Fox News on Flight 370: 'Benghazi'
It took 12 days.
It took 12 days, but it finally happened. With CNN and MSNBC going wall-to-wall with Malaysia Airlines "breaking news" that is in no way breaking, Fox finally found its opening last night to shoehorn in the most important issues of our time. "The media is running wild with the airliner story, as you know, and there is a big reason why: money," said Bill O'Reilly, putting on his media-critic hat during Factor last night. "The network news doesn't want to cover important stories, like the IRS and Benghazi, but they can cover the airliner without any political consequences."
However, he narrowly missed being the first Fox News host to make the inevitable connection.
Those honors, Mediaite reports, go to Andrea Tantaros of The Five, who on Thursday evening compared the grieving families of those aboard Flight 370 to the families of the four Americans killed in Benghazi. "Think how long it took for them to get this kind of media attention," she said. "Feels like the families of Benghazi — just saying."
We're not saying a memo definitely went around Fox News headquarters urging them to connect these particular dots, but don't be surprised if the mentions become more common now that the floodgates have been opened.
"Cable news is in a brutal war for ratings," O'Reilly added, making sure this particular "important" story got its due attention. "The Fox News Channel was the No. 1 rated cable channel in the country last week," he said. "Not just news — all cable channels! We beat everybody." He speaks, then, only from the highest of horses.

Securities Suits' Settlement Value Lowest in Decade, Report Says
The number of securities class action settlements approved by U.S. courts dropped in a "weak year" to the lowest point in a decade as the average amount of each accord fell by 42 percent in 2011, according to a report.
Sixty-five such cases were resolved last year for a total of $1.4 billion, the fewest settlements and lowest aggregate dollar value in more than 10 years, Cornerstone Research, an economics and financial consulting firm, said in a study released today. The average settlement amount fell from $36.3 million in 2010 to $21 million last year, according to the annual report.
"The class action securities fraud market is a business, just like any other, and the 2011 settlements data indicate that the plaintiffs and their counsel are coming off a weak year," Joseph Grundfest, a Stanford University law professor, said in a statement accompanying the report's release.
The settlement value fell 58 percent, from $3.2 billion in 2010 to $1.4 billion last year, according to the report. The 2011 total is half that of 2002, the next lowest year.
The declining numbers reflect the weakness of cases filed three to five years ago, tougher standards of proof imposed upon by the U.S. Supreme Court and market instability that has made it more difficult for shareholders filing suit to say they weren't aware of the inherent risk of investing, Grundfest said.
'Lost Money'
"You couldn't prove that you lost money because of anything related to fraud," said Grundfest, who was a commissioner on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 1985 to 1990.
Attorney Gerald Silk, a partner in the New York-based firm Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossman LLP, agreed in part with Grundfest.
"All of these things have, in some respects, made it more difficult to bring these cases," he said in a phone interview. Still, he said, "numbers don't tell the whole story."
Silk called the Cornerstone figures a "snapshot" of securities litigation at a particular moment that doesn't take into account all the cases for which agreed-on settlements were near final approval at the end of the calendar year.
One of those cases handled by Bernstein Litowitz, Silk said, was a $516 million accord in litigation involving Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. directors and officers that was submitted to a federal judge in Manhattan in December. That case will be counted in the 2012 annual report.
Weak Crop
Laura Simmons, a co-author of the Cornerstone report, said in a phone interview that last year's cases were a weak crop. She cited a drop-off in the number of cases sparked by accounting-related allegations such as financial restatements, and a decline in the number of parallel SEC enforcement actions.
"Certainly, one could point to improved governance," she said. Reforms imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 would have had time to take effect by the time the cases covered by this latest report were filed, she said.
According to the Cornerstone report, the median settlement value for the 65 cases resolved last year was $5.8 million, the lowest in 10 years and a drop of almost 50 percent from 2010.
"We're seeing historic lows in the number and value of cases settled," she said.
Settlement Data
Cornerstone has settlement data dating back to 1996. It began tracking the results after the U.S. Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.
Fewer new cases are being filed too, Simmons said.
In 1997, the first year Cornerstone published a report, more than 200 cases were being filed annually. Since 2006, the average has been lower than 150, she said.
"From everything I've seen to date, the peak activity in this area appears to have passed," Grundfest said.
"To the extent that recent history is a guide, the data appears to suggest that there's not as much money to be made from plaintiffs' class action securities fraud litigation," he said.
While plaintiffs' lawyers will say court rulings have made it harder to bring cases, defense attorneys will counter that large parts of corporate America are now run with more transparency and integrity, Grundfest said.
"That doesn't mean there isn't fraud," he said, "just not as much."
Silk said even plaintiffs are still filing "good" cases even if they aren't filing as many complaints.
"Those cases are not going away," he said. "They haven't gone away."

