Greetings all. This thread will give us an opportunity to review the Tigers lineup as we aee it before the world returns to us March 31. We now 9 positions are set(the lineup) and that Leyland wants to carry 10 pitchers. That leaves a 5 man bench: I've chosen Inge, Rayburn, Thames, Santiago and Perez, (if wilson isnt ready.) The key to this season is twofold: Health and Inge. Personally, I believe we should trade him, so that shef will be distraction enough. So, here we go. The 2008 Tigers Player profile... TODAY: CF-CURTIS GRANDERSON The Official Site of The Detroit Tigers: Team: Player Information AS HARD AS IT is to believe, Granderson is baseball's most exciting YET most underated player in baseball. He had a season last year that was only achieved by 4 players EVER! EVER! I said EVER!!!!! So there is no way he can duplicate that year. But i expect HIM to be consistent and clutch. He is the ultimate leadoff hitter and last year made the best paly a Tiger centerfielder has ever made (CLICK ON GRANDERSON PLAY OF 2007). If he hits .300 and cuts down his strikeouts to under 100, there is no way he wont be an MVP candidate again. There is no way, Sizemore is better than our guy. Prediction: AVG: .309 HR: 25 RBI:69 2B: 44 3B: 15 SB: 33
It will be tough to keep Inge happy, but I hope they keep him. He could be a super reserve with his athleticism and versatility. And if I were Inge, I'd stay. Good chance to get a ring here.
TODAY: PLACIDO POLANCO The Official Site of The Detroit Tigers: Team: Player Information LEMME tell yall about this guy. Here's my list of the greatest second basemen I have ever seen: 1. Joe Morgan 2. Ryne Sandberg 3. Lou Whitaker 4. Rod Carew 5. Placido Polanco POLANCO MAY HAVE HAD THE GREATEST YEAR OF ANY 2ND BASEMAN IN THE LAST 34 YRS SINCE mORGAN'S BACK TO BACK mvp SEASONS. (Caps brainlock). The last AL MVP at 2nd base was Nellie Fox in 1959. Polanco had a season last year that was better at .341 avg/200 hits/and 0 lemme repeat ZERO ERRORS at 2nd BASE! Even if they DID count the 1 the scorers took away, that still makes only ONE! Unbelievable. This year in Spring TNG, he's at a robust .500 avg. This is a man's man and this year he WILL get his due. A batting title and a top 3 MVP vote. PREDICTION: AVG: .355 HR: 7 RBI: 70 2B: 45 3B: 5 ERRORS: 2
Someone might come in here and say he doesn't have enough power. Why only 67 RBI ? If you bat .305+ ?
I looked up all the 2nd baseman to play from 1970 til 2000 and no one had a doubleplay-combo in the same uniform streak as trammell/whitaker. if baseball is this 'pure' game it's selling itself to be , then the story of this great longetivity story should be told.
TODAY: GARY SHEFFIELD- DH The Official Site of The Detroit Tigers: Stats: Individual Player Stats Still one of th most dangerous hitters in the AL. A lightning quick bat with a keen eye, Gary is the Big Poppi of this lineup. His production is the key to strong starts neccesary by Ordonez and Cabrera. Although, age has creeped up on his little nagging injuries, Shef will be alright if he is limited to DH duties. People also seem to forget his intense leadership as he had 22 stolen bases, his highest since 1990 when he was with Milwaukee. I could GO either way on what could be considered a good season for Sheff. But the key stat to me will be OBP. The more he gets on base, the more AB's for O and Cabrera. PREDICTION; AVG: .281 HR: 31 RBI: 91 OBP: .375 2B: 36 SB: 15
Wow. If he has that good a season, Tigers fans will be very impressed. He's almost as big a question mark this season as the bullpen. I wonder if his shoulder will hold up. He's having leg cramps right now I think.
Hopefully we won't need to depend on him too much. Last year when he died the team died too. We killed teams for 3 mo last year.
Need pitchers to step up this year. Key member is Bonderman. He needs 17 wins to finally have that breakthrough year, and to play to his potential. Next most important pitcher is Zumaya. Gotta stay healthy, and near the strike zone.......Our hitters will be fine.
It was weird last year, we had the best offense [on paper] but after Sheff went down no one could get a clutch hit. And Bondo just went in the tank and fumed.
RF- MAGGLIO ORDONEZ The Official Site of The Detroit Tigers: Team: Player Information Let me just say right now...Maggs , i owe you a nice butt kiss. For two years, i did nothing but talk about how this was the worst clutch hitter in AL history. Then ,,..bottom of the 9th vs oakland A's in 2006 AlCS..3-3 tie..2 men on...POW!! .the 2nd most beautiful home run that I ever seen (Kirk vs Padres and Goose ind 84 is so Number 1 it aint funny)Ever since..he's won a batting title(.363) hit in the clutch(.429 with RISP) hit 54 doubles and was predicted by the sporting news to be 2008's MVP. Maggs has gained the same charisma and city ownership that Chauncey recieved after his 2004 MVP finals. HE is now Mr tiger and I think he will have a better season in 2008 than last year eevn with lower numbers. also, as bad a outfielder as he was last year he did only make 1 error. I luvs u maggs. PREDICTION: AVG: . 339 HR: 33 RBI : 122 2B: 45 obp: .400
My mother outlaw Loves Maggs hair. This is her newest favorite Tiger. She's been following since long before Harwell. She'll be 89 this season.
