Maseru, Lesotho (CNN) -- No mountain is too high for horse riders in Lesotho, who have come up with a unique way of delivering AIDS drugs to remote communities cut off by the country's steep and rocky terrain.
Although it is completely surrounded by South Africa, Lesotho is its own country, with unique customs, culture and challenges.
One challenge for Lesotho is its mountainous landscape, with 80% of the kingdom above 1,800 meters. But the small kingdom has another, more deadly, problem: More than one in four of its two million people are infected with the HIV virus.
But the rugged landscape makes it difficult to deliver life-saving treatment to AIDS sufferers.
Dr. Leo Buhendwa is country director for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. He decided something had to be done to help mountain communities who are often unreachable by road after heavy rains and winter snow.
"Thirty percent of the population was cut off for four months," he said.
"What that means is that for four months they couldn't access care, they couldn't access treatment, and they couldn't access prevention services. So we had to find a solution."
Buhendwa's solution was to set up the Horse Riding for Health program, adapting an old tradition to help those unable to access care.
"Ponies are part of life here," said Buhendwa. "They use ponies anyway in the mountains -- in the winter there is no other means of transport. So we adapted the reality we found to reach our objectives," he said.
Mabusang Sehaja has a young daughter with HIV. Sehaja said that in order for her daughter to receive treatment they must travel for an hour and a half through steep and rocky terrain.
The remote clinic Sehaja and her daughter visit is the closest one to their village, which treats 152 HIV patients.
The clinic is so hard to reach that its nurse lives on site because commuting to work would be too difficult. It now receives help from the program, with four horse riders working in the area.
One of the riders is Potso. He begins his day early in the morning, with a 30-minute ride to a Red Cross clinic, where he collects a supply of lifesaving drugs.
From there he leaves the main road and makes a grueling ride through the mountains to the clinic where Sehaja and other patients await test results and drugs.
Buhendwa says it is the local knowledge of horse riders like Potso that makes the program a success.
"If you don't study how to bring a message, you shock people," he said. "In Lesotho we are still traditionalists, and when you shock people you shock the traditional elements and then the message cannot pass.
"When you work with people to solve their own problems, always there is a solution. As doctors, as nurses, as international partners, we are just there to help. We cannot do it ourselves -- we have to do it with the communities."
Potso rides up the same stretch of mountain several times a week to make sure the clinic storeroom is fully stocked with antiretroviral drugs.
Like nearly everyone in the country he has been personally affected by HIV. His brother was a victim of the virus.
"If my brother was aware of HIV and AIDS and the drugs that were available, he wouldn't be dead," said Potso.
"I wanted to be a horse rider, because I wanted to help the people," he added. "I didn't want to be in that disaster again."

Meet Silvia Bichler
Silvia Bichler, who has worked at De Anza for 10 years, moved to the United States from Germany in February 2001. She started out as the division administrative assistant, or DIVA as she calls it, for the Distance Learning Division at De Anza. When that position was eliminated due to budget cuts in March 2005, Bichler found a new home in the Creative Arts Division Office as its DIVA.
"I like the group of creative people I work with and the challenging and diverse job of a Creative Arts Division admin," Bichler says. With the implementation of Banner, Bichler says the campus DIVAs have even more hats to wear.
"We have become counselors, purchasing agents, human resources specialists, payroll assistants, tech trainers, schedulers, building monitors, web designers, theater event coordinators, budgeters and personal assistants," she says. "In order to not lose the focus on our students but also master this incredible change and extension of our jobs, we meet once a week for lunch to work together on Banner challenges and assist each other in solving problems."
Bichler says having that network bridges the information gap that sometimes arises when division assistants are unable to attend meetings scheduled during times when they can't close their offices. "Most of us can't leave our offices for extended periods of time because we must keep public office hours. I consider my new DIVA network my most positive job experience in 2011," Bichler says.
Ilan Glasman, instructor in the Choral Program, says Bichler leads an organized division whose population of faculty and students are extremely diverse artists with unique needs. "She is part office manage, part budget expert, part operations genius, part event organizer, part diplomat, part caterer, part fire extinguisher, part babysitter, part psychologist, part rabbi and part cultural affairs minister," Glasman says. "Oh, yes, and she does it all with a smile!"
Bichler's first encounter with De Anza was a frustrating attempt to enroll in a creative writing class in March 2001. Had she not met then-President Martha Kanter, who guided her to the right contact person, she would have left campus discouraged. Instead, she won a writing competition in that class and went on to take screenwriting classes. "When I applied for the job of division admin at Distance Learning, I made the promise that I would never, ever give a student the runaround if I got that job," Bichler says. "Now, after 10 years, I can proudly say that I have never given a student the runaround. I consider this my greatest achievement."
Being a De Anza student and immigrant herself and speaking six languages helps Bichler establish an immediate connection to most students. "I like when their faces light up because they feel heard and helped and understood."

