In my spare time, sometimes I find myself thinking about Jesus. We all have a general idea of how Jesus passed his time here on Earth, but how is he spending it now? Is he lounging around Heaven, enjoying life at a level the living cannot possibly comprehend? Or, is he a very busy man? You know God has a lot on his golden plate, dealing with all the different galaxies and universes and dimensions, not to mention the battle that is about to erupt between the Talaxians and the Bajorans of the Triangulm Galaxy (don't even get me started).


text: The popular South Asian festival Mosaic got started with a bang last night with a slew of events, including a fashion show. The free festival, which continues through Sunday at Celebration Square, started in style with a fashion show featuring a number of notable Mississauga women strutting the catwalk showing off the latest South Asian designs. Models included City of Mississauga Ward 5 Councillor Bonnie Crombie, Mississauga Arts Council executive director Linda Thomas and television personality Indra Naidoo Harris. However, that wasn't all. There were screenings of selections from the Mosaic International South Asian Film Festival as well as a poetry reading. Those in attendance took advantage of the food vendors, midway rides and shopping booths. Asma Mahmood co-founded the annual multi-disciplinary event with her husband, Arshad, and they expect a turnout of 70,000 visitors this weekend. Mosaic continues tonight with an official opening reception at 7 p.m. There will also be more film screenings, a youth arts and crafts sale plus performances by bands as part of Rock The Coliseum. As well, there will be a presentation of Sikh martial arts and a performance by jazz and blues band Red Baraat. Visit www.mosaicfest.com for the full program and schedule.

Terry Wells, Alzheimer's Association volunteer sends this invitation to the readers of the Altus Times to come to the 3rd Annual Memory Walk:
Since there are more than 74,000 Oklahomans diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, I will be walking in support of awareness. I hope everyone will join me at the Altus Community Center, Saturday, Nov. 3 at 10 a.m.
Quick facts:
5.4 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease. One in eight older Americans has Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and the only cause of death among the top 10 in the United States that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed. More than 15 million Americans provide unpaid care valued at $210 billion for persons with Alzheimer's and other dementias. Payments for care are estimated to be $200 billion in the United States in 2012.
Alzheimer's disease is the fifth-leading cause of death for those over age 65.
An estimated 800,000 individuals with Alzheimer's (or one in seven) live alone.

And it was the best smoothie I have ever had in my life. I mean it. Like, I have been drinking smoothies since 1977. I remember because I had my first one went to see Star Wars (the original) for the second time/without my parents. The smoothie shop had just opened next door to the theatre. So the memory has stuck with me. And yet here in 2008, thirty-one years and thousands of smoothies later, THIS Badboy BURRITO SMOOTHIE WAS THE BEST SMOOTHIE I HAD EVER HAD!!! This was soon followed up by a truly magnificent latte (soy), and the whole entire thing went over the edge with a burrito which pretty much had me thinking about being hungry enough again to go through the whole thing again.
The burritos, you see, are gourmet-style, a mix of all kinds of cultural flavors which you pick, and they are made with basmati rice and rattlesnake beans, with options for strict vegetarians as well as carnivores. (I get the local fish or local shrimp burrito. Everytime.) AND THEY ARE GOOOD!
SO the next day I did go back. The very next day. And then the next. In fact, in the beginning I went everyday for like two weeks. I was afraid they would get sick of me coming in, like "Oh look it's that tall dorky guy who is way into our food. I guess we'll have to be nice him again." But fortunately (for all of us) all my friends showed up, too. And it turned out that my friends were their friends! (whew) So they let me stay. And order more food, and that's pretty much how it has gone down.
But there is a little more. See, Erin and Chris are dedicated to all the good stuff. They prefer serving you with a for here cup or plate. But if you have to go, then they have that end covered as well with completely biodegradable cups, plates, containers, forks, knives, the works. For me, someone dedicated to the premise that our planet is wicked nasty cool ie one-of-a-kind and worth extra effort on my part including but not limited to recyclables and re-usable and sustainable and organic products, Badboy Burrito is really great. I feel relaxed when I am there. Even when its busy. People there are cool, and I have even made new friends there (which is kind of amazing considering how off-to-the-side and sort-of quiet I am).
Oh yeah. Something else I should mention about Badboy Burrito. Co-owner Chris Otten is some kind of chef god, and has cooked for James Beard in NYC and he is head chef at 915. Or some such. You can read about it on his Facebook page. Also, he has a pretty cool radio station on Pandora. And a really good iPod. Erin's his girlfriend so obviously the two of them have all kinds of good stuff going on to have picked one another. Ask them about it. They are real, friendly and open.
I don't know what else to say. If you voted Obama, and you love fresh-cooked food that is inexpensive yet delicious and plentiful and made by very wonderful people dedicated to a better planet, and you happen to find yourself on the island of Key West, than you can no better than Badboy Burrito.