ok...worked 3 days overtime this weekend . Time to catch up..... TODAY: MIGUEL CABRERA, CARLOS GUILLEN , EDGAR RENTERIA CABRERA: The Official Site of The Detroit Tigers: Team: Player Information The guy most responsible for me having a 'week' of great sex in December. This kid is one of the 5 'cant miss' hall of famers under 25 in baseball. And we have 2 of them now (with Verlander). He's about the size of Albert Belle for those of you who havent seen him close. If we keep him healthy (eating wise) he will be a MVP candidate the next two years. The great thing about him is that he has a great attitude and he does NOT have to be a key to this team. Defense will be shaky, but do you care about a guy with 20 errors if he hits 40 homers? i don't.... PREDICTION: AVG: .331 HR: 40 RBI: 118( only because Shef and maggs will stEAl some of his thunder...lots of solo shots) 2B: 44 3B: 5 GUILLEN; The Official Site of The Detroit Tigers: Team: Player Information TO ME, this is the new Al Kaline of this team. He graciuosly moves over to the first base recognizing a need for stability and neccesity to better himself and his team. He has the smoothest swing in the AL since George Brett and is also primed for his best year ever just because pitchers will be worn out by the time you get to him. Baseball is a very mentally tough game and I cant see more than 6 pitchers in the AL 'tough' enough to deal with this lineup for 9 innings. I'm not sure about his D at 1st though. We'll see. But its like the Ol UNLV Rebels. Lets just get back to the plate. PREDICTION: AVG: .316 HR: 25 RBI: 97 2B: 36 3B:8 RENTERIA: The Official Site of The Detroit Tigers: Team: Player Information AND I WAS giddy when we got THIS guy B4 Cabrera/Willis got here. If anything it gave the pitching confidence knowing a goldglove winner would team would Polanco to form baseball's best DP combo sans Utley/Rollins in Philly. Edgar is another Leyland guy and will give us a solid 140 games and some break ins at DH, 3b and LF. If he and Polanco play 140 games together, Tigers will go 90-50 in those games EASY! OH, BTW...last year, EdRen hit .3freekin32!!! PREDICTION: AVG: .303 HR: 11 RBI: 75 2B:31 3B: 5 SB:9

Dire Needs Part 2
In one of my previous blog entries, I mentioned that at the September 24 New Berlin School Board Meeting, Dr. Kreutzer's administration presented a bunch of facility projects, which it described as "dire" facility needs, "important" and "immediate" ---but which had not been budgeted for. That blog piece focused on one of those needs--Orchard Lane Elementary School asphalt problems, a safety issue.
The list of dire needs identified at that September board meeting included: Orchard Lane asphalt, Eisenhower roof, Eisenhower IMC carpet, New Berlin office areas, Reagan Elementary locks, water heater at Glen Park Elementary and Glen Park security.
WeCare-New Berlin vindicated; DA dismisses Blonien's complaint
WeCare- New Berlin President Ray McInerny, Sr. was right when he said two months ago that an investigation from the Waukesha County District Attorney's Office will prove the information in his group's flier was correct. (WeCare election fliers under investigation, April 10 New BerlinNOW).
NB West Evacuation
During Monday evening's (June 9) New Berlin School Board Meeting, Superintendent Paul Kreutzer announced that New Berlin West MS/HS had been evacuated that afternoon about l pm. He said We Energies and the Fire Department had been on the scene.
Flood Cleanup and Health
Wisconsin, already reeling from all the rain we've gotten recently, has more rain forecast for this week.
Basement or other rooms flooded? There are several sources of information about flooding cleanup available via the internet.
Congratulations & Announcement
Congratulations to:
Eisenhower's Softball team--the Division 2 State Softball Champions. The team was recognized at Monday's School Board meeting. Coach Jeff Setz gave a speech thanking the girls and touting their efforts and accomplishments. He called them champions both on and off the field. A wonderful tribute, indeed.
Flag Day, Flag Week, And The Pledge Of Allegiance
In 1916 President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation establishing a national Flag Day on June 14. Since then, Americans have commemorated the adoption of the Stars and Stripes by celebrating June 14 as Flag Day. (Prior to 1916, some states and localities had been celebrating the day for years)
Happy Father's Day/ Information
Father's Day, a day to honor fathers and celebrate fatherhood, is traditionally held on the third Sunday in June.
Why Newspapers Lose Readers
People don't need to buy a paper to get information. Nowadays, many individuals rely on their computer, TV, radio, friends and neighbors for information about what is happening in their communities.
"Public Enemies"/Sen. Lazich
No, this is not about the Johnny Depp "Public Enemies" movie that's been filmed in Wisconsin recently.
It is about legislator rankings.
Critics' Arguments Against Deer Creek Inn/Water Park Don't Hold Water
Conservative Journal Sentinel editorial columnist/blogger Patrick Mcllheran has spoken up on behalf of the Deer Creek Inn project and against its critics. In his article "Water parks and fairy tales" published in early June, Mcllheran refutes the arguments of a Milwaukee alderman and other opponents of the hotel/indoor water park planned for New Berlin.
Summerfest Rocks!
Anyone who thinks Summerfest is just for kids is mistaken. It attracts people of all different ages. I saw many folks in my age bracket (mid-fifties) or older at Summerfest yesterday.

Grand Theft Auto IV PlayStation 3

Av. User Rating
Released on 29/04/2008
In 1997 Scottish games developer DMA Design released the first Grand Theft Auto on PC and PlayStation. A top-down, free-roaming crime-'em up, GTA gained controversy and acclaim in equal amounts for its violent gangster gameplay, car-jacking focus and superbly risqué soundtrack.
A decade later, the now renamed Rockstar Games is responsible for changing the face of gaming. PS2 Grand Theft Auto III gave gamers a fully 3D playground in which to explore, play, and affect utter mayhem, and each new GTA on PS2, Xbox and PSP has upped the size, scale, style and sheer attitude, cementing the series as one of the iconic gaming brands of its time.
And now you can experience it all again in Grand Theft Auto IV.
What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Grand Theft Auto IV's Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity.
As they slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by Grand Theft Auto IV's series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream in a city that worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don't.