Convocation Marks Start of Stevens Journey for Class of 2017, the Largest in University History
Stevens Institute of Technology officially welcomed the Class of 2017 to the university community with its 143rd Convocation on Sept. 4, 2013 in Canavan Arena. Keynote speaker Rochelle Hendricks, secretary of higher education for New Jersey, urged the university community to "outdo and outshine your own accomplishments to date – as an institution and as individuals."
Convocation is an annual Stevens tradition held at the beginning of each fall semester to introduce the incoming class to the university and induct new students into the Stevens Honor System.
The profile of this year's class demonstrates how Stevens is making progress on the growth, selectivity and diversity goals outlined in the university's ten-year strategic plan.
With 719 new freshmen and undergraduate transfer students, the Class of 2017 is both the largest and the most selective group of new undergraduates in university history.
The class hails from 29 U.S. states and includes 42 international students from 13 countries, including the first-ever Stevens students from Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Poland, South Africa and Thailand.
The class makeup includes 30 percent women and 13 percent underrepresented minorities, and the average SAT score of 1210-1390 is ten points higher than last year's class.
While engineering remains the most popular major for first-year students, academic distribution is expanding, with 30 percent of the class planning to studying business, science or humanities.
And the new students bring a range of interests and talents to Stevens, including in sports. Approximately 190 new student-athletes will compete on varsity teams for the Ducks.
Approximately 900 graduate students, including more than 600 full-time students representing 31 countries, also enrolled at Stevens for fall 2013.
The Convocation ceremony began with an address from Stevens President Nariman Farvardin focused on Stevens' rising national stature as a premiere technological institution.
He spoke about the excellent career and salary outcomes of last year's graduating class, and told new students they can look forward to full university support as they progress toward their successes in their personal and professional lives.
"We work hard to attract diverse and talented students, and then ensure that all in our care are given every opportunity and support to be successful and enjoy their experience," said Farvardin. "Consider these next four years as our investment in your future."
Secretary Hendricks, who has more than 20 years of experience working on key education initiatives in the Garden State, said she was moved by the intellectual vigor and entrepreneurial spirit of the Stevens community. Praising Stevens as "an ever-rising star on an ever-rising stage" and a "place for ideas and ideals," she set high expectations for the Stevens community as change agents within the state and nation.
"In today's challenging times, those of us fortunate enough to be educated and trained as problem-solvers must harness our gifts and talents for the greater good," Hendricks said. "Stevens: We are counting on you to be the difference we all want to see in the world. Our shared future pins on places like Stevens and people like you."
Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer also welcomed Stevens' newest students to their new hometown, encouraging them to follow in the footsteps of Stevens students and alumni throughout history by getting involved in the local community.
From local development and design projects to flooding and water main issues to transportation concerns, the city faces countless science and engineering challenges, she said, and the innovative and brilliant minds of Stevens students are always welcome to lend a hand.
"I'm constantly so impressed by the volunteerism spirit of Stevens students," Zimmer said.
Other Convocation speakers included Student Government Association President Ashley Montufar '14, who said called for new students to fully embrace every Stevens experience; Chairperson of the Stevens Honor Board Shane Arlington '14, who inducted the new students in the Stevens Honor System; and Stevens Alumni Association President Thomas Moschello '63, who presented the class banner to the Class of 2017.
Convocation is also a time to recognize outstanding students and faculty for accomplishments in academics, research and extracurricular activities.
Dozens of awards were presented to student and faculty honorees, including an honorary Master of Engineering degree to Dr. Alexei Miasnikov, Stevens professor of mathematical sciences and an international expert in cryptography, computational complexity and group theory.

HONOLULU (Reuters) - A team trying to solve the mystery of Amelia Earhart's fate 75 years after she vanished over the Pacific has ended its expedition to a remote island without finding her plane, the group said.
Researchers on July 3 set off on a $2.2 million expedition and travelled 1,800 miles (2,897 km) by ship from Honolulu to Nikumaroro in the Republic of Kiribati to search for clues to her disappearance in 1937.
"We are returning from Nikumaroro with volumes of new sonar data and hours upon hours of high-definition video," The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery said in a statement on Monday.
TIGHAR did not immediately release details about what the sonar data or video might show, and it did not say that any plane wreckage it had sought has been recovered.
Earhart, along with her navigator Fred Noonan, set out to circumnavigate the globe along an equatorial route.
Richard Gillespie, executive director of TIGHAR, has said that he believes Earhart died a castaway in searing hot Nikumaroro, which is 400 miles (644 km) southeast of the Howland Island destination that Earhart and Noonan had been aiming for when they disappeared. Before radio contact was lost, Earhart had said from the air that her plane was short on fuel.
Gillespie has said evidence found on Nikumaroro in previous expeditions included what appeared to be a bottle of 1930s anti-freckle cream, bits of clothing and human bone fragments, which have led some to believe Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan may have been marooned on the island.