How much fun can u have cruise n' with your teenager? One day at sea – I was the financial conduit for beverages & gifts. My son told me his happiest moment on the ship – eating French fries, drinking coke & playing video games. Could have stayed in SF for that program.
Wear2Where Cruise Attire
If you cruise in this attire you will be very popular!
- Need Uggs for running around
- Sweats/sweat shirt for lounging
- Cashmere cozy dress
- 2 pair high heels, so what if you have to walk 12 flights of stairs
- Tennis shoes for excursions or workout which I never did
- Warm down jacket with hood (I forgot the hood)
- Umbrella which I also forgot
- Dance shoes and attire dance parties all night long
- Hat or ear muffs & warm gloves, think ski attire
Diet Cruise Plan
- Don't eat 2 donuts at breakfast
- Don't beg for pancakes after station closed
- Don't go to afternoon tea, it's not about the tea but really about cookies
- Exercise – I never found the fitness center til last day
- Take dance classes even if it's the waltz
- Don't circle the buffet table way too dangerous
Cruise the Food
Icy Strait
No where to go 3 stores comprise the town. Stay on ship with a cruise cocktail.
Salmon fishing, of course. First time fishing we caught 4 fish. Had no idea how much work involved to prep fish for market. So much easier to just order off menu. No stores in town. Saving money on this trip. Snappy fishing attire.
Took high speed boat looking for wildlife. Pouring rain, rough waters and only saw one deer. Could have seen that in San Mateo. Wore everything I owned and anything left over from Jordan, still not enough. Called for additional Alaskan Beer that night to bring up the body temperature.
Wear2Where Cruise Tips
- Don't book excursions through cruise line- no flexibility, no refunds
- Ability to add excursions on shore at lower cost
- Barb would do research of ports. Helps to negotiate private tranportation
- Beverage package for teenager huge value. Are 5 cokes a day too much?
- Best travel to Alaska really starts mid July when salmon are running, also determines ability to see wildlife.
- Travel with layers of clothing.
- Watch for hidden ship costs, drinks, spa, bingo,arcades, Internet.
Why Cruise? Great way to meet new friends. Friendships transcend all trips! Talk to everyone. Met someone briefly at breakfast ended up salsa dancing with their family that night. They were so nice I want to go on their next vacation!

Cigarettes: Freedom of choice?
August 16, 2012 Leave a comment
In Australia cigarette-producers lost the case, trying to stop pictures from appearing on cigarette packs.
I really think that we are now crossing the line. In Holland we (for now) have the text 'smoking will kill you' on cigarette packs. But now that will change to pictures with green teeth or tumors, on the front of a package. It looks disgusting. Not that I hate people who have such diseases from smoking, but it shouldn't appear on those packages. As if everyone smoking (maybe even a few) cigarettes will end up with a tumor, and die. A personal future is forced upon you when you buy cigarettes, 'there's no escaping this tumor, don't buy cigarettes, for you will die'. Ofcourse people should be aware of health problems caused by smoking, but they should remain free to choose. I think 90% of the people who see such a picture will look away in disgust, when they see such a picture. That is taking away someone's choice, it is too much. We all want to live our lives, experiencing as much freedom as possible. These pictures are like putting an electric charge on a beer bottle, he who tries to buy it will die. People should be advised not to buy cigarettes, not stopped from buying. Just to make things clear, I never smoked one cigarette in my whole life, I just saw this passing by in the newspaper. But this is wrong. Showing an improbable, terrible future of an innocent person trying to buy something of which he thinks makes him happy, is wrong.