Re: Does Paying an Old Charge-Off Help FICO: Yes or No?
RobertEG wrote:
From the confusion in what you have read, both here and elsewhere, I think the definitive answer is that there is no definitive answer.
I can opine all I want about what makes or doesnt make sense, or about what the FICO algorithm does with scoring of collections and COs, but absent any specific statement from brother Fair, nothing is definitive.
Being a risk of becoming delinquent analysis, it only makes sense to me that a collection or charge-off should be scored in impact based only on the adverse item that created its reporting.... the DOFD. Later activity has nothing to do with that issue, and thus should not affect its impact regarding its adverse scoring.
However, others swear that both updating reporting and payment or non-payment have effect. Much of that may be due to overlooking other changes that occured in their report, but the anecdotal posts seem to indicate an effect.
In my opinion, the real benefit lies beyond simple scoring. The presence of old, unpaid debt is absolutely a negative in any manual review of a consumer's credit report, and even after the adverse item has been excluded from one's CR, it may still be discovered by subsequent creditors via other means.
Looking at the bigger picture, outside of damage to the wallet, it is always better, in my opinion, to be able to answer No, I have no unpaid delinquent debt, regardless if its CR inclusion or exclusion.
The real benefit is with the scoring.....I would argue the scoring model has become a part of our Defensible Space. After all, the score was created to predict negative behavior....I for one want to understand all that which has a say in my life and demand more government regulation and oversight. With this said, the presence of old unpaid debt could be a clear understanding of how the scoring model works. If I were a lending, I would want someone with one charge-off versus someone who has filed bankruptcy....but the scoring model does not reflect that, right?

At Junior Achievement, we give young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices. Our business volunteers deliver relevant, hands-on experiences that teach students from kindergarten through high school the basics of financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship. JA programs empower students to make a connection between what they learn in school and how it can be applied in the real world, increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school.
year, JA reached 35,000 young people in its Connecticut territory with programs
delivered by business/community volunteers at no charge to participating
schools/organizations 2,500 volunteers shared their talents and business
experience in the classroom. All JA programs correlate to Connecticut's
curriculum standards, which is one of the keys to the organization's success.
These programs result in:Increased student understanding of money, the world of work, and the importance of community.
Over the past three years, JA has launched three new intensive programs for high school students:
For six of the last eight years, JA has received the highly coveted Summit Award from JA USA which recognizes area JA offices for the quality of their programs, overall management effectiveness and fiscal solvency. In 2007, JA received the Peak Performance Award from JA USA in recognition of student growth, revenue growth, and overall organizational quality.
Three year average:
According to a
recent Junior Achievement Retrospective Survey:
JA will determine the impact of its programs on its students with several evaluation tools. These tools measure the following: (1) students' knowledge gain and attitudinal change; (2) teachers' assessment of program effectiveness; and (3) volunteers' assessment of program effectiveness. With the teachers help, JA administers pre- and post-tests to participating students to assess knowledge gain and attitudinal changes. JA also asks participating teachers to assess their students' knowledge gain in the three content areas of financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship.
JA Student Impact Story:
Josslyn, a 10th grade student in New Britain, participated in JA programs each year consecutively from sixth through eighth grade. She was enrolled in a citywide dropout prevention program called Graduation Odyssey, and JA became an integral part of the program's curriculum.
As an active participant in JA programs each year, JA invited her to speak at the 10th annual Partners in Achievement Breakfast in Hartford. In front of more than 400 guests, Josslyn gave a moving testimonial about her experience and how being involved in JA programs helped her to realize her potential and to set goals for her future success. She ended by stating emphatically, "Thanks to JA…I will graduate high school. I will attend college. I will be successful." This truly demonstrates the power of Junior Achievement.
In 2015, Josslyn participated in the first ever JA Career Connections for Young Women (JACC) in Hartford. The intensive 12-week afterschool program prepares and inspires teenage girls, including Josslyn, to focus on careers, professional goals, and financial responsibility.
Indirect Public Support HelpIndirect public support represents revenue received through solicitation campaigns. This includes funding United Way and other federated fundraising organizations, but does not include donor designated contributions.
Earned Revenue HelpEarned revenue represents income generated in direct exchange for a product or service.Earned income includes income from government contracts.
Last year, JA had a surplus for the seventh
consecutive year. This allowed our organization to hire two new staff and also develop
longer duration programs. JA hopes to continue this growth with additional
surpluses in years to come.