TIGHAR said on its website that researchers are on their way back to Honolulu after cutting short the expedition due to equipment malfunctions. They spent five days on site, but had planned to be there for 10 days.
Researchers had said they believed Earhart's Lockheed Electra plane could rest in waters off Nikumaroro, where they suspect she survived for weeks or months.
During the five days they spent searching, the crew of expedition ship Niku VII was challenged by the undersea environment, in the form of a craggy reef slope with vertical cliffs stretching down for between 110 feet (34 meters) and 250 feet (76 meters), the group said on its website.
On July 19, the expedition's blog questioned whether an aircraft that sank 75 years ago could even be found. Not only is the area filled with nooks, crannies and caves, but it is possible the aircraft might have floated away, the group said.
Pat Thrasher, president of TIGHAR, said the Niku VII expedition crew will arrive in Honolulu at the end of this month, at which point Gillespie, who was on the expedition, will be available to answer questions.
Once the crew returns to land, the TIGHAR team will review and analyze the new material. The search for answers to Earhart's disappearance was documented for a Discovery Channel television special set to air on August 19.

Goal #4: Strengthen Campus Culture
UIS will be known for its high level of responsiveness to students and as an institution where respect and civility prevail in all interactions.
Strategic Thrust #1: Create Identity
Create an identity that is clear to all UIS faculty, staff, students, alumni, and to the external community. UIS will have comprehensive, ongoing orientation and internal communication procedures in place to keep everyone informed and involved in implementing the UIS brand and vision.
Action Step #1: UIS will complete its branding process and include its message continuously in the orientation and communications plans.
Action Step #2: A mandatory orientation program will be approved for all new UIS staff. The program will include information about the heritage, values, mission, vision, and strategic plan of UIS. It will also describe and promote the distinct contribution of UIS in the University of Illinois system. All new UIS staff will receive this orientation within their first month of employment.
Action Step #3: All current UIS staff will participate in unit-level orientation to the UIS Strategic Plan within three months of its approval. Then, there will be periodic and ongoing review of the strategic plan at the same unit level. The initial orientation will include information about the heritage, values, mission, vision, and strategic plan of UIS. It will also describe and promote the distinct contribution of UIS in the University of Illinois system. Vice chancellors will be responsible for implementation. All UIS staff and faculty have tasks and responsibilities connected to the UIS vision.
Action Step #4: UIS will create an internal communications plan and will notify the UIS community and alumni about this plan. The internal plan will include ways that all UIS staff and faculty can stay informed about what is happening at UIS (policies, activities, events, etc.). A major purpose of this plan should be to promote the identity and vision statement of UIS.
Action Step #5: Expand the Office of Web Services to align its staff and technical resources with the growing need of faculty, staff, and students to use web sites as a major source of information and communication.
Action Step #6: Create and sustain both short- and long-term marketing programs that promote a coherent identity for UIS.
Performance Indicators for strategic thrust #1:
- Brand identified
- Orientation programs in place for current and new staff
- Internal communications plan implemented and well-known to all staff and faculty
- Marketing program in alignment with curricular, co-curricular, brand, recruitment, and development efforts
Strategic Thrust #2: Responsiveness
UIS must be a place where there is an expectation of extraordinary customer service for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and visitors.
Action Step #7: UIS will launch a campuswide Customer Service Program. Special emphasis will be placed on the business services that benefit students, staff, faculty, and visitors.
Action Step #8: The commitment to good service will include specific ways to obtain continuous feedback – sometimes "instant feedback" – from staff, students, and visitors in response to programs, events, training, or service. Methods of feedback might include surveys, online surveys, and customer and staff satisfaction surveys.
Action Step #9: Create a one-stop shop for students to receive as many services as possible (see Goal #5).
Performance Indicators for strategic thrust #2:
- Implementation of a customer service campaign
- Processes in place for obtaining continuous feedback
Strategic Thrust #3: Build Community
UIS will pay special attention to building a community where all students, staff, faculty, alumni, and visitors feel welcome and treat each other with civility and respect; understand the
traditions, values, and vision of UIS; and work together to implement the strategic plan and achieve the university's goals.
Action Step #10: Develop a list and description of "UIS Traditions." Dissemination of this list will occur during the orientation process for all students, staff, and faculty. The objective is to make sure that all understand the history and traditions of UIS.
Action Step #11: Relationships with alumni will be strengthened by increased communication with them, by their involvement in more planning and activities and events, and by additional networking with the Alumni Association.
Action Step #12: UIS will create a Campus Welcome Committee process. Membership will consist of staff from all divisions and will change regularly. A welcome committee will meet at least once a month with all employees brought on board during the previous month. The purpose of the meetings will be to help provide all employees with an orientation to what is happening on every part of the campus.