DVD Extra: Deanna Durbin meets Jean Renoir
- Posted: 12:28 PM, November 27, 2012
Universal's surprisingly satisfying celebration of its 100th anniversary with a robust slate of classic Blu-ray releases -- unlike Paramount, which has outsourced most of its back catalogue -- unfortunately did not extend to any films starring Deanna Durbin, who as a teenager in the late 1930s rescued the film from bankruptcy and remained one of the studio's top attractions for a decade.
But the recently revived Universal Vault Series -- the studio's on-and-off manufacture-on-demand DVD program, not to be confused with the limited-edition TCM Vault, which also offers DVDs from Universal, but (mostly) on pressed discs -- has released one of Durbin's more intriguing films, unavailable since the VHS era since it didn't make the cut for either Universal's "Sweetheart Pack'' in 2004 or the "Music and Romance Collection'' issued by the TCM Vault in 2010. (There are some very minor digital artifacts that would have been worked out in a Blu-ray master, but otherwise this looks as sharp and bright as most of the Universal Vault releases I've seen)
"The Amazing Mrs. Holliday'' (1943) is not only one of Durbin's more entertaining efforts from the second half of her career, it has a fascinating backstory that includes a major contract dispute and a bumpy production history (the celebrated Jean Renoir, Durbin's hand-picked choice as director, was replaced mid-shoot) that between kept the hugely popular star off screen for all of 1942.
Durbin by all accounts was very upset when producer Joe Pasternak, who had guided her early films at Universal, departed after the completion of 1941's "It Started With Eve'' for a long-term deal at MGM, where he went to immediately work with that studio's stable of Durbin wanabes -- Judy Garland in "Presenting Lily Mars'' and Kathryn Grayson in the very Durbin-seque "Seven Sweethearts'' (both 1942).
An alarmed Durbin, who turned 20 in 1941, went on suspension for six months, demanding that Universal, exclusively her home since 1936, grant her the right to make some films for Pasternak at MGM, where she had briefly been under contract but appeared only in a single musical short. "Get rid of the fat one,'' Louis B. Mayer is famously said to have ordered after watching it -- he meant co-star Garland, who like Durbin struggled with weight issues -- but to his everlasting regret, Durbin was sent into Universal's grateful arms.
By 1941, Durbin had been surpassed as Universal's top moneymaker by Abbott and Costello, but she was still important enough to the company's bottom line that they refused to let Durbin work elsewhere for the rest of her career (It's fascinating to imagine what might have happened if Durbin had toplined Garland's box-office breakthrough, "Meet Me in St. Louis''). Universal did mollify Durbin with a fat new contract -- by 1945 she was reportedly the top paid woman in the United States -- that not only granted her TV residuals for her films from that point (an extraordinary concession in this era) but her pick of directors, producers, and story properties.
Presumably, Durbin turned up her pretty little nose at some of Universal's other A projects for 1943 -- imagine Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt'' with Durbin in Teresa Wright's role (she did snag fortysomething Joseph Cotten as her improbable GI love interest for 1943's "Hers to Hold'') or, more somewhat plausibly, the Technicolor remake of "The Phantom of the Opera'' reconfigured as a Durbin vehicle (would Universal have still needed the wooden and top-billed Nelson Eddy, who served as Durbin backup Susanna Foster's love interest?).
After some abortive announcements -- including "Three Smart Girls Join Up,'' a sequel that eventually morphed into "Hers to Hold'' minus the two other smart girls -- Universal announced that Durbin would do another wartime subject, "The Amazing Mrs. Holliday,'' under her chosen director, the French emigre Renoir, who had recently completed his American debut, "Swamp Water'' (with some uncredited reshoots by Irving Pichel) at Fox. Her choice for producer was Bruce Manning, a friend who had written several of her early pictures, recently promoted to producer for the 1941 remake of "Back Street.''
In a grittier role than usual, Durbin plays a young missionary in war-torn China who flees ahead of the advancing Japanese and smuggles a group of orphans (only the youngest is Chinese) onto a freighter. The ship is owned by a crusty old millionaire (Harry Davenport) who promises Durbin to find a home for the orphans -- before the vessel is sunk by a Japanese torpedo and the old man is (presumably) lost at sea.
Durbin and the orphans are picked up by another vessel and deposited in San Francisco, where the millionaire's eccentric aide (Barry Fitzgerald), another survivor, convinces the millionaire's nephew (Edmond O'Brien) and less enthusiastic older relatives that the old man married Durbin at sea. Durbin initially goes along with the masquerade, sings several songs, shows off some amazing Vera West gowns and is romanced by O'Brien, who uses his political clout to get the kids green cards. (Though he and Durbin have a nice chemistry -- they were reteamed in 1947's "For the Love of Mary'' -- you sort of half-expect O'Brien to pull a gun on Durbin, just like fellow noir icon Van Heflin in "Seven Sweethearts'').
The circumstances of Renoir's departure are somewhat murky. By some accounts, he asked to be replaced as a director, pleading he was indisposed because of an injury from World War II -- though he was well enough to begin "This Land is Mine'' (recently released by the Warner Archive Collection) not long afterwards. Universal brass were reportedly unhappy because the film was way behind schedule and over budget, so they were amenable to Durbin's suggestion that her pal, producer Manning, take over the helm despite lack of previous directorial experience.
Manning also performed an uncredited rewrite on the script -- forcing a two-month production hiatus -- and personally supervised a second-unit that shot footage at a San Francisco shipyard that required security clearance (but does not show up in the final film, though there is much discussion of a trip by the orphans there).
Most sources agree that much of the footage that Renoir shot ended up in the final film -- the China and ocean sequences are clearly his work -- even though the film's direction is credited entirely to Manning (possibly at Renoir's insistence). Manning latter never directed another film (nor produced another Durbin vehicle) despite an end result that in no way betrays a troubled production. Like many Durbin films, this one has a top-notch supporting cast -- besides Fitzgerald and Davenport, Arthur Treacher, Grant Mitchell, Freida Inescort, Esther Dale, Elisabeth Risdon, Jonathan Hale and Gus Schilling are all on hand.
There is much more detail about this film at the invaluable Deanna Durbin Devotees website including this 1954 quote from Renoir (who did not mention the film in his later autobiography): "I met Deanna Durbin and liked her very much. I had all the Durbin pictures run through for me and those made by [Henry] Koster were certainly the best. However, I had no gift for that style, and 'The Amazing Mrs. Holliday' was rightly finished by people who know the job better."
This same website also has some terrific collection of production photos, as well as off-set candids, like the one above, which suggests Durbin may have met the love of her life on this movie. It shows a picnic lunch break with co-directors Renoir (second left) and Manning (standing at right with sunglasses). Most interestingly, though, the guy with the glasses sitting next to Durbin is Charles David, who is not credited on "The Amazing Mrs. Holliday'' but was Renoir's assistant director on "Rules of the Game'' and "Grand Illusion'' and quite possibly served in the same capacity here. Durbin at the time was married to another assistant director, Vaughn Paul, whom she divorced in late 1943. In 1945, Durbin married another of her screenwriter-producers, the much older Felix Jackson. That same year, David directed one of Durbin's best late movies, the Jackson-produced "Lady on a Train'' (1945), and five years after that, David would become the third husband of the by-then-divorced-and-retired Durbin -- a union that lasted until his death in 1999.
Tuesday's releases from the Warner Archive Collection -- which incidentally has extended its 5-for-$50 Cyber Monday sale through the end of the day -- include Terence Young's World War II thriller "Triple Cross'' (1966) with Christopher Plummer and Yul Brenner as well as Leslie Martinson's "Black Gold'' (1962), a programmer starring Philip Carey and Diane McBain. WAC is also taking pre-orders for next Tuesday's release of Sam Wood's "The Unguarded Hour'' (1936), a whodunit with Loretta Young and Franchot Tone, as well as three pre-codes coming due on Dec. 11: Michael Curtiz' "God's Gift to Woman'' (1931) starring Frank Fay and Joan Blondell; Roy Del Ruth's "Sideshow'' (1931) with Winnie Lightner and Guy Kibbee; and Alfred Green's "It's Tough to Be Famous'' (1932) starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Mary Brian.
Fox Cinema Archives sends word that it has put today's much-anticipated release of Richard Brooks' "Deadline U.S.A'' (1951) starring Humphey Bogart on indefinite hold. Also being delayed by "clearance issues'' -- aka rights problems -- are "Crack in the Mirror'' with Orson Welles and "The Warriors'' (aka "The Dark Avenger''). WAC claimed on its Facebook Page that it holds U.S. rights in perpetuity to the latter late Errol Flynn vehicle (by virue of its domestic theatrical release via Allied Artists) and is proceeding with it own plans to release a remastered version of this title. Stay tuned.
On the Blu-ray front, Fox is now going to release an upgrade of the 1952 "Titanic'' starring Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb -- previously announced for last September -- on January 1. Two weeks later, it will offer a Blu-ray version of the 1941 Oscar winning Best Picture, John Ford's "How Green Was My Valley'' as well as a couple of Elia Kazan titles were listed a couple of weeks ago as part of exclusive sets that have since been pulled from the Fox Connect website: "Gentlemen's Agreement'' (1947, another Best Picture winner) and "Wild River'' (1963).