Welcome back to Liberty City. Welcome to Grand Theft Auto IV .
Grand Theft-Anory
Allow me to tell you a short story. It won't take long, I promise.
I got home late last night. Something needed doing, and lucky me, I got the call. But hey, I got a solid six hours kip so I can't really complain. It was also a beautiful morning, which helped. It's nice to wake up on a day like this and know that you don't have anything pressing to do for a change. I took a walk down the street, picked up a breakfast hotdog on the way and pondered what to do with the rest of my day. One phone call later and Michelle had somewhat reluctantly agreed to go out with me again, and I was to pick her up in an hour.
Right, so now I know what I'm doing with my hard earned time off. Next question. What to wear? Last time we went out she didn't like my suit and pointed out that my polished black loafers looked stupid. I go casual. I get back into the car I left parked outside last night and head on up to her apartment to pick her up.
She says I look good, and that she particularly likes my glasses. Result, all going well so far. She leaves our destination up to me, so I pick that dingy Irish bar I'd spotted the other day. A couple of drinks to see loosen up a little, and see where we go from there.
She says I look good, and that she particularly likes my glasses. Result, all going well so far.
An hour or two later, we leave the bar. I'm supremely tanked. Completely steaming. Absolutely clockfaced. Michelle's moaning at me that it's probably not a good idea for me to drive and that we should get a taxi back to her place. Screw you, woman, I'm fine to drive.
This is where it all goes a little wonky. I remember accidentally shooting her in the knees a couple of times. Then I think she stumbled a little bit…maybe into the road? Yeah, definitely into the road. That explains how she got hit by that SUV. And then that sedan coming the other way.
That's when she told me that she didn't want to see me again for a while. Bugger.
A long, lonely taxi ride home on my own, then. What a way to end a day, eh? As I get in the opening licks of 1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins come on the radio. My driver tells me he'll take the long way round, but I don't really care. I settle back into my seat. I've got all the time in the world, pal.
The sky suddenly grows cloudy, the light fading rapidly. A rumble of thunder announces the downpour and the people unlucky enough to be caught outside run for cover.
Corgan's still on the radio. I take another look out of my window. The city looks beautiful in the rain.
Corgan's still on the radio. I take another look out of my window. The city looks beautiful in the rain.
I smile, I sigh. What a way to end a day. Perfect.
And then there's me, the real me this time, sat on my sofa with my feet up sipping a chilled beverage, smiling. I've had a "moment".
You could apply the usual metrics of quality, but then you'd be missing something. See, the story is superb, the characters are superb, the graphics are superb, the sound is superb, and the "gameplay" (in the traditional sense) is superb. But this is a Grand Theft Auto game, those should be givens.
Sure, the huge open world and the freedom to do almost anything is a given as well, but we've never had the amount of depth that we do here. It's simply staggering. And as deep as the world is, you're eased into it with a care and a delicacy which ensures that you're never overwhelmed, yet by the same token never left champing at the bit. It's masterfully done, it really is.
Packed with such moments, with stories, with humanity, random minutia, unique experiences and unexpected results, GTA IV is so much more than your standard, run of the mill game. Forget the mass-media coverage that cheapens the experience with yawnsome stories of extreme violence (there are far more violent games out there if that's what you want) and concentrate on what GTA IV is - an epic, lovingly crafted, cheekily-humorous and satirical take on crime-fiction which will keep you entertained for months.
Review by: Iain Thomas
Version Tested: X360
Review Published: 02.05.08Published: 02/05/2008
With Duke Nukem Forever finally getting a 6th May release date, it's only fitting that another long-awaited game should be touching down around the same time. A leaked trailer for the amazing LA Noire has suggested Rockstar's latest will be showing up in stores around 17th May.
According to Eurogamer, it's not clear at the moment whether this date refers to a global launch or is purely when Americans can expect to play the game. Either way, it's hard to see a European launch tagging a long too far behind it.
LA Noire was first unveiled way back in 2005, so we've waited long enough to get our hands on this intriguing game. Set in the 1940s, Rockstar's game sees you signing up with the Los Angeles Police Department and tackling crimes, via shooting and racing around in cars, of course, but also through interrogating suspects - a system that depends upon the game's amazing motion-capture that records every nuance of an actor's performance and processes it into the game.
With a huge script and a brilliant setting, this should be just the ticket for anyone who's finished Red Dead Redemption and is itching for a bit more Rockstar brilliance. LA Noire will be available for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
From GTA to Red Dead Redemption and now L.A. Noire, super-publisher Rockstar has specialised in games so cinematic that they should come with popcorn. Now it seems that the company might be eyeing a future on the big screen.
Details have surfaced that the company has registered a trademark for a spin-off called Rockstar Films, and also owns two internet domains under the same title.
The Rockstar Films trademark covers re-recorded video discs and other pre-recorded digital and electronic media in the field of live action programs, motion pictures, or animation featuring entertainment, namely, action, adventure, dramatic, comedic, children's and documentary themes./p>
It has long been suggested that the publisher would make a move into movies, but in 2008 Rockstar quashed rumours that it was preparing a Grand Theft Auto movie. However, the publisher has dabbled in Hollywood, hiring director John Hillcoat (The Road) to put together a short film called The Man from Blackwater using footage from Red Dead Redemption.

Yes, today being the day to pay my phone bill (paid on-line "forever" now) and, the same day, GiveawayOfTheDay having one of those "we'll keep track of your password" programs, it got me to wondering ~~ while looking again for the paper on which I've written the most obscure passwords ever made up [which, of course, I'm not going to remember].
Just haven't dared trust something like this ... yet, hoping that no one can figure out my passwords for the $$ place where I pay a bill [have peeked @ my checking acct on-line, too], I've made some passwords I know I'll never remember, their so weird.