Action Step #13: Re-establish community-oriented Continuing Education opportunities with a variety of short courses responding to community needs and interests, especially for nonprofit organizations and for lifelong and non-degree-seeking learners.
Action Step #14: UIS will launch a "Civility Campaign" that will include the preparation of a new document, "The UIS Commitment to Service and Respect." All current UIS faculty, staff, and students will receive the statement.
Performance Indicators for strategic thrust #3:
- List of UIS traditions developed formally
- Campus Welcome Committee established to meet monthly with all new UIS staff
- Re-establish Continuing Education program
- Implement Civility Campaign
Strategic Thrust #4: Enhance the Physical Environment
To help create the kind of culture that we desire and to build community, UIS will take the necessary steps to alter its physical environment.
Action Step #15: UIS will designate responsibility for all campus signage.
Action Step #16: Develop a plan and process for continuously reviewing and improving all signage to make it more user friendly.
Action Step #17: Create a plan for more inside and outside gathering spaces, including such "third spaces" as coffee shops, lounges, and the bike paths and walkways that direct people to such places.
Action Step #18: Design and build "stow and go" spaces for commuter students who take coursework throughout the day and evening.
Action Step #19: Create a long-range plan for statues, monuments, and a sculpture garden. Involve members of the community and potential donors in the process.
Action Step #20: Promote and publicize the need for development of a Campus Town, possibly including a residential retirement center.
Performance Indicators for strategic thrust #4:
- Implementation of process to improve all signage and keep it up to date
- Long-range plans created for gathering spaces, walkways, monuments, statues, and a sculpture garden
- Promotion and public discussion of a Campus Town and possibly a residential retirement center
Strategic Thrust #5: Promote Environmental Sustainability
UIS will be a role model in promoting campus environmental sustainability. UIS recognizes that we are part of a global community with limited resources and that our choices can positively affect that community and campus life.
Action Step #21: Expand, implement, and maintain an effective recycling program on all campus facilities.
Action Step #22: Design new university buildings complying with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards and consider LEED standards in remodeling of existing buildings.
Action Step #23: Raise campus awareness regarding our impact on the environment by developing environmental education programs and participating in public dialogue on environmental issues within and beyond the campus community.
Action Step #24: Consider landscaping, energy use, building maintenance, purchasing, food service, and transportation as specific areas in which environmentally friendly practices are possible and desirable; implement such practices to the extent possible.
Performance Indicators for strategic thrust #5:
- Level of participation in Recycling Program
- Achievement of LEEDS standards in new construction and renovations
- Level of participation in public dialogue on environmental issues
- Focus on environmental preservation and sustainability in campus planning

The stainless steel 18/10 9093 kettle is characterised by a bird-shaped whistle: designed by Michael Graves by applying his own visual language that fuses influences from Art Deco to Pop Art to contemporary cartoon, it has become one of the icons of contemporary design.
The 9093 kettle, with bird-shaped whistle is one of the best-selling Alessi objects in the world. The design of this kettle, created by Michael Graves in 1985, mixes the influences taken from European Art, American Pop and quotes from pre-Columbian cultures. Graves's unique visual language is the reason behind the extraordinary success that the kettle has had since the year of its production. It is a smart object, elegant, but at the same time playful and fun: when the water starts boiling, the bird sings, leading to an inevitable smile.
Born in Indianapolis, he teaches architecture in Princeton since 1962. His architectural works include the Portland Building and the Humana Building, the extension of the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Newark Museum. He created the best-selling 9093 kettle for Alessi. Michael Graves died in 2015.

Is free will an illusion?
Do the actions of our past truly define our present and future, or is our ultimate destiny written in stone (or possibly some more complex but theoretically decypherably language scrawled across the universe)?
It's one of the classic questions reflected in story ever since man first picked up the quill and began to write ponderous self-important fiction, and has persisted to the present day in which narrative has been honed to its ultimate form – pretentious, ponderous blog posts. And I believe I finally may be nearing an answer; it depends entirely on whether God is being forced to animate our destinies to a rigid launch date, and does he have to fit all the spoken dialogue onto two DVDs?
There's a lot of smack being talked about Mass Effect 3. Fans worldwide are raging out about how the tantalizingly vast array of choices and sacrifices demanded throughout the game ultimately boiled down to one frustratingly closed-minded cutscene. I personally would agree that the game could be compared to being sexually edged for twenty to thirty hours by a master whore, only for it to finally be revealed that the whore is an expertly animated shop dummy, the considerable amount of money you spent on her now seems largely wasted, and that the pimp has crippled her in such a way that her resale value is diminished by her inability to perform multi-player for anyone but you.
That said, I've had a marvellously entertaining twenty to thirty hours, although if anone asked me to describe the game, I would probably say "harrowing". Like some cross between Cilla Black's Surprise Surprise and Battle Royale, the game repeatedly re-introduces characters that you've come to love over the last three games; characters you've helped, and who have in turn helped you, and presumably ones you've gone to some degree of effort in the past to preserve. Then it pairs up your prized and beloved companions in front of you, loads a revolver, and asks you who you love more.