2005 Clerc Milon Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux Blend: 1500ml
about this wine:
Location: Chateau Clerc-Milon is located in Pauillac, just between Chateau Mouton-Rothschild and Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. 69 acres producing 14,000 cases. Classification: 5th Growth Grape Varieties: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon , 25% Merlot, 10% other varieties. Vinification and aging: These wines receive the same treatment as their more famous neighbor and Rothschild stablemate, Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. Style: The wines of Clerc Milon are firm and well structured due to the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon used to make them. They have hints of raspberry and black currant in the nose and on the palate. These wines are able to easily age for a decade or longer but are suprisingly accessible at much younger ages...
points awarded:
WA 91-93 WS 95Mike Supple, JJ Buckley, April 2006
48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot, 1% Carmenčre. Bright red color with flecks of purple. Extremely floral nose over tobacco, raspberry and cherry. Very full and round on the plate. Fine tannins that are well integrated. Ripe fruit up front with notes of chocolate and espresso. Delicious.
Mike Supple, JJ Buckley, January 2008
Showing very impressively for such a young Pauillac. Rich caramel underscored by herbs, red cherry and blackberry on the nose. Soft entry on the palate with a round, full body. Big, ripe tannins with a long sweet fruit and toasted caramel finish.
91 -93 points,
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2007
Administrator Philippe Dalhuin has turned out an atypically structured, tannic, less approachable Clerc-Milon that has put on weight since last year and now rivals its stablemate, dâ_TArmailhac. Powerful notes of forest floor, black currants, cherries, graphite, and pain grille emerge from this fresh yet exceptionally powerful, intense effort. It also possesses surprisingly high alcohol for this vintage (13.5%). The final blend was 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025+.
95 points,
Wine Spectator, March 2008
Offers fabulous aromas of currant, tar, lead pencil and mineral. Full-bodied, with supersoft tannins that caress the palate. Beautiful and impressive. A fabulous wine. The best Clerc in a very long time. Best after 2014. -JS

CBBC multichannel strategy for children
Alison Sharman, the recently installed controller of CBBC, sees CBBC as the "vanguard" of the digital revolution:"The phenomenal success of the iPod demonstrates to me some important general themes about the way media consumption is evolving.
It is going personal, mobile and, most important, on-demand," she said. Sharman added that we are in an age where viewers increasingly take what they want, when they want it.
"And this genuinely revolutionary change in the consumption of content means that we must take a long, hard look at how we currently go about providing that content; how we schedule; and how we distribute it. It is not enough just to upgrade what we currently do, we need a whole new operating system, a new way of thinking about and executing content creation and delivery. We need – in many ways – to redefine what we mean by broadcasting," she said.

Sligo Rovers -v- Bohemians
Sun, Sep 02 2012SLIGO ROVERS
League leaders Sligo Rovers will be looking to continue their quest for the league title when they welcome Bohemians to The Showgrounds on Monday evening.
The bit o'red are unbeaten since the 21st of May and have been impressive in recent games. Rovers were victorious in the first meeting of these two sides this season, earning a 1-0 win and their second meeting was an entertaining scoreless draw at Dalymount Park.
In their previous four games, Sligo have won two and drawn two. Their most recent game was against St. Patrick's Athletic at Richmond Park where they drew 0-0.
Romauld Boco moved to Accrington Stanley during the week to rejoin former Sligo Rovers boss Paul Cook. Ross Gaynor is missing through suspension and Iarfhlaith Davoren will be missing due to injury. Danny North remains sidelined with a cruciate ligament injury. Pascal Millien returns following a hamstring injury which he picked up against UCD two weeks ago.
Manager Ian Baraclough says his side are ready for the challenge that Bohemians present: "We spent the early part of the week on togetherness and getting away from football because it was a long wait for another game and it was important to vary things. It was a good build-up, we put a lot of focus on the game in the last few days and we're ready for Monday night now in a big test against Bohemians.
"Ross is absent this week. It is something we've been anticipating for a while when he was on three yellow cards so we'll have to make some slight adjustments to the team. We've prepared for that and we have players that can fill in, players that have been waiting for a chance and I'm sure they will look to show what they can do.
"Apart from the games against each other, we look at it that we expect our rivals to win all their matches from here to the end of the season. We have to make it happen for ourselves, keep our good home record going and keep winning games."
Aaron Callaghan's side are sitting in sixth place in the table and are three points behind Derry City in fifth. The Gypsies have lost two of their last three league games and have not won a league game since July 27th.
Garreth O'Connor returns to Bohemians for another spell, having started the season with Monaghan United. Kevin Devaney has also been brought in to boost Callaghan's side. The 21 year old, whose previous clubs include Sligo Rovers, is eligible for selection on Monday, so too are Ken Carr and Garreth O'Connor.
Callaghan is faced with a number of injuries ahead of the game. Owen Heary is suffering with a back injury and Kevin Feely is suspended. Ryan McEvoy is also expected to be missing with an ankle injury.
Callaghan says concentration levels are key: "We have had two good games against them this year. We were just beaten by the odd goal up there and drew 0-0 at home and we could have nicked it. But we know they're a good side, they move and pass well, and we have got to make sure we keep up our concentration levels."
Referee: Damien Hancock.
Only Dundalk and UCD have picked up fewer points than Bohemians in away games. Out of eleven away games, Bohs have won three, drawn one and lost seven.
Sligo Rovers have the best home record in the league this season: winning seven games, drawing four and losing none.
In their last ten league meetings, Bohemians have won four, Sligo have won two and they've drawn four times.
Sligo Rovers 2/5; Draw 16/5; Bohemians 13/2.
A 2-1 win for Sligo Rovers.

Glenview administrator keeps job after DUI charge
GLENVIEW – A top Glenview administrator will remain a village employee after his arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol.