According to Vermont State Police Trooper Kurt Wagenbach, Kerry Bourne, 51, attached a metal wire to his electric horse fence, ran it through the woods onto his neighbor's property, and "zapped" the abutting landowner.
The neighbor was not injured by the electrified wire that ran from Bourne's electric horse fence to within 15 feet of his neighbor's home.

Pat, I know your post is 4 years old, but we just found it. My name is Jeff and I live in Wattersonville and am involved with the church and cemetery. We have been working on surveying the cemetery and updating the records. We have no information on Elizabeth but would like to learn anything more that might help us find her grave. As you might imagine, the records are incomplete. Thanks.

iTunes U: Disruptive education--in more ways than one
Online learning has been called many things, depending on its iteration: innovative, flexible, customizable, disruptive, siloed, and disappointing. While people have been creating informal learning networks since the days of BBS and crafting personal learning environments since the web went 2.0, Apple has made the process of online learning considerably more convenient, thanks first to iTunes U and later the iPhone.
Many commentators have hailed universities in particular for making "course content"—usually audio or video recordings of lectures—available to the public through iTunes U. (Universities also may share internal, private networks for students who are officially enrolled in classes, but here I'm writing about iTunes U's publicly available content.) These "open" lectures are incredibly popular; the UK's Open University alone recently marked its 10 millionth download and averages 375,000 downloads each week. Certainly iTunes is making it easier for universities to fulfill the public-facing, community-service aspects of their missions.
The New York Times Bits blog recently shared an argument made by Open University Vice Chancellor Martin Bean:
Other universities say that limited resources, copyright concerns or the reluctance of old-fashioned professors are keeping them from recording and uploading lectures. But Mr. Bean challenges his peers around the world who are not participating in iTunes U at all, or who are making lectures available only to registered students who sign in with a password.
"There are still a lot of universities in the world that define the value of their experience as somehow locking up their content and only giving people access to the content when they enroll in the program," Mr. Bean said. "The courage comes from taking the next leap of faith. Universities no longer define themselves by their content but the overall experience: the concept, the student support, the tutoring and mentoring, the teaching and learning they get and the quality of the assessment."
But will iTunes U in the long run harm universities more than it helps them and their students? Brian Phipps recently explained how, through an expansion of iTunes U's capabilities and the launch of Apple's anticipated tablet, Apple could disrupt the paradigm of higher education:
Here, then, is a hypothetical iTunes U disruption package, conceivably purchased from the iTunes U store for use on Apple's "iTablet" (as speculated).
1. Digital textbooks (designed as multimedia/interactive books)
2. Digital lectures (designed as multimedia/interactive presentations)
3. Digital course materials (movies, music, art, etc.) outboard of online textbooks or lectures
4. Online student discussions, group exercises, team collaboration and uploads
5. Sign-ups, downloaded materials, fees and tuition paid via the iTunes U store.
As a student, you'd visit iTunes U, chose your course or courses, pay the fees, and download everything to your portable device. No lines. No waiting. No "semesters." Order a logo sweatshirt, and you're good to go. This may cost less, deliver more learning, and be far more convenient than attending a traditional university.
If, as Charles Murray has opined in The New York Times and others have elsewhere, the current generation of young people might need to completely rethink the necessity and value of a college degree, then yes, iTunes U might prove disruptive. Users of iTunes U could patch together a college education, taking courses from different institutions as was convenient and affordable, but not in the end earning a degree. Would employers accept from applicants such a hodgepodge approach to higher education? Right now, I'm guessing most would not, but maybe the current bias against autodidacts (even though I have a Ph.D., I'm married to one) will lighten, depending on the industry and its needs.
iTunes U has its critics. See, for example, higher ed agitator and all-around edupunk Jim Groom's recent post "5 Reasons I Don't Like iTunesU." Among other reasons, Groom hesitates to embrace the platform because
ITunesU is not a place for community, context, or collaboration. What is interesting about the web is not that you can get something, but that you can participate and dialogue around something. We have built a community at UMW with web-based technologies that is not about simply getting something, but about discovering something and following a series of connections and exposing a community of ideas that would otherwise be locked behind a wall. ITunesU is just that kind of wall we are trying to avoid.
Groom also wonders why universities aren't uploading this content to the Internet Archive instead of to a for-profit platform. And indeed, the mingling of freely available content from educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and government entities in what is essentially a commercial endeavor does make for a complex intersection.
I'm not ready to invest myself whole-heartedly in this critique—after all, I'm grateful that the Library of Congress, for example, is making its content more easily accessible via iTunes—but I do hesitate a bit when I hear about such partnerships. Remember the Smithsonian Institution's (ultimately failed) decision to license its content almost exclusively to Showtime and the ensuing outrage by historians? Or the controversy over whether it's appropriate for the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration to partner with Footnote.com to charge for digital access to freely available print records? As I said, partnerships like iTunes U are complicated and shouldn't be celebrated—as I see in blog posts and articles all over the web—as an unmitigated good.
I would like to see universities use iTunes to its fullest potential, making available resources in a variety of formats to meet the needs of all learners—by which I mean students with different learning styles (visual, aural, etc.) and students with learning or physical disabilities. That said, Groom is correct—iTunes U currently doesn't offer sufficient capabilities for people to collaborate; for students to interact with one another; for learners to remix the materials into discussions, presentations, and other media as is done in the best collegiate learning environments; or for institutions to establish sufficient context for their materials.
I myself prefer the "small pieces loosely joined" approach to online learning rather than the packaged learning experiences that come in the guise of course management systems and, in some ways, iTunes U. That said, content fed to me through iTunes—podcasts, primarily—does constitute a significant portion of my personal learning environment.
What about you? Do you use iTunes or iTunes U? Is it a significant part of your personal learning environment?

