like my Breezer).
It would cost quite a bit to ship one of these to the west coast, but for people in the Northeast it makes a lot of sense to consider one of these bikes, Made in America

It's great that you are featuring these, are you planning to test ride one? I second Joseph E's sentiment that it's too bad local bike shops do not carry them. I am curious to try the lady's model.

Great blog! I just got back into cycling after a few years away. I'm using a Worksman to get around now and I'm impressed with how well it is made. It's no lightweight to be sure but it rides very well.

text: A Stroll Through the Park – Paul & Joe designer Sophie Albou kept it simple for the label's fall 2012 showing presented during Paris Fashion Week. A story of menswear inspired pieces with a feminine flair set the stage for relaxed trousers matched with tailored blazers and jackets. The color palette was steeped in autumn hues of navy, ash grey, army green, marmalade and even a rare metallic fabric. For the final section, the boyish looks were given a glam touch with lacy tops and crystal embellished belts.