Somehow the actual choice here makes it more disturbing. When the acts of the plot murder your companions, it's not so hard to take. The universe has taken them from you, and these not being real characters, you're blameless. There's no way they could have survived. The knowledge that more missions, more dialogue, and more touching moments exist for each character, and that you're making a decision that robs them of that, can be gutwrenching at times. This is how Mass Effect has captured an element of Interesting Times that I've never really felt in a video game before; the loss, the waste, and the sacrifice. As much as I've enjoyed it, I couldn't say it's a wholly positive experience. Commander Shepard certainly isn't a hero that women want to be and men want to be with. Although that said, Shepard does seem to inspire a certain bisexuality, and even Xenophelia, in almost everyone he/she meets.
The great tragedy is that after all this emotional battery, the game takes the bizarre and borderline psychopathic measure of reassuring you that you're innocent of all these crimes and heroics, because what you're ultimately given is a straightforward choice as to how you want to fuck the universe. The whore asks you where you'd like to blow your load; in her ass or the face? Maybe the classic creampie?
She then proceeds to donkey-punch you until your blood and semen trickly sadly down your leg into your crumpled underpants. I think we can probably leave that metaphor there.
Mass Effect 3 is, I would not deny, a great game, and narratively taps into a vein of emotion and inspiration that's possibly never been mined before in the gaming meduium. It's just a shame that after crafting a fascinating universe, pioneering the preservation of choice between installments and after probably more than a hundred hours of individual gameplay this labour of love sadly falls short of what we've come to expect, in the last ten minutes of the show.
Now if you're still playing ME3 for the first time, I urge you to make the most of the excellent missions on offer, and not to be impatient for closure. Because it's a bit shit.

Propane Tank Explosion in Cheshire Destroys Property
Bennington College Fire Causes $250K in Damages
There is currently a fire in the Barn, which houses classes and offices. The building has been evacuated, and the fire department is on scene. There are no student, faculty, or staff injuries. More information to come via this channel. pic.twitter.com/t4nKjZkjqG— Bennington College (@AtBennington) April 30, 2019
Cheshire Fire Blamed on Heating System; Structure a Total Loss
Firefighters Battle With Difficult Blaze At Cheshire Business
CHESHIRE, Mass. — Firefighters battled a difficult blaze that destroyed a Windsor Road business Thursday night.
The Fire Department received a call at 7:21 p.m. of a garage fire as a blizzard swept through the region with frigid temperatures and gusty winds. Upon arrival, the former Kubota dealership was already heavily engulfed in flames.
"Our initial responders reported heavy fire from the garage spreading to the service area. We had a full response. Our first arriving engine went off the road, into a snow bank. Our second engine, when he got here, had electrical issues and lost all electric. We couldn't even flow water," Fire Chief Thomas Francesconi said.
The structure was recently purchased by J. Richardson Contracting. Francesconi said later in the evening that the cause was not yet known but appeared to have begun in the garage area based on initial reports.
The initial responding officer had called immediately for mutual aid from multiple towns. Adams sent an engine while the Adams Forest Wardens, Savoy and Lanesborough departments sent tankers. Dalton Fire Department also responded.
Cheshire got its engine back in service with help from the Highway Department.
"Fortunately for us, our Highway Department was right on the ball. Our engine went off the side of the road and into the snow and they pulled our engine out," Francesconi said.
The former dealership is about three miles off Route 116, and the wind fueled and blew the blaze from the garage and into the former showroom area.
"If the wind wasn't so bad, it wouldn't have taken over on us so bad," the chief said.
The wind had not only fueled the blaze, but the fire also had a head start on responders. The building is on a infrequently traveled, narrow road, and by the time the department arrived it was "50 percent" involved.
"It is not a heavily traveled road, especially during a storm. You can go 10 minutes without seeing a car so nobody would know there was even a fire," Francesconi said.
One of the town's highway crew was plowing on Wells Road when he heard the call. He immediately headed to the scene and said the walls of the building were already collapsing.
The firefighters struggled to get enough water to contain the scene. The flames towered high into the air while five tanker trucks were shuttling water from Hoosac Valley High School -- a trip that was taking at least take 20 minutes. Tankers from the three neighboring towns and from Cheshire shuttled water to the scene until the Hoosac Valley hydrants froze over. There are no hydrants in that area of Windsor Road.
When the wind whipped up, it sent billows of smoke, snow and sparks across the snow-covered yard.
Hinsdale Fire sent its rehab bus and North Adams Ambulance provided rehab on site and firefighters were routinely checking in to be safe. It could not put up its large tent because of the wind. Adams Ambulance also responded to the scene.