SARASOTA COUNTY - A homeless man went to court and was arrested on Friday, but the notable part of the story is what he hid from the judge as he stood before him.
The judge sent Neil Lansing to jail, where corrections deputies conducting a routine search in a cell block found part of a condom sticking out of his rectum, the sheriff's office said.
According to sheriff's officials: inside the condom they found 17 round blue pills, one cigarette, six matches, one flint, one empty syringe with an eraser over the needle, one lip balm container, one additional unused condom, a receipt from CVS pharmacy and a paper coupon.
Lansing, 33, now faces charges he possessed a drug and a tobacco product inside the Sarasota County Jail. He is being held there without bond.

Tofu Is Still Torturing People
I just got an invite to a tofu chain restaurant's new branch opening and was stunned to realize that tofu is still terrorizing our nation.
I've been kvetching about the stuff since the days of mother-in-law jokes, certain it would be a passing (non-) fancy along with eating cardboard and/or ostrich burgers with bean sprout relish. And yet it's still here, and it's being given more exalted showcases than ever, fancy restaurants serving it in all sorts of visually arresting ways, some for high prices that people will actually spring for.
But it's still tofu! It's bean curd!
It's bland stuff that might well be "good for you" (like spinach or working out) and which might well come in thousands of varieties aimed at jazzing it up to look like something else, but there's no escaping the fact that it's bland, white, yucky tofu! The same shit from the '70s.
Upcoming Events
Yes, the culture around the thing is exciting and the intentions around it are lovely, but the tofu itself can never be turned into anything that would make a sensible person go "Yum!" no matter how much culinary legedermain is performed. I say phooey to tofu. I flip bean curd the bird.
Bok choy, however....