When we first pulled into Millville I was taken back by all the strip malls and big box stores(yuk!). Fortunately the Fairfeild in was nestled in the... woods just far enough away from all this mess to make you forget about it. The nice thing is it is close enough to get to food places and anything else. Hotel was very clean and had all the things you need(microwave, fridge, WIFI, Cable). I have yet to find a Fairfield Inn I didn't like though and this one met and exceeded those standards. by Brian S. from Lehigh Valley, PA on 05/07/13

A retired New York City detective once told me that a murder case can be considered cold after three days. In his experience, if he hadn't developed a viable lead within 72 hours—a lead that could be run down to a potential suspect—he knew the case would either take a long time to solve or would often go unsolved altogether.
That surprised me. I was always under the impression it took at least a decade or so before a case could be officially committed to the cold storage. It made me wonder if his perception differed from other detectives across the country. A homicide detective at the NYPD, who's accustomed to dealing with a heavy case load, must have a different approach than a detective from, say, the Louisiana bayou, who handles maybe a dozen murders a year—right?
To my surprise, I've discovered that the answer is no. Most agencies focus their manpower on the cases with the freshest leads and a high solvability potential. Barring significant media attention, cases without fresh or solid leads are temporarily put on the back burner. Although statutes of limitation force a detective's hand in closing out rape cases, molestation cases and other felonies after a certain number of years, this it isn't so with homicide. Some homicides only remain cold until that viable lead comes through. But there's a tragic number that go cold, stay cold, and leave a wake of victims in their path—and a trail of killers who walk free.
I ran a cold case unit at America's Most Wanted for seven years, elbow to elbow with some of the best investigative minds in the country. It was, at times, the loneliest job I've ever had. I spent days holed up in my office reading transcripts, sifting through thousands of pages of police documents and listening to taped interviews for hours at a time. By the end of a few weeks, my neck was so stiff I could hardly move my head. But with cold cases, something overtakes you and won't let you go. Not until I had stumbled onto something that smelled new to me—a lealead that had been overlooked and one that I hoped could result in cold, hard handcuffs clinking on a pair of guilty wrists—only then would I stop. The fact is, there's nothing more exhilarating than reopening a cold case, getting a fresh perspective and catching that break that ends up with a killer behind bars.
But as many police investigators know, despite our efforts, some cases are impossible to solve. Reactivating old leads, finding new ones and breathing life into a cold case can be painstakingly frustrating. Often, the result of our work is just another decade in cold storage. The colder a case gets, the harder it gets to solve: potential suspects move away, pass away, some even get killed; evidence is misplaced, misused or lost completely; and eyewitnesses, once cooperative, become reluctant.
On the flip side, time might be on your side. New technologies can decipher old forensic evidence or an unknown witness can suddenly come forward. Perhaps the killer, convinced he's gotten away with murder, brags to a stranger on a bar stool. Maybe a jilted girlfriend decides to get even and drop a dime. The NYPD detective I used to work with told me, "You just never know when you might catch that break." Sometimes it takes a leap of faith to find that bit of evidence, but if it does fall into place, watch out. A breakthrough on a cold case can literally take your breath away.
When I approached the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office (TPSO) in 2000 to see how they felt about us reopening one of their cold cases and bringing in a retired NYPD detective as our "on-air" investigator, to their credit, they never hesitated. The response: "Come on down, ya'll. Sounds like fun." Thus, the unlikely partnership of Brooklyn-born Det. Ron Antoci of NYPD, Bayou-born Det. David LeBoeuf of the TPSO and a television producer was formed.
My team spent months in Houma, La., reworking the old leads with LeBoeuf, interviewing friends, family members and gossip queens. We combed through the little black books of the victim, Ray Guidry, a self-proclaimed Hugh Hefner of Louisiana and helped identify some of the hundreds of women he had photographed at his infamous pool parties. Guidry was an equal opportunity womanizer, and almost every woman in the bayou had found her way into his little black book. As we dug deeper, we learned Guidry's flagrant behavior and his reputation as a ruthless businessman made his murder extremely hard to solve. It seemed almost everyone in Houma had a motive, and none seemed too sorry Guidry had died with a knife wound near his heart.
By the end of a year, we'd managed to knock holes in the persistent rumors that had stubbornly swirled for 16 years around this case. It took three airings on AMW and our own independent investigation, but we helped identify a potential person of interest who'd not been on LaBoeuf's radar before.
I asked David LeBoeuf, now a captain at the TPSO, what compelled him to allow us into the case. "It was worth the risk," he said. "If we could close a 16-year-old unsolved murder, why not try? I mean our department spent a lot of years and a lot of money on this case. Now, maybe we're a little bit closer to finding the truth, and I think that made it worthwhile."
It's like everything else in life: without risk, there's no gain. The media, for all their flaws and single-mindedness, can be useful to law enforcement. Face it: You need the public to help you solve your case, and the quickest way to finding those reluctant witnesses and potential leads is often through the media.
The key to approaching and working with the media—whether on cold cases, or breaking crime stories—is having the right attitude. Reporters and producers aren't your friends, but they aren't your enemies either. It's a business relationship.
Don't share the juiciest piece of the case and then tell them they can't use it. Don't try controlling your statements as either on or off the record. It gets confusing. Here's my simple rule: Everything you say to the press is on the record. Otherwise, don't say it. Most importantly, don't ever lie to the press. If you don't know the answer to their question, say you'll do some research and get back to them. If you know something but can't divulge the answer, just tell them that. Use the phrase "to keep the integrity of the case." The reason you don't want to fudge anything is because of the integrity of the case. The bottom line: If you're straight with the media, they'll respect you more, and it can become a mutually beneficial experience.
Now that you understand it's a business relationship, don't take it personally if you pitch a cold case and the person you first talk to isn't interested. Not everyone is going to be interested. Maybe the busy assignment editor doesn't have the time required to understand the case. Try someone else.
You need to target the right source to have any success. I recommend you get the name of a reporter, preferably a crime reporter or even a producer, and do some research. What have they written? Is it thoughtful, thorough and balanced? Or is it splashy, spotty and one-sided?
Use your department's resources to find out who's had good experiences with a reporter. Who's had a bad experience? Reaching out to a reporter who's already worked with your colleague is like going out on a second date: The awkward first kiss is already out of the way. The reporter already knows how your department works and will know immediately if what you're offering is a story they can sell to their editor. My advice is never pitch only one case. Have a few in reserve. If you still get shut out, ask them what kind of stories they are looking for.
Pitching is an art form, and sometimes it helps to anticipate what the press might be looking for well in advance. With TV they look for visual elements: photos, reports, evidence, surveillance video (even if it's poor quality), but they also like action: the ride-along, a stakeout, or better yet, an interesting interview they can label "exclusive."
With print, they're much more into the detail of the story. They use sidebar stories to explain complicated scenarios, like familial DNA, the basics of a Ponzi scheme or even a flow chart to explain the inner workings of an organized crime family.
Not every member of the media understands investigative work, so sometimes a little explanation goes a long way. What may not be exciting to you can be hugely important to them.