Adams Woman Charged With Stealing Four Cars in One Day
CHESHIRE, Mass. — Cheshire Police arrested an Adams woman Friday night who allegedly stole four cars — including a Lexus and BMW — in one day between Adams and Lenox.
Cheshire Police Chief Tim Garner said an officer arrested 33-year-old Chandra Bourelle late Friday night near the town line after she lost control of a car she had stolen.
But it wasn't her first alleged Grand Theft Auto of the night.
Garner said she had been caught earlier in the day stealing a motor vehicle in Adams. She made bail and was released. She then stole a car that had been left running from Racing Mart in Adams, he said.
She took off to Cranwell in Lenox, where she ditched the Adams car and stole another car, the police chief said. After that, she headed to Seven Hills Inn in Lenox, where she reportedly stole yet another car and headed back toward Adams.
"She stole another one in Adams, drove it to Lenox, stole another one, left that one, and drove basically right across the street, stole another one and left the second one," Garner said. "The second one was running at Racing Mart. How she got the Lexus from Cranwell and a BMW from Seven Hills, I don't know."
Garner said a Cheshire officer was on Reservoir Road driving toward Fred Mason Road when he saw the stolen car coming toward him.
"This was the fourth stolen car of the day for this girl, so he spins around to go after her," he said. "She takes off flying so he radios Adams because he thought she was heading that way."
He said the officer found her on East View Drive, and she pulled out onto Route 8 and gunned it north to Adams.
Garner said she lost control of her car near Duke's Sand & Gravel and almost ran into a wrecker.
A wrecker on its way back to Lenox.
"She almost hit a flatbed wrecker from Lenox that had just dropped off the first stolen car so while he was in town he took the last car she stole and brought it back to Lenox," Garner said.
Garner said Bourelle's bail was revoked when she appeared in Northern Berkshire District Court on Monday.

You probably wouldn't buy a brand-new car and assume to never have to add air to the tires, change the oil and check out any abnormal noises. Your home comfort system is like your car's engine; it's a mechanical device with a motor, electrical components... and even fuel. So it is important to have routine maintenance of your home comfort system by a qualified technician. If not properly and routinely maintained, even the best heating and air conditioning equipment could experience complications and become less 'fuel' efficient over time.

I'm very excited about becoming a contributor to GetReligion. It will be a real kick to do what I have often done as a reader -- ponder the lens through which a particular article was written. As an ordained minister who has written for newspapers since I graduated from seminary, I deeply believe that the religion beat demands sensitivity, knowledge, great listening skills -- and a willingness to admit that you don't know it all.
Although I confess that I don't always like it, I am generally grateful, immediately or after I've thought it through, for the folks who took the time to question something I wrote -- and make me check my own assumptions.
I would hope to do the same as a constructive critic here at GetReligion.
I'll ask questions, offer some praise, and question possible factual errors or missing bits in a way that hopefully will open up a door, or new questions.
Meanwhile, here are a few relevant biographical details. I grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., in a family in which politics was a blood sport and religion much more of an intellectual pursuit. After attending a nominally Episcopal prep school, I left the city for college with a great curiosity about what it meant to be a believer. It was while at Hamilton (Kirkland) College, through fellowship groups, chapel services, a group of nuns and the local Episcopal Church, that I really began to experience the presence of God in my life. The Great Anglican divines and poets, including John Donne and George Herbert, led me to the Christian faith.
I began my career as a freelance writer working for weeklies around Princeton, N.J., after graduating from Princeton Theological Seminary. When I was ordained as an Episcopal priest, I moved to Philadelphia, where I began writing for the diocesan paper. After time spent as an assistant chaplain at the University of Pennsylvania, I became news editor for the old Episcopalian, until it moved to New York City.
I've been a stringer what is now Religion News Service, and a frequent commentator, book reviewer and features writer for The Philadephia Inquirer. I have a monthly column in The New Era in Lancaster, Pa.
I've served in a number of parishes, urban and suburban, evangelical and mainstream. But about six years ago I decided that I didn't want to bear arms in the warfare roiling my denomination, and that I would do better as an observer. Currently our family attends a Lutheran church that marries the Gospel to social justice and an openness to new believers.
While I remain strongly eucharistically focused, I believe that our churches need to do a better job of reaching the indifferent or hurt or lost members of the flock. This can be done without sacrificing the basics of the faith, including creedal orthodoxy. I have also developed a deeper appreciation for the Anabaptist traditions, and their focus on communal holiness -- something many of our larger denominations lack.
I can't close without mentioning that I have two children who continually amaze me (and sometimes make me nuts). Our family lives outside (way outside) the Beltway in exurban Pennsylvania, where you can still see the stars at night -- even if you can't count them.

Using wands – with some recent theorycraft thrown in
I started to just give tentative conclusions of my wand use analysis, and realized there was a MUCH more useful post connected. So let me start with the generally useful…
When wandering around the lower levels, I frequently see questions along the lines of "how do I use a wand?" Let me start with these basics.