Does anyone use/trust these sorts of things ... in case, for instance, some browsing software [spyware?] picks up a file from your computer and it happens to be one related to PW's & $$$ sites?
Wanting to have a place where they can be remembered, yet not knowing if I dare trust such a place/file to keep them safe for me, yet ... ??

QUIZ: Which 2 Businesses Have Sold Winning Lottery Tickets?
Tell us in the comments section below.
Two Timonium businesses have sold winning lotto tickets in the last two years.
Can you guess which ones? Tell us if you think you know the answer the comments section below.
The prizes weren't jackpots, but rather multi-thousand-dollar secondary winnings. Still, nothing to sneeze at, right?
If you're only interested in the millions, however, the Powerball grand prize has swelled to a tremendous $500 million and the drawing is tomorrow.
Are you playing? What are you doing to do if you win the grand prize?
There have been two Powerball jackpot-winning-tickets purchased in Maryland since the game came to the state in January 2010, according to Maryland Lottery spokeswoman Erica Palmisano.
An anonymous couple from Pennsylvania won $128 million in December 2011. The ticket was purchased in Elkton, MD. The other winning ticket was purchased in Abingdon, MD by an anonymous couple in September 2011. They won $108.8 million.

Rich Products UBR Redefines School Breakfast Segment
Research has shown that children who eat good breakfasts are more alert in class and are better able to learn. To that end, Buffalo, N.Y.-based Rich Products Corp. introduces the Ultimate Breakfast Round -- or the UBR -- a chewy, delicious, and nutritious breakfast disguised as a tasty treat. It's the ideal menu addition for schools that want to offer nutritional meals, boost participation in their breakfast programs and meet USDA national meal guidelines.The UBR (pronounced "oooooh-ber") is freshly baked and made from 100% whole-grain oatmeal, wheat bran, and wheat germ. Each 2.5-oz UBR contains 6g of fiber, 4g of protein, 2 servings of bread, 270 calories, and zero trans fat. It supplies 65 percent of a child's required daily allowance for whole grains, a significant portion of fiber and the same amount of protein as four chewy granola bars, and comes in two varieties -- Razzberry Dazzle, a combination of raspberry and lemon flavor, and Cinnamon.It is available in both a 2.5-oz. and 1.5-oz. offering.
"We're pleased that our product not only tastes great and is fun to eat, but has outstanding health benefits as well. " says Gary Duszynski, director of foodservice bakery marketing.
School Foodservice Directors appreciate the freezer to oven convenience of the UBR - no thawing or proofing needed. Its handy grab-and-go sleeve makes it suitable for serving on the main line, at a kiosk, or even in the classrooms or on buses. It fits within the USDA's 30-10-30 guidelines for school meals, which means it contains 30 percent or less calories from total fat, 10 percent or less calories from saturated fat, and less than 30 percent sugar by item weight.
"Parents and schools have a real challenge these days," adds Dr. Shirley J. Brown, Ed. D., SNS, director, national training. "Kids are always on the go and they love to socialize, so they seldom take time to eat healthy breakfasts. The UBR is the perfect solution. It's easy to eat on the run, it's delicious, and it's nutritious. Breakfast just got a little more fun and a lot more convenient. Now everybody has time to eat a healthy breakfast."
Schools that add the UBR to their menus often see a jump in their breakfast program participation. "We're glad to have a simple breakfast option for our students that meets our nutritional requirements, especially for fiber and bread servings," says Susan Birmingham, foodservice director for Frontier Central Schools in Western New York. "The UBR meets the criteria of the New York State Governor's new "Healthy Kids, Healthy New York After-School Initiative" to help fight childhood obesity … The biggest plus is that it tastes great!"

When those moments of life become overwhelming and your answers are few and at times not there, there is a place of peace and calm for you. Be advised — this place you will have to seek for yourself. It comes at the right place and time, for some "this place" is easy to reach, as they know that it is without a doubt obtainable. While others struggle to reach this peace and calm because of the inner struggles, because of strong hurts and unbelievable rejections. I can faithfully tell you that you can make it. I am not an orator with fancy words. I am a living testimony; I never could have made it, had I not reached this place.
The place I speak of is the presence of King Jesus. Yes, that's it. When the world is on fire and I know there is a soothing balm, as I go before His presence. I can hear the song "Take Me to the King" by gospel recording artist Tamela Mann resonating inside of me:
I don't have much to bring
My heart is torn in pieces
It's my offering
Take Me to the King
Truth is I'm tired
Options are few
I'm trying to pray
But where are you?
I'm all churched out
Hurt and abused
I can't fake
What's left to do?
Truth is I'm weak
No strength to fight
No tears to cry
Even if I tried
But still my soul
Refuses to die
One touch-will change-my life
Take Me to the King
I don't have much to bring
My heart's torn into pieces
It's my offering.
That song serves as a strong source of encouragement, reminding that you are a survivor. You don't truly know who you are until you survived a bad experience. When you are in survival mode, the leading emotion is to live, defying both your fears and inhibitions. See, when you are in survivor's mode, you have to raise above all the norms, baby. Ha! That's a praise right there. I said that's praise. You have got to get by the restrictions you placed on yourself. A drowning man can't afford to panic if he wants to live. Look at y'all looking at me. Don't you panic when the waves of depression try to take you over.
Take Me to the King
I don't have much to bring
My heart is torn in pieces
It's my offering
Take Me to the King
Do not panic, when the money is looking funny. Do not panic, when the bills are due. These words for some may be easier said than done. Keep the faith, as the days pass, you will gain strength and birth forth strong testimonies of victories. But only if you continue to hold on to your faith. A praise and worshiper knows when they need to execute a defensive and offensive stance. When the storm comes, they know what to do! What are you going to do? Go ahead and praise God in advance. Why? I said it before and I am saying it again — In the strong words of Pastor Rosa Meredith "testimonies are coming your way!" Don't give up.