I remember when one of our producers at AMW discovered that Andrew Cunanan, a fugitive serial killer, had pawned gold coins from his Chicago murder victim at a Miami pawn shop. We were allowed to videotape the pawn receipt bearing Cunanan's real name and signature. It also bore the address and room number of the Miami hotel where Cunanan had been staying. That gave us huge credibility with our audience. We got a lot of mileage out of it, and mileage translates into ratings. So, you may not realize that some dog-eared gas receipt, a handwritten diary, a faded parking ticket, a geographic profile or an inventory of everything found in your victim's car can be a gold mine that a journalist can really put to use. It could result in triggering the memory of a previously unknown witness.
Before you're about to pitch, I want you to take a hard look at your case. What are the interesting twists to the crime or the investigation? Who are the interesting characters? Who might give a media interview? What evidence or leads could you release? Is there a reason why you're reigniting the case? Is there something specific the press can help you with? Figure out what you have and what you can share without jeopardizing the case, and then dole it out—sparingly. You may want to give an exclusive to one station or newspaper or perhaps hold a press conference. Competition between news outlets is sometimes a good thing. But you'll have to decide if it's a good thing for your particular case.
Although the benefits to engaging the media in your cold case are obvious and any new lead could be a potential breakthrough, there are some pitfalls you also need to be aware of. Once the story's in the hands of the press, you can't control what they report. Sort of.
If a reporter's doing his job, he'll need you to validate or corroborate what he digs up or comment on what a competitor is reporting. You're the expert on the case. That's your role. If you maintain that role, the press will always come back to you. From that vantage point, you can find ways to accommodate the reporter and still keep the integrity of your case.
Personally, I think working with the media is worth the risk. The more a reporter gets invested in your story, the longer he'll stay with it. While I was at AMW, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to assist police solve four cold case homicides. All those long, lonely hours of hard work paid off. My greatest joy was to hear those three sweet words: "We got him." But it was also the proudest moment of my life knowing that I had truly made a difference in someone else's.
Lastly, I encourage you to think outside the box. This is what investigators do every day. There are alternative means to getting your case in front of the public. You can write a letter to the editor or showcase a cold case every month on your department's website. The latest craze is privately produced Web videos that bypass the media altogether, but often come with high consulting fees. Or take advantage of Law Officer's social media site, LawOfficerConnect.com. There I'll feature a monthly blog that looks at a cold case in hopes of eliciting feedback and assistance from the Law Officer community. Hopefully, we can bring new light to old cold cases.
How Not to Handle the Media
• Don't share a juicy detail and then say that it can't be used.
• Don't try to control the conversation by saying some of what you say is on the record and some isn't. Remember: Everything is on the record. Otherwise, don't say it.
• Don't lie to the media or the public.
• If there's a question you can't answer, do some research or find someone who can answer it.
• If there's something that you can't divulge because it will compromise the integrity of the case, say so. But don't use this as an excuse to be lazy.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here. WHEN does "Piers Morgan Tonight" air internationally? LISTEN and subscribe to our free podcast.
On Wednesday evening, Guest Host Week rolled on for "Piers Morgan Tonight," as advertising executive and television veteran Donny Deutsch pulled up a chair, sharing his unique blend of insight and entertainment.
Filling in for Piers Morgan who is on assignment across the pond, Deutsch sat down with journalist Meredith Vieira, alongside her husband Richard Cohen, and also welcomed actor Michael J. Fox to the program.
Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, Fox has since become a leading activist for research towards finding a cure. During the show, Deutsch aired a video segment from 2006, in which radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh suggested Fox exagerates his symptoms and condition for political and dramatic effect.
While Fox encourages discussion and debate around his message, he does take issue with an attack on his charcter:
"To have it summarily knocked down and marginalized on the basis of personalities, on the basis of he didn't like the way I delivered the message, and so his bullying instincts is to shut down and marginalize that voice, that's another thing altogether."
Later on the program meanwhile, Vieira and Cohen shared with Deutsch an honest and candid perspective on living with multiple sclerosis. A three-time Emmy award-winning CBS News journalist, Cohen was diagnosed with the disease nearly forty years ago, and offers insight into his illness:
"There are no heroes, there are no medals. A good life, a happy life, a successful life, a great family, a career, are their own rewards."
By the time Vieira met Cohen, he'd already been diagnosed. She says his disease never dictated her decisions:
"My attitude was, I cared about this person. You can get hit by a bus tomorrow, nobody knows what's going to happen. I let my emotion guide me, and my heart guide me, and I'll never regret it."
Watch the clips, and listen to the interviews, as Wednesday constituted a one-time only edition of "Donny Deutsch Tonight."
Hello: I watched Mr. Deutsch, Mr Fox last evening. Then unfortunately old Mr. Deutsch injected old news mentioning Mr. Limbaugh and his unfortunate remarks claiming Mr. Fox may be faking s/s of his Parkinson's Disease. It's just another example of the hypocrisy blathered by CNN, MSNBC and similar left wing news media. When I come home from a long day's work in a busy hospital I prefer a non-biased news network and that leaves out CNN. Please report ALL the condescending remarks of women, conservatives by old Bill Maher, Ed Schultz of The Ed Show, Chirs Matthews. What a sad bunch of baffoons you are.
Are you merely reciting the mandra chanted by your gurus at that virtuous news outfit known as Faux News?
Unfortunately, the OLD news is REPEATED, and repeated, and repeated by bigot, RUSH. Do you ACTUALLY ever LISTEN to the words he says. Perhaps you have a hearing problem, and there is definitely a need for you to hear this again. This isn't made up; listen to the UNEDITED stream of vitriol from his MOUTH.
Please let me know what hospital you work at, so I don't accidentally meet up with you. You're right about one thing; your days are far TOO long.
Was so happy to see and listen to Michael J Fox yesterday. Was a long time since I heard anything of him.
Always liked him for his acting work, since the days of Family Ties. And from what I get from the media from him, also as a person. Remarkable work with regards to parkinsons.
By the way, great job yesterday by Donny Deutsch too.
Richard Cohen's comment last night is as follows: "They remind me of sort of the American equivalent of the Taliban. You know, they want to drag women back to a different point in time." This comment is disgusting. He was referring to the Christian convervatives and their view of Planned Parenthood. Can't we agree to disagree without getting nasty. And Donnie or Meredith did nothing to admonish him. I used to respect her - that is changing. Wake up America or your freedom to disagree without insult or lies will disappear.
michael j. fox is such a phony when it comes to medical research. many people may not be aware that fox's brother-in-law is animal rights activist michael pollan who oppeses animal research, a position fox supports. fox accuses republican\s of being extreme but in 1990 fox wrote that he considers the life of an ant to be at the same level as his child's life. yes that's right michael j. fox who accuses republican's of being too extreme has compared his own child to an ant.
Courageous and enlightening i'view. Just touched on the subject of stem-cell research which is the best hope for these genetic, progressive diseases, Parkinsons, MS, Type 1 diabetes. If we hadn't endured an eight yr. hiatus on that research during W.'s yrs as POTUS, I wonder how much further ahead we would be at this point?
actually animal research is the best hope for these diseases. far more vital than stem cell
As a Parkinson's patient for the past 15 years I know that this disease has a mind of its own and symptoms can change from hour to hour. Anyone who cared enough to really understand should spend a day or two with someone afflicted and only then could they be qualified to comment.
Multiple sclerosis symptoms may be single or multiple and may range from mile to severe intensity and short to long in duration. :