Any priest can use a wand – the skill is in your initial set. Your character doesn't have to learn a darn thing – no training. What YOU have to do is two-part – maybe three.
First, you have to get a wand. Go to the Auction House and spend the silver – it's an outstanding investment. You'll want any wand you can afford, but I'll say right now that the crafted wands from enchanters are very good compared to drops for the level – you won't get the stats, but the damage is higher. And… it being an easy and inexpensive level up, the wands are usually overstocked and very cheap. You buy it, you get it from your mailbox, and you equip it. Equip it?
Open your character sheet (click the button on the toolbar or press C). You should be seeing a picture of your toon with some boxes around it. On the bottom, in the middle, are three boxes. You will drag your wand from your bag to this spot. It is now equipped.
To actually shoot the wand, open your spell book and go to the general spells (the ones tabbed with a boot). Look for "shoot". Pick an enemy target, and click this button. Off it goes. It stops when you kill the target OR when you move OR when you interrupt it. You can copy/move this button (like all spells) to your toolbar so you can get to it without having to open your spellbook. I recommend this, actually, as it's a much faster way to get it in combat.
Up to about level 20, your wand will do more dps than any other spell you've got. And it doesn't use mana. This is why so many guides say to use something and then finish the mob with the wand — the big splash plus dot enhance the wand's effectiveness, and when you're done your mana is pretty much topped off for the next fight. GREAT grinding method. After level 20… it depends on the wand and the mob. Eventually, the wand is basically a stat/ability carrier that can be used to add some token quantity of damage in a pinch.
One last thing that comes up frequently. If you have talents that enhance, or something that procs on, spells – they won't interact with the wand. Gear that adds damage to shadow won't do a darn thing for a shadow damage wand. Sorry.
That's the basics, and you can quit here. I'm going into some technicalities now.
My tests give me a high confidence the wand uses the spell attack table, not the ranged attack table. The primary reason for this assumption is that crits proc near the rate of spell crit, not ranged/melee crit. Supplementing this reason are two less definitive, but still telling, facts. First, misses are labeled "resists" – a spellbased label. Second, crits do 150% damage, not double.
Because it's the spell attack table, the base to-hit for an equal level target is 96%. For the spell-table, we know that +/-1 or 2 levels in relation to your target is an equal percent change in hit — if you're two levels higher, you will hit 98% of the time. UNTESTED AND NO LONGER TRUSTED is what happens if you're four or more levels above your target. The existing information is that starting at level 3 the amount changes by quite a bit – differently for PVP and PVE targets – and that you always have a hard-capped 1% miss rate. This is on my list of thing to test.
PROVEN UNLIKELY is the existing information that crits are 'fixed' for wands. The rate of crits changes if your level is different. Because there is a possible question as to whether the tables are one- or two-roll tables I cannot be definitive, but a two-level difference will give you a + 0.3-0.45% increase (estimating 0.4%, or 0.2% per level) in your crit rate. IT IS POSSIBLE but untested that gear which increases your spell crit rate will increase the crit rate of your wand. Increases for greater ranges are untested.
As a final diversion, I am putting my determination of whether spells are one- or two-table attacks on hold. I cannnot comfortably account for the modification of crit range given by the difference in level, and this obscures the SMALL difference caused by small-crit-rate players casting spells. I suspect what is required is a high-crit spellcaster — a mage, for example — who is ideally level 68 and is willing to spend a couple of hours casting spells instead of throwing bombs at Dr. Boom. Since I don't have such a mage to hand, I will seek alternatives and techniques to get a better handle on the issue.

One morning on "nana duty," I awoke in a panic. It was 7:30 a.m. The house was quiet. No baby crying. No dogs barking. No patter of 2-year-old feet.
Where was he?
Every day for two weeks, my wake-up call had come knocking by 7 a.m. He'd jump out of bed and run to his parents' room, where his daddy would stop snoring long enough to say, "Good morning, Randy. Go tell Nana you want pancakes. Don't tell her I sent you."
Randy would run to the guest room and knock on the door.
"Who's there?" I'd call, playing dumb. I'm good at it.
Then he'd laugh and shout, "It's ME, Nana! It's ME!"
And with that, the sun would rise, the day would begin and all would be right with my world.
Occasionally I'd spend time rocking his baby brother, or laughing with his mama, or sitting with his daddy watching the Warriors get beat on TV.
Or I'd go over to his baby cousin Henry's house for a while just to smell Henry's neck.
"Nana duty" means doing whatever is needed most. I've done other "duties" in my life, not just as a nana, but as a mother, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a friend.
I'm not alone. Most of us have done some kind of duty. Some are harder than others. Making pancakes for a 2-year-old is a lot easier than listening to a friend cry her heart out because her marriage is failing; or sitting by your mother's bed watching her struggle to take a breath; or having to explain to your children that after years of fighting cancer, their dad is finally losing the fight.