Still, affordability remains a key concern. Across all age groups, 40 percent of the uninsured people in the Kaiser poll said they lack insurance because it's too expensive, compared with just 11 percent who said they don't need it.
Uninsured lack info: The poll also found that few uninsured people have heard more than a little about the insurance exchanges, highlighting the task facing the Obama administration as it seeks to sell the law through education campaigns.
Launch in doubt: The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office (GAO) questioned Wednesday whether the insurance exchanges for individuals and small businesses will roll out smoothly and on time this fall.
In a report, the GAO cautioned that federal health officials still have an enormous task facing them, in part because they are standing up exchanges for 34 states that refused to create their own. The federal data hub has also not been extensively tested, and the Obama administration will need an additional $1.5 billion from Congress to operate the marketplaces next year, according to the GAO.
Republicans jumped on the report to argue that ObamaCare will fail. "This law has been unpopular and unwieldy every step of the way," said House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) in a statement.
Healthwatch has the story.
Break for employers: A bipartisan bill in the Senate would soften ObamaCare's employer mandate. The bill, sponsored by Sens. Joe DonnellyJoe DonnellyOvernight Finance: Senate punts on Zika funding | House panel clears final spending bill | Biz groups press Treasury on tax rules | Obama trade rep confident Pacific deal passes this year Overnight Healthcare: Lawmakers leave for summer without approving new Zika funds Dems block defense spending bill for second time MORE (D-Ind.) and Susan CollinsSusan CollinsTim Kaine backs call to boost funding for Israeli missile defense The Trail 2016: Words matter Lobbyists bolting Trump convention early MORE (R-Maine), would require employers to offer healthcare coverage to employees who work at least 40 hours a week — as opposed to 30 hours per week, where the threshold stands now.
The National Federation of Independent Business, which represents small businesses, praised the bill.
"There is more to be done to help job creators and their employees cope with rising health insurance costs and other collateral damage of [the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act], but this adjustment will provide some much-needed relief, reduce widespread confusion and minimize one of the most pressing challenges small employers face when it comes to complying with a complex and cumbersome law," the NFIB said in a statement.
Some Republicans don't want to do anything to "fix" ObamaCare or mitigate any of the negative effects it might have. But Collins said she thinks it's "incumbent upon us" to fix problems when possible.
Healthwatch has the full story on the bipartisan proposal.
Flashback: Just last month, we asked why no one in Congress had introduced a bill to make this change, given all the talk about how ObamaCare will affect small businesses.
Self-insurance gets the side-eye: The Center for American Progress said Wednesday that self-insurance poses a threat to the Affordable Care Act's success. Most of the law's regulations don't apply to self-insured plans, so some small businesses are looking toward self-insurance as a way to provide coverage without meeting the law's minimum requirements for coverage. But that strategy means employees won't be able to rely on the same consumer protections, and it draws potentially healthy workers out of the broader marketplace for small-business coverage, the group argued.
Read the full analysis here.
AAP blasts farm bill: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) voiced strong opposition to the House farm bill because it would cut food stamps for kids. The measure contains about $20.5 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which the AAP says is vital to children's health and well-being.
"The child poverty rate in the United States is the highest it's been in twenty years," said James Perrin, AAP president-elect, in a statement. "Pediatricians understand firsthand that hungry children are less likely to be healthy, suffer developmental delays and have behavioral problems that hurt their academic performance."
Final votes on the measure could happen Thursday. Read more at The Hill's Floor Action blog.
Reforming PAC: Committee leaders in the House and Senate called for proposals Wednesday on how to improve post-acute care (PAC) in Medicare while controlling costs. In a letter to stakeholders, the Republican and Democratic leaders on the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means committees noted that it is hard to evaluate the system because of "varying mixes of patients across facilities," among other factors.
"We find the substantial variation in Medicare spending, utilization, quality and Medicare profit margins in the post-acute sector troubling," the lawmakers wrote. "Our goal should be to ensure that Medicare beneficiaries receive the right PAC, in the right setting, at the right time, with the highest level of quality."
The letter asks stakeholders to weigh in on hospital readmissions, value-based purchasing, bundled payments and site-neutral payments. Read it here.
Thursday's schedule
The House Ways and Means subcommittee on Health will look at the 2013 Medicare trustees report in a hearing. The panel will debate Medicare's financial status and how to strengthen it.
The Bipartisan Policy Center will host former Agriculture Secretaries Dan Glickman and Ann Veneman, former Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan and others for a discussion on the effect food and farm policy has on health and healthcare costs.