Melissa McCarthy was born on August 26, 1970 in Plainfield, Illinois. After working as a stand-up comedian in New York, she moved to Los Angeles, where she became a member of the legendary comedy theatre The Groundlings. She then made her breakthrough as Sookie on Gilmore Girls. In 2011, McCarthy was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actress for her performance in Bridesmaids.
Early Life
Born on August 26, 1970 in Plainfield, Illinois, Melissa Ann McCarthy is the daughter of Sandra and Michael McCarthy, Irish-Catholic farmers. McCarthy graduated from St. Francis Academy (now Joliet Catholic Academy) in Joliet, Illinois, and moved to New York to begin her career as a stand-up comedian. She appeared at famous clubs such as Stand Up New York and The Improv. While in the city, McCarthy trained at The Actor's Studio, performing in various stage productions. In the late 1990s, she moved to Los Angeles.
Commercial Success
In Los Angeles, McCarthy became a member of the legendary improvisation and sketch comedy theatre The Groundlings. A "Groundling" refers to an individual company member who both writes for and performs in the theatre's shows while teaching classes at the company's school. McCarthy spent nine years as a main-stage member, making numerous television and film appearances along the way. From 2000 to 2003, she had supporting roles in films like The Kid, Charlie's Angels, and Go. In 2000, McCarthy landed her breakthrough role on the popular WB show Gilmore Girls playing Sookie St. James, the clumsy chef and best friend of Lorelai Gilmore. The show had a successful run until 2007, at which time McCarthy acted alongside Ryan Reynolds in the psychological thriller The Nines.
From 2007 to 2009, McCarthy played the socially awkward best friend of Christina Applegate in the comedy series Samantha Who? Since 2010, McCarthy has played the fourth-grade teacher Molly on the CBS hit sitcom Mike & Molly, a role for which she received her first Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. In 2011, she starred in the critically acclaimed film Bridesmaids alongside former Groudling Kristen Wiig. McCarthy played Megan, the confident yet awkward sister of the groom, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress as well as a Screen Actor's Guild Award and a Critics' Choice Movie Award.
Since Bridesmaids, McCarthy has landed roles in This Is 40 (2012), billed as a "sort-of sequel" to the film Knocked Up; the film Tammy, which she co-wrote with her husband, actor and writer Ben Falcone; and Identity Thief, starring alongside Jason Bateman. Additionally, McCarthy and Annie Mumolo, another Groundling alumnus who co-wrote Bridesmaids, sold a pitch to Lorne Michaels and John Goldwyn for Paramount Pictures about a group of Midwestern women who set out to steal the Stanley Cup.
Personal Life
McCarthy married her long-time boyfriend, Ben Falcone, who she met at the Groundling Theatre, on October 8, 2005. They had their first daughter, Vivian, on May 5, 2007. McCarthy's pregnancy was written into the last season of Gilmore Girls. Their second daughter, Georgette, was born on March 22, 2010. McCarthy returned to work four months after giving birth to Georgette to begin filming the first season of Mike & Molly.