Easy or hard, they're all labors of love. That is why we do them. Because we love. And we want to be loved in return. And we hope to be remembered.
The older I get, the more I'm aware of how little time I have left to spend with those I love. It doesn't matter how long it might be; it won't be long enough.
Someone asked me, "What's on your 'bucket list'?"-- things to do before kicking the bucket. I had to think. There are lots of things I want to do, places I'd like to go. But if I had such a list, it wouldn't be places and things; it would be people that I love.
I want to see their lives unfold. I want to hold my husband to his wedding vow to be more like his dad. Watch my kids fulfill their dreams and be profoundly happy. See my grandkids grow up to change the world and call their nana every Sunday.
If I can't do all that, I'd at least like to be remembered. Nana duty is about making memories.
The morning Randy didn't come knocking, I found him sitting in his high chair eating Panda Puffs. I guess his dad thought I needed a break. I tasted a Puff. It was cold.
"Nana's sorry," I said. "Want me to make you pancakes?" He shook his head "no" and downed another bite. Then his eyes lit up and he began to sing. I wish you could've heard him. It was a song I hadn't heard him sing before, one that I made up when he was born. I've sung it countless times -- to him and to his cousin Henry and even to his baby brother -- but I had no idea that he had learned it.
He sang it perfectly, word for word, just the way that I do: "Nana loves you so, Nana loves you so, Nana loves you so, don't you know, don't you know?"
Then he reached up, smiling, and patted the tears from my face.
"Dat's 'Nana's Song,' " he said.
In years to come, I'll add more verses for him and his cousin and his brother: "Nana thinks you're perfect." "Nana will have a little talk with your parents/teacher/coach/girlfriend/boss." "Nana will buy you a car." "Nana needs a strong arm to lean on."
Maybe, if I'm lucky, they'll remember the whole song.

Emerald Ridge student, dad arrested after sheriff's deputies say pot brownies made teens sick at school
A 16-year-old Emerald Ridge High School student and her father were arrested during the last week of class Tuesday after the girl gave pot brownies to fellow students, the Pierce County Sheriff's Department said.
She gave the edibles to four other students at the South Hill school, who became sick, sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said. Medics were called about 9:45 a.m. by school officials when the students became sick, and the teenagers were treated at the scene and released to their parents, Troyer said. The ages of those students were not immediately available.
Deputies arrested the 16-year-old, who was not ill, and booked her into Remann Hall Juvenile Detention Center for investigation of drug delivery, Troyer said.
Information about whether any of the students would be disciplined by the school was not immediately available Tuesday night, Puyallup School District spokesman Brian Fox said.
After learning about the marijuana, Investigators searched the girl's South Hill home in the 10500 block of 143rd Street Court East, where Troyer said they found a THC extraction operation, and 125 marijuana plants in the basement.
The dad, who Troyer said admitted giving the THC oil to his daughter that she made the brownies with, was arrested and booked into Pierce County Jail for investigation of the drug operation.
"With our new marijuana laws, and especially with their approach to edible product, we will see more young people getting sick and injured," Sheriff Paul Pastor said in a statement. "We can expect more abuse and criminal activity as this law is implemented."

The two gravest dangers to Arab economies come from Israel and privatization, said the former UAE Central Bank governor.
In a recent lecture, Abd al Malik al Hamar stated that normalization with
Israel directly targets Arab people, despite the popular rejection of ties with Israel. According to him, UAE businessmen avoid establishing joint ventures with Israeli parties, and he also said that governments should be caution with their privatization plans in order to avoid Israel acquiring Arab capital and assets. Throughout his speech, al Hamar outlined the huge economic differences between Israel and the Arab states. For example, he mentioned that the expenditure on scientific research of the GDP is 2.1 percent in the Arab states but 8.1 percent in Israel, which helps Israel widen the
hi-tech gap.

Jason Bateman and Ron Howard presented producer pal Brian Grazer with the Abe Burrows Entertainment Award at the Alzheimer's Association's "A Night at Sardi's" event — and I was there to land some scoop on Arrested Development's new season. The fresh episodes, which will be released by Netflix in May, pick up right where the show left off on Fox in 2006, executive producer Howard says.
"One of the very last lines in the show was when [I say in voice-over], 'I don't think [Arrested Development] is a TV show; maybe it's a movie,'" he says. "So in the new season, we create a heightened version of Imagine Entertainment," Howard and Grazer's production company.
"We talk about what could be our new Da Vinci Code," Grazer says, referencing the movie the duo produced in 2006. And according to Bateman, who plays Michael Bluth, "in one episode, I get stuck in an elevator with Ron and Brian." But it's not your typical close-quarters scenario. Howard says, "It has a lot to do with our inflated egos."