Helmholtz Centre Potsdam
GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences Abstract (EDOC: 6125)In 1998–1999, a large-scale seismic array was deployed in Finland as a part of the EUROPROBE/SVEKALAPKO subproject, involving 14 European universities and research institutes. The objective of the project was to map the deep lithosphere structure and thickness beneath the Fennoscandian Shield by means of teleseismic events. In addition, about 580 local seismic events were registered during the data acquisition period. Among them, only eight local earthquakes were recorded, the rest being quarry blasts from mining sites in Russia, Finland, Estonia and Sweden. In this study, we present the analysis of the seismic wave field from the strongest local events registered by the majority of the stations of the SVEcofennian–KArelian–LAPland–KOla Transect (SVEKALAPKO) array with the aim of mapping the structure of the upper mantle beneath the array. For this purpose, we selected the events corresponding to a single source type and compared these recordings with those from wide-angle reflection and refraction experiments in the area to identify the regional phases. The record sections of selected events demonstrate strong reflections (PmP) from the Moho boundary. The refracted Pn phases can be seen as first arrivals at distances of about 200–400 km from the source. At offsets of about 400–800 km, phases reflected from inhomogeneities in the uppermost mantle (P1) and double reflections from the Moho boundary (PmPPmP) were recorded.
Results from 2D forward ray trace modeling of reflected and refracted P-waves along four profile swathes from SVEKALAPKO stations demonstrate that the mantle reflections originate from two different groups of boundaries beneath the array: one group of phases arrive from subhorizontal and gently dipping reflectors below the Moho boundary at a depth of 70–90 km, while the other group are phases originating from a depth of 100 to 130 km. Based on the irregular character of the first group of reflections, their different spatial orientation and correlation with the Moho offsets, we interpret the boundaries of this group as relicts of ancient subduction and collision processes. The second group of reflections can be explained by a transition from mechanically strong to mechanically weak lithosphere.

President Barack Obama, accompanied by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaks during the Transfer of Remains Ceremony, Friday, Sept. 14, 2012, at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., marking the return to the United States of the remains of the four Americans killed this week in Benghazi, Libya. Obama said in a Rose Garden statement after the attack that those responsible would be brought to justice. That may not be swift. Building a clearer picture of what happened will take more time, and possibly more people, U.S. officials said Friday. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
In this undated photo provided by NBC 4 New York, David Albert Mitchell, is shown. New York City Police arrested Mitchell Thursday, Sept. 13, 2012 on charges that he brutally raped a 73-year-old woman in New Yorks Central Park on Wednesday, Sept. 12. The woman was found by a bird watcher who found badly beaten near the section of the park known as Strawberry Fields, which was dedicated to the memory of slain Beatle John Lennon.

This image taken from surveillance video and provided by the New York City Police Department on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012, shows a man believed to have mugged and sexually assaulted a 73 year old woman in New Yorks Central Park. The woman was attacked about 11 a.m. while bird watching near the park's tranquil Strawberry Fields that serves as a memorial to John Lennon. (AP Photo/New York Police Department)
The man accused of raping an elderly woman in New York's Central Park frightened people for years in his tiny West Virginia hometown, where a neighbor says residents were so terrified after his release from prison last year they bought guns to protect themselves.
Authorities say David Albert Mitchell has been in and out of prison since he was 18. He was arrested twice on charges of raping elderly women, suspected but not charged in the slaying of one female neighbor and acquitted of killing another. Court records and prosecutors describe a man who drank heavily, was quick to threaten violence, never earned a high school diploma and may have been mentally ill.
Mitchell, 42, served eight years in a Virginia prison for the 2003 abduction of an ex-girlfriend and got out last year. Records show he violated probation three times, then apparently fled to New York, where police say he attacked a 73-year-old birdwatcher in Central Park near a memorial to peace-loving John Lennon.
Back in Jenkinjones, a hard-luck coalfields town of fewer than 300, a man well-acquainted with both Mitchell and some of his alleged victims said it's best if New York locks him up for good. He said when word spread of Mitchell's release from prison last year, people started buying guns to protect themselves because he had terrorized people in the town and preyed on elderly women for years.
"They ain't gonna trust him down here again. They're gonna end up killing him," said 45-year-old Wayne Mitchell, no relation to the suspect. "To be honest with you, he needs to be put away for life."
Jenkinjones is an isolated, unincorporated town in McDowell County, an economically desperate part of the struggling West Virginia coalfields. More than a third of the population lives in poverty, with median incomes less than half the U.S. average.
People have been fleeing McDowell for decades as the once-thriving coal industry died, and the population plummeted nearly 19 percent in the past decade. Drug abuse is rampant, schools and students are struggling, and it's historically been ranked among the nation's unhealthiest counties.
It's also just miles from the Virginia line, a location that helped Mitchell build a criminal resume in both states.
His first felony arrest was in 1989, when he was accused of killing 86-year-old Annie Parks of Jenkinjones.
Although Mitchell was acquitted in that case, he was arrested again a few months later, charged with raping another Jenkinjones resident who was in her 70s and stealing her gun.
Prosecutors dropped the sexual assault charge in that case under a plea bargain, Sid Bell, then Mitchell's attorney and now the county prosecutor, told The Charleston Gazette.
Mitchell escaped for two days while serving that sentence, West Virginia Division of Corrections spokeswoman Susan Harding said, and was then convicted of the escape.
He was released from the Mount Olive Correctional Center in February 2000, Harding said, but incarcerated again in December 2000 on a grand larceny charge. He finished that sentence in 2001.
About a year later, 54-year-old Barbara Flake went missing from Jenkinjones, and some suspected Mitchell. When Flake's skull turned up two years later, ex-girlfriend Saretta Mitchell went to police with a shocking claim: David Mitchell had confessed to the killing.