DHANSEN-I came across memorial #148637887 for Elizabeth Cathcart Alexander. When you create the memorials do you get the info from what the Mount Moriah Cemetery office has on record or do you get it directly from the headstone. There was no headstone included with the memorial.
Thank you

McEvoy, Maria
Thank you, so much, for posting this. I'm doing genealogy for a cousin whose ancestor is Cornelius "Neil" Joseph Cullen. His death certificate showed his mother's maiden name as Cox and we found Neil on the 1900 San Francisco census with his father, William Q. Cullen, mother Maria. However, Neil is next found, in 1910 in the household of Michael and Maria Mcevoy...the children Robert, Cornelius, and Willie Cullen are all the same as the 1900 census and are listed under Michael Mcevoy as 'stepson' for each of them. Thereby, it would appear that Maria's husband William Q. Cullen is deceased and she has remarried although I cannot find a marriage record yet. Is it possible to post to the Find A Grave site that she was the mother of: Robert E. Cullen, Cornelius "Neil" Cullen, and William E. Cullen? It might help future researchers make the connection. Thank you, Bonny McDaniel
And Bless you for doing the work you do!

Las Vegas -- Jonathan Byrd sank a hole-in-one on the fourth hole of a three-way playoff Sunday to win the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
Byrd's ace in the fading daylight on the par-three 17th allowed him to best last year's winner Martin Laird and Cameron Percy in stunning fashion at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas.
Byrd teed off first among the trio. His shot bounced hard and then rolled 10 feet directly into the cup. Due to the darkness, Byrd couldn't tell at first what had happened and so hardly reacted.
"I couldn't see it," Byrd told The Golf Channel. "I'm in shock. I think the people at the green were the only people who could see it. I hit it perfect. For it to go in, that's just luck."
Las Vegas -- Jonathan Byrd, three years removed from his most recent PGA Tour victory, moved one shot in front Friday after 36 holes of the Shriners Children Hospitals Open.
Byrd, who has three wins on the tour, shot an 8-under-par 63 at the TPC-Summerlin course for a two-day total of 129.
Ryuji Imada, whose best finish of the season came last week when he tied for
sixth at the Frys.com Open, was alone in second at 130 after posting a 62 -- the
low round of the tournament.
John Senden, one of the five players who shared the lead after the first round, was at 131 in a tie for third with Alex Prugh, Martin Laird, George McNeill and Nicholas Thompson.
Atlanta -- Jim Furyk's even-par 70 Sunday was good enough to give him the Tour Championship and the $10 million 2010 FedEx Cup.
Furyk ended the tourney at 8-under-par 272, one stroke ahead of Luke Donald (70), gaining not only his third PGA Tour victory of the year but enough points to come out on top in the year-long FedEx Cup race.
Furyk's big moment at rainy Atlanta came when he sank a short par save on the 18th hole after blasting out of a green-side bunker, during which he pumped his fist in celebration.
He joined Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh as a FedEx Cup winner and burnished his credentials for Player of the Year with the victory.
Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. -- Alex Cejka, seeking his first PGA Tour victory, holds a five-stroke lead going into Sunday's final round of the Players Championship at Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
Cejka posted an even-par 72 Saturday, but that was good enough to extend his lead over Tiger Woods and five others tied for second place after the third round of The Players Championship at the Stadium Course at the TPC at Sawgrass.
Cejka, who is at 11-under 205 after 54 holes, has four European Tour titles, and three of those came with at least a share of the three-round lead. He shared the third-round lead at the 2001 British Open before a final 73 left him in a tie for 13th.
His five-stroke margin is the largest third-round lead in Players Championship history.

AUSTIN (September 1, 2014) A man died after falling off a cliff Sunday on Austin's Mount Bonnell.
A witness said the man was holding onto a branch Sunday afternoon when he slipped and fell, Austin-Travis County EMS spokesman Mike Benavides said.
First responders had to use ropes to descend the cliff to reach the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene, Benavides said.
Mount Bonnell, at 775 feet above sea level, is alongside the Lake Austin portion of the Colorado River and provides a vista of the city and surrounding hills.