Before I started at Law Bulletin Publishing Co., I worked at The Times of Northwest Indiana as first a reporter and then as an editor. When I started at The Times I worked as the education reporter. Northwest Indiana is a unique community because the economic disparity is extreme from community to community — poor communities bump up against higher-economic communities. This translates into school districts that vary greatly in terms of resources that operate within miles of each other.
I wrote many stories about this economic disparity and how it affects local education. For one series, I spent a week shadowing students at four different schools in four different economic areas. I learned so much about how an economic situation can lay the foundation for a student's future. For example, at one school, students received laptops to handle in-class assignments. While about 15 minutes away at another school the students couldn't even locate batteries to share a calculator for an assignment that needed the help of scientific calculators. This may not seem like a huge deal, but it acted as one example of how resources can vary and how often a lack of resources impacts learning. Throughout the series the examples continued.
While there was no way of really knowing which students would succeed or whether receiving everyday access to a laptop, for example, really improves education, it did show that education is not uniform for all students. And a lack of uniformity may affect who goes to college and who does not.
We often hear about how lawyers go into classrooms to introduce students to the legal profession. In some cases this means lawyers teach legal seminars in high school classrooms or help start mock trial programs. One group of lawyers took these pipeline and reach-out programs a step further and is in the process of starting a legal-focused charter school in Chicago. The cover story on this initiative talks about how a group of lawyers who work with different pipeline programs comes together to start this school and to create a thus bigger impact on diversity in the legal community. The school opens this fall and time will tell if it works, but it's an interesting concept.
Also on the topic of diversity, reporter Roy Strom wrote about how clients work with law firms to address diversity. Some clients require their firms to put nonwhite and female lawyers on their legal projects, while many law firms partner with their clients to create diversity-based programs.
This month we offer several diversity charts. Our main diversity survey starts on page 26 of the print edition and our survey showing how lawyers breakdown based on age starts on page 48. We also have surveys on law schools, public offices and the courts.
Freelance reporter Robert Loerzel profiled lawyers over the age of 80 who continue to practice law because they love the profession and love how the profession changes and grows.
In this month's "Inspiring Innovators" series, freelance reporter Christine Kraly wrote about fascinating law professor Len Cavise from DePaul University College of Law. He acts as an example of someone passionate about the profession and their job.
I wanted to introduce our readers to our new columnist Theresa Zagnoli who will be writing the "Communication Conundrum" column. As a founding partner and CEO of Zagnoli McEvoy Foley LLC, she has been providing communication solutions to attorneys and business leaders for over a quarter century. She said her singular understanding of the juror and expertise in persuasive communication has made her one of the most sought-after consultants in the nation. Her first column on the art of the apology runs this month.
And in that vein I need to apologize for the magazine not including three firms in our June survey: Chapman and Cutler; Aronberg Goldgehn Davis & Garmisa; and Bryce Downey & Lenkov. Here are the stats that should have appeared in last month's main survey:
Aronberg Goldgehn: Number of lawyers in Illinois, 45. By category — Equity, 20; Income, 3; Associate, 17; First-year associate, 1; Of counsel, 5. Lawyers by geographic region — National, 45; Latin America, Europe/Russia, Middle East, China, Japan and Africa, all 0. Location of home office, Chicago. Total number of offices, 1.
Chapman and Cutler: Number of lawyers in Illinois, 171. By category — Equity, 71; Income, 27; Associate, 59; First-year associate, 10; Of counsel, 10; Staff attorney, 4. Lawyers by geographic region — National, 212; Latin America, Europe/Russia, Middle East, China, Japan and Africa, all 0. Location of home office, Chicago. Total number of offices, 4.
Bryce Downey & Lenkov numbers weren't available at press time.

ÅMÅL, Sweden--(
)--Regulatory News:As authorized by the annual general meeting of shareholders, Opcon's (STO:OPCO) Board has decided to carry out a directed issue of 12,087,454 new shares at a price of SEK 0.59 per share. The shares are issued for GEM Global Yield Fund Ltd.
After the registration of the new shares, the total number of issued shares in Opcon Aktiebolag (publ) will amount to 309,972,730.
During Q2 2011 Opcon AB signed an agreement with GEM Investment Advisers, Inc. and GEM Global Yield Fund Ltd. concerning an equity line financing facility of up to SEK 250 million over 36 months including an advance of SEK 25 million. The agreement was signed to strengthen the company and secure access to capital over time while giving Opcon the opportunity to successively raise capital in return for new shares.
In 2011 Opcon utilised SEK 13.8 million of this facility, which was offset against the advance payment.
As part of the refinancing at Opcon, which includes settlement of expensive interest-bearing liabilities, Opcon is now performing a directed placement of a total of 12,087,454 shares to GEM. The price has been set at SEK 0.59 per share, which will raise SEK 7,131,598 for Opcon before costs. This sum will be set off against the advance payment that GEM has made. The remainder of the advance has been paid by Opcon in cash, which means that the advance received has now been settled.
The shares have been subscribed for and issued to GEM Global Yield Fund Lt.
The company's share capital will increase by SEK 15,109,317.50. Since the subscription price for the issue has been set at an amount below the shares' nominal value, SEK 7,977,719.50 shall be transferred to the company's share capital through a transfer from shareholders' equity.
The Opcon Group Opcon is an energy and environmental technology Group that develops, produces and markets systems and products for eco-friendly, efficient and resource-effective use of energy.
Opcon has activities in Sweden, Germany and the UK. There are around 150 employees. The company's shares are listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm. The Group comprises one business area: Renewable Energy focuses on the following areas: electricity generation based on waste heat, bioenergy-powered heating and CHP plants, pellets plants, drying of biomass, handling systems for biomass, sludge and natural gas, industrial cooling, flue gas condensation, treatment of flue gases and air systems for fuel cells.
Opcon AB (publ) is obliged to disclose the information in this press release in accordance with the Swedish law governing the securities markets and/or trading in financial instruments. The information was submitted for publication at 08.30 (CET) on Wednesday 16 January 2013.