"In a social setting, when there's alcohol involved, he will tell you anything," she told The Associated Press. "He bragged to me and some of our friends at different times that he had murdered two people."
Saretta Mitchell declined to elaborate on her relationship with the rape suspect, saying she fears for her safety and that of her children.
State Police Sgt. C.F. Kane said investigators considered David Mitchell a person of interest in Flake's death, but they lacked evidence to charge him. They reached out to authorities in New York on Friday to find out if Mitchell has said anything about the 2002 slaying.
Wayne Mitchell said Flake was a sweet, generous woman who cleaned houses for a living and never bothered anyone.
"If you asked her for $5, she'd give you $10 — if she had $10," he said. "She was just like your own mother."
About a year after Flake disappeared, David Mitchell was charged in Virginia with kidnapping his ex-girlfriend. The indictment says he stole a vehicle and used it to abduct Saretta Mitchell, and that he drove drunk while evading police.
"It was a scary incident," said Tazewell County Prosecutor Dennis H. Lee, "and thank God he was stopped before doing whatever he intended to do with her."
Although he'd been arrested many times in Virginia, the abduction was the case that sent him to prison for the first time there. He served eight years at Red Onion State Prison, a maximum-security facility reserved for the worst of the worst offenders.
When he got out, he was placed in a halfway house in suburban Richmond and initially met the conditions required of him, according to a probation report filed in Tazewell County Circuit Court.
Mitchell worked with a tutor and was trying to obtain his GED. He was passing random drug-screening tests. Lee said some records that haven't been made public indicate Mitchell may have schizophrenia.
But a month into the halfway house stay, Mitchell claimed he was robbed of $125 while working a construction job, "became very irate and threatened to kill everyone," the probation report said.
Mitchell agreed to a psychological evaluation but was thrown out of the halfway house over fears about his mental state.
He went back to prison for probation violations last October but failed to report to his probation officer when he was once again released.
"He just dropped off the grid," Lee said.
Authorities believed he might have been living in a tent in West Virginia. Then came word of the rape in Central Park.
Police there say he raped a birdwatcher who told police that she had taken a photo of Mitchell fondling himself days before the attack. She said Mitchell tried to take the camera away from her and demanded she delete the image. Then, on Wednesday, he attacked her in a wooded area near the busy Strawberry Fields section of Central Park, she told investigators.
He was also charged with threatening a man with a knife last month in the same area of the park.
He told the man, according to investigators: "I have no problem stabbing you as many times as I want and making this circle full of blood."
Mitchell was arraigned Friday on charges of first-degree rape, robbery, assault and other charges, and ordered held without bail. A call to his attorney at arraignment was not returned. Mitchell said nothing as he was led from the special victims unit to face charges in court Friday, but he spat at reporters gathered there.
Saretta Mitchell said she's not surprised by the latest accusation, but neither she nor his brothers want to talk about Mitchell.
"We want something to be done so he doesn't hurt anyone else," she said, "but he's done enough damage to the family already."
Smith reported from Morgantown, W.Va. Szkotak reported from Richmond, Va. Associated Press writers Colleen Long, Tom Hays and Kiley Armstrong in New York contributed to this report.

one 'n only Colorfix
NicoleHairBlackNormal HairVery SatisfiedI read page after page of reviews and I decided to finally try this and I'm happy I did :) I've been coloring it black for 2 years. The way the pigments are in my hair I wasn't sure how this product would treat my hair. I used it on Saturday Feb 5th and It came out a redish brown I surprisingly liked it however I am going for more of a chocolate brown I just needed to get out the black.So on to the smell....its not make you fall over bad,but there is definitely a strong odor, roommates told me smelled like bad eggs being cooked lol I was confined to my room with the window open but it was tolerable. Box said to leave on for up to 20 mins but I checked my hair at 20 mins and it hadnt changed a whole lot. I left it in for 1 hour and used the blow dryer to heat every other 5 mins. When I washed it out my hair did feel a little straw like but i added some leave in conditioner and styled it and was happy. By the way I did not use step 3,I read alot of reviews and decided not to use it. The day after I did my hair I woke up and it looked a little mellow not so much red in it but still smelled.Day 2 I woke up today and my hair looked a little more dark,more natural however my roots are still pretty light.I use dry shampoo and I go 2 days without washing my hair. today the smell is gone.Atleast I cant smell it.. I plan on going and getting an all over color tomorrow to get the brown I want. I'd have to say I'm impressed with this and I recommend it. Everyone's hair is different but I think you should take the chance and see what it could do for you. I've always had difficult hair and this came out better than I expected. The before picture is just my black hair and then right after I finished doing my hair that night and the the other after is todays picture that I took of my hair darkening up(not sure why the pic looks sharp but its a normal brown).I really hope my review and pictures help out a few people :)posted Feb 8, 2011Link to this post
AnonHairBlackChemically Treated HairA Query Into Allegiating The Products SmellI am considering using this product and have read pages of reviews, in regard to the horrid everlasting smell, has anyone attemped the old fashioned tomato juice remedy for alleviating the smell (I mean rinsing the hair with tomato juice) and if so was there any joy in the result or effect to the colour?posted Feb 5, 2011Link to this post
Laura H.Miami, FLHairBlackColor Treated HairIt Works, But ......I've been dyeing my hair black for about 3 years now and decided that I needed change. The only possible way to get rid of the black is to either bleach/strip your hair or grow it out. I didn't want to bleach it because I've had really bad experiences with bleach. I researched a little just in case there was something that would help in lightening my hair without causeing too much damage. I came across Colorfix and after reading reveiws I decided to go ahead and give it a try. The product worked wonders! It lightened my jet black hair to a redish brown (without applying Step 3). I did my research on Step 3 and found that Step 3 is actually very useful. Step 1 and 2 reduce the molecules of the permanent dye and the processing lotion (Step 3) re-oxidizes any dye left over on your hair. If there is any dye left over it will redarken. That is why Step 3 is important. It's to check how well the product worked. After finding out this information I repeated Colorfix about 4 more times (it didn't damage my hair at all, it actually left it very soft and in the same condition it was in before I did anything), which left my hair a very bright orange. Thinking enough dye has been removed I added the color I wanted to my hair (a very light auburn red), my roots turned out bright red and the rest of my hair a VERY dark red. I don't think this product is worth it if you have dark brown - black hair, or if you're going to dye it after. Goodluck all! =)posted Feb 4, 2011Link to this post
StephanieNYHairBlackColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairAmazing! Unreal How Well This Worked!Highly recommend! I don't ever write reviews,but Iv been dying my hair black for 4yrs and this in 20 min brough my hair to a light copper brown I even like the color LOL!posted Jan 23, 2011Link to this post
Melanie R.USAHairBlackNormal HairI Love It But...My hair was black for a few years now and I recently dyed it again the day before new years so my roots wouldn't show when bringing in 2011. I Picked up the box today and did what it said, mixed 1 and 2 together in a bottle and applied it throughout my roots and hair. it worked! thinking I HAD to use step 3 I did ... and that was a horrible mistake I made! It made my hair black again! not sure how but it did, to test it i applied the brown dye (normal dye i picked up) and nothing changed but my roots! :( step 3 is suppose to help fix your hair or prevent it from damage but DO NOT USE IT! If your going to test the waters and try it anyways then your going to have to go pick up another box as well. This product is amazing but I do hope they take step 3 out of all packages from now on! So If your reading this and are asking yourself if you should apply step 3, just don't!! its liquid like water and is going to defeat the whole purpose of buying the box.posted Jan 17, 2011Link to this post
Melanie V.United StatesHairBlackNormal HairLove It!I've been dying my hair black for a few years now and less then a week ago dyed it again because my roots looked awful but i didn't know about the one 'n only color fix until today. Now it really smells bad, as if someone died but other than that it worked perfectly... up until i used step 3! my hair looks black again expect my roots.. now im not sure if it is black or just dark brown but I really do not want to go through this process all over again! I recommended it but throw away step 3. It is NOT needed.posted Jan 16, 2011Link to this post
NekoHairBlackCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairThrow Out The Damn Step 3I had blue and black hair. I tried L'oreal Colorzap and it did NOTHING, so I tried Colorfix. I've tried to bleach the black before, and nothing had happened. Colorfix is AMAZING. The blue turned blond and the black turned brown. DO NOT use the third step. My hair turned light ugly green and the brown got darker.posted Jan 9, 2011Link to this post
Gini Y.CaliforniaHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairWorks Surprisingly Well!Naturally, my hair is a dark blonde with lighter highlights, but when I was in college, I went a little (OK, more than a little) crazy with hair dye. I liked the way my hair looked bleached, but it was killing my hair and the pain of constantly rebleaching my roots was getting too annoying.
After getting sick of re-bleaching my roots, I went dark brown. That faded so quickly to a bright red that I opted to go black in the hopes that it would fade to a dark-brown. Unfortunately, the black dye was quite resilient. Then I was stuck re-dying the roots black. No fun.
I was definitely skeptical about Color Fix, but it does work very well. The hardest part was my formerly bleached, currently black locks (especially the ends) didn't want to give the black up as easily as my roots (which did indeed turn back to a nice, natural shade of blonde)... I used the second half of the mixture on the parts of my hair that remained darker than the rest of my hair. Fingers crossed, it'll do the trick and I'll have a head of hair that is uniformly auburn.posted Jan 6, 2011Link to this post -
CoriHairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairHow To Remove One N Only Colorfix Odor Asap!Throw out step 3 bottle! I used Colorfix to remove a permament dark brown red dye. I read all of the reviews on this site, and decided I would give it a try. I had bleached the color out of my hair a few years ago and it ended up breaking off so I vowed I would never do that again. I am a natural blonde, but I like the drama the darker color gives me. Now that I'm 39 and going a little gray at the roots it's to much maintanence, I figured blonde will be easier to blend, but I didn't want to wait for it to grow out. I highly recommend you buy the widest color applicator brush you can to apply the colorfix. I was going to use a applicator bottle, but the mix is very thick and it doesn't mix well in the bottle.Also, make sure you have a tight fitting plastic cap. I mixed 2 oz each of bottles 1 & 2, and slavered it on. I put on this plastic cap I found at Sally's that shrinks up tight when you apply heat and I used the blow dryer every few minutes to keep my head warm. It does have an odor, sulpher, but I can tell you how to remove it pretty quick. I kept it on for 30 minutes. I rinsed for almost 5 minutes, then put Dawn dishwashing liquid in like shampoo and let it sit a few minutes, then I rinsed and repeated twice more. Then I put in a clear neutralizer (Sally's $2), and put on a plastic cap and let it sit for 20 minutes. DON"T RINSE OUT THE NEUTRALIZER! Apply a permanant color that is 2 shades lighter than what you want, make sure that it has a violet base, this will take out any orange. Put the color on like you normally would and leave it for about 10 or 15 minutes. Rinse, shampoo and put on a conditioning treatment. Voila! My hair turned out nice,it's a darker blonde than I would have liked, but I am giving my hair a break for a month and then repeating this whole ordeal again. I am going to use a high lift blonde afterwards with a 30 volume developer and see if I can get it lighter. I personally think that if you do this and you are a natural blonde you have to dye it again to get rid of the orange. Also buy a shampoo for color treated hair and Aphogee 2 Minute Miracle conditioner and use it every time you wash. I also bought a leave in conditioner I use everyday for anti-breakage and my hair feels wonderful!posted Dec 30, 2010Link to this post
KaleyHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairWorked For Me!My natural hair color is a medium brown, but it has been dyed several colors over the years both by professionals and using the box dyes. The latest color was supposed to turn a dark brown color into a vibrant red color, but ended up more like a purple-ish, red-orange color depending on what light I was in. It was not what I wanted at all. I read reviews for color removers and settled on this one. I was extremely nervous, but decided to give it a shot. To my surprise, it actually worked really well! My hair already pulls red, but this product (after 2 applications) turned my hair into a very light reddish-brown color. I've read that it is safe to apply new color right after using this product, but I chose not to because I'm okay with this color for now and am worried about my hair becoming more damaged than it already is after coloring and color removing. I would strongly recommend a deep repairing conditioner to use after applying this product, as it does dry out the hair to some extent (much less than bleaching would though!). Also, a lot of reviews have mentioned the bad smell of this product, but I did not find it to be bad at all. It does have a strong chemical smell, but it did not linger in my hair after a shampoo and deep conditioner. Overall, I am impressed with this product. It got the job done! Hope this helps!posted Dec 23, 2010Link to this post

0020: Time to Talk Race, Class, Gender, and Sexual Orientation in Middle School
Time has to be made for relevant discussion in classrooms. We're all fast away making sure curriculum is being learned in a timely manner, and it's easy to forget to involve the students. Sometimes it's frowned upon. Students have issues that need to be heard, and they're not all pretty. But, they need help dealing with emotions, fears, and so forth. They need help putting words to what they're experiencing, and that help comes from someone listening.