Montville - A state police investigation has concluded that the town's highest-ranking police officer improperly used a computer database to run criminal background checks on the town's Parks and Recreation Department employees and others but did not misuse it for his own personal use.
Lt. Leonard Bunnell, a 35-year veteran of the force, was suspended by the town on Thursday for two weeks without pay. Mayor Ronald K. McDaniel Jr. said the action was taken against Bunnell for violating protocol 38 times while using the Connecticut On-Line Law Enforcement Communications Teleprocessing system, a tool police use to gather criminal justice data.
A state police report provided to The Day on Friday by the town attorney shows that Bunnell violated the COLLECT system protocol in 32 instances when investigating summer camp counselors and a volunteer coach for the recreation department. He called Parks and Recreation Director Peter Bushway to provide him with the information.
The report also says Bunnell used the database to gather past arrest information on a person who requested it in order to make a loan application to purchase commercial property on Gallivan Lane.
The person's name and all other names in the copy of the state police report provided to The Day were redacted for privacy reasons, according to the town attorney, Eileen Duggan, of the law firm Suisman Shapiro.
Other instances of misuse occurred when Bunnell ran background checks on a convicted sex offender and a person who was applying to adopt a child through the state Department of Children and Families. One other instance of misuse took place when Bunnell did a background check on a "strange acting male" asking for residency in a town elderly housing development, the report said.
The COLLECT system's regulations clearly state the database should not be used at the direction of town employees. The state police report also shows that Bunnell took a recertification test in August 2011 in which he correctly answered two questions about protocol regarding the COLLECT system.
The investigation began after a biannual audit of the COLLECT system found 38 instances of misuse involving Bunnell. A COLLECT system auditor also was later alerted by Robin Salvatore, the police union president, that Bunnell had made a request on behalf of Bushway for a documented criminal history on a volunteer coach.
The state police report says that former state police Lt. John Rich and assistant state's attorney Kevin Shea discussed the Bunnell investigation. They decided to leave any discipline to the town unless it was found that Bunnell personally benefited from revealing any information.
Lt. John S. Eckersley, a member of the state police Eastern District Major Crime Unit, who prepared the report, said Bunnell was cooperative and admitted during the state police investigation that he had misused the COLLECT system. Eckersley determined that Bunnell never distributed COLLECT documents to anyone.
McDaniel confirmed Bunnell's suspension Thursday but declined to comment further. Attempts to reach Bunnell this week and on Friday were unsuccessful.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - A.J. Green says he has lost sleep worrying
that his four-game suspension contributed to Georgia's poor start.
Green spoke for the first time Tuesday about selling his
Independence Bowl jersey for $1,000 to former North Carolina and
Marshall player Chris Hawkins. The NCAA ruled Hawkins was deemed to be an agent when it suspended Green, Georgia's top receiver.
The suspension ends this week as Georgia, 1-3 overall and 0-3 in
the Southeastern Conference, plays at Colorado.
Green says he has never met or talked with Hawkins. Green says
he sold the jersey on Facebook because he needed the money for
spring break.
He says he deserved the suspension though at first he didn't
think selling the jersey was a big deal.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Bobby Womack, the legendary soul singer and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Womack revealed the news in a recent interview with BBC Radio, saying the early signs of the disease had been observed by his doctor.
"The doctor said you have signs of Alzheimer's," he said. "He said it's not bad yet but it's going to get worse."
Womack, 68, has had a difficult year in health. Last year he was hospitalized for pneumonia when he was diagnosed with colon cancer. He was later saved from cancer by an operation.
The "If You Think You're Lonely Now" singer said his early bouts with Alzheimer's have been particularly challenging.
"How can I not remember songs that I wrote?" he queried. "That's frustrating."
The Bravest Man in the Universe, Womack's most recent album produced by Damon Albarn of the bands Blur and Gorillaz, was released last year to rave reviews from critics.

text: Axcelis Technologies Another under-$10 name that's trading close to triggering a major breakout trade is Axcelis Technologies ( ACLS), which designs, manufactures and services ion implantation, dry strip and other processing equipment used in the fabrication of semiconductor chips in the U.S., Europe and Asia. This stock has been on fire during the last six months, with shares up a whopping 55%. If you take a look at the chart for Axcelis Technologies, you'll notice that this stock is exploding higher today right above some near-term support at $1.23 a share with decent upside volume. The volume so far this morning has registered 299,000 shares, which is just below its three-month action of 326,097 shares. This sharp move higher is quickly pushing shares of ACLS within range of triggering a major breakout trade. Market players should now look for long-biased trades in ACLS if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $1.40 to $1.45 a share and then once it takes out some past overhead resistance at $1.51 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that registers near or above its three-month average action of 326,097 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then ACLS will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $1.84 to $2.04 a share. Any high-volume move above $2.04 will then put $2.75 into focus for shares of ACLS. Traders can look to buy ACLS off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and then simply use a stop that sits just below some near-term support levels at $1.23 to its 50-day at $1.19 a share. One could also buy ACLS off strength once it takes out those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits right around $1.40 to $1.30 a share. Prev 4 of 6 Next