I had the chance to engage a class in good conversation this morning. I've heard quite a few of my students (and many others) outside of class calling each other "gay" or "fag" along with a slew of other terms. This has been an issue in every school I've taught. It was when I was in school and quite possibly will continue to be until people stop to talk about it. The discussion got to go beyond "don't say that" and turned into a discussion lead mostly by the students about homophobia and the cultural acceptability of people who identify as gay in their community. I've always been impressed by students' willingness to engage in these conversations an voice their opinions. Furthermore, their ability to examine themselves honestly during these discussions in amazing. I find myself drawn in and pensive during these, as they always move me into self-examination. The conversation continued into matters of race and class when a student expressed a desire to be white. A few students got mildly hostile at first, but when prompted to listen to her understood better what she meant . We discussed the importance of finding peace with who you are regardless of race, class, gender, or sexual orientation.
This discussion will be ongoing, and many things weren't remedied, but we entered into the dialogue. We walked away from the discussion today a with a little more self-awareness and a better understanding of each other. I relish these moments as a teacher as the most important part of the job.

In the lead up to Research In Motion Ltd.'s launch of its BlackBerry 10 platform next week, the company itself has been showing off the new software to journalists around the world using demo devices with different hardware than what will ship when the new handsets actually go on sale.
The corporate reboot at Research in Motion Ltd. marks its first anniversary today. The tech giant's beleaguered stock price has been on an absolute tear of late — up 14% since last week to burst the $18 range and a whopping 170% appreciation from its 52-week low of $6.10 last September.
But there have been a number of leaks ahead of the launch and now German website TelekomPresse has what looks to be the touchscreen model, known as the BlackBerry Z10, and has posted a video on its YouTube account comparing RIM's new flagship device to Apple Inc.'s iPhone 5.
(The touchscreen handset is expected to be the first to launch with a device including a physical keyboard to follow shortly.)
The video compares the hardware of the two devices and also pits the features of the BB10 device against the iPhone 5.
Take a look to see how they compare on elements like screen size, button position, sending and receiving messages, display of apps and opening web pages. The video is in German with some English subtitles.
The reviewer seems to conclude the apparent BB Z10 performs as well or better on many fronts but lacks the number of apps available on Apple's ecosystem.
By Jan. 30 we'll know exactly how close this and other leaks were to the actual devices RIM launches.
RIM shares were up close to 10% by noon ET Tuesday at about US$17.40 in New York amid renewed optimism for the company.
Scotiabank analyst Gus Papageorgiou raised his rating on the company to sector outperform on Tuesday, saying revenue from customers upgrading to the new devices alone could top analysts' estimates.
RIM CEO Thorsten Heins also recently reiterated that the company is considering strategic options including a sale of its hardware production unit, giving fresh momentum to its stock.

New £4 million auction mart taking shape in north Cumbrian town
Published at 15:06, Friday, 20 July 2012
Development of a new multi-million pound auction mart in Wigton has begun.
The mart will have an area for cattle sales and offices, as well as a cafe and restaurant.
Steelwork has already begun on the new Hopes auctioneers premises – said to be costing just under £4 million – on Syke Road.
A business statement submitted to Allerdale council says that the new auction mart could create seven jobs when it opens.
It will replace the existing buildings that are currently in use but are becoming out of date.
Planning permission was originally granted by Allerdale for the development in August 2010 but since then the project has been beset by delays.
Despite this, auctioneer David Bowman hopes that it will be a shot in the arm for Hopes. He said: "It's been stop-start so far and gone in phases.
"It's a completely new project that we've been planning for five or six years.
"It'll develop the business and help with a lot of things.
"It might create jobs – we will know once we get into it."
Despite the slow progress made so far, it is hoped that the new building will be completed by the week before Christmas.
A planning statement submitted to Allerdale council on behalf of Hopes said: "The Wigton mart is experiencing a number of problems both in terms of its buildings and its ability to comply with current regulations.
"To remain competitive Hopes must provide farmers with an appropriate modern facility with good transportation links and a site that allows easy access for articulated wagons responsible for transporting livestock."
John Pearson, of Story Homes Construction, confirmed that the completed mart building would have 13,100sq ft square feet of cattle penning areas, 3,200sq ft of office and cafe space, and a further 3,200sq ft of sales area.
